TUESDAY EVENING. sov. 10, 1901.

I'm THESE strange, eventful days
nothing seems too remarkable, or De-
yond the pale OF human ingratitude,
ave, even personal dupliolty. Men
who have again and again received
public houors 10 the way OF political
prefermeut and promotion. instead Of
"praising the bridge that carries them
over" turn at the 6rst opportunity ano
use every faculty they possess to dis
credit former party affiliations and
friends. On Monday, November IL
last. the voters OF Alabama by MAORI
ty OF 80. 900 and more ratified the new
constitution which for months past nad
been considered and debated ana 81

tent with being defeated In the con-
ysntion, the Observation-Disclosures took
the stump and after having been beaten

and taking their medicine like men,

of ballots cast In the election on the

Johnston, former Congressman Dem

never become suddenly wicked. The
correctness Of this is proved By south
ern converts, FIRST, ouckoos, then bolt
ers and at last renegades. John 81
Wise, now of New York, late OF Vir'
gina, did not always follow closely the
teaohiogs of the ninth commandment,

described certain persons as "being
apostates for the price OF their spos'
tasy," and he had personal knowl-
edge OF its truth.

The TwENTY-FoURTH annual oon'
gsntion OF the Columbia Association OF
Baptist churches OF Washington was
opened last might in Calvary Baptist
Church In that city. General Shallen'
berger, the Fourth Assistant Postmss-
ter General. presided. Among those
who delivered addresses was Rev. DR..
G.. s. Williams, OF Washington.
Among other thinRsthe pastor OF the
Metropolitan Churcbthe speaker said
churches made mistakes In cat
ering to the wealthy class. He as
serted that 1t was not wealth that
speeded the advancement OF @ relig.
ious body, but work. On the contrary,
he said, there we're many wealthy per-
sons who, according to statements made
and verified, failed to contribute as
much toward the church's treasury as
many OF the poorest Of the congregation.
The addition OF wealthy persons to the
congregation of church, said the
speaker, only tended to lessen the re-
ligious body's progress, and was moth
ing more than an impeachment to prog
ress. The deductions OF Mr.. Williams
will be read with establishment by many
churchmen OF our day. The man In
goodly apparel aud with the gold ring
is still shown to the best seats, while the
poorly clothed may be neglected, but
that the rich man Is an impeachment to
church progress Is an assumption which
can doubtless be controverted.
