were elaborate and beautiful. Gor

and here also was placed the

GUMMING, GA NOVEMBER 8 1911
CHARGES PROVEN.
F. H. TALLANT,
Dear Bro. Wills:- I shall prove
in this chapter that those board
made Baptist bishops exercise
more authority over churches and
members than regular Episcopal
bishops and that against the pro
test of the churches.
The fact of the businers is, a
baptist is a dangerous oid thing
when he is set up with power o
ver the churches of Jesus Christ.
See Min, Conv. 1905, p 85.
“We had the church call a quasi
native pastor.”
See Minutes 1907, page 98.
“Two small churches revolted
against the work of the mission
ary society and were excluded
from our fellowship, Do you see
the point Bro. Wills? The Bap
tist bishop expels churches be
cause they revolt against a soci
ety. Yet they claim the society
is under the church,
See 1907 page 99, Report.
“For the past year this church
has been in the hands of a native
pastor, who used h‘s influence to
destroy the work, not only in this
church, but in the whole mission
he led off a group with him but
they promptly excluded him. Bro
-Wills this pastor revolted against
the bishop, and thi bishop turned
him and his followers out of a
Baptist church. See Baptist Po
sition in chapter first.
See Minutes 1907, page 100.
“Fifty were expelled,” If you
will notice carefully in this in
stance the pastor was fighting e
piscopacy, and the bishop expell
ed all who followed him for
church independence,
See Minutes 1907. page 119.
“The Panindicurio church was
transferred to the Leonfield,”
Bishops t.ransfer?churches.
ee 1907, p 127 s B Con Report
“On my arrival here (Mexico)
my experience with the native
preacher was like that of the
loved apostle with Diotrephes.”
Through his influence some dis- 1
cord spread both in the church
and in the school. I then took
personal charge (not official) of
all services. I had to expel two
girls and suspend four others, all
baptists, among them the preach
er’s daughter. Since then we
have had no trouble. We have
matters in hand in Satillo now
better than for years.”
You see Bro. Wills, this board
made Baptist bishop arrived on
the field. The native preacher
did not like his interference.
This caused discord and then the
Baptist bishop expelled two and
suspended four-all baptists.
There now is your baptist preach
er of a higher order. Call him a
bishop if you desire or call him an
appointee of the board, if you
please, but this despot whatever
he be takes personal charge of a
baptist church and expels and
suspends members at his pleas
ure. I repeat it says episcopal
bishops never tasted such author
ity. They provide appellate
courts.
It is strange to me that preach
ers who are whooping up those
bo*rd auxiliaries and trying to
hook on to the tail end of this
board procession don’t sign the
rules and let the board make
them a bishop and go to Mexico
and be somebody.
Having proved our charge by
the Convention Minutes, now let
us prove it by those who have
hau to bow to this episcopal sys
tem. Let us prove it by the na
tive pastor and members who’ve
been driven about by the board
made bishops.
Hear L. M. Galassi a native
pastor of Italy, who has been a
faithful pastor for over 20 years.
Galassi has been moved and re
moved by the board bishops a
gainst the protest of the church.
I will give you some extracts
from the pen of Galassi in which
he addresses tne baptist breth
ren of America, as follows;
Dear brethren; I have thought
it right to let you know some
thing as to the work of the bap
tist mission which has been go
ing on for so many years In Italy
that you might judge the value
of the system adopted by mis
sionaries of the Baptist Conven
tion. Theite are now in Italy 3
missionary men and three mis
sionary women. I can no'; tell ex
actly what sum of money is re
ceived for their stay in Rome but
doubtless it must be a considera
ble amount. I am writing the
perfect truth and that in the e
v&ngelization of Italy.
Hear Bro. Galarsi further.
These missionaries are not pas
tors, they have no church to lead
and feed. They seldom evange
lize. Sometimes when they visit
a church they speak a few words
or make a short speech. They
are not pastors but over them
and over churches. They take e
vangelists, place them, change
them, send them away, without
being controlled by any church.
Hear Galassi further: It is a
sad but true fact that to day a
mong the baptist of Italy, after
40 years, there is not one church
that is really of the apostolic type
(form) The apostolic churches
because of their freedom exer
cised a marvelous influence. In
the baptist church at Rome D G
Whittinghill exercised an episco
pal authority. On account of my
firm opposition to such system,
which is against the baptist prin
ciples, the missionary Whitting
hill ordered my going away to
Genoa. The congregation pro
tested. Every protest is useless,
said the bishop.
Here I close this part of the
charge.
When you were practising law
you would not have wanted a bet
ter case than I have presented,
would you Bro. Wills? Those
bishops plead guilty, then those
against whom they had trespass
ed proved them guilty. The mis- j
sionary ladies, says Galassi, are
also paid but they do nothing for
missions. They have a_ meeting
of women as often as possible.
They never teach in Sun. school,
they do not visit the sick, and I
never saw a person won to Christ
by their means. I think that
such missionaries be not neces
sary says Galassi.. Any pastor
desiring more information on the
Galassi matter drop me a card,
and I will pay for and have sent
to you “Plain Truth Magazine”
showing up the whole affair. I
have not space.
Somebody is gettin g powerful
‘skert’ tor fear F H will become
mighty little respected,., and be
the loser of some great opportu
nities in life. Bless your soul my
friend, I’ll never cover up or
conceal the truth to protect a
mass of denominational corrup
tion, deception, despotism and
fanaticism. No sir, i hope I am
not built that way. Christ called
his followers sheep and you nev
er saw a sheep on the fence.. It
is goats that always occupy the
top rail. A sheep may be in or
out of the pasture but he is nev
er on top of the fence. But to
gain popularity let me refer you
to cat tail report 1910 page 170.

missionaries to Africa. So when
the dentists have their
teeth, and Dr Green has put in
the glass eye. then the M D gives
