: This letter contains pleasing informs

t section, he is undoubtedly in a position t
give valuable information. The Missi,

men to talk on diversification. and tn
A. & M. College, with its excellent corp
of speakers, will be prepared to give in

This special will be an innovation in tn
South, and is capacitated to do grea
good if the people will show an interes
and come to meet the train at its sew

awakened is proven by the inquiries thai

A lack of respect for the Christian ,e
ligion is to be deprecated above all
things, and the following sermon read a
young man by one of our bright South
Mississippi papers is worthy wide cir
culatiOn
eve heard one of our young men MAX
ing sport of religion in front of our Of
flee the other day. His mustache had
just begun to sprout, and judging from
his talk his mental faculties were not so
well developed as his mustache. During
our brief stay upon earth we have seen
many just such young men cold in death.
We have seen the atheist at rest in his
casket, but before being consigned to
their last resting place they have all
been carried through the doors of
church and had prayers said over them.
This young man could scoff at religion
in his strength and beauty of health
but if the dark angel should hover over
him he would instinctively regret what
he had said and look into the future
with fear and trembling. When one
stands before the open door of eternity.
his desire to scOff at religion quickly
vanishes. We admit that there are bad
men IN the church, but even these black
sheep in the flock might be blacker if
they were outside. No young man. or
old one, either, should condemn the noble
efforts of the army of Christian men |
and women being made towards the bet |
terment of conditions in general. AnG |
whether we attend church or not few of
us would desire to live in a community
where there was no church or influence of
christian people to be felt. Young man,
in the future, if you must scoff at relic-
on. please get little further from our
ofiice if you do not want to see your
name in print"
