BELIEF IN GODS PROMISE
DIR. Reed illustrates Power OF Faith
i'm Sermon Last Night.

The second week OF the evangelistic
meetings at the First Baptist church
closed last night with a good attend
ance, after a sermon by the pastor
on Faith in Jesus-Its Nature and
Suficiency." BY simple illustrations
the nature OF faith was shown TO be
belief OF Gods promise, just az we
would believe the word or the letter
of friend. We are acting on faith ey-
cry day, as often as We keep an en-
gagement with any person. We go,
trusting that he will keep his word
and also be there. Faith was shown
to be sufficient for salvation, without
baptism as a help In any way. Bap-
lists do not baptize in order to make
Christians, nor 10 complete the work
OF conversion, but because the con-
vert Is already saved, and only when
they believe that the Inversion ana
are complete. Then they
baptize the saved person as an act OF
obedience TO Christ, 10 show forth IN
form the experiences already
enjoyed. The announcements for the
coming week will be made tomorrow.

ARE TWO CLASSES.
There are two classes Of people.
one class believes that the way TO
eliminate corruption Is to turn on the
light and expose it. Every man in ILL
uois must find himself tonight in one
OF the two classes, and unless / am
mistaken in the sentiment Of the peo-
pie there is influence enough 10 ex-
pose 10 public view the corruption and
courage enough 10 visit upon it when
exposed a righteous condemnation II
il be true that Legislation has been
bought and sold like a commodity in
the market if IL be true that one OF
the departments OF government is on \
basis OF political commercial ism. then
/ submit it is hiEh time that the people
know il and that the people should
express their opinion about it. If it
be true that during the years Of our
prosperity the t-o great political part
les have not only debauched the gov
eminent but dehauched the electorate.
then who viii apolCgize and excuse
he leadership Of those parties?
DEFICIENCY - LEADER SHIP.
lis il not true that there is some rad
ical deficiency in the leadership of any
party when that leadership has found
it necessary to maintain its place by
rhe purchase of American citizens?
The declaration of independence con
tanned no word OF condemnation of the
form Of government of George Erd.
but the condemnation was directed
against the UsuTQatiOn of power and
the corruption of those in power. What
Is true Of other governments is true
OF This government. The moral fibre
of the people must in the long run
be a source of strength. 1t is the pride
Of our government that responds quick

and unless the voice Of the people ring
in clarion tones and the VIII of the
people is c righteous will. striking u

subscription letters, money-orders and bank
checks.
There is one, signed L. Bal5con, Griswold-
vile, Ga, renewing for both JEFFs and en-
closing money-order for $3.50, signed by H.
S. Edwards the Macon Postmaster.
Another is a subscription form, with two
names on it, sent in by n. B. Hathaway,
Wrightsville, Ga, and enclosing a check on
The Exchange Bank of that town.
Another is from j. j. Holly, of Green Cove
Springs, Fla, enclosing money order for
$3.50. This order had been torn to pieces.
Then there is check for $3.50 on The
Cumberland Valley National Bank, of Nash
vile, Tenn. The signer is William NJ. Frye.
There is also three-page letter from r.
V. Howe, of Meigs, Ga, enclosing letter of
one sheet from Congressman Roddenbery.
There is an order for "Sugar Shell" men
tioning the enclosure of 10 cents. The dime
as missing. The order and dime were from
Mrs. Edgar Young, of WATERFOWL, Tenn.
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1911-05-18

The fact that no effort was made to use the
checks and money orders; and the further
fact that letters marked ''Confdential" and
those to Mrs. Lyle had been opened, inclined
me to suspect that the rogue in the case was
not after money. But [ feel certain now,
that the work was that of thief-one or
both of the negro boys who have been bring
ing our noon mail on Sundays.
Just how much money has been stolen in
this way, it is impossible to guess. From the
number of people who claim to have sent in
subscriptions, but who have not got the paper
and magazine, | infer that the sum is con-
siderable.
To send money by mail, is extremely care
less and risky. We are not legally respon-
sible for cash thus lost The checks and
money orders can be used-the only loss be-
ing the letterwriting, and the delay and dis
satisfaction. People who failed to hear from
as, could not know that we had not heard
from them.

