The wedding of Mies Charlott Strickland and Mr. Garnet McAfee Puett last Wednesday evening was a brilliant event in the eocial life of Cumming. The ceremony, which was per formed most impressively by Rev. L, A. McLaughlin at the First Methodist Church, was followed by an elegant reception at “Mag nolia Hill,” the home of the bride. The decorations at the Church were elaborate and beautiful. Gor geous autumnal foliage was en twined with vines around the walls and chancel, and handsome ferns were used in profusion about the altar. An arch of many hued au tumn leaves and vines spaned each aisle and the pulpit had a back ground of the same foliage arrang ed en masse. Just before the bridal party en tered the church the musical pro gratne began. Mrs. Charles Har ris, accompanied on the piano, Miss Marde'le Estes who sweetly sang “All For You” and “I Love You Only.” Then to the strains of Lehengrins Wedding March the party advanced to the altar.

As the benediction was concluded Mendelssohns march was begun, the bridal party ar.d guests marched out. and taking automobiles repaired to “Magnolia Hill,” where the reception was given. Here, as at the church, the color scheme yellow and white was used in every detail and a beautiful mus ical programe was rendered by Mrs Anna J, Bell. The bridal party formed a receiving line for congratulations in the east room, and here also was placed the Bride’s Book in which each guest •wrote their name.

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. The tailor is added to the list of missionaries to Africa. So when the dentists have their teeth, and Dr Green has put in the glass eye. then the M D gives them physic, then the tailor fits Cuff up with his linen tailor-made clothes, and immediately cuff makes for the bushes-his home.. Those auxiliaries and adjuncts: collect for this purpose. I have now on hand and coming in the next lew days, three car loads ol buggies of different makes; one car load' of iutmture just coming in; one car load White Hickory wagons, one and two horser: a good lot Bagwell & Gower one and two horse wagons..

Some good sewing machines. In fact nearly ev erything you need in your house. Floor Coverings : f have a good lot of art squares and rugs of the best makes.
