PREDESTINATIoN TRUE.
Question Causes Trouble in Ranks OF
Baptists in Virginia.

Freezing, Va, Jan. 29.-There is
"holy warfare" being waged between
the two factions of the mountain
Baptists of this section. Be 1t re-
memhered that some years ago there
arose difference in the ranks Of the
regular Primitive Baptist church over
the question Of predestlnatlon
one wing believing that man
can do nothing to affect his
own salvation; that is wholly mat
ter of greace (favor) from the Creator
the other that man can and must do
something in order to be saved.
The predestinarians were in the as
cendancy in the annual ASSOCIATION
of the year when the wrangle had
reached the stage for the CRISIS, ana
so strong was the opposition of the
"antis" to the church doctrine that
they withdrew and organized them
selves into nav church. dropping
the term Regular, and calling them
selves primitive Baptists."
After the division of the old and the
organization of the new church, and
by way of reproach the old church
people referred to the others as soft
Shells" and to even up scores the
term "hard shell" was flung back at
them by the new church people. And
by these names they are still distln-
guished.
Through the fifteen years Of their.
separate existence the prejudice en-
gendered by the wrangle has become
more and more intensified.T They Willy
each other in terms that might wei! be
SHARED before respectable audiences.
The supreme effort in the sermons
Of each seems to be to prove that the
other is wrong. The clergy of the OPP
posing factions will not hear each
other "hold FORTH" and it is seldom
that the laity will attend each others
"meetin's."
Alterations between lay members
have recently been known to be only
narrowly avarted. Strictly speaking
to an outsider it looks as if the prime
object OF each church is to expose
each other, rather than to labor in the
salvation of souls.
One almost believes that among the
members one of the implied t2nets is
thate. if need be, heads must be brok-
en- for the doctrine" Of the church.

been injected into the aspirations OF
J. d. EggIeston, former sup@rinten-
dent of Public Instruction, for presI-
dent Of the Virginia Polytechnic lnstl-
tute, since his appointment in the
United States Bureau OF Education,
will meet a counter check in this city
Saturday, February /, when 1t is eX-
pected that representatives OF the
alumni association of the institution
from all parts of the country will be
mere to protest against Mr.. Eggles-
ton.
A meeting has been called by A. I,
Eskridge, Jr., president Of the Gener-
al Alumni Association upon authority
Of the Executive Committee and at
the request Of the Roaonke alumni.
Vigorous opposition to Mr.EgSleston
developed among the alumni Of Roam
olze when his name was first mention
ed in connection with the presidency
OF V. P. l. When he received his ap-
pointment under United States Blu
reau of Education, it was thought that
the chances for the V. p. I. presi-
dency were at an end. Later the an
nouncement that his appointment was
but temporary. served to renew the eff
fort being made in his behalf.
Representatives from all of the
alumni associations will be asked to
attend the meeting on Saturday and
there is no uncertainty but that res
buttons in opposition to Mr.. Egges-
ten will be placed before the meeting
for adoption.
