The ex cessive heat and the dangers of travel at this season all make life A Little More Uncertain: Man Must Live Frea from Sin If He Expects to See God. Mr. Editor.—Will you pleas** al low me space in your good and wel come paper to make a statement to my friend “0 T. B.,” the writer of the letter from Beaverdam. which I have just read and taken thought over. It gives me much pleasure to know persisted in, “mity result in that people all over the country be lieve in holiness, but I am surprised to some extent when they say they believe in holiness and then don’t preach or teach their belief. Romans 8:10 reads like my brother said it does, and I am like him in one sense : if there is any religion it is the religion of Jesus Christ, for there is no other kind that keeps a man from sin. If we sin God says we are none of His, so we belong to the devil if we are sinners. God says He does not look upon sin with the least degree, so if we ever aim to see Him we must not sin. We do not say that we have not sinned some time during life, but we do say we can and must live free from sin if we see God. If the body be dead to sin and Jesus Christ be in our spirit, then how can Jesus sin or the spirit of man, when Jesus *8 in the man? What makes a man sin? It is the j old devil that gets in him. When a man is down at prayer talking to ; God he hasn’t got anythin; mean in his heart, has he? Then, can’t he live free from sin a minute? If we can live holy one minute we can live it two minutes, and so on. I was once a holiness lighter, and one of the worst on earth,I guess, but, thank God I I arajtoday a believer in holiness, and try to live it, too; though I may, as the brother said, make mistakes, but I ask God to for- i give me daily and to keep me from the devil’s workshop. I try to hold up holiness to the people as a message from the word ot God. I was a Baptist once in my life and lived it for ten years. I was first up and then down. I had a hard time in this life When 1 got drunk nobody would come and pray for me; no one would encourage me more than to say to me some time, “Don’t you know care-free. Jones J. Darby, Agt.

I am living for God as near as I Aetna 'Life Insurance Company, then 1 know how, and I have the same kind your work or your vacation will be more i of Biblo that John Wesley preached 1 out of. Ii has lots of good things in it besides baptism. We are nob saved by water—it is by faith in God. I have not one word to say about any man’s church; but don’t live after the form of the church—live after Jesus Christ, and that will be a holy life. Let’s ail live up to what we pre tend. If we pretend lo live a Chris tian life let’s not Have a word to say about a man wno is trying to live and preach holiness; for the Bible says that without holiness no man can see God. Read Romans 0:20-22: “But now being made free from sin and become servants to God ye have your fruits unto holiness, auc in the itnd everlasting life.” I thank God that I ever learned this scripture. All who are interested read Hebrews 3:4 15), and see how it fits holiness. Jesus says, “You must be holy even as 1 am holy” I am glad some good brother thinks about Jesus in his old days, for there are not many young ones who think about Him. Mr. “O. T. B.,” dear brother, pray for me that 1 may hold out until the Jesus comes that we want to meet with clean hearts in our bodies. With many thanks to the honor able Ledger for the space I take, w. j.

To [ he Editor of The Ledger :—Fn last Friday’s issue of your paper ap peared an article to the effect that the ill feeling engendered by the last election for magistrate at this place still existed and had manifested itself in the church. Furthermore, that if the dis ruption of the church—all parties concerned being prominent members of the church.” In view of the fact that several per sons have made enquires as to who wrote the article, I desire to say that I am its author, and that it was not, written for the purpose of provoking a newspaper controversy. However, in Tuesday’s issue of The Ledger I notice a letter from the Rev. J. D. Bailey, written supposedly for the purpose of correcting some error or errors in the article. Now I may be obtuse, but I fail to see, and I think the ...public will also, wherein the Rev. Mr. Bailey’s letter shows any errors in said article, except perhaps in two particulars. And I think that from a reading of the following it will be seen that the Rev. Mr. Bailey is in error as to the first. He does not mention the second. Mr. Bailey admits the existence of ill feeling between Gold and Bridges (the contestants) but ^undertakes to | show that the matter had never been “Drought into the 'ihurch.” Now, the first intimation J had that there was anything of the kind taking place, was about a month ago, during a conversation with Mr. J. I). Ken nedy in the street between the stores of Mr. L. M. Holland and Rippey brothers—during which conversation Kennedy spoke of how Gold had been requested to go to Bridges’ house .for the purpose of settling the difference between Gold and Bridges, and that Bridges had treat ed Gold very rudely ; that the matter had come up in con ference at the Baptist church; that he (Kennedy) had been appointed by the church to see Bridges, and, if pos- # sible, get him to the church for the purpose of settling all differences. A few days later, I learned of a dis pute between Mr. Ira Hardin and Mr. Joe Blalock, relative to an affidavit made by Blalock in the contest, and that Hardin had given Blalock the lie. In a conversation with both of these men, they admitted such to be the case. Later on, Mr. A. M. Bridges stated to me thut on a certain Sunday (the exact date I cannot recall) after ser vice at the town hall, conference was held; that D. I). Gaston and B. J. Gold brc ught the matter up, attempt ing to force him (Bridges) to make a statement, but that he{refused. These are the facts, the Rev. Mr. Bailey to the contrary notwithstand ing. They can be put in the shape of affidavits if desired, and should settle the question as to whether the matter * had “been brought into the church.” ’Tis truejthat the place where the question arose was in the town hail. But that place had been for sometime, and was still being used as a churih until the repairs on the Baptist church had been completed. They had service there that day—then fol lowed the conference, and the ques tion was brought up by Gaston and Gold. Under the circumstances, 1 do not believe that the public will be led astray by such sophistry when stated by the Rev. Mr. Baiiey that the matter had not “been brought into the church.” I may be in error, but 1 am of the opinion that the con ference constitutes the backbone and sinew of tiie church—far more so than the congregations, us the former runs the church, while the lattir merely consists of those attending service and may comprise many of different denominations. In conclusion—1 notice that the Rev. Mr. Bailey states thut he wrote the letter “at the request of the church ” Now will he deny that the letter was not written until after it was suggested in conference last Sun day thao Gold write the letter and upon his declination (for reasons best known to himself), it was agreed that he (Mr. Bailey) write it? How can it i be said “written at the request of the church,” when the matter was dis posed of in conference? and yet. the Rev. Mr. Bailey states that when I said that the matter hud been up in church because it had come before the conference, 1 was incorrect. I regret being forced to make such a lengthy statement about such a small mutter, but I am out in the habit of making statements in the press, or anywhere else, that I cannot substantiate.and do not propose to bo placed in a false position by the Rev. J. D. Bailey or anyone else. At the time the article was written, the mat ter was common talk and I felt at perfect liberty to refer to it. I am still of that opinion. In the whole article I cannot con- ceive of but one possible error, and to that one the Rev. Mr. Bailey did not take exception. I stated thut all the parties interested were “prominent” members of the church. Not being any batter Informed, 1 gave those, to whom I had reference, “the benefit of the doubt.” If I made a mistake I am ready^to apologize. I threw around them the mantle of charity— tempering the wind to the shorn lambs Man cannot conceive of a nobler; mission than that of disseminating j the gospel,—yet some of those ap-! parently intrusted with its dissemina tion, take such divergent views.
