The Practice of Putting Preachers.
Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle.


The relations between the pulpit and the
press have grown more intimate as the In
huence of the latter has been elevated and
broadened, and ministers of the Gospel have
come to acknowledge of late the valuable
aid rendered them in their efforts for society
in the cause of morality, by secular news
papers. That the press can be used as a
powerful instrument for good, may not be
denied, and in every city, North and South,
its influence is even utilized by preachers
in comba ing evils which can not be reached
from the pulpit. In many ways can news
papers be available to the preacher; fire.
quently in publishing sermons which are
scattered over miles of territory and brought
TO thousands Ofeyes, are the emanatiOns of the
pulpit itself transmitted to enlarge congre-
cations of readers. So complete and cordial
has this relationship been becoming that
ministers, in acknowledging their indebted
ness to the press, have been met by fatter-
ing encomiums in the columns of the papers
themselves; and it is Just the latter practice
we wish to notice.
The fault growing out of this practice of
putting preachers lies oftener in the tendency
than in the spirit, for such notices are fire.
quently dictated by the kindest spirit, and
may be written in the best of taste and the
most appropriate of times. Where pleasing
comments are made upon the work of a faith
full pastor or earnest preacher, at proper
times and in temperate ways, we fail to see
in them anything out of place or inconsider-
ate; for even the most modest divine could
not object to hear good word spoken of his
work among his people. But frequently
and the tendency is growing every day
such comments degenerate into puff" of
preachers, as boosts OF sta- actors or stump
speakers, when the practice becomes distaste-
full and disgusting. 1t lowers a preacher to
the common level of creatures, content with
the blessings of a public print; makes him
ridiculous in the eyes of his own people and
impairs his usefulness in the community in
which he lives. Such general use of the
name of minister can not be productive of
greater evils-for with freedom to praise
comes also readiness to criticise, and no
respect or reverence for the high dignity of
his station will finally prevent daily news
papers from rasping him upon doctrinal points
and moral questions as thoroughly as they
would attack quack or expose a sophist.

/ will tell you true story for the children

son in his or her own way. The bit of a girl
of whom told you in my last letter is not
one of the "goody-good" children, but per-
feet bunch of mischief who needs constant
Watching. She had taken fancy to play
with the key of her fathers desk, often tax
ing it out for the purpose. One day ne told
her never to take it out again, fearing it
might be lost. Some few days after he was
lying half asleep on the sofa, the little
daughter playing beside him-the sudden
stiffness of the room reused him to the fact
that she had disappeared, and seeing the
door to the next room where the desk was
open, he stole softly toward it to see what
the child was doing. There she stood just
in front of the coveted key, both tiny hands
slasped behind her back, and leaning forward
on her tiptoes she kissed 1t gently. The
father crept unseen to the sofa, and in q
moment she came and stood beside him, both
hands still folded behind her, and said, "My'

Prove IL by Mother.
IChildren's Friend.1

While driving along the street one day
last winter in my sleigh, little boy six or
seven years Old, asked me the usual question,
"Please may / rider"
1 answered him, "Yes, if you are a good
boy"
He climbed into the sleigh; and when 1
again asked, "Are you a good boy?" no
looked up pleasantly and said, "Yes, sir"
"Can you prove it?"
eyes, sir"
"By whom?"
why, my ma" said he promptly.
1 Thought to myself, here is a lesson for
boys and girls. When child feels and knows
that mother not only loves, but has conf
dence in him or her, and can prove their
obedience, truthfulness and honesty by mo-
Their, they are pretty safe. That boy will be
a JOY to his mother while she lives. She can
trust him out of her sight, feeling that he
will not run into evil. do not think he will
run into evil. do not think he will go into
the saloon, thetheater, or the gambling house.
Children who have praying mothers, and
mothers who have children they can trust,
are blessed indeed. Boys and girls, can you
"prove by mother" that you are good? Try
to deserve the confidence of your parents,
and every one else.

