f?fe 8 - REV. J. W. COLEMAN t SPEAKS TO THE BAPTISTS g | Rev. J. W. Coleman, Treasurer t of the Baptist Missionary and Edu x rational convention of S. C. speaks to. the Brother-hood a'.! the Great ( ? Baptist convention of S. C. from t Spartanburg, S. C. < - Dear Brethren: t This letter is simply* to set ; strdight a statement made by Rev. J ' S. C. Campbell in his "Kampbell- j grams'' in last weeks' issue of the , Palmetto Leader. I I I wish to make khown that 1 ( am nut.a "Kampbellgram" lighter. , For after all., the Brethren of llu State as I know them, consider al j of the" "Dynamo stuff" as "bo>h. and simply nothing but "Kami j bellgrams." However, I am - reminding tin Brethren that they may remeln ? 1mm- Hi.. "Kamnbellgrams" that i- _ weekly published by dDynamo, w'hich has attracted the ability o, the official capacity of many o the Brethren of the State, assunV" inv^ the authority as Dictator o 1 the State convention of South Carolina dor the last three years, has come to an end, neVer again to tat ressiirected. .... lk.u:imn Cnmpb'1!!." . assume the authority last year of chang ing my P. O. address, ,which wa an open trespass upon my privi i lege and a; violation to< the laws .c our common "wealth, and assume . the authority to name for the con ' .vention a Treasurer long befor the session' opepir.? ? We decided. as Free Baptist Laurens, S.C., last year to pull th sting out of this "Dictator, which'was poisoning' the mind c the conunpT church. 1 thank Go for the wakening of the Baptist in Lau"*ons. To this end this Dictator with all his propogandr. an newspaper waitings, has assume ? Che authority for the last thre years of running the State Bap tist convention from its grea head. The President, back to th humblest office that's, v'lrund in th Baptist church, was defeated r that great session and put right fully in his place, and this, worth, and most important office wa filled by the Hon. Dr. L. C. Jen kins of Columbia, S.C., and the R Rev. A. M. Means of Spartanburg" S. C. as assistant. These Christ ian gentlemen make tip a team i this most important office that am sure the Brethren of the Stat will be proud of. ? The. State has had a peacefe sea and mighty Calm since thes Christian gentlemen have take over this office. * ' ? "Dynamo" has said he was incused pf being a "fibber" in Bail ens. Ye', hut you he the " -ju< g and read between the lines. Th question in Laurens was not th pastoring in Kentucky.* but tlia my. P. (). had been changed and had lult the Kta'i?\ _ N'ow to' the. satisfaction, of th Brethren and for your own judge merit, you decided who was th "fibber." . I am living at lTfiK. Valley St Spartanburg, S. C.. my same P. (> address and same house for t?'; years since I left Chester, S. (' ami a- far as I know, I will h< ? here indefinite,maybe forty year: to come. Letters of eternal glitter in a' at now engraved and stamped in th vocabulary of every thinking Bap tist in uur common wealth, tha only Christ is the" he aw of tin - Church and all of .us are his litth ones and his grace makes es fre indeed. Therefore dust to dust, ashes t> ashe- with "I)ictat?4rship" 'wit! free thinking Baptists. I itm pronlpted to write this lot ter because of n>y name appeariiq in the'"Kampbellfivams" of las 4. week's 'issue as to pastoring it % Kentucky. TRe'Brethren < ' of Higher Vis ion have congratulated me on? of tReir sonfs and Brothers to b' able to do the thintf that many o our Brothern of the State have iv t done, and I am reminding- youo some of the-e things. You remember I pastured tin Olivet Baptist chureh, Detroit Mich, about eight years atro, my resident and I*. 0. address, remain ei.Lthe same. About seven y? ars atro, be t remembered I pa,stored the Gren; Rettlah Institution Baptist ehurcl Tampa, Kla., my residence and I 0. address remained .the same. Why then should Dynamo Cam bell question my pasturing in Ky when my residence and P.O. ad dress remain'the same. Oh well, guess it is a lack of understanding God's miirhty gifts. S'ome wer< ginri "tv talent, five1 and?t-e+n >- am not responsible for God not giving him ton. c It.mavbc God gave me five, bu-' I am <i?ing my best to put thorn w ~ exchange. Now as to bis reference to Dr. Dunbar a- a good Treasurer, \v< all know that-Dr. Dunbar 'is a high tone honorable Christian gen tlernan, With hundreds of others just as good as he .or myself to fill the office; . But"?Hr.. Dunbar, like myself is not an office seeker, the office must seek iis. It is not fair t<? the Brotherhood of the State' for any Brother in office, .Missionary or what not, to run aroynd over the State or ] write in newspapers, his opinion or nominate men (because of , friendly fooling) to office in the ' > State that must be elected by the people. Especially when he himself must! be elected by the people ' I am * undir.g the alarm to the ' Brotherhood' that Dynamrt Camp ' "bell is elected as Cor. Sec. of S 1 "" S. and B. Y. P. lb--department-xp. this State, and let's "Watch Him' < as he performs in that capacity. < Thi- is my final letter. I air 1 not dpnominPti?nril fighter Mv A highest, ambition is not to seek of fice, but to< glorify Cod and serve f my church and last hut not least, c live each i.-iv and night "with a a heart full of love for all and malice n I.,,.. c X" 1 o none.
