SOLDIERS HOME.
MorristOwn Board of Trade Thanks Con-
gresham BrownlOw and
Senator Bate.
Morristown Gazette.

At the Board of Trade meeting last
Friday night, Mr.. J. F. Goodson, vice
president in the chair, the president,
Col. Il. H. Reyes, submitted the fol-
lowing paper for consideration:
"About twenty years ago Hon. w.
P. Brownlow began work for soldiers
home in East Tennessee. His first
move was bill introduced by Hon. l..
@. Houk to locate such home in the vi
cinity of Knoxville. Later Mr.. Brown
low changed the place and Hon. A. A.
Taplor introduced the bill to locate the
home at Greeneville. Neither of these
bills were acted upon by congress.
His last move was to interest Senator
Bate and others in the United States
senate in favor of the same object, and
as result Mr.. Brownlow's Soldiers
Home bill passed the senate at the last
session of congress, and was faYorably
reported, butnot taken up in the house
of representatives until Monday, Janu-
airy 81, 1901, when the bill passed the
house unanimously, appropriating
$3.50, 900 for a home at or near Johnson
City, Tenn.
In view of the the twenty years work
done, with an eye to this abiect, the
Morristown Board of Trade, represent
ing the people of this city where he re-
sided 25 years ago, take great pleasure
in congratulating Hon. W. p. Brown
low over the success that has crowned
his efforts; and as citizens of the Vol
unteer state, we extend to Hon. W. P.
Brownlow and Hon. William B. Bate,
with all others who so kindly aided
them, our thanks for the great honor
which they have secured for our state,
and especially East Tennessee, in the
location of this brance soldiers home at
johnson City.
Resolved, That this paper be entered
of record on our minutes, and copy
furnished for publication and also a
copy to Senator Bate and Mr.. Brown
low.
Which resolution and paper was, af-
ter discussion, unanimously, adopted
by the Board of Trade.

A METAPHORICAL ILLUSTRATIVE
REPRESENTATION OF new BIRTH

CONTINUED FROM LAST wEEK.)
There is now such a multiplicity of
diversified denominations and proclivi-
ties of organizations set up for SELF
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and popularity that
the erring children of men scarcely
know what direction for them to take
for the nearest and cheapest route to
the celestial world, especially when
they see the members CT these various
denominations committing abomnibe
iniquities that 1 imagine would well
nigh make old Belzzebub blush behind
his hell scorched ears for pitying shame
while most of these denominations pro-
mulgate to the world OF mankind that
their mode of worship is infallibly
right and all the others wanting while
the sacred word says emphatically that
straight is the gate and narrow is the
way that leads to life, and few there be
that find it, while many are called but
few are chosen. The divine spirit
awakes and arouses and kindles in
mans heart an unextinguishbAle emo
tional flame Of unyielding ASPIRATION,
when he would readily receive its teach

God and fills his scul with unutterable
augumenting JOY that tangibly draws
him to God by q harmonious mutual
tie of intimate relationship till they
readily realize the quickening pulsing
throb of the life giving vitalizing re-
cuperating power of God permeating
through their whole consciousness, 30
that the life they subsequently lived in
the flesh they now liye in their faith in
the Son of God, living in the pre-emi-
nent superexalting uncircumscribed
aggregation of the peaceable fruits of
inexpressible blessedness augumenting
into immortality. Christ in you and

tural appropriation bill providing that
