attitude toward Pastor Russells pub
LEGATIONS and the noble stand you have
taken in the interest of religious lib
erty and freedom guaranteed to all
who claim protection of the flag VIC
all love.
cannot refrain from giving express
sion 10 my feelings in this matter,
especially so when I observe that the
general tendency of the day points
favOr8bly toward the muzzling of the
press and the earnest effort by many
To exclude from their columns items
that are not only interesting but also
helpful ia the moral tplift of our com
munity. / can fully coincide with your
views on the maintenance Of tho
"OPEN DOOR" as well as your def
ancc of any clergymcn or ministerial
union who are desirous of closing the
same. THAT kind Of work might have
met with success several hundred
years ago but, thank God. the dark
ages are now nothing more than a
try still having at its command men
like yourself who are disposed TO
give every man a fair and equal
chance to spread the gospel of the
kingdom (according to his religious
cOnvictiOnsl, We may still hope to en-
joy the light Of the Lords word

put out.
understand there are quite a num-
Der Of people who take pleasure in
reading Pastor Russells publications.
and while | do not know very many OF
them personally. nevertheless. those
whom ! have met in this city give
every evidence of trying to live a true,
consistent and conscientious Chris
tian life. This, however, is no reficc-
tion upon many of my friends who
hold other religious convictions, but
] am frank TO admit that any one
who comes in contact with the eXposi-
tion OF the Bible in the light Of Pas
ftor Russells teachings will soon find
himself trying TO emulate the glorious
character of the humble Nazarene,
and at the same time have unfolded
to him the wonderful char lcter of the
God we all worship and aoore.
hope YOU shall contihue to fear
lessly fight those who give every evil
dence of hating the light, and as a
citizen of the United States you may
be used as an instrument in ths
hand Of divine Providence to preserve
the independence of the laud Of IRE

orally assailed by DR.. Cooke and many

California reports some very interest

five months ending October 81. In that

seven times as many Ford cars were sold

Monday that it was thought Richard
would recover. There seems to be no

Grant boxed several days with

GRANT will be getting the hardest

the ring with the crack fastener.
Grant has many friends in Atlanta
who are going to back him TO the

stating that Eggers is showing more

that Eggers' great experience will

The confidence that both camps are
