SENT BY HIS MASTER
To Preach to the Jews.-The Mission of
 Poor Old Aaron Burlenson.

In the city there is a poor old man by. the name of Aaron Burlenson who is peculiarly afflicted, mentally. He claims that his Master sent him to preach to the Jews, and to tell them what they must do to be saved, as the end of the world is near at hand.
 He is man nearly 70 years of age and arrived here Monday morning from Little Rock He has no money and says that his fare was paid to this city by Jew i'll Little Rock by the name of Rubenstein.
 When he got off the train at this place he asked d by-stander where he could find a Christian minister, and was referred to Rev. A. O. Evans, of the Methodist church. He replied that he wanted a dcvout Jew, rabbi. He was then referred to Rabbi Becker Burlenson at once went to the Temple where he found the ral bi busily engaged i'll teaching d class of pupils. When asked what he wanted he replied that his Master had sent him to teach the Jews what they must do to be saved, and if they did not heed his teachings they would be eternally damned, as the end of the world was near at hand. Rabbi Becker saw that he was crazy on the subject, and after talking with him a few moments told him to take q seat until he was at leisure and he would talk further with him. An officer was sent for and the old man was taken away. Since that time
 he has been wandering about the streets in search of a aeyont Jew who would heed his teachings. He has been fed by the Chief of Police, through charity The Chief does not know what to do with the poor old man, who scems perfectly sane on every other subject.
 Burlenson says that he has two sons at Eviston, Mo, and one son who lives near Wolf Creek, in Pike county, this State. The Chief has written to them to send for their father, but so far nothing has been heard from them. This morning Bur lenson informed q GRAPHIC reporter that one of his sons, at one time tried to have him corfied in an in- sane asylum, but could not do so, because he was not insane. In teach ing, he said, he was simply obeying the instructions given him by his Divine Master.
 The poor old man, apparently famrer, who has become insane on religious matters He seems to be well read on Jewish history and the Bible. Something should be done with him, as the burden of his sup nort is too great to be imposed on Thief Stewart.

TIMES IMPROVING.
This Section of the World in Much Bet Ger Financial Conelit,en Than It
 Was Last Year,

That our people are in a more prosperous condition than they were a year ago, there is no question. Everything goes to prove this. The farmers now raise nearly everything they need at home. They have to buy neitlfer, meat nor bread i'll the Northern or Western markets. Our people are living better. and yet more economically. There is less credit business being done by our merchants and business men than ever before in the history of Pine Bluff, and the day is not far off when this blight to trade will be entirely done away with. The postofiice of a city is a true index to it's condition. When times are good, the business in the office always increases. Knowing this, q GRAPHIC reporter called upon Postmaster Hudson fer a comparative statement of the bus mess of his office for the month of April. 1891, and the same month for the year 1895, which is as follows, and it shows an increase in business for this year of $l, l,235 .s5:

THE LECTURE
Of ". J H. Traynor. Supreme President of the A. P A, at the Opera House
 Last Night.


 Mir. W. j. IL Fraynor. Supreme President of the A P. A, of Detroit, Mich, delivered q lecture on the prin- ciples of that order to fair=sized audience at the Opera-house last night
 He begun by reeiting the causes for the organization of the order and then launched forth on the teachings of Romanism and the Pope. He read what pnrported to be the oath of Bishops at the time of their ordin- alton and offered a reward of $l00 to anyone that would contradict It. He then referred to the beliefs of the Catholich Church, and the doctrine of anssubstantiation by which the priests claim that bread is converted into tine body and wine into the blood of Christ. "How can any man believe" he asked, that a Priest can change a little piece of dough into the body of Christ when he hasn't the power to change a toad. He then read from Catholic canons where saints were to be honored and relics yenerated, which, he said, would ac count for the scheme of n lot of spec ulators who exhibited in New York a big bone in Il glass case. and hich was witnessed by 20 GOO Catholics at $1 each.
 The speaker then referred to tile power of indulgences as taught by the priests and added that about one priest in every 9 is fool enough to believe this stuff. The others are iniidels y
 .sTrue obedience to the Pope as the true apostle of Saint Peter and the representative of Jesus Christ is the teaching of the Catholics, he con tinued, "and all things contrary to these teachings are mathematical. A Roman Catholic holds his first all legiance to the Pope who rules over one-sixth of the people of the world" ]" The speaker claimed that Roman ism is inconsistent with the Consti- tuition of the United States, because the Pope has power to absolve sub feet from allegiance to his gov sernment. The Pope can release from i obligation either before or after. The Papacy also teach that the exc cution of heretics is an absolution from sin. Poor people, pity them, :" he continued, "they would.makegood and patriotic citizens were they not unler the power of the Pope.
 The speaker then read from Cath ollie canons, Catholic papers and the sayings of the Popes and Bishops and charged that the government was corrupt and dominated by Catholics.
 Mr. Traynor then launched forth upon the principles of the A. r. A, and concluded by saying that the or ganization was to purify politics and not to prosecute Papists.
 The lecture was begun at s:30 and did not conclude runtil II o'clock,

