when all men have outgrown and
abandoned the theory of salvation
built on belief in the fall of man,
and accept that theory of salvation
which is built on belief in the recti
tude and divineness of human nature,
and in the indestructible capacity
of man for endless progress in
knowledge and virtue, and goodness,
and in all that belongs to the life of
God.
Let the Salvation Army have their
crude notions, if they will. Let them
have their shouting and clatter, and
parades, and strange and sensational
actions and utterances, and make
broad their phylacteries, and split
the ears of the groundlings with
their noise, and stir the risibles of
men with their inventions of quaint
or ludicrous EXPLANATIONS. All this
we can tolerate, and believe that they
are sincere in it, and can bid them
God speed, SO long as they work the
works of God by lifting men and
women out of the slums of misery
and sin, out of the earthly hells of
vice and crime, and make their souls
again a garden of God, where shall
bloom the flowers Of purity, peace
and love. We also can say, God bless
General Booth and the Salvation
Army.
"Out of the mouths of babes
and sucklings hast thou ordained
strength"
God chooses "the weak things of
the world to confound the mighty;"
and how often is the wisdom of the
foolish greater than the wisdom of
the wise.

God" He may have been in error; but
there is no doubt about his meaning.

1t is much the fashion in our days
to approve or condemn treatise in any
department, and especially in theology.
according as it proceeds on the induc-
tive or deduetive method of inquiry.
But both methods are legitimate and
have been used in all faithful researches.
Where verified general principle or law
cannot be laid hold of the inductive is
the only admissible method. Where
such general principle law is grasped
the deductive method may be used with
much greater advantage. In morals, in
craftsmanship, in finance, it is impera-
tive to go on principles of universal ap-
plication. Only SO can rules and statutes
b. made for coming years and un-
known cases. Some persons seem to
imagine that there are no verified prin-
ciples in religion; everything is to be re-
tried tomorrow morning.
We have had the opportunity-we
cannot say the pleasure-of reading sew
eral installments of the remarks Mr..
Samuel Gompers, President OF the
American Federation of Labor, is accus-
toned to make for the encouragement of
the faithful and the enlightenment of
the public. What the talents or acquire
ments are which have marked out Mr.
Gompers for the position he holds can
only be conjectured. He is very sue
cessful in his speeches in concealing his
abilities of every kind One cannot for
bear to suggest, that man whose re-
sources lie too deep for words should
seek some other medium of communica-
ton with cold and unappreciative world
than the platform and the press.
The New York Evening Post takes
the late Robert G. Winthrop as text for
a sermon on deterioration in our public
men. When one compares the represen-
tatives in the House and Senate, and
the occupants of gubernatorial chairs of
the last thirty years with those OF the
period when Mr.. Winthrop was in public
life-1S35 to 1855-it is certain that the
decline is not only manifest but startling.
Here and there really first-cass man
maintains himself in public Office. But
the Post is not far wrong in saying that
our men most competent for high places
ale, in some States. as effectually kept
out of them as if they were under the
ban of legal disqualification.
We have often pointed out that it is
a delusion to suppose 1.-The people" pre-
fer progressive to conservative or even
reactionary religion. 1.-THE people" di-
vide on this as they do on all other sub
iects. But the greater part of them,
even in country of free institutions and
of SO enterprising spirit as ours, lean 10
conservatism. This is shown by many
conspicuous instances, but by none more
than by the fact that the most conserv-
ative sects are the largest and most pros
porous. The action of the Presbyterian
church on the cases of Prof. Briggs and
Prof. Smith should have produced di-
rect effect on its growth and have chilled
public sympathy for its administration.
AS matter of fact the Presbyterian
church shows an increase of nearly
thirty per cent in the last two years.

THE HE'LL OF SIN.
BY REV. GEO. A. sAHLIN.

