"CHRIsTIAN SOCIOLOGY"

Synopsis Of the address delivered al
the Chautauqua grounds Tuesday
by Rev. II. NJ. Du Bose, of Houston
Sociology" is new term. For IL we
are indebted to Mr.. Herbert Spencer OF
England. Its radical meaning is tho
science Of Of society; but the term
Christian Sociology has become more
comprehensive in its scope aud signi'
ties the genius Of Christianity in its re-
lations to man rs social being.
Christianity Is u great iact-a great
social fact. No fact IL more clearly
demonstrated; no truth more assuredly
fixed in the minds and convictions OF
humanity, Our work 10 this great so
cial movement is the study OF Christian
ity az fact 10 all its relations to man
as n social and intellectual being. We
can never forget that the Bible is our
text book and that Christianity is our
theme. From every standpoint in the
wisdom and knoledge OF man, we are TO
seek highway TO the great central
truth in the religion of Jesus.
Christianity is a self prophesying fact;
Juggernaut of Ind is year y carried
forth in his royal car amid the shouts
and acclamations Of his devotees; hut
the religion of Jesus moves forth not
alone on festal DAYS but ever in triumph
through all ages and chimes.
Christianity is -perpetuatng' Its
heart of fire beats with an unwasting energy,
and reioices in an eternal task. 1t IL, fur
thor. nm organized fact II alone contains
the cohesive force that can hold the nations
together, and promote the brotherhood of
man. Christianity furnishes the one sure
evidence that God is in humanity This ia
the best day the world ever saw. To-mor-
row will be better. Each day the world,
through the organizing power of Christian
ity moves on toward higher goal.
After making brief local application of
the subject, tho speaker closed with the an
nouncement that the work of the present
session of the Assembly but outlined the
work it is hoped to complete.

SAN MARCOS, Aug. s, 1885

San MARCOS, Aug. S, 1885.
To-day closed one of the most successful
and satisfactory institutes ever held here.
The number of teachers enrolled during the
four weeks was ninety, Only eleven went
into the examination. OF these, three fell
out the first day, three secured second-grade
certificates, and five st-grade. An indie
pendent teachers ASSOCIATION of which Prof.
]. II. Hill, of Burnet county, was president,
held its sessions in the afternoon of alter
nate days. The exercises consisted of mu-
sic, Rotations, quotations, methods, spell
ing, ETC. At the final session the following
resolutions were adopted by a vote of the
institute:
/, Having attended the institute for the
past weeks, we are prepared to speak advis-
eddy of the great benefit these schools afford
to those who attend them, and urge upon
all teachers the Importance of their Coop
Grafton if they would keep abreast of the
times, aud well up in matter and methods
= As means of social culture. which no
teacher can afford to neglect, we esteem
them % the first Importance.
g. We look upon the selection of San Mar
cos as the place for holding one of the Nor
mails, as n most happy one. Its genial, cul-
tured, hospitabie people, the rare beauty of
it, natural surroundings, and, withal, its
healtheulness of situation, distinguish it as
one of the very best points in the state for
these summer gatherings, where work aud
recreation can be so advantageously COM
bined.
A. This institute returns cordial thanks to
Prof Prtchett, of Coronal Institute. for use
of rooms and apparatus, and for other evil
dences of kind consideration.
5. We regard Superintendent w. G. Rote,
orr principal as an able and efficient edu
Gator, and polished gentleman. We shall
part from him with regret, and remember
him with pleasure.
g. We desire to express our sense of CRATE
full appreciation of the labors of those of our
number who have rendered assistance to the
principal in the work of the session. Prom
inent among these. are: Mrs. Dunbar and
Miss Clifton, in history; Mrs. Garfield, in
geography; Prof. Thomas, of Prairie Lea,
in algebra; Prof j. P. Rote, in geometry;
j. w. Jennett, in natural science. and the
Misses Franklin and Smithers, of Coronal

j. w. JENNETT,
Secretary,

The Normal institute, which has been in

The amount of liquor that "the in
telligent democratic voter can
chamber, has been considered
standing joke. How ill-timed it was,
however, will appear when the follow
ing words from Neal Dow, the great
Temperance advocate, are read. He
says: 1.-THE republican party was in
possession in Portland for ten years,
from 1876 to April 5, 1885, and the
grog-shops were not diminished by a
SINGLE grog-shop. Then the demo-
cratic party, by the aid of the prohib-
ition vote, were put into office, and in
twelve days thereafter the grog-shops
were wiped out. I am republican.
a pretty big one, as you see, but we
republicans of Portland put out the
republicans who would not put down
the grog-shops, and we put in the
democratic party. A writer in the
New York Tribune the day after the
election, called this "the suicidal pol
icy of the prohibitionists of Port
land. Suicidal, was it, when in twelve
days this suicidal policy shut up all
the grog-shops in Portland?

TO OUR FRIENDS AND THE PUBLIC

And never broughtto min'r
Should auld acquaintance be forget,
And days o. lang synef"
As, during the present session OF
our Summer Institute, there will no
doubt be goodly number OF people
of our own county, as we'll as from
abroad, in attendance at this place,
we venture to suggest that it will be
a good time for the patrons OF the
FREE PRESS to settle up old scores,
and renew for another period OF
time. Also for such as are not on it's
list, to call and enrol their names
Also for persons from q distance to
make the acquaintance Of the paper,
and arrange to secure it's visits as the
old journalistic representative of this
town and section.
The FREE PRESS now numbers
nearly dozen years under the charge
of its present editor and proprietor.
It has seen San Marcos rise from its
primeval state as q dull little hamlet,
to it's present prosperous and prom
Using position. 1t has, during all this
time, bnen steadfast in its devotion to
the best interests of the community in
which it has had it's home. 1t there
fore thinks it may fairly claim to
share in the more prosperous condi-
ton which it has contributed its mite
toward bringing about. We ask the
public to consider this matter, and de-
eide for themselves whether it's claim
is not Just It is well known that
the paper has never been found want
ing in just commentator of every
worthy word and work in this com
munity, while it has hot hesitated to
criticise and condemn, when duty to
truth and the people required it. Be-
sides always championing the mate
rial interests of our locality, the FREE
PRESS has ever been the steadfast adj
yocate of Law and Order, Peace, Tenn
perance, Universal Education, and
Practical Christianity IN all it's legiti-
mate manifestations.
It is no wonder, therefore, that
while it has hosts of friends, it also
has some bitter enemies; but it being
we'll known that the latter have been
made in consequence of its devotion
to what it conceived to be the claims
of duty and the best interests of soci-
ETY., the fact of it's having thus made
enemies, should be placedto its credit
by all good people.
The present prosperous outlook,
consequent upon the prospect of n
full crop, prompts the suggestion
that now is o frst-rate time to
invite an extension of the circulation
of the old San Marcos FREE PRESS.
We will be glad to take the subscrip
tons of any reliable party, payment
to be made the first of January next.
We ought, and hope to double our
subscription list within a year In
order to encourage tho sending OF
of copies abroad. we will furnish two
copies for $3.50.
We respectfully solicit the kind CO.
operation of friends of the FREE Press
at the various postofices as voluntary
agents, and will allow the usual COM
mission. All postmasters are also
authorized to act az agents. We also
desire to secure the services of active
and reliable agents to solicit for us
specially. to whom liberal commits
sion will be paid.
