MIR. J. A. Froude on Ca1vinism.

Calvnists have been called intolerant Intolerance
OF an enemy who has been trying to kill you seems
to pardonable of mind. 1t is no easy mat
ter to tolerate lies clearly convicted of being lies
under any circumstances specially it is easy TO
tolerate lies which strut about in the name of religion
but there is to suppose that the Cavnists
at the beginning would have thought of meddling
with the church they had been themselves let alone
The Catholics chose to add to their already incredible
creed fresh article that they entitled hang
and burn those who differed from Them and in this
quarrel the Calvinsts Bible in hand appealed to the
God of Battles. They grew harsher fercer-if you
please, more fanatical. 1t was extremely natural
that they should. But they attracted to their ranks
almost every man in Western Europe that hated a
lie" They were crushed down, but they rose again
They were splntered and torn but no power could
bend or melt them. They had many faults; let him
that is without sin cast stone at them They alb
horred as no body of men ever more abhorred all
conscious mendacty, all impurty all moral wrong
of every kind, so far they could recognize it.
Whatever exists at this moment in England and
Scotland of conscientious fear of doing evil is the
remnant of the convictions which we're branded by
the Calvinsts into the peoples hearts.

Family History.

writer in the Christian ADVOCATE, the Rev. A. E.
Wnshp, Lit. D., gives some account OF the family
of Jonathan Edwards, offset to the famous
story of the Jules, written up few years ago by one
of our leading sociologists. At that time it was
shown that this family of degenerates had in about
10 years cost the community amid which they lived
$1,25o,ooo criminals and paupers. OF the descen-
dans of this family $40 had spent their days in
almshouses or like refugees; 40 had wrecked their
health by their vices, 90 we're professional thieves
and so known prostitutes Only 20 had ever learned
trade and of these acquired their handcraft in
prisons. Now Dr. Winship shows how in about the
same number of years the family Of Jonathan Ed
wards had sent out 285 college graduates, of which
65 became college professors and 10 presidents of
colleges, among these latter Yale, Princeton and
other institutions of high rank being included
Among the descendants of Edwards we find more
than 100 lawyers and 80 judges. About one-fourth
of the criminal family died in infancy while of the
Edwards family of II children none died in child
hood, only remained unmarried, and four were
past three-score and ten when called away. Not

The Shorter Catechism.

1t is small book of one hundred and four ques-
tons, with answers which should be committed to
memory. AS specimen of pure English language,
there is no better to be found anywhere AS a
logical system of doctrine it could not be improved.
AS list of theological definitions, it is regarded as
one of the most perfect that has ever been formed
Whatever changes any one has suggested for the
Confession of Faith, thinks of revising the
Shorter Catechism. If hands are raised against the
Confession strikes at the catechsm 1t stands
unchalenged before the world, as one of the most
wonderful compositions of man. 1t stands compare
with any other catechsm that has ever been pro-
duced and eXcels any of them
With such record this the time has not come
for laying it aside but for increased attention to its
Importance. The closing years of this century have
witnessed great revival of interest in its study.
The offer of a beautiful Bible to every child and
young person committing to memory and reciting
perfectly these has aroused such interest that
many thousands of Bibles have been distributed under
these conditions. This generous offer still continues
and the last months of the century should witness
still more energetic efforts than ever in this direction
Then when the new century dawns, let there be in
creased zeal in the prosecution of this special part of
church work-The Presbyterian

Thoughtfu1ness in Prayer.

But prayers require definite desire. Bending the
knee at certain hours, and rectng excellent petitions
is not prayer Prayer is the communion of the spirit
who is man with the Spirit who is God. There wifi
be requests and answers, but requests must be made
carefully and revereny and the answers received in
humility and than<fulness We pray in the midst
OF our work, but then we can think before we
ask. We cry for help in a sudden emergency but
then we know well what it is we want When we
have time to think to set desires in order pre-
pare the mind for intercourse with God we should
not be less clear in petitions less careful to speak
truly, than when unexpected peril opens our lips
and engages voice. Sincerity is a constant re-
quisite
If we have little time to spend within the closed
doors of the closet, it will be wise to take portion
of this for the preparation of our thought and end
The rest needs few sentences 1t is not much speak
ing but true speaking which confesses the heart and
rises with acceptance. Here is the secret of conf
dence
1t is not making unreasonable demand to insist
upon real, clear thinking in the religious life Our
best powers can find worthier employment than
when they engaged with the affairs of the soul
with its character its relation to other souls its duty
before God, and all that belongs to discpleshp We
do not put the shoes from our feet but we should
put away not irreverence merely but formaty and
thoughtess manner, without care and without good
We have time enough for carefulness They that
worship God must worship him in spirit and in truth
This will bring stiffness. The heart loosed from il
self will find rest when it seeks it. The seeking will
be restful. In the conscious presence of God we
come upon his quietness The time in which we
find God and abide with him is the quiet hour-Rey.

