Extracts from the Christian Neighbor
The Lords Prayer.


A correspondent asks the New York
Advocate this question:
"Why do not Methodists use "forgive
US our debts" instead of forgive us
our trespasses," when debts is in the
Bible and trespasses is not ?'
The substance of the answer is this
1.-THE Methodists derived their usage
from the Church of England, and that
form was in use before the King James
Version was translated. Furthermore,
there are two forms in the New Testa-
ment-one in Matthew, and one in
Luke. Matthew says "debts," and
Luke says "sins," which shows that
no particular i'm portance is to be at
tached to the word, provided the mean
ing is retained. By referring to Mat
thew you will find that Immediately
after the Lords Prayer Christ says
18th chapter, 18th verse;: For if We
forgive men their trespasses, your
heavenly Father will also forgive you ~
showing that in the opinion of the
very men who translated the word
"debts" in the prayer, the meaning is
"trespasses."
The first ten words gives the an
swer. The Methodists have been SO
taught-taught to follow the Church Of
England in preference to the Bible.
After giving the answer, the Aovo.
cate argues that 'trespasses" is prefer
able to "debts." The explanatory ar.
gumentation falls short, we think, Of
justifying the position taken.
If "no particular Importance is to be
attached to the word, provided the
meaning is retained" why reject both
"debts" and "sins" as found in the
one and the other of the two forms in
the Bible, and contend for the form
used by the Church of England
If the people understand the mean.
ing of "trespasses" better than they
understand the meaning of "debts,''
(which is doubted,) why not use the
word "sins" which, to adults and chill.
dren, Is more explicit and clear than
either of the other two words.
The point is not the Meaning of q
word in the Lords prayer and one
following the prayer, but the form Of
words composing that prayer. The
form in Matthew is the one supposed
to be generally followed, but the
following often varies from the Bible
form in other words besides substitut.
ing "trespassees'' for "debts."
When the Bible form is once broken
the way is opened for any church OF
worshipper to change the form as
judgment or fancy may suggest and
thus the form would be practically
lost in the many mutilations. The
only way to have uniformity in using
the Lords prayer is for all people to
use the form exactly as it is found in
the gospel by Matthew. "Hold fast the
form of sound words"

Dedication OF the Presbyterian
Church.

No people ever deserved fuller notice OF
the dedication of their church than the Pres
byterians, and no church dedication was ev.
er as fully reported as is the dedication Oh
their church.
The account of the Interesting occasion con-
tains great variety Of matter, and few read
ers will fail to find something in 1t, which
will be Interesting.
The paper, as whole, is historical docu'
ment and we'll worthy Of preservation.
II future generations take up the history OF
the church as furnished to-day, and continue
the record, it will be the best kept church re
cord in existence.
We claim no special credit for anything we
have done in the matter. We have only dis
charged our duty, as we conceived It, but we
desire to return hearty thanks to all VINO IN
any way rendered aid in the work.
Without assistance and cooperation we
could not have accomplished what we have
done.

The following items clipped from
the Tallianson County Sun, George
town, Texas, will'be read with interest
by many South Carolinians:
At the fourth Quarterly Conference
of Georgetown station: Mr.. J. Rich
ardson Mood was licensed to preach:
Mr.. Mood is second son of the late
Rev. F. A. Mood, D. D., and is men,
ber of the senior class Southwestern
University, and candidate for the
degree of Master of Arts at the next
commencement. His diligence and
success as student give promise of
life of honor and usefulness in the
ministry.
The Church in GEORGETOWN is max
ing good use of Prof. s. G.. Sanders:
He was secretary of the Quarterly
Conference, was reelected S. s. Super

posed amendment extends the legis-
lative term from sixty to ninety days,
with the proviso that no bill shall be
introduced, except on the recommen-
dation of the governor, during the
last twentydays of the session. Not
withstanding the fact that the limit
of the legislative session Is extended
thirty days, the proviso that no bill
shall be introduced during the last
twenty days OF the session seems to US
to make the amendment a desirable
one to adopt. 1t Is well known fact
to all who have given the matter
any attention, that too much OF our
legislation has been done In a hurry.
Bills are rushed through during the
last days Of the season Of the legisla-
turs without due consideration, and
1t is frequently the case that men
vote for bills without knowing what
they contain. Ifthis amendment Is
adopted legislators will have twenty
days to consider the measures they
are called to act upon. AS to the en-
tension of the time which the legisla-
ture can hold a session, ninety days
does not seem unreasonable to US. Oh
course the members have it in their
poper to adjourn and make the
session as short as they see fit.

Gen. Sherman's Warning.

