of this age. The masses are ruled,
bought, battered, sold and delivered
as so much CHI attels.
The man who stands up to oppose
these things becomes the victim of
this trinity of evils and they combine
their influence to ruin him and his
business A careful Investigation
will show that very often the same
men are ruling commercially, politi-
cally and religiously. And where the
same men do not rule in person they
do by substitute. See Rockefeller,
Carnegie and their like toss a sop to
educational and mission boards, and
then through the schools and
churches thus subsidized seek to edu-
cate the minds and consciences of the
people first to a liberation and then
an endorsement of their system of
Capitalization.
The writer is Baptist preacher,
and he has sought certain infOrma-
ton for years without success. The
Baptist press will not even allow him
to ask for this information through
their columns. Baptist mission boards
know the facts in the case, but will
not give them to the people. We have
offered rewards for it, dared them to
tell it, tried to tantaliZe them into
telling it without avail. You know
we Baptists have bOasted over our
free speech, press and conscience;
but the time has come when some of
us are denied these priceless boons.
We have some mission boards which
know truth of great practical mo-
ment to our people which they will
not tell. We are asking The Jeffer-
sonian to publish our offer of reward
for this information because the Bap-
fist press will not allow us to make
the offer in their columns. The
Christian Index Of Georgia would not
publish this article for 800. You
watch if they will copy it. Many of
them are abusing Bro. Watson for
publishing the truth on them. He
proved what he said by their own re-
cords and yet they will not "fess up"
and admit the truth! If he will print
this article you watch if they furnish
the information or claim the reward.
And now to give it directness, point
and defniteness, I will offer cash
reward of $500 to either DR.. Gray,
the corresponding secretary and treas
urer of the Home Mission Board of
the Southern Baptist Convention, or
to DR.. Bennett, the corresponding
secretary and treasurer of the Georgia
State Mission Board, both located in
Atlanta, Ca, or to any man, whether
a Baptist or not, who will furnish the
following information to me- officially
certified by the secretaries of these
boards.
1. The names, fields, salaries of the
missionaries of the several State
boards auxiliary to the Southern Bap-
fist Convention, and of the mission
aries of the Home Board of the
Southern Baptist Convention.
2. How many of these missionaries
are pastors of Baptist churches, give
names and locations of churches, and
whether in town, city or country.
3. What proportion of the salaries
of such pastors is paid by the
churches, and how much by the
boards?
4. Do these State boards and the
Home Board cooperate in employing
and supporting such pastors, and, if
SO, is the work of such pastors report
ed as mission work." and is not this
work reported by each board? That
is, is not such work reported twice,
once by the State Board and again by
the Home Board?
We ask the readers of The Jeffer-
sOnian to show this to Baptists, espe-
-. L
