DENIAL NOT ENOUGH.
Discourse of Rev. Charles conklIn a
the Church of the Messiah.

Discourse of Rev. Charles cOnklin at
the Church OF the Messiah.
Rev. Charles Conklin preached an excel
lent sermon yesterday morning in the
Church of the Messiah before a large and
appreciative audience. His subject was,
"Dsnisl not Enough" The sermon was
based on Matthew Kill, So: "He did not
many mighty works there because of their
unbslief." 1 trust, said the speaker in his
opening remarks, in a certain sense you
are all uubelievers. Some phases of un-
belief indicate piety of a high order.
Those who believe in good government dis
believe in anarchy. If you believe in
Shakespeare as the author of the immortal
works which bear his name you disbelieve
in the Baconian thsory. If you believe in
| religion you must disbelieve in irreligion.
Human society owes much to that kind OF
| unbelief.
Pure religion Is pure truth. This fact is
not always spprehendsd. Creedmakers
| who have failed to grasp all the truth of
religion are not knaves, and critics are not
of necessity asssssins. But men have been
blindsd by their surroundings and have
| ylSlueu I'd toupLdIlOu Auu nave uluucu tuc
whole truth.
| In politics the returns are sometimes
"doctored." and in ecclesiastical mstters
| there seems to be thoss who more in
| terested in the perpetustion and extension
| of their power than in pure truth.
There were theories and doctrines once
held which viewed in the clearer light of
to-day are untensbls. They were adapted
to the childhood of the world. To-day
our vision is clearer. Think of the giant
strides we have made in every branch of
science. Must theology remain unpro
gressivea Shall not religion grow bigger,
6rmer and more operative as the years
roll on2 There Is an unbelief, however,
which spends Itself in negstions. 1t is de-
structive and not reconstructive, and is
therefore all the more dangerous.
We can't afford to stop at denisls.
We turn to the affirmation in religion.
] To faith, not doubt. to God the Father,
to Jesus the Christ, to the verites of the
Gospel, to the glorious hope that is left us
of the final destiny and happiness of
mankind.
And this faith is especially potent in
the moral and spiritual life of man.
1t brings joy and glsdness to the heart
and shapes for the highest good our aims
and purposes. Let us cling fast 10 the
faith which will purify our hearts and in.
cite us to noble lives and heroic deeds.

Pure air and good digestion.
Nothing does more for health. The
first is easily got; the second can
be had always. Use of the genuine
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT
gives it. 1t will make food soluble
and easy to digest. The diastase
contained in the malt makes it so.
One dozen bottles of the genuine
JOHANN HoFF's MALT EXTRACT
gives as much strength and nour-
ishment as cask of ale or porter
without being Intoxicating. 1t is
therefore highly recommended for
mothers while nursing, for weak
children and in general debility.
See that "JoHANN HoFF's." signature is
on neck label of bottle.

NEW York, Nov. 25.-Selling was abundant to

feature of the market was, however, its stsadi-
ness under this continuous selling, and In the

shows still more remarkable results and
far surpasses in amount any ever before

The Stock Law.

Inasnluch there has been some discus
| sion in regard to the true intent of the stock
| law, to settle the controversy The Gazette
called on the Mayor and asked his opinion
on the following questions:
I. If a halter is put on, and person takes
out an animal to Craze on the Streets, remain
ing with it, wonld it be violating the town
stock law :?
~. If an animal is picketcd or staked out
on the Streets, and its grazing limited to the
length OF 4 ten feet rope, would it be violating,
the law .?
5. If few animals are driven on the
streets to Craze, and keeper remains with
them to see that they commit no depradations
or cause Inconvenience, would it be violating
the law?
To the first question the Mayor stated it
would not be violating the law, providing
no damage is done.
To the second question the Mayor ans
wcrcd that it would be violating the law
But animal could be staked out on a va
cant lot without coming under the penalty of
the law.
To the third question the Mayor gave it
as his oririon that it would be violating the
law.
Now, then, there need be no further mis-
understanding, to the meaning and intent
of the law, the above being clear and expli-
cit,

The Southwestern Louisiana r Dad
and Immigration Association, which
was organized at Lafayette June 81,
will hold it's second HI Getting at Crow
lew on Saturday of next week. This
association is made up from the rep
resentative men of the several par
lshes represented in the district, all
of whom feel a deep interest in
securing better public road system
for our State-or at least for South
west Louisiana. All have given the
subject more or less thought and we
may expect to hear some intelligent
and instructive speeches thereon,
as we'll as numerous suggestions as
to plans to be persued in securing a
satisfactory remedy for our present
obnoxious road laws. The meeting
will be one ofinterest for our citizens
generally, all of whom are cordially
invited to attend. The failure of
the State authorities to take any
action whatever toward supplying a
remedy for our present ineffective
and unsatisfactory road system
makes the formation Of local. organ
lzatlons for that purpose a necessity.
1t will devolve upon our citizens to
see that the delegates who are in at
tendance are given a cordial welcome
and that the Inequalities of the town
are extended them while here

MOVING UPWARD.

! The visitor to. our sister town O.
Breaux Bridge cannot fail to notice
the spirit of enterprise that pervade:
the community. The very air i:
filled with an earnestness that pr1h
Uses much for the future. A single
instance will suffice to establish
this conclusive fact.
Mr.. Knapp offered to extend his
| narrow guage to the town if the PEG
pie would guarantee to furnish for
his refinery the product of 200 acres
of cane, and should they be able
to guarantee to plant fourteen hun
dred acres. he would put up a re-
finery in or near the town.
A gentleman started out with a
list Monday evening and by Tuesday
(the next day. morning he had Sc
cured signed pledges, by twenty one
small land owners adjoining the
town, for over $50 acres, and this
without leaving the town. Not one
person who was approached but
what felt it his duty towards the up
building of the town, as we'll as to
his personal interest, to promise
and mean to change from cotton to
cane.
The gentlemen who are at the
head of the movement not only feel
confident that they will secure
enough pledges to plant the number
of acres asked, but say in a few
years enough will be planted to tax
the utmost capacity of a mill of
the largest size.
