The intelligent Partisan correspondent
OF the New York Times puts an absorbing re-
llglOus contest in these words: al sent you
some time ago an extended account OF the
crisis in the Protestant church In france, and
yet no progress has been made toward
settlement Of the difficulties. The trouble is,
II ] may make a short repetition, that there
are two parties, the Ga.Niuists and the Lib
erals, the former holding TO GuIZOt'5 theOry
that religion cannot 90 without the super
natural, the latter wishing TO exclude the su-
psrDatural altogether, ald 10 suppress the
divinity or Christ and Of the Scriptures But
the Caiylnlsts now have nine points in the
law according 10 the adage; that is to say,
they have poesessiun. The Liberals are
stricken dumb ana full OF appreheusIonS, Tor
they can see 20 issue from the crisis. IL they
leave the Protestant church 10 start new
church Of their own, Will not this strike a Sc
Tious blow 10 religion, even should the move
ment partially succeed? And would not the
attempt prove as great a failure a. the attempt
% Pere Hyacinthe TO found a Becl2 These are
serious questions, and the Liberals do not
know LOg TO answer them
The Jackson Wing and Tribune has
some sensible remarks as TO the outlook
which we copy as follows: zone prominent
among ali classes OF the COM /
munity at this time, is a determination TO
bear and IJrDear until another crop can be
made, or al least assured. Our farmers are
already preparing q cir land, and seem 20 be /
UubTOken in spirit. There is also a healthy /
feeling among our business men generally, /
and We think that the fail Of 1910 viii find /
jackson and Madison counties in an unusual 1
ly prosperous condition, unless, the earlier /
and later rains should again fail us. This |
Is something beyond our disposal, but ii Is /
seldom that there are two unfruitful years in /
sue -esslOn in West Ienne sSee. the lessons OF /
the past year will also be of incalculable |
benefit to Eli. They tsacB the necessity at all /
times Tor thrift, economy, and prudent fore |
sight. There are few among US who do not |
the past, have contributed 10 the prlVatlonS |
Of the present. To our friends in the country |
the failure Of the great staple has also demon |
strsted the peTlls OF people who rely solely, /
the crops, and then where one fails,
Others win not. Taken all in oil We think
that we are doing better than many of our
and at the same time see the |
promise Of q satisfactory future"
At a recent meeting Of the COM
