Sound Advice to Sermon MakorB.
(From tho HOmiletic Review.)

(ErOm tho flOmllctlC hc'leW.)
Rousseau's advice for tho compo-
sition of love letter no preacher
should follow in tho composition of
his sermon: "Begin without know
ing what you arc going to say, and
end without knowing what you have
said" I'll" sermon which is made
after tho Rousseau pattern will merit
nothing better than Cleopntra's snoer,
"Ie words mo, girls, ho words mo-"
No ono is moro certain to be i'm

hindrance to thought, though the
necessary instrument of it," as Hor'

a PROCLAMATION.

The approaching November brings
to mind the custom of our ancestors,
hallowed by time and rooted in our
..net eacrad traditions nf s>0ivino
thanks to Almighty God for all the
blessings he has vouchsafed to us
during the past year.
Few years in our history have af
forded such cause for thanksgiving.
We have been blessed by abundant
harvests, our trade and commerce
have beon wonderfully increased,
our public credit has been improved
and strengthened, and all sections of
our common country have been
brought together and knitted into
closer bonds of national purpose and
unity.
The skies have been for time
dnrkened by tho cloud of war, but as
were compelled to take mp the sword
in the c use of humanity, we are
permitted to rejoice that the con-
hict has been Of brief duration and
the losses we have had to mourn,
though grievous and important, have
been so few, considering the great
results accomplished, as to inspire us
with gratitude and praise to the
Lord Of Hosts. We may land and
magnify His holy name that tho
cessation of hostilities came so soon
as to spare both sides the countless
sorrows and disasters that attenc
protracted war.
I do therefore invite all my fellow
citizens, as we'll those at homo q
those who may be at sea or sojonrnln|
in foreign lands to set apart and Oh
serve Thursday, tho 9th day @
, November, az a day Of natlont
Thanksgiving to como together l
. their several places of worship for
o service Of praise and thanks of "A
q mighty God for all tho blessings
= tho year; for tho mildness of tt
seasons and tho fruitfulness of tt
soil, for tho continued prosperity

valor of our countrymen, for u

HEBREWS IN THE WAR.
Moro than Four Thousand Volunteered to
Fight spain.

(From the Washington Times.)
The records Of the war department
show that. there were more than 4, 900
Hebrews in the American armies
during the war with Spain.
Capt. A. w. Murray, who has been
at the department looking up the
statistics on this subject, stated that
a careful perusal of the muster rolls
of the army is sufficient refutatiop of
the assertions mado by certain nniu-.
formed and prejudiced persons that
the jewish people were not patriotic
Americans.
"When war was declared" he said
"the Jewish press throughout the
country reminded their people of the
wanton persecution of the Hebrews
by Spain, covering many years
They had bo"n driven from their
country and deprived Of their prop,
erty by the cruel, unjust Spaniards.
These papers urged revenge as we'll
as a full and earnest support of their
adopted country.
"But the young Hebrew men did
not require urging. Their love for
America alone was enough and they
tlocked to the standard of liberty
the Stars and Stripes. That they
fought we'll is matter Of history

\
A voice from the ladies of ward
8. to the christians and good peo-
pie OF our ward asking their as
sistance and vote against the scald-
ing subjugation. The Philistines
are trying to put the yoke of whis-
key and ruin in our midst.
learn first from this subject how
dangerous it is for the Church of
God to let the weapons of the Sa-
tanic one get in their midst.
He that formed the eye, can he
not see ; he that planted the ear,
can he not hear. We ask and beg
all the Christians and good people
to help us vote whiskey out, as
job suggested, the Rock of the
field shall be in league with the
truth, and the stars in their march
shall fight against whiskey.
Oh Church Of God, 90 out and
take possession of the Platform,
speak out for Christ the Lord OF
truth-if one half of the Chris
tian energy could be brought out
it might take the Whiskey Philes-
tines by the throat and make them
bite the dust. We have had enough
retreat in the church, let us have
a solid advance. All parents that
have children to raise, it behooves
them to look well before they cast
their vote, for they will be held
responsible by our Lord and Savior
for the example we set before them.
Again my subject teaches us on
what snall allowance the Philis-
tine whiskey puts a man, it is
robbery, ii dispoils his mind and
faculties; was the man eloquent, it
thickens his tongue; was be fine in
personal appearance, it mars his
ylsage; was ne attiuent, II Sends
the Sheriff to sell him out; was ne
genial and loving, it makes him
splenetic and cross. That once
hale man ii now a living Demiiohn.
The way OF the transgressor is
hard, his cup is bitter, his night is
dark, bis pangs are deep, his end
is terrific.

and the dashing down of the de-

Hryan's Warning.

"Where the gold Democrats are
numerically strong they will insist
upon ignoring the Chicago plat
form, but where they are numeri-
cally weak, they will profess to
accept the platform but will oppose
every plan that is calculated to
bring success to the platform. y
w. J. Bryan.
That the above warning given
by Mr.. Bryan a few weeks ago
was wise and timely, recent events
have amply proven We have all
seen that in every State where the
gold Democrats and the Mckinley
Democrats and monopolists were
numerically strong, that is; where
they composed a majority of the
Democratic party, they have
squarely refused to endorse Bryan
and the Chicago platform. But
where this class of Hanna agents
in disguise have been numerically
weak. that is: composing less than
a majority of the Democratic par
ty, they have pretended to be for
Bryan and the Chicago platform,
but have done just as Mr.. Bryan
said they would do, oppose and
defeat every plan that wonld unite
the masses of the people and win q
victory over gold and monopoly.
The action Of the Democratic
State Convention In Raleigh last
week is one of the latest and most
striking cases in point. A large
majority of the rank and file OF
the Democratic party is honestly
for Mr.. Bryan and honestly in ia
vor of his plan OF cooperation.
1t is safe tp say that more than
three-fourtlls of the voters of
the Democratic party are in
in favor Of cooperation with the

The Beauty or 81 Democrat.

Many of the Democratic paper
which declared the constitutional
convention had "gone to help du
ring its session and at its close
are now trying to smooth up mat
tiers a little with the bosses by
finding some stray good thing
which said convention did.
Commenting ON their inconsis

ever have a chance to prove that
most of the individual Democrats
make no better record for consis.

We have.
In our usual business around
town we have heard representative
Democrats voluntarily 'cussing'
the Constitutional convention for
interfering with and obstructing al
most every good enterprise in
which Natchitoches is interested
railroad development, waterworks,
manufactures, etc.
We turned to them and asked
them if they honestly thought that
convention and its work thorough
ly bad. Oh yes, they were quite
sure of it. Didn't think there
could be any doubt about that.
'But," we persisted, "don't you
intend voting for one of these men

'infooenshal' citizen from your
