SERMON BY REV SYLVESTER
CLARKE, D. D.,
PREACHED AT TRINITY CHURCH. NEW
TOWN, APRIL ID.

Text, Psalm n: TO- "Thou leddest Thy peo-
pie like sheep by the hand OF Moses and
Aaron"
In the services for this, the End Sun
DAY after Easter, the Church, in the
Collect, Epistle and Gospel, points US
to the ministry as the subject for our
consideration.
The writer Of this Psalm is in very
great trouble. Much of the Psalm is
sad and responding. But he does not
forget to look to God for help, and.
accordingly help is vouchsafed him:
particularly he finds encouragement in
remembering what God had done for
His chosen people in their crises of
trial. ellis wonders of old time" the
Psalmist calls them. And he names
them over. The mighty deliverance
OF the Hebrews out of Egypt. The
making way for them through the
Red Sea. The subsection of the
elements Of Nature to the Divine will
in their behalf, and lastly, this of the
text, "Thou leddest Thy people like
sheep by the hand of Moses and
Aaron"
1t need hardly be said that this is
the highest manifestation of Divine
power. 1t is more to lead a nation.
thus controlling human wills, than it
is to make unwilful, passive water
obey, as at the Red Sea.
1t is more to lead nation than to
compel nation by force, as was done
when the Egyptians were made to let
Israel go. And yet it might be object
ed, that leaving the wonderful history
OF the Jewish nation out of view, and
considering the text only in the light
OF general statement, it does not
necessarily require supernatural might
and wisdom to lead people like Sheep:
that on the contrary men in the mass
are very much like sheep by nature.
Hold out some enticement, and they
eagerly run towards it like a flock.
Begin little panic, and they run away
from the supposed danger in blind and
trembling haste. So that a text of
Holy Scripture which seems to set
forth this credulous, timorous. weak
and silly creature as an example of
mans imitation, whether or not it.
could be shown to be useful, would, at
least, be superfluous.
Now, with reference to this possible
objection to our text, 1 would merely
say that the truth concerning it can
be comprised in this very brief explana-
ton, viz, that it is not much for a
man to be like sheep, and it is much
to be good sheep. On the one hand
there are cowardice, and credulity and

pen in gall. No newspaper in any
large city has as yet, to my knowledge,
given or attempted to give, full, fair
and complete statement of the merits
of the 1-60 plan. They have presented
its dement's, have served their readers
with all the ridicule, sarcasm, denun-
citation and invectives they could mus
ter against it, but arguments hardly
ever.
You say you and those you represent
| will "resist at the polls the adoption
of this plan," and that you 'still trust
that some proper plan will be adopt
3D." but you fail to suggest that prop
er plan. AS have already stated, the
plan proposed by the delegate from
your town did not receive the support
of the delegates from the other large
| towns.
If you have some plan that we have
not had before us will you not, even at
this late day, send me that "proper
plan" you have in mind; for am sure
If you had no such plan you would not
have attempted to influence the con-
ventiOn in this important matter. The
| labors of the convention are nearly
ended and you of course will see the
necessity of as little delay as possible
and should be pleased to receive an
answer as early as Wednesday next.
AS your action received wide pub
licity through the press, l take an
equal liberty. Yours respectfully,
david B. Hotchkiss, delegate.
The A considerable interest
British has been aroused in the
Supply country over the fact that
Post. British post has been es-
tablished in Lathrop, Mo-, which has
had in hand the supplying Of horses
and mules for the British army in
South Africa. This post has shipped
1900 head Of horses and mules during
the last year for the use of the British
army in Africa. The fact that such a
post is in our country raises question
of whether there is any right for such
post to be in our country. 1t is an
international matter and might be one
of Importance. Just how fair it is to
the Beers to have our country shelter
British post is an open question. The
governor of Missouri sent his private
secretary to Lathrop to investigate
and report and he says that 81 Sepoys
have recently arrived at Lathrop and
will soon return to India with 500 or
1000 mules for use in the army in that
country.
The The fact that the price

high has stirred up President Roose-
welt and Attorney General Knox to
make an investigation of the beef trust.
S. H. Bethea has been appointed to
make a searching inquiry Of the So
called beef trust in Chicago to see
whether it has broken the Sherman
antitrust law. Particular attention
will be paid to the report that the
territory Of the various states has been
parcelled out among the members of
the trust so that there shall be no
competition. AS result of this par
ceiling out of the country the price of
meat was raised and it seems to be 60
ing sky high. 1t ought to be said on
the other side that the high price of
grain has made many of the western
cattle raisers push their cattle into the
market so that there is an actual
scarcity of beef where it used to be
plenty. The Eastern farmer will be
wise if he raises his own beef and also

issued statement today showing that
the assessment of real estate and per-
sonal property and railway lines in
the state for 1902 is $40, GOO, coo in ex-
cess of that of last year. The figures
are a splendid testimonial to the in
dustrial progress of the state, and the
showing is somewhat remarkable in
view of the fact that real property
was assessed last year, whereas assess
ments have heretofore been biennial,
and the additional fact that the asses
sors in some counties negligently

