August A. ID. 1919.
In the name of justice we hereby
make mention of a few of the facts
leading to such action. Fully realiz-
ing that the BY Laws which have been
in force for many years in the above
named Association have been changed
to crafty the hostile wishes of GER
tain pastors, officers, and laymen OF
said Association, and fully realizing
the hostile attitude of the credential
committee which under the change of
the bylaws was chosen for no other
purpose than to crafty the wishes of
certain ones heretofore referred to,
we hereby take this step after very
careful consideration. Certain pas
tors and officers of said Association
met together without the authority
or knowledge of the churches of the
association and prepared and pub
lished in the Knox County papers and
the Journal and Messenger state
ments concerning Rev. H. L. Chaplin
which we're slanderous and false. The
Fredercktown Baptist church endeav-
ored to get the facts before the
churches of the Association by issuing
invitations to the respective churches
of the Association to sit together in
council with the Fredericktown church,
but this call was flatly turned down.
Therefore, believing we have done all
in our power and fulfilled the require
ments of the Scriptures, We hereby
sever completely all former relations
with the Mt. Vernon Baptist Associa.
