Though They Sing Psalms They Are Not
Associate Reformed Presbyterians.
The Columbia State, which by the
way is a much better authority on
high license than on religious princi-
Piles, recently referred to the Beers as
the "Associate Refor ned Presbyterians
of South Africa" The Charlotte OBJ
server took the matter up and remark
ed that Rev. J. C. Galloway would
not endorse such comparison. 1t
seems that The Observer was right.
In its issue of Wednesday it has the
following from Mr.. Galloway:
You are emiuently correct in think
ing that l would object to the Colum'
bia States calling the Beers the "Asso
ciate Reformed Presbyterians of South
Africa" The fact that the Beers are
Psalm. singers no more puts them IN
the same class with Associate Reform.
ed Presbyterians than does the fact
that every man who has two hands
and two eyes is in the same class with
every other man who has two hands
and eyes. The Beers are ignorant, {,
and the Associate Reformed Presbyte-
rians are not. No denomination in
America, in proportion to their mum
bers and means, have done more and
given more to liberal education than
the Associate Reformed Presbyterians.
They established the first denomlna'
tional college in South Carolina largely
to counteract the tendencies OF the
South Carolina college under the IN
huence of President Cooper, and that,
too, at time when they numbered
but one or TWO thousand. The Beers
are 200 years behind the aye in which
they live; but that cannot be said of
the Associate Reformed Presbyterians.
Unlike the Beers, they believe in Civ
ing to every man the largest liberty
and freedom that he is capable of exer
cisiug, and, therefore, they hope that
England will give to the half million
Kaffir serfs of the Trausvaal and the
Orange Free State their liberty, and
that she will see to it that one Dutch.
man does not have his own rights aud
liberties and also the rights and liber-
lies of 10 Kaffirs and two Euglishmen
besides.
But there is this to be said-the ma
ton that is brought up on the Bible
and the Shorter Catechism and the
Psalms will be a wonderfully strong
and virile people. The Roman Cath
olics found this to be true in the case
of the Covenanters, aud the English
have found it 50 in their clash with the
Beers.
l count it calamity to our Chris
liunity that the Psalms, Goods songs
of the ages" have been so widely sup
planted by human rhymes and diltieS,
much of it insipid and not little of 1t
false. Is not the habbiness and nanny
pamby character of much of the So
called religion Of the day due TO the
fact that our boys and girls are fed on
religious chalk water? The result is,
when they are grown they have "a
cotton string for back bone"

JOE JEFFERSON NAP.-A good
story is told of an experience of Joseph
Jefferson, the great actor. "A number
of years ago he played one night
engagement in a small Indiana town,
appearing in his favorite part of Rip
Van Wrinkle. In the hotel at which
he stopped was an Irishman "recently
landed" who acted as porter and gen
eral assistant. Judged by the deep
and serious interest which he took III
the house, he might have been clerk,
lessee and proprietor rolled into one.
At about 6 o'clock in the morning
Mr.. jefferson was startled by violent
humping on his door. When he strug:
gled into consciousness and realized
that he had left no "call" order at the
office he was naturally very indignant.
But his sleep was spoiled for that
morning, so he arose and soon after
appeared before the clerk.
"See here" he demanded of that
individual, "why was I called at this
unearthly hour?"
II don't know, sir" answered the
clerk, "I'll ask Mike"
The Irishman was summoned. Said
the clerk:
"Mike, there was no call for Mr..
jefferson. Why did you disturb him p
Taking the clerk by the lapel of the
coat the Hiberniau led him to one
side and said, in mysterious whisper
"He was snoring loike horse, sor,
and ORD heerd the by's saying as how
he were onct afther shaping for twin
ty years, so Oh says to meself, ses Oi,
'Moike, its cooming onto him again,
and its yer juty to git the crayther out

TIMELY NOTE OF WARNINGS!

TIME following is Il copy of circular
l. letter which is being sent ont by one
Of the largest mercantile establishments
of The great northwest to their customers
throughout the country on the Importance
of keeping insured against loss by fire ::
DEAR SIR: During the past few months
the losses sustained iy merchants,
through fires, in that part of the co' ntry
tributary to the St. Louis market, have
been so unusually large and disastrous as
to suggest to us the adriStbility OF adj
dressing our customers upon the M
PORTANCE of keeping fully insured
at ALL TIMES. Within the past few
weeks four of our own customers have
lost their stocks and buildings entire,
without insurance. or so nearly so, that
the amount carried was total y mad
eqiiate to the risk assumed, and in two
or three instances, WHEN the fire came, II
was found that policies for considerable
amounts had just lapsed. Men rarely
make a SECOND mistake uf this Kind, Dit
the c0mmonest feature of the FIRST, is
the wiping out of the results of years of
labor and thrift and leaving those who
commit the folly of FAILING TO INSURE,
in position whereby they have to face
the world in a condition far worse than
when commercial life was first begun.
Think of the possibilities of having the
fruits of 20 years of labor swept away
within a few minutes, with no olher lega-
cy than smoke and asht and vain regrets
for " hat might have been prevented by
little foresight! To the wide awake,
conservative business man, The expense
incident to keeping his go"ds fully ilisur'
cd is just as legitimate and necessary. as
that of paying taxes, rent and clerk hire.
We may escape the consequences OF fail
ure to insure for FIVE, TEN or TWENTY
years, but we are just rs certain to he
brought face to face with it, sooner OF
later, as we stay in business; therefore
we say to you, if you are not now in
surpd, attend to it before the sun
goes down
| With kindly assurances of regard fol
our mutual interests, we are,
| Very sincerely, your friends,

Patriotic Soldier Testifies About Philippine

At the ninety. fourth annual dinner
of the New England society in New
York, on the night of the 22d instant,
speeches were made by different prom,

were "Our Reunited Country" by
Professor G. w. McCabe, Of Richmond,

the most touching speeches of the oc'

speaker read letter that he had re-
