RELIGIOUS EDITORIALS FOR

: The Greeks desired to be ever hear
ing some new thing, was the Apostle
Paul's report of his study at Athens.
The moderns are equally curious and
inquisitive. No people approaching
civilization can surpass the Americans
in a love of novelty and in receptivity
of mind. They are for the most part
ready to receive any philosophic fad
or folly, and as for religion they take
to the mystical, the improbable, the
impossible, the fanatica1, the redicu-
lousy absurd as readily, as greedily
as the puppy does to milk. 1t can not
be said that the south, where illiteracy
more abOunds, is so much given to
such excuses and follies as New Eng
land far better educated. The "isms''
of our cOntInenI are for the most part
the product of that rich, progressive
section, or the descendants Of it's peo-
pie who have emigrated to other states.
So patent is the fact that the Living
Church, an able Protestant Episcopal
weekly of Chicago, lately said this:
"The American people, especially of
the Boston type and cult, seem to be
very much like the old Greeks. + y
Always eager to try some new scheme
of progress or reform, and each of
these in it's turn needs to be reformed
out of sight, a. a rule, so that the old
Gospel may come back to do the work
it was sent into the world to do, viz,
to a " society by saving the souls and
uplifting the characters of which soci-
ETY. is composed. There is always
something new, if not something good,
coming out of the New England Naza-
cialism,' so called. To be sure, Chris
tian socialism, in the old sense, is as
old as Christianity, but that kind is too
tame n un~pretentiOus for these
times, though it did impress the world
in it's day. The queer thing about it is
that the Church failed to perceive what
the modern apostles of socialism have
discovered, that the whole Gospel lies
in this cult"
These latter day So1omons and yea
lots have discovered hat st. Paul was
no theologian and the Christian church
has been all along benighted. It is
simply impossible to have any respect
or tolerance for such madness, stupid
ity and presumption. Let it not be
supposed that the Church is losing
IL
Christ has promised to be with his
people always, eve present, and that
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against His church.

FIERCE BATTLING

dences Of splendid personal bravery OF
n American officers n men in their
work Of continuous and intense phys
ical strain, owing to the hills and
swamps and the fierce tropical sun
which hammered upon them the
greater part Of the day.
The Cubans behaved with skill and
valor and rendered valuable aid. Cen
eral Garcia and the other Cuban gen.
erals led the troops in person and
showed great GOODNESS in tight places.
SPANISH FOUGHT STUBBORNLY.
The Spanish fought stubbornly
throughout and their retreat, though
steady, was slowly and coolly con
Quoted. They contested every inch Of
the way and fought with unexpected
skill, their officers handling the troops
with bravery and good judgment. AS
in all of their fighting SO far, how
ever, they did most of their work
under cover, rarely showing them
selves in large bodies in the open. All
the retreats were toward Santiago
and it is probable that by nightfall the
entire force of Spaniards in the prov
ince Of Santiago de Cuba will be with
in the city's walls with the exception
of 1000 men under General Pando.
whose attempt to reinforce Santiago
is believed to have been frustrated.
General Lawton's division opened
the ball with a 13-pound shot, quick
ly followed by others, the infantry
opening Immediately afterward. At
$40 a. m. General Garcia advanced
rapidly through the brush in the val
ley with no opposition, and General
Lawton advanced along the north
slope, the infantry and artillery firing
heavily. Captain Grimes guns had
just galloped to the plateau in grand
style and opened fire. The telegraph
line, La Brunette experimenting, kept
up with the advance in fine style.
The observation balloon was infiat-
ed yesterday for the first time and
made three successful experimental
a~scents, the car holding six men.
THE SECOND DAY OF THE BAT
TIE.

Headquarters in the Field, Outside
Santiago de Cuba, July 2, via Guam
tanamO.-The American army drove
the S~paniards ack at every point in
an all day engagement yesterday. Ca
ney will be taken with 1000 prisoners.
1t is now surrounded. Our loss is
probably close to 1000. The total pro-
portion of killed is very large, about
% per cent. One part Of the line of
the American forces slept on captur-
ed ground and will renew the fight at
sunrise. A hot day is expected.
The Sixth cavalry captured the first
Spanish flag.
Captain Parkhurst's battery last
night commanded the east side of San
tiago from a hill. The eastern line Of
defence is practically wrecked.
The fighting yesterday was steady
though the Americans were embar-
raised by the heavy brush. The Span
iards made a brave spasmodic resist
ance. Much Of the Spanish firing was
by vOlley, while ours was mostly at
will, each bullet aimed at a special
target. It is impossible to estimate
the Spanish loss.

