Advanced Theories 'Propounded by the
Pastor of an Eastern Church.
1t may be that Rev. DR.. Chamberlain
Of the First Congregational church,
Newark, N. j.. is sincere in the project
which he has in hand. but not a few OF
his congregation are of the opinion
that he has simply brought it to pub
lice notice as a means of drawing more
attention 10 himself than he has hith-
erto enjoyed. Or. Chamberlain believes
that courtship can be reduced TO an
exact science. with none Of the hap
hazard features which too often char
acterize it, He laughs derisiyely when
reminded that poets have in all ages
alleged that love is not a matter that
can be ruled and regulated.
seourtship, says this reverend foe of
Cupid, should be a matter governed by
science and elaboration. / have as much
respect for a fellow who falls in love
as | have for man who falls into a
ditch. Love should never be considered
in carrying on courtship. but after
the courtship has been conducted on
purely common-sense grounds and mar
riage has taken place there viii arise.
slowly but surely, a new dignTied senti-
ment which will last all through life
and guarantee a lifetime of continual
happiness. This is what love is and al
ways should be. Courtship should be
one of the most dignihed sciences of life,
as well as the most delicate. 1t should
be placed ON the same level and treated
in as thorough a business manner as We
select some profession or enter some line
of mercantile work.
When a young man desires to marry
he should acquaint his family of his
wish. and they should set about to find
some marriageable kirl a little younger
than himself. who is free from any ply
steal deformity and who has been ac-
customed TO only such a social life as
the young mans probable income will
allow her To lead. The couple should
then devote number Of months to Gull
tiyating each others society. 1 wish We
could have a code of ethics brought into
general recognition which would make
il absolutely necessary for every candi-
date for matrimony to exhibit to the
parents of the opposite party a certifi-
cate signed by two reputable physicians
showing that the holder IS entirely free
from every kind Of communicable dis
ease or any affection which might be
transmitted to posterity
Dr. Chamberlain's notions about love
and courtship are sCorned by all the
younger members of his congregations
Not a few of the elders are also in

ment will be in inVerSer alto to what he

Carswell of Waycross, who married

Property Hitherto Exempt May Have to Pay
Now.
Atlanta, July 16.-An issue has been
sprung here which will probably re-
suit IN all city property in Georgia,
like water and gas works paying
revenue, being taxed by the state.
The tax collector of Randolph coun-
ty appealed to the attorney general to
know whether he should collect taxes
on water works belonging to the city
of Cuthbert. This class of property
has not been taxed heretofore, but re-
ference to the constitution shows that
it only exempts from taxation munich
pal property not paying an income,
and the attorney general will probably
give decision that such property
must be returned hereafter.
