So Says Fastor LF, Armstroni
o! the McAdeovillt Methodist
Church Concerolol the Becent
, Denominational Controversy In
that Place. u : ; ;: v;;
To tna Editor of tha Oasetu: .
I believe the exaggerated ac
counts of t h e Mcburch row"
printed in last week's papers
call for a signed statement from
rue in order that Ihe world may
become acquainted with some
of the facts connected with .this
deplorable affair. 1
The first paragraph of an ar
tide printed in one of the county
papers of Friday would lead one
to believe that the whole trouble
started ' a few weeks ago when
the Methodists asked for a "di
vision of time" in a Baptist re
vival that they might' jointly
discuss toe doctrines that differ
entiate them. As a matter of
fact no such thing was ever
thought of for a', moment. -r. - -
The. following : will clear up
this I trujst: -'-'Bi-f 'k:----
About the first of March I an
nounced a meeting to begin in
my church the second Sunday in
April. ; Several weeks later the
Baptists' decided to conduct a
revival in f their church i too, be
ginning: one week earner, than
our. date, When I heard of the
probable conflict in dates I went
to a prominent member of the
Baptist congregation to see if
the matter could not be adjusted,
This, amounted to nothing and
the ; second Sunday in April
found a revival going on at both
churches. X went to jthe Baptist
pastor and ;' congregation ' and
suggested that this was "not a
g'opd way to impress the outside
world and knowing nothing bet
ter to do I urged that we have a
"union revival meeting," This
was met with a flatvdiscourteous
refusal. :However" this, I think:
did not cause .anydtsse'nsion,;,
The. next paragraph is also
very uniair to me -personally.
One might easily infer that for
the Methodist preacher to post
his seirnon subjects in McAden
ville would be to do a most un
usual thing; when as'a matter of
fact, I post the subjects of near
ly all my Sunday discourses and
invariably do so when preaching

The writer continues. "Every
body' was invited and of course
the J Baptists and Methodists
mingled," leaving the impression
that this is a frequent ; thin?i
though; ! ; am reliably informed
therehastbeen butt Very f little
" mingling".' of these congrega
tions in the past ten years. Tart of
the facts about the '"mingling"
follow: The congregation at the
Baptist church assembled for
preaching: - but ' theyi? were dis
missed by the pastor and he and
thev repaired -- to our church.
The disturbance of which the
world knows followed. Of that
I do not care to speak ' here and
now further . than to say-it was
shamefully bad. .: Now in" con
clusion I would say (and I speak
for the entire 'church) : We did
not provoke it; we did not court
it; we did J. everything; m oux
power to prevent it. .
In my , preaching I did not
abuse or vilify any church, I
simply stood in my own: pulpit
and preached a doctrine sub
scribed to by an overwhelming
majority of the Cberistian world-
to be a little more specific, more
than- 600,000,000' against about
3,000,0001 HS,:r i,, rr;
' I wish to say too that no man
in. this town or anywhere else
regretstthis whole trouble more
than I do and I am - devoutly
praying that an amicable agree
ment may be reached, so that
from henceforth': , permanent
peace, witn brotherly : love may
