The sermon last evening at the Calvary
Baptist Church Twentythird-st, between Fifth and
sixthayes delivered by the Rev K S. Macarthur,
pastor of the church. His text taken from Ezekiel,
xviii 81: "Why will We. die, o, House OF Israel" He
said:
The Jews OF Ezekiels day had wandered from God in
heart and life. and they then attempted to justify their
disObedence by complaining Of the method Of Gods
dealings with men; they charge God with Furnishing
them for the sins OF their forefathers 1t would seem
that they interpreted the second commandment 30 as TO
that the sins OF the fathers by direct command Of
God apart from the natural sequence visited upon
the children irrespective OF their moral character God
In this chapter corrocts suoh notion and by npica-
ton rebukes them for entertaining It, He assures them
and that all his dealings with men, are governed by
the most impartial justice and that mems msinerpre-
tatOn Of his prOvdences, arises from their limited
capacity TO understand his ways. In ths chapter, We
are taught by striking illustrations, that God Is no
respecer Of persons that IL shall be- Ill with the wicked
man. though he have good father that 1t shall be well
with peutents though they began i'll that II shall
be III with apOstates though they began well.
God thus indicates his character and 1usii-
hes his conduct. He lays down the great
principle Of individual responsibility; lie teaches us
that though sustain many relations TO one another
"a wall high Heaven separates man from man, III the
relations OF each TO God and the vast concerns or eter

Parents cannot believe perform any other religious
act for their children. Religion is personal transaction
between the individual soul and It's God. He that be-
hcy and Is baptized small be sayod"-he for himself

THE SOUTHERN METHoDISTS.

LOUISVILLE, May 23.-In the general con-
ference of the Methodist Episcopal Church
South yesterday, the committee on fraternal
relations with the Northern church, reported
that it is deemed proper for the attainment of
the object sought, to guard against all mis-
apprehension, TO declare that the organza-
lions are not involved in fraternity; in our
view of the subject the reasons for separate
existence Of the two branches of Methodists are
such as to make corporate union undesirable
and impraeticable; the causes which led TO a
division in 1874 have not disappeared Refer
ence is made to the Inconvenience of organic
ing proper basis Of representation to the
General Conference, and to the difference in
power claimed by the two branches as inhe-
rent to the General Conference. On the sub
ject of slavery the report says the position of
Southern Methodism is scriptural; our opin-
IONS have undergone no change

q century since the art of mixing paint was
confined almost exclusively to few, compar-
atively speaking. Now, however, through
the ingenuity ofBRADLEY, a practical paint
er, as well as Chemist, we are not only ena-
bled to apply the paint if we desire, but can
see the shades in advance, a BEAUTIFUL

Not having used the Enamel Paint our
selves, we cannot, of course, speak from ex-
perience, but we have not doubt it is all
that is claimed for it--BEAUTY, DURABLE
ITY and ECONOMY-and must evidently in
a short space of time supersede the Old Style

Now FOR AMNESTY lit is reported that
Southern conservative membe voted against
the centennial So, 900, 600 fund for no other
reason than because they thought the passage
Of general amnesty should antedate an appro-
priation to celebrate the hundredth annversa-
ry Of the Union. But for this objection they
would have sustained the bill, perhaps. The
point is not badly taken. The fundamental
idea Of the centennial show is to exhibit to the
world the greatness and unity of this. IT'S
but mockery to talk of this while men are
deprived of their civil rights in consequences
of ever Is that occurred ten years ago, and now
have almost the dimness Of traditions. The
injustice to these men, as individuals, is but
least part Of the harm done by the policy of
ostracsm. Excluding them from the right Of
suffrage and holding Office prohibits much of
the native ability of the South from taking
part in the work of restoration; and the i'll
effect of this is seen in the wertched mis-goy-
ernment of several Of the Southern States
Had universal amnesty been proclaimed five
years ago, and the best men of the South had
a fair chance to make themselves felt in public
affairs we believe that South Carolina, Missis-
sippi, and Arkansas would now be governed
with something like decency. Bnteven with
out reference to these probable results, it would
have been work Of common generosity and
prudent craftsmanship to restore x-Confeder-
ates to their lost privileges long time ago,
en- masse, instead Of pcddlng out pardons to
them two or three at a time after suitable
humiliation. If Congress wishes the people
to celebrate the centennial anniversary with
unsion and heartiness, it should immediately
grant amnesty to all political offenders, so that
those persons may get themselves into the pro-
per frame Of mind for the jubilee Of l876.-N.

Mr.. Editor, ~ send you an extract from an
Essay on Roads, delivered in 1913, by Prot
Edgworth, which will be- found very much in
harmony with the recommendation Of The
meeting held in Rockville on the 10Th inst,
and strongly in contrast with the system Of
laying out and working Poads in this county
at the present day. The Essay commences By
abiding 10 the roads IN England, Scotland,
Ireland and France. ltsays-
i. Roads in England are inferior to those in
ireland aud Scotland.
Those in France, in directness elevation and
cross-section, and also in state Of surface are
very superior The plan in England is to COM
nit the roads to the management Of a number
Of country gentlemen, who act gratuitously.
No one ought to locate road without being
acquainted with the science of leveling and
mensuration He ought to understand the
the best practicable method of removing large
masses of earth, and the principle Of building
abutments, walls, bridges and the drainage
Of land.
This shows that the old notion ''that there
is nothing so easy as TO make and repair
road is radically wrong and defective.
Waste of money, not so much oy Intentional
wrong, as by mismanagement-an unnecessa-
ry team inferior hands, bills of cost, improp-
er materials, and leaving the road SO as to re-
/ tain rain and moisture, which will soon de-
stroy what is put on. This waste is compu-
ted by engineers at from one-fourth to one-half
the money appropriated for the repair ofroads
2. Appointing incompetent superintendent
supervisors.
g. Road agents not to account, and want OF
remedy where the trust is abused.
A. A committee off five or six to manage
District roads.
The above was written sixty-one years ago.
and is as appli able to this county now as it
was then. In addition, / will add, that was
present at an assemblage of gentlemen since
this question of road reform, in the mode oil
managing and working our county roads has
been under consideration, when responsible
business mana man who knows how to work
and has had considerable experience in road
making, remarked, that he would undertake
with six good hands, with only pick and
shovel, TO do more and better work on the
public roads in Cracklin district in sixty days
than was done last year by all the supervisors
with their carts, wagons, plows and scrapers,
at an expense of over $1,000 to the county. A
declaration which was assented to and endors-
ed by all present.
The account would then stand as follows:

plows, scrapers, and retinue of in