Over Five Thousand Bales of This
Were Ginned
UP TO THE 18TH OF OCTOBER.
Taking Census Report as a Basis
o,ooo, 900 Bales Will Be Raised.
special to the Daily Progress.

Special to the Daily Progress.
JackOsn, Nov. s. According to the
special census report of the amount of
cotton ginned up to and including
the 18th of October last, Mississippi's
crop this year will be in the neighbor-
hood of 200, 600 bales, with prospects
of going somewhat in the excess of
these figures.
The census report states that 559,-
126 bales were ginned up to the 18th
of October, and this is estimated to
be Al per cent of the total crop.
Conservative cotton men who have
studied the census figures and made
comparisons with the statistics of last
year, express the opinion that the es-
timated per centage of the crop ginned
on that date is rather high, and they
anticipate crop in excess Of l, 800, 900
bales 1t is not belieevd among men
thoroughly conevrsant with the crop
conditions that the Mississippi yield
viii be lighter than that of last year,
and the cOncesuS of opinion seems 10
be to the effect that the yield will be
practically the same, or about
1, $50, 600 bales.
Taking the special census report as
basis, and figuring ON the estimated
per centage yet to be ginned, the total
crop of the south will be about $780,
600 bales, or about 5000 bales less
than that of last year, and the cotton
trade in this state, at least, is not
prepared to accept this statement as
anything like approximately correct,
especially in view of the rapidly de-
clining market.
The total number of gins reported
in Mississippi is 1852, which is
slightly in excess of the number in
operation in the state last year.

jackson, Nov. 8.-Governor Lon

next week for the gulf coast to make
an investigation and inquiry into the
numerous complaints filed by the
Mississippi fishermen of i'll treatment
by the Louisiana patrol boats in the

United States supreme court. The
governor states that he will make a
careful study of the unjust, and take
such action as the circumstances may
warrant TO protect the interests of the
Mississippi fishermen and prevent dis
elimination pending the settlement OF
the legal proceedings. If necessary
he will hold conference with the
governor of Louisiana ON the subject.
The governor has received lengthy

Editor of the Progress, Hattiesburg,
Miss
Will you all ow me to give my in
quiring friends a few facts l have
learned about Denver?
The population is 162, 900; the city
is unique among the great towns of
the world 1t is better known, ex-
cepting New York, Chicago and San
Francisco, than any locality in the
United States This is due to many
reasons:
The city is cosmopolitan in its
character, it draws people by reason
of its picturesque situation and it's
healing climate, from all parts of the
world. 1t is unique in having grown
to its present size in less time than
the average life of man and it has de-
veloped also into a beautiful place
now attractive to tourists, while its
climatic advantages are known the
wide world over.
There is nothing sleepy about Den
yer. 1t has nervous, lively charac-
ter, due probably to climatic infu-
ences This must be so, for it is
simply wondrous that where forty
years ago the Indian was the inhabi-
tant and the site barren wilderness,
there should grow a town of 100, 600
people and city of surprising fair
ness.
1t is easy to write elaborately of
the many attractions of this queen
city of the plains, but it is carrying
Goals to New Castle.
Denver has one hundred and eighty
one and half miles of street rail
ways, running in every direction. Its
superb hotels would do credit to any
city in Europe or America. Its
churches and institutes are an oint-
ment to the city and a credit to its
culture and taste, while its scholastic
advantages are unsurpassed by any
metropolis.
Newspapers and periodical publica-
tions number over one hundred.
These include four English dailies,
two morning and two afternoon jour
nals-and one Greman daily.
Twenty-one railroads touch the
city, and about one hundred passenger
trains arrive and depart daily.
Situated five hunderd miles from
any of the nronninent towns of the
country, it is monument to the pio-
neer spirit which has made it what
it is.
Our mission will soon be over.
Mr.. Sheppard will have recovered
his health, and we will speed bach
home before the Geld weather freeze:

tion. MRS. J. @. SHEPPARD.

Judge Truly sentenced him to die on
