l have read it with a great deal of
care and wish very much that ,his
heart could be fashioned thus. Now
how can that peace be obtained and
realized throughout the denomina.
ton? This question causes wondee
to me and oil the rest of aus gOIn.
fact do Aetvbelieyel that there will
ever be any peace until these men
leading the figSti against the Publish
ing House get what they want and
hey must have it, if keeping people
on the dark side of the question will
get it, and give the Publishing House
t6 them. Wes all know beyond a
doubt that the split IN the; National
Baptist GeRventioni was b not on aCS
count of the Publishing House; in
fact, the Publishing House WAS not
mentioned so Tar sas |, observed ami

There are a large number of minis.
tiers who are striving to keep the real
issue from the people, but l as a
Baptist believe that nothing will be
settled right until the people are in
diligently informed; and that the
Baptists should and ought to have a
voice in the affairs of the denomi.

fathers hog feeder, and how we'll do
| remember that when I would pour
basket of corn in the pen it was
satisfactory to all in the pen. stood
many time and watched them eat
with satisfaction and these hogs were
always fine looking and well-fed But
there were those on the outside keep
ing up fuss and trying to break
into the pen and they would never
cease hollering and biting the rails
until they got corn. AS soon as they
got corn then peace came So it is
in this peace drive of DR.. Eason. You
must either give somebody some corn
or put it where they can get it or
peace will never come.
l am willing for them to have it
If it is right that they should, but I
will fight long and well if it is
wrong. These men have no more
, right to break into the Publishing
House and take it by strategy than
any one else has. In fact, when Bap.
fist bodies adjourn there is an au.
thority or power left with any set
of men to make OF coerce man or
sc of men bow to them or do their
bidding. In fact, these men who are
trying to get into the Publishing
House and tear up the Board, I be.
lieve, want it so it can be the head
quarters of the denomination from
which all the power, authority and
rule must eminate. This condition
and kind of action was not existant
and done under Paul's administra-
, tom Jesus Christ never ordered it,
and there are some Baptists who Will
never consent to it during this life
because it isGunBaptistic from every
angle.y 10 a,.r A
