proval or disapproval of the preach
er's sentiments. This, however, has
been suppressed by act of Parliament.
A false notion of sanctity has minim-
lied the usefulness of these buildings,
and the efforts of the clergy The on
ly resemblance to the past is in the
matter of Sunday schools, and even
these are being confined to secular
places when possible. In the mean
time, the churches are either gradual
ly becoming defunct, or are reverting
to Catholicism.
Why then should we not initiate the
practical wisdom of our forefathers,
and throw them open freely and gra-
tuitiously to the wants of the people?
What more suitable places could be
selected for lectures and concerts of
sacred music and Christian gatherings
and every sort of innocent recreation,
than those houses which have been
consecrated to the services of God?
The early Christians Toasted and held
their ''free-and-easies" in their meet
ing houses; why should we be more
squeamish than they? Do we serve
our Maker better by giving Him lip
service and chanting meaningless
hymns, or by purifying our minds of
ignorance and expanding our souls by
a better kwnoledge of His works? Let
those who are authority be wise in
time and arouse themselves to under
stand wherein their. true strength lies.
Let them realize the dangers that be-
set our youth and their need of rescue
from the numerous forces of evil. In
every district will he fOund educated
and intelligent laymen and women
whose talents lie buried, but who will
gladly cooperate in any possible man
ner with the clergy in promoting the
education and moral Improvement of
those around them. And in what a
number of ways might this be done
if they would only divest their minds
of false sentiments and resolutely or
ganize all the forces of good to over
come the evil.

Montgomery, Ala, June 9, 1s97 .- .To- the Editor of the State Herald.
 My criticisms ofthe action of the Board of Compromise'' in the Randolph matter seems 10 have given you great concern, am glad you are discussing it; for the more discussion th=re Is, the plainer 1t will appear that my criticisms are just.
 .I, criticised the board for settling a large debt due the State, after hearing none butt parties interested adversely to ahe State, and for the failure to give the o1. sials who knew bets of the StaAes side of the matter an oppo1kunity to testify, either for the Sta.e or for themselves, at- though the very petition on which the board adIed alleged gross negligence on the part of those officials as one or tne main rs,asons for relief, and further, TOT u,acing the award on grounds. which, m effect, adopted the allegations OF the De ; thtion and condemned those absent OH s. cials whom the board did not near anu seemed to have no dispost. ion to near.
 cha fa terized this action of the board as not only unjust .o the State and the officials concern:d, but also as viola'ive of the ordinary rules of courtesy, Wnlcn heretofore obtained in Alabama, When State officials had occasion to pass upon the administrative ae.s of their preae- eessors. !. These criticsms, the correctness or < which seem patent on the face Of the award and the proceedings of the board, you do nclt discuss. You attempt 10 evaia their force in 1abored editorials, ny imputing bad memory to me, and thus establishing, to your satisfaction, that having been mistaken as to dates, Nnere Is no foundation for my insis,ance 1T the board had not acted exparte it would have been spared the mistake of putting a- compromise, not otherwise obJectlon- able, on the ground of equity, which, in 2sfaet, had no semblance of existence: This like the other criticisms, is susceptible or ,- 1he olearest proof and it will be feaian- coming. u=I send you herein some correspondents '. which gives Tight" on the question or Dad memory" and when and what the -l ssureties knew of the shortage. .e@' --r Having pressing engagements in 'the courts here, which cant be laid aside for the present. can not just now pay fur f,.sher attention to 'llfat matter; and must decline a controversy with the board or compromise through you as next friend, as I propose at a convenient time to ad-l dress what have to say on the subject direct to the board.
