The farmers Of this section are very
busy. Some are nearly thru planting
corn while others have not planted any
corn. Wheat 'ooks fine and the pros
poets are good. Oats are not as good as
will be good but in the hills of Cannon
there is none From all appearance, the
apple crop will be good. Nearly all of
The best mules have been bought up and
shipped away and what are left are
Young. All of the hogs and cattle have
been bought and shipped.
The young folks had an egg hunt
Sunday.
We had some rain and very much
wind Fridav night.
Old Rocky Point church has been re-
built and painted which is an omen we
hope for good.
| guess brother StRrke, according to
old Blue has very bad opinion Of
Nhitwell. He does not know anything
about mean people. could show him
meaner and not go as far as Memphis.
Let him try some county iakes not q
thousand miles away.
Some want to slap Uncle Tom for tel
ling the truth about the 10th century
sects Every single one of them are as
far from being the real church as an o.
possum is raccoon and all borrow or
purloin more or less from the Roman
church and then abuse her and all 9th
er people who are honest enough to con-
cede to her the honor of originality
from St. Peter. Let them fire away
their cleansing, strife, and confusionS
are not for the honor and glory of God.
The world Is fuller of prejudice than it

under the doctrine and teaching of de-
Aominational sectarianism than ever in
the history of the world. God is surely
allowing the so called christian nations
to punish each other without any hind
rance They are paying dearly for
their treachery to Him and His son and
church. | have no confidence in such
christianity. To think of the greatest
and most powerful nations of earth she'd
ding each Others blood is enough to
cause any intelligent right thinking
person to repudiate the religion that
makes il possi BILE for such things in this
age of the world. 1t is prejudice and
greed fostered by ungodly men in high
places. Germany is the seat of Prot
estan tism, and Russia seat of the Greek
church, and England is the seat of the
Anglican church, Italy of the Roman
church; and not one has enough infiu-
ence to overcome the God of war.
America the home of the Baptist and
Methodist is being gradually drawn in
to the bloody tragedy. What is such
christianity worth to nation and peo-
pie? Is it Of any value? Pray tell me,
None of you have dare to answer the
Clifty writer when he asked, Has God
created a world He cannot control. p"
What about religion that does not and
will not protect working men from op-
preston? How many Of your denomina-
tions have ever tried to tighten the bur
den of toll when the laborer by his own
effort,gets every jack-leg preacher to in
wade their camp He breaches and con-
verts around until he gets every penny
possible and then hikes out to the next
colony of working men to skin them,
and 1t is all done in the name OF Jesus.
want you to give the church some
thing to think about. Gou say ! do
not read the Scripture. / may not but
| have heard of the poor hireling and
how the rich man oppressed him.
have heard of brotherly love and kind
ness, and have heard that we must
follow peace with all men and not try
to kill them as millions are doing at
this present time.
