Killed Both Attackers.

A dual killing occurred at Grassy
Springs, Hancock county, last week.
1t may terminate in three deaths,
as the third party to the affair now
lies in precarious condition.
George Mabe and his son, Lon
Mabe, it is said, attacked Charles
Maxey, who married George Mabe's
daughter. 1t is claimed that the
father and son precipitated the trou-
BILE with Maxey because of the lat
ter's domestic affairs. When Max
ey was attacked he was shot twice,
and, it is claimed, he retaliated at
once by killing George Mabe and
then he took Mabe's pistol from the
dead body and with it shot and
killed Lon Mabe Maxey is gener-
ally credited with having acted in
self-defense. Maxey will die. His
Wounds are very serious and are be-
lieved to be fatal.

First Tennessee Artillery.

The Vicksburg National Park
Commission is endeavoring to get
information that will assist in locat-
ing the positions of the First Ten
nessee Heavy Artillery engaged in
the defense of Vicksburg in the
summer of 1868. The names of
the officers of that organization were
Capt. William III. Dismukes, Ney-
land, Norman, Capt. Parks, Capts.
J. B. Caruthers, T. N. Johnston and
J. P. Lynch. 1t was one of these
companies or batteries that served
the guns which were the cause of
the sinking of the gunboat Cincin-
natl of Porter's fleet, and it is
thought probable that there are sur
vivors of those commands in Ten
nessee now who could give the de-
sired information. As a means to
attain this end, it .is thought that
the newspapers would be direct
medium, and therefore Chairman
Rigby has sought the aid of the
press of the State.

The Loss of Life by the Overturn-

May Reach 10.

Madrid. June 29.-By midnight 100
bodies had been extricated from the
wreck of the Bilbao train, from a
overturned, Saturday night, from a
bridge into the Nejervilla river, and
it is estimated that 20 corpses remain
in the wreckage. The bodies are
horribly mutilated. Differences be-
tween the civil and military authori-
ties rendered the work of rescue
more difficult. That many prosper
Gus persons are among the victims is
testified to by the great quantity of
money and jewelry collected by the
genda rmes.

when carried away into captivity. I
cannot imagine circumstances which
would have afforded Better excuse for
refusal to recognize the claims of the
nation upon him. 1t would have been
most natural and human for Daniel to
have reasoned himself into the belief
that disloyalty to the heather king
would be loyalty to his God and his own
unfortunate nation. But there were
three elements in Daniels character
which enabled him to adjust himself
most equally and righteously with
the conditions surrounding him. AS
follower of God he recognized GODS
absolute sovereignty in both temporal
as well as spiritual affairs; he kept his
eye steadfastly fixed upon God, and he
concentrated his purposes in God. And
as a direct result of this threefold re-
lationship to God, his walk among men
was marked by practical contact with
them, and consistent and persistent eff
fort in the duties and responsibilities
which lay before him.

DUT practical contact with the
ID affairs of the world must be
marked by consistent and persistent
effort. Consistency is declared to be
level. and it shines nowhere so bright
as in the life of the Christian citizen.
He who walks in the light may not
step into the bypaths of questionable
conduct to-day and maintain his in
fiuence in the pathway of right to-
morrow. It is never a question OF
policy and the least of two evils, but
the consistent walking in the path
way which God points out. The vas
cillating Christian is the one who
gets nowhere in this life, and who at
the end barely gets into Heaven. But
the one who walks rs a child of the
light travels the pathway of consis-
tencv which places his life above re-
proach When the enemies of Dan
ieI sought occasion against him and
wished to ruin him they were not
able to detect the least departure
from rectitude or failure to discharge
the responsibilities of his important
office. Their only hope of entang-
ling him was along the line of his
consistent Christian living. And so
it ought to be with every Christian.
l remember during the worlds
fair when those great searchlights
sent their intense shafts of bright
light skimming over the fair grounds
and surrounding country watching
with startled interest the sudden re-
vealing of objects and people where
there had been nothing but black
darkness but an instant before. How
sharply everything stood out. The
light made conspicuous that which
would have been unnoticed before.
Think of what our text implies when
it tells the Christian TO walk as a
child of light. In the darkness of the
world about him he will shine as a
lamp in a dark place. He will be
conspicuous, but it will be n conspicu-
business which will eXalt Christian
citizenship and glorify God. Let us
therefore be followers of God, and
walk as children of light"
When ignorance keeps peace in the
family, it's folly to tell all you know.

THE Christian citizen, if he would be
true and loyal patriot, must first
of all recognize the sovereignty of God.
Gods eternal purposes are to be work
ed out in the world through nations,
and individuals in their relations to
nations. The religion which leads its
followers to withdraw from vital con-
tact with the nation under the mis-
conception that God has abandoned it
in its mad rush to ruin might do for
angels who move in the higher spiritual
realm, but it will not do for man in the
world under the present dispensaticn.
1t is a mighty uplift to the Christian
to realize that the hand of God rests
upon the temporal affairs of men and
of nations. Daniel might well have
reasoned in the face of the continued
triumph of the mighty heather king
ton that Gods hand was not in it all.
He might have hung his harp on the
weeping willow trees and sat down by
the rivers of Babylon and refused to be
comforted. But with the recognition
of the absolute sovereignty of God he
knew that even in the darkest hour Of
evils triumph God was moving on, and
he determined that he would be one OF
the channels through which God might
work. To-day realization of the SOW
ereignty of God is as necessary as in
the days of Daniel.

authority, because there is no power
but of God: the powers that be are
ordained of God" Our fundamental
proposition then is the inseparable
connection which God always has
with the affairs of nations, and the
medium through which He operates
is that of human instrumentalities.
This being true, the worship and
service of God cannot be confined to
the Westinghouse or the closet, but
must extend TO political affiliation,
the administration of public affairs,
and every relation which the citizen
is called upon 10 sustain to the COM
munity, city, state or nation. The
Chris tian must be and ought to be
the most loyal, faithful and obedient
citizen. His religion must not weak
rn his hand in its grasp of public at
fairs. 1t should not lessen his sense
of responsibility to help carry the
burdens of state. 1t is a false note
in religion which makes a man feel
out of tune and out of place at the
political gathering and at the polls.
The Christian, If he follows God and
walks as a disciple of the light, is
not led away from active and earnest
participation in public affairs and
the solving of political questions,
but is inevitably placed in close con-
tact with them and filled with God
given zeal and enthusiasm in the
working out of the problems which
confront him. That preacher in In
diana who recently gave up his pulpit
in order that he might fill the posi-
ton of town policeman and main
tain the order of the community,
thing which no one else seemed will
ing or able to do, was actuated by
Divine impulse, and had clear con-
ception of the relation which the
Christian sustains to the state. The
Christian who is willing to enjoy the
security, and prosperity. and liberty
which his nation affords him, and
yet escape the duties and response
bilities of citizenship, is dishonoring
God, putting reproach upon the re-
ligion which he processes and living
a narrow and mean existence.
