gin to see that this discussion as to
which is most important reason or
revelation in ascertaiEing religious
truth in based upon two distinct
definitions Of the extent and power
of reason.
Reason must be used, but it is a
kind OF reason broader than material
facts and iIIimitable in its conception
as mind itself. A reason not altogether
our own, for we are told unless the
Holy Spirit moves US, or teaches usthe
divinity OF hrlst, we can pot come 10
God through Him, but when the Holy
Spirit teaches our reason these facts,
aud we do come to God through him,
we are assured of lie eternal. After
all the misty mazes Of me aphyeical
and theological largOn on this subject
have been exhausted it will be- found
the only difference lies In the defini-
ton of the word reason and its appli-
cability to the subject from Two differ.
ent standpoints 1t we view super.
natural things from material stand
point through our physical senses our
vision is too limited to comprehend
tho infinite. If we consult the higher
attributes OF reason and measure the
argument by that standard, then we
will find that reason confirms and
sanctions revelation.

UNDER WHiCH KING, REASON OR
REVEI ATIDN?

The question that looms up most
prominently in the theological world
Is whether reason or revelation ia the
primal source of mans knowledge OF
God. The answer to that question
depends very much upon what def
milton or signiiicancy is given TO the
word reason. II it Is standard
to be erected upon material facts,
'and everything not in accordance
with these facts is to be rejected, Thea
it has limited signilicancy unworthy
OF the subject to which IL is attempted
10 be applied. But on the other hand
If reason is to be considered as an Oc
cult power of the educated human
mind by which truth il attained or u
conception Of the Infinite mind is to
be apprehended, then there Will be a
great difference in the solution of the
question
II we are to form the premises of
proposition solely upon facts revealed
to the senses, and contiue ourselves to
q sylogis ism with conclusions solely
from that kind Of facts, then we say EN-
phatically that definition is circum-
scribed and limited conception of rea.
son inadequate TO the comprehension
of infnite truth and of the enlight-
eminent of the human mind with spir-
itual existence. In that sense reason is
bound by the capacity of the physical
senses and IL incapable of weighing
higher evidenc
But there is another way OF meas.
uring the capacity of reason. If we
contemplate the existence OF material
things, consider our own capacity,
look out upon creation, our existence,
and then think of our inability to-
make even so small u thing as a seed
that will grow and that some higher
power than ourselves must have cre-
ated us and all things, then our rea.
son, through this process, would re-
veal to us the G)d of nature. That
much being ascertained, we would
conclude that this God of nature, SUI
perior to all men and all things Of
which we have ever known anything,
would naturally reveal himself
to US in some way. When we found |

THE BILL TO VALIDATE TITLES

| THE BILL tn VALIDATE TITLES
Senator Goss will today present a
bill to validate all titles to lands sold
by railroad corporations to private and
individual purchasers of the sumo.
This is one of the most important bills
that will come beture the legislature,
and it ought to be passed with a
unanimity that will convince the world
that Texas has the most sacred regard
tor titles derived from the state. That
patent to land from the STATE OF
Texas has all the binding assurance
that what ia known to Old
lawyers as the English covenants
could give to u deed. This
bill provides for the redemption Of u
pledge given from every stump in the
state by the present administration
and will meet the largest and most
unanimous approval OF the people of
any other measure that will be
adopted by the present legislature.
The bill might rave been more
liberal and perhaps il Will be amend.
ed in that respect, 8nd that is to vail
date titles to all lands purcha, ed in
good faith by corporations Tho bill
as it reads limits the valuation OF
titles to private and Individual pur-
chasers designedly striking ont as it
were, all benefits under rhe
law to corporations. We believe
Governor Hogg in his campaign
speeches limited his pledge to
make titles thus acquired good
only to private and individual
purchasers, but we can see no reason
why corporations, if there be any
holding these lands, should not be
given the same assurance. If such
corporations purchased and paid for
the certificates or patents and locate
these lands in good faith there can be
no reason in II court OF equity why
they should not hold their titles I'M
clouded just as individual purchasers.
While corporation is not a single
individual. 1t is formed of an aggre-
gate of individuals, and each one is
just as much interested as II each one
held separately and not in joint ten.
ancy.
Corporations are sometimes grasp
ing and resort to doubtful means in
their transactions, but 40
are individuals sometimes grasp
ing and resort to doubtful
means. The TACT that individuals
from n corporate body does not neces-
salily make them more objects OF sus.
picion than each of them was in q
private capacity and certainly the
fact that they incorporate themselves
ought not to deprive each of them of
the same protection the law would af-
ford them as individuals.
We do not know whether such an
amendmentisc contemplated or not nor
do We know what its fate would be
or what reasons exit for not adopting
IL. All we do know is that as general
proposition corporations are entitled |
to the same protection under the law
as private individuals. If YOU then
want to say the corporations shall |
ALLEVIATE their lands after certain |
length time why do SO; but do not
fail TO sust9in the faith of the 8 ate in |
the original transaction; do not fail to
validate the titles of these lands to
the corporations and then you can
make laws for their futI re govern
ment. TO do other wise would be to
Indulge in class legislation which is
both unjust and unlawful.

In travelling through the country,

takes nut few daye each year to keep
the brush cut away from tho fences,
to nail up board here and there thai

fence up straight with no weak places
to tempt stock to owners or neigh hOrs'

Agrlculturalist ever ran q farm on
the principle named, or he would have
formed q different estimate of the time
required. 1t will take great deal of
time to do all these but it will be time

with such spread of branches that it
shades the house. The leaves are a
dark green, the fruit of medium size,
of a rich crimson color, smooth skiu,
few seeds, of delicious flavor and
breaks open like an apple, though
without any core. 1t grew from the
seed planted last April, and promises
to continue its growth until old age
