ians going in business with an un-
believer. l have done this for seven

person to another, no matter what
is the cause for the divorce. have
refused to join a man and woman
together in wedlock when there is a

their ages. The Bible speaks against
it. Does that show that 1 am seek.

Yet l am accused by so-called
minister of the gospel of being an
imitator, of putting Richmond to
shame. l have prayed for and CO.
operated with all movements. l have
fought nothing but sin. l have

tism. I am enjoying too sweet a
fellowship with my Baptist friends
to be foolish enough to- argue bap-
tismal modes. I not only sprinkle
and pour, immense, emerse, duck Or
drown. 1 have told our people to be
friendly with the white people. The
Bible says love your enemies. NOW,
having made this apology for my pc
sition, let us come to the law and
the testimony and hear what God has
to say. II believe the Word of God.

Name.
