constitute the Latter Day ANTS sermon.
The OLD elders and fathers IN Israel sit
upon the ample raised platform specially
built foe them, and 1t Is from the T ranks
that ecclesiastical orators mostly c7me.
/ The Mormon preachers never use notes
as they consider that preaching from
paper" is sure sign that a man ) religion
is his profession, not his life. In taking
their text, which they seldom do, the Old
and New Testament, the Book of Mor~
mon and the Doctrine aud Covenants are
the source of inspiration. They open
them at any given page by chance, and
the text read, they c0nstrRe it in q mates
riGl sense. The listener, not knowing
their style, will be eager to know accord-
ing t. the text what the preachers views
are regarding the resurrection of the
dead, the Immortality of the soul, the a.
tributes of God ami the angels, OF come
other hair-splitting theological problem.
But the listener is "a ast gloriGusly foo ed

MEMPHIS AND KNOXVILLE AIR
LINE RAILROAD.

The rapidity with which the subs
script; on to this road is increasing is
truly astonishing There hGs never
been railroad enterprise in this country
that has met with such success with so
little labor. just think of It'll There has
been in four weeks, after the books were
opened, within $4,000 of $1,000 per
mile subscribed on this road, and this
700, without counting one dollar from
Memphis, or Shelby county, save the little
village of Baskerville, and without count
ing anything from Somerville or F. yette
county except in the extreme western part.
The news from Hardin and Nc Marry
counties is also very encouraging, max
j ng It morally certain that they will take
enough stock 10 build and equip the road
through their counties. The subscr ption
east Of Hatohis river is beyond all expeo-
tatiOns, and We are reliably informed that
one of the Wealthest men east of Hatchie
proposes to take the subscription from
Hatchie river to the McNairy line, and
grade, bridge and cross-tie it the whole of
that distance. This looks ike business.
The Court meets on the second Mon
day in January, and in order to begin
work on this road We only need the $780,
900 more subscription by that time.
This amount can be easily raised by tn q
Commissioners by the lat of January,
outside Of Shelby or Fayetts Counties,
and then having 5000 per mile we Sc
cure Charter and begin the work. A
corps Of engineers will begin the survey
of the road in few weeks, and company
win be ready to let contracts of grading
Ou the road within three months, from
Memphis to the Tennessee river. Now
let each Commissioner in Hardeman,
hcNairy, Hardin, Fsystte and Shelby
counties do his best until the Ist of jan
gary, 1872, and that day make out list
of the subscribers and the amount of
each, and forward them to General L. z.
Nicely or Major E. p. MeNeal, at Bolivar,
so that We may be ready to report to the
Chancery Court at its January term.
Don't forget this, as it is all important.
Let each Commissioner collect five per
cent On all amounts subscribed. BY Sub
section 3 Of Section Is of The act of
1901, it is provide as follows: when
ever the amount of stock as prescribed
By this act is subscribed, and an actual
