RELIGIOUS NEWS.

The following is taken from the
Memphis Appeal-Avalanche of Tues
day: GA very attentive audience
gathered in the Third Presbyterian
Church at the morning hour Sunday
to listen to DIR. J. d Gold, of Column
bia, Tenn. The theme chosen was
The Risen Christ based on the text
found in Mathew xiii, 6; He il
risen.' In this fOrcible answer to the
manifold objections that have in all
ages attracted to this fundamental
doctrine of the Christian religion,
the speaker showed himself a close
student and wide reader of apollo
getical literature. The question was
discussed f ON the standpoint of its
historical, critical AID ethical inn
port. And the listener has to con-
graduate himself on the opportunity
had of having his faith built up and
by the uuanswerable
logic of the gifted speaker. DIR. Colds
closing argument for the ever exist
ing power and influence Of the risen
Christ, as is exempted in moral
of countries and peoples of
to day, together with the con. cious
indwelling OF the power, that is
recognized in the heart of man,
were edifving and soul-impressing

THE KINGS DAUGHTERS.
.eBy Their Works, Ye Shall Know Them -

The performance of good deeds, to-
gether with a good and humble heart,
and a humility of life as well, should
constitute religion "pure and unde-
fled If to visit the widow and
orphan, to cheer the unfortunate, to
relieve the distressed whenever and
wherever found, be not a definition
of holiness, then it will be vain to
attempt to tell what is a higher aud
better religion.
Not even the singing Of gogrel
songs, the preaching Of edlfying
sermons lin the writer's humble
opiniOn), receive the sanction of GCd
more than helping the poor, or cneer-
ing the afflicted. What noble and
heller act can man perform than that
OF relieving human suffering? y
thousand sermons, a thousand songs,
will not c,othe the naked or feed the
hungry or relieve those who wriUhe
in pain.
the living, actual every day world
needs practical rellgion-a religion
that is carried from the churches into
mems lives. Vain is that christianity
that commences and ends at the
church door. This suffering, sin
stricken world needs religion that
lives on Saturday or Monday as well
as on Sunday religion OF acts as
well as OF words--A religion that eX-
emplities the heart by the deeds done
in the body.
Surely The Kings Daughters
have we'll illustrated, by their Dumer-
Gus acts of love Chat supreme love
that means charity, the beauties Of
boliuess.
The blind, the aged and infirn who
have been cheered aud s0laced by
their miniatering visits-the sick who
have had their pain and sufferings
miligated by their frequent presence
aud kind solicituQe-the poor and
needy whose wants have been so
often relieved, will sustain me in all
L say.
The good people of Columbia should
appreciate this Order of Kings Daugh-
tiers; these christian women banded
together, irrespective of sectarlan IN
fluence, women whose lives and
hearts are as pure as the snowflake
ere it touches the earth; and should
esteem them highly in love for their
works sake, and cooperate with
them, and be ZealOuSly concerned to
promote their usefulness and power
of doing good.
'"The Kings Daughters" cannot aid
all who need their assistance, because
their charity is restricted by lack OF
funds. They have resorted to every
legitimate method to increase their
means, but 50 numerous have been
the calls upon them, that again they
find their work checked and impeded
by a depleted treasury. They had
hopcd to have public dinner on the
first Monday in April, but in courtesy
yielded to others. They then made
arrangements to presentithe "Dees.rik
Skule" on the 20th of May; bus find
ing this date cOn1iicted with the re
viYal being held in the First Presby-
terrain Church, they again yielded TO
christian courtesy and postponed
their entertainment to the 30th.
The solicitation of "rhe Kings
Daughters to the public to patronize
their entertainment, is not an appeal
to its direct beneficence. The tickets
are only fifty cents, and the.public is
assured that by attending they will
be amused and interested, as well as
aid 4 noble cause,

thetIcally says, in reply TO a severe
denunciatiOn Of dogs, as follows:

No one, my dear sir; you have a
right to keep q dog, an elephant, or 8

trouble with you dog fellows is that
you don't keep" your dogs. Heaven
never smiles on a more beautiful
scene, nor has earth viewed a more
pathetic and touching picture than a
half dozen innocent ours safely and
contentediy wasting the substance of
their masters labor in riOtously living
at home. But when they start off OH

He Starts the Races.

For many years past the services
of a professional starting judge have
been considered a luxury by numer-
Gus trotting and pacing associations,
but there have been so many blum
ders by incompetent men in the
starters box of late, that no real live
association would think of having
any but a first-class man to give the
word go.EIt costs big money, but then
the expense is insignificant when the
immense benefit derived from having
such an officer is considered. Prompt
ness is recognized as one drawback to
honest racing; but a professional
starter allows no grass to grow on
the track where he is officiating. The
Columbia Driving Park, with its
characteristic enterprise, has secured
the valuable. services of Col J. l..
Mccarthy, Of Chicago, Ill, who will
give the word at the meeting July
I2-15. Col. Mccarthy was the start
ing Judge at Independence, Iowa, last
year and scored brilliant success.

Death of RarHS.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Rarus, long
known as king of the trOtting turf,
died on Mr.. Robert BOnner's larry
town farm last Tuesday. He was %
years old, fOaled in 1867, and died of
old age, Rarus was bred by the late
Conkli f GreenpOrt, L. l., and was
by COnkhl's Abdallah, a horse of un-
known breeding, and out of Nancy
awful by Telegraph. Rarus trOtted
his first race in 1874 at HOrnersville,
n. Y, and was constant performer
for several years. At Buffalo, in 1878,
he lowered the trotting record to
2:13II, and remained king of the turf
until October, 1879, when st. Julien
further reduced the mark to 2:12la.
Rarus was purchased by Mr.. Bon
ner in 1879 for $4,000, and has not
since appeared on the turf. Mr.. Bon
ner used him on the road. When
Rarus was twenty years old the late
John Murphy claimed to have given
him a trial mile in 2:ll1a, but this is
not a record,
