US shape our policy not so much to
criticize or justify the past, as to inn
prove the present and secure the fu-
ture.
Although success has overwhelming
ly crowned the united efforts of the
people of Tennessee in their first polit-
zeal struggle, after the restoration of
the ballot-yet the fruits of that victo-
ry may be lost if we are not harmo-
nIous in sentiment and united in pur-
pose.
The impatIence ofsome and the dis
appointments of others will now and
then distract our counsels and threat
en- our integrity.
But let us stand firmly by ou1 prin-
clples, presere our organization intact
and await patiently the great develop
ments of the future in the confident
hope of a speedy restoration of Consti-
tutional Liberty to the American peo-
people.
And may the Supreme Ruler of all
things direct our councils to wise and
harmonious conclusions.
After the delivery of the Inaugural
the oath of Office was administered by
Supreme Court Judge Turney. The
ceremonies then closed with music.

petitioned for the next session, and
there is quite probability that it

up claim, but if that place has half

not need the Conference. Bristol
needs it and being general favorite

comments on a babtismal occasion in

his capacity for appreciating holy

tered by Elder r. B. Boatwright, of
the Baptist Church. The writer of
this is not a Baptist and does not
himself sec that immersion is render
ed obligatory by the divine Law, but
ne has a high and revcrential respect
for the rites and ceremonies of a
church, which, although it may mill
tate against his own Interpretation of
the divine command, has maintained
Throughout: a long line Of centuries
a lofty and honorable position among
the institutions founded by the Son
of God. The Baptist Church has 10
reason to fear the Press. It's mighty
roots are imbeded in every land which
rises above the seas. 1t was honora-
bile when Luther was born. 1t was
venerable when civilization built its
empire upon the Bosphorus, and it
still will cary in its girdIe ole of the
golden keys which open the gates of
heaven, when the local of the PdtriOt
shall have, at some period of his life,
that he ever attempted to
