A Gilded Fabrication.

The most popular ana contagious
lie of this season has been the little
tale about Mr.. WEIGH, of Hazlehurst
shipping toad frogs to the NORTH
and selling them by the wholesale al
fair prices. Sagacious newspaper
raen lauded the new industry and
spoke of the originator as a progres
>ive and enterprising gentleman.
They pointed GU, To farmers thu
folly of raising cotton, when the cul
tisation of toad frogs possessed 81
many more advantages. They ad
vised all the farmers to aba Ddon th'
staple and concentrate on the new
industry, aud explained that The
neglect of the toad freg crop wa,
the reason why our country had no,
prospeicd as it should.
1t is always surprising to see how
much more the average editor
knows about farming than the farm
er. The severest trouble Of The
journalistic life is 10 explaining til,
science Of agriculture to the agri
culturist, in teaching him the i'm
portaDce of fertilizers and the rela
tive value of the crops. While there
are many trials connected with th'
newspaper business, the ohstinacy
of the farmer in not cultivating th'
right sort of crops in the right way
is the greatest of them all. The ed
itor knows a great deal about al
the professions, but farming is un
doubtedly his forte.
With bis usual agricultural acu
men, he saw in the toad frog culture
a great and dazzling future for th'
South. Wes esourself, had prepared
an elaborate two column articl,
showing that the frog crop was thu
only thing that would develop on
resources and make the South bios
som like a rose. In the matter o
giving advice, concerning thing
that we know nothing about, th'
Comet is no slouch.
1t cast somewhat Of gloom owe
our feelings when Mr.. Welch, th'
| great original frog cnltivator, sail
that the whole story was the mos
internal lie that had ever darkene'
the atmosphere Of Copiah county,
Utica Comet.

pliment is that to pay to Christian families, to
our Sunday schools, to our superior advantages
in the acquisition of knowledge, to say that these
children are not old enoughl Surely this is pay
ing poor compliment to our civilization | can
select fifty boys and girls in our Sunday schools
who know more of the inspired word than some
of the apostles. 1t required miracle to con
vince the Apostle Peter that Christ was no re-
specter of persons. Are our children to grow up
and be actual sinners before they are ready for
Gods gracel The gospel contemplates nothing
of the kind. The idea that there must be some
startling conversion TO mark their fitness for en-
trance into the church is not contemplated by the
book. The thought of the gospel is that the
children shall be trained up in such
a way that as soon as they become
responsible they shall just as naturally take
their place in Gods family as any act OF their
lives. AT that period of life they are at
their very best. 1t is in childhood the faith fac
nlty is most fully developed. 1t is then the
heart is full of hope The child may be said
more literally to live by hope than at any time
IN life. Would it not have been better for
thousands Of men and women who now doubt or
disbelieve, to have become religious in child
hoods When the claims of the gospel are urged
upon them now they are skeptieal on this or
that point whereas, had they been trained up IN
the church, religion would have become the
habit Of their lives. / have no sympathy with
any sort of view that forbids the early introduce
ton OF children into the church. Some object,
saying they may go astray. Of course
they may go astray; men and women 60 astray,
but how much more likely are children to go
astray outside the restraining and blessed infiu
ences of the church. Do not discourage your
children in their early desire to become Christ
ians. Let us train them up in the way they
should go-in the fear and admonition of the
Lord. So trained. they will be blessings TO us,
and if we do not, they will plant our lives with
thorns and fill our lives with bitterness and sor-
row. May the Lord help us in this work, and
may the children give the dew and freshness of
their young lives to Him.
These services will be continued every evening
during this week, with the exception of Saturday
evening.

WHEN TO JOIN CHURCH.
Rev. David Walks Evening Discourse at the
Central Christian Church.


Central Christian Church,
Rev. David Walk preached at the Central
Christian Church last night He read the sixtb
chapter of the Epistle of Paul to the Epbesians
in which was his text; 'And We fathers, provoke
not your children to wrath, but bring them mn
in the nurture and admonition of the Lord He
said that in the spiritual care of children tbare
are Two extremes-infancy and maturity-and
baptist as l am, if | am to choose between the
two, it must result in the selection of the former
would rather baptize babies six days old than
to give adherence to the assumption that we must
not bias the minds of our children. brt wait
until they are of age to choose for themselves
The latter course is monstrous. The devil
is not idle during the first wears of
childhood. He is busy with them from the
beginning, day and night and at all times in
this sin-scourged world into which thew have
come and while parents are doing nothing for
the souls of their children the enemy of man
kind is sowing tares in the fruitful field. While
we leave our children entirely free we seem 70
forget th;tt this enemy is at work The ouestion
rs, when Is child old enough to be received info
the church, 1t is not a question of wears NJ ali
1t is question Of knowledge Whenever a
child knows that to tell lie is wrong and that
to tell the truth is right, that to take what does
not DeiQng to II is wrong, that to swear is wrong,
that d1sQpedtence is wrong and to obey is RIGHT
1t IS Old enough, and then is the time il is ulged
that children of eight, of ton. or of twelve
years do not know enough to become CHRISTIANS
TO come into the church What kind of com
