A TOUCHING AND BEAUTIFUL TESTING
NAL.

NAL.
| The power which Mrs. Salle F. Chaplin,
Supt. of Southern work, N. w. G. 7. u,
| has developed as thrilling and magnetic
advocate for temperance, has been phe-
nominal. She is popular everywhere for
ladyli and gentle character, as for in
tellect and eloquence. 1t became known
to some of her co workers, and to the
| localities in which she has labored with
such great results, that Mrs. c. birthday
occurred during the present week, and
that she was to pass it in her native
| Charleston. A magnificent surprise was
arranged for her. Her pastor, Rev. DR..
Vedder, was let into the secret, and dur
ing last week his house was literally mum
dated with kilograms, letters of congratu
Iation, and express packages of elegant
and valuable birthday mementoes. While
Mrs. Chaplin was dining at his home, he pre-
sented them to the astonished lady in such
way as to give each gift and greeting it's
individual place and power. 1t seems as
though the list was endless. and it repre-
sented every part of the United States
North, East, West and South. 1t con-
tanned host of names distinguished in
every walk of honest and useful life with
every name signed to the expression Of
love and admiration. The stream of gifts
has not yet ceased-the greetings con-
tinue, for the time permitted to arrange
this masked masked battery of goodwill,
was not sufficient for all to be in time.
This city is to be congratulated that one
of it's daughters is the object of such en-
thusiastic regard and affection.

RICHMOND. March 20. 1876

RICHMOND, March 90, 1886.
To the Wonadas' Christian Temperance
Union of Stanton:
Dear Sisters,-Mrs. r. D. Wilson hav-
ing removed to another State, the Office Of
State President devolves upon me as LIST
Vice President, of which fact you have
been Informed by the Corresponding
Secretary.
In order to proper fulfiiment Of the
duties of the office, it is necessary that we
should be in frequent communication
with each other. The people of the State
will shortly be called upon to decide a
question than which none can be more
and religious condition of the community.
1t is expected within the next few
months nearly all of the voting pnblic will
be called upon to say at the ballot box
whether the traffic Of spirituous liquors
shall continue with all its innumerable
evils. OF whether peace and prosperity
shall smile on our dearly loved State
AS woman suffers most from the de
grading effect of intemperance, so prohi-
bition would work for her the greatest
amount Of JOY and happiness. 1t behooves
us, therefore, to lend all our aid in behalf
Of "God, and Home, and Native Land.'
To this end we must ,oork, ac0rk, acork
with untiring energy. In proportion as
drunkenness brings misery upon us, so
will prohibition bring peace and comfort.
To the work, then, dear sisters! Organ
ize your committee for active service, and
whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might. The liquor party fully
organized, compact, with abundant means
at their command confront us. We can
not meet them at the ballot box but we
may, with Gods help, aid in frustrating
their plans. Their sole object is to heap
up riches unto themselves by destroying
the peace Of our homes. One of the best
means to accomplish the end we have is
the distribution of temperance literature.
The work before us is no easy one. 1t
will require great deal of thought, time,
and care, but we will be amply rewarded
in the accomplishment of our purpose.
Give it your best endeavors and most
earnest prayers, always looking to Him
from whom all help comeJh, feeling
assured that in His own good time, we
shall be rewarded.

State President.

TheiBishop's Decree.
[From the Sunday Telegram. Atlanta. ]

From the SUNDAY Telegram, Atlanta
The Sunday Telegram has refrained from
entering a discussion of the decree
of the Bishop in DR.. Armstrong;
case. for prudential reasons. We had
previously spoken our animus. and the
public understood our position. We have
now reached point where silence is no
longer necessary. Unable to find single
mitigating circumstance warranting the
severity Of the Bishops sentence, we are
forced to characterize it as one of the
most desperately unjust ever known in the
history of this or any other country. We
do not care to discuss the findings of the
court that is a matter that those men
must settle with God. But with every
possible proof of DR.. Armstrong; inno-
cence of everything but an acknowledged
indiscretion-an indiscretiOn eXcusable
before any law or tribunal of humanity
the Bishop cut the limit of his power in
half. and deposed DR.. Armstrong from
the ministry for five years.
The community, here and elsewhere,
waited patiently for the end to come. 1t
came at last, and as great and good man
as ever breathed Gods blessed atmos-
phere has been dethroned. He has fallen
mot like Lucifer, never to hope again
but like the gentle Nazarene who was trans
will but enhance the glory of his rising
And rise he will When the memory of
those who condemned DIR. Armstrong has
been blotted out forever: when their
ashes lie forgotten when their deeds are
thought of. as they seldom will be, this
eloquent martyr and christian hero will
have his name emblazone in letters of
gold while around his glorious head will
circle the halo OF Gods sun-lit crown.
The church has given to itself the
doubtful pride of saying, "We are the
law!" And such pride The protection
of church secured at the misery OF one
of it's own chosen leaders The sanctity
of its prided apostolic succession en-.
HANGED by the basest injustice to man
They set themselves higher than the God
that gave them being, for God forgiyes,
and they do not. There is no humanity
in what these men have done. There is
no charity in their souls, no love in their
hearts. Think they that the world will
approve their decree? Think they that
God will say, s'Well done, thou good and
faithful servants?" Not he! God is
just. if they be not so; and as surely as
heaven is above earth, and as certainly as
the stars shine in it, their day of reckon
ing will come.
