rrence that comes from knowledge,
from reflection, from divine lead
ershlp, must preeede this state.
The blessing of sanctifcation is
conferred on repentance flowing
from these convictions and trust
IN the merits of Christ. This,
them is work subsequent to JUS
litigation, yet prior to death and
pHrgatory.
How is man sanctifedA By
the Holy spirit of God working in
his heart and through the atone
ment of Jesus applied to his soul.
This is Gods part in the work.
What must man do? Two theo-
RES have been presented Works
and Faith. Man strives to be
perfect and after awhile grows
into it by personal effort. But
the more scriptural doctrine is
that it is of faith. Man feels the
need of entire sanctifcation, he
yearns for the perfect rest from
sin, he realizes that with man it
is impossible, but remembers that
with God all things are possible,
and SO simply resigns himself un-
to God; simply trusts his heart,
tongue, mlpa life to God to be
"kept for the Masters use" He
simply commits his being to God
to be rested, kept, guided, mould
ed, governed and possessed forev-
er. He knows in whom he has
believed and Is persuaded that he
is able to|keep that which has
been committed to him against
that day He is persuaded that
neither death nor life, nor angels,
nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come,
nor height, nor depth, nor any
other creature, shall beable to-
separate us from the love of God,
which is IN Christ Jesus our
Lord.
These views are offered as sgg-
gestive, not as exhaustive, of this
great practical Question of the re-
ligious life which has been so
often misunderstood and misrep-
resented.

Highly respectable people as
told by tile Atlanta correspondent
of the Augusta Chronicles The
death of Maria H. Foster, color
cd girl, discloses a story of fdeli-
ty Of white guardians to the ne
gro race: Eighteen years ago @
colored woman was dying In At
lanta: just before her death she
begged Mrs. A. W. Pickett, the
wife Of a wesI-to-do citizen, to see
that her three months-old baby
was cared for The child was
shiny black, showing the pure
Ethiopian strain. Mrs Fickett
took it home and soon took such
interest in the little girl that she
refused to part with her. In this
manner a relation similar to that
of mother and daughter sprang
up, in which tile lady had the full
sympathy Of her husband. The
girl grew into young womanhood,
absolutely without tile knowledge,
so far as her associations went,
that she was a negress. a few
months ago, Maria, for such was
the girls name, contracted con-
sumption. All through her fatal
illness she was watched by Mrs.
Fickett with the solitude Of a
mother, and when the end came
the dead girls eyes were closed
by her kind friend. The coffin
containing tAerewaips was placed
i'll the parlor. and every honor
was paid which could have been
rendered beloved daughter. Mr..
and Mrs, Fickett arc highly re-

An improbable Story.

The following story, which we
find in one of our exchanges, we
give Rof what it is WORTH, and, for
truth, we don't think it is worth
much:
In family residing on Wood
land avenue, Cleveland, Ohio, a
little girl was playing not loag
ago with a playmate from neigh
boris family. They were playing
at small centre table, and the
little gifl noticed presently that
when one of them put her hand
on the table it would lift up and
down, and they finally called 9TH
ers of the family to witness the
strange behavior of the table. AZ
ter experimenting sometime the
little girl climbed upon the table,
saying: "Now let's see if you can
move" To their astonishmeht
the table began to move along the
fioor with the little girl, on it
She jumped. off saying; "Now
move yourselfif you can" The
table started off, moving across
the AooE, no one. touching it. eff
you can move SO WE'LL" said the
little girls mother, ''mQye into the
next room and kiss the baby in
the crib there" To their AMAZE
ment the table started off, moved
across the floor, through the door
into the room where the baby was
sleeping in the crib, and tipped
up with its edge as close to the
babes face as it could get.

Nip Them Now.

The recent, and now pending Ia
Dor troubles in Chicago, says the
Thomasyille Times, have brought
to the surface a species of SCUM,
a class which, sooner or later,
will give the government trouble.
It is composed of socialists, COM
mqnists, rioters, agrarians and ev-
cry element of a lawless, reckless
character. 1t is better that this
dangerous element be given to un-
derstand now that they cannot
transplant their socialistlc and
dynamite principles to this cogn-
try. True, this is free country,
free to all the world, but it should
not be converted into a harbor for
murderers, assassins and dynami-
ters from Europe. We take the
following extract from the press
reports of meeting held in open
daylight in the city of Chicago,
last Sunday, and in the presence
of the sworn officers of law and
order:
"The crowd was unusually
large, and the utteranCe unusual
ly sanguinary. The second on
the list of orators was John Hen
ry. He said he felt that the time
had come for all the socialists,
and others who hated law and or
der, to rise up and burn and kill.
How many of you have guns
and pistols?' he demanded fierce
ly.
4 have and T. were answers
from all parts of the crowd,
Then get them ready he re-
sumed, with an effort toward dead
ly significance. In few days,
perhaps tomorrow; we may want
to use them The speaker point
ed out amid great applause, how
himself and his hearers could
march down the bouleyards, the
high ways Of the purse proud and
aristocratic, and sweep them from
the face Of the earth. He conclu-
ded by naming prominent citizens
and capitalists as enemies to man
kind, and with other speakers of
the occasion condemned the strik-
ers ON account Of the lenieney
with their oppressors:
Now the correct thing in g case
of that kind would have been to
turn loose battery of Gatlin
guns, loaded TO- the very muzzle
with grape and capister, IL this
foul brood Is TINS allowed to defy
law and order, without check or
then the country might
as we'll surrender to them.

about it. Knowing ones on the
detective corps assert that they
have a clue to the real robbers.
The developments | will send you
later. They think possibly Nolan
may have had some connection
with it, as he was seen near the
depot here last night watching
the pay car, but they think they
know the parties who ran off the
train, and will have them before
midnight.

