THE JEFFER SON1AN

You say that the methods en-
ployed may not be the best, either
for raising the money, Or for expend-
ing it. Hence the suggestion as to
raising it. AS to the expending part,
you doubtless need no suggestions
from a friend. Farther on you say
the methods as we'll as the debts are
of your own creation. We thought
so. And then you say these obi
cations must be paid We like men
who pay their debts, we'd pay, were
we you.
Friends, the common people have
been led too long by the men higher
up in the churches, as we'll as in
what is called politics. Wake up
and speak out.
The people of whom we have been
speaking are heading towards Rome,
trying to carry you with them, and
Rome is He'll.

ANOTHER MAKES ACQUAINT-
ANCE OF THE JEFF.

Dear Sir: A friend of mine gave
me two or three copies of your JEFF
fersonian which | read with interest.
| want to say that it is certainly the
liveliest hot wire I have met with in
many days. I thought the Appeal to
Reason was a hot one, especially when
it tackles the Roman Catholic toe
kissers, but you certainly lead when
it comes to showing up the secrecy
Of the libertine priesthood. The
only fault l find with your publica-
tons is, I am not able to subscribe
for them. I am SO years old, Grip
pied, with mortgage on my little
shack that certainly holds it down
alright. l was born December 2,
1880, i'll log cabin at the foot OF
Cumberland Mountain, about one
and one-half miles north of Jasper
County, as the crow flies. Have you
eyer seen the oath every Catholic
takes when he joins the church? It
is horrible. Lest / weary you I will
close by wishing you good health,
long life and perfect happiness.
Respectfully,
AMOS L. GRIFFITH.

there is crown laid up for you in
the world to come. Brother, while [
love you | have not a blind love, I
think l see some mistakes you make,
Twill name one. Your zeal for your
convictions are so great that you
heap abusive epithets on your oppo-
nents, this makes you enemies of
some when OthersWise they would

your rankest enemies who has re-

per say you are indeed a great man,
but for this fault he you'd like you,

same expression. Your writings
would have better effect if you
would simply point out the errors of
your opponents without abuse [
heard one of your old friends say in
your reply to Cardinal Gibbons SER
mon you unfavOrably criticised the
marvellous conception of Christ, and
another said you denied the existence
of hell There was some express

women of the race are identified with
the movement and are enthusiastic
over the new awakening that is being
manifested in the affairs Of Africa.
The tenth anniversary of the organ
ization was celebrated with public
meeting. which was held at Rush Me-
moria A. NJ f. Zion church. A his
torical review of the organization