The Pride of the School Girl.
TSt. Louis Times

In one of the St. Louis public schools
many of the children who came from dis
lance were accustomed to bring lunch, and
thus save long walk home for dinner. They
generally ate it together and had merry
time. Among those who stopped one of the
teachers noticed little girl who never
brought any lunch, but who looked wistfully
at her playmates as they were eating the
noon meal. But one day the girl brought
her bundle also, wrapped in paper. At noon
she did not go with the Others but remained
at her desk as if preferring te eat alone. The
teacher, thinking her unsocial, advised her
to go to the lunch-room with her playmates
and walked toward the desk to take the bum
de But the little girl, bursting into sobs,
said, "Don't touch it, teacher; and oh, teacher
don't tell, please. It's only blocks" The
poor girl had no dinner to bring, but wished
to keep up appearances" so as not to seem
unlike her schOolmates. And she was one
of the best scholars in the school. She was
very dear to the teachers heart after that
incident

ABOLISH THE. OFFICE.

There airs great many candidates
for the position of Warden Of the State
Prison. As a-matter of coarse all of

pointed. Would it not be as well for

taxpayers and as an earnest of pledges
to reform the State government, to
make. no exception to the rsle III the
matter Of disappointment. This could
be done by making the Lieutenant Gov.
ernor, by virtue of his office, Warden
of the State Prison, as was the case
prior. to 1873. BY an act of the Legis-
lature of 1879, the Warden is to be
elected by both Houses of the Legisla-
ture in joint convention. The Demo
Gratis will have a. majority N that con-
vention, and can elect whom they please.
to the Wardenship. By repeating the
Act, of 1913 and making the Lieutenant
Governor e,c-oficio Warden, the Demo
Gratis will set their Republican friends
in the Nevada Legislature an example
worthy of emulation by abolishing an
Office, with salary of some $1,000 o
year, which they could, if 50. disposed,
fill with one of their partisans as a re-
ward for services rendered. The Ward
enship affords the Democrats splendid
opportunity to prove to their 7constitu-
ents, that they are sincere in their pro-
LESSONS OF reform and the reduction of
taxation, and if thsy do not use it fer
that purpose, it must be taken for
granted that. likethe Republicans, their
pledges and professions before election,
are forgotten as soon as the votes are
connted.

The jury in the case of the trial of
Parnell and others, in Dublin, is COM
posed of eight Catholics, three Protest
ants and one Quaker. The Attorney =
General opened the case for the Crown
in firm but moderate, tone. He said
the object of the conspiracy in which
the traversers were engaged was to
cause the social communication of a
number of persons and make their lives
not worth having. He pointed out the
absurdity of the idea of parcelling out
Ireland among'a population of 5000
900, which would only add to the
misery of the unfortunate country.
He severely condemned the policy Of
the Land League, which, he said, advo-
Gated freedom, yet brought all it's power
to bear in the coercion of private indi
viduals. The Government, he said,
was bound to institute proceedings to
put down the agitation.

THE COURT QUESTION.

= We have, in a former issue, pointed out
le delay that at present exists in the admin
traiion of justice in this county. That a
,medy should be supplied by the territorial
overnment ought to be conceded by all.
Ihe nature of the remedy we submit ought
!, be such as to be of the greatest convenience
. the whole county, and so far as may be
e~rmanent-and that would be a division OF
ne county. By some who oppose this RENE
v it is insisted that we are the s'banner
ountyr of the territory. That a division
could be death to our political supremacy;
bat a just pride in our political Importance
nould hold us together as one county. To
g it seems that the advocates of this position
|iistake the object for which governments
'hould be organized and supported. We are
lot Of the opinion that it is any part of the
.uty of the government to protect ''banner
Dunties," to foster the interests of political
'Arties, or to promote the schemes of ambi-
fous politicians. But We do think it a pri-
nary duty Of the government to protect the
|itizen in his legal rights, and in case of their
~aoiaiicn to give him an opportunity to OBJ
ain convenient, cheep and speedy redress.
