E. H. Barton, president of Fraser Val-

letter to the president of the Abbots-|

of Chilliwack, Reeve Poppy of Langley,
and A. W. McLeod of New Westmin-

of the Associated Boards to investigate
Sumas reclamation costs. Referring el
the qualities of these men. Mr. Barton

man with exceptional ability to see
both sides of a question. Poppy is a|
level-headed farmer who knows what
farm land is worth and just about how
much taxes an acre of land can pay,
and still produce a living for the own-
er. Mr. McLeod is a keen business man |
and thoroughly realizes what it will
mean to the province to have these |
lands settled up. Knowing the im-!}
portance of this movement, these men}
have all promised to give it the time
that is necessary, and go into it pro-|
perly.” |

The first meeting of the Board of}
Trade committee was held in Langley
last week, and they are invited to at-
tend a joint meeting of Abbotsford and}
Sumas Boards of Trade and Sumas}
landowners’ committee in Abbotsford
next week.

Appointment of this committee,
which will gather together and present
data on the Sumas situation to a Legis-

FRIGHTENED TEAM INJURES
SUMAS PRAIRIE WOMAN

Mrs. Wood of Sumas Prairie suffer-
ed serious injuries last week, when she
was crushed by a runaway team at
Evan-Thomas.

While left standing outside the Por-
ter store at Evan-Thomas, her team,
which was hitched to a wagon, be-
came frightened, and to prevent the
horses from bolting, Mrs. Wood ran

carried along, and crushed between a
wheel of the wagon, and a democrat
with which the team collided. A doc-

injuries, Mrs. Wood was found to have}
sustained se¥eral broken ribs. }

The injured woman is a recent ar-
rivel at Sumas Prairie, having pur-
chased the Porritt farm this summer,
which she has worked, assisted solely
by her nephew, a lad of 15 years. Mrs.
Wood's husband is a rallroad worked at
Calgary, and he planned to join his
wife here shortly and follow farming.
Mrs. Wood's injuries, however, have so
disabled her that she has leased her
farm to the Benz brothers for a period

PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given
that the Court of Revision of the
Voters’ List of the Municipality of

in the Municipal Hall, Mount Lehman,

Editor, A. S. & M. News.—Sir: May
I beg the privilege of your paper to pub-
lish an open letter to Mr. W. A. Ken-
nedy, the publisher of a booklet “This
is the day of many churches and many
hypocrites." I am well aware of the
fact that if the privilege be granted,
I must be brief, and cannot hope to
cover all the points of doctrine that Mr
Kennedy covers. But in the interests
of public welfare I crave the space.”
Yours Truly “Jas.~H. Bury.”

Open Letter To Mr. Kennedy

Dear Sir.—Having read your late
publications on matters of Theology,
and carefully noted your recent book,
which has been so liberally handed to
ithe public, we beg to call your atten-
tion to some of the errors contained
therein, and aiso inform you of certain
conditions prevailing in the movement
with which you are associated.

We are sorry that we cannot deal
with the book paragraph by para-
graph, neither can we quote page, as
they are not numbered.

Is not your inference on the cover

image after our likeness”. Was God
talking to Himself? Was Jesus pray-
ing to Himself or to His Father when
on the Cross? Truly they are three
persons, yet one—a divine mystery.
Why did you not ‘quote Adam Clarke
fully, also Dr. Lightfoot, on the ques-
tion of the Trinity, and not use them
to bolster your position?

Re sanctification. Again, why do
you give one only of i meanings?
The words sanctify and Sanctification
are made from the Latin adjective

the same class”, that is hypocrites?
Do you in all fairness, not owe it to
the public to state your exceptions, if
any? Or shall we take it that the
statement rather savours of the spirit
of Zophar, the young man comforter
of Job, of whom Job said, “When he
died wisdom would die with him’—
Job 12-2.

We have no defence for “Modernism”
“Evolution” (as pertaining to man),
and we know that in almost every de-
nomination some have left the anchor-
age of evangelical faith as expressed in
their doctrinal tenets. But we believe
that a large majority of the people be-
lieve the Bible. Is it not a sad fact,
that whilst “Modernism” has made
progress, that all kinds of “isms” have
been springing up, the last but not
least of which is “Tongueism”’? But
to this later.

Re the “Trinity”. It is true the word
is nowhere used in the Bible, but a
trinity is inferred. 1 John 5-7 reads:
For there are three that bear witness
in. heaven, the Father, the Word,
(note the capital W, and see Rey. 19
13) and the Holy Ghost, and these
three are one, Gen. 1-26 reads: And
God said, “Let us make man in our

”, meaning holy, and the Latin
verb “facere”, meaning to make, and
the suffix “ion”, always meaning the
act of. Space forbids quoting Pope,
Matthew Henry, The Webster, Century
Imperial and Standard dictionaries.
Why did you dismiss the subject as
you did?

Re sickness. If to be sick is sin as
you say, do you not logically hold the
child who is sick as a sinner? And
yet you exempt him from sin? Is
ignorance sin? May not a person be-
cause of conditions or ignorance break
the the laws of health and be sick?
From your judgement seat you declare
they sin. What definition have you
for sin?

We wish to believe you sincere and
honest, and so conclude that you do
not know the following of Pentecostal-
ism, alias Full Gospel, alias Four
Square, alias Salvation Navy, etc., etc.
Do you know that the Rey. Hollice B.
White, before his congregation, claim-
ed the approval of God and the Holy
Ghost upon adultery, and the seduc-
tion of a high school girl; compared
himself to a Daniel and his congrega-
Ition will await his release from jail.
