I would like to say to Rev, G, 8, Bryan
tbat we do not stand corrected. Rev,
aud Mrs. U 8. Bryan were making tiieir
headquarters at Mra. Harrington's. Tbe
nelghbora were asked to donale, for I
was asked. A libeial supply of eats were
given, for I was tbere and saw tbe sup
ply. While I knew tbat I was somewhat
exaggerating tbe need, I expected it to
lie taken In tbe spirit tbat it waa given,
aud otherwise slated what I then be
lieved, and atill believe to be the facta in
tbe case. Being busy when tbe commit
tee called on me, I asked no questions
but waa told by my nelghbora tbat they
had been told that the donation was made
broause Mra. H. thought she could not
afford to supply tbe wants of all. On
going down town I found tbat to be tbe
Idea conveyed by all, and wben I pre
sented my little donation I said if she
wss in need in a few weeks I would give
ber more, and abe stated In the presence
or several or tbe members of Mr. B.'s
congregation that tbey would be gone by
that time and tbere would tben he no
need. It baa been tbe custom for years
for the town to be asked to donate to the
F, M. ministers, and they bave always
responded liberally, but always found it
thankfully reoeived and acknowledged
before. It Is known tbat Mr. B. bought
some supplies while In town. So did the
woman furnish who went to tbe Sunday
school pionio and furnlstod one dozen
pickles and seven children, then said
people ought to be ashamed to ask folks
to lurnish for a picnic and not give any
better eats. We are liable to overestimate
what we do, Mra. Harrington knew who
wrote the item referred to and if the rev
erend gentleman did not he could have
found out by asking almost auy one in
town. I am alwaya glad to make right
any uiielake I make. It does not require
very much oourage to pipe from behind
tbe pulpit tbat an individual Is a falsifier,
or to seek ao apology from the editor
who knowa nothing of tbe facts In tbe
mstter, but I would ask tbe reverend
gentleman if be haa anything further to
aay on tbe subject that be play the part
of a christian gentleman and come to me,
I am willing to race bim before any num
ber or witnesses he may bring. Aa the
reverend gentleman said when he stated
thst a certain minister was going to hell
alont, with bis members, "I might say
more," but I believe tbat I bave made It
clear tbat nothing but a news item was
Intended. Any further reference to tbls
matter in tbe paper will be simply ig
nored. I try lo write what I think will
be Interesting to the people, and I bave a
belter opinion of them than to think
this Is.
