Mississippi leader. (Jackson, Miss.) 1892-1895, 1893-07-25

Rev. J. L. Millican in Tennessee Meth
odist.
DR.. j. ID. Smith throws down
his glove, and invites some one to
pick it up. As to the necessity
of political Party Advocating
the Abolition of the Licensed Iii
quor Traffic, = | shall have moth
ing to say: It's with the attitude
of Christian voters to such Il par
ty that ! propose to deal.
1. He is very fond of quoting
the delivcrance of the last Gene
raj Conference on the prohibition
question, and insists that this de
liverancc binds every Methodist
to vote with political party ad-
vocating prohibition. We deny
that any such intention was in the
mind of that body. One peculiar
distinction of the Nj. +. Church,
South, is that it is NONPOLITICAL
CHURCH. This view is the basis
of her existence as Il separate ec-
clcsiastical body. We are init
matcly acquainted with some who
were members of that body, and
some of the bishops, and know
their views are contrary to DIR.
Smith :. do not know of Il
more thorough Democrat than our
senior bishop. DR.. Smiths ar
gument, therefore, is erroneous,
far fetched, and a gross misrepre-
scntation of the NJ. f. Church,
South. He argues from false
premises, hence his argument fails.
The Church is Il SPIRITUAL insti-
tuition for the spiritual uplifting
of the race. Christ was no poll
tician, and many of His followers
left Him because they could not
drag Him into politics. The
Church that enters politics departs
from the example of Christ. He
said, "My kingdom is not of this
world" His command is, "GO
We, therefore, and teach all ma
tions, = = : teaching them to OBJ
serve all things whatsoever | have
commanded YOU" What | have
commanded YOU, whom | now
send forth, not what was com
manded the Jewish Church. "Be
hold all things spiritually are
become new. Any one who
would seek further for Il ''Thus
saith the Lord" is Joined to his
idols.
3. He cites resolution of the
Tennessee Conference, and holds
that small number of voters, com
pared with the voters of the
State, responsible for the result
which followed. The injustice of
this argument is so patent that it
needs only to be stated.
3. He refers to the vote ON
the amendment, and seems sur
prised that that vote was so chang
cd in the next political campaign.
The reason is easily found. The
"amcndment' was outside of pol
itics. and its advocates of every
political faith voted for it. BY
this means the full strength for
prohibition in the State was
brought out. Those who sold
themselves to the other side are
not worth counting. Query:
How many were bought by the
other party!
4. He criticises Chancellor Gar
land. SET I'D GENUS OMNE. He
insists that his sort and kind crit
icise ministers for entering poll
ties to purify them, and, We sup
pose, TO Christianize them, and
yet vote with liquor licensing
party, sell themselves to the sa-

We watch the beauty of the rose and
lily and wonder at their perfect shape
the rare purity Of their blended colors,
and the still more harmonious shape and
blending of each structure and of the
different parts. We must acknowledge
that the rose and lily, the buttercup and
daisy, are among natures most graceful
and perfect works. But the grand and
solemn forests have greater and more
perfect beauty to show.
Everyleaf regular and in perfect form,
and If shortened or crossed and curled
up against another, it is done in such a
manner that the most perfect harmony
reigns. The leaves and boughswill blend
together and swing in the most graceful
and perfect style. Every curve and mo
ton is made in the most symmetrical
manner.-Boston Transcript

The laws of political and ecclesiastical
censure had come again into force, and we
actors had to contend with very serious diff
fculties in observing the innumerable eras-
ures and the ridiculous substitutions which
the censors made in our lines.
The colors green, white and red were pro
hibited. Yellow and black and yellow and
white were also forbidden. Flowers thrown
on the stage must not show any of those
colors prominently, and il it CHANGED that
one actress had white and green in her
dress, another who wore red ribbons must
not come near her. If we transgTessed, we
were not punished with simple warnings,
but with so many days of arrest, and with
fines which varied in amount according to
the gravity of the offense
| remember well that one night when
played the captain a. Goldoni's "Sposa
Sagace," was fined 10 scudi for wearing a
blue uniform with red facings and white
ornaments, for the excellent reason that
the blue looked green by artificial light.
Another time our leading actress was
playing Marie Stuart and had TO receive
the dying David Rizzio in her arms and
to kiss him on the forehead just as he drew
his last breath i had to pay 20 scudi for
the kiss had received without being aware

many other letters in the alphabet. Ro-
mantle young mothers are very apt to
give it the cold shoulder when thinking
up name for boy babies, but perusal of
the following list of names will convince
the most romantic young couple that the
plain, homely, modest letter 81" is the
mascot of the alphabet and most de-
sirable letter for their baby boy to have
at the beginning Of his name.
Starting with the presidents of the
United States, we have John Adams,
James Madison two terms), James Mon

