Spirita, - 'in the name of country, daugh-
ter and sacred spiritess."
Bishop Butler and Arch bishop Seeker
had only Presbyterian baptism; Arch
bishop Iillotson was the son % a Baptist
and was never baptized. and there is no
evidence he ever was a deacon. and his
priests orders were invalid. What be-
comes Of aPostolical with such flaws.
These are only specimens Of difficulties.
THE CHURCH or SCOTLAND.
IN the Episcopal Scotch church there
were no bishops for 22T years, from A. d.
ZIl3. Then the Culdees, with only pres
byters. spread Christianity to the
Thames and baptized and ordained so

bury. the first Protestant Episcopal
bishop in the United States. Bishops,
Boosting apOstOlical succession, can get it
thus only through Presbyterian ordina-
ton. This is very good but not for a
prelatist. The Scotch prelatic succession
Is worthless from Introduction OF laymen
into Office: from bribery and gross viola
tons of canOns OF twenty-eight bishops
in continuous series there is no record of
their ordination. II viii never do to rest
salvation and church government on such
foundations.
THE TRUE THEORY.
In the Bible itself, said Dr. Vass, are
found only two orders In the ministry
presbyters or bishops and deacons; ana
an orderly association Of churches as
authoritative courts with power of ordi
nation and rule. All through the ages,
from apostolic days, have bodies existed
holding forth these testimonials though
long pressed back by the dominant papal
usurpation. At the reformation emerged
again the great truths Of Gods word
and now they are triumphant. Among
Protestants the Presbyterians are per-
haps the most numerous body in the
world.
Presbyterianism is no modern inyen-
ton. IT is the development Of the Chris
tianity of Christ in conflict with human
error, wants, sorrows and sins 1t eXalts
Gods word as supreme and infallible for
doctrine and practice. 1t magnities SOW
ereign, divine grace above sacraments
ana forms, and claims freedom in Jesus
for conscience. Christ's atoning sacrifice
is the only sure foundation for pardon of
sin and eternal rest Christ is the only
head of the church, and no earthly priest
can usurp his place. He rules through
the courts. established under the word
So sbyterianism-is the elimination
Of the development to Christianity from
the apostles of this daY. 1t cOmprehends
the genuine Christianity Of all ages. 1t
cOnserves all the achievements of the
Christian church. 1t leads the advance
of the hosts of God. 1t makes steady
progress toward the realization of the
ideal of Christianity in the golden age of
the Messiah We assume no Pharisaical
airs, and make no lordly pretensious; but
with love to our brethren we claim to be
built on the Bible in doctrine and govern
ment, and to rest on the great and eternal
corner stone, Jesue Christ.

The body Of Young Frank Middleton,

The search for it was carried on all day

James E. MeIdrin Comes Near Dying
From Too Much Morphine.


Mr.. James e. Meldrim, who lives at No.
lib Duffy street, came near dying yester-
day from an overdose of morphine taken
the night before.
Mr.. Meldrim had been suffering for
sometime from neuralgia, for which he
was being treated by DR.. S. j. Lanier.
Among the prescriptions given him was
morphine in tablets, which he had been
taking for several days. He also had
some morphine in powdered form. Sat
urday night sometime, he got up and took
this powder thinking, as he stated yester-
DAY after he had been brought back to
consciousness, that he had taken quinine.
About 3 O'Clock yesterday morning he
began acting strangely, and efforts to
arouse him were unsuccessful. Mrs.
Meldrim at once feare1 that something
unusual had happened, and sent for Dr.
S. J. Lanier. When DR.. Lanier arrived
Mr.. Meldrin was unconscious, and arti-
fetal respiration was tried for four
hours, after which time signs Of life
were apparent. Dr. Brandt was also
called in, and the artificial respiration
was kept up for some hours. 1t was
o'clock yesterday afternoon when he was
finally brought to consciousness, and
from the conversation had with him then
it seemed he had mistaken the morphine
for quinine, which he said he had in
tended to take.
II was reported that Mr.. Mel
drim had attempted suicide, but
his friends say, and the circumstances
seem point to tie fact, that he had been
mistaken in the medicine he was taking.
MIR. Me.drim was for long time en-
ployed as foreman of the paint shop at the
Central railroad car works, but left that
position about two years ago and has
since been out OF permanent employment.
He is an earnest and consistent member
of the Wesley Monumental church, being
a member of its board of stewards.
Mr.. Meldrim was resting easy last
night and the chances are that he will re-
cover in few days.
