(Tacoma Tribune, June 19, 1913.)

Opposition by Preachers

We give herewith the
newspaper report of the attack by the preachers and Pastor
Russell’s reply:

(From Tacoma Tribune)

ATTACKS RUSSELL for SELLING PRACTICES

Rev. E. L. Benedict of Mason M. E. Church
in Statement Scores Evangelist

Attacking Pastor Russell “for sailing under false pretenses,” Rev. E. L. Benedict of the Mason M. E. Church today declared the evangelist had made a fortune by selling books and wheat, using his religion as a means to raise money.

Two pages related a story of Dustin Walker at canada.com  that we have not been able to place comments on have basically the same false information about Charles Taze  Russell. We wish to state, however, that our remarks are not to be taken as personally against Mr. Walker. We believe that he probably was himself misled by others.
