for the helpful sway of any other
law. But this sacred machinery
while 1t has availed to declare
the Christian law, to interpret
it, to exhort, to warn, and to
threaten, has failed to execute it,
and make it practically a daily,
active, purifying presence. Ev-
erybody knows the lawn SO

practical Christianity able to
overcome the domestic, social
and political evils of the land.
The test of a church is that it
brings salvation. 1t must come
with the special remedy for the
special want, the special cleans
ing for the special deflement,
the special opportunity for the
special necessity. It must sub
due the ''social evil" rescue wo-
manhood from the industrial
slums, abolish alms-giving by
organizing industry, and cure the
barbarisms of society by first re-
moving the barbarism of the
heat. Then the church will ful>

Christian law of equity and love
into every department of human
affairs, bringing spiritual saliva

The Printing Law.
From the Richland Beacon.

From the Richland Beacon
In reply to an inquiry of the Bos-
sier Banner the Homer Iliad says:
"We have ever been opposed to any
such law or regulation, strictly upon
principle, and have only conntenan-
ced and tolerated it as matter of
Temporary policy, to sustain the Re-
publican press of the State against
the most vicious and unreasonable
prescription and persecution hurled
against it.D In other words Mr..
Blackburn, as sensible and reas
enable man disapproved Of the prin-
ciple of forcing the people to sup
port press which they would pat.
ronize voluntarily, but, as a politi-
clan, approved of the ',olicy of such
a thing for the good Of the party or
rather, was willing to compel the
taxpayers of the state to support
those who made it their business to
abuse, traduce, and misrepresent
and plunder them. But We are glad
tossee that the Had is in favor of
!
the repeal OF the law by the next
session of our Legislature, and are
willing to co operate with it and all
others in demanding its repeal.
All business, public printing as we'll
as any other, should be left open to
competition, and there is no justice
in the state fostering monopolies of
any kind. The parish officers should
be allowed to give the parish adver-
tising to whatever paper of their
parish they choose, and the state
printing should be let to the lowest
bidder. and thus thousands of dol
lars would be saved to the state.
The Madison Journal copies the
Iliad article and makes comments
on the law which we heartily en-
dorse. It says:
1--WE most cordially agree with
everything that our brother Black
burn says in regard to the Printing
Law, except that we do not and did
not believe in its Temporary policy;
nor do we believe that it was possi-
bic to build up respectable Be
publican press under its operation.
An Independent press is what the
public wants require, and not one
that depends upon the whims and
caprices Of any three men in this
State however exalted their position
or that is obliged to wait upon the
vain ambitions or sensless aspira-
tions of any number of leather head
ed demagogues. The prescription
and persecution of the Republican
press was the direct and legitimate
result Of an attempt to break down
every democratic and independent
press in the State, and to force pub
lie patronage into an unwilling chan
mel. A newspaper that cannot sup
port itself without legislative COM
pulsion of patronage is not needed
in any community, and is of no
possible value to anybody. We
hope to see the Printing Law repeal
ed this winter, and the press Of
Louisiana once more free and indie.

expensive, complex Sunday ap-
paratas for carrying out tie
Christian law is powerless. In>
stead of pure, fervid, practical
Christianity we have a Sunday
religion, one day in the week set
apart for worship and prayer.
On Monday we put aside, with
our Sunday clothes, our Sunday
religion. Business is business,
and the whole body and soul,
current, activity and momentum
Of business are counter to the
sentiments of Sunday, and con-
troll and subject them as ineyita-
bly, as the active man does the
inactive. Six days we work in
selfish, unchristian conditions s.
the seventh idle day we play at
Christianity. We leave off work
to cultivate religion; aud we Law
aside religion when we set to
work. We divide our life into
seven parts, whereof we give six
to Mammon and one to God.
On the moral soil, parched from
the weeks worldly habits, we
pour thin Sunday sprinklings
from stale theological reservoirs,
which evaporate instantaneonsly
in the steady heat of selfishness.
This non worship in the work.

idle Sunday, is a disintegration
Of the moral life. Bywork We
live bodily and mentally; out of
work grow all our relations with
our fellows; and, by banning
from work the Christian law, we
Danish it from our lives. To
make our daily working life vital
with justice and love-to make
all our hopes a commission with
God-thisis the aim of Practical
Christianity.
So obviously has this aim hith-
erto failed of accomplishment
that many-among them earnest
men. themselves Christian in sem
timent and practice declare
Christianity to be a failure. But
no more than gravitation. or the
laws, which govern numbers,
Christianity fail. For eighteen
centuries it has been a light to
humanity, glowing modestly, in
humble hearts. TO believe that
it can fail is unconscious atheism.
But what has failed is our secta>
rian apparatus and machinery,
developing mainly race of pip>
ing devotees, painfully contracts
ed into pews, narrowed by skele-
ton lines of opinion, and results
ing in a fatal divorce between
the religious function and the
practical function. The remedy
must be found in copious out>
pourings Of the Divine Spirit,
coming like Pentecostal gales.

The EdgeheId Coneert.

A grand and most successful concert it
wAs-that which occurred at McClure's
Hall, Edgefeld, last night, for the benefit
Of st. Aune's Church. The programme
was in exceedingly good taste, and
carried out 10 the satisfaction and
pleasure of all. The cantata, "COrO-
nation Of the Rose" was an attractive
feature in the choice "make up." and
elected raptures Of applause. It is a mu-
steal composition Of rare merit, and the
manner in which the different characters
were persOnated reflected credit upon Mrs.
w. j. Parkes, under whose charge the fifty
young ladies were trained. The person.
atOrs in this beautiful production were as
follows: Rose, Mrs. i. Q-S; Recluse, Mr..
S-g; CrOcus. Miss L. G-n; Dahlia. Miss
e. S-g; HeliOtTOpe, Miss S-h; MignOn-
cite, Miss P-S; JapOnica, Miss. F-n; Sun

Violet, Miss We; Tulip, Miss MI;
HOllyhOck, Miss C-S; DandeliOn, Miss
HI; Heather Bells, chorus by little chill
drth, led 10y Misses J. Bill and Y. VS..
A. The conclusion Miss B. Q-s was
crowned as the Queen, and 4 beautiful one
too. The instrumental duet by Misses
4. and l.. was artistic, and placed each of
the fair ones high on the roll Of amateur
fame. The solo 'Sweet Spirit Hear my
Prayer was very beautifully rendered by
Miss F., and q recitation from the little d.
+. was loudly encOred,
Part second opened with the Carnival of
Venice, by Miss W., in which she acquitted
herself handsomely. The solo and chorus,
amber tresse tied in blue" was charming
ly rendered and the instrumental duo "IIes
de Saville," by Misses T., showed a thorough
cultivation. Miss Mary W. was down on
the bills for an instrumental solo, "JeTU-
salem." As pianist she has no superior in
the country and will always receive a cor
dial welcome whenever and wherever she
appears. Mrs. p. and Messrs. 3. and 5. ap-
peared as the laughing trio, causing meri-
ment among all present. The instrumental
solo "Anvil Chorus" and the anthem
. Hark Hear the Angels Sing" closed the
concert proper, and afterwards We had the
MOcking Bird solo, by Mr.. S, with banjo,
harp, piano, guitar and piano accOmpaui-
ment. As grand finale the audience was
favored with a truthful representation Of
the Mulligan Guards, which created laugh
ter for all. Before closing, we must noti
forget to say that Prof Steinhagen rendered
valuable service in presiding at the piano
during the evening.
