n vast amount OF the preaching OF to-
day-as, indeed, has been the case in
the past--is more or less valueless, be-
cause It Is mere speculation or bare as
sertlon. IL does not feed the flock II
lacks the elements Of spiritual nutri-
ton Thinking men tire of preaching
that does not touch vital things; and
who shall blame them? We venture to
say that the problem OF the non-at-

more likely TO be solved by opening 10
them the Scriptures largely a

than by any other means that the in
genuity OF man can devise. At any

BY another correspondent we are
asked curious question. Il Is whether
a person who earned money In 1900 but
did not get his pay until some time in
1901, and then gave the tenth OF II TO
his Bishop, IL TO be counted a 1.-THE
payer, or whether the money Is to be
credited as donation. The inquiry is
said TO be founded on actual ,circum-
stances.
The answer Is, tithing Is always tlth-
Ing. no matter when It Is paid, and is
TO be credited as tithlng. OF course II
not paid tll January Let or later in
1901. II cannot be credited for 1900. But
II the member had no income To 1.-THE
In 1900, or il he paid the tenth OF what
ne did receive. and in 1901 tithed what
he obtained and should have had In
1900. he should be classed as 1.-THE
payer most certainly.
Non-tithepayers' in the Church, are
understood to be persons who receive
something to 1.-THE and do not 1.-THE IT,
If they have no income, they have no
tithing due and should not be listed an
der the head OF on-tlthepayers, It
would be a splendid thing II people
would use their own thinking powers,
look at both sides Of question and be
guided by that generally good oriter-
ion-common sense.

ANSWERS 10 QUESTIONS.

We frequently receive Inquiries on

are very simple, and which could be
easily understood II the writer's would

lessons from which they quote One

us TO tell what was 1.-THE sign Of the
Prophet Jonas" mentioned In Matth.

the grief Of Jesus spoken Of In MarA

AS to the first question, Il Is answered
In the verse following next after the
one mentioned The account given In
the Old Testament about Jonah's being
three days and nights in the great fish
prepared" for the purpose, Is referred
to as Sign, prefguring the three days
and nights lnterment Of the body OF the
Savior after His crucfixon, Read both
verses together, and there will be no
need for a query.
The second question contains mis-
take. There Is no MARK XII, 3d." our
correspondent doubtless means Luke 81
ate as to dates and figures and quota
lions. Jesus wept." What for? The
context shows. 1t was at the tomb of
Lazarus. When Jesus saw Martha and
Mary, whom He loved, mourning ovei
the death Of their brother Lazarus, ana
the Jews weeping around, He wept in
sympathy for their grief But He also
did what lie could for their relief He
exercised the power He had received
from His Father and Lazarus was
brought forth alive from the tomb 1t
Is all clear when the whole account is
read,
This idea Of taking an Isolated text,
and harplng upon 1t, comes from the
custom adopted by preachers In most
If not all Of the religious sects in Chris
tendon. Every subject treated upon,
and every incident related In the Scrip.
lures should be read in It's entirety,
and then there will be few reasons for
debate az to It's meaning,
There are two good lessons in the
story about Lazarus for people Of the
present day. One Is that It is not
wrong to feel and show sympathy for
the sorrowing. to weep with those that
weep, II II Is not carried TO excess, and
the other is to extend help TO those in
distress as far as we have power to
exercise 1t. To aid as wei as sympa.
thize. To relieve as we'll as pity. That
is Christlike and we should follow in

DEATH WOUND GIVEN BY A BOY.
II. F. Jones, an Allegheny Ex- Representative,

Winston Salem, N. c., August r.
Fred Craver, aged IL years, died at the
hospital here today from wound on
the head, inflicted two months ago by
a piece of iron, the blow having been
struck by Will Baity, aged II years.
The latter plead guilty at the last term
of court and was released on payment
of cost, Craver at that time being con-
sidered out of danger. The coroner's
jury, composed of six physicians, de-
cided this afternoon that Baity was re-
sponsible for Craver's death. Baity
was arrested and committed to jail
H. f. Jones, ex-Representative from

Sentence was to be passed by Judge

with Republicans and Populists during
the fusion Legislature. Since then he
has been recognized as Republican.
He had his suit moved to Wilkes on
the plea that he could not get justice
from Democrats in Allegheny. The

him were Republicans.

THE FUNDING BONDS
They Are Again on the Hands
of the County,
Bond Dealers Not Satisfied as to Their Validity
Have Declined to Accept Them at
Their Bids.

And now another banking house de-
clines to take the proposed issue OF
Wake county funding bonds-$14 900,
3O-years. at per cent.
1t will be remembered that on June
LIST bids were opened and the bonds
were awarded to FEEDER, Hoffman &,
Co., Cincinnati, their bid being the
highest-$15,790.
They asked time to investigate, We're
not satisfied fully as to the validity of
the bonds and declined them.
Then they were offered to the next
highest bidder. F. NJ Stafford & Co.,
Chattanooga, who bid s15.7S5.5O.
They, too, asked time to investigate.
1t was given them, and yesterday the
county treasurer was notified that they
would not take the bonds, not being
satisfied that the debt, which the bonds
are to pay off, was incurred in "neces-
sary expenses" as defined by the
courts. @T
Suspecting that Stafford & Co., like
FEEDER, Holtzman & Co., would decline
the bonds, the county commissioners
at their August meeting, authorized
the county treasurer to dispose of
them, provided he could do so at not
less than 106, or $14,S4O
The objection urged against them by
FEEDER, Hoffman & Co. and by Stafford
& Co is the inability of the county to
show that the money was spent for
necessary expenses. This they consider
absolutely Indispensable, under the de-
cisions of our Supreme Court, unless
an election is held and the bond issue
authorized by vote of the people of
the county.