In the times of revivals and of re-
ligious excitement men become pos
sessed of fear. They wish to escape
future hell, TO become sure of the
future heaven. They forget that we
cannot go to heaven alone. If heav-
en is good for self it is good for our
neighbor as we'll. The theologian is
not so sure of the territorial location
of hell as he was, neither does he at
tempt to locate heaven in space. If
the teaching of Jesus is to be believed
heaven ana hell are terms denoting
the moral or spiritual con lition of
men rather then indicatinga place ;.s
the object of their destiny. A soldier
once told me, that, as he lay upon the
battle field for days and nights, with
his arm torn from his shoulder,
soldier of the opposing forces lay
near him. Weak as they were, enc
mics in battle, in the presence of
death they shared each others food;
that for them was h, aven. The sur
geon of the victorious army passed
by our hero as he lay upon the aground
and kicked him, refusing to admins
ter to his needs; that was hell for the
surgeon when he awakened to the
fact that he had allowed brutal hatred
to reign in his breast.
We are told that heaven or hell is
not SO much locality as the condi-
ton of mems souls. Wherever men
and women may assemble the dis
cerning eye can detect those whose
lives are lived in heaven, and on the
contrary those whose lives are spent
in hell. We have seen in the great
city of New York, in the tenement
house districts, the little bare-footed
girl, without covering for her head,
sent ON an errand to the saloon for
the liquor that shall be as fuel to the
flames of hell that exist in the drunk
ards, mind and heart, with the ground
covered with snow, and the cold,
fierce winds penetrating almost to
her very heart, stop and linger in
front of the window which permits
her to see more fortunate humanity
satisfying the pangs of hnnger, while
she, child, staryes for food neces-
sary to existence. 1t is hell, we say,
for the child, that she sees the feast
but cannot eat. No, it is hell for
humanity when it awakens to the fact
that it has satisfied its hunger while
it has allowed gaunt starvation to O
tempt one of the least of these, as
Jesus would call her, that she is COM
PEELED to plunge into crime to satisfy
the natural craving of the body for
food and clothing.
The mission of Jesus was to save
men from sin,-from hell. He does
not urge as the supreme motive for
salvation that men are to repent be-
cause hell will get us. Hetells us to
repent for the kingdom of heaven is
at hand. If we are not assured that
we have part in heavenly things then
we may rest assured that our exis-
tence, so far, has bee n spent in hell.
Men are sinful because they are ignor-
ant, not always because they are vic
ious. We want manly and womanly
Christians. Men and women who,
when they have repented, are willing
to bear the penalties of their wrong
doing, for penalty is the undoing of
wrong and making righteousness su-

THAT SALE OLE TURPENr1NE.
Asserted That it was Not Made as a
Concession to Smaller Factors.

Savannah, Ca, Aug 29.-Editor
Morning News: In your issue of 26th
inst, under heading ITO Consolidate the
Spirits, " YOU state that large guam
tity of spirits has been sold at 2615 cents,
and was considered q sort of concession
TO the smaller factors"
You can readily see that such a state
ment if allowed TO pass unchallenged
places the smaller factors, who are in
no manner smaller except in avoirdupois
and in point of receipts) in false posi-
tlon with those who ship to them and
might tend to defect shipments from
them to the larger factors do not know
whether the article herein referred to
originated with the reporter, or whether
il was acquired otherwise, but I do know
that as a matter of fact there is not
particle Of truth in the statement that
large quantity of spirits was sold at 26l5
cents as a sort of concession to the small
factors The small factors have been
and are bulls" from the word 90, and
they have never asked for any concessions
tending TO lower the price Of spirits of

Capture of a Swell Paris Burglar.
From the London Daily News.

lOil tue LOuQOu daily News
Circumstances have led to the arrest in
Paris of a dangerous criminal named
Corbeau, who, like the fashionable bur
glar in the play of The Silver King"
has been leading a double life for a long
time past. He is a man of superior edu-
cation aud polished manners, and he in
habited beautifully furnished villa at
Montague. Aided by gang of rufians,
seven or eight in number he planned
some audaclous burglaries, which COM
plejelY puzzled the police. Among those
robbed was the veteran actor, M. Barre
of the Coincide Franchise, whose house
was regularly sacked. Corbeau drove in
the Bots de Boulogne in handsome car
carriages, and was thought to be a man
of independent fortune. His downfall was
brought about indirectly by a woman
Going home the other day, after a brief
stay out of town, one of his accomplices.
a man named Charlton, found that the
woman he had been living with had gone
away, taking with her all the furniture.
Before long he discovered that she had
fled with one of his accomplices, and he
traced them TO lodgings over a police
station. There he made o scene, and
threatened to kill his rival, who there
upon rushed downstairs and sought the
protection of the police. This led TO mu-
tual accusations and the arrest of the
two men, VINO were soon followed to
prison by COrbeau and the other members
Of the gang it is believed that Corbeau's
private expenditure on his house alone
has been ESQ month, and, according to
Charlton, the meanest member of the band
received &l00 month as his share of the
plumber.

RAIL AND CRossTIE.

Railroad rumors to the effect that the
Vanderbilts intend to extend the Blue
Ridge railroad from Walhalla 10 Knox
vile, Tenn, come from Pendleton, S. c.,
and in this connection, it is said, Capt V.
E. McBee will in all probability be at the
head of the scheme. 1t is said that the
extension will be made within a short
time. The Blue, Ridge railroad was not
included with the Columbia and Green
vile railroad when the latter was sold to
the Southern, and it is believed it can now
be bought for a low price This road is
thirty miles in length, and runs from
Walhalla to Anderson. 1t is said to be
the desire and intention of the Wander
bits to get the Savannah Valley railroad
between Anderson, S. c., and Augusta.
and from there to endeavor to control the
Port Royal and Augusta railroad, which
would give them a through route from
Knoxville to Port Royal This is one of
the railroad rumors which have been cur
rent in South Carolina for some time and
it remains to be seen whether 1t is plan
that will be carried out
