 THE PERSONALITY OF GOD.


 Psychology May Shed Light on an
 old Doctrine.
 When scientists will come to give one half the study to the human soul which they gladly bestow upon beetle or an angle worm, they will find whole realm of facts not unworthy of their investigations. The facts of psychol- ogy are as much facts as those of geo'- ogy; and the phenomena of conscience are as important as those of sensation. Why is it that the Greek tragcdist per sonified nycnging justice as Nemesis? and that Shakespeare represents the s'limed soul" ac struggling to be free? The truth is that in every age and un- der every form of faith the soul recog- nizcs the question of right to be a question of personalities. Moral law is not like physical law, fixed relation of unconscious forces, it is free relation of personal volitions, harmonious or antagonistic. The man who has broken an arm speaks of the incident as mis- fortune. but the man who has com mitted theft knows himself guilty of an "offense." By the hieroGlyphs upon his mummy case we understand that the Egyptian did not expect to meet book of statutes in the next world, but to come face to face with Osiris.
 Thus from first to last the conscicnce of man las been conscious of the per- sonality of moral obligation, that is, of the fact that the sinner was not con- tending with force but opposing q will. This is not q dogma of revelation but truth of psychology. Ii is prac- tically the same under every form of belief. X man who is conscious that he is doing wrong may avoid his near est friend and conceal the fact of his sin from those who meet him hourly, but he can not get away from this in- visible personality with which lie is for ever at war. It will not withdraw its pleading, or down at his command, or hush at his entrcaty. There k. he finds, living entity who is offended, being who tlarcs him, tcrrorizcs him, drives him, it may be. to confession or sui eide. What is the secret of this incrad- icablc consciousness of personality in dealing with moral issues but the in- tuition of moral Ruler who is at once omniscient and omnipresent, that is, divine?
 The language of scripture which rep resents men as fighting against God,' as resisting the Holy Spirit, as gain saying the Almighty" carries conyic- tion with if because in it is. harmony with souls own native modes of thought and feeling. Christian or pagan, the soul has never conceived q moral issue as unrelated to some divine personality. It is therefore as unphilosophical as it is unscriptural to place moral law and natural law in the same category. Righteousness can never be reduced to an abstraction, or definition, or force; if is the expression of a personal will, in and by q personal sovereign who rewards obedience and punishes trnnsgression.- Chicago Interior.

Thc Heart of thc Matter.

When our Lord said, through Nico- deinus, to all sinful men: ''Ye must be born again." He sounded the keynote for all successful effort for the cleya- tion of humanity. Men cannot be made pnre in heurt by hedging them about with restrictions; they cannot be made unscliish and loving and God-fearing by law or by q mere change of environ Incpt. Reform movements that do not have their root in spiritual regeneration can only deal with the outer crust of things. leaving the great problem of life still untouched. IN. Y. Examiner.

WE notice that w. T. Williams, of Decatur, Ala, is the man who has the honor of raising the lar gest hog. The hog is three years old, four and a half feet high, ten feet and two inches long and weighs ,42S pounds. This ought to convince any man, who is skep- tical on the point, that the south ern farmer can compete with any section in hog raising It may not be possible for every south srn hog raiser to raise thousand pouud hog, but he can, without doubt, by taking the proper care and interest III the business, raise porkers that will fully meet the market demand. The pork mar ket offers more encouragement than the cotton market and our farmers ought to give at least a part of their attention to the pork raising industry.

ExxSztlS X. DoueI.As, JR,, ron of the renowred apostle of Dem- ocracy, who has been a Repnbli can all his life, has recently been converted to democracy. In re- ferring to the change, among other reasons, he assigns the fol- lowing; "For years I have been considered by Republicans as doe trinely unsound, because 1 be- lieve that this government should be government of the people, by the people and strictly for the people. Of late years the tenden- cy of the Republican party has been to fasten this government under the control of trusts and monopolies. The tendency of the Democratic party has been to cur tail the flow of money and put the government in the hands of the people. I not only believe this should be so, but l also firm ly believe that the only thing that can prevent this country from be ing wealth ridden on the one hand or mob-ridden on the other is that the government shall be in the hands of the plain people. All my life my sympathies have been with the people (haying been taught this by the two men hon. or above all others, my father and MT. Lincoln,) and to-day 1 be lieve my proper place is in tht Democratic party, and there shall abide" :" Very good, Mir Douglas.
