CHURCH QUARRELS.

1t goes without saying that a quarrel
is the most Improbable business in
which a church of Christ can engage.
There is absolutely is need of it. Not
that "causes Of offense" do not often a.
rise which,, unless judiciously treated,
may easily lead on to bitterness and
strife; but these should always be dealt
with in such spirit of fairness and
Christian forbearance that no quar-
rel can ensue. When differences of
opinion occur, as they will occur in the
"best regulated" churches, it is, we
make bold to say, always possible, by
fraternal consultation and prayer, to ar
rive at an agreement, provided both
sides are anxious to do only the right
thing. Qnarrels are the result Of pride,
envy, malice, selfishness, unholy desile
to get the better Of the opposing side.
OF course, it is not always possible to
avoid a quarrel. A faction in the
church, intent on "ruIe or ruin," may
so menace its best interests that resis-
tance to their designs is a Christian
duty. Paul wisely wrote, 'sif it be
possible, as much as lieth in you, be at
peace with all men," Sometimes it is
not possible. Sometimes it does not lie
with the peaceably disposed to be at
peace. One cannot without recreancy
to duty, stand quietly by and suffer
wrong to triumph. But rarely, we be-
lieve, does it happen that wise,
Christlike forbearance will fail to over
come evil; and those who resist aggres-
siou should be very sure that it is nee
cessary to fight before they take up the
quarrel. They should be very sure
that there is no ''root of bitterness" in
themselves that prompts them to op-
pose force with force, that they have
''the mind that was in Christ" 1t is
always safe to try tie power of Chris
tian love, first of all to iisarm factional
bitterness. If that fails-we think it
will rarely fail, then it will be time
enough to resort to more drastic meas

NEW HOPE ITEMS.

Services We're we'll attended all day
Rev. Brown, of Fort Scott preached
two noble sermons after having
been with us week, he leaves Mon
day morning for his home. Rev
Brown is noble preacher, and
would make good leader for some
church, besides he is a great Sunday
school worker.
Rev. Price, our pastor is home
from the State convention, and re-
ports good ti,Ae.
Our Sabbath school stands second
to no other school in the state. Fv-
cry Sabbath brings new scholars who
are anxious to join us; scholars pres
ent, So; collection SO. 90; B class gains
the banner by three cents; A class
raised $l.33, B class $1.36, and G. class
raised $.31. This is the first time for
month that they have carried off
the banner, and az result they were
almost wild with joy. In all, we had
grand time; we would like to hear
from the different Sabbath schools in
the state, to us it seems that they are
asleep, 80 wake up and let us hear
from you.
Our young peoples meeting was
we'll attended and they had good
meeting.
The Woman's Mission circle met
on Monday evening and had a very
pleasant time. The time of meeting

day night to every second and fourth
Monday of each month. Our worthy

absent for some time; the chair will
then be filled by our noble vice presi-
dent, Mrs. Hattie Alexander.

It is truly gratifying to read the ac-
counts of the holding Of the different
Baptist State Conventions through
out the country. All of them show
a large number of good healthy
churches, and the amount of money
raised is simply surprising when We
take into consideration how hard
times are. Verify the Baptists OF
this country are gaining ground
every day at a more lively rate than
any other denomination.

we hope that in our next issue
VIC will be able to announce to the Bap-
lists of the state that the differences here
tofore existing between B street church,
North Topeka, and Junction City
have been amicably settled. The coun-

issue have, in our estimation, made a
set Of fair recommendations. Now,
let all concerned do their Christian
duty, and the matter is settled.

The age demands more ami more
the best qualified men to fill the var
ious positions and discharge the var
ious duties of life, and in nothing is
there greater need for educated
men than in the ministry. Some
people say that we have too many
preachers we dissent from that pro
position, and say that we have too
many men trying to preach but not
enough preachers. Some claim that
all that is necessary is for man to
have a call from God; but they en-
tirely forget that if GOD calls man,
he has also made it possible for him
to prepare himself for his work.

MOB LAW IN THE SOUTH.

