vention was harmonious and enthusiastic and the best feeling prevails. Thjtc- JoritNAi, of recent date, contained an article signed Church Member, replying to an article of previous date. Yoij should have signed your name, as we know no church member would sanction such chat. Now you have imported another man of your views, and when the meeting was at a close, the chairman, Mr. Philip Bruch, a man of precious memory, arose and in mumbled tone of ancient orgin. asked if any minister or anyone had any exceptions to make. Reverent W itherford. of Maee. arose, and demanded a few moments to speak, which was granted, lie challenged Mr. Stiner to debate which was accepted. The question was allirmcd that Christianity was and is degrading. Both men signed the contract and each lias a copy Now comes the said Philip and demands concessions, whereupon the preacher told him he had the contract and finding he could not get out of it he telegraphed the infidel not to come, and not satisfied with that he must tell over the country that Mr. Witherford would not debate. Mr. itherford was here and dares them to bring their man, and all saying that the minister failed to come up is bosh, and nothing in it. To the writer of the article of recent date, we will say you are well known, and farther we would say that it is just a little foxy in you. man of years and supposed better judgment, to palm off such a fishy tale upon the better class of people and sign your name Church Member, while you are not and never have been. Now it seems the facts are clearly shown and why continue your attack's upon the good people of this community.
