rs THIS THE WAY TO TREAT OUR
HOME PREACHERS?

Dear Sir: I am a subscriber to
your paper, and love to read it. [
am one of the poorest of Baptist
preachers. [ served five churches
last year, went to all of those
churches once a month, also worked
on the farm to try to make a living
for my family and to try to pay for
my home. I lost so much time 60
ing to my churches I failed to make
enough to live on and did not have
anything to pay on my home. I had
gotten some of the brethren to make
a note with me, thirty Of them made
a note with me for $500, and the I'M
derstanding was that if I failed, they
were to pay $40 each and it would
not be hard on any of them. [ hon
estly failed and they had the note
to pay. | could not help myself, and
most of them are hurt at me be-
cause Of this note. Does it not seem
that churches ought to pay their
pastor enough to live on? Some say,
and you may say, why don't you
quit? If I could | would, but woe
unto me if l preach not the gospel.
Can man quit the work that God
wants him to do and be satisfied?
=
I must. [ am writing to you because
I feel like that the Lord would help
you to say something in your paper
that will be Of help, not just for my
benefit, for l am not by myself, there
are other preachers that are in bad
circumstances and we can not get
credit because we can not pay our
debts. I have tried to be honest, but

ing to live on and churches asking
for my resignation because [ could
not pay the note. I liked the piece
I read in your paper about the home
preacher and his wife, the pack
horses of the Foreign Mission Arts
tOcracy. You sure can tell the truth,
and l love the truth. Keep on in the
good work you are doing and may
the blessings of God rest upon you.

A WARM GREETING FROM SOUTH
CAROLINA.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I am enclos-
ing a poem written by myself, en-
titled "a Version Of Creeds." If you
think it worthy Of publication, and
you can find room for it, you may
publish it. I shall expect no COM
pensation for it. In fact, I am glad
to contribute what | can to help
your invaluable paper in it's fight
against false religion of any or every
form.
Mr. Watson, / have read your
books and also your papers for seve-
raj years, and believe your mission
is divine. Many times I have uttered
silent prayers that your hand may
never be weakened in it's fight. You
have place in thousands of hearts
and contrary to your belief there are
thousands who believe thoroughly in
the principles you are fighting for.
Though I've never seen you, I'm a
college graduate in full possession of
my senses. I am, with best wishes,
Yours truly,
r, n. ALLEN.

A NEW SUGGESTION FROM ONE
OF THE POOR. MEN OF THE
COUNTRY.
South Carolina.

Dear Mr.. Watson: I have been
thinking of a matter to write you,
but am such poor scholar I have
not made the attempt. You have
battled SO long for the peoples
rights it seems to me the people
ought TO come to your rescue. The
plan is this. Let every county in
every State get together and buy
space in every local paper in every
town and put such news as is good
for the people in once a week, or two
weeks, OR once month; if nothing
else reproduce good pieces from your
paper. Each community could have
committee Of 3 or 5 to select news
for each issue, we have the leader in
you and life is too short to sit down
and holler hurrah. You will not be
here always to look to. I am
poor man working for a salary to
support my family, and if such a
move was started this might be the
last to get in line, but it seems to me
that there might be lots Of good done
this way. There are enough people
in every county if their hearts are
in the work as mine is to make an
effort at least in this way. So many

the vital question that all ought to
be concerned in. Every fair man
ought to want the truth, and no man
can get the truth that does not read
both sides. I will promise to do all
in my power to help start such
move here if the people will take
hold of it. Now friends let's give
this matter serious thought and don't
be too close listed to spend something
to help Mr.. Watson to scatter good
seed that will bring forth fruit
an hundred fold. Don't let
criticism scare you off, let every
body know you are for the right. We
only want what is right, good and
pure. Let's spend some of the mon
ey we throw away helping to en-
tighten our friends and try to get
rid of prejudice among our neigh
bors and friends and all get posted
as to what is best for US in ali things.
Yours truly
M. G. KINNEY.

HE IS UNEDUCATED, BUT HE
THINKS, AND HIS HEART IS
IN THE RIGHT PLACE.

Dear Mr.. Watson: Being unedu-
Gated keeps many of your friends
from writing you their appreciation
of the great work you are engaged
in. Realizing your ability to handle
the great measures that effect the
common people, l believe it to be the
duty of eyry sound thinking man to
add stitch to the work.
By dropping thought on small
things the common people are armed
with just cause and we know that
you are the one to boldly plead the
cause Of freedom. A great number
of our privileges are sold like cattle
in the markets. Must we lay tamely
at their feet and lick the hands that
beat US, while they sit at ease in gay

Wrest the little from us which might
have cheered the Wintry age. They
forever ask more money, we toll and

Where is the benefit? What good
reap we? We pay. They profit at
