THE sAPTIsrs AND THE STATE.

Much interest is felt by all Georgia
Baptists in the main issue to be
brought before the Georgia Baptist
Association converting in Americas
this week, a convention largely at
tended by Augustans.
This issue, the separation of church
and state. which was described in de
tail in Yesterdays Herald, will proba-
ably create adegree of excitment, an it
involves the financial status of a great
number of the Baptist schools in
Georgia. Recently a number of Bap-
lists. notably DR.. Landrum, formerly
pastor of the First church of Augusta,
have questioned the right of Baptist
schools to receive public school money,
as to do so would be to violate the an
cient and time honored Baptist prin-
ciple of entire separation of church
and state. Mr.. Sparks Melton, of the
First church, declined an appoint
ment as trustee of the Hephzibah
High School on the same ground, as
this school has been receiving state
support for some time.
On the other hand, there are many
prominent Baptists who view the ques-
ton quite differently, and who declare
that is not violation of the consti-
tuition of the United States nor of the
Baptist principles for these schools to
receive aid from the state. Others
again say the Baptists should support
these schools; and still others who
think that, pushing the question to its
logical conclusion, would be for the
churches to pay state taxes and fol
the state to cease legislating about the
Sabbath.
Where there is so much disagree
ment the discussion is sure to be an
exciting one, and its outcome is
awaited with much interest. Augusta

was to that lady the letter was writ,
ten. In the letter Sheppard declared
that the young lady had married the
wrong man, saying:
God has appeared to me and told
me so. know you are going to be
miserable and for that reason I am
going to die. l had rather be dead
than TO see you unhappy. Had you
married me all would have gone well,
So goodby."

A special judiciary committee of the
house has reported favorably on the
bill to increase the salaries of judges
of the superior court to $4,000 year.
Our judges are certainly not over
paid and the salary of the Chief Elk
ecutive of the state is too small by far.
A poor man could hardly afford to
occupy the position, as it requires
more than the salary paid him to sup
port his family and entertain in a
manner that the dignity Of the posi-
ton requires. The State of Georgia
certainly should not be niggardly in
the matter of salaries.