Gen. Sherman cannot justly be &C

nor OF desiring to stir up sectional
feeling and awakening the animosi-
ties.of the late terrible war. But he
sees which way things are drifting
and gives timely warning to the
"solid SOUTH" And well will it be ii
the "solid south" needs that warning.
In the Catcher North American is an
article by the General on the colored
people. In 1t he says:
~ say to the South: Let the negro
vote and count his vote honestly. 1t
will not disturb, but on the contrary
will hasten your prosperity and STA
bility as people. There is no use of
talking to me about "bloody shirts. +"
I have seen enough of them \
But the northern people will not long
permit the negro vote to be sup
pressed and yet be counted in the po-
itical game against them. The south
had better meet the question honestly.
Ask the abrogation Of Article XIV. OF
the amendments to the Constitution
of the Uuited States or allow the
negro TO vote and count his vote. 9th

Bob Burdette's Advice to his
Son,

My son, you will cast your first
vote for President next November.
I don't want to influence your vote.
I don't want you to vote for man
just because other men do. I want
you to sit down and think about it be-
fore you vote. want you to be able
to give reason for your vote. I want
you to go to the polls in good COM
pany. AS young man Of progressive
ideas, I want You to be abreast of the
worlo and head and shoulders with
the times when you walk too the polls.
I want you, on entering politics, to
align with the party which has the
purest, most progressive record. I
don't care cent, my boy, whether
you are a Republican or a Democrat.
There are honest men, patriotic citl-
zens, good Christians in both parties.
Only I don't want to see you walk up
to the polls and cast your vote with
the party
That upheld human slavery as o
divine institution;
That bought and sold men, women
and babies like 30 many mules;
That fired on Ft. Sumter and the
American flag;
That for nearly five years fought to
destroy the Union;
That opposed the issue OF green
backs when the government was fair
Iy perishing for the want of them;
That organized mobs and riots to
oppose the draft;
That swept American commerce
from the seas with armed prlvateers;
That polls its heaviest majoritles
in the most vicious and ignorant pre-
cincts;
That is strongest in the states
where the percentage of illiteracy is
the greatest;
That has opposed every liberal and
progressive measure of legislation
during the last quarter of eentury
That was the defender of slavery;
That is the defender of Mormonism !;
That slandered Garfield; and
That assassinated Lincoln.
Now as have said before, my son,
/ don't care whether you are a Re-
publican or Democrat. just keep
away from the crowd whose record
/ have very briefly outlined. Find
the party to whom the record belongs,
and then forever keep away from 1t.
You need not be particular with
which party you unite II you don't
join that one. Always vote about
right. am q Republican,, but / will
shake hands with, fraternal love with
any Democrat who votes against that
record. That kind of a Democrat is
always good enough Republican for
me.
P. s. have never found that kind
of Democrat.

Stop that Mud-Slinging.

We wiah to remind those papers
and stump speakers who are singing
mud at the Republican legislative
candidate, A. 8. Crossfieid, that they
are making sad mistake by inaugu-
rating that kind of warfare. If they
think to improve the chances Of Mr..
Halls election by making personal
attacks on Mr.. Crossfield, they are
doomed to disappointment, for we
know to dead certainty that since
the commencement Of this personal
abuse MIR. Crossfield has been gain
ing friends every day in the week,
especially in those localities where
there was the greatest opposition to
him. There never was man nomi-
mated for office since the days Of
Washington to the present time, but
what there was some one mean
enough to make personal attacks and
sling mud at the candidate, and we
presume it will always be SO. Sill
we despise mud-slinger, believing
that we have no more right to make
a personal attack on a man nomina-
ted for Office than we have to attack
a private citizen. It is a mans pub
lie record and principles that we have
to deal with, and those who read the
TRIBUNE will bear us out in saying
that we do not hesitate to express our
opinion in that regard in no uncertain
manner.
The TRIBUNE stated without hest
tation that Mr.. Hall was high
minded, conscientious, and we do not
believe that he countenances any OF
this personal abuse of Mr.. Crossfield
that some of his fool friends have
seen fit to indulge in.
We know, and So does every m an
who is acquainted with him know,
that Mr.. Cossfield is an able man and
would represent this district in the
legislature in a manner that his con.
stitutents would be we'll satisfied
with. He is genial, generous. hear.
ted gentleman, and is sure to make
friends wherever he goes. This we
know to be strictly true, as we hea,
men every day speak in the highest
terms of him. The fact is, he posses
ses all the elements necessary tt
make him popular with all classes
and the man who says that Amass
S. Crossfield can be easily beaten
don't know what he is talking about
