PLAIN TALK. Too Much Ado About Nothing Since Elder Thomas’ arrival the past, new in charge of the A. M. E. church o this city, there has been a growing tenden cy on the part of some of the members of the church, to extend to him a very Un christianly and cold reception. And we as defenders of right and justice, readily respond tn the rescue of this brother against whom they have no legitimate charge and summon his unchristianly army of accusers to trial, and when we brought them to trial, and inquired of them for what reason they had been so unjust in their condemnation and derision of the brother, they have no reason, but that “We wanted Elder Singleton back ” Now we would like to ask those incon sistent, one sided set of wranglers, who are directing this campaign of disSetUion and discord, whether you think it chris tianlv to despitefully tn atone for no other reason than that you like another better? and regardless of ycur vows and sworn allegience to the church and chistianity to boldly ass rt that you will not support him call yourselves men aud women, loyal to the chnrch and cause that you promised support and defend, and be guilty of such conduct. Do you know that the A M E churh change their preachers from timt to time in obedience to its governmene an] not for vague and selfish whims and fancies? Now, we admit to the fact the former pastor, Elder R. H. Singleton was of that type of a model Christian gentle man, is hard to be equaled and rarely ex celled and was our ideal preacher, but aside from that fact Elder Singleton could not plant himself in Gaines’ Chapel nor did he desire to do so, hence the change. He with regard to Christianity and the cause which he like you, have sworn allegiance before God and men, meekly bowed to rhe enevitable and goes merrily on fostering the cause of Christ, and by your actions have shown yourselves deser ters 'planing a campaign against its servant and fostering an evil design of robbiug God. Now heretofore, you have ' given liberally to the church, and if the ‘ motives which have prompted you to do so 1 were sincere and honest. The same op r portunity await you to continue your 1 loyalty to the church and the cause of I Christianity. They are still in your reach. they have’nt moved any where; but Gi bralter like; amid the storm of dissention and false epithets hurled at her, she aughs at weik and silly effort and prays 1 God to have mercy upon yon, for you know not what you are doing. COL. SISTRUNK LECTURE. During the able lecture by Col. Sistrunk Thursday evening, quite a concourse of feelings gathered in the rear of the church|building and while the Col. would be taking breath and clearing his throat, the pussies would encore him with a clamorous melody. We mean to say the cats serenaded tbe Col. and stimulated him to a dis solving of the race problem. TBS GAZETTE • tat loner y Department* ♦’TO ST"* Writing Ink. Fancy boxes Paper.' Fancy Envelopes.
