Mr.. Editor-Allow me to state the
following:
On the Dist and ODD | visited Rev.
J. II. Love at Haywood. | am pleased
to say that he is doing we'll. We had
full turnout, though the weather
was very :disagreable. Bro. Love is
teaching the public school there.
My next conference was at Glover's
Grove, Elder S. W. jackson in charge.
We had fine time in conference.
Bro. Jackson is we'll beloved by his
congregations, and he is doing we'll.
February 4th, l visited Rev. j. d
McKoy, at Gees Grove. A part of
the officers were not satisfied with the
nomination Of the trustees | showed
them that the law was, the members
elected themselves and not the con-
ference believe Bro McKoy will
do great good on this circuit
February 18th, came to Egypt, on
Rev. 4. b Benefits circuit. He is
doing good work, and they seem to
be well pleased with him. He raised
every dollar of my money, and l
raised about ten dollars for him,
though we had rough day.
February 18th, held conference at
Carthage Rev. Z. W. Dix, the
hero. He had everything in order.
His circuit was well represented. They
seem to love him much, as a new min
lister on the work. We had large
congregation out. | believe Bishop
j. W. Hood, ID, has sent the right
man there to fill Elder d. A. McKoy's
place, which he filed four years with
much dignity. We certainly had a
nice time A few wanted to take the
CHARLOTTE MESSENGER, and | hope
they will. We raised 1854 during
our conference. This is well for Car
thagc. Elder Dix is teaching school
at Cameron.
February oath, | arrived on Rev.
4. NJ. b. Williams circuit-New Zion
Bro. Williams is doing well. We had
nice time. He is moving nicely.
Some improvements on his circuit.

PURIFY THE PULPIT.

We are not disposed to personate
in writing, but the necessity for a
pure ministry is admitted by all
The article in this paper last week
by Elder Rives was well written.
We agree with him that people should
not talk without grounds for what
they say, and when they have reason
to believe minister is not doing his
duty they should inform against him
in the proper way to the proper
authority
1t has been said that We have too many
preachers. five have not too many there
is too little care in the licensing of men
to preach. A man whose moral char
acter is suspicioned, should not be
allowed to preach the gospel. A
preacher should live above suspicion
and evil speaking of, and if he can't
live above it, he should take off the
robe and apply his talent to some 9th
er calling.
The pulpit must be purified or the
preaching of the gospel cannot have
the desired effect. We have known
preachers called to trial for oiIenses
and because of technicalites, evidence
against them was not sustained and
like others they were given the benefit
of all doubts and exonorated. 1t is
Charlotte messenger. [volume] (Charlotte, Mecklenburg Co., N.C.) 1882-18??, 1888-03-03

true, charges are sometimes preferred
against the innocent.
But is the pulpit guarded with that
care and sacredness that it should have?
Do not the church and the Bishop
sometimes wink at wrongs of men be-
cause of their talents and learning :?
Such should never be done. None
but good men should carry the gospel
to sinners, for when sinners find out
that their preacher is an evil doer,
they disrespect him, the church and
the gospel. A man should reform
before beginning to preach the gospel.
If he is bad man here, he is a bad
man elsewhere. "Let your light SO
shine before men that they may see
your good works. &c. This applies
specially to the leaders. If their
lights do not shine and their works
are not good, how can the Father be
glorifed?
The world expects from the church
pure gospel and clean ministry.
If We have not faith in Gods angels,
the objects of the preaching cannot be
accomplished. Yea, the life of a
minister is more effectual than his
words from the pulpit. We believe
that religion without morals is a curse
to man and an abomination in
the sight of God An immoral
preacher is the worst hypocrite on the
face of the earth, and every man that
knowingly aids in keeping such men in
the pulpit, to that extent lends their
aid to the help of the cause of satan.
Let US have pure ministry: and
then, and not until then, may we
expect to have pure church. ''Like
priest like people, The ministry
should demand a purity of its own
members for self protection, and the
church and the people should insist
on perfect man in every instance, to
stand between them and God. eye