Solomon wrote of the vanity of HUI
man life. His gifted father, King
David, a great soldier and a great poet,
sang of the vanity of this earthly, I'M
satisfying, vain, empty life. In the
39th Psalm he INDUCES in a saddened,
painful and yet proper reflection and
godly meditation. In fact he is led by
dwelling upon the earthly, uncertain,
~transitory life into the language of de-
vout and sincere prayer. He says at
the beginning: Il will take heed to
my ways hat l sin not with my
tongue" There is great trouble in the
tongue. It is so easy to offend, to sin
with the tongue, 'the unruly member
When suffering under severe provo
cation it is so extremely easy to offend
liable words. Look at the patient,
submissive, faithful Job and hear him
indulging in unbecoming, wen rash
and impulsive murmurs. The adora-
BILE and blessed Son of God knew the
safety and wisdom of silence, and when
to break it. We learn that when he
was accused of the chief priests and
elders, he answered nothing" David
reflected in silence and "held his
peace" He said his sorrow was
stirred" In fourth and fifth verses 1t
is recorded: my heart was hot with
in me, while I was musing the fire
burned: then spake I with my tongue
Reflection and silence led him to con-
slider God in His infinite glory and do
minion and power, and he hen sought
Him in prayer: Lord, make me to
know mine end, and the measure OF
nv a what it is: that 1 may know
how frail I am" The vanity and i'm,
perfection. the shortness and uncer
tainty OF human life impressed him
and then the gifted and inspired sing
er broke out in the ardor OF hlgf
thinking and the fervor of adoratlol
and devotion: Lord make me know
mine end" These are fit words TO,
every child Of Adam, and more espe
cially become those who are nearing

ing and casting long shadows. 1t fits
the aged peculiarly to mediate upon
the rapidly, passing away forever of
this little life, and upon the certainty
and nearness of death, and upon the
destiny beyond the perishing world.
Meditation and prayer are great helps.
They bring peace and hope to many a
weary, troubled, sorrowing soul.
When you are malinged and misunder-
stood, afflicted and prosecuted, it is
best to be silent, looking to God to
make it all plain and to right it in His
own wise way and good time. David
watched "the fire that burned within
him" and was careful that it should
not break forth into words of consum-
ming wrath, into expressions Of unseen
Iy severity, into raging discomfort, Or
into declarations Of naughty defiance.
He unused and considered until his
heart became soft and tender and wor-
shipful, and then he spake in words
Of holy prayer-'LOrd, make me to
know mine end and the measure of my
days, that [ may know how frail 1
am" There was much wisdom in
that. The fire of Gods compassion
and love was kindled in David's heart,
and then he was subdued, the fire
burned low, the soul was lifted up in
blessed communion with the Holy One
and was comforted. It is a good

ness of his days and how frail he is"
Gods spirit came to David and taught
him, Gained him, blessed him. He
continued his meditative mood and
praying still said: Behold, thou
hast made my days as an hand
breadth" How f1eeting how short is
life-a hand breadth as compared with
the everlasting days, the eternity be-
yOnd. To know that we are mortal,
that we were born to die, that we live
in a vain state, M time is f1eeting
with dreadful swiftness-this is en-
ough to make sober, wise, prudent men
reflect long and often. David still
praying says: Verify, every man at
his best state is altogether vanity"
The absolute nOthingness of man
mere dust in the balance-liable to be
swept away any moment, in a flash,
should make him pause and consider
and ask himself?-"Am | a fool? Width
er am l tending" 1t is better a thou
sand times lever to have been born
than to SO live this vain, empty life
SO as to lose heaven at last. Surely
every man walketh in a vain show"
There is no exception. Poor weak,
idle, thoughtless, needless, vain man,
che heapeth up riches, and knoweth
not who shall gather them" (verse g.
How stupid, how blind, how infatuated
it is to heap up riches here, that may
take wings and fly away, and neglect
to lay up treasures in heaven. And yet
that is precisely what the wicked world
is doing daily-living for self, for
sense, for time, and forgetting heaven
and God and eternal life. David then
turns to the true source of all help and
all deliverance and all joy and says:
And now, Lord, what wait l for? My
hope is in Thee" Have we that hope,
sure and steadfast? If not let us be
wise and seek until we find. He is in
deed a happy, blest man who can say
from the soul with David-"Lord, my
hope is in Thee"

1t is far too early to try to cast the
political horoscope in North Carolina.
Two months hence the men at the
front will know more of the real out
look. Cheering reports come from
many counties that the democracy are
getting into fighting trim and white
men are very, very sick of the situa-
ton and of negro rule and government
by incapables. The only hope, as we
see it now, in redeeming North Caro-
lima in 1898, is by a determined, Wig
orous fight based upon a thorough Or
ganization in all the counties. Ever
since 1875, we have been urging the
one sure way to victory was by syste-
matte, intelligent, Industrious, most
complete township organization.
Strange to say, since the war no demo-
cratic chairman of the state committee
has ever appreciated the necessity of
such organization, or made a serious
attempt to affect 1t. Butler and his
crowd understood this and made a
house to house canvass with great re-
suits to them.
