duty of the preacher to instruct the
people in the right moral use of the
ballot as it is the duty of the politi-
cian to instruct them in the right po-
litical use of it. just here is where

desire to put Mr.. Latimer and
every other politician in South Caro-
lima on notice here and now that we
are not going to give way, for we re-
gard the moral espect of the right of
franchise and of every political ques-
tion graver and more important than
the political aspect. 1t is the duty
of the preacher to teach the people
how to be religious at the polls as
well as in the home, how to be re-
ligious in the right use of the ballot
as in the right use of the sacrament.
One trouble with our commonwealth.
to-day is that the preacher has
yielded too much to the politician
and the people have needed the poll
tician more than they have the
preacher.

The reporter also said that Bishop
Duncan said "Who dragged this
dispensary question in here any
how? The preachers took the hint
and the dispensary was not men
toned again" The insinuation was
that the preachers were afraid of
Bishop Duncan. In the first place
the preachers have no reason to be
afraid of Bishop Duncan and in
the second place, as matter of fact,
they are no more afraid of Metho.
dist Bishop than they are OF a
United States Senator. The con-
sensus of opinion was that enough
had been said on the subject and we
would let the matter drop. Upon
this Mr.. Latimer insisted more
strongly than any one else. Nobody
blamed him, for it was evident to all
that he had not only been worsted in
the discussion, but was woefully in
the minority.

All doctors are not so careful Of

might be. Here is a story of one who
went to the limit. He is the proprie-
tor of a famous health resort not far

relates the Washington star.
Not long ago a w%eli-known clergy
man went TO this resort for treatment.
The doctor looked him over upon his
arrival and said:
while you are here you must take
long walks every day.
But I can't take walks" replied
the parson. Il haven't done any walk
ing for years. My heart won't stand
IT."
They argued the question quite
warmly. As the clergyman and doc
tor we're good friends. the latter was
more lenient than usual. However,
he bided his time. The next after
noon the physician said to the clergy
man:
ITS a nice day. | would like you
to go horseback riding with me-"
Riding they went. when they were
about eight miles from the sanitarium
the physician said: "Oh, doctor. won't
you get me that flower by the road
side? don't like to leave this
horse"
As soon as the clergyman was on
the ground the doctor galloped of
with both horses. and the clergyman
was compelled TO walk back to the
ssnitarium. Upon his arrived he was
very angry. and was for packing up
and leaving at once. There was no
train that night. so he was forced TO
stay a few hours longer. The next
morning he came down radiant and
