Signal is bound
judgment till that body decides
which it will affiliate with In
the meantime we apologize for
publishing Brother Davis’ artiole
referring to the other side Our
brethren will see at onoe that the
Bjgnal cannot pursue any other
course
Again we have an article from
a good brother at South Cana-
dian exposing a party who has
been slandering the General
Association Our brother fails
to give the man’s name or the
particulars in the case If the
brother will give names and well
authenticated facts we will ex
pose the guilty party The
Signal is willing to expose frauds
if the proof is given but it must
be proof that will stand the test
in court
We have withdrawn the offer
f the Bible and Signal for $310
for two reasons: First the
Bible costs $160 without allow-
ing anything for mailing a letter
and some brethren will send $3
and expect us to send Bible and
the Signal one year The seo
ond reason is the leather lined
bock is better bound and is
printed on better paper We
want to give our subscribers a
book that will give satisfaction in
every respect You can’t get
such a book elsewhere for less
than $500
Some time ago J N Hall
criticised our great Baptist mo
ul cn his hardshell baptism
He got mad and took Hall’s
paper off his exchange list
Hall was very generous and sent
him the money for a year’s sub
oription We cannot conscien-
tiously subscribe for the Stand
ard or we would help it out a
little We prefer not to spend
any money for a Baptiet paper
that advocates receiving hard-
shell Cimpbellite or any other
tli?n immersions
: 'or membership but was reject-
ed in a brotherly spirit and the
ehuroh was admonished to line
up on Baptist dootrines It
holds to feet-washing as a
church ordinance
Mt Zion Church entertained
the body royally ’
Next meeting will be with the
tized disciples out of the church
exoept the twelve
As he returned from his offioe
the next day he met a oitizen who
seemed exoited He remarked:
“Mr Greely I have stopped the
Tribune I” “Ah I” responded
Mr G “you must be mistak-
en I was at the Tribune offioe a
A few weeks ago an editorial
appeared in the Beaoon headed
“A Dialogue” We did not
notice it as we considered it too
dirty lor decent people to handle I and eve’rytoiog
Ghoul-like the author ol theLemed to b m07ins alongl8
church at Mt Olivet three miles aricle opened the graves of the u8ual mean” replied
west of Mannsville and four saJnted Buckner Compere and the man “that I have stopped
miles southwest of Earl hers and fea8ted on th® dead
We thought that an indignant
Dr John Hall died in Ireland PubIic would revolt against such
September 17 He has been pas-1 a ‘dialogue ” Hence we have
tor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist rofused to publish anything that
Church New York for years refers to the aforesaid editorial
and was the greatest Presbyteri-1 We take for granted that it is an
an preacher of his day Thej®torial as no name was at
writer was fortunate enough to looked and no explanation was
hear this distinguished preacher I £iven iu the next issue In the
twice and is of opinion that he aee °I our protest Bro L W
never heard a greater preacher Wright comes out in an article
the man
( the Tribune from coming to me’’
“Why” replied Mr Greely
' 'that is quite a different thing
from stopping the Tribune ’
Haeo fabula dooet eto
Hall stood like a stone wall
against Briggeism and other
forms of higher criticism
Let brethren everywhere re-
member that we positively can-
not send out books on a credit
Don’t ask it Nor can we furn-
ish the Combination Bible to
those who do not pay a full
year’s subscription for the Sia-
this week in reference to said
editorial and defends the families
of the dead who are slandered
He says ' 'I am personally re-
sponsible for the artiole Put it
in” Bro W is a northern
man but he is willing to defend
the honor of missionary heroes
who fell at their posts as mission-
aries of the Southern Baptist
Convention
We want to beg our brethren
not to use low flings at their
brethren when condemning their
errors We should use “hard
arguments and soft words ’ ’ If
the editorial oolumns of the
Signal do anyone an injustice
all you have to do is to call atten-
tion to it If we cannot prove it
we will retraot it
We had oommenoed a reply to
J B Cranfill'the “Bowie-knife
editor’ ’ of the Texas Standard
and before finishing the article
we received a reply by J M
Lambright which is much bet-
rest of the state it is only a
matter of a very short time when
they will ' 'drift of their own ao-
cord” into the Arkansas State
Convention
Again that mountain region
needs help as a part of Arkansas
and should take its plaoe along
with the mountains of North
Carolina Georgia Ajabama
etc that the Southern Baptist
Convention is considering just
now as a special feature of its
work
Again Buckner College whioh
under the Arkansas Convention
and the Southern Baptist Con-
vention’s speoial mountain work
can be made a power for good in
the mountain region of Arkansae
Yet it can never beoome the
sohool for the Indian Territory
Baptists
Finally we commend the con-
scientious notion of Elder W L
Compere who knowing the
work his father had done and hie
father’s friends on both sides of
the line yet could see what was '
the right thing to do and had
the courage of his oonviotions
to do it
This ohange of name does not
change our relationship We are
still brethren Our Arkansas
brethren will always be welcome
to seats with us as visitors and
if a ohurch aoross the line wants
o send suoh men as L F Pat-
terson or Uncle Bob Claiborne
or any other' old friend of the
General Association as a mes-
senger he will always find a
tome in the hearts of the breth-
ren of the General Association of
ndian Territory
