The Moriah Union Begging

Mr.. EDITOR Will you please
allow me space in your valuable
paper for the following appeal to
the churches of the Moriah
Union ? At the last session of
the Union, owing to the very
cold weather, there were but few
Of the churches represented and
no application was made for the
next Union. Your committee on
time and place feel under no OBJ
legation to give the Union q home
un.ess some church applies for
it. Therefore, brethren, if you
desire the next Union to meet
with your church, please com.
municate same to your committee
on time and place, namely, ]. f.
M. Estridge, TaXahaw, S. c..
B. F. Adams, Flint Ridge, S. G.. f;
'. A. Liugle, Dwight, S. G..
We make this appeal in order
that the churches may nave time
to consider the matter, and to
send in their applications in
time for the committee on pro.
gram to arrange for .he meeting.
Please dom. delay in sending in
your applications, as the first
may be the lucky one. The next
meeting will convene on Friday
before the fifth Sunday in May,
provided it gets any place to
convene.
Brethren, when I was but a
youth ! we'll remember that at
every meeting of the Union there
were several applications, and a
discussion ensued as to which
church should have the Union
but now at nearly every meeting
the Union must beg a home 81

is the matter? Is the Union of
no Use to the cause of religion
or are our people becoming more
Indifferent to the cause of our
Lord, when every other enter
prise fostered by man is on the
onward march? May this never
be, is our prayer, for Christ's
sake.

BRYAN PERFECTLY CONSISTENT

No man can truthfully charge Mr..
Bryan with inconsistency. His course,
since the day he entered the political
field, has been as true as the needle
to the pole. He believes in the i'm
mortality of the democratic party. He
believes that no permanent good can
ever come to the people except
through the agency of that party.
That being SO, he believes his first duty
as a citizen is to sustain that party,
to build it up, to help perpetuate it..
Every act of his political life is in ac-
cordance with that belief When he
advocated the Kansas City platform,
he did it with the honest belief that
it was the way to perpetuate the dem
ocratic party, and to uphold those
principles would bring the masses of
the people to its support. When he
advised supporting the democratic
candidates in Iowa he thought that
was the best thing for the party He
said, although the platform was bad.
the candidate was good. In the Ohio
contest he was still consistent in the
support of the democratic party. In
that case he said that although the
candidate was bad, the platform was
good. In the present case he is still
consistent, and now says that al
though both the candidate and plat
form are bad, the main thing being the
perpetuation of the democratic party
they must be supported That position
is perfectly consistent with every act
of his political life Bryan is the most
consistent man that ever rose to
prominence in the political world. Ev-
cry assertion that Bryan is inconsist-
ent in supporting Parker is absolutely
false

The question is not whether popul-

the coming election for straight pop

want TO know is, how many men there
are in this state who have manhood
and patriotism enough to refuse to
stand up and be counted as members
of either wing of the plutocratic
forces. How many men are there in
this state who will declare that they
will fight plutocracy until death? If
there are not enough of them to give
hope for success sometime in the fu-