Sam Jones Criticised.
Macon Telegraph.

As 10 Sam Jones, we merely
decline to believe that vulgarity
in the pulpit accomplishes any
permanent good. So far as Sam
Jones proceeds as a preacher of
the gospel we uphold and honor
him, but when he leaves the gos-
pei to denomce in coarse and vul-
gar language classes and people
we know to be as pure as may be
found, he becomes demagouge
working to attain notoriety, and
as such we speak of him.
The Telegraph is secular pa
per, dealing with such objects and
subjects as day by day appear. 1t
has neither time, space nor incli-
nation to weave fne-spun theories
nor strain doubtful arguments for
or against any person or state of
affairs. 1t loves truth, chastity,
honesty, straightforwardness and
fairness; it despises liars, hypo-
critics and thieves. At the same
time, it tries to remember that al
lowances must be made for the
weakness of humanity. What it
says is spoken openly. Ifit errs and
is conscious Of error, it redresses
the wrong committed. If it be-
lieyes itself in the right, threats
nor money can move it. Any jour
nal that is less than this, is not fit
to be carried into the family cir
Gle.
We have in Aind to- day great
preacher who spoke Gods word to
the people, bound up the wound
ed and ministered unto the sick;
he was all gentleness and purity,
all love; his ministry was the min
iistry Of love, his example an ex-
ample for all ages. When he left
his great work in mortal hands he
babe those who received it go into
all the world and carry on this
work. We must doubt the man
who declines to accept his Master
as his type. We cannot reconcile
the methods and the language of
Sam Jones with the man who died
on Calvafy. One tells a young
man that he "ought to have been
III hell before he eyer saw a
church." because he takes a dram
the other stretches out his arms a
refuge for the blackest sinner on
earth. One says of a girl who af-
lows young man to clutch her
arm, ''you are as licentious as
hell" the other says of one who
had sunk to the lowest depths, "let
him who is withoutsin first cast a
stone" One says that NO society
woman can ever reach heaven; ;the
other goes into this society, mixes
with its members and turns the
water to wine for their pleasure.
One is as different from the other
as night from day. We prefer
the latter.

Newspaper Barnacles.

Every newspaper pWblliTs5l lhs,esss is
cursed with an occasional subscri-
ber whose soul seems to have
been made of the fag end of mate
rial, and scrimp pattern at that.
We are always thankful when
such lit themselves from our list.
The sooner the better. They gen
orally refuse to take the paper
out of the post Office after reading
it for twq or three years without
paying a cent for it-a plain steal
with insult added-or else they
move away without saying a word
or paying a nickle. Some others
all at once discover that they nev-
er ordered the paper, never want
ed it, or received it irregularly-
not moro than half the time
won't pay for it. LII either case it
is a qowoFdly snap, sreh as no
honest man would be guilty of.
The proper way to stop a paper is
to pay up first and then stop 1T az
forwards. If you are a gentleman
and don't owe cent, walk into
the office, look the gentleman in
change full in the eye, and tell
him you don't wish it, on can't af-
ford to keep it longer. II you
are on the hog plan, chuck it lack
into the postofiice and mark it

LIFE IN MODERN PERSIA,
Queer Scenes and Customs in the Land Gov
erncd by tho Shah.l

erncd by tho Shah!
New York Sun.
Mr.. s. G.. w. Benjamin United States minis
ter to Persia who was recently recalled to Wash
lngton, arrived last week in this city, and re-
manned here several days. He is short man,
with reddish hair and mustache, and strongly
marked Puritan features. There is, however
nothing else Purtanical about him. He is an
artist and writer, and pleasant conversation
alst In speaking about Persia, he said:
Il arrived there on June l, 1888. The
counts of my reception and the presents be-
slowed upon me have been greatly exagger-
ated 1t has always been the custom for the
King to send horse to each new minister on
the latters arrival and the minister naturally
makes present in return to the man bringing
the horse. 1t would be an insult not to give
return present, and the value of that present
depends on the rank of the person to whom it is
given. | received the horse, as we'll as the hos
pitality shown me- in the name of the United
States government, not for myself; the Depart
ment at Washington so understood it, and
readily met the moderate gratuities which were
spent on the occasion-gratuities common in
more or less degree in other countries than
Persia. The horse is now at the legation, and
belongs to the United States government. 1t is
of fine Arabian blood, and has won several
races. Every other legation there spent more
money in this way than did l didn't have it
to spend, beca use as our government has only
mere bagatele Of four hundred millions sailed
down IN the Treasury cannot allow the eX-
pendltures made by the old monarchies of
Europe, but must give them the precedence. I
vas however, obliged to make some presents at
my own expense.
The European colony at Tcheran, the CAPT
tai of Persia comprises, including, the legations,
about 300 persons and they live in the new city.
The majority inhabit the ordinary Persian
house This is one story high, of unburned
brick, and built around one more courtyards.
The great thing sought in Persia is secluson and
privacy. In walking through street one sees
nothing but these walls of houses, some fifteen
or twenty feet high, with Hat roofs, and with no
windows whatever. They covered with
plaster to keep the brick from being worn away
by the RAIN and if kept in repair last for centu-
ries. The monotony of the walls is relieved by
holdings and cornices. The entrance is small
door richly decorated with Saracenic work. The
Persians have always been clever decorative
architects. Persian architects built the Alham-
bra, in Granada, and originated the Mogul archi
