Jugde w. P. Hall.

In another column will be found

Hall for Congress. In his profession
Judge Hall has won and deserves
the reputation Of being man of
ability and learning, possessed of
all those qualities that go to consti-

tive advocate, and the successful
lawyer. During his whole political
life he has made the cause of the
people his cause, and of every move
ment towards reform in our institu-

he has come in contact as being
able in intellect, courageous in con-
victions, unfaltering in loyalty, un-
swerving in truth, and immaculate
in integrity. He is a man eminent
ly qualified for the position, aud
would make the Fourth District a
good Congressman.
Judge Hall stands upon the Dem

Good Friday.

Tomorrow will be the most SOL
emn day in the whole year to the
christian world. It commentaries
the crucifixion of Jesus Christ, the
Saviour of mankind.
All down the ages the anniversary
OF this crucifixion has been CON-
memorated. 1t outlived the perce.
cution of the Roman Emperors, the
incursions of the Goths and Vandals
and the various controversies that
shook the early church. 1t has re-
mained as an evidence of historic
event, as we'll as of the completion
OF a mission that taught the world
lessons that it had mover known be-
fore.
when we contrast the condition
OF the people of civilized and Chris
uah countries with those of the peo-
pie OF non-Christian lands, we are
lrresistibly brought to the conclu-
sion that the influence of Christian
its has been beneficial to the world.
"ithont some religious belief man
Aind would be without any motive
W right action. We speak of honor,
oue honor was derived from belief in
the gods among the Greeks and Ro.
'nahs, and when that belief weaken.
eo and nothing took it's place. the
ereeks ceased to struggle for liberty
ana the Romans became the slaves
Oh their Emperors. Our ideas of
nohor were derived originally from
SuiValry, and that institution rested
upon religious belief. AS to probity
sno honesty, the Christian religion
.s nas ever upheld and maintained
living. " i's''

ly. He is a thorough and jealous
