The Board of that h little socalled Union Association said d the reason why they are in existence is that the Pacolet River Association took into its fellowship a church of r disorderly members, which was cony trary to the laws of the Baptist church, but that same dissatisfied crowd of righteous law-abiding brethren took the churches that they could e influence and organized the socalled r Union Association without letters from the Pacolet River Association, y The truth is they did not go out be - cause of that church but because they could not boss and change things to r suit themselves e G.
