LETTER IS DESTROYED.
TIjo Raleigh Minister Having
Jioen Requested by the Editor
of the News fe Observer to
, Write hia Views, Writes Them.
Nothing of recent happening
lias mora clearly shown the des
peration of the democratic party
and its disposition to catch ".at
straws anything . but of which
it could make capital against the
populists than the manufactured
thunder which ttie leaders of the
forlorn hope have attempted to
make of a ncklcss remark of Dr.
Cy Thompson at the alliauce pic
nic at ; Carey some weeks ao.
The Rktoicdkis, like the rest of
newfpnper readers in North Caro
lina, is heartily tired of all the
scnwless and ; imuie platitudes
which have tilled the columns of
the democratic- pres and for
which Dr. Thompson'' alleged re
mark lias furnished, the text.
But now that the question has
grown to uch proportions we
think it proper to keep history
straight by giving both sides
that of the church and thi press.
Under date of Sept 17th, Jo
scphus Daniels, of the News &
Observer, wrote to Rev. C. Dur
ham, a prominent Baptist minis
ter of Raleigh, asking his views
on thi; subject with the intention
of publishing. In compliance
with his request, Mr. Daniels re
ceived the following:
Jobephcs Damels, Editor,
Kaleigh. N. C,
Dear. Sir: Your letter bas
just been received.
i on will, therefore. 1 suppose,
allow me. without any thouzht
of discourtesy to you or Dr.
Thompson, to reply just as I feel
the occasion demands. ,
1. I do not know what you
and Dr. Thompson call "the
Church," and am of the opin
ion that neither .ot you know
wnat you mean by it.
2. Whether Dr. Thompson's
condemnations of 'the Church"
will do more to "bring the
Church into disrepute" than
your defence of it in "the News
at Observer" will do, is, per
haps, an open question.
3 It is true, I think, that
the clergy, if by the clergy you
mean the preachers in the vari
ous religious denominations in
the state, do not need to be told
by the News & Observer what
they should "rebuke."
4. It is doubtless a matter of
supreme indifference to most
right minded people who take
the Bible to' their guide, what
you or Dr. Thompson think, or
say, or write and print upon
this subject.
5. The roan who. in an ad
dress to the people of North
Carolina, declares the Church
to day stands where it always
stood, on the side of human
slavery and not on the side of
human liberty. ' and then in a
three column explanation does
not define what he means by
"Saved My Life"

C. The ckrgy in North Car-
olina are not a set of holy nood
les, or sanctified doodles, to be
frightened on the one side by a
reckless statement of. an Ons
low doctor, or humbngged ,on
the other side by the insidious
plans of a political editor. - -
7. Dr lbompsou, in bis
statement which you publish,
nowhere say a that he said in

condemnations n r doea it need

Remember too Joe. you returned
from Washington City "to save
the State," and not "the
Church;" sod yon haven't saved
the State yet.
You had better tret through

C. DCBHAlf.
This letter never appeared in
the News & Observer, so was
printed later "in the Progressive
Farmer and the Caucasian. Com
menting on it, the Reidsville lie-
view, one of the leading democrat
ic papers of the state, which, by
the way, inaugurated and appar
ently has charge of the Jule Carr
boom for governor, says:
"Mr. Daniels did right to con.
sum the contemptible communi
cation to the wastebaelet, and
had there been, any since of de
cency and propriety in the mind
of the author to assert itself no
on mature reflection he would
have rejoiced that the produc
tion had been suppressed. But
taking an unnatural and un
christian prid in the paternity
of the article becausejit was fill
ed with "malice and all tmcbar
itableness" he bad it printed in
the Progressive Farmer and the
Caucasian. We have always
regarded the Rev. Dr. Durham
as an intolerant, overbearing.
insufferable bigot, thoroughly
besotted with bis own opinions,
and with no respect for those
of other people. No wonder
that mockers and scoffers point
at the church In derision and
call it the enemy 4t liberty
when it holds up the hands of
such petty, vulgar, seiriBb auto
crats as the Rev. Dr. Durham."
However contemptible' the
Reidsville Review might have
considered the communication of
Rev, Dr. Durham, his criticism of
the minister was, in the opinion
of this paper, in no better if not
worse taste. As Mr. Daniels had
requested tho letter, he should
have prinied it, no matter how
hard it hit him personally. If he
could not answer the attack, then
he was simply admitting that
what the minister said was true
and he was afraid to give it pub
licity. A man who is in the "re
huking business," as farmer joe
dsnlels is, and bas 111 for so
long, should Not mind being him
self rebuked orcawioually, or at
least able to cross swords with a
rival rehuk it, such as Dr. Dur
ham has proven himself to he.
v How is it that our Chapel Hill
subscribers do not receive the Re
corder? Several complaints
have corre to us during the past
week. Will Colonel Kirkland
kindly investigate the matter?

It may be all right to build big
churchescostly structures-finish
them inside with plush and velvet,
have grand music and manyush-
ers,and sell pews high for cash
but somehow or other it was al
ways my opiuion that Christ at
tempted to teach humility. He
rodeau ass from Jerusalem and he
never Attempted to hold a meeting
in Solomon's palace or the temple,
although Cod bad been given the
wonderful building from Solomon
ss his on earthly house. We
see today, to ray mind, too much
style for religion, as we would read
r.'ligion in, the New Testament
The poor man feels his poverty.
Say whatever you want, but a
rugged coat or an out-of-style dress
makes a man or woman feel that
they are uncomfortable. They do
not want to apear in public in
such garments that is, in the
fashionable public, where there is
so much purple and fine linen.
Accordingly he person who
should hear the teaching of Cb-ist
discussed listen to the voice of God
as read by the ordained one from
the holy book, never have that op
portunity these days while the rich
and well-to-do those who know
what is right and have no press
ing need to sineeem to go in
for style and fashion in the church
the same as they do in the ball
room. The church of today, no
matter how fastidious it may grow,
will always wield an influence for
good; it upholds and teaches the
moral law: it is a restraint against
evil and a wonderful help for
good-but, as I was saying, it seems
to me it could be improved if it
would humble itself a little more
and come down to a level where
alt the neighbors could go. In
the architecture of churches now
adays there seems to be the same
desirene to outdo the other.
There is enough money thrown
away in the building of spires and
domes and new fangled rorfs in
the churches of America today
to build houses for a colony of
50,000 people who have been shiv
ering in their hovels. It is all
wrong, to my way of thinking,
but as the majority of those who
build them and pay for them dif
fer, of course it is none of my
basiness; yet a fallow likes to
speak bis mind occasionally, even
if he knows he is making a fool of
himself. Let the poor man and
woman have a chance to worship
Clod. Have a temple of worship
where they will not feel strangely
out of place and where they will
feel welcome and at home. It will
add to the sum of human joy, and
there is no mistake about this.
