hope that they may not intrude this for
eign and repugnant doctrine upon our
Georgia Baptist churches, whose UNI
form practice has always been against
it, and to express the confident beilet
that the potent influence of even these
three gifted and honored brethren VIII
utterly fail to alter the immemorldl ndell-
ty and loyalty of Georgia Baptists to the
landmarks of our sacred faith.
Indeed, we do not believe that any
one of their churches, the First, Second
or Third. under n right understanding OF
the question. could be prevailed upon TO
receive and endorse the dimensions per-
formed by PeClobaptist and Campbellite
Societies. And should they do so, they
would record themselves out OF hd1-
mony with Georgia Baptists, throw open
wide gate for revolution in doctrine
and corruption in practice, and very
much weaken their influence among
their own brethren throughout the State
and their protest against the unscriptural
teachings and practices of other dcnoml-
nations.
"They could do nothing more to Grip
ple our Baptist influence in this great
city. and nothing that would more pro
mote the growth and aggression of the
alien sects about us.
"Baptists thrive in the direct ratio of
their dstinctiveness. Compromise yields
all to the other denominations. If the
others are equally authorized and scrip
tural in constitution and ordinance with
Baptists, they are better than BaptlSls
in competition before the world; for
they. one and all. being Of earth, possess
certain conformitics to the world that
give them the advantage over us in this
competition.
Our only excuse for existence as a
denomination is that we alone are au-
thorized by the New Testament, and that
we alone administer the ordinances scrip
turally Baptists are worse than moth
ing, if we are only one Of the sccts-if
we are not above them all. as being the
only Christian community authorized by
Scripture, and the only one founded on
Bible teaching and practice.
"Only a scriptural church can admin
lister scripturdI ordinances. Hence. to
receive dimensions performed by Meth
odists. for instance, is TO recognize and
endorse Methodist organizations as New
Testament churches"

FASHIONS IN WAR TIME.
the Probable Eject Upon Dress of
the Present Difficulty
with spain.

II we do not eujoy an influx OF
frogged coats military feathers. war
like trimmings, mess jackets, mantil-
Jas, aud ell the rest Of the Hispano-
American suggestions, Il will be sur
prising. Every war that creates world
wide Interest creates also a special run
Of fashions.
In America military buttons are al
ready enjoying a furore. Buttons have
OF late years been used yariously. The
latest idea has been to wear them as
a Ftrnehman does his order, In the but.
tonhole, and in London last year dur
ing the jubilee many enthusiasts thus
decorated themselves, some bearing
likenesses of the queen. others loyal de-
vices.
The buttons worn in the states now
are. whenever possible, the real thing;
but when these are not procurable cop
les are being issued as fast as may be-
often the military buttons worn by the
troops. They are worn set in the tops
OF umbrellas and ~sunshades, as orna-
menis hanging from the chstelaine or
porte-bonheur, as corsage brooches and
ha,pins. Most certainly also the many
picturesque items in the uniforms of
the men will be seized upon by the
modistes and adapted to the needs of
the enthusiastic women.
To take examples from other days,
what a vogue Garibaldi's scarlet shirt
gave to blouses! A Garibaldi was first
a red flannel or cloth jacket or shirt.
Then the color changed, and the shape
remained; then the shape altered, and
still the name remained. Some people
used to call It as II the syllable 'bald'
were the synonym of hairless, others
as If it rhymed with sal" At last,
Garibaldi himself having gone out of
fashion, these shirts were no longer
named after him, and the shirt and
blouse came into fashion.
To go back much further, to the
French revolution, pictures Of the
period disclose a classical leaning in
dress. Every woman thought she
ought to appear as Liberty pe~rsonifed,
and the most curious results followed;
drapsries were woefully scanty, and
fewer women looked like beautiful
statuary than like fanciful and piteous
travesties Of art-gallery treasures
In Napoleon's day the fashions were
most conspicuously warlike. There
were bodices like soldiers TUNES and
skirts trimmed en suite. Even the
colors worn were military.
During the Crimean wal the same ef-
feet was pronounced. Small fur caps
were modish, frogged aud embroidered
jackets were seen, and women often
cut their hair short. There Is sure TO
be a revival Of short, milltaryIookng
crops during the progress Of the war.
The hair may be curled or waved. but
It must have the outline Of the head

livericd driver, and called at the art gal

wanted TO buy n portrait OF Verdi, worth
$500, but the price OF which she did not
ask.
Il will give you s 5000 for the picture"
she said, TO the dealer at whose gallery
the pictures are.
He told her II must remain until the
time for which the bond was given
should expire. She asked for a written
promise that for $1,000 she should have
IL at that time, and she gotit.
In an hour customs officers seized the
whole collection, placed the artist under
arrest, and threatened to take him to
the Tombs. He explained that he had
never thought OF selling a picture until
he was offered 5000 for a 500 painting.
and that he meant TO pay the duty on IL
before it should leave his hands. The
matter is in a state of suspension. The
artist thinks nearly anybody could be

temptation, and he does not think the

HOW ELECTRICITY KILLS.
A Physician Gives Some Advice for
the Heneht OF Those Coming
in Contact with Wires.

The amount of electricity that will
sometimes pass through the human
body without producing fatal results
is surprising and often unaccountabie,
while at other times currents less pow
erful in every way, for some reasons,
are often fatal.
The alternating current Of great am
perage, high voltage and low frequency
is the current that causes the greatest
number Of accidental deaths, as wen as
the current that is used in the state OF
New York for the purpose of executing
criminals. The continuous current, such
as Is used in our incandescent street
lighting, while not harmless when
close-circuited through the body, does
not offer the same degree of danger as
the arc Light, or alternating current.
Still, electricity, like the old woman's
gun, without lock, stock or barrel, is
usually found 10 be dangerous. If so,
what we are to do in case Of accident
is the paramount question. First of all,
keep cool; do not lose your head, and,
with the following rules, do what you
can:
DO not place yourself in the circuit
to help Others out, as thus you only add
one more victim to the result.
Under no consideration catch hold OF
the wire, unless you are positively in
suIated by rubber boots or gloves, or
both. a large, dry silk handkerchief
or dry cloth is the next best thing, and
IL your W coat is perfectly dry, place
that on the ground to step on. Never,
under any circumstances, when you are
removing a person from q live wire
allow his body TO leave the earth; IN
odher words, do not lift him. When the
victim has been released from the wire,
proceed at once to artificial respiration,
being sure that the clothing is well
loosened about the neck and waist,
Personally ! should advise suspendinR
the patients head down for a minute
or two at a time, all the while keeping
up artificial respiration, with the
tongue pulled well out.
