DANCING and
CARD PLAYING
Not Specifically Prohibited by
M. <. Church South.

Rev. Howard Dutill, pastor OF the
First Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, at Tampa, was recently interview
ed by the Tampa Tribune as 10 the atti-
tude OF the Methodist Church, South, on
the subject of worldly" amuSements.
The interview was brought about be-
cause of the recent recommendations of
the board of bishops of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at the General Con-
ference in Minneapolis, Mimi, that the
ban be taken off of dancing, card play
ing, theater going and other kindred
amusements, leaving each church mem
Der at liberty to decide, according 10
the dictates of his own conscience, what
course he should pursue in regard TO
them.
"The next General Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church, South"
said Rev. Dutill, twill not meet until
1914, but do not believe that any such
question will be brought up as that at
the conference of the Methodist EpiS-
copal Church. While all churches
have preached more or less against So
called worldly pleasures the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South, has never
seen fit to enforce any particular. code
on its members, although they are be.
sought TO avoid pleasures which do not
uplift them.
THE Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, has held fast TO the old rule by
which members are required TO enter
into no pleasure which cannot be car,
ried out in the name of Christ The
rnle is to do nothing that could not be
done with Christ present. We believe
that God sees everything that is done
anyway. AS TO what cannot be done in
that spirit is left to he members.
"The Methodist Episcopal Church,
South, has never enumerated a list of
things forbidden, but the Methodist
Episcopal Church has specified them.
presume the change was recommended
because the bishops saw that the people
were not observing the rules. No
change is necessary in the Methodist
Episcopal Church, South.
''ln the Tribune few days ago ap-
peared very unjust editorial paragraph
which said that the rasing of the ban on
dancing would prevent many Methodists
from being hypocrites. A hypocrite is
someone who represents himself 10 be
one thing and, in secret, is another, and
does not refer to person following his
honest convictions. Ii is pity that the
young people do not better understand
the attitude of the church toward such
things as simply intended 10 uplift and
lead 10 higher levels of living"

EXPLAINING DIFFERENCE BE
TWEEN PARADISE AND
HEAVEN.

Dear Sir: In your Magazine for
February, appears letter to you
from Mr.. Cooley, asking for an expla-
nation of Luke 23:43, and John
20:17. You head his letter and
your answer with these words:
An Apparent Conflict in Scrip
tural Narrative" But, in your reply
you speak in stronger terms, saying:
contradict Himself"
You both seem to think that there
is conflict between the two pass
ages. I feel you are wrong, and
kindly ask you to consider my expla-
nation. Mr.. Cooley seems to be
impressed with the idea that heaven
and paradise are one, and the same
place. He is correct, and yet he is
wrong. There was time when they
were not the same, and later, when
they became the same place. No
doubt this statement may appear on
its face to be absurd, but the coHfus-
ion Of thought on this subject is due,
I think, to the fact that it has not
been studied in it's relation to the
death and gloriication of Jesus. If
we fail to consider the effect of the
death of Christ ON the dead, as we'll
as the living, we have failed don an
important consideration. 1t affected
heaven, earth, and hell. In the New
Testament these are two distinct
classes Of tevts referring to the state
of the righteous dead. Previous to
the death of Jesus there are several
illusions to what is called the inter
mediate state. Hades expressed the
state of the dead, without regard to

SUGAR SUPPLY AND CONSUME
TON OF THE UNITED
STATES. 1911.

Sugar consumption in the Emitted
States in the calendar year 1911,
exceeded that of any earlier year
The total quantity consumed in con-
tinental United States was, according
to the latest estimate of the Bureau
of Statistics, Department of Com
merce and Labor, 1870 million
pounds, or an average Of 81.7S
pounds per capita, against the for
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-04-25

