Then Wilmington Messenger has thiaj
to Sav in a recent, issue in describing
the seaich for an kiffeneder
"Finally, the chief, who -is thorough-
ly familiar with every nook and. path
in this vicinity, decided to go 'after
'Captain Tom to assist him. After rig-j.
ging himself! out in a iinen duster,, be-t
spatjtered i With mud; , and , much the
worse for wear, apd ian old slouch hat;
he hired a horse and put out for East
Wilmington. Astride? of the horse the
chief clad in his disguise, resembled
a circuit rider- preacher." (
The Methodist circuit i rider ! is the
hero of Methodism. , Through the- fire
ao,d : flood ot over a: century , hehas
cleared thet w ay for the advanlj of our
victorious .church, i ;The page o& ihistory
is resplendent with thei light tof his
consecrated valor. ,Out in th& dark
ness and storm he presses his way to
the ramparts, of sinJ The one earthly
name: enshrined in. the hearts of the
millfons, who by happy firesides kneel
'ati thealtafs of Methodism, Is that of
th true Paladin of history the "cir.i
Vuit; rider." There Is pot a true man or
woman who will not resent the above
odious and slanderous i allusion, and
wonder at the prejudice or. ignorance,
which inspires it.-Chnstian Advocate.
1 The Messenger -had no-, Idea that it
had wronged either man. or the church
when the article commented upon was
published,: and Is utterly! dumbfounded
at the conception placed upon it by the
writer in the Christian Advocate.
We freely, acknowledge the, great
good the , circuit: ndetr has done not
only for his church, but for the spir
itual; good of man, and 'If it were pos
sibles in: any . way P to slur his char
acter we ; would not she base enough
to do so. inor was any attempt made
in - the article subject to such unjust
criticism. ; j l ' ' r - '
Now, to the Advocate writer: Was it
Christianlike for-; him to . characterize
the article in the manner in which he
did? Does U not show that he ia apt
to Jump at Conclusions,: "irrtake a moun
tain out of a mole hill," land is utterly
--incapable of being at all charitable. If
he jhad said .mat' tne arxicie spose
slightingly I of the circuit rider, then
wef would not have-taken; exceptions,
but would have plead, and rightly so
thoughtlessness on the part "of,- The
Messenger jwriterj and for : this , w;e
malte' amends. However,: our friend
sayu -it was) an "odious and slanderous
allusion," 1 which we denounce as un
true. This shows that he was speaking
about the shabby apparel mentioned in
our; article (and that he thinks consid
erable of the ijust of ithis world, con
siderable jnore than he does of Chris
tianity. I '.!-'' :