Tyler, James X. Polk, James Buchanan,
James A. Garfield and the first and only
president of the Confederate states, JEFF
ferson Davis, making nine presidents
whose given names begin with 81"

"What is il that gives the old English
masters such Distinction" asked painter
the other day. Time, with his mellowing
hand who turns all things brown" was
the reply. This is noticeable in the pic
lures by Reynolds Opie, Crome, Muller,
Romney, and in some of the sketches by
Constable, which the DOwdeswells exhibit.
As an old academician once said, They
have got porty by time," and Of course i'm
proved But few Of the old men struggled
after light as some Of the younger men of
today do. They composed in values-a
streak Of light, then streak of shade.
They rarely, except Constable, felt that
light permeates everywhere; it underlies, it
eliminates, even the deepest shadows.

A Narrow Escape For One Man.

The Importance Of examining closely the
hair found on weapons was shown in a case
I'm which Ratchet, having clotted blood
and hair adherent to it, was produced as
evidence against a prisoner suspected Of
murder in little country town. 1t was
found under his bed. This, with other cir
cumstantial evidence, had turned public
opinion strongly against the prisoner, but
when the hair was examined by micro
scopist who CHANGED to be in the court
room il was found not to be human, but
that of some animal This circumstance
led to a more complete sitting of the evil
dence, and the accused was acquitted. It
turned out that he had killed dog with
the Ratchet and had carelessly thrown the
weapon under the bed. So his life literally
hung on a hair.-Toronto Mail.

The Relation Of Man and Monkey.

We may illustrate the relations Of man
the anthropoids and the monkeys by COM
pairing the order of primates to a tree. The
lemurians are the roots, giving rise to one
or several stocks. One of these is the stock
of the monkeys, one of the limbs Of which
sends up higher branch-that of the an
thropoids. Another branch, of which the
point of its origin or contact with the pre-
ceding branch escapes our search, gives the
actual human branch, which rises parallel
to the anthropoid branch, has no relation
to il and passes beyond it.-Paul Topinard

Tennyson a spiritualist.

II will interest and surprise most peo-
pie to know that the late Lord Tennyson
was an ardent spiritualist. None of his
readers could be ignorant of the poets
profound spirituality, of course, for that
is apparent on almost every page of his
works, but there is nothing in his poems
TO indicate that he was genuine be-
lever in what is known today as spirit
ualism." He never openly declared his
belief in the spirit world, out Of defer
ence to the strong feeling of his wife and
family ON the subject, but he entertained
on various occasions during his life pro-
fessional spirit mediums from London,
and during his later years he expressed
an eager desire to establish spiritualistic
communication with his dead son, Lionel.
These interesting facts have been
known only by his family and immediate
circle of friends, for the poet rarely al
luded to his belief. Like Victor Hugo,
he even refrained from using poetry
which he thought had been dictated by
the spirits In this way the world has
no doubt lost many a noble line, for
Lord Tennyson became a convert to
spiritualism when quite young man.
1t will be interesting to see what light
the present Lord Tennyson will throw
on this subject in the biography he is
preparing. 1t is quite possible, however,
that the public win be disappointed, for,
important as this trait in the poets
character is, it is said to be the present
intention of the family to omit all refer
ence to it.-Cor. Cincinnati Tribune.

serip,ural Authority For Advertising.

A reverend gentleman who has charge
of the advertising of a prominent reli-
gious weekly was recently asked what
Scriptural authority he could find for
his occupation. oh he replied, that
is easy enough. Advertising not only
has Scriptural authority, but is of very
respectable antiquity as well. If you will
look in Numbers xiv, IA, you will find
Balaam saying, Come, now, and l will
advertise and Boaz says in Ruth Nv, a.,

ing is no modern thing. New Orleans
