“TAKE HEED.”

By A. S. Hutchins

THIS is the heading of showers of letters which have passed over some sections of Vt., N. H., and Mass., and doubtless other states, from B. D. Townsend. The obect of these letters evidently is to prejudice the readers against the brethren, and the gifts of the Spirit. In past years we have labored to help this poor, wandering, wayward man. But, he was strangely bewitched with the idea that he had a call to preach. This no reasonable man could believe. His roving, fanatical life led the church in Northern Vt. to withdraw fellowship from him some four years since. Hereafter if he shall continue these communications, will he “take heed” and pre-pay his postage? Sometimes he writes from Canada, at others from the States. Our brethren consider it spending money for that which satisfieth not, to pay postage on such worthless productions.

In love of justice.

A. S. HUTCHINS.