If you want a frst-class journal, one
that will keep you posted, then pay
up your subscriptions, and ask others
to take the paper. Many persons MUIR
muir when their paper is stopped, and
say hard things about the editor be-
cause he does not continue it, when
they owe a whole years subscription,
and there are hundreds of such delin-
quents on his books. You would not
like to work for man twelve months
without pay, and without his showing
you any disposition to pay. Well,
there is your editor, who has sent you
a paper once every week for twelve
months, and you haven't paid him a
dime And now ''cuss IN" because
you say he is dunning you for what
you honestly owe him. Besides send
ing you his paper he has chronicled
the death of your friends, spoken of
the marriages, denounced the vices
and maintained the virtues of the
people; given you the political cur
rent, all the Church news, and occa-
sionally given you puff; helped you
in your business, and still you will
not settle up with him, and let him
give you respectable, readable paper.
Now, reader, you say we are throwing
broad hints at somebody. Yes, we
are, and they are meant for you. You
arc the very one we meant to hit. Go
home Immediately, get $50 for the
editor of this paper, and send it to
him. G.. i. B.

Mr.. Editor-An old saying has it :
"An open confession is good for the
soul. " From recent developments il
may be good for the body, too, in
special cases. A very good O. brother
the other day openly confessed his
certain knowledge, (but declared he
had nothing to do with it, of fraud
perpctrated on the ministry So he
thought it best to excuse himself, and
therefore divulged his knowledge and
part of the SANDER? He begs. for the
Lords sake, leave him out if there is
to be any hereafter. He confesses his
knowledge of the men that was sent
out to formulate the lie, (and names
the party) but most bumbly asked
that he be LET. out the bill. He says
there was no harm meant. that they
only wanted to prevent one Of the
ministers from getting charge Of the
church. This good official endcavors
to make good his escape BY turning

COUNTY POLITICS.

Ine eVenIul year 90 is upOH US,
and politicians, from the ward heeler
to the great managing bosses, are
turning their attention to the great in
terests of the people. They cannot
bear the idea of people being misled,
misinformed, or wanting for anything
that politician can do for them. The
politicians of Mecklenburg county are
not whit wanting in magnanimity
Every one feels himself the peoples
preserver, and eagerly seeks the honor
of serving his country.
The Republican county executive
committee has met and ordered a
county convention to select delegates
to the State and District conventions.
If we can only protect ourselves
against one evil now in the start, we
may hope to succeed in the election
next November. Let us guard against
dissention in our own ranks. If we
do this one thing we may count the
battle half won in the start. Let
every man consider himself servant
and follower. and not a boss and
leader. We must have different ideas
on many questions, and let us discuss
our differences like men, respecting
the views of others, and yielding
when the facts or strength are against
us. We will have many candidates
for honors. Some want to go to the
State convention, some to the District
convention, and some to the National
convention. Let us divide honors, if
necessary. Our county can honor
twenty-four men, by electing six dele
gates and six alternates to the State,
and six delegates and six alternates to
the District convention. We think
that would be a good thing to do.
The MESSENGER will be found to be
solid Republican as it has always been.
1t will be for peace and harmony in
the party and will make any proper
and necessary concession to have har-
mony.
Mecklenburg county properly man
aged this year will go republican even
though the post offices and revenuers
are on the other side. Give US hon
est, discrete and active managers with
a straight Republican ticket and we
will elect it.
Let US not begin to fight each other,
but save all our powder to turn against
the enemy. The people are tired of
this miserable county government, dis
gusted with robbing court house rings,
heavy taxes and the like. They are
convinced that Democrats cannot run
this government successfully. Let Re-
publicans 60 in the field united, stand
so and they will come out victorious.

NEW ENGLAND LETTER.
COlOred Newspapers Should be
PatrOniZed.


