RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR
SUNDAY.

Latterly We have been surprised to
read in secular and religious newspa-
pers of a Headline in the ministry.
BY it is meant the line drawn when
the tried ministry must be set aside for
new men, young, ardent, aspiring. We
remember to have read a few months
since such an editorial, but in depre-
cation of the folly and injustice, in the
Nashville Christian Advocate, the able
organ Of the Southern Methodist
church. The venerable and admira-
BILE Rev. DR.. Theodore L.. Cuyler, of
the north, has also beer writing against
this Headline" and of course wisely
and sanely. One of the New York dali
lies, The Evening Post, has lately dis
cussed it. Whatever the plea Of justi-
fication it is a very unwise, oppressive,
unmerciful, unchristian rule if there be
such in operation anywhere. We can
think of nothing more unsound, unjust,
really more wicked, unless it is build
ing colleges and schools and churches
upon the rotten foundation Of the wick
eldest of all fouIsome trusts-the pois-
onous cigarette trust. At fifty the god
ly, useful, scholarly experienced, wise
minister of Christ must give way to
rash men often, and unequally bal
anced sometimes, and self-confdent
and ambitious but Of younger years.
A clear suggestion of he devil we take
it. We have not space now to quote
from what DR.. Cuyler says, but hope to
quote from from him at another day.
It is enough to say here that the dead
line' business is wicked and merciless.
It ought to be ~spewed-out of the mouth
Of all clerics and church boards.

1t has always been so that a Chris
tan can be told by the company he
keeps. It was so in the long ago, and
it is true today as at any time. Truly
religious men and women love the com-
pany Of the religious. They seek fell
times it was said Of some, "That they
took knowledge of them'-of certain
disciples or saints, that they had been
with Jesus" It shone out in their
gracious spirit, in godly walk, in pious
conversation it appeared to on-lokers
that certain persons were not as others;
for Enthusiastically it appeared h a they
were OF that then small class who lis
tened to Jesus Christ in full faith and
tried diligently to keep his holy COM
mandments. The spiritual power OF
Heaven had come upon believers, and
these men and women of God were
walking in love and peace with the in
dwelling spirit filling their soul. They
were in the love and guidance
Of the Lord, and with them
Heaven had already begun on
earth. The religion they professed-
hat Of the adorable and blessed Son of
God-had brought them into close
Christian fellowship and love, and it
began in each just so soon as he or she
had beer introduced to the Saviour by
faith in Him and the power Of the Holy
Ghost. They in spirit walked and
talked with Jesus" holding sweet, gra-
cious, u~nbroken communion with Him,
their Lord and Master. 'They hat be
with Him are called, and chosen, and
faithful" It is an old and wise saw
Tell me a mans company and I will
tell you his character" It is easy to dis
Germ such spirits. The man of the world
loves the things of the world. The
man Of God loves the things Of God.
God commands: Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the world.
II any man low the world. the love of
the Father is not in him." Again He
saith: Thou shall love the Lord thy

with a new and spiritual life is a very
dead affair and counts but little for the
life beyond the grave. A genuine Chris

ly, g~raciously, benignly, or it may come
in mighty shoutings and tremendous
soul agony-even as "a mighty rushing

it is felt, it is marked by unmistakable
signs and sometimes wonders.

TEE JUNTA Is ALL RIGHT.
The Prophet of God can no more
be everywhere present than can the
Father. 1t often becomes neces-
sary, therefore, to appoint commit
tees composed of the leading men
among this people, who will see to
it that nothing is made a law in
this state which is not pleasing in
the sight of the Lord. Many have
said that such q committee did
counsel members of the Legislature
OF 1896 who were of our church
and did threaten them with church
discipline if they should not obey
counsel. / do not say that this is
true, but l do say that it would be
perfectly proper and right if it
was true. Members of the Leg.
islature would have no more right
to disregard the advice of such q
committee than they have the right
to disregard the counsel of Presi.
dent Woodruff, and to disagree
with the mouthpiece of God is the
same as disagreeing with God. You
have your agency and may do all
these things. If you do them you
thereby argue yourself out of the
church, and should not complain
If treated as an apostate.
Any other method would result
in destroying the unity which
should prevail among us, and would
make it impossible for the laws of
the kingdom to be in accordance
with the revelations from Jesus
Christ.
THE CHURCH AND STATE WILL NOT BE
UNITED.
Will the church and state be
merged into each otheif No.
"The gospel covenants are for
those who believe and obey; NUM-
cipal laws are for both saints and
sinners. "-1l Contrib, l6l.
The state though distinct from
the church, will yet be governed
only by those who have
''The power that proceeds from
the Almighty" and "will recog-
nize the will and dictation of
the Almighty, and other people
who may not yield full obedience
to His laws nor be fully instructed
in His covenants, will, nevertheless,
have to yield full obedience to His
government. Gov. Of, God, 8S,
