and not being able to raise his sal
airy, and yet be able to force himself
upon the church, and thus cause a
considerable debt upon the church
for which he may sue, get Judgment,
and force sale of the church prop
erty. If such is to be the order and
Of the church, then no church can
consistently permit any pastor to get
behind, for If they do they are in
their own light. If a pastor can
force himself on the services Of a
church when he is not able to raise
his own salary, and then after years
of accumulation, walk out and sue
that church and get judgment against
that church and sell that church.
then that church must see to 1t that
every preacher raises his own salary
or his resignation must be forthcom
ing before a large amount Of salary
accumulates.
1t Is to be regretted that such Q
precedence has been established, !,
is to be regretted that one of the
oldest Baptist preachers, one whom
the district and church has honored
to such an extent could be per
suaded to take such an unBaptistit
step. The suing of church by a
Baptist preacher, to our way of think
ing, constitutes an objectionable er
ror, one for which We doubt mucl
but that God is highly indignant.

VICTORY OF THE MACEDONIA
BAPTIST CHURCH.
The Peoples Defender.

The Macedonia Baptist Church,
England, Ark, who peaceful worship
and church life was disturbed by a
few representatives of church mi
nority rule and Baptist irregularity,
and who were thrown into the courts
by such representatives, have come
out more than victorious as will al
ways those who are right and right
eous. Rev. T. W. Washington, the
pastor, and the officials of that
church were sustained in their con.
tentions against the corrupt practices
and designs Of the would-be little
Professor Moreland and his misled
and misguided adherents. The COM
plete victory in this case is very en-.
couraging, and serves to demonstrate
to the world that the courts of our
land are not going to depart or per.
NIT others to depart from the regular
line of procedure as outlined by the
fathers of the Baptist church in their
disciplines and wel!-established rules
of practice.
The Macedonia Church in it's con
tentions received an injunction
against Moreland and his crowd, re
, ceived the money that was in tn,
treasury, and had it not been for tn,
spirit of mercy, would have lande'

FOOLISH BAPTISTS LED BY A
FOOLISH LEADER DOING
FOOLISH THINGS.
The Peoples Defender.

That contingent Of the Union Dis
trict Association that split off from
the regular association two years ago
at Hensley, Ark, which is, as to
numbers and intelligence and finan.
cial strength and church property
only a fragment of the real associa-
ton, led by Rev. r. M. Caver hath
attempted to do or to play some very
heightened stunts in the circle of
Baptists. Rev. Mr.. Caver who is
moderator and who seems to be, or
who desires to be, if the words OF
those who are following him amount
to anything, chief cook and bottle
washer, called the Board meeting a
few days ago with the Baptist church
of Sweet Home. In said meeting not
having anything of a constructive
nature to do, and having no construc-
tive ability, they naturally turned to
destructive tactics as would be ex-
pected by men of the class following
him, and by him as leader. The
chief thing that claimed their atten.
ton was to adopt an air-tight resOlu-
ton prohibiting the Baptists of the
Progressive movement Of the state,
to prohibit the majority Baptists Of
the district from entering into any
of their pulpits, in fact, if we are
rightly informed, The resolution as
adopted by them was to the effect
that none of the adherents of the
Progressive idea in the district, Or to
be more specific, that none of the 80
called Gainesites were to be permitted
in the pulpit of any of the so-called
, Caverites, and that if any of the
Caverites were found mingling with
the Gainesites, that they were to be
drawn up before the high ecclesiasti.

SUING a CHURCH.

Wickedness and diabolism seems to
have reached its climax in the suit
brought by the Rev. P. A. Knowles,
former pastor of Collins Street Bap-
fist Church, against that church.
Many years ago he was elected pastor
of that congregation, and served 1t
for a number of years. Being as
the facts seem to show very poor
pastor, he was unable to raise his
own salary, or the salary that he was
supposed to get. From year to year
this salary seems to have accumulated
until he had gotten into the church
debt something near 1,500, desiring
to stay there, but the church realiz-
ing that he was unequal to the task
and was not able to feed himself out
of his job, dismissed him from its
service, and he, contrary to all New
Testament rules and authorities and
regulations, went into court, and
there secured q judgment against the
church for the above named sum. 1t
has always been the policy Of the
Baptist church, and is the policy OF
the Baptist church today, that tile
pastor of a Baptist church is largely
responsible for the raising Of his
own salary. In fact, the people put
themselves in his hand, and it Is a
private, unexpressed understanding
with pastor and people that he is to
receive a certain amount out of that
which through his influence and
power the church is able to raise.
This same private understanding sug
gests that in the event that he I:
unable to raise the stipulated amount
that there is TO debt or deficit, fo
it would be manifestly unfair for ;
minister to continually hold on to tn
throat of a church when he realize,
that he was involving that churcl

TRYING TO KEEP THINGS IN THE

ever the truth is being told to the
people generally, they rush to each