There are a great number of our
people who underrate the value of
newspaper Many who consider it
matter of minor Importance whether
they subscribe for them or not, and
yet those very people will put them
selves to much trouble occasionally to
find out about certain article that
occurred in the paper. The value of
newspaper journal is not easily csti-
mated. Only those can appreciate its
intrinsic worth who subscribe and
read its contents from time to time,
who, through its columns keep posted
on the events and momentous ques.
tons of the day Find a community
where the newspapers are not read and
you will find people behind the age
in most every respect. This is we'll
illustrated in a single instance The
writer, about three weeks after the
sainted Henry Ward Beecher died,
was only about six miles from a GER
tain town holding quarterly meeting,
and in the course of his remarks to
certain member of the church said,
(supposing that there was no one
within six miles of progressive town
in North Carolina but what had heard
of Beecher) "the great preacher,
Henry Ward Beecher, is dead" The
lady answered, Say he 81" "He Is
certainly" said the writer. The lady
says, 81 never heard of him before. "
Well, how are we to know? How
can We keep up with the times? We
must patronize the newspapers. What
is one dollar, or two dollars, to give
for teacher to instruct you for twelve
months The editor in his sanctum
studies to benefit thousands. A SEN
tence or proposition from his pen may
be the means of leading communities
out of serious difficulties. Churches,
societies, and firms find themselves at
times involved into difficulties, appa-
rently manageable, and having
shrewd and skillful editor he may
suggest some plan whereby the trou-
Bile may be swept away as chat before
the wind.
Then, it is through the press we
can better defend our manhood. The
sentiment that IS formed and crystal
liked through the agency Of the press
is perhaps more potential than that
eminating from any other source. If
the colored man would exhibit to the
world what he is, his power to do,
and the extent Of his mind to conceive
and contrive for his own good. and
for the benefit Of the world at large.
he must do it through the press. But,
those newspapers must live, and it
depends greatly upon the support we
give them what their character will be.

States evidence against others. Well,
| don't know but what the hereafter
will be here yet. We may take the
position of an Irishman, who for a
long time had been at variance with
one of his fellows, while was very i'll
was induced to make up with his adj
versary. So after peace had been
made, and Pat was taking his leave,
the sick man cried out, "Hold on Pat !
Now if | die this difference is made
up, but if I live it remains the same"
(unadjusted). Our profcssed disciple
ships of Christ may not allow us to
fully endorse the Irishman's course.
However, we may fully and fttingly
rely on the words of the Lord 'It
is impossible but that ofenses will
come but woe unto him through
whom they come The Savior
especially warns against partaking of
other mems sins. All who share in
these blood-thirsty assaults on Chris
tian character, will also share the fate
of those Through whom offenses
cometh." This man says sit was
only because we did not care to hold
our meeting at the time set apart for
it, and the brethren thought to 60 out
and start little news, to be used as
pretext ''for closing the door" He
says it was made much worse after it
left them. This reminds US of
piece of poetry We saw once, which
went as follows
Said Gossip One to Gossip Two,
While shopping in the own.
One Mrs. Pry to me remarked,
Smith bought his goods from Brown.
Said Gossip Two to Gossip Three,
Who cast her eyelids down,
I've heard to-day, my friend,
Smith got his goods from Brown.
Says Gossip Three to Gossip Four,
With something of frown,
I've strange news, what do you think ?
Smith TOOK his goods from Brown.
Says Gossip Four to Gossip Five,
Who blazed it round the town,
I've heard to-day such shocking news
Smith STOLE his goods from Brown.
Well. we are thankful for pro-
tecting Providence God has made
way of escape for those in peril who
put their trust in Him. Though
sometimes to Heayen.)
John Knox, the Scotch Reformer,
had many enemies who sought to COM
pass his destruction. He was in the
.habit of sitting with his back to a
window so on a certain day he did
not sit there, nor allow any of his
family to occupy that place that very
evening bullet was sent and struck
that chair through the window The
intention was to kill him.
We feel that those who would for
no other excuse than has been assigned
for circulating the fraud above re-
ferred to would kill their victim if
they were permitted.
The Bible saying, "They who would
live Cody in Christ Jesus must suffer
persecution" has been verified within
our own experience. Abraham Lin
coin felt it his duty to preserve this
Nation, and for attempting to do his
duty he died. James A. Garfield
thought it his duty to defend his par
ty, and because he attempted to do
his duty he had to die. Therefore, a
conscientious adherence to known duty
seems to be perilous position to take
nowadays.
We shall hold on our way, God
being our helper. R. S. RIyEs.
