F.E. &C.U. OF A. PICNIC AT TIP,

F. e. & c. U. OF A. PICNIC AT TIP
The bumper celebration of 1907
was given by the Farmers Uuion,
at Tip, last Saturday, in which
several hundred people participant
ed.
Congressman R. B. Macon,
Senator Jeff Davis, State Lecturer
II. Beecher Lewis and Represen-
tative E. M. Carl-Lee addressed
the people on the principles of the
Farmers Union.
Senator Davis very severly at
tackled the vote of Mr.. Carl-Lee in
the last Legislature, relative to the
Lee-Browning Insurance bill, and
also went after Speaker Hamitel
and John Ike Moore. The Sena-
tor, too, failed to show his love for
any Of the members of the general
assembly who supported the above
bill.
There was a good dinner and
plenty of it for the large number
of visitors, estimated at about
1850.
The Farmers Union is grand
organization and not-with- standing
the great benefits already derived,
there is still more good to come.
After hearing the talk by H. Bee
cher Lewis upon this occasion, we
can't see why every farmer don't
join this band of brothers who are
striving for his benefit the same as
their own.
Everybody seemed to be well
pleased with the days celebration
and the good work being done by
the Farmer Union. May we
have the pleasure of spending an
other day, soon, as we did this
one, mingling with the best peo-
pie that the sun ever shown upon.

DISCUSS BIRTH OR CHRIST
Baptists Say Virgin Belief Is Not
Essential to Christianity.
DispRra cement Between Gospels of
Matthew and Luke PrecipitHtes
Debate in Congress.

Special to Tho Washington Hr-ald.
Baltimore. Md. Nov l2-It was de-
clared by several speakers, and applauded
by the delegates, az the twenty-ffth an
nual Baptist Congress. in session here to-
day, that belief in the Virgin birth Of
Christ was not essential 10 Christianity.
Rev. DR.. J. W. Phillips, Of Binghamton.
y. Y, said:
THE doctrine Of the virgin birth in
these times is nonessential to true
Christian life, as Christ, the Saviour OF
mankind. transcended His birth, no mat
ter in what manner He came into the
world, and that He should be loved for
the good that He had bestowed upon
mankind"
Rev. DR.. George a. Ferris. Of PhEadeI-
phia, touched upon the fact that Martin
Luther considered # significant that
Christ, during His whole life on earth
among men. never once referred TO His
mother as virgin. Again. he called at
tention to the fact that in Matthew it
was stated that there was a state OF un-
preparedness for the coming of Christ.
while in Luke 1t was asserted all was in
=
doubt among many as 70 whether Mary.
the mother OF Christ. was really a Virgin.
Prof. Fred L. Anderson. Of Newton
Center Mass, said:
Admitting that there is a disparage-
ment between Matthew and Luke. it does
not make null anC void the fact that
Christ was Of virgin birth. 1t must be
considered that the exact manner in
which Christ came into the world was
not known for a certainty at the period
that Matthew's gospel was written. and
that definite knowledge had been given
to the world regarding our Saviour's
birth when Luke wrote his gospel As
far as is known something ike tve years
interviewed between the writing OF the
two gospels, and the church has accept
ed the facts pertaining TO Mary and
Christ as related In Luke"
When Professor Anderson concluded
Rev. Phillips read his paper dealing
with the other phase of the topic and il
was discussed for a period Of % minutes
by Professor John r. Slater, OF Roches-
ter, y. Y. Professor Slater's address
proved one of the most interesting made
during the afternoon, and he was warm
ly applauded when he declared that the
