THE REV. COSSEY FIRES BACK
Me Replies to the Revs. Newman
and Pink and Prescribes
for the “Thing”
To The Newark .Journal.
In my communication of June
J5t 11 1 said that the Children’s
Day was a union service for. all
who wanted to take a part. Bro.
’Newman says they welcome all
who will take a part with them.
Yes, we are welcome if we will let
the circuit rider put a pad lock on
our mouth and pulp down all he
says, be still anil say nothing. The
brother said that I insinuated that
the Methodists received babes in
the church as members. 1 quote
from Methodist discipline, page
£21, section 2: on page 227 will be
found the form of baptism to such
as are of riper years. The brother
said he did riot consider baptism
necessary to salvation. If not,
wh.\ does he refer to the case of
Nicodemus, and say in his minis
tration of baptism, “Except a man
be born of water and of the spirit,
lie cannot enter into the Kingdom
of God.” If he does not baptize
infants in order that they may en
ter the Kingdom, for what does
he baptize them? lie asks why
take up time to discuss the mode
of baptism; 1 ask why take time
to break the heart of the little girl
who delivered the recitation and
say things that caused the
tears to come to the eyes of older
people; Why should Brother
Newman come in and object when
the managers did not; 1 say that
lie said things too, that he did not
publish, but we will let the people
be the judge. He began by say
ing that he indorsed all the recita
tions but one, and that one he ob
jected to, and that he knew that
the Baptists were going down for
they have got the children at
work, and that he was opposed to
so much of this mixing up togeth
er. He said with much vim, “I
tell you if you lie down with dogs,
you will get up with fleas on you.’’
Brother New man wants to be can
did about the matter. So do I; I
have asked that the recitation be
condemned by the scriptures. 1
have not had a single quotation to
condemn it. The brother called it
a radical speech. Why don't he
show that it is i All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and
is profitable for doctrine, for re
proof, for correction, for instruc
tion in righteousness, so if 1 think
he is wrong in his objection, Tim
othy says to correct him.
Now in reply to the Thing who
would not sign up. I said I would
tot notice him hereafter unless he
would sign up, but as the brother
is very sick and has called on me
to prescribe for his heart, I will
do so. Judging from the way he
writes he is very nervous and has
a great distress of mind. In the
first place 1 will say tiod'- Word
says there is a stony and a spirit
ual heart. Now 1 will prescribe
with thus saith the Lord, and if he
will not take it according to the
Lord's directions it will do him no
good, Go read Ezekiel 11-19 and
18-19. You must withdraw from
all appearance of evil and obey
the commands of the Lord. For
he has said if you love me you will
keep my commandments.
Now in regard to the word
brother. The Woodmen cannot
call the ()dd Fellows brother and
give them all the privileges oi
their lodge. So it is with the
Baptist church. They cannot give
societies the privilege of the
church. But my friend, it seems,
would commune with all.
He said that it was his under
standing that the word “baptize’
comes from the Greek word “bap
tidzo,” meaning to sprinkle, etc.
Jl does not mean to sprinkle. l>r.

T. T. Eat^on of Somersvilie, Ky.,
offered $1,000 to the person who
would find a passage of classic
Greek in which the word “bap
tize” could be correctly translated
as sprinkle or pour. He wants me
to show where Cornelius was inv j
mersed. Peter baptized Cornel
ius under the instructions of Christ
Christ came from Galilee to Jor
dan unto John to be baptized of
him, traveling more than 32 miles,
and Jesus when he was baptized
went straightway up out of the
water. Now, if he cannot show a
better prescription he should take
this one, which is the Lord’s.
What have you learned by his
foolishness?
A few words in reply to Broth
er Kink and I am done. He said
he never saw an article from the
pen of either of these disputers
condemning the many sins preva
lent with us. Brother put on
your glasses and read my articles
on temptation in The Journal June
2 and 23, 1005, Thanksgiving
December S, 11)05, and on dancing
March 23, 1000, and see if they do
not condemn them. 1 bear no ill
will to any one, but love all, but 1
do condemn the wrong teaching of
some. Now I would like to con- J
denm some other tilings, but I am j
I afraid my article will be too
lengthy.

BOLL WEEVIL HAS COME TO STAY
Texas Expert Declares That the
Pest Will Eventually Cov
er Entire Cotton Belt.
W. I>. Hunter, of Dallas, Tex.,
in charge of the boll weevil work
in that state, is of the opinion that
the pest has come to stay, and that
it will eventually spread over the
whole of the cotton growing terri
tory, though its progress may be
slow. The time of migration is
during August, and the doctor ex
pects to see the weevil get to the
Mississippi river, if not far be
yond, during the period of 190*>.
Dr. Hunter stated that his idea of
the work to be done by the de
partment now is to instruct the
growers of cotton how to grow
enough cotton for the spinners and
the weevil also, and he believes
that this branch of the work is be
ing successfully carried out.
The experts continue to experi
ment with the many powders and
liquids sent them from all over the
country. They have found some
which appeared efficacious, but
the cost was so great that it would
be cheaper not to try to raise cot
ton. Most of them have proved
utterly untit for the use for which
they were intended.
Dr. Hunter hopes to be able to
interest the Farmers' Union in the
project of the general adoption of
the cultural methods recommended
by the Department of Agriculture
and will shortly make an address
to the state convention of the union
along this line and will endeavor
to show the farmers where such a
course would prove beneficial to
their crops, even though it had no
effect in exterminating the weevil.
BRAIN LEAKS.
(From Bryan's Commoner:)
Men do not rise to God by step
ping on their neighbors.
Men who wait for inspiration
usually hunt for the soup kitchen.
It. is easy to be liberal with the
money that other people have
earned.
Corrupt politics is caused by the
lack of interest on the part of the
honest citizen.
Too many men lock their good
nature up with their merchandise
and carry their troubles home.
A great many people are starv
ing because of money wasted in
tall spires and stained glass win
dows.
TWO BROTHERS KILLED
A shooting affray occurred near
Westville a few days ago in which
Ernest and Pies Hubbard, broth
ers, were killed by Reuben Kirby.
Kirby was arrested. The trouble
arose over the theft of a hog. The
battle occurred near Kirby’s
home. The men met in the road
and began firing. Both the Hub
bards were killed almost instant
ly. t
