Acknowledgements to Zone of Them.

Editor Sentinel Il had fully determined
TO take no notice of the many filings which
was sure were in store for my humble
efforts-made through the columns of your
old standard Democratic journal--to defend
what then thought, and still think, to be
the right in regard to the local option law for
this county, and to submit the case TO popu-
lar review without further comment from
me. But as a correspondent in your last
paper, who signs himself "One of Them"
has expressed a fear that have Overlooked
some OF the most important passages" bear
ing on this question, and has purported TO
give one or two of these most important pas
sages for my especial edification, feel con-
strained TO notice them.
The passages which he quoted are TO be
found in the 14th chapter of Pauls Epistle
to the Romans, Goth and 21st verses-the
first of which is as follows: "For meat, de-
stroy not the work of God +; all things in
deed are pure, but 1t is evil for that man
who eateth with offense." Now, your cor
respondent aforesaid, in his attempted quo
tation OF this verse, has left out the most
important part of 1.-THE very part which
shows its true meaning: "For meat, destroy
not the work of God" Nothing is said in
this verse, however, about drink.)
The 21st verse says: ut is good neither
TO eat flesh nor drink wine, nor anything
whereby thy brother stumbleth or is Of
Tended or is made weak" Now, the great
error of your correspondent is his miscon-
struction of the true intent and meaning of
the words "meat" and drink" as contained
in the above passages. They were used
iguratively to denote faith, and were not
intended to be taken In their literal sense
as is fully shown in the two next succeed
ing verses Indeed, would prefer if these
words could be construed literally las my
friend Zone of Them" has been so prompt
in doing for then 1t would afford me oppor-
tunity to show that 1t was meat and not
drink that was mostly to be feared-as drink
is there made secondary to meat all the while.
But that these words were used to denote
faith, is fully corroborated in the 18th verse,
which says: "For the kingdom of God is
not meat and drink, but righteousness and
peace and joy in the Holy Ghost"-just
such righteousness Including, as it did, of
course, faith) as Noah possessed when God
said unto him, "Come thou and all thy
house into the ark, for thee have l seen
righteous before me in this generation. See
LIST verse, 7th chap. of Genesis Knowing,
too, as God did at the time Qor everything
is present with Cod that Noah was in the
habit of being intoxicated.
No, am as much opposed TO intemper-
ance as anybody, but am equally averse to
prohibiting the use Of liquor to the many
who do not abuse 1t, merely to reach the
few who do abuse it, Punish the guilty, but
never the innocent along with them.

DEATHS


DEPARTED this life on the 9th of March,
1888, at the residence Of his father, Mr.. Seth
w. Warfield, near Laurel, Md, DR.. JAMES
H. Fl. WAKEFIELD, aged AZ years.
DIR. Warfeld graduated at the Medical COL
lege In Baltimore during the late war, and
Immediately entered the Confederate ser
vice as surgeon in Early's division. After
the war he resumed the practice of medicine
in his native county. He possessed many
qualities which endeared him to his asso-
ciates. Urbane and courteous, generous and
kind, he was great favorite in society, and
no company in the circle of his acquant-
ances seemed fully made up unless he was
present, but consumption marked him for
its victim, and 1t soon became apparent to
his friends that his days were numbered.
Everything that medical science could do TO
battle the ravages of disease was done. Not
withstanding the efforts ofskilled physicians
and the loving attention of kind friends DIR.
Warfeld babe adieu TO the things of earth,
and we trust has entered upon the Joys of a
never ending eternity, for before his death
he sought the forgiveness Of his sins and
professed to obtain through the merits of his
Saviour that peace that will enable the dying
to pass through the cold stream and anchor
at the shores of eternal deliverance.
A large cencourse attended the funeral,
which was conducted by Rev. Dr. Charles
II. Waters, and all that was mortal of James
II. II. Wardeld was consigned to its kindred
earth to remain until the Archangels trump
calls the numberless to their eternal reward.

suggested, and they can easily estimate the
additional cost it would be TO us to adopt
that system when state that in the details
of his disbursements the item OF salary and
compensation of County Commissioners,
Treasurer and Clerk is altogether $4,000,
which is nearly offset by the net gain Of in

My object in calling the attention Of our
people to this and kindred subjects is 70 sug-
gest that when we propose, in the indul-
gence of a spirit of enterprise, or inordinate
ambition for flaming legislative record, to
make innovations upon long established Gus
toms, if we would avoid the quicksands
that lay along the pathway of inexperience
we should not too eagerly and hastily en-
brace any proposition that may appear under
the guise and gilt-edge plumage Of reform.

Collection Of Taxes.

Mr. Editor While we have many ques-
tons of public interest agtating the minds
of the people, when we consider the fact
that the burden of running the vast ma

very heavy, there can certainly be no sub
ject OF greater importance to the great body
Of the people, who have this burden to bear,
than that Of finance, whether pertaining to
the Nation, the State or the county, there
fore the following may be of interest to
your readers.
