$1,000, 900 to the State of Louis

Baptist, especially pastors, who is
in favor Of taking council with
view to brotherly discussion and an
effort to harmonic Baptist mission
work with Baptist principles. Get
mission work on Biblical and Bap-
tistic basis and we can get together.
AS things are going now matters are
getting worse daily; and since the

it is un-Scriptural, un-Baptistic, I'M

preacher and humble pastor, but I

Baptist independence on those fields.

WONDERFUL TRIBUTE FROM A
GOOD Old MAN

Dear Old Faithful, Fearless, Senti-
mel: / am trying to feel devoutly
thankful that your enemies so thor
oughly failed to meet the success
they SO much desired in prosecuting
you. l trust that all Christians will
thank the Lord for your deliverance.
Anybody that is honest and informed
can fully see that it was the Knights
Of Columbus using the Government
as a cats paw to get the chestnuts
out of the fire, and I believe it will
have tendency to open the eyes Of
those that are yet in the dark. I
have been with you all along the
hard fought battle doing what could
to help you, but my work is done;
my race is about run. I don't expect
to ever set my foot on the earth
again. have done my best, as I saw
it, to help you in your work of love
for mankind. | have been confined
to my room for fifteen days never
to walk out any more, but l trust in
Him that doeth all things we'll to put
someone in my place here that will
be better able to do justice to the
cause, l am in my eighty-fifth year
and have never seen where the right
to worship according to the dictates
of conscience includes the right to
put on the livery of Christ to do the
work of the devil and call it the
Christian religion. How the Gov
eminent can sit idly by and let the
hierarchy, with their prisons, de-
bauch our fair females and defy
Civil laws to protect them / can't
understand
Mr.. Watson, l am so feeble that
I will close hoping someone will take
up the head I have just started on
and give it a better finish than / am
able to give it.
May the Great Spirit guide you in
all truth and righteousness and con-
tinue to bless your efforts is the
desire of your devoted follower.
Ga. T. J. CHAFFIN.

from the first day I saw you on the
watchtower twenty-five years., and
have never caught you mapping.
