“The Worker [Baptist Worker periodical of A. Nunnery] is not an enemy to people because we tell them when we think they are wrong. We want folks to do us that way. It looks like folks who want to know and do right would not take offense when you tell them wherein you think they are wrong. If a man was buying a horse or a piece of land and was deceived in it and liable to get cheated, and you go to him and tell him wherein he is mistaken or wrong, he would thank you for it, even if he found that you were mistaken and he was right...
“We thought we were doing just like Baptists have always done—just speak out what we believe to be the truth and let everybody else do the same. We did not know that such conduct is unusual among Baptists.”
Alonzo Nunnery in The Baptist Worker, Wednesday, March 14, 1917, page 8
