The following article by Tx Gov.
Robert l.. Taylor, of Tennessee, is one
of the most remarkable productions
of his gifted pen:
81 sat in u great theatre at the ma
tional capital. 1t was thronged with
youth and beauty, old age and wis

God, stand upon the stage, and |
heard him speak.
"His gestures were perfection of
grace, his voice was music, and his
language was more beautiful than
any had ever heard from mortal
lips.
ale painted picture after picture
of the pleasures and joys and sym
pathIes of home. He enthroned love
and preached the gospel Of humani-
ty like an angel. Then | saw him
dip his brush in the ink of moral
blackness and blot out the beautiful
pictures he painted. ! saw him stab
love dead at his feet; saw him blot
out the stars and sun, aud leave hu
manity aud the universe iu eternal
darkness and eternal death.
81 saw him, like the serpent Of old.
worm himself into the paradise Of
human hearts and by his seductive
eloquence and subtle devises and
sophistry inject his fatal venom. uu
der " hose blight its powers faded
its music was hushed, its sunshine
was dark7ned. and its soul was left "a
desert waste, with only the new made
graves of faith and hope.
81 saw him. like lawless, erratic
meteor without an orbit, sweep across
the intellectual sky. brilliant only in
its self-consuming fire generated bv
friction with the indestructible ar d
eternal truths of God.

modern intidehty. and / said How

The fool hath SAID in his heart.
There is no Cod
Tell me not. O inidel, there is no
God, no heaven, no hell. Tell me
not. 0 infdel, there is no risen Christ.
"What intelligence less than Gods
could fashion the human BODY :
What motive power is it, if not God,
that derives the throbbing engine of
the human heart with ceaseless, tire
less stroke, sending the crimson
stream of life bounding and circline
through every vein and artery?
whence and what, if not of God,
Is this mystery we call mind? What
is 1t that thinks and feels and knows
and acts: Q, who can deny the di-
vinity that stirs within us?
God is everywhere and IN every
thing. His mystery is in every bud
and blossom and leaf and tree: in
every rock and vale and hill and
mountain; in every spring and rivu-
let and river. The rustic of his wing
Is in every zephyr; its might is in ev-
