Memphis daily appeal. [volume] (Memphis, Tenn.) 1847-1886, 1875-06-11

was not aware that Memphis had
completed her waterWOrks; but l see in
the APPEAL the proposition to erect q
fountain in Court square, from which I
conclude you have waterWOrks COM
plete. The circle in the center of Court
square was reserved for the special pur-
pose of a fountain, but as we had no
water l said nothing about it when the
improvement Of the square was in pro-
gress, and now 1 hope the original de-
sign will be carried out by the citizens
Of Memphis, then indeed will the little
square be q sparkling gem. | inclOse
a picture of a beautiful fountain situated
in the "Place de la Concord Paris,
which was a source of great enjoyment
to me in my wanderings when youth
and health and wealth threw a halo Of
grandeur and joy along my pathway. I
think the whole fountain too elaborate
and extensive for so small a space as
Court square. You might omit the
maids which are throwing the Jets of
water INTO the basin, and from necessity
also the sculpture around the pedestal
under the basin, indeed under both
basins. Divested Of the sculpture, you
have plain, but very be8utiful fountain,
the effect of which would be very pleas
ing to the eye and refreshing to the
senses, and not expensive. l regret l
cannot furnish you an Egyptian obelisk,
such as you see in the distance in this
picture.
WhitGIe's Gospel.
EDITORS APPEAL-As it has been
charged that Major D. w. White does
not set forth the gospel fully, please
give place to the following formula elm
mated from his Bible readings and lee
lures:
First-The Bible is the inspired word
Of God, and the only standard in morals
and religion.
Second-The holy spirit alone enables
one to understand the spiritual meaning
and application of Bible truths, and is
the efficient agent and guide il convict
ing Of sin and leading sinners from the
darkness and bondage Of sin to the light
and liberty OF the gospel.
Third-The Lord Jesus Christ, alone
and unRided by anything man may or
can do, is the Tedeemer Of all who con-
TESS themselves sinners, aud come unto
him in faith.
FouTth-Christ will return again and
gather jhis people unto himself, and
should. be eagerly looked for daily, IS
no Unfulfiiled prophecy now stands be-
tween us and his promised personal re-
Fifth-Salvation is open and free to
all. "WhOsOever" will may be saved.
Sixth-Faith and true repentance and
must be proven by works of
obedience and love. These include con-
nection with the church of ones choice,
baptism, the Lords supper, etc.
Seventh-All who are at one with
Christ are spiritually at one with each
other.
Standardization should give visi-
BILE evidence Of this unity by interchange !
Of christian cOurtesies and intercommu-
Mon and fellowship, for Christ's sake, |
that the world Raay know that the |
Father sent him and loves them as he |
loves his own Son. Heaven is made as |
sure TO the christian as to Christ him |
self.
Ninth-BigotTy, compromising self /
and church arrogance, is |
Of the devil and is the benighted foe OF |
true religion and genuine catholicity. |
''This commandment have we from .
him, that who lOveth God, love his
brother also"
Tenth-That knowledge pufIeth up,
1ut charity edifeth." w.R,s, !