mer high record of 8119 pounds per
capita in the fiscal year 1907.
These figures are official so far as
relates to the quantity brought into
continental United States during the
calendar year. from Hawaii, Porto
Rico, the Philippines, and from for
eign countries. To this the Bureau
has added the latest estimates of
sugar produced in the country during
1911, and by subtracting the official
figures of exports from the grand
total of imports and domestic pro-
duction, obtains total of 1870 mil
lion pounds, or practically 80 pounds
per capita, as the indicated consump-
ton of the calendar year 1911. Ten
years ago, in the fiscal year 1901, the
indicated consumption was IL bill
lion pounds, or II pounds per capita;
twenty years ago, in 1891, 3 ga bill
lion pounds, or 81 pounds per capita;
thirty years ago, in 1881, IA billion
pounds, or 43 pounds per capita; and
forty years ago, in 1871, 1 IL bill
lion pounds or SO 1-2 pounds per
capita
This very large total consumption
of sugar in the country in 1911
accom- panied an unusually heavy pro-
duction both in continental United
States and it's sugar-producing
islands, Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines. The quantity brought
from Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the
Philippines in 1911 exceeded in each
case that of any earlier year, and the
estimated production of beet sugar
in the country in 1911 was the larg-
est on record, though that Of cane
sugar was slightly below the average
of recent years. While the quantity
of sugar imported from foreign coun-
tries in 1911 fell somewhat below
the figures of 1910, the aggregate of
production in continental United
States, production in the no-contigu-
Gus territories, and imports from for
eign countries exceeds that Of any
earlier year, while the quantity
exported was smaller than in the
Immediately preceding year.
The quantity of sugar brought from
Hawaii, Porto Rico, and the Philip
pines has also increased greatly dur
ing the decade, that from Hawaii
having been in 1891, but 695 million
pounds, against 1 ,136 million in the
year just ended; and from Porto
Rico, 163 million pounds in 1901,
against 654 million in 1911. From
the Philippine Islands the increase
has been especially rapid since the
enactment of the present tariff law
which permits the importation free
of duty of limited quantities Of Phil
ippine sugar, and as a result the
quantity of sugar imported from the
Philippines in 1911 was 400 million
pounds, against 218 million in 1910,
108 million in 1909, and 1903 million
in 1908, the year Immediately pre-
ceding the enactment of the existing
tariff law
Approximately one-fourth of the
sugar consumed in the United States
is of domestic production, another
one-fourth is brought from the nom
contiguous territories, and the

and the bad alike. went into hades
For example, the rich man. Christ
and Lazarus.
e. Hades included both, paradise and
Tartarus. These were it's depart
ments. The former was the abode
Of the righteous, the latter of the
wicked. Since these representatives
of the two classes went to these dis
trict departments of hades, it follows
that all the race went to the same
places.
From all Of these statements, it fol-
lows conclusiyely, that previous to
the ascension and coronation of
Jesus, these was an intermediate
state of the righteous dead, called
Paradise, where they abode in COM
fort. Both Old Testament, and New
recognize this fact. But after the
ascension it is not once recognized
in the New Testament. This is sig
nifcent. All the teaching upon this
point after Christ's ascention uni
formly indicate a different state of
things.
For example, see case of Paul and
dying Stephens, 2 Cor. 5:14-4; 1872
4. Stephens prayer to Christ indi-
Gates that his spirit was not going to
Paradise, as the souls Of the right
eous had been doing from the begin
ninS, or, if so, that Paradise now
included the dwelling place Of God
and of His glorifed Son. This is
confirmed later by Paul's teaching
and experience He affirnes that
Wy ;c oh
he is present with the Lord. The
body is represented as our home
while we remain in it, but when we
depart from it, We are at home with
the Lord. The body-house is
exchanged for house not made with
hands. And this house is in the
heavens. 1t is not, then, in Para
disc, unless Paradise has been
removed from hades to heaven itself
Now this is what was done after
Christ's ascension, as we learn from
Paul's experience. In this, he found
Paradise in the third heaven He
was caught up into Paradise"
even to the third heaven This
place is the seat Of God, and the holy
angels, into which Christ assembled
after His resurrection.
Previous to the glorifcation of
Christ Paradise was in hades. Now
it is in heaven. Every passage after
the resurrection so teaches. Heaven
and hades are two very distinct
places. How, then, shall we reconcile
these two district classes of clear
Scripture texts, one of which locates
Paradise, the home of the good, in
hades, and the other as clearly
locates it in heaven itself, in the pres.
ence of the Lord and the holy.
angels? Answer: Paradise was
the abode of the righteous in hades
till the ascension and glorifeation Of
Jesus; then it was removed to
heaven, and that department of
hades was abolished. This PROPOSE
ton obviates any real or apparent
contradiction between Luke and
John. AT the time Christ spoke to
the thief, and little later to Mary,
the removal of Paradise to heaven
had not been accomplished, This
occurred after the Savior's ascension
into heaven. But why was Paradise
located in hades before the glorifica-
ton of Christ, and why was the
removal made afteryards? Till then,
it was necessity. After that, the
necessity no longer existed. There
are interesting questions, and if any
requests by the readers are made, l
will gladly demonstrate the truth Of
the necessity.
