SOME one imposed upon the news
editor of this paper last week, by
sending letter from Staytonsville,
to which our correspondents name
at that place was signed, in which
severalstatements were made which
we have since found to be lies.
The CHRONICLE was imposed on
in this instance, but fortunately no
injury was done to the people, but
we shall strive to have persons who
attempt to be funny, feel the sting
of their so-ca1led joke.

/ ,hduigenoes, and IN the very nature Of
tba situation II would not be long till 1t
would have to deal with It's dancing ele-
merts as e,iteasts, gamblers, race track

| is presumption which Is not warranted
by the facts There are churches which
| "a net prohibit Reasonable Indulgence IN
trese atnusements, vet there are no such
distressing results as the ina ton OF
4 our contemporary has cohjured up, Ir-
deed we think 1t can be shown that
churches which have no prohibitory rules
on these subjects can show among their
membership as much true religion pure
and sincere, and without Hypocrisy, as
those churches which do,
The fact Is that no church. so far as
our knowledge goes, undertakes to en-
force strictly these rules. and for that
reason, IL for no other 1t seems to US
that the rules should be abolished. In
ali circumstances We think 1t better to
have no law than to have a law which Is
not enforced.
TO sum UP our own position IN the
premises, we hold that religion consists
in what a man Is, rather than what he
does, or In what he abstains from doing.
Religion Is a living principle, and does
not consist In acts. Religion Is the fo,in-
tain from which the stream proceeds II
tho fountain be pure, the stream will BIO
clean: If the fountain be foul the stream
will be filthy. 1t seems to us, therefore,.
that the great aim OF the church should
be TO promote the true principles Of rell-
glon, to iii the hearts Its membership
with It, rather than to attempt to regu-
late the amusements OF the flock. But
where so much stress Is laid upon these
trifles-for trifes they are In n great
measure--when young people especially
hear sermon after sermon about dancing
and card-playng and theatre-going, and
all the rest of It, as though such indu-
gence were the objectionable sin, they
are apt to lose sight of the welghtier mat
tiers of truth and virtue and charity
and all the graces which make up gen
rne pcty and Christian character. Only
let the hearts Of the people be filled
with true religion and the church need
not concern itself about the conduct Of
its members. Conduct will then regulate
itself.

Worldly Amusements.

lierred. The question is whether or not
amy organized church should prohibit Its
members from taking part in those
Iemusements which, innocent in them
selves, are made sinful by excessive in
idulgence. Our contemporary reproduces
come remarks of ours in this connection,
but takes issue with the Views we ex-
pressed Can the church, as the con

Mr.. Button also calls atten lion to the fact
that while it has not been the custom
for the Virginia Demo racySt to instruct
It's delegation ia the national convention,
departure was made from the rule IN
1900. when the Norfolk convention adopt
ed the following resolution;
1t ..."we heartily endorse William Jen-
nings Bryan as the logical Democratic
candidate for the presidency of the
United States, and we instruct our dele
gates to the national Democratic con-
vention to DO held at Kansas City to
vote accordingly"
Tie convention of 1901 may not deem
it expedlent to Instruct for Parker but 1t
may accomplish the same result by en-
dorsing the candidacy Of the New York
jurist and there is now every indlca-
ton that the convention will at least s
go that far.
But Mr.. Button Is quite right In say
