our hotels for the purpose of obtaining
board dgring the summer. We would
be glad to see both our hotelp filled
during the summer months with guests

cheap and how well they could live up

among us. We .have pure air, pure

DISCUSSION.
We publish iu another coluni what
the Rev, Dr, Underwood calls ‘•some o!
his reasons' 1 why he declares that union
meetings are a curse. If he has not
got bottled up some better ones thau
these wo think ho had as well quit.
But he says “to -be continued,” and
hence we suppose he has some more of;
the same kind.
As to ihe reasons the Dr. has given,
we do not deem them of sufficient ,im
portance to answer at this time: but we
think his article entitled to a little ex¬
amination. Be sets out with the asser¬
tion tbaCbe will ‘'not indulge in personal
flings/’ aqd does not get far before ho
talks of “ministers so called, 1 ' and.inti¬
mates that the ministers engaged in the
Gaiusville meeting secretly argreed to
hold back a part of the truth. Now we
think this is a “personal fling’’at the
ministers engaged in this meeting, and
the assertion not sustained by any evidence
at all. If the ministers did this thing,
let us have the evidence Dr, The Dr.
says thqt these “so called ministers'’
always go .into such agreements. Make
your assertions true Dr., and we will
believe them.; otherwise we shall not.
We are, however, inclined to the
opinion that a number of ministers fail
to declare the whole Gospel. Spmo be
cause they do not know it, others be

and no one has a right to say that there
was not, it mqst have been through the
agenev 01 the Holy Spirit, and blas¬
phemy agginit the work of the Holy
Spirit shall not be forgiven: not in this
world nor in the world to come, See
tbe 31st and 32ml verses yf t|je 12th
chapter of St. Mathew:
“Wherefore 1 say unto you. £},! man¬
ner of sin and blasphemy shall bo for
given unto men: but the blasphemy
against forgiven the unto Holy Ghost shall not be
men.
And whosoever speaketh a word
against, the son of man, it shall bo for¬
given him: but whosoever ' speaketh
against, the Holy Ghost, it shall not be
this world, nei¬
ther in the world to come.’’
The following paragraph was publish¬
ed in the “Sonny South” while the
Gainsville meeting was in progress, and
shows what was thought of the tesults
of the great outpouring of the Holy
Spirit.
“God ja doing a wondorful work in
Gainsville just now. The revival con¬
tinues. The methodise church will not
bold all the people who are anxiously
listening to catch some word of encour¬
agement from the leader of the meet¬
ing. Every business house, even the
bar rooms, closes up promptly at half
past nine o’clock in the morning for one
hour. It.is believed there is not apian
or woman in the town who is not touch¬
ed by the influence of the Holy Spirit.
From one to twenty five souls are con
verted at each meeting. The town
has been divided into wards and a com
niittee of Christian ladies appointed to
v ' sit every house and ask people to come
i ° ut t0 the meetings, and to pray for a
baptism of the Holy Ghost. The hard
i e8t cases in tbe town are being reached,
l A better revival was neyer seen ”

.1 Ir. Editor: As you seem certain
[ am acquainted with the rules of de¬
bate. and I am certain that I am a
gentleman, I now proceed to makegood
my assertion that Union Meet ings, such
as the “Gainesville Meeting.” is a curse held
to tbe community in which they are
In doing this, I shall not indulge in
personal flings at any one. I shall leave
that to those who have no other weapon
to use. and the inclination to do so. I
write with ill will to none and love for
all persons, but with hatred to false¬
hood, ei.p dully in matters pertaining
to religion and the great, truths of the
same. (L will here state for your
formation that since the publication of
my first letter to you, I ha ye been res
eeiving letters from prominent Baptist
ministers saying that my assertion was
true, tendering to me their sympathy )
Our blessed "K.uipemer.” before he went
to His Father, said to His Church, “Go
ye and teach all nations, teaching them
to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded yo and lo, I am with you
alway, even unto the end of the world.”
All professed Christians admit that this
13 the comtnisg on under which all the
true ministers of the gospel go forth to
proclaim the gospel ,t > too world. The
Gospel may be d lined generally to be
good news. .Yet the gospel is made up
of great truths, such as the truth or
doctrine of s notification, justification,
adoption, the security of the saints, etc.
The minister or preacher is restricted
by this commission to teach all things
commanded, .therefore ho must not
teach anything that is not commanded,
if he does he is in rebellion to (/rid.
Now for Ministers, so .called, to secretly
agree, uppn .certain occasions, as they
always dp when they go into those
union .meetings, such as the Gainesville
Meeting, not .t > teach certain doeti ines
that they believe to be part of the gos
pe 1 , for the purj o e if pleasing men.
then they cease to be the servants of
God. For Paul says that if 1 “jet
please meu then am I not the servant
of God.” And Paul "eeitifies the Gos¬
pel which was preached of him is not
after man ” Now can it be truthfully
said that meeting together of men who
willfully keep back a part of the gospel
in these union meetings prove to be a
blessing to the community in which
they are held,” nay verily, but a curse,
for .the reagor, tho Gospel is not .preach¬
ed at them. God has paid that “if the
truth shall make you free you shall be
free indeed 1 ’ You wiii see that it is
liotpcift of the truth that frees but ihe
truth. “Tby word is truth” The
Gospel is his word. Now brother Bap¬
tist do you ever, in these meetings say
one word about yijf great truth the
security of the saints? or do you tell
the young convert what is Baptism ?
Y T ou do nor. Why you are afraid that
you will offend man, and are you not yet
serving man? Now-brother methodist
do you say one word against that
dangerous doctrine as you ttiiuk itas,
of once in grace always in grace, why
do you not? beciuge you are affraid
that you will offend man. Have you
not learned that the-fear of man bring
eth apnare. Now brother Presbyterian
will you bold forth iu one o,f these uoion
meetings those great cardinal doctrines
of the Gospel, “predestination uncoti
ditional election” of a definite number
of “Adams'/ race to grace aud glory.
You will not, why, you are seeking to
please men; if not yog are affraid that
you will injure your standing in the
meeting. In Heavens name what is the
prico.of truth? that men should agree
under theyarb of Ministers of the Gospel
to thus hide it and keep it back. Look
to tbe case of Ananias and his wife,
they kept back that which was of in¬
finite less value than gospel truth.
Now we ask cau it be possible for meet¬
ings that are held as they say that tipey
are held for the purpose of preaching
the gospel prove a blessing to the com¬
munity when not one of the preachers
feel free to preach what he thinks is
the whole gospel ? These are some of
the reasons why I think these meetings
are a curse to the coramuuiiv iu which
they are held. Iu this opinion I am
not alone as you assert hut scores of
Baptist in this country believe tho same
thing, and thousands in these United
States are with me in this opinion, mon
who are giants in intellect and models
of Christian piety. As you can see if
you will read our denominational papers
such men as J. M. Wood, James Pendle¬
ton, the now suiDted Dayton was of the
same opinion and Humphrey Posey;
time would fail me to give even a moity
of their names for they are many. For
your own benefit you should read a lit¬
tle Baptist history. If you have it not
at hand. I see you exchange with the
Baptist Banner” published at Cum
ming Ga.. look at it a little and you wifi
see that the editor is with me in the
opinion that those meetings are a curse,
ic may be that you send, it out of your
office and do not read it much, is this so?
