| C. G. FAIT vs. R. FAUROE. ot ol - ¥ ‘A Ministerial Counselor With a Poor Memory. - Eprror BANNER:— Please permit me here to make a brief rejoinder to Mr. Faurot’s contradictions of my statement coneerning his action with me and the church. Mr. F. has not only contradicted me, but in so dading he has co\ntradiétgd’ ‘his own statements, which I wish now to notice.

Ist. I wish to show Mr. Faurot’s contradictory statements in reference to writing the.advice giyen in the letterread to the chureh, which letter was written four days after fully investigating the cause of the difficulty and having gained all the ‘information;hg; could from both Masons and anti-Ma= sons, and just after \vitilléssizng my trial in the church. His first (and true) reason given Jfor writing said advice is implied in the letter itself. In this letter, dated QOct. Ikt, 1873, he writes: “I have observed nothing' but malicious and unjust persecutionsg againgt you from the beginning. . ....

And when I se;e the 1-);ll'tiulit'y all on one side, I side at once with the wronged party.” He then goes en to advise me to call my persecutors to an nccbunt. So the above is the reason given at the time.for writing said advice, and the chureh so understood it when the Tetter was read there.

But Mr. Faurot’s reason given in his Jetter to the BANNER is, “Because he (Fait) told me he could not be heard iif the churdh.” = Which reason is the more plausible? The latter would be astonishing if true. Just think! An Evangelist states that he advised charges to be brought against fourteen or fifteen brethren because one aggrieved brother had told him he could not be heard in the chureh, and just after he had witnessed that brother’s trial and ‘hearing in the: chureh. i G e

2d. On hearing that. the masonic brethren svere so much offended at him on account of writing said advice as to refuse him the pulpit, he wrote, Nov. 21st: “I have not asked for the pulpit; -that is not my way of doing ' business,” while he had writen to me, about three weeks before: “I will write to Bro. Harris to-morrow for an exchange of pulpits, or to allow him to go to some other point if he prefers.” Ilis letter of about Nov. 3d states that he will write for the pulpit, and his brethren state that he did so write; yet his letter of Nov. 21st, now before me, denies asking for it, and says that is not his way of doing business. These contradictions are ’M‘iélilsi\'e evidence that Mr/ Faurot's ‘po‘m'-memory has been the chief cause 501’ his é(,);'xtr;ulietion of mnytzlt('mon%S. | - 3d. Mr. Faurot on his last visit'to Lignljior came to me to get his first | letter of advice for a specific purpose, | and after securing his pledge (before | the parties mentioned in my former article) to return the letter, or a copy of it, I gave it to him. llad henotso promised, I never should have given | him the letter, In his article to the BANNER he feigns a distinction l)e-f tween a pledge and a promise, but de- .‘ nies making either before getting the f letter. One of the parties before whonm this pledge, or promise, was | made is now in the West, but the other twa (Mr. and Mrs. Marker) have * both told me sinee the appearance of TFaurot’s article, that he (Faurot) did ‘ promise to return the letter or a copy, ’ 'before getting it. ‘ | 4th. Mr. Faurot also denies stating, eith'e’r by word or letter, that T. had f any right to a further hearing in-the | church. But I can prove that he did i so advise me, both personally and by | letter. He told me, personally (Oct. | 20th, or 21st) that if he had been at | _iny last church trial he would not{ have permitted the decision to have been given so; that there was no just l or scriptural cause’ for my exclusion, and tliat the decision must be reversed, . Two withesses inform me that he told | them the same., I will confront Mr. i Faurot with these witnesses, to prove his memory poor in reference to this | matter, if he will come to Ligonier. T | also have one letter of advice, which | I presume he has ere this f.orgotten,l of having written, dated Nov. 21,1873, which contradicts his statement under ‘ consideration. I will quote a sentence or two: “You, or any il)enlber, have a right to prefer charges (against my persecutors) and be heard by a suitable tribunal, and I ‘certainly should.” This letter has no allusion to me being bound to accept the concession' he had written. No intelligent. person would wunderstand it to | demand any such thing. Neither did | he intimate anything of the kind to me personally, at any time, until after his last visit, and after making his own confession for writing me the advice he did, when he told me, just before __lezw'iug for home, that he could not ask the church to give me a rehearing without my acceptance of the concession asyhe wrote it. I asked him why Le did not tell me this sooner—before we had written out the! charges and gone so far in this matter. But he answered not a word.’ . bth. Mr. Faurot acknowledges éhat some interlining, comments, etc., were to accompany the demanded conces‘sion, but denies that any conditions were violated when the church decided by a vote of the body that the ~originally written part of said paper "iﬂﬁﬁﬁmﬁﬁ published as the concession, ‘Wwithout note ot comment. Why were m?}isgmfmﬁm;émmdedv; from accom_banying this paper as agreed ?. If this had heen granted, I 'should have reil samﬂe&'l%;s'ﬁq my right. But Mx. F. ingists that my. explanations and commierits - were allowed. ‘They were allowed Just as ‘s’ well-

