The speeches delivered on the subject
Of the anti-modernist oath in the course
Of the debate In the upper house of the
Prussian diet on the third reading of the
estimates, show how intense Is the feel
ing produced in Germany by the recent
papal DEGREES.
Count Yorck Won Wartenburg, who
1ened the discussion, contended that
lie Vatican would have done better to
onsult the Prussian government before
ting its deerees In this country,
Ad admitted that the requirement that

May Lead to Separation.
What was. perhaps. the most impor-
tant utterance OF Count Yorck was his
statement: IF this policy be continued
by the papal chair I am convinced that
1t will result in the introduction into
this country OF the problem of the separa-
ton Of church and state"
His eminence Cardinal Won Kopp, the
Prince Bishop Of Breslau and one Of the
leading Roman Catholic dign. taries in
Germany, declared that the papal DEGREES
contained nothing new, and required of
Roman Catholic teachers only what every
believing Roman Catholic must be pre-
pared to subscribe to. He added tina, tn :
Roman Catholic bishops and clergy in
Germany fervently desired peace aud
would always use every endeavor -
make the interests of the church har-
mon re with those of the state.
Prof Kuster Of Marburg University re-
piled that Protestants in Germany were
absolutely peaceably inclined, but that
nevertheless. and through the attitude Of
the Vatican. relations between the two
faiths were be, oming worse from year to
year. He appealed to his Protestant fell
ow-countrymen to avoid everything that
might tend to stir up strife. and ad-
dressed to the government the exhorta-
ton: ''Videant Consules."

DECLINE OF COTTON
 HAS BEEN CHECKED

Memphis, August 27.-The Commercial win say:
 The decline in the condition of the cot ton plant, which set in several veeks ago, has been checked in the two Caro- linas Georgia and Alabama, or has ceased altogether by reason of more favorable weather, rain having fallen in the Caro- lnas and dry weather supervened in the two latter states. Cotton is early in the Atlantic states and without more rain will now open rapidly. A fair crop is assured and a large one seems a possibil ity despite the deterioration that has been suffered.
 In Mississippi, Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisiana excessive rainfall contin- ued during the week, and some of the reports take a very gloomy view of the outlook. The chief damage has resulted from shedding of young forms by reason of the rank growth of the stalk and from boil weevi in the southern part of the Mississippi valley territory. It isNevi- dent. however, that bright weather would
 vastly reduce present estimates of dam 1 age.
 i extreme heat accompanied by burn 1 ing sun and hot winds caused a quick
 setback to cotton, which had but late- l ly taken on fresh growth from rain i The plant was being forced to an early l maturity but rains toward the close of
 the week put an end to the condition and hold out a promise of better re- 1 turns next week. AS most correspon- dents state, there is yet time to derive benefit from the rains
 Cotton is moving very freely to mar ket where any picking is being done.

preparations for the holding of the cleo ton in this county, and they hope to be able to file a petition and get the elec- tion called for some time during the month of November. It is hardly prob able, however, that any saloons will be opened in Cullman before the first of next year.
 It is strongly believed that Cullman will follow in the footsteps of Jefferson when the election is held. The prohibitionsts, however, will make a hard fight to keep the saloon from Cullman county, and they hope that if they are not able to keep the country dry. they may be able to get the dispensary, which they con- sider the less of the two evils. The dis pensary idea is quite popular in this county, and it may be that, Cullman will choose this mode of dealing with tEe liquor traffic. It is almost certain that the county will go wet, but whether the open, regulated saloon or dispensary will be chosen remains to be seen.
 The local optionists claim that they will have little trouble in securing enough names to the petition calling for the elec- ton to finish out the required 45 per cent of the qualified voters. A large number have already signed some time ago when the petition was first circu- lated

MOORE DISCUSSES
 TWO COVENANTS'
Begins Series of Sermons on Relation of Old to
 New Testament

The subject of pr. Allen R. Moore sermon at the First Christian church last might was "The Two Covenants
 The discourse was the beginning ot series on the relation of the old Testa- . ment to the New Testament, or the new covenant to the old and of Juda- ism to Christianity. The text upon which pr. Moore based his theme was the closing verses of the Sth chapter of Hebrews.
 Dr. Moore said that there were many covenants made by God with different individuals but that the covenants to which he had reference in the subject of his sermon were those made with the children of Israel.
 "The old covenant as spoken of by Paul. relates to that made with Israel through Moses when God took them out of-Egypt It was presented first in brief, and then in elaborated form. 1t contaned the promise of God that If the people of Israel would keep his law, he would be with and bless them.
 Ut is here that the first mention of the Sabbath is made. There is no record that the Sabbath had ever been kept previously. And the Sabbath was given the Israelites. not in remem- brance of Gods resting on that day, but in commemoration of their deliver ance from the bondage of Egypt. It was typical of the future deliverance from the bondage of sin.
 But Paul says that the old things. meaning the old covenant, have passed away Paul is quoting the prophecy of Jeremiah, who had foretold that the old covenant would be done away with. because the people were not able to keep it. The law has been changed as to the priesthood, as to the day of monies of the church. The old cove nant has been annuled, and is no longer binding. All of its essential teachings. however, have been re-en- acted in the sermon on the mount, but they are binding, not because they were in the old law. but because they have been enacted.
 "The new covenant is better than the old; it's promises are better than were those of the Mosaic law. Under the old covenant, Gods promises were tem- poral-they were promises of wealth and home and friends-but under the new. no riches are promised, nor home, nor friends, bu tthe promise Is to be merciful to our sins and to remember them no more. Under the old cove nant we had access to God through Moses; under the new, through Chriss Jesus The old law was written on tables of stone; the new, on the fleshy tables of the heart. The old Sabbath was day on which there was to be absolute rest; the new is a holy day, more sacred than the old
