Who Killed Cock RobIn7

A town that never has any thing to
do in a public way is on the road to
the cemetery. Any citizen who will
do nothing for his town is helping to
dig the grave. A man that will cuss
his town furnishes the coffin. The
one who is so selfish as to have no time
from his business to give to the city
affairs is making the shroud. The
merchant who will not advertise is
driving the hearse. The man who is
always pulling back from any public
enterprise throws bouquets on the
grave. The man who is so stingy and
selfish as to be always bowling hard
times preachers the funeral and sings
the doxology and thus the town lies
buried free from all sorrow and care.

a PREAcHER'S PAY.

A Massachusetts, town has
preacher who retained a $500 pas
torate rather than accept one at s., 200
This is probably the rule that proves
the rule.
When a preacher has two calls Il
duty, one at So, 500 and the other al
81 200, the road is generally a plair
one. Certainly.
Why should he hesitate to accept
the 81, 900 position if the location is a
pleasant one?
1t is his Christian duty as well as
his material advantage to do so.
The man with $1,000 year is bet
ter equipped for good work in any
walk in life than is the man who gets
only $500.
He can feed and clothe himself and
his family better, secure advantages
in education and refinement, devote
himself to his profession diligently
and not have to scramble at some
thing else to keep bread and butter
and a little ham in the house.
Success brings success. Who can
doubt that the lawyer or doctor who
is making good money is a more in
fiuential man in his profession than
is the one who barely gets along?
In any profession you care to con-
slider, money helps to standing and
increased success.
The common comment about preach
ers looking at the matter of compen-
sation rater than to the plain and I'M
vanished business of saving souls is
usually by thoughtless or mean
spirited people.
Part of preachers Christian duty,
as of every other man, is to look out
for the welfare of his wife and child
rem, as other men do.
He ought to have enough money to
enable him to make a good appear
ance and enjoy his friends, and it is
perfectly proper for him to lay up a
little agains a rainy day-for preach
ers like other people, grow old and
helpless, and to the shame of Christ
ian people it must be said that

JEFFERSON ON JESUS.

The following extracts are taken
from Thomas Jefferson's Syllabus of
the Merits of the Doctrines of Jesus. s"
Writings of Thomas Jefferson
Monticello edition. vol.x PIP. 3S1-SS5:
His parentage was obscure, his
condition poor, his education null, his
natural endOwments great, his life
correct and innocent; he was meek,
benevolent, patient, firm, disinter-
ested and of the sublimest eloquence. :"
His life and doctrines fell on I'M
lettered and ignorant men, who wrote
from memory and not until long after
the transactions were passed"
1.-The doctrine which he really de-
ivered were defective as whole and
fragments only of what he did deliver
have come to us mutilated, misstated,
and often unintelligible.
Notwithstanding these dissdvan-
tages, system of morals is present
ed to US, which, if filed up in the
style and spirit of the rich fragments
he left US, would be the most perfect
and sublime that has ever been taught
by man."
His moral doctrines, relating to
kindred and friends, were more pure
and perfect than those of the most
correct philosophers, and greatly
more so than those of the Jews, and
they went far beyond both in incul-
eating uni yersal philanthropy, hot
only to kindred and friends, to neigh
bOrs and countrymen, but to all man
kind, gathering all into one family,
under the bonds of love and charity,
peace, common wants and common
aids"
He pushed his scrutinies into the
heart of man; erected his tribunal in
the region of his thoughts and puri-
fed the waters at the head"

the PASSING or TIE HORSE.

Mr.. r. II. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record, and, in many
respects, the best versed man in the
country, in a recent communication
to his paper reprinted the following
startling phrophecies:
SIN the course of few years there
will not be a street-car in all New
York" Such was the prophecy of a
mechanical expert who has built and
rebuilt more street railways than any
man in this country. l was talking
with this man on the train about the
ever-increasing perplexities of urban
transportation in Manhattan, as dis
cussed by Mr.. Grasty in last weeks
Manufacturers Record. The fOrego-
ing almost startling prediction was
followed by this statement of facts
(almost equally astonishing to those
who have not kept up with the growth
of the automobile interests), which
tends to prove its probability: Five
years ago there were no automobiles.
During the last twelve months our
automobile output exceeded in value
all the locomotives built in America
by 100000 900, and the industry is
scarcely out of its infancy. The troll
ly car and draft horse will go together;
there is no room in the crowded streets
for either.'n

THE OLD IlmE CAMP MEETING.