known' criminal’s excuse is allowed before an honest tribunal. Yes, this church tribinal was gracious enough to tolerate, or allow, the utterance of my comments and explanations and the reading of some interlinings; and in this sense alone the interlinings, comments, ete., were allowed, but in no other. g

r Now, every intgélligent person can See that when the church decided by _a vote to publish the originally written part of said statement as the -eoncession, it did transcend the agreement according to Mr. Faurot’s own admission, even in his letter to the BANNER. He may deny that such a ‘vote was taken, but before doing so he shioald consult some of hiis brethren who may have a better memory than ‘his own. - I e " 6th. I have amost vivid recollection of Mr. Faurot coming to me and stating to me that he had agreed with brother Harris to write out his (Faurot'sj yiews of the church difficulty here for publication in the Cynosure, and ynless I could sign the demanded concession he would have to publish nie as unwilling to accept a fair proposition, which, with the following, were the greatest incentives offered: “Brother Richmond gave his consent that you ought .to sign this concession; that he will not stand by you in caseyou do not.” . ‘But brother Richmond hag denied from the first that he ever authorized any such statement. I am willing to admit that such a.contradiction as this is more likely to have originated from a misunderstanding than anything else, ,and have only mentioned the fact to show the inducements held out to get me to accept the demanded concession. Every person must judge for himself whether these inducements were proper or not. . ! fo |

Tth. Did M. F. ever demand that I should make a conecession "because 1 was in the wrong and my persecutors right? No. . lle told me repeatedly that he did not doubt but that the article written by me to the Cynosure, ‘and which created a demand for said concession, was every word true. Ie told this also to others, and I ean confront him' with witnesses to p‘rove 1t He said, however, my communication was a little too harsh; that the truth is sometimes better kept than told, ete. But he insisted then, as he may yet, that the concession demanded no sacrifice of principle and, therefore, I ought to see that. it was just and right to make it.- He admitted that the czhlu‘ch had not taken a seriptural course with me in trying to make reconciliation. Ie intimated to others, as well as to myself, that his main objeect in asking me to make the demanded concession was to hold my position in the chugeh, not for any wrong that I had done, and any intelligent, person would understand his letters\gf Oct. Ist; Oct. 20th, and Nov. 21st, to carry the ‘same idea throughout. ; " Bth. Mr. Faurot-asks me to show wherein said concession is incorrect. I will answer, just so much as conflicts with the statement made in my communication to the Cynosure which created the demand for said concesston, and just so much as‘ would convey a different idea by being shorn of the comments, explanations, ete., offered on the night of the trial and which it was presumed slb‘lould aceoin-

pany said- concession. - 9th. Mr. Faurot also denies that he agreed to present charges against my persecutors with his own hands. Ile might as truthfully have denied ever coming to Ligonier. My advice to the brethren feeling themselves aggrieved was, to peacetully withdraw. Dut M. Fvaurof urged an appeal, or re-hearing, :uid agreed to take charge of the case.. He also advised me to assist the aggrieved brethren in drawing up the complaint; “and when everything is ready,” he added, “I will present the charges to the officers of the church with my own ha,nds,’.’, _Had he not so advised, the clmrgegzigainst my accusers would nev'g:‘r have been drawn up and sent to himn for his advice and revision and again returned'in his own hand-writing. - ; ' 10th. Mr. F. insinuates that he was not paid for his services as Counselor according to promise. ' Although Mr. F. admits that he did not act in my interest any more than that of my accusers, yet 1 entertained him while with me, as well ias miy limited means would allow, and handed him a five- . dollar greenback, -telling him that if he wanted Ipore to say how much and I would pay him at another time. IHe repliéd: “This is enough, thank you, for you to give. The church authori‘ties say I have done a great thing for the church,” ete.,- and intimated that if they appreciated his services as they expressed themselves, they might add something. * If Mr. Faurot was nof satisfied with w}}nt I handed him, his words were at variance with .his desires. As to his second trip, he certainly was entitled to no pay, as he did not do as was expected he would nor as he agreed to do. He came here to make his ovn concession and to set himself right before gslr’qu";lmrch, agreeably to his statement fo the church, and not to call the secret church clique to justice as he had agreed. = . . If Mr. Faurot denies tlie statements herein given, I propose to confront him, if he will come to Ligonier, with the witnesses referred to. ' I have [ SOO s ep et OVE Famre

