AN EXPLANATION
Having been asked so many times
in the past few years ray reason
for leaving Ozias church by indi
vidual*, also questioned by many
of my friends in regard to the mat
ter, and having heard, so many
things said about myself that was
not true and that was damaging to
my name, I have concluded to give
the facts to the public in a con
densed way, hoping at a later date
to give the details in pamphlet
form to those who might be
interested. And to make it as
brief as possible, will refer you to
a letter of explanation which I
wrote Concord church in Jasper
county and Lebanon church in
Henry county, J being pastor of
these churches at the time of my
withdrawal, they demanding of me
the explanation, and which I wish
to say whs accepted by both
churches unanimously.
Following is the letter to these
churches, which is self-explanato
ry, and the reason T gave them I
felt at the time was sufficient for
my Withdrawal, and I'still continue
to feel that way :
To the Primitive Church at
Dear Brothers and Sisters :
dn compliance with your request
that I give you my reason for with
drawing my membership from your
sister church at Ozias,. Henry Co.,
Ga., 1 beg to submit the following
reasons: On the 18th day of April,
1914, Brother J. F. Willingham, who
is a member of Ozias cl urcb, came
to me at the church house and said
that he wanted to make an ac
knowledgement to the church. I
asked what he had done that he
wanted to make acknowledgement
for. He said that he and his son,
Hen had a little difficulty a day be
fore. 1 told Bro. Willingham that
if it. whs just a little private diffi
culty between him and his son. I
did not think it necessary to tak
his private family troubles into the
church, but he could make his ac
knoweledgments for having done
wrong, and leave the matter with
the'church. He did and was for
given by the church Some days
later 1 learned that instead of Bro.
Willingham and bis son having a
little private difficulty, that Bro.
Willingham had shot his - son twice
with a shot gun, and that lie re
loaded his gun to shoot his smi
again. The matter being so dif
ferent from what I first supposed
that it was, I'went to sec Bro.Wil
lingham in regard to the report.
He said the report was true that
lie did shoot his son. i told him
that I as an, individual member oi
Ozias church, couid not fellowship
him with the offense as it stood,
and gave him my advice as his pas-i
tor and Bro. in the church, and
that in my opinion the best thing
for him ami for the church, would
be for him to go hack to the church
and make a lull, complete state
ment of all the faors in the case i
and make his acknowledgement in
full to, the church and leave the
matter with them. He said Thai
lie would accept my advice, and lie'
asked me t. ask the church at its
next con! ere nee in May, l;>14, to
please re.-eiml their acts of torgive
ne.-s to him. and that he would
come to the church as soon as he
confd and make a full ami complete
statement of the difficulty between
him ami his son. and would he wil
ling to abide the action of the
church. When the church met in
conference in mav, l!*i 4. 1 made a
statement to the church in Bro.
Willingham s behalf, suiting 1 be
lieved he Came to make a full stati -
mentof the matter, bul 1, believing
that it was only a private and small
matter, 1 told him lie need not do
so. The church accepted the state
ment m my behalf, and Bro. Wil
lingham. Then 1 asked the church
in behalf of Bro, Willingham s re
questxto rescind their act of for
giveness to him, and that lie would
come as soon as he could, and make
a full con!e-sh n to the church a. d
willingly ai id.* by tiff* cations ut
the church. Bro. A. C. Elliott ob
jected to the church rescinding
their act. am' moved that the ac
tion of the church stand, but grant
Bro. Willingham lea\e to come to
the church and make such ac
knowledgements as he saw fit. The
motion was.carried In the Dee
conference Bro. Willingham had
not come to the church. A Cun
mi t tee was aup 4r. ted to call on him
to asci Train why he had not come
to the ehmch At the .tan. confer

was to rescind their ac ion, he be
ing present to give him an oppoi
tunitv to make a full statement . f
the above offense. Tiie request
was denied and the 'motion lost, I
then feeling that the church fit
ozias had whollv igrnored and re
fused to execute all scriptural and
orthoTb x ]>i ineiples of discipli n, hv
refusing to investigate thc.-nughly i
the offense of Bro. Willingham, to
ascertain whether or not the scrip
