THE eBEFFERSONIAN

Mr.. Watson is telling the truth on
them than either Mr.. v atson or the
Telegraph. For, in the first of his
articles, he assures you that he will
not take issues with you, and it is
doubly sure he will not with Mr..
Watson. The truth about the mat
ter is simply this: Catholics do not
want issues with anyone. They very
OF; that is their style.
The same catholic Layman"
seems to think that Mr.. Watson is
crazy, but it is known fact that
Mr.. Watson is making a good many
Catholics as crazy as he is. And his
article plainly shows that, as rule,
Catholics are not free readers, and
are therefore not free thinkers.
That is where the trouble lies.
There are as good Catholics as Prot
estants, but they are uniformed,
and that alone is responsible for
their being Catholics.
I will venture to say that if the
Catholic Church, as a whole in this
country, would take the ban off of
that part of their teaching, read our
Protestant literature, read their
Catholic literature and worship in
our Protestant churches, with Prot
estants, for twelve months, that we
would fellowship them into our
churches by the tens of thousands,
and that that alone would burst the
Catholic machine from A to lizard.
But, fellow citizens, that is where
the rub comes that is against their
teachings, and they would not sub
nit to it, for they know as we'll as
we that that is just what would hap
pen.
All, if we could but just get to-
gether on that point the question
would be settled for good and
always, and we would have abso-
lutely no more trouble over the me
Temere" decree.

IN MEMORY OF w. TEL. sPIER.

A gloom OF sadness was cast over
our entire community when, on
March 8, 1915, the de2th-angel en-
tered the peaceful home and claimed
our beloved friend and brother, w.
H. ,Spier.
Brother Spier w2s corn in Monroe
County, Ga, in 1915, and spent his
boyhod on a farm in his native
county. His opportunities for IN
education were very meagre, as in
his boyhocd days there were scarcely
any but the ''old field" schools in
the rural districts, and being OF poor
parents he was unable to attend
other than these schools.
Long before he cleared his "teens"
the call for volunteers to fight the
battles of the Confederacy was
abroad in the South. To this call
he responded with the same manly
spirit which characterized him
through life, and the Confederacy
never enrolled q truer soldier nor a
more loyal man to the Southern
cause.
In 1870 he marie Miss Amanda
Hanson, of Monroe County. To their
six boys and five girls, ten Of whom
survive him, five sons and five
daughters, all grown.
He was deacon OF the Primitive
Baptist Church about twenty years.
In politics he was a Populist. He
loved and believed in The Jeffer-
sonian next to his Bible.
Truly a good man in Israel has
fallen Brother Spier will be sadly
missed at old Bursa bee. the church
to which he had belonged. SO many
years. AS a husband he was de-
voted; as a father, loving and af-
fectionate, and as friend, ever kind
and true. To his dear wife with
whom he walked hand in hand for
forty-fve years, and to his loving
sons and daughters, we extend our
heartfelt sympathy in their sad be-
reavement. j. H. SMITH.

WILL BISHOP GAMBLER PLEASE
TELL ME HOW TO ANSWER
THIS ONE FROM ALABAMA?

Dear Sir: Please explain what is
meant by "The Holy Catholic
Church." in the Apostolic Creed of
the M. E. Church, South. I know
a member of this church that will
not remain in the congregation while
this creed is being read-thinking
the ''Holy Catholic Church" refers
to the Roman Catholic Church.
The majority of Alabamians are
with you in the fight you are making
against RomanisnY and also the
Frank case. We hope the people of
Georgia will demand that justice be
melted out to Frank on the day set
for execution, which is the 22nd of
June.
Long may you live to WELD the
pen. ANTI-CATHOLIC.

THE TELEGRAPH REFUSED TO
PUBLISH THIS ONE.
Editor Macon Telegraph,
Macon, Ga.

Dear Sir: I have read with inter-
est the controversy betweet you and
Mr.. Thos. e. Watson, of The Jeffer-
sonian, and what Mr.. John A Smith,
editor Of the TalbottOn New Era,
and the Triton Gazette, and "a
Catholic Layman," all have to say in
regard to Catholicism and the now
famous "Ne Temere' decree,
think that we all agree with you
when you say that you will be with
Mr. Watson when you are convinced
that the Catholic situation is so
grave as he would have us believe;
and further, that all true Americans
would be likewise. l think, further,
that the Telegraph is somewhat mis-
taken when it thinks that there is no
danger Of the Catholics getting con-
troll Of whatever they can. politically
Then again, / know OF two small
railroad systems in this part of the
State that employ as heads Of some
departments a Catholic official, and
that these officials have from time to
time discharged all Protestant work;
men and employed in their stead
Cath olics as near as possible. This
does not look good to nan up
tree.
Nearly all the world knows some
thing of what becomes of all things
that Catholics get control of, and it
seems to me that we, as q free peo-
pie, should study the situation from
an unbiased standpoint and be pre-
pared for any emergency. for we, as
a free people, do not want a Catholic
power within our free country.
The Triton Gazette says that Mr..
Watson has "hallucinatiOns." ! say
let Mr. Watson have all the ''hallu-
cinatiOns" he cares to, and the Gaz
Zette may rest assured that he will
awaken more people than any insti-
tuition in this country and rightly
so, for he is no doubt the best in
formed man to be found anywhere
on the history of the Catholic church
and it's institutions.
The New Era has one on me when
it stands for marriages. by law only.
] think that all churches should
have a right to marry their people
or others that have faith in their
ministry or religion. But when they
do that, I think it time to quit. If
one of their flock sees fit to marry.
a Protestant, and sees it strongly
enough to Join in such marriage and
abide by it for a while, they should
abide by it for all time to come. The
Catholics claim to be the very oldest
religious organization in the world,
and for that reason think that they
have had plenty of time to know it's
teachings from beginning to end, and
should see the most feeble fallacy
of the now famous 'Ne Temere" de-
cree. The law should step in and
take hand in such affairs and stop
whatever church that starts up such
tomfoolery, let it be Catholic or
Protestant
