tain the number of penitents, and how many converts you have made. If we be dead, leave us alone, and the dead will bury their dead. However, I warn you tenderly, be cautious. O far away, far astray men! Inflated and deluded by your own little selves, beware! Mind your own business. We have no respect for any of you. You have made matters worse by your nasty and untrue statements. We are under no obligation to any of you writers from Baltimore. We shall attend to our own business, seeking to get rid of the devil and his influence, even by piece-meal, whenever and wheresoever we can. No thanks to you wiseacres or to the Federal Council of Churches in America. I refer you to Paul's letter to the Romans, second chapter, first three verses.
Item Three: Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Stop this hellish thing, criticizing unjustly Salisbury and the Eastern Shore, lest a more grievous thing should (come upon our state. Salisbury is my home town. I am proud of it, and the Eastern Shore and its people, and it is high time that this damaging and damnable tirade concerning us, cease; and all the derogatory remarks and influence be consigned to Hades, where they belong. REV. G. A. MORRIS.
Rev. Charles M. Elderdice writes to the Baltimore Sun, as follows:

(Rev.) Chas. M. Elderdice Westminister, Jan. 25, 1932.
