Iade with reason.

the annals of the old White. The guests
assembled on the piazZas to bid him an
aifectlonate farewell, and the people OF
the North WED with the people of the
south In nlanlfesting their respect for
MIN. He mounted Traveller, the iron
gray horse that had carried him through
all Of his campaigns. and us he passed
out OF the lawn the General turned and
raised his hat to the crowd In courtly
recognition of the respect that had been
shown him, and at the same time brush
ed the tear drops from his eyes. 1t was
the closing scene Of the old regime.
at present the pleasure seekers Of the
New South and West either so to the
Seashore or further UP into the very
heart OF the Anlegllanies, where Provl-
dencc has smitten the rocks and waters
of superior medicinal virtues gush forth
In valleys Of unusual natural beauty
surrounded with rugged peaks, grand
sublime and Gwe-inspirlng; where the

wild woods. AS for me- am like the
burglar who broke into q hardware

raigned before a Magistrate pleaded ex-
tenuating circumstances to the effect

DIR. ABBOTT AND JONAH

Rev. DR.. Lyman Abbott has called
down upon his devoted head a storm Of
criticism from his brother ministers. be-
cause Of a report recently printed I'm the
New York papers OF a discourse which
he made on the book Of Jonah in which
he is said 10 have referred 10 that book
as the Pickwick Papers Of the Bible
1t was also reported that Or. Abbott rid.-
culed the story in such a way as TO con-
vulse his congregation with laughter. and
that he was. on tho whole. most ire
weren't in his treatment OF the subject
Or. Abbott. in reply TO this criticism
says
II the ministers objection is leyelled
against spirit OF irrcverence which was
imputed 10 me by some Of the morning
papers Of Mondays issue. / agree with
the criticism; but as matter Of fact
do not think the sermon Of Sunday
night was lacking In reverence either to
Gcd the Bible. the story OF Jonah. or the
religious faith OF those who believe 81
10 be history. ] did not compare 10 to
the Pickwick Papers. and the sermon
was not greeted with frequent laughter.
There was laughter at one point. and
that was due 10 the incOngruity in the
story itself as told in pictorial language.
Whether the book Of Jonah BIS 10 be
regarded as a history or as a satrical
picture leyclied against the narrow mind
cdncss OF the religious teachers of the
Jewish people and 10 teach the universal
mercy Of God. Is Il question 90 be de-
termincd by the simple examination OF
the book itself One view Is as rcyeront
and as consistent with belief IN inspira-
tion as is the other.
II IS not our purpose 90 discuss tho in-
spiration Of the Scriptures. as 1t Is not
in our province 20 do so. But We think
that a secular paper may be permitted
say this much. or course we must
accept DR.. Abbott's denial and acquit him
of any intentional irreverence, but we
are not surprised that the report OF his
discourse. as we read II at the time IN
the New York press. should have call
cd forth the condemnation OF an ministers
Of tho gospel lrreverence Is the distin-
gushing sin Of this age. II IS the charac-
teristic sin OF the American people The

dents Cabinet. and the members OF Con-
gress are simply men, and there is no

eminent belongs TO him. and he will say
what he pleases about Il.
1t is but a step from this. 10 irreyerence

OF the gospel set the example OF fun-mak-
