spoke of when he wrote his Second
Epistle to Timothy. II Timothy ABA,
reads thus: For the time will come
when they will not endure sound doc
trine; but after their own lusts shall
they heap to themselves teachers,
having itching ears; And they shall
turn away their ears from the truth,
and shall be turned unto fables"
AMPLIFIER: "You were saying
something about me and my mothers
shroud; what was it?"
BRO. SENTIMENT: "Ah, / was
saying that the pastor, Rev. Parham,
while abusing you in his pulpit, Sum-
day morning, December 7, 1880. for
writing on the divorce question, made
many unbefitting remarks regarding
you and that article. The pastor said
among other things that you had
been very close to him; having upon
one occasion taken dinner at his
home; and at all times previous pos
ed as friend. and so on, then, to
go out and try to destroy his influ-
ence and reputation, would steal the
shroud from your dead mothers
back"
AMPLIFIED: eyes, I went to
see DR.. Parham. but did not pose to
him as his particular admirer. / pose
in a friendly manner to everybody. l
also askt him for some information
concerning the affair, intact, be-
fore I went to see him I knew that
he was not going to give any facts
on the subject. ] left this pastors
residence blank. Now so far as be-
traying is concerned, l don't know
what he means. No person nor per-
sons, paid me-not a penny. l am
not, and have never been a follower
of DR.. Parham. Judas was one OF
Christ's followers. and knew much
concerning His works: and he was
paid a certain amount of money, and
so on. But I knew nothing concern
ing Rev. Parham and his past ac-
tions, intact, his own congregation
that he breaches to every Sunday
was unaware of the fact that their
shepherd had two living wives. 1t
seems that his own followers should
have known about his past actions.
No, Bro. P. (ubli) c. Sentiment. |
nave not betrayed d.. Parham. for
he told me nothing at all; still he
gets up in Gods Holy rostrum and
accuses me falsely. And so far as be-
Ing close friend. newspaper report
er is supposed to talk kindly to those
who fall into difficulties and trouble,
but not crush the truth. DR.. Par
hams case was already reported in
in the Bible, / simply opened it and
read about him. That's why he called
me Judas, but l know, and others
know that he is mistaken. This pas
tor, I presume thought would
smooth up and platser up for him
because he is a native of North Caro-
lima, my home State. But no, would
be treating the reading public wrong.
Now this divine is sore with me be-
cause | opened tn Bible to him. But
am still friend of his, cannot be
less, if l expect to make that city a
bove. Wonder is he still sore with
me? He can not be if he is trying to
make that city above. Let him have
religion enough to tell me through
the Richmond Planet. The other
night, when I called him up on the
telephone, Sister Parham, his wife
No. 2, said to me that Rev. Parham
said that he did not care to speak to
me. I said to Mrs. Parham. This pre-
sent wife, that I heard that he was
mad with me: that as a truthful
friend and broher, l wanted to get it
straight; she said, 'airingly, Rev.
Parham says that he did not care to
speak to me, then she slammed the
receiver of the telephone down. Now
this pastor expect to go to Heaven,
he wont speak to me down here, not
even on the telephone! We must get
right down here. What shall / do a
bout it?"
BRO. SENTIMENT: "Stop right
now, and get on the heavenly tele-
phone and tell God, Omnipotent, Om-
nipresence, and Omniscient, about
him. Goodbye, call us up again next
week."
