A REpl.Y TO THE MODERATOR OE THK
ADVISORY COUNCIL.
Rev. H. V. Waahington must admit
that the Council certainly erred in not
hearing both aidea. Grant that we
were Calvary'a membera, waa it right
to condemn and brand us aa disonierly
without a hearing? Let any fair-minded
man anawer. Would he like to be tried
and condemned unheard? When the
truth about thiamatter becomea known,
aa it will some day, he will regret that
he atyled a congregation of baptized
believera disonierly, who have never
harmed him, but have refrained from
telling the public what they can prove
about him.
It ia neither right nor proper to call
an Adviaory Council to conaider difhcul
tiea exiating between two Baptial
churchea. A Mutual Council ia the
proper one.
He deaia with the effect of ua organ
izing a Baptist church rather than the
cauae. He knowa ao little about church
government that he ruahea in where
angela dare not tread.
A body of membera deairing to or
ganizea Baptiat church ianot compelled
to get the church they leave to organ
ize them. Pleaae read Hiacox'a Bap?
tiat Church Directory.
One hundred diaaatiafied membera in
any Baptiat church are too many to re
maintherein. If thia ia not an "ap
parent neceaaity" then there never waa
one.
He ia jealoua of our paator's ability
and aucceaa. Shame on you to hate a
brother miniater becauae of hia scholar
ahip and ability!
Our paator ought to be commended
for accepting our call, rather than con
demned. Few men with hia qualinca
tiona are ao aelf-aacrificing. He placea
the croa8 above the dollar. An evil
mind, auch aa youra, will auppoae
wrong.
We ahow more common aense than
Rev. Waahington, in that we want a
paator who haa acholarahip and ability
to lead ua. He not only poaaea8ea theae
qualitiea, but he ia a gentleman. Both
white and colored will tell you thia.
During the nine yeara he haa been here
he haa lived above auapicion.
Why do you make thia uncalled for
attack on our paator? Are you the
same Rev. Waahington who waa sus
pended from the Virginia Union Uni
veraity for conduct unbeeoming a gen
tleman? Our pastor graduated with
honor from the above school. You did
not. Why?
We know with what Chriatian forti
tude our pastor haa labored here. If we
miatreat him as he haa been mistreated
then we ahall not blame him for leav
ing. "There ia a limit at which for
bearance ceaaea to be a virtue."
| Your deciaion doea not bind the Bap
tiat hoata of tbia State. We ahall atill
puraue the even tenor of our way. Our
church has already been aaked to unite
withseveral aasociationa.
Anent our pastor leaving ua, he re
ceived laat Monday a letter requesting
him to conaider a call to a church in the
weetern part of thia State, which givea
a paraonage and paya $700 per year.
He haa deciincd to conaider the call,
preferring to remain our pastor. He
will ahow thia letter to you or any of
your frienda.
Thia enda the controversy ao far aa
we are concerned. Let ua have peace.