Church Di.clnIine.

How far should the church so toward
debating the personal habits of its min
isters and members? The question is sug-
gested by the recent action of the New
England Methodist conference in the mat
ter Of pledgins its ministers TO abstain
from the use Of tobacco in any form.
The book of discipline Of the church for
bids the use of tobacco. In conformity
with the rule, several candidates for the
ministry were asked to pledge themselves
not to use the weed. One candidate de-
clind to take the pledge. He said he did
not use tobacco and never expected to do
so. but would not bind himself by prom
Use. Upon this statement he was favorably
reported and will enter the ministry with
out having taken one OF the pledges us
ually required.
The action of the conference, it is I'M
derstood, was generally approved. If
after entering the ministry, the young man
should use tobacco. he could be brought
to trial for it, but not for breaking his
pledge, for he made no pledge.
AS to the use of tobacco; it may be as
harmful as. Is claimed, stin. there are
many bralny and influential men addicted
to it's use. Would it be good policy and
good religion to prohibit such men from
| laboring for the church in the ministry J.?
1t would furthermore. probably be safe to
say that the rule against the use of to-
bacco is not always strictly lived up to by
men in the ministry. Should such men,
mentally and spiritually qualified, and ef-
fective workers, be required to give up
| either their cigars or their pastorates
We do not know If the southern Methodist
church has the anti-tobacco rule, but pre-
sumo 1t has, since there is but little diff
| ference in the system of government in
| the northern and the southern branches
| of the church. The southern church, we
believe. prohibits its members from going
to the theater, Notwithstanding WHICH a
good many Methodists do so to the thea
ter. 1t is a questionable question
whether it would not be better for the
church to be less exacting in its Iegisla-
ton upon matters relating TO the minor
morals. such. for instance. as ministers
using tobacco and church members at
tending the theater.

The southern BaptI.t..

I The Southern Baptist convention, IN ses-
sion al Washington. is one OF the largest
Of the several annual church
assemblages. and is. PROBABLY.
the most important church meet
/ ing to be held this spring. The attendance,
/ based upon popular representation, IS not
! as large as IL might have been. owing 10
/ the distance some Of the delegates would
have had 10 travel: still the number OF
delegates present approximates Soo-a suf-
nciently large number to make the meet
ing memorable one in the annals Of the
church.
The convention is notable. aside from
the important questions TO be discussed,
because Of the fact that il marks the fif
tieth anniversary OF the formation Of the
Southern Baptist churches into an organ
ization separate from the organization Of
the northern churches. The movement to
separate the churches Of the two sections
took shape at the convention Of the Bap-
tist Home Missionary Society
1875. At that meeting it was
decided that it was better for the northern
and southern members to amicably form
separate organizations. which was acted
upon, and has since been lived up 10. It
Is worthy OF remark that other denomi-
nations also divided pretty much upon
the issues that brought about the civil
war, and that practically all OF the denom-
nations continue to this day to maintain
separate organizations. while in political
sense the country has long been reunited.
II seems a little strange that religion.
which teaches brotherly love and unity
should be so far behind politics in bring
ing about a Improvement between the
sections.
In the fifty years since the separation
of the two branches of the Baptist church.
the southern section of it has made rapid
strides. According to an enumeration
made early this year, the membership of
the Southern Baptist church is 2G79. 454.
the number Of associations is 6s4, the num-
Der OF ordained ministers is $3.50 and the
number of churches Il, Si6. The missionary
contributions last year were more than
100000. 1t appears the field of work in both
home end foreign missions has been con
siderably increased. and the outlook for
stin further increases during the next
twelve months is good The advent OF
better times in the business world has
been Of material advantage 20 the church
work.
