States do mission work, many Of our
association do aSSOciatiOnaI mission
work, many of our city churches do
city mission work, what our Home
Nilsson Board is doing for the for
eigner in our home land, the Indian,
the negro, and for our boys and girls
in our Home Mission schools, our
sanitaria, a noble instant of which
is the Baptist Memorial Sanitarium at
Dallas, this state, for all Of which
immense amounts of money are spent
by our people? 1t seems to me that
when these things are taken into con-
sideration, your objection to our for
eign mission work is not we'll found
ed
Now supposing that your objections
are we'll founded, what system of do
ing foreign work would you suggest?
You no doubt remember that when
Judson inaugurated the present sys-
tenn, it was stoutly opposed by Alex
ander Campbell, John Taylor and
Daniel Parker; but so far as I know,
they neither, nor all Of them, Of
fered tangible or Practical system
by which the work could be carried
on; so the old system is still used.
Now this is all written in a frater-
nal spirit, and is not intended to be
antagonistic, neither is it my desire
to have it printed; but we all want to
arrive at the truth, and not be found
opposing the Lords work. I wanted
to offer what little encouragement
I could to you in your noble fight
against the Catholics and Trusts and
other corruptions in the government.
Your attitude along these lines is to
be commended, for you, without fear
or hesitancy, openly expose and OPP
pose these things, thus informing the
people of them. Yours fraternal1y,

Dear Sir: Both your publications

ton, and pleasure to me, and I con-
slider your articles on the Roman
Hierarchy the greatest step that has
been taken to safeguard the free in
situations that we now enjoy. | have
been somewhat surprised that the

of this lone champion of the Roman

A "HEARTENING" LETTER.

Dear Sir: In reading your Jeffer-
sonian dated Nov. 18th, I read with
amazement the piece headed: 'Is a
Conspiracy Possible?" Meaning that
some one is trying to put you out of
business. [ will say, that will never
happen. Of course, you, like all
men that prosper and try to do the
honorable thing, arouse envy and
jealousy with those who fail; and L
suppose every county and communi-
ty in the United States have such
men. Every man who claims to be
made after the image Of God doesn't
know what it takes to make a man,
the kind of man that really is a man;
they are simply manlike, like a man
in form, but not manful, bold, brave,
resOlute, noble and possessing every
quality of true manhood, setting
forth before the world the nobility
of noble manhood possessing emf
inence, dignity, exalted rank. You
can expect to be envied by those who
are not possessed of such noble quail
tieS-Whom soever is trying to put
you out of business by trying to stop
the delivery of your magazin and pa
pers will surely have hard job; for
you have the postal authorities at
Washington to appeal to, and remem-
Der you have a following of $4,000
manly men to appeal to in the State
Of Georgia, and multiple of thous-
ands scatt red over these United
States, standing ready to aid you in
every effort to enlighten the great
masses on all domestic subjects, as
well as foreign.
Those who are trying to boycott
your business had just as we'll call
a halt, for when it comes to dollars
and cents, your thousands and thous-
ands of friends, will respond to your
beck and call. May God be with you,
and prolong your life for the great

A LETTER FROM A BAPTIST
PREACHER.

Dear Brother: l write to say that
L consider that you are rendering this
country a. valuable service in giving
the people eye-opening facts as to
the sneaking, devlish practices Of the
Roman Catholic Church. Personally
I believe they would fling this Com
mOnWealth back into a condition like
the Dark Ages were it for a moment
in their power to do SO; and every
American citizen needs to keep his
eyes open along this line AS for me,
I have already determined to never
vote for any man, for President nor
dog peter who has shown himself
at any time unduly favorable toward
the Catholics. And | do not consider
this as mixing the affairs of State
and Church, either, but a jealous
guarding of our civil and religious
liberty, for should these priceless
privileges be entrusted for a moment
to such tyranical power as the Roman
Hierarchy who would not tremble for
the result? Their history in the past,
written in martyrs blood seems to me
to justify such apprehensions. Go
on, then, in your praiseworthy work
of opening the peoples eyes
/ cannot agree with you, however,
in your attitude toward Foreign Mis-
sions, as I do not think you give our
people sufficient credit for what they
are doing at home as compared with
what they are doing abroad. I mean
this: you base your objection largely
on the fact, as you claim, that we II
am speaking of Southern Baptists, as
I belong to them, and know more
about them than anyone else) are do
ing so much more for the heather
than we are doing for our own peo-
pie. Now according to reports we
arespending about $25 at home
where we spend $1.00 on the foreign
field. Have you taken into consider
alton, the fact that all our Southern

PRISONS CAN GIVE SOME INTER
ESTING STATISTICS OF THEIR
INMATES.
INMATES,

Dear Editor: If you want a
'knocker" chapter On Catholics, just
write an inquiry to 25 or more state
prisons, and large city reformato-
rles, and ask the wardens to tell you
the number of prisoners in their
charge, belonging to the various
churches, and if reports are true, they
will tell you that rs per cent are
Catholics. Which proves that the
teachings of their boasted Catholic
Church tends to make criminals; and
that is from this one fact: THE sell
ing of indulgences by the priests"
Why can not man or woman do any
wrong they please, even to kill
ing heretics, if they can be forgiven
by their priests? Great scheme is it
not?
No wonder that the great Popes
put out that murderous oath you
gave us to read in last weeks Jeffer-
sonian.
Do not use my name with this in
print; as these devils would burn my
home and murder my wife and I. if
they saw that I told these facts.
Yours truly, MINNEAPOLIS MAN.
P. S. OF course, we are afraid to
tell these things to the public, be-
cause part of the public is Catho-
lies. Years ago we were afraid of
the Indians and did not want to as
sociate with them. These Catholics
are cunning as the Indians used to
be. They keep their church people
together because they forbid them
to read any other Bible or Books
but those put out by Catholics. How
can the poor dupes be anything but
Catholics; but let them start war,
and there would be no Catholics left
in America.

them. My wife secured about forty
subscribers for you last summer, and
these to my personal knowledge have
spread to at least two hundred people.
Very few people in this country,
and especially the large cities, sub
scribe for magazines. They buy from
the news stands. Therefore, your on
ly hope up here is to conquer the
news stands. And I am ready to do
all in my power to assist you, for T
love your work. You breathed into
me the breath of life. When a poor
lad on the farm, l used to carry a
copy of the Peoples Party Paper
with me and read it while resting my
team. Those were glorious days for
me. [ hailed you as leader and
verify expected to see you in the
White House. Your writings then and
after gave me life and led me to be
fearless and independent thinker.
told Mr.. Nice that your magazine
was a good seller and that he owed
it to the public to carry it. You see
the stands here in Chicago handle all
their stuff on the return basis. No
sales, no pay-matter returned. Your
magazine would soon find thousands
OF readers and bring the news COM
pany handsome returns. Mr. Nice
promised me that he would look into
the matter, that he was going to New
York next week and he would take
the matter up with the people there.
SO think by using little patience,
we can get him to come across and
take on your publications.
