Mere Sparks,

Nashville Christian Advocate.
The soldier that cannot stand fire
is drummed out of the army, and the
Christian that shows signs of cow
ardice in the face of spiritual fire
must look for sigLs of disapproval in
his Captains face.
Whenever you are tempted to pass
harsh and sweeping Judgment on
any human being, pause long enough
to search your own heart to the
bottom OF Il.
1t is not demanded by the low of
charity that we should confuse moral
distinctions In estimating the con-
duct of our fellow Christians.
The errors and blunders That we
make, and the sins into which we fail,
ought to teach us TO be very gentle
in judging our brothermen.

MR.. DAVIS LAST SPEECH.
Both Patriotism and Prophecy Id HI
Words.


From the Atlanta Journal.
The last public speech made by
Jefferson Davis was to a meeting
near his home at Beauvoir in 1888
He said
"Mr. Chairman and Fellow Citizens:
All, pardon me, the laws of the
United States no longer permit me
to designate you as fellow citizens,
but l am thankful that | may adj
dress you as my friends. feel no
regret that | stand before you this
afternoon a man without a country,
for my ambition lies buried in the
grave of the Confederacy. There
| has been consigned not only my am
| bition, but the dogmas upon which
| that government was based. The
| faces | see before me are those o.
young men; had ] not kno m this
| would not have appeared before you
Men in whose hands the destinies o
our southland lie, for love of her
break my silence, to speak to you 6
few words of respectful admonition
The past is dead; let it bury it's dead
its hopes and it's aspirations; befor
you lies the future-a future fui' o

amazed Let me beseech you to la
aside all rancor, all bitter sections
feeling, and to take your places in tn
ranks of those who will bring abou
a contamination devoutly to b
wished-a reunited country"
There are both patriotism an
prophecy in these noble words. Th
belief that Mr.. Davis was embittere
by defeat and by the sufferings whic
he was made to bear for others ha
no foundation. He urged the poop
/ of the south to lay aside section,

A correspondent OF the Raleigh

porting Vim. j. Bryan for President
they were at the same time support

have voted against anything that
Bryan recommended in behalf of
