the days when Baptist churches dis

church and the world were not SO
nearly united as now. among Baptist
it is like raising a red flag to talk of
a union between church and state, and
rightly SO; but close alliance and
close affiliation of the church and
the world creates but little adverse
comment now.
In those days two of our big prom
inent citizens and men of wealth, mem
bers, were cited for discipline for
taking a part in hands sound at twis-
tification at private home-Mr. j. A.
Kindrick and S. K. Taylor-the latter
deacon; they apologized like good
brethren, and the matter went smooth
ly on. Hornady and Cooper had 40
tolerance for mixing the church and
the world together.
That was in the days before the
modern church demoralizing German

ing for prizes or winners, became in
vogue. and set forth so wildly in the
society columns of the morning pap