1t Jesus praying that he trans
figured We must pray too if we would have
lives changed into beauty. Prayer brings into the
very presence of God When Moses had been forty
days and nights with God in the mount his face was
shining. If we kneel really before God his glory will
enter into life and brighten it. Then praying
changes u.s. because must give up will
and let the will of God be done in us. Thus it Gains
and sweetens' spirit This feeling of submission
makes peace in the heart, and this should the
face to shine. Again praying brings God down into
life, and this transfgures us. We must pray
much if would have life shine.
Saints who leave this world live on in another
world. Here we see two men, Moses and Elijah, on
the mountain with Jesus They had been in heaven
for many centuries, and now they again, liv
ing STILL and busy in serving God. All believers who
have passed from EARTH falling asleep in Jesus, are
still alive They are conscious. They active also
in the work of the Lord, these two were.
Life does not end when people die Jesus said those
who believe in him shall never die. St. Paul speaks
of dying for believer departing be with Christ.
He speaks also of saints departed absent from the
body" and sat home with the Lord" We should try
to think of Christian friends who have left
living in better fuller life.
The TRANSPORTATION of Christ was the outshinng
of his true glory. When he to the earth he
ceaed the brightness of his deity in human body.
Though he was the Son of God he was man also
and there nothing in his form to show that he
God. His face had no glory in it. He lived
like other people. But that night for an hour
the divine brightness poured out through his body
as light within house pours out through the win
dows. The disciples had GLIMPSE of his divine
glory. That is the way Jesus appears in heaven
That is the way he will appear when he comes again
to judge the world
Peters wish that tabernacles might be built and
that they all might remain there was natural but
it not granted. 1t mistaken wish. If Je-
had remained there, there would have been no
and no redemption If the disciples had stayed
there the world would have missed the work which
those did in the after years. 1t is very sweet
for Christians to be in happy meetings. but they can
not stay there all the time. They have work to do
There are people with troubles who need their help
and comfort and there people in sin who need to
be told about Christ We must go out from our
meetings and must do all we can for the world
We read here that during the TRANSPORTATION
voice was heard from heaven the voice of God say
ing, "This is my Son, my chosen: hear we him"
Thus God assured the disciples that this Jesus was
indeed, the Messiah the Saviour of the world 1t is
good for to have this assurance Jesus was the
one sent from heaven to redeem us. We need not
fear to trust him We may commit ourselves to him
with perfect confidence He is able to save unto the
uttermost all who come unto God by him. because he
is the Son of God

JAMES YOUNG AS LORD BYRON.
One of the Finest Shows of the Season
at the Academy Tonight.

Mr.. James Young will present his
superb spectacular production of his new
romantic play Lord Byron at the Academy
tonight. The piece will be presented
with all the new and elaborate scenery,
furniture and effects, with which Mr..
Young has invested it. The scenery has
been painted by Augustin Days own
scene painter; antique furniture relating
to the period in which Byron lived includ-
ing an old spinet manufactured in 1893,
has been purchased at great cost and
every detail has been carefully thought
out, nothing being left undone to make it
absolutely complete.
Mr.. Young is supported by Miss Rida
Louise Johnson, the authoress of the
piece, and a very clever company of
players, some of whom have been drawn
from the forces Of the late Augustin DAILY
and the late Charles Coghlan. Miss
Johnson is now in the city. Lord Byron
is said by critics everywhere to be brill
liant play of surprising interest, gor-
geously invested and played by a most
capable company. Reserve seats are now
on sale.

FERTILIZER FOLKS COMPLAIN
The Rates on the Southern Railway
Too High.

The Southern Chemical Company, of
Winston, complains that the Southern
Railway is charging it a rate of S306
to Lousburg, and it contends that this is
30 cents too much. The complaint was
made yesterday to the Commissioner of
Agriculture and by him referred to the
Corporation Commission.
Secretary Brown, of the Commission.
replying TO the complaint says: THE rate
from Winston to Raleigh is 81, and from
Raleigh to Louisburg. $1.30. which equals
$500. and this amount less 20 per cent
would be 1854. The company should con-
tend for this rate and if it is denied, lei
the complaint be filed with the Commits,
sion and the matter will have immediate
attention.
1T may be, however, that the conten-
ton is on the part of the Seaboard All
Line. as this company has appealed from
the order of the Commission reducing
the carload minimum from IL to IL
tons; but if the shipments are as much
as i tons this contention cannot arise

THE 23rd REGIMENT.
Information Desired to Make the
Sketch Complete.

The history OF the Twenty third North
Carolina Volunteers in the war for
Southern Independence in the regimental
series published by the State, under
Judge Walter Clark's editorship, will go
TO press within two months. 1t is much
to be desired that this history be made
fuller than the late Capt. H. c. Wall was
able to make the sketch published in the
newspapers three years ago. The cap
tain accomplished much, but his time was
limited and little aid was extended him.
DR.. V. E. Turner, Raleigh, y. c., is the
present historian.
Surviving members of the regiment are
most earnestly besought to lend a help
ing hand. Let every man write his war
recollections as fully as he can and send
to US. Every man can, if he will, tell
something of interest. No matter how
trivial. so that it is true, it may be Of
value in itself or help to corroborate and
verify other points in doubt.
Let us have incidents of battle, of camp,
of prison, of the march, anything, every
thing is desired. Not that all can be
used entire or even in part, but combined
they will picture the regiments career
and render possible the writing of a
from early siXty-one till the order
came at AppomattoX to stack arms was
ever at the point of duty.
Unless aid is given by the many well
able to give it, the labor of the few who,
wholly without compensation and at a
great sacrifice of time and convenience
are doing this work cannot accomplish
much, and posterity will have a poor and
unworthy idea of what the Twenty third
did and suffered. And posterity, to whom
every act and scene of the great drama
| will be of living and growing in
terest, will rate us soundly for our apa-
| thy, and hold the Indifferent survivors all
unworthy the comradeship of those who
| fell.

any kind can address either the Historian