About Jonah and the Whale. 4 : KENDALLVILLE, Jan. 81 EDITOR BANNER:—Was Jonah in the whale's belly at all? = This is a grave question; a question of moment to every father, mother, brother, sister, daughter and son in the city, and in fact, the country at large. . I am pleased to |learn from the different journals that the remorseless scientist has at last heen taken in hand and Ireated in a manner that his iconoclastic propénsities merit. Ie has, as the readers of the BANNER well “knosfv, had his way too long, and it is fully time that he was brought up with a round turn. We read that one of this gentry, who makes Brussels his abiding 1)1:!(‘(” recently ‘undertook to disprove the story about Jonah and the: whale, upon scientifie principles; but he soon brought a hornet’s nest about his ears, for the Academy of Stience of that city and the Professors have busied themselves about him and he is in a fair way to be excommunicated for his heretical testimonv. N

This is a matter of great importance, as we have said, for if the scjentist should prevail we shall be called upon to believe that Jonah could not live three days inside of a whale, and” come forth and preach with unwonted | vigor at the end of that time. "The learned oﬁ'ende‘r brought forth such a silly and obtuse argument as the fact, - that a whale’s throat is so small that ‘ aman could not pass down it, little thinking that this particufu‘r wh_ale-_i might have been d@bnormally devel- } oped in that respect. Then he spoke about the impossibility of a man living for three days without air or food, and maintained that if- hg‘had escaped drowning, he would: have been gtifled > o e

Are there, then, no such things as miracles? Is mot C. O. Myers Postmaster of the city of Kendallville ? and was n’t” Boss Tweed convicted and sent to prison from New York city for stealing? No! ho, this idea that to the pure all things are impossible—or words to that effect—is all wrong. We trust that the Academy of Science will not let this wretch escape without a stinging proof that will last him for the rest of his life, and that the Professors will never ‘l'est‘ until they have solemnly aflirmed, with all the earnestness they can f_EOﬂ}lﬂ:U]d, t;fmt this particular whale’s throat was jilst large enough to.swallow .loimh, :m_(q. that Jonah was so peculiarly constructed that food, air and'light were not necessary to his existence. That will settle the question forever, and prevent these scientific busy-bodies from pestering the correspondents of the BANNER so much, by treating their subjects from their abominable matter-of-fact point in view. ‘ : d SUBSCRIBER. e gL s Answer to “Rumbo.” - MR. EpITOR :—Permit me to correct a statement made in the BANNER of the 29th ult., by your Noblesville correspondent, in regard to the bridge near James Mullin's. He chatges that ‘the bridge is in an unfinished eondition and cannot be completed for crossing before sping. The facts are, the bridge was let to the undersigned and was finished so far as was necessary for travel, over five week ago. The grading at the ends of the. bridge was let to Dr. Gandy, who ]}als dong nothing at it yet. . Thus, you'see, it i for want of grading, and not finishing of the bridge, that prevents crossing upon it. ey | ; . Further, he says he does not blame, the men. who have: th§ job, hut those who hawve control of the building of bridges in the eounty. N ow, I think that a proper understanding of this [ matter will satisfy “Rumbo” that no one is to blaime. The old bridge was built nine years ago and was considered safe until about the first of October last, when Supervisor Mead, in removing the old plank with a view to replacing them with new, discovered that the timbers were rotten and notified the Commissioners of the fact. Mr: Whan, who had control of that ‘p:u't of the county, prbce_eded} to advertise the job, which was let about the 22d of October, to be completed by the 26th of November. Thus, you see, he used due-dilligence in the matter and cannot be held responsible for letting the contract so late in the seaSON. ; B e

I think after reading the foregoing: statement, “Rumbo” will take back his charges, publicly made. I take it that - he is an 'honorable man and weuld not knowingly make a false statement in any matter. - : ABEL MULLIN.5 ———R ¥ Cl—— £ Retired Politicians as Grangers.
