Jasper County Democrat, Volume 13, Number 51, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 October 1910 — TO THE ANONYMOUS LETTER-WRITER. [ARTICLE]

TO THE ANONYMOUS LET-TER-WRITER.

There came to my hand, in Friday's mail, an anonymous epistle, written with indelible pencil, to be read to the Ministers’ Association. Since the author failed to attach his or her name I shall not read it to them, neither can I answer it. •

It may be possible that the writer forgot to subscribe his name to the document; but. judging from the contents of the wonderful production. I am led to believe that the author was ashamed us it. and too cowardly to father or mother it. He or she claims to reside in the \\ est side of Rensselaer. I feel sure that no self-respecting resident of the W est side would be guilty of writing such a slanderous letter without having the manhood or womanhood to sign it.

If. however, the author is really anxious to receive answers to some of his questions, and is an honest seeker after light and truth, and will come to me personally, I shall be happy to render all the help in my power. I can not answer for the other pas tors of the town and the writer had better take his differences with him to them individually ; and I have no doubt he or she will receive the most courteous treatment. If he or she is unwilling to do this, then my reply to this anonymous writer is this: Like all anonymous letter-writ-ers. you are a coward. Cast out first the beam of cowardice out of thine own eye; and then thou shalt see clearly to cast out the mote of insincerely out of my eye. Yours for fair play in the open, —Rev. J. P. Green. Sec Ministers' Association.
