| REV. A. D. Sears has returned from the
State Baptist Convention in Nashville, In
Which he took an active interest. At his
advanced age he possesses all his intellectual
powers In their full strength. With the acute
perception and widened vision possessed
alone by true genius he ever advocates prin-
ciples in preference to mere expediency, and
on no question now before the people are his
utterances more learned and statesmanlike
than on that of prohibition. On this ne takes
the high ground that the ballot-box is not the
place to decide questions OF morals, but that
q higher moral teaching to our young men
would guide them in the way to truth, and
"truth will set them Free"
