The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1910-02-03
A Malingey . of Missions

Mr.. Tom Watson continues his diatribe against
missionary work, in his Jeffersonian Magazine.
Not satisfied with his quixotic assault mis-
sons he attempts to attack the character of the
missionaries When considering the anmus of
this man, it is we'll to remember that dear
Uncle Tom is dscredited and discarded poll
tician, and as such is naturally "agn the Govern
ment."
Uncle Tom has come about as near hitting the
truth on the Mission question he did in
ing his Populist paper The Jeffersonian Uncle
Tom is about the only we know who takes
Mr.. Tom Watson seriously. We strongly in
clined to look upon Mr. Watsons missionary de-
liverance as we have always looked upon the
and his Magazine huge joke. Mr. Watson is
himself the best argument for the necessity of

What's "Malinger"? [ suppose that Rev.
j. W. Porter, DID. meant to call me Ma
hgner.
Why is it that so many Christian ministers
become arrogant, intoerant and bitterly abu
slve, as they become DDS?
when considering the animus of this
man lis nice style of brotherly reference
to me, isn't it? Do you reckon that the
they embrace the faith of Rev. J. w. Por-
ter, ID?
"A discredited and discarded politician
Well even if that statement be true, how does
1t Justify such mOnstrous mission methods as
the buying up Of little negro orphans "aU
0rer 4frlca"? In this country, we could get
all the orphans that we could support and
educate, without having to buy them.
What statement made by me is untrue?
The DR.. Porters, the DR.. Lovetts, and the
Bell and Grahams do not dare to come into
our columns, and attempt to refute me- Nor
do they dare to let me come into their col
umns to answer their attacks on me.
The JEFFERsONIAN is well-named The pa
per advocates the very principles of the Sage
of Monticello and if those principles are
synonymous with Populism, it isn't nv fault
Even on the subject of Foreign Missions we
stand exactly where Jefferson stood
But of course, such man as the Rev. J. w.
Porter, DID,, could not be expected to know
things of that kind
The Rev. j. w. Porter DID,, asserts that [
am "about the only man who takes Mr. Tom
Watson seriously. Well, don't know about
that. Really, / don't. Some of the Foreign Mis-
slonaries, and some of the DDS, are making
noises that don't sound very much like rip
pies Of sweet, merry, melodious laughter =
and as to the near-editors of some of the
mossback sectarian papers, they have been
brought to a state of mind tending toward
frenzy. They don't dare let my facts be

AFRAID to comply with the zaao, as to cutting
off eapl7ed subscriptions; and they are hav-
ing rocky time generally.
1t is positively asserted by the Rev. j. W.
Porter, DID,, that he has Railways looked
upon the man and his Magazine" CHATS me
and the Jeff cas- joke'
Which is a statement that everybody be-
lieved, the moment it was made by the Rev
J. w. Porter, ID.
