A Slander Rebuked.
It is ahnonl a mania with the
average latter day evangelist to
denounce the social life of the
community in which he hap¬
pens to be preaching, and hej is
sails the young folks who dance
and the people who go to thea¬
tres in the- severest terms.
Sometimes his zeal overleaps
his diseresiou, and instead of do¬
ing good he only arouses the
indignation of good people. This
happened to Rev. Sam Small in
Griffin last week. In a sermon
he made some most outrageous
charges, reflecting upon several
young ladies in that c ty. The
charges were false, ^and Griffin
became stirred up over it as she
has' never been before, A com¬
mittee of gentlemen w aited on
Mr. Small and demanded the
authority upon which he based
his charges. An investigation
that followed satisfied Mr. Small
that the information upon which
he had made ’the charges wcs
slanderous, and in his Sunday
sermon he made a public ac¬
knowledgement of the faet.
Mr. Small’s prompt acknowl¬
edgement was creditable to him,
but much harm had already
been needlessly done and much
feeling engendered in the
community. One well known
young man whose name had
been dragged into the matter
by Mr. Small published a -card
the Griffin papers Sunday,
denouncing the evan¬
as a “ liar and slanderer
the deepest dye. ”
The young men of Griffin are

and- manly manner in which
met aud answered the
and Rev. Sam Small
will doubtless carry away'with
a lesson which may he of
