R. L. ROBIE, LECTURER ON MIL
LENIAL DAWNISM, WARNS
REV. LACKEY TO "BACK
UP."
Following two Bermons In refuta
atlon of the theories of the late pastor
Russell, founder of the International
Bibe Students' Association, a sect
which is alleged to teach that the
millenium has already arrived, tihe
Reverend R W. Lackey, pastor of the
First Baptist church of Drumright, is
in receipt of a letter from R. L. Robie,
a representative of the sect, in which
he sets forth a warning to Mr, Lackey
personally, including in another para
graph the community at large.
"I warn you of the serious danger
of continuing your past methods of
slander and abuse," says Mr. Robie In
one Passage.
'"I have copies of court records tvith
which to back up every stricture I
have ever placed, or shall* place, upon
the authority and character of the la'e
Pastor Russell,'' asserts the Reverend
Mr. Lack:)/, "And as for the authcn
liclty of his 'ivjne miss: it., I shall
ontlnue to iaipeach It. P-r \ I
have no less, and ask no better, au-
thority and evidence than the Bibla
Itself."
In another paragraph Mr. Robie
warns, "For your own good and for
the good of your community, you had
better back up and start over again."
"I shall continue the series of stu-
dies, the second of which was offered
last Sunday night. The third will be
submitted Sunday night. At that time
I expect to take up another phase of
the teachings of Russelism," Mr.
Lackey declared.
Mr. Robl-a wrote from Red Oak, Ok-
lahoma. and stated a reply m'ght
reach him at Chickasha.
