SIX STATES HIT, MANY KILLED IN ALABAMA AND GEORGIA.
Not Sectional Fight, AS Some of
The New Organizers Would Have
the Baptists Believe But a
Doctrinal Fight.
By DR.. C. C. Phillips, Goleonda IT.

Back to Elder Hunt, even asked the
s. S. Convention to convene with the
St. Paul church and S. S., 1920. He
should have not been led out of the
graces of the brethren, by Dr. Oliver
nor one else. Elder Hunt too had
better learn the brethren, for himself.
They are also telling it around that one
has to be in the Association six years
before he ia allowed to hold offieei they
ought to produce the law that shows
this bold and unwaranted assertion
For instance Elders Norment andJ. u
Davis holds two of the most Important
offices in the Mt. Olive Association and
they did not have to be in the District
ak wears either. The brethren are
hard pressed for an issue.
We wish to say in this connection
there is certain sister coming in with
her abuse of Brother Phillips and 9th
ers branding us as thieves and robbers,
We are not aware of having done the
lady any harm, If so, she has only te
show us and we will gladly beg her par
don. We allow no one to surpass Us IN
admiration for true womanbood, only
las they have ability to do 80. But we
must warn the good sister, that she
must stop; in fact this is Ministerias
Fight and she must not jump INTO IT,
because if she does not let up On us, we
will lay her sins bare. We think we
have the goods, SO stop now sister
Paul says in Titus, I'LL Whose
mouths must be stopped" 1t ap-
pears in this passage that Paul, stoD-
ped their mouths with the pen. We
have said this is not sectional fight
but Doctrinal fight. 2nd Epistle Of
John. 10, II VS. IF there any unts you
and bring not this doctrine, receive
him not into your house, neither biz
him God Speed; For he that bideth him
God speed is partaker of his evil
deeds.
Any tolerably well informed Baptist
knows that alien immersion, church
federation, open communion and Free
will ordination is not the doctrine hand
ed down by Jesus Christ, The Law Civ
er, and practiced ty the Apostles.
The Interchurch World move, is but
the Church Federation operating un-
der another name, and too, the Wash
ington City Charter got out by Seven
, Men to take over the National Training
School, of Washington, ID. G. and the
National Baptist Publishing House and
everything pertaining thereto, and re-
sponsible to their consciences only, IS
also contrary to the doctrine.
Not one clause in this Charter, shows
that the rights of the churches or de-
nomination are bound to be respected
1 And yet DR.. Olive seeks with the Nor
ris Convention to bind the Baptists
and foot.
i Now as to the Charter of the pub
fishing house, which we may well cali
the legal program. by which the busi-
ness must be run, which expressly says,
the rights of the denomination of Bap-
tist churches and the laws of Tennes-
see and the laws of the United States
must be kept, and moreover DR. Nor
ris, and the Atty, that defended them
drew up the legal program, and Seven
others with Drs. r. H. Boyd, and Nor
ris, swore that, was just what they
wanted. that is what beat these breth-
rem in all three of the courts from the
Chancery, Courts of Appeals and the
Supreme Court of the State of Tennes~
see.
We predicate this exposure upon the
following Scriptures Acts l5il rs.
This passage shows about the first Ec-.
clesiasical Convention, respecting
Church order discipline, fellowship, etc.
This passage shows that some were
teaching false doctrine, and the church
agreed with the Elders, in sending
messengers to an other church and let
ters exposing these false teachers.
, This is just what the Board did in the
meeting at Mounds. So he who think
that was wrong we cite them to these
Scriptures herein stated.