of that tragic field persisted, in order that
government Of for and by the people should
not die
Alas for the short-sightedness of men.
When Mr.. Lincoln put his official signature
to the National Bank act, and to the Morrill,
tariff, he was administering deadly poison to
the Republic. When he summoned armed men
to shoot down the democratic principle that
'0U government rests on the consent Of the
gO0e1med," he signed the death warrant of
popular self government.
and, before he died, he sa2c qnhat he had
done; AND BITTERLY DE'PLORED IT.
He viewed with intense gloom and fear the
rise Of the New Feudalism. He trembled at
the growth of the portentous Corporation.
He knew human nature; and he was terrified
at The Future, as it presented itself to his
prophetic mind
The old mail-clad Feudalism robbed and
oppressed; but, in return, it guaranteed 1r0rh
and protection.
The new Feudalsm robs and Expresses,
without guaranteeing either work or protec-
ton.
The Trusts are the Feudal Aristocracy of
Dollars. They buy Legislatures. They have
their attorneys appointed to lifetime Judge
ships. They dictate to Congress. They desig-
nate Cabinet officers. They decide who shall
be President. They use the Government as
an asset in their commerce with foreign coun-
tries. They stife the voice of the press. They
are able to secure the silence of the church.
They control the movements of our troops and
war vessels. They make our National treas
Ury branch-banz in their business. They

plunge the nation into another bOnd-ssue
whenever they need the bonds. They invent
new methods of squandering public money,
for no other purpose than to prevent the re-
ductlOn of taxes.
They outrageously tax the backs and the
bellies and the domiciles of the common peo-
ple-who have no net incomes-but strenu-
ously object to paying any tax on their own
enormous net incomes. They pillage their
own people, without stint or mercy; and then
gladden. the churches, with tremendous con-
tributions to Foreign Missions!
They get fool, or venal, courts to decide that
the right to earn net profits is part of their
property-whether natural persons have any
profit IN their business, or not.
If John Smith should 90 to court and con-
tend that any law is void, because it knocks
the profits out of his store or farm, the LAWYERS
would laugh him out of countenance Our
Internal tariff and financial laws do take away
the profits from thousands of farms and
thousands of stores; but nobody attacks the
laws on that ground Nobody contends that
the right to make profits IS conveyed in a deed
to land, or in a Bill-of-sale to merchandise
But the Corporations claim that THEY
OWN a right to make net profits; and that
any law which deprives them of reasonable
net profits, con6scates their mills, their
mines, their railroads, their stOck-yards!
And the fool courts have sustained that
monstrous contention of our Feudal Aristoc-
TacV.
Democracy? We have none. On the ruins
of ante-bellum democracy, has been erected
the most elaborate, the most greedy, the most
expensive, the most heartIess Aristocracy that
has ever cursed humanity

themselves to be blinded by partisan passions.

above named.
A monarchy is country governed by a
king. This IS one-man power, in operation.
An arlstocracy IS a country governed by a
few. This IS class-rule, in operation.
democracy is country ruled by all the
people. This is People-ism (Populism), in
operation.
Monarchies may be so greatly modified and
liberalized as to become, in reality, democratic
Thus, in Belgium, England and Germany the
monarchs are little more than ornamental
furniture, very expensive, but powerless
On the contrary, republic in which the
people are supposed to govern, through their
representatives, may become. in fact an arts
tocracy All power may be usurped by few
The laws may be made as these few want them
made. The machinery of government may be
run by these few, for the benefit of these few
In that case, Aristocracy is created; and it is
truth, we'll known to scholars, that the most
cruel Of governments is an Arstocracy. The

He began to examine them, and discovered
that there were letters addressed to me. Fur
ther explorations resulted in the finding of
quite a lot of my mail, which had been pushed
back into the cavity left by the rotting out
of the inner part of large lateral root.
Among the papers two editorials which I had

This article would not be complete
without a reference to Miss Annie
A. Barr, who, besides acting In the
capacity of secretary of the institu-
ton. is Mrs. Works Fright hand
man. to use an Irish term. Miss
Barr has been associated with Mrs.
Work in the earring of children for
20 years, and during that time, has
been close to Mrs. Work in the man
agement of her institution. Miss
Barr is peculiarly adapted to train
ing work, is sympathetic, and a
thorough mistress of detail. She
is believer In kindness as a factor
with which to win the hearts of the
children under her care, and that
she succeeds is evident 70 every
visitor to the institution. Miss Ruth

times illumines her countenance,

her hearty laugh. She is thoroughly

and from that day to this. the bust
ness has gone on increasing steadily.
AT present there are no less than
5000 lights supplied by Mr. Snoe-

which are used throughout the city,
and at the railway stations
Mr. Snoeberger's customers for
power. etc., number $50, and this
list is being added to from time to
time. 1t may seem strange but it is
nevertheless true, that those resi-
dents of Plymouth, who have come
in from the country to reside here,
will have nothing to do with any
other illuminant. They have had it
demonstrated to them that they can
save money by using electricity In
preference to gas or even Kerosene,
and that it also gives better satisfac-
tion.
The electric plant also feeds in

thirty H p: 200 electric fat-irons,
for ironing purposes, fan motors,
and in fact, everything in the cleo

its water by electricity, and this Is
a feature which has saved the rate
PAYERS a big sum of money. Before
the motors were introduced the city
pumped its water by steam at an
average cost of $4,000 per month.
