HALFWAY.

MARCH u, INO'.
When the Son Of God made His adj
vent into the world, mole than cigh-
teen hundred years ago, the earth was
groaning beneath its heavy load of
sin.
Pride, biyotry, oppression, -uper~ti-
ton, darkness and gloom shroudt d
the land, and it, inhabitants We're
draped in mourning.
u Is true, the ancient prophets had
predicted the coming of the Messiah +,
and the Jews were expecting His ad-
vent; but they looked for Him To come
ia ali the pomp and splendor OF an
earthly rnonarch---and that III. would
erect Il temporal kingdom and rule rs
an earthly Prince.

But lie came the meek amt lowlv
babe Of Bethlehem; so poor, 40 humble,
40 lowly. that the ricll halls of fashion
and worldly splendor shut their doors
AGAINST Him. and He was cradled In a
manger among the bloaiing ilocks
and lowing herds.
In consequence of His poverty, His
meekness and simplicity, Ills humility
and ohscurity, the gay and fashionable
world discarded Him. The doctors OF
the law, the long-robed hirellng priests,
and the hypocritical Scribes and Phaii-
sees. lifted up their hands in holy hor-
ror and cried, We will not have this
man Ia rule over u.

world-to fulfill the law--to set up q

people to worship God in spirit and in

To what does the maintaining Of ne
groes in Tennessee, by giving them en-
ploymont and feeding their paupors from
the public crib, solely on account of
their eonsenling to be Radical automa-
tons, lead but to consolidate their
strength en- masse for an assault on
everything in politics and reli-
gion-everything human and divine
that oppose the progress Of the
dominant power in all their movements
toward radical changes in the original
policy of the Government, not only in
temporal, but in church affairs.
For that power dispenseS not only
g. hog and hominy " to its proteges, but

SAYS "the Presidents official boot has
inflicted wound upon Stanton which
will appeal powerfully to Radical sym
