REV. MR. COLE
Editor Ilerald,
Kindly allow me
a final word. Mr. Gardner and
yourself centered hard on the
third paragraph in my statement
in which I say, "I have been re
liably informed thai Elbethel
was listed in the convention on
two other occasions without au
thority,' Mr. Gardner makes
the positive stalemeut that El
bethel has never been 011 the
flist asoneot the choirs taking
part in the convention. Please
nots that I did not say "listed
as takltg paH", but "listed io
the Convention." Mr, Page says
that Elbethel was listed ia tha
territory of tb i ;. convention.
Doubtless that accounts for one
o! the occasions my informant
bad in mind. It may be that El
bethel was mentioned a second
time, and that would account for
the two occasions. Now if X ha-'e
damaged any one by using the
phrase "listed in the oonveu
tion" instead ot "listed in the
territory of the convention" I
most humbly beg pardon and I
will -take all pains to : make a-
mends. Possibly I should have
written this paragraph as follows
On one other occasion Elbethel
was mentioned in . connection
with the ottveutioii aud since it
has c6me?up again 1 1 wish to

misunderstanding".!'
Also- the phrase "without au-

Now a few foots for
you to remember.

all day except possibly two and
they came hi the afternoon. '

choir that was mentioned and
not Elbethel Church or Sunday

Church. They bhouid be called

anything. at all in regard to El

WRITES AGAIN
thority'' seems to have aroused i
you somewhat. In vour reply
you bring out just what I was
calling attention to, namely,
that the appearance of the
church In connection with the
convention was purely a piivate.
action. Nothing was more remote-
from the minds of those good
men than the idea that they were
acting with authority from El
bethel Church.
Mr, Gardnei seems to really
get "hot". He says that he did.,
have authority and stales it as ,:
follows; ''At tbA -soon- hour on
Thursday during- the week V
taught there some of the
mem'jers ' of the choir. .
asked me could they
oome and sing in the afternoon, " .
So in his own words he only had
authority to say that some of .
the members wished to sing or .
would sing in : the afternoon,
that Is not what .he published.
He prints Elbethel in the midst ,
of other choirs withou t a word
to indjeate any difference, His.
own words prove that he did
th's without authority, But
doubtless he did this without
the least intention of doing,
wrong. I did not meau to reflect T
on his goo I moral character.
Possibly he was reading into my .
statement the in dignatiou I ex
pressed regarding outside inter. ,
ference.

as you say for I knew that I had,
not exceeded . my authority. -Proof.

had been announced. ; ,
But now Bro. Cole - 'Pess" up". .
Didn't you get real "HOT?" "

helped the cause any by this dis
cussion and I confess that I am. . .
heartily ashamed of my part of
it but was compelled to in de-,

and they were as welcome a
