court. Hon. w. M. Rooms, attorney
for Suttles, filed an affidavit alleging
misconduct on the part of juror in

ANOTHER ONE, ON HOLINESS.

Well, Tom, do you answer all ques-
tions? Perhaps had you not gone
where angels dare not tread, and in
vaded the missionary field, you
might not have been called upon for
an opinion on the Second blessing"
theory. But in this, as in most other
things, you are found equal to the
task
This scribe has most vivid recol-
lections of the holiness wave that
struck this end of the country some
years ago. Most of us went up and
gave our hand" for the blessing.
Lots of ''em got it, and lots that
thought they did, didn't.
1t, perhaps, was a good thing, but
it seemed to lack sticking qualities.
1t was a very serious problem, but,
nevertheless, it had it's humorous
phases. | now recall one. A very
poor family, who plowed a steer to
make the crop, whose education had
been to the effect that to pillow the
brute was an utter impossibility
without profanity, under the per-
suasive eloquence of the Holiness
man all went up and gave their
hand"-all except John. John set
back with stolid Indifference. Broth
er and sister, in turn with 9TH
ers, went after him, pouring in
to his ear the delectableness of the
new achievement, but no good.
Finally his mother, with full assur-
ance, made her way through the
shouting assembly, and above the
din, the hallelujahs and the loud
amens of the new converts, could be
heard her heSeech mAntS Such as
none but devoted mother can make.

Everybody was expecting that John
would come across" and would
head for the altar to give his hand
for the blessing. AS soon as there
was a lull, so that he could make
himself audible, John began to rea-
son logically. Said he, "Now, nam,
it's like this: you've got EN-, and
pap's got EN-, and SAILS got 'em, and
Jap's EN-. Now spose l go in there
and git 'em, I'd like to know who in
the deuce would pillow that measly
old steer?"
I thought you would have to skid
doc when that Rev. Cullud Gemman

ton about your being such mix
ture Of right and wrong I thought
he had 'sho nuff' got you. I follow

THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CUES
TTON

Dear Mr.. Editor:-Your answer to
"A Layman on Holiness" as proposed
by the gentleman at Ashburn, Ca,
Mr.. A. B. Bell, is before the public
and is unsatisfactory to some, as
there are two sides to all issues. I
ask that both sides have a ventila-
ton, more especially as you are fair
enough to give all an equal show
This is noble. Your answer to the
"Layman' was masterpiece in sup
port of the anti-holiness idea of the
question. But as this is "ticklish
subject" and has to do with the Holy
Bible. we would not dare to give our
own views on same, because no ones
opinion on this mOmentous theme is
worth anything at all, neither mine,
yours, nor any other mortal'sI would
first cite Mr., Bell to some facts on
record. Every one familiar with the
history Of the Popes of Rome can lay
at their door the very first PROPOSE
ton that Christians are sinners.
When Catholicism instituted the
confessional in order that money
might flow into the Golfers of the
hierarchy, then it was that men first
learned that none were to be esteem
Gu DIS SalnJS, or none were molly, oX-
cept the Pope and the priest-all
others were vile sinners, and must go
to confession" as oft as they could
raise the cash to pay for the prayers
offered by the holy father" This,
Mr.. B., is where the idea originated
that all men mustsin and confess eter-
nally, together with other pernicious
and inconsistent doctrines. These
errors, of course, were brought out
from the old mother Catholic by Sc
ceders, and have been handed down
the ages by Protestants (of which, no
doubt, Mr. Watson will treat in his
Magazine this year,. When error has
taken root, it takes ages to destroy
it. Thus we find Calvinists of all
Christendom still propagating that
old doctrine instigated by the Popes
of Rome. But turn to the law book,
as Mr. Watson would in a civil court.
1t is not whether men or devils,
saints or sinners, ever lived a life of
holiness, but what says the book?
The evidence, briefly: Enoch walked
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-17

with God three hundred years, and
God took him because he was so
holy. Elijah was carried in whirl-
wind of fire because he was so holy.
God met the Devil and asked if he
knew Job to be perfect and upright
man, and who did not sin? God met
Abraham and said, 'be thou perfect"
They were both holy men. Moses was
SO holy that God allowed him to even
look upon His back on Mount Sinai
and had many conversations with
him, and afterwards took him to
Heaven alive. Christians were called
saints ali through the New Tesla
ment, Mr. Watson to the contrary,
however. Christ said, BE we holy,
for am holy. He preached Of
righteousness (holiness) from start
to finish He came to condemn sin
in the flesh" 1t means, here ON
earth, Mr.. B. The Apostle Luke says
that Christians are to serve Him in
holiness all the days of our lives. .
Paul says that saints are to serve
Him in the spirit of holiness, in the
fear of the Lord" and to partake of
His holiness. In many places Paul
said, Salute the holy BRETHREN"
(not holy gods), and that they should
life up holy hands, and that "Bish-
ops must be holy people Peter
said be holy in conversation" and
that women must be holy" John
said that only the holy can have part
in the first resurrection, that he
who commits sin is of the Devil, and
that she who is born of God does not
commit sin" Paul said, Without
holiness no man can see the Lord.
My brother, do you think holiness a
prerequisite? The book says so, you
see. Christ and all the apostles
taught that sanctifcation was a
spirits work of grace. See Acts 2,
Acts 10, Acts TO- etc, etc. Now, the
half is not told I would ask Brother
B. and Brother T. E. w. to search the
old book more closely.
