is pastor of the Fifth Avenue Baptist
Church, of which Governor Hughes is
a member. Further than this, he as
serts it is just as much the duty of a
church member to attend ward meet
ings and to vote at the primaries as it
is to take part in the affairs of his
church or to cast a ballot in the cleo
ton Of a pastor.
According to DR., Aked the proper
ton of regular church attendants who
frequently stay away from the polls on
election day and who seldom or never
take part in primaries or local meet
ings for the election of delegates to
conventions is larger than among n
other class. These delinquents, he
holds, are as much responsible for
corrupt conditions of government or
the election of unworthy men to pub
lie offices as are the heelers who buy
votes to accomplish this result or the
bar room hangers-on who sell their bal
lots.
The abuses that have arisen in the
past, says the Appleton article,
from the interference OF the church
in politics have been due to the fact
that religion was made political in
stead of politics being made religious,
Except under circumstances of extra
ordinary moral pressure the churches
as churches cannot enter the arena of
party politics. The church cannot be
come a caucus. Only the projection of
a supreme moral issue can warrant a
clergyman in publicly taking a posi-
ton as a party man. He may be per
mitted in his own heart to pray for a
party-if he is satisfied that it is not
past praying for. But the church can
and should undertake a more impor-
tant f~unction-one that underlies all
law and goyeTnment-the formation of
righteous public opinion. The church
cannot compel in this day and genera
ton. If it cannot inspire it is be-
cause it is no longer inspired and a
church without inspiration is a corpse
which people with decent regard to
health should quietly bury. The
church must teach that a Christian
can no more neglect the plain duties of
citizenship than he can neglect to pay
his debts. The religious man who
stands idly by and sees American poll
tics made a byword for dishonesty is
neither religious nor a man"

LETTER FROM TEXAS.

The following letter from a promi-

My Dear Sir: | wTTJe to acknowl-
edge my Indebtedness to some one for
a copy of the Greater Nashville Edi-
ton" Don't know VINO 1t can be, I'M
less it is yourself; however | take
great pleasure in congratulating you
on the splendid effort in the makeup
of that issue Of the paper.
/ have been receiving occasional
copies of your paper for several
months, and have on several occa-
sions spoken complimentary of it.
Your last issue was a record breaker
taking as criterion the favorable
comments heard on the streets of San
Antonio. May the good work con-
tinue. | am so highly pleased that l
authorize you to draw on me through
your agent here for a years subscrip-
ton.
l take the liberty 10 mail you un-
der separate cover a copy OF my book,
Our Family Physician" [ mailed a
copy of the book to his Excellency
Governor Campbell a few days ago,
and was at once appointed by him a
delegate to the International Con
gress on Tuberculosis, which con
venes in Washington, d. c., Septem-
Der 81 TO October II. [ am contem-
plating taking Nashville in my itin-
erary: if so l shall in all probability
call on the Globe staff, in that event
l shall write you before leaving
Washington.
The object of the book is to aid, if
possible, in checking the increasing
death rate among colored Americans.
Careful Investigation shows that so
per cent Of the dean rate now
among colored Americans is due to
tuberculosis, While among other
