.Whom the gods love die young" 10 an
old and trite platonlc saying, that has moth
,ny whatever In it to soothe the sorrows OF
of parental suffering when precious child
il snatched away from . mothers fond emf
brace by the hand of death. Indeed, there
il hut litsle or nothing that can be SAID
under such circumstances. outside OF re-
hgious consolation, to give anything IKE
permanent reIisf Despite all the arguments
that caa possibly be offered, the bright
ewes now closed In death, will occasionally
peer out at tie fond father and mother. ane
the prattling sounds that came from be
tween her ruby lips will be often heard II
the silent watches OF the night, greennt
their dreamy attention and whispering Z
/ them of what might have been.
Mr. and Mrs. Nelson have the SINGER
sympathy of the community in their sa'
bereavement, and we sincerely join in tina
sympathy, suggesting that there is som
consolation in the fact that, %
ERE sin could blight or sorrow fade,
i Death came with frieLdly care;
The opening bud to Heaven conveyed,
And badeit blossom there.

"a religious tidal wave seems TO
have struck tho colored people OF East
Carroll recently. Within the past two
weeks fully two hundred negroes have
been baptized; old men and young
men, woman largely In the majority
with sprinkliug Of children.
These ceremonies have necessarily
been accompanied with much wiid
excitement and what is termed re-
lligious fervor. Some of the women IN
their shoutings, yerging close on 10
the insane in their rawlings.
We have profound respect for all
religious observances, regardless OF
color or previous condition, and can
make due allowance for the ungoVcrn-
able feelings, suddenly awakened, OF
persons whose minds have not been
educated up 10 calm thoughtfnlness
!. but we must say to ourcolored friends
That shouting is not religion by any
means. The Master is not hard Of
bearing, neither is He SO blear-eyeo
that He cannot see through the MOCK
religious pretentions Of many OF TIT
shouters.
1t is not properly within the pro
vince of country newspaper to dab
Q bile in sacred matters, but we hav