The old style camp meeting is be-
ing rapidly side tracked these new
tangled days for the stilted ''protract-
ed" meeting which people attend if
they can find time from household du-
ties. With business ringing in the heads
of the few men who go, and dinner
causing an anxious twitch in the faces
of the women, the Lord gets mighty
little consideration in the up-to-date
protracted meeting. In the good old
days of long ago, once year people
dropped their secular business, and in
some cool, sequestered spot where a
lazy spring struggled through the
bung hole of a barrel, or dripped over
the messy rim of a sunken box, an
arbor was built, and around it tents
or temporary structures of wood. A
couple of weeks was given over to the
service of the Lord, and a campaign
inaugurated against the Devil. In
those days none of these hop-and-go-
fetch-it-ditties were sung, as now, but
the good old hymns that stirred the
heart and brought salvation down.
The grove meeting was a valuable
auxiliary, and the after meeting, full
of groanings of repentance, was an
effective adjunct. They have gone,
all gone, and religion, like every
thing material, is being rebound in
de luxe edition, according to modern
plans and methods. And yet why
should not the church improve in all
its ways and means, as well ar any
thing else? Why should not the Cos
pei Wagon now be a rubber-tired au-
tomobile or the old Ship of Zion a
Hamburg Liner?-Idler in Comanche
Chief.

q BRIGHT OUTLOOK.

ROBERT W. DAVIS IN PALATKA NEWS.
You have been kind enough to ask
me TO write an article giving my
views generally and briefly on the po-
| litical situation so that you might in
1 sert it in the News as a signed edito-
rial. Your request is not only fatter-
ing to me but gives me an opportunity
which I gladly accept.
There is, of course, no doubt of the
success of the democratic ticket in
Florida and there ought not to be, be-
cause we have an excellent list of
nominees. do not know of a single
man on the state ticket who is not a
conservative, safe, honest and intelli-
gent gentleman and have no misgiv-
ings or apprehensions as to the safe
conduct of state affairs under the
coming administration of Mr.. Brow
ard and those who will serve under
him.
We do not want to go back to the
evil DAYS of carpet-bagism in Florida
and therefore we should allow no
scisms or breaches to creep into DEM
ocrgtic ranks. 1 hope to see very
full vote given in the coming election
for our state and congressional candi-
dates.
In this day and time when the re-
publican members of congress are
constantly threatening legislation in
tended to cut down our representa-
ton in congress and in the electoral
college we should see to it that we
poll a full vote and that no excuse
shall be given those who would cut
down our representation and lessen
our influence in the councils of the
nation.
The republicans of Florida have ev-
identity determined to make a "good
showing this year and we should be
on the alert.
As to our national ticket, I do not
hesitate to say that 1 believe-can-
didly believe-that we will achieve
success. Why should we not? Dem
ocratic principles stand for economy
and honesty in governmental af-
fairs; fairness and justice to all
classes of our people; equal privileges
and opportunities to all; a firm adj
herence to the principles of the
fathers and against those practices
and acts which disregard and over
ride the constitution and are now
known as ''Rooseveltism."
We have a presidential ticket that |
stands for democratic principles. |
Parker and Davis are both men of |
character. Neither one of them are |
politicians. They are conservative, |
honest and patriotic. They are clean
and upright Americans who love their |
country and their countrymen. They |
ought to be and will be elected.

a Short But Pretty Sermon.

praises and love are in the air. Peo-
pie kiss the dead when they never
stay to kiss the living; they hover
over the casket in hysterical sobs, but
fail to throw their arms around the
loved ones who are fighting the stern
battle of life. A word of cheer to the
struggling soul in life is worth more
than all the roses in christendom
piled high on the casket covers. The
dead cannot smell the flowers but the
living can. Scatter them broadcast
in their pathway, therefore, and pluck
out the thOrns before it is too late

Mrs. Campbell is scarcely known by
any other name than ''Aunty" to all
