How can a Sinner Approach
God9

Mr.. Editor:
Allow me to ask q question through
the columns Of your paper, and TO re-
quest, by the same medium, an answer
from some one who knows that God.
through Christ, has pardoned lis sins.
I care not to what religious den0mina-
tiOn he belongs, whether Methodist,
Baptist. Presbyterian, or any other.
The question Is this-HoW may q
sinner approach God Is it through
or by prayer. or is ii by some other
channel OF method? Tell me, We saints
81 Christ Sd that I, sinner, may know
how to approach God so that I may
know, while on earth, how to live near
Him, AMI heaven so that I may spend
my remaining days here in His service
50 that when he comes 70 make up His
jewels may not be found wanting 50
that when death comes my last mo-
ments on earth may be my happiest
ones. Tell me, how may a sinner APP
prOach God ? Respectfully yours,
SUBSCRIBER.
We respectfully invite an answer
through our paper, to the above COM
hunication. We know the writer, and
know that lie Is sincere in his inquiry.

EThe Cincinnati Commercial offers
a column and half Of reasons to show
that THURMAN would not be a bad can.
didate for President next year. ao4l
This affords the Enquirer such an op
portunity as it never misses Of getting
of little growl at THURMAN. -,
We know pretty well what we are
talking about when we say that a very
large portion Of the Democrats Of Ohio
do not approve Of the treatment which
THURMAN has hecn receiving at the
hands of the Enquirer; and by making
unjust attacks upon him, the leditors oi
that paper are driving fair-minded men
to his defense aud ultimately to his sup
port who are far from agreeing with him
in his financial views.
Among all the possible candidates To-
the Presidency, we believe, as we have
repeatedly said, that Mr.. PEspLEroN is
the best representative of the interests
of the people and OF the party; but We
also believe that Mr.. THURMAN is nearer
right than any other prominent Demo
crat who is identified with what is kno vn
as the "speedy resumption" wing Of tbs
party. In this belief we feel very Ger
tain that we are 10 harmony with the
average Democratic sentiment Of tht
State.

RThe Memphis Clarion says as to
the colored men who voted the Demo,
cratic ticket:
sit would be wrong to deny that for
this great dcliverance we are largely in
de5ted to the voters of color, who act
ed in every county, in disregard of the
exhortations and warnings of the lead
ers in whom they have heretofore trus-
ted, and of the trammels of the polite.
al organization 10 which they belonged,
and which they had been taught gave
them their freedom and invested them
with the ballot, which was necessary to
its protection. 1t required no little
firmness and truthfulness on their par,
to take this stand; but they did it, thou.
sands of them, nobly and bravely, and
therefore may our right hands forget
their cunning, and our tongues cleave
to the roofs Of our mouths, ere we fail
in any particular, to carry out, in good
faith, the pledges Of equal and ever
