lac OF quotations, e. g., 1t is
written, the scripture saith, show
how marked was the difference
between these and other writings.
All the books of the canon are
quoted in the New Testament but
Ezra Nehemiah, the minor pro-
phets Obadiah, Nahum and Ze-
phainab and from the 'Saored
Writings the books, The Song
of Songs, Eeclesiastes and Es-
ther. But these omissions do
not occasion wonder when we re-
call the attitude of Jesus and the
Apostles. They quoted for prac-
teal purposes arising out of the
circumstances and references TO
these books were not required to
meet the demands of the hour.
But, these books may be consids
cred as chapters in the canon
other parts or which are quoted.
The early period of the forma-
ton of the Old Testament canon
may moi be widely traced. We
do not know all the minutie Of
its history, but the testimony of
the ancients afford us sufficient
grounds for the belief that the
canon of our day had been rec
ognized in the third century be-
fore Christ. The Jews have al
ways been careful Of their sacred
books, and this trait of Jewish
character has served as a safe
guard to the divine record. "God
moves in a mysterious way His
wonders to perform and no
more signally than in shaping
the destiny of his revealed will
have the words of Cowper been
verified. We must now deal with
the other Testament.

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMA.
TfON.

"a national custom dear to the
hearts of the people calls for the
setting apart of one day in each
year as an occasion of special
thanksgiving to Almighty God
for the blessings OF the preceding
year. This honored observance
acquires with time tender sig-
nilicance 1t enriches the domes-
tic life. 1t summons under the
family roof the absent children
to glad reunion with those they
love.
"Seldom has this nation had
greater cause for profound
thanksgiving. No great pesti-
lence has invaded our shores.
Liberal employment waits upon
labor. Abundant crops have re-
warded the efforts OF the husband :
man. Increased comfort has
come to the home. The national
finance has been strengthened
and public credit has been sus-
tanned and made firmer. In all
branches of industry and trade
there has been an unequal degree
of prosperity, while there has
been steady gain in the moral
and educational growth in our
national character.
'Churches and schools have
flourished. American patriotism
has been exalted. Those engaged
in maintaining the honor of the
flag with such signal success
have been in a large degree
spared from disaster and disease.
An honorable peace has been
ratified with foreign nation with
which we were at war, and we
are now on friendly terms with
every power on earth.
1.-THE trust which we have as
sumed for the benefit of the peo-
pie Of Cuba has been faithfully
advanced. There is marked
progress toward the restoration
of healthy Industrial conditions,
and under wise sanitary regula :
tions the island has enjoyed un :
usual exemption from the scourge
of fever. The hurricane which
swept over our new possession OF
Porto Rico, destroying the homes
and property of the inhabitants.
called forth the instant sympathy
of the people of the United States
who were swift to respond with
generous aid to the sufferers.
While the insurrection still con-
tinues in the island of Luzon,
business is resuming it's activity
and confidence in the good pur-
| poses of the United States is be-
| ing rapidly established through
out the Archipelago.
"F'or these reasons and count
less others, /, William Mckinley
President of the United States,
do hereby name Thursday, the
thirtieth day of November next
as day of general thanksgiving
and prayer to be observed as
such by all our people on thi:
continent and in our newly ac.
| quired islands, as we'll as by
those who may be at sea or so.

New Orleans, Ost. 30, 1899.
Editor Gazette; Permit me to
thank you ia the name OF the
good cause Of law and order for
the prompt and manly stand your
paper has taken against the bar.
barous lynchings which are fol-
lowing each other 10 our southern
country in such rapid succession
| actually wonder sometimes
whether our people in some To-
calities are not drifting back from
the standard OF civilization which
they had reached.
No man can appreciate with a
greater horror than | do the
atrocity of the crime committed,
nor advocate stronger that swift
punishment be visited upon the
criminal, whenever that criminal
is proven to be the man who COM
mitted the deed, and | appreciate
that there are occasions when the
crime is SO diabolical that the
whole people rise up and where
the criminal is found. beyond a
doubt, they demand that he be
executed. When this is done
by whole community in quiet
sternness and through the meth
ods prescribed by the law, the
effect is sometimes ave. inspiring
and acts as a deterrent influence
on commission of crime for years
afterward. But when the people
lose their heads and under the
leadership OF violent men become
wild mob, how often with
out sufficient evidence TO identity
the criminal, resort to slow saw
age torture as process of exc
cution. the effect seems to be
lost, the worst passions are
aroused, similar diabolica' crimes
are committed before the previ-
GUS ones are forgotten and the ex
ecutioners and witnesses are
brutalized and nearly always
commit further excesses. See
my article in the Tines Demo-
cratic of October 20.
Crimes like the horrible one in
Leake county, and the many
criminal assaults upon our wom-
en- must be stopped at all hazards
but ! feel assured that punish
ment swiftly administered by a
quickly convened court under
the strong arm Of the law, or oc-
casionally as above, will do more
toward stopping the CRIME than
any resort to torture, and our
people will be the better therefor.
The country press. all through
the rural districts, must take the
matter up. The sheriffs and Of
ficers of the courts, must do their
part and it is difficult and often a
dangerous one. The pulpit must
speak in no uncertain tones in its
condemnation OF the growing
practice, 1t is not doing It's duty
when it is silent. A prominent
newspaper man told me a few
days nee, that the reason
lynching was so prevalent was
because all the brave men had
been killed during the war, and
there were no more men brave
enough to be sheriffs. This |
Indignantly denied, but as mat
ter of fact our officers must make
up their minds to make bold
stand IN the matter and our law
yers must notdelay the execution
of the law.
Pardon this'lengthy discussion.
