A Preachers Experience Q.

Union Thanksgiving services are TO
be conducted in the Methodist church
by Rev. T. NJ. Birmingham, of Arkan-
sas This gentleman has just had a
peculiar experience with his confer
ence, which adjourned last Saturday
at Eureka Springs, and is perhaps Of
/ sufficient interest to relate. During
the late political canvas Mr.. Birming-
ham was a candidate for state super
inlendent Of schools upon the Repub-
liean and Labor tickets and made a
series of speeches which were not at
all pleasing to a large number of the
mem bership Of his denomination the
South Methodist.
Upon the case first being called up.
Rev. J. A. Anderson, OF Fort Smith, a
brother of Mr. John Anderson of this
city, introduced the following resolu-
tions:
Whereas, during the past Confer
ence year Rev. T. NJ. C. Birmingham
has allied himself in the most often
sive manner with partisan politics out
of which association have grown many
things unbecoming a christian min
lister.
Therefore, Be it resolved that he is
hereby located.
Resolved (2) That in this action the
Arkansas Annual Conference of the NJ.
E. Church South assumes no political
attitude whatever. As an ecclesiasti-
cal body we have no politics. Let
him who will assert to the contrary.
Our mission is spiritual. and any cleri-
cal member of this body who becomes
an offensive partisan Of any political
faith forfeits his right to a place
among US. On the other hand, we do
not object 10 the political faith Of any
man among us who pursued his min
isterial calling in the spirit of our Lord,
as witness the fact that We have in
the membership of this conference
men who belong to all the leading ma
tional political parties"
The matter was then laid over until
next morning when these resolutions
we're Withdrawn and a motion made to
"locate" the brother for being unac-
ceptable to many Of the people. Mr..
Birmingham was then given the floor
in his own behalf. Il admit" said he, :
shat 1 am unacceptable to the promi-
nent men Of the Democratic party, /
but it is for righteousness sake. In I
the summer, when speaking, l have
not spared the theft of votes, and also
scored the larceny Of ballot-boxes, /
but ! did this not because the doctrine
Of free ballot and a fair count was
in the Labor and Republican plat /
forms, but because the command I
ments OF God said, Thou shalt not
steal. And I understood that statute

70 protect mans vote as well as his
horse" Continuing, Mr.. Birmingham
stated that he has not feased to show
The evil OF political members who had
| stained hands, or Of the failure Of the
courts TO punish this class OF crimi-
mats even when they were we'll known,
like the slayers Of Neely and Wilson
and Parkam, because these things were
plainly condemned by God. lie said
that If Wesley had been Presiding
Elder at Morrillton or Plummerville,
no man could remain in the Church
who was at all connected with ballot
box stulIing, or who received the bene-
fits OF an office through an election
fraud The work of the preacher was
not only to guide men to the exper-
ience of the new birth, but to lead the
nation onward and upward in the
march OF civilization, and there was
no lesson more necessary for the
Church TO teach the people than that
the doctrines of God should govern
them in politics as well as theology.
The question being put to the con-
ference, the motion was adopted with
out dissenting voice. As we under
stand it the term "locate" as used in
this sense means that the party is rel
egated to the position of lay mem
bel5 is no longer an itinerant or aregu-
laIly commissioned preacher, though
the person may ofiiciate in any stated

That visit To Ohristy.

The Mudrow Register has the fol-
lowing account of the raid recently
made by the marshals upon the home
of Ned Christie:
On Tuesday last U. S. Deputy Mar
shal Bass Reeves, OF Fort Smith, with
his posse, made an attack on the
house of Ned Christie in the Flint
diltrict, who is, perhaps, the most no
torious outlaw and desperate in the
Indian Territory, and the outlaws s
stronghold was burned to the ground.
Supposing that the owner had been
killed or wounded and was consumed
in the building, the news went
out that he had met violent death.
But Christie has turned up alive, and
may cause trouble yet; is said to be on
the wa path fiercer than ever and
VOWS vengeance on the marshal and his
posse.
Ned Christie is perhaps the most
desperate character in the territory
and there is large reward offered on
his head. He has killed a number of
men, among whom might be mention
ed the Squirrel brothers. also consid-
cred tough men," He is said to be a
dead shot, has eluded the officers Of
the law for about four years aud says
he will not be taken alive.
