What's the eloquence of Brother Len
Broughton amounting to when his beautiful
first assistant deliberately turns his back upon
the heather, and filings his 1925 to mere Jew
elers?
What are William I. Ellis and Dear Doc
tor Lovejoy to think of this kind of thing!
Are not you and [ scored and scathed and
blasted and tongue-lashed, because ne spend
our lush on chewing gum, theatres, moving
pictures and liquid beverages Of sundry
degrees Of virtue?
We shore are.
Dear Doctor Lovett, particularly, gives US
Jesse, because We waste on near-beer and
SIGH, the money that ought to 90 to make
slant-eyed angels out of Japs and Chinlzs. and
SIGH.
And yet, here we have Brother Broughton's
seraphlc assistant squandering 1925 on a
precious stone, leaving precious heather souls
to continue their journey hellWard.
No wonder we Baptists and Missionaries are
scandalized. I'm not sure that we will feel
satisfied until Brother Ham offers up that
diamond as willing sacrifice to the saving
of the souls of the perishing heather.
But let me get back to my story:
The jewellers trusted Brother Ham for the
remaining 500 due on the ring, he having
assured them that he would pay it soon.
Alas How prone we are to miscalculate
as to what we can d. and wish to do after
we've got the goods.
The word ''soon," as literally construed by
Brother Ham was entirely too flexible. elastic
latitudinarian and dimIy indefinite to suit
those jewellers.
it in their business. How could they keep
their trap baited without funds to buy bait?
So they went after our Brother Ham and
the diamond, with Bail Trover suit-under
which our Brother was arrested.
This is a cold, cold world. but we can fire.
quently give bond, as / myself can testify
After our Brother had given bond. he left
the State of Georgia, presumably on evangel-
zeal work, III other weedy plots of the moral
vineyard
1t would seem that while our Brother was
away his bondsnan became unhappy. The
idea of having to pay for another mans dia-
mond ring, is not one that is conducive to good
digestion and sound sleep.
The more this bondsman thought of having
to pay the balance due on the diamond ring
of our Brother Ham, the less comfort he got
out Of the situation
Therefore, when Brother Ham came back
to Atlanta, to again assist Brother Brough-
COIl, M1O l4dIl also COllI6 DdCh,J lIl0 unhappy
bondsmen had our Brother nabbed.
80, the times! o, the cust0msF
Yes our Brother was nabbed-pinched, you
might say
To relieve himself, and u.s. in this Distress
ingly crucial crisis, our Brother gave the Off
GER of the law an order on our Brother Eaton
for $780,
But, as our i'll luck would have it, Brother
Eaton refused to cash the order Said he did
not owe Brother Ham anything at all.
Whereupon, the incensed Law gets after

Brother HAM, Brother Brought0n
and the Diamond Ring: We
BaptiSsS and Missionaries
Are ScandaEiZed and
PeStePGd.

JUST to think, that we had hardly got
y Brother Len Broughton back from Eng
land, before we had to hang our heads,
because of the doings of Brother Ham.
IN fact, we had not ceased to chorle and
exNlt over the cartoons in the daily papers,
wherein Brother Len Broughton was pictured
as chasing The Devil out Of Atlanta when,
bless goodness! here comes The Devil achas-
ing Of Brother Ham.
/ declare, it is plumb ridiculous.
This is the story, as it appears in the daily
papers:
Brother Broughton, during his first ponti-
fcate at the Baptist Tabernacle, in Atlanta,
had seraphlc-looklng assistant, named Ham.
AS pictured in the papers, Brother Ham is a
beautiful man. This is not his fault: he was
born that way. His brows are high his fore
head lofty; his nose arch-bridged; his mouth
winsome; his cheeks smooth; his hair, the
lustre Of the ravens wing.
La What favorite he must have been
among the Sisteern, to be sure!
IN a preacher SO youthful, so elegantly
dressed, and SO beautiful withal, little
human vanity was to be expected and
excused.
4 little was expected, a0as discovered, and
was excused.
So far, so good.
But as Brother Ham looked complacently
upon those clean, shapely, tapering fingers of
his, it flashed upon his mind that d50n103ld
ring would marVellously become his general
get up-his t00t Ong S0n365e, as the French
would say.
Brother Ham is yet young man: he has
much to learn and to forget.
Last year, be was still younger, and had
even more to learn-and he went to the right
place to learn it.
To obi 1ooa+I,v7 r+or77 PrOtI,oy
Ham went to place where they try to exc
out an honest living by selling jewelry to peo-
pie who have more money than sense.
ut this place, Brother Ham selected dia-
mond ring which was priced to him at 1926.
AS [ have told you, already. Brother Ham
is even now a youthful individual: last year,
when this vanity of his led him into the dia-
mond trade, he was still younger
There $50 far as | know-not0a single
reason why Brother Ham should have agreed
to pay 1926 for that one ring. He might
SO far as [ know--have acquired the Jewel for
N$25.
However, Brother Ham agreed to pay 1926
for the ring, and he Immediately p1anked
down 1926.
The indulgent and confding jewelers.
allowed the delighted young preacher to take
the diamond away, relying upon his word for
the other 500.
Therefore, our Methodist Brother Glenn
Carey, must take back what he said about the
preachers of Atlanta h0Uimg no credit.
Some years ago, Brother Glen declared,
publicly, that the Atlanta preachers didn't
have any credit.
I thought at the time that Brother Carey
was talking too fast, and now know it,
When it comes to buying diamonds, it seems
that one of said preachers-and he a mere
beardless boy, as you might say-had credit
enough to almost create statewide sensa-
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1913-03-20

But the beastly newspapers got hold Of
these facts, and great was the hub-bub that
ensued.
Our Brother Ham felt that he must make
"a public statement. He made it. He made it
at our Tabernacle. 1t seems that anv old
statement goes, at our Tabernacle. II this

brother Hams statement at our Tabernacle
IS hard to boil down, any further than he and
Brother Broughton boiled it.
As boiled down by our two beloved and
embarrassed Brothers. the Ham statement is
that the powers of eyiI' have been having

vice resorts IN Atlanta, year or so ago.
These powers of evil are not accused.
however, OF having eXerted any influence over
our Brother In the purchase of that diamond
ring.
Brother Ham says that he would have )
l!quldated the balance due the jewellers. but
that he had several doctors bills to paw.
while chasing The Devil in other States.
Cur Brother fails to explain why he left
MS bondsman III such a perturbed state of
mind, when the deposit Of the diamond, in the
hands OF said bondsman, would have restored
his tranquility and confidence
The newspaper report adds:
Continuing, Mr.. Ham said:
This matter would have been closed some rin,o
ago, but for the fact of three doctors bills in
another State, which financially embarrassed me-
