Rev. S. f. Matthews. of the First
Baptist church, delivered an interest
ing sermon in the Welsh Baptist church
last evening from the text. "He that
loveth not, knoweth not God, for God
is love-" John iv:S.
The speaker compared life to the
mechanism of a watch, and said that
as we enter life from childhood we are
dazzled by the grace. beauty and love-
Illness of the wonderful dream, but as
we grow older we seek to find out the
cause for all this. which is hidden.
1t IS only when we trace wheel after
wheel of cause and effect that we de-
teCt the principle that is actuating it.
and as we bring that principle into the
light of scrutiny and examine its mar
velous characteristics, then only do we
recognize it as Love, and know that
the great thought that moves and Gre
ates all things, is Love.
To define love is to define the bright
est principle of intellectual energy that
can be known to creative or created
intelligence. 1t is the matchless secret
of our creation, the whole object and
aim of God in our welfare. Love is an
attachment of the affections to any OBJ
ject accompanied with an ardent de-
sire to promote its happiness.
There are not different kinds of love,
but different degrees of love. The love
of the father, mother. brother. sister,
of true child; love between the sexes,
etc, and it must be evident that all of
these varied forms and expressions of
affection must flow from some source,
some higher foundation than mere Gre
ated intelligence.
God is love in our needs--in that
divine charity of benevolence that
never fails. How often the child of
want knocks at our door. We give the
cold victuals that we need not. and
think we have done a good thing. but
suppose We should take the stranger
In, prepare a warm meal, call him child
or brother, change his garments, wash
his feet, and give him the best couch
to rest on, what would you call that ?
Is it not love of charity? And that is
what God in his mighty love of charity
is doing for us increasingly.

DR M H. L|PSCOMB
 DIED OF PARALYSIS
In the State Penitentiary at Jack son, MiSs-NotoriouS
 PoiSoner.

Meridian, Miss, April 22-(special)-Dr W. H. Lipseomb died in the state peniten- tiary at Jackson last night after short illness resulting from a stroke of paralysis sustained several weeks ago shortly after his incarceration. His remains passed through the city today en route to Scooba, the home of the Lipscombs, where the in- torment will take place tomorrow.
 The death of Lipscomb marks the end of the celebrated Kemper county poisoning case, in which Lipscomb and Guy Jack, the latter one of the most prominent and wealthy merchants of East Mississippi, were the defendants, it being alleged by the state that Lipscomb poisoned Charles T. Stewart to secure 900 insurance on his life, the policies for which were made paya- ble to Jack.
 After several trials of the cases separate ly, Jack was acquitted, and Lipscomb was convicted and sentenced to a life term in the penitentiary. He was inoarcerated sev- eral weeks ago, but shortly afterwards sustained a stroke of paralysis, which caused his death.
 pr. Lipscomb was an ex-confederate sur geon, and had been a prominent man in his profession in this state for a third of a century prior to his connection with the death of Stewart. He was connected with some of the oldest and best families in the state.
