Firm and immovable she has stood ia all the years that have run their circles aimee she gave her pledge to be true to the fundamental law Of the land.

 Professor Dabney, of Austin, thinks wo- men are speaking altogether too much in meeting. He writes to the Texas Prssby- tsrisn: This ill-starred movement for the public teaching and ruling in the church Is poisonous infection, which the ecclssi- astical commonwealth is catching by con- tact with tho secular, which, with Its pres ent Jscobin theories, is fast becoming Sstan's kingdom. Jacobism asserts, as you know, the absolute equality of all human beings, irrespective of sex and conditions as to natural right. The doc- Urine is anti philoeophic, anti. Christian and atheistic. But none the less, 1t Is fearfully current and has generally usurp- ed the name and credit of republicanism. A large part of Americana are drunk with this arrogant error.
