ment of the Baptists are not modern, or
medieval. They can be traced back, as far as
anything Christian, can be traced.
We don't have to rely on human tradition,
vague legend, or forged decretals. We don't
have to interpolate profane writing, nor in
vent sacred" ones Our witnesses are the
lmperlshable marble and brass-the antique
coin, the antique medal, the antique entabla-
ture, the antique baptismal font, all of which
carry us back to the first few centuries after
Christ
Are you, Messrs. Editors, not aware of this?
Are you unacquainted with the glorious rec
ord of our church? Have your very souls
never throbbed and thrilled as you read the
story of Lollard fortitude and Waldensian
suffering? Is there anywhere in the annals of
mankind an example Of sublimer constancy
to principle at a crueller sacrifice to the faith
full?
Could kings ever break the Baptist spirit?
Could Popes ever bend the Baptist neck?
Never. The burning stake was tried in vain.
The rack and the wheel were tried in vain.
Fire and sword were tried in vain,
Such was our history, centuries before
Luther became Protestant. From time to
time, we will publish sketches from the rec
ord In order that we may all refresh our mem
ores to the record of the Baptists-not that
we would detract one iota from the fame and
we would like to have our own better under

GENTLEMEN:

- In your issue of August oath, 1911, you
stated that the Protestants alone are main
tanning 10000 schools in the East, educating
100000 heather children.
Did you include the Baptists under the gen
eral head of Protestants? IF not, why did
you fail to state how many schools the Bap-
lists are supporting in China, JAPAN India
and Korea?
If you did mean to include the Baptists m-
der the head of Protestants, what was your
reason for SO doing?
You are conducting an official organ of the
Southern Baptist Convention. You are sup
posed to be capable of doing So 1t is pre-
sumed that you are familiar with Baptist
history. But, are yow?
Historically speaking, the heroic protest
of Martin Luther is not much more ancient
than the heroic protest of John Wesley. Both
are modern.
But the peculiar rites and church-goyern-

No witness impeached. or contradicted Sc
nor Don Calderan. Many witnesses corrob-
GRATED his story Bear it we'll in mind and
tell me what you think of Mr.. Tafts COM
ment upon it in his separate report to Pres-
dent Mckinley.
Page 2S of that report:
ut has been frequently charged that there
was much immortality among the friars, and
that to this is due the popular hostility
against them. The friar witnesses denied the
charges of general immortality, admitting only
isolated cases which they said we're promptly
disciplined. The evidence on this point, to
the contrary, however, was so strong that it
seems to clearly establish that there we're
enough instances in each province to give
considerable ground for the general report.
1t IS not strange that 1t should haze been s0."
Then Mr.. Taft adopts the Jesuitical plea Of
the bishop of Jaro-that few young Span
lards sent out as priests and sorely tempted
by the Filipino women, went astray. (The
woman pays, you see.)
Then detracking the hideous immoralities
of these Spanish friars, Mr.. Taft proceeds to
say
"But while the charges have considerable
truth in them, another fact clearly appeared
which makes such immortality as there was,
largely irrelevant to the issue we are consid-
ering."
Anything to spare the Popes sensibilities.
and to keep the world from suspecting the
existence of the horrors revealed by the full
record!