A noteworthy feature of the treat |
ment by Southern newspapers of the
recent lynchings in various parts of
the Sonth, is certain sensitiveness
to criticism and lurking desire to
palliate the great crimes that have
been committed under a notion of
great provocation. Let us start fair
in the discussion Of this question
for it is really and truly the question
that underlies self-government, and
the capacity of the people to con-
duct democracy. And let us be-
gin by saying that there is no provo
cation whatever sufficient in any
manner to justify lawlessness; no
crime so outrageous as to warrant
any social organization that has in
teiligently bound itself together un-
der permanent rules Of action, in
throwing off upon any sudden i'm
pulse or any outburst of impatience
the rules it has deliberately adopted.
Against deliberation, impatience has
no excuse. and if law is worth any
thing, it is worth being regarded
against any stress of impatience or
any outburst of passion. Law must
be absolute, for it expresses the best
sense Of organized society, and is
oe
long experience and wide observa-
ton. Law formulates what the
wisest Of it's enactors and supporters
have found out to be true, benificent
and for the greatest good of the
greatest number And when com
munity claimidg civilization, educa-
ton and refinement rises up in i'm
patience at the slowness Of the oper-
OtiOn of the laws of its own enact
ment, and overturns them all upon
an impulse Of barbarism, what else
is there to be said except that the
community which does it is unfit for
self-government?
For months past there have been
recurring instances of the most bar
barous execution Of the will of the
lawless and bloodthirsty mobs upon
untried and unconvicted criminals,
or persons charged with crime,
| throughout the South. Men charg-
ed with crime have not been merely
killed in accordance with the decen-
cies which public law requires when
capital crimes have been committed.
Men-not white men to be sure, but
men all the same-have been taken
without the form of a trial, or the
chances of organized court; without
permission even to put up their
hopeless hands in explanation or de-
fense against these brutal mobs, have
not only been killed, but have in
many instances been made to suffer
the most inhuman and fiendish tor
! lures as would MAKE the attendants
at gladiatorial show wiring their
hands and cry out, "Mercy" No
such show of cruelty staggers the
sense of pity liz man on all the pages
of history as that which fairly reeks
from the columns of our daily papers
which in almost every issue tells
how the "best acknowledgements
tives Of this, the model Republic
have pursued with hounds, prepar-
ed with deliberatiOn the instruments
of slow torture, and waited for the
apprehension Of the victim to put
him to the torment Of an agonizing
death For what? Punishment
Not by any means, but simply as the
? qualification of a worse than brutal
instinct, the shaking of a thirst for
) blood.

BOTKIN FOR CONGRESS.
The Fighting ParsOn Of Kansas Is to Repre-

The Fighting ParsOn Of Kansas Is to Repre-
sent the Third District.
The Third congressional district Popu.
lists are in the fight with more dstsrmin-
alton than ever before, and that has been
political battle field for several years.
On September q, oyer a hundred dele.
gates, representing COwlsy, Chautaqus,
Elk, Montgomery, Lsbette, Cherokee,
Crawford, Wilson, and Nsosho counties,
held a convention in Cherryvale
and selected J. D. Botkln as a nominee
for congressman, to succeed the popular
7. J. Hudson.
Mr.. Botkin was not a candidate for
the nomination. He had moved into
the district (from Wellington to Nsods-
shB) after Mr.. Hudson had been nomi-
mated and when there was NO public
doubt that the latter would accept the
nomination, for he had not yet returned
from Washington. Nc. Botkin, like
most Of the delegates, strongly favored
the nomination Of John A. Eaton, until
Mr.. Eaton declared that he would not
allow his name to bs brought before the
convention. Mr.. Eaton did this be-
cause he believed that with Sspp, (dem.
ocrst), In the race, he (Eaton) was not
the strongest man the Populists could
nominate, and Sapp would not with
draw.
On the informal ballot the four strong
est candidates appeared to be Mr. Bot
kin, E. H. RidRsly, G. L. McKesson and
DR.. Tanner. On the first formal ballot
Mr.. Botkin received q majority Of the
119 votes and with great enthusiasm
the convention voted to make his nomi-
nation unanimous.
1t was one of the greatest, conventions
ever held in the district. Senator King,
OF Uowley, was temporary chairman and
]. NJ Allen, Of NsoshO, permanent chair
man. The district committee remains
the same as before, with F. II. Atchison,
Of OsWego, ss chairman. All Mr.. Atchi-
son needs is a fair support from the dif-
ferent counties, and he will see that Mr..
Botkin is given an overwhelming ma.
jority.
I'D. Botkln is the Methodist minister
who recently left his pulpit to engage in
political work. On announcing his in
tention he said In a letter to w. H.
Biddle, dated August 13: "There iE
bat one thing for me to do and that is
to take the stump and preach to the
multitudes the gospel of reform, Of hu-
msnity, of God. We are confronted by
q condition that is appalling. The
prices Of farm products do not pay the
cost OF producing, while labor is unem.
ployed and millions Of our citizens beg
and stsrvs in the midst Of plenty" He
is q native OF Illinois and has lived in
Kansas about twelve years.
