There is good philosophy and much
comfort in that psalm. It's frequent
nerusaI will fortify US against trou-
HE and leave us calm and serene OF
least for time. But I don't believe
that David had as many things to ex-
asperate him as We do. Now here is
Chicago religious paper sent to me
to disturb my tranquility. It con.
taius a sermon recently delivered by
the editor TO large congregation of
his followers and they said amen and
amen at every malediction that he
uttered against our people. I don t
fret myself about what a Northern
preacher says nor Northern editor
writes, but 1 don't like that amen and
amen from the saints, and it grieves
me TO realize that the more malignant
an editor is against us the more sub
scribers his paper gets. Now this
Chicago editor says in his sermon:
IF we're president when the next
lyrching takes place in the South /
gould put Gordon around that dis
rict and hang a hundred Of them and
would shoot hundred. : Worthy Of
} csnnbals are the. horrible things car
red on in the South. AS sure as you
live these eight million negroes will
one day burst loose. If it is to be
blood for blood, then woe to yon ia
the black belt. You Southerners,
With your rebellious pride still left,
you lynch the poor negro for the very
crime that your fathers committed on
their slaves. There is one voice that
vill speak if all others are silent.
(Applause.) When the time comes
we will do more than speak. God will

had any. They we're never worthy Of
my friendship. They are neither
Christians ncr good citizens. I hear
the march Of eight million Philippians,
and it will be an awful day when they
burst loose in the black belt.1
My wife says that 1 had better

come forth in all It's crimson beauty.
A pair of tiny sparrows are drinking
at the fountain in the front yard.
They are yellow and black, akin to
the canaries. Amockingbird A is sing
ing in neignbors garden. Our flook
Of pigeons is sailing around in graceful
curves. The peacock is strutting and
spreading his magnificent tail and is
happy in his vanity. The dog lies
lasily on the blue grass and everything
is happy that God has made except
some miserable people who are never
happy unless they are. abusing some
thing or finding fauls with 4 their
ncighbors. What : slaok-srough the
South is to that class up North.
They can differ with each other in
politics and the tariff and religion and
the Philippine war, but when they
get tired oa, quarreling they say,
We'll, now, let's hold up awhile and
abuse those niger killers down
