Resolutions of Respect,

Whereas, our heavenly Father
has seen fit in his providence to
remove from our midst in the per-
son of brother II. r.. Hinkle an eff
cient and faithful ruling elder
from our church, and from the Sab
bath School a most beloved Supt.
Whereas, it becOmeth us as his
friends to bow submissively to Him
who knoweth and dOeth all things
we'll, though to human understand
ing his untimely death seems dark
and mysterious. Still we know
that God never makes any mis-
takes nor needlessly brings sor-
row to his chilcren. Here we see
through a glass darkly but there
we shall see as we are seen, and
know as we. are known; therefore,
be it
Resolved, That we as a Sab
bath School ever cherish his mem
DRY, kind words of counsel and adj
monition, and initiate his example
by becoming christians in early
life, so that we may be blessing
to the church and community III
which we live; and that when death
comes whether suddenly as did his
or having been warned of his com
ing, we may be prepared to enter
into that rest prepared for the peO
pie of God.
2. That we tender our sympath
les to the bereaved family and
friends, and especially to his wife
who has lost a true and devoted
| husband, and to the children who
have had taken from them loving
and tender father; and we too as 6
Sabbath School are grieved at thu
loss Of our Superintendent whose
death adds one more link to thai
chain which binds earth to heaven
and that we point his loved onei
to Jesus the great physician whC
heals all wounded and bleeding
hearts, and that the remembrance
Of him may lead our minds up
ward and our hearts into tina
peace which passeth all under
standing.
3. That we furnish a copy, o
these resolutions to his family ant
also to the SAVANNAH COURIER
and the Cumberland Presbyterian
for publication. Signed by Com
r. N. Campbell. Mrs. Giles Holt.

that if they had the cooking to do,

And / have been told that one
mans opinion is as good as anoth-
ers. One may condemn dancing,
yet does not hesitate TO play a
game of Cinch; another may dance
without conjunction but would
scorn to handle a deck of cards;
some would handle the cards, but
would not stoop so low as to throw
the dice; another who would feel
almost disgraced to indulge III any
of these, would enjy around or two
at billiards. And there are some
who strictly abstain from any of
these indulgences, yet seem to
take a delight in making cutting
and singing remarks about their
neighbors. If you indulge in the
one, why condemn the other? TO
be consistent you should shun the
very appearance ofevil.

THURSDAY EVENING. DEC. ID, 1898,

IT Is NOW proposed that the state
shall extend its paternalism and take
charge of the primary elections held by
political organizations. Some other
States do so, but why, their people
know better than any body else. The
State is not permitted to spend her
peoples money even upon churches
for the stronger reason, she should not
be allowed to do so upon political par
ties. Wherever her authority goes, the
money to enforce it goes with it. II
she can provide for primaries, why not
for ward meetings, and for county and
State conventions? Political parties
are not chartered by the State, and the
State therefore, has nothing to do with
them as parties, and consequently moth
ing to do with the means by
which they select their candidates.
Shall a man who is opposed to the demo-
cratic, republican and populist parties
be taxed to pay the expenses for the
primaries of all those parties? What
would old time Nirginians have thought
ofsuch proposition?
