DR.. CALEB RIDLEY
RE|NsTATED BY
BAPTIST PASTORS

In view of statement last Mon
day by DR.. Caleb A. Ridley before
the Atlanta Baptist Ministers con-
ference that he had severed all con-
nectfon with secret organizations
and wished again to consecrate his
life to the ministry, the former pas
tor of the Central Baptist church
was readmitted to membership in
the body at it's weekly meeting in
the First Baptist church after con-
siderable debate.
DIR. Ridley, a former official of
the Ku Klux Khan, appeared before
the Baptist ministers and reiterated
his statement of a week ago that all
he sought was the fellowship of the
signed to any church. He stated,
however, that due to the fact that
membership had been taken from
his some months ago, he was not
able, conscientiously, to accept a
number Of offers he had had to con-
duct revival services.
A committee, composed OF DIR. w.
III. Faust, pastor of the Gordon
Street Baptist church; the Rev. j.
w. Heymore, pastor Of the First
Baptist church of Decatur, and the
Rev. w. l.. Hambrick, pastor OF the
Central Baptist church, reported
that they had investigated Or. Rid
ley's change of heart and recon-
mended that he be restored to fel.
lowship in the conference. They re.
ported that DIR. Ridley. had promised
ito devote much of his time in the
future to helping men who have
wandered from the old paths by the
habit of strong drink which was the
principal cause leading to his trou-
bic in recent months"
DIR. Major Intervenes
When the report of the committee
was read, DIR. j. w. Ham, pastor of
the Baptist Tabernacle, immediate.
ly moved its adoption but before the
question could be put DR.. w. H..
Major, pastor of the Capitol Avenue
Baptist church. took the floor and
stated that he doubted if the confer
ence had been given the benefit of
sufficient time to determine if Dr..
Ridley's reformation was perma.
nent.
A man who does what DR.. Ridley
has done has himself and the
denomination" DR.. Major said. 1--WE
have two questions to answer: To
forgive Dr.. Ridley and to restore
him to the pastorate. l forgive
him freely. He is my personal
friend. But I doubt the ACCESSIBILITY
Of putting our stamp Of approval on
him w. ne has proved himself
worthy for a period Of time"
In discussing the recommendation
Of the committee DIR. Charles w.
Daniel, pastor of the First Baptist
church, also took the position that
he doubted If DR.. Ridley's change OF
heart had been tested sufficiently.
Il forgive him frcc.y," D. Do-'-a
said, "as know everybody else here
does. But l would hesitate to give
him the Endorsement of the confer
ence at this time I doubt il DR..
Ridley has had time TO know his
own mind.

Well posted physicians now treat

one remedy doctors depend on for the

Pepsinated Calomel is the prescription
that combines both, being the finest

their patients, treated with Peps;n
