repeated verbatim, la parrot, to his
congregation on the Sunday night in
particular, expecting his congregation
TO swallow it whole, without com
ment. One of the members who was
listening to the sermon states that
DR., HoDson failed to show up the
. fallacy. The truth of the matter is.
that DR.. Hobson knows what is right
IN regard to Roman Catholicism and
what the Southern Baptist Conyen-
ton said in regard to the political
activity of the Roman Catholic insti-
tutions, but he is trying to keep from
dividing his church, which is already
split into factions, one for his re-
moval and one for his retention
Last Sunday night, while patriotic
members of the church were attend
ing Billy Parker's lecture, DR.. Hob
son and w. G. Jones (Jones Furni-
lure Company passed resolutions
that Billy Parker not be invited to
speak in their handsome church.
There is a motion on foot now. by
the members of that church, to make
a handsome gift to Billy Parker and
MS family to enjoy on THANKSGIVING
Day. The Union congregational
Church and the First Presbyterian
Church have neither come out fear
Iessly on the question of Roman
catholicism. They are both rich
churches, but have lost their Protest.

DIR. Martin Most Popular Pastor.
During the campaign, Dr.. Martin
opened his large downtown church
to the crowds at time when It was
most needed. The small suburban
churches were too small to hold the
crowds, so, in order that the move
ment be a success, DR.. Martin opened
his church, after comforting with
many of the best workers in his
church. During the last two meet
ings the church has been filled to
overlooking, and last night an over
flow meeting had to be held in the
First Methodist Church, where the
people waited one hour and fifteen
minutes to hear Billy Parker, no
one leaving. Every night now Billy
Parker has way over 1900 people,
and perhaps quite as many turned
away.
Priests and Nuns Exposed.
Billy Parker announced that dur
ing his stay he expected to do a
little detective work, and on Tues
day night of last week, in the First
Christian Church, he made a star
Ting announcement He held in his
hand an affidavit Of a certain mar
red woman in our city, who had
heen kidnapped by the Roman Cath
ohcs and shipped to Peeksyille, N. Y.
Priests on the Run.
On the afternoon OF the day that
this affidavit was read, Father Ma
bar the local priest, boarded a train
for ST. Augustine for a conference
with Bishop Curley. Registered let
ters we're sent by Billy Parker to
Bishop Curley and Father Mahar and
the return receipts received. The
letters had therein a challenge. in
wiling those men to be present on
wy F'dCLOl III oitu ueny duN state
ments that he might make that were
not true in regard to the Grimes of
the Popes."
On the evening these two Roman
Catholics were expected to be pres
ent, Father Connolly, one of the To-
cal priests, was standing back in the
crowd listening to Mr. Parker speak.
Someone sent note to Billy Parker
While he was speaking, announcing
the distinguished gentleman's pres
ence. AS soon as Mr.. Parker read
the note, he said: is Father Con-
nelly within hearing of my voice?
If so, let him come forward and take
a seat on the platform" Like
snort from a gun Father Connolly
disappeared into the darkness.
