REBUKE TO THE REV. J.F, COSSEY
Methodist Says his Understand
ing; Hust be Dull toMiscon
true Simple Illustrations
To rho Newark Journal:
In (lie beginning God created
the heavens and the earth and
darkness was upon the face of the
deep, and the spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters and
G< d sn;d let there he light and
th< re was Ii^rht.
Ihoosands of years later the
A|o*»tles were frightened by a
st> : m while they were at sea and
Cl.list said, “Peace; be still,” and
th< winds mid the water obeyed.
Two thousand .years later, a lit
tle contention arose in a small
church in the town of Newark ov
er a recitation which was intelli
gent l.\ delivered by a small child
who w,.s only following the teach
ings of it.' parents.
After it had all been forgotten
in the busy little v'llage, comes the
Rev. ,!. F. Cossey, not with the
spoken words of one who said
“Peace; be still," nor with the au
thority of the Creator when he
said “Let there be light,” but
with all the gall and impudence
that could be possessed only by a
2x4 preacher; and hiding under
the expressed intention of pouring
oil on the troubled waters, seeks
to justify the recitation and cram
it down the throats of all who are
not in sympathy with it.
lie s-iys it was a union Sunday
School. Let us admit, for the
sake of argument, that it was.
Then the children should have had
only such recitations as would
be acceptable all denominations
and offensive to none.
lie says he understood the
preacher to compare the Baptists
to ffeas and dogs. Then his un
derstanding of simple illustrations
is very dull, which probably ac
counts for the article written and
the understanding the Rev. Cos
se.v has of the bible. Christ tried
to teach in the simplest way, by
using parables and illustrations,

so that 11 is apostles could under- j
stand. The Methodist preacher
used some illustrations trying to
reach tin* understanding of the
Brother Cossey, but he seemed to
overshoot him: but any way locat
ed him, and will probably be able
to arrange his language in the fu
ture so that it can be comprehend
ed by his fellow-preacher.
Bro. Cossey says that he loves j
the Methodists who are trying to
| follow Jesus, but people who
know the truth and will not follow
it are committing sin. Now, isn't
that nice water to pour on the
trou I tied waters? He tries to say
that we know the truth, but are
J not trying to obey it. He should
at least give us credit for being;
honest and sincere in our belief i
and practice.
The Rev. Cossey says, “Where j
envy and strife is. there is confu
sion and evil work,” but he seems
to forget that heated articles stir
up strife and especially when one
! tries to force an intelligent peo
ple to admit that the thing was
right which started the strife. 1
am not trying to pour oil on the
troubled waters, but am trying to j
let the brother see where he is in !
the light of other people. I do \
not propose to go into Biblical ar- j
gument, but it seems that thej
brother tries to make it appear
that everybody must be plunged
under. Read the case of Cornel
ius in the Acts and you will find
that Peter was preaching iu a
house and said ‘‘Who can forbid
water that these be baptized, see
ing that they have received the
gift of the Holy Ghost as well as
we." He did not say let’s go to
1 the river Jordan, to the sea of Gal
ilee, to White river, nor out to
Dota creek and crawl in a hole
that hogs have just vacated.

AN EASTERN VIEW OH BRYAN
Events have helped him more
than lie has helped himself, but he
has not been without his share in
bringing his party’s opinion
around in his direction.
Ilis support of the President
was one of his astute and large
minded decisions, and his calm and
judicious essay on Socialism was
another. The feeling of the coun
try, however, that the railroads
have partly triumphed in the rate
bill contest, and that the vested in
terests control the tariff, and that
money generally is the ruling pow- ;
er, is what helps Bryan most. |
Next to that, perhaps is the feel
ing of loyalty that is strong in hu
mankind. His very defeats in his
campaigns, and especially the bun
koed convention of 1,904, have
left him stronger with the Middle
Western voters, who have always
been the basis of his strength.
Feeling that he has never had a 1
fair opportunity, and that he had
more votes than McKinley in one
election, that life insurance and
other corporation money is now
shown clearly to have been used
in large sums to compass his de
feat, and that the men who domi
nated the convention of 1904 were
corporation servants as Aldrich
himself, the Bryan following is
looking eagerly for a contest on
more even terms. Collier s \\ eek

24 ’POSSUMS IN ONE TREE.
Rogers, .June 16.— Mallard
Mayo, who resides about two miles
east of Rogers, has proven him
self a ’possum catcher from away
back. While out in his field a
few days ago his dog “treed”
something in the root of an old
hollow tree, and upon investiga
tion it was learned that it contain
ed some kind of a varmint. The
tree was cut into and it was soon
discovered that it was the home
of the 'possum family. The* total
number captured was twenty
four.
Some people claim credit for
self-sacrifice when they give away
something that is in the way around
the house.
