A BIBLE STUDENT GIVES SOME
INTERESTING FACTS.

Dear Sir: A friend has put into
my hands the last August number
of your 'tWatson's Magazine which
l have read with interest. I am in
entire sympathy with your anti
Roman Catholic work, and | rejoice
in what you are doing.
There is one thing, however, on
p. 256, 1st column, that is SO much
awry that I venture to hope you will
be glad to have it pointed out and
corrected.
Speaking of Davfd's heinous sin
in the matter Uriah's wife, it is
said: "A man after Gods own heart.
Let us hope that the Jewish scribe
was mistaken about that" Oh, no!
the Jewish scribe was entirely right,
as we will see.
There is among Bible students
what is called locating scripture
When the text, ga man after Gods
own heart, is rightly located, moth
ing can rightfully be said against it.
If you will get the events of Da-
vid's life, in their order, his moral
. and spiritual history, as recorded in
the Bible, is clear and Ineligible
The record represents him as exem-
plary down till the death Of Samuel,
and then, his mentor gone, as de-
teriorating. While, as king, he dis
played great virtues of leadership,
in certain respects the deterioration
continued. Too much he let the I'M
scrupulous Joab have his own way.
He neglected his duties to his de-
ceased friend, Jonathan, and to the
national worship. His downward
course continued until, in the matter
of Uriah, he plunged into the low
est depths. Then came a repentance
that was as thorough as the down
fall had been great. AS a record of
contrition, confession, and recovery,
his soul-portrayal of experience in
the Fifty-frst Psalm has never been
surpassed. His renewed character
controlled the remainder of his life,
though he was hampered and har-
assed by the consequences Of his bad
past. 1t should be understood, and
should not be forgotten that it is the
repentent David whom the record
mentions as the man after Gods own
heart. And surely with this oft
animadverted text Of Scripture right
ly located, nothing can justly be said
against it, certainly with respect to
the repented-of and forgiven sin
noted; or in any other respect un-
less there was subsequently some
thing to be eprehended, (which
there was not, SO far as the record
goes.
Very truly yours,
WILLIAM H. BATES.

THE JEFFERSONIAN

the Roman Catholics of all the
world would die for the right of the
Pope. He is the head Of the
church, and they would die for the
church. And the church is the
church Of Jesus Christ, and they
need not have misgivings on that
score; there need be no misconcep-
lions there-the Roman Catholics of
the world are Roman Catholics first
and always; they are Americans,
they are Germans, they are French.
and they are English afterwards.
Tell us that we think more of
the church than we do of the United
States; Of course we do. Tell us
we are Roman Catholics first and
Americans and Englishmen after
ward of course we are. Tell us, in
the conflict between the church and
the civil government we take the
side of the church; of course we do.
Why, if the Government of the
United States were at war with the
church we would say tomorrow, to
He'll with the Government of the
United States, and if the church and
all the governments of the world
were at war we would say to He'll
with all the governments of the
world"
Protestants who are in the habit
Of praising Romanists should do
penance by being forced to read this
diatribe once day for at least
thirty days.
Few Roman Catholics are so well
prepared to speak tor the Roman
Catholic Church as his "Rivirince,"
Mr.. Phelan. His position as editor
and also that Of pastor, gives him a
comprehension of the spirit of
Romanism that few others possess.
According to his own statement
Roman Catholi are not, and in the
nature of the case, cannot be loyal
American citizens. Their first ale
glance is to the Pope, and hence it
is not difficult to divine the attitude
of the average Roman Catholic in
case Of war between America and
the Sick Man of the Tiber.
Mr. Phelan's statement is worthy
Of more than cursory consideration,
in view Of the fact that the recent
Governor of West Point was
Roman Catholic, and that many Of
the officers of our Navy are Roman
Catholics.
We most seriously protest against
the statement in which the editor OF
the Waterman" conditionally
places the American Government,
and it's loyal citizens, as it is our
hope that neither of these will be
pastered by the presence of this bel
1icose editor in the hereafter.

A LETTER FROM AN UNRECON-
STRUCTED REBEL.

Dear Sir: I was pleased to see in
the "Jeffersonian" of the 26th in
slant that "Three Old Vets had the
courage to come out in the open and
tell the people of the country of the
shameful manner in which one of
their comrades was treated when he
applied for admission to the Con-
federate Home at Atlanta. I am sor-
ry to note, however, that these
Three Old Vets" did not come to
Mr.. Royals aid with the two dol
lars necessary in order to save him
embarrassment and the disgraeefuI
thing of having his belongings
dumped out of his trunk by a "bur
head"
should like to know what the
Three Old Vets" were doing while
the "bur head was dumping the
contents Of Mr.. Royals trunk? If
they were not engaged at the time
IN saving life or something Just as
important, why did they allow their
comrades things to be dumped?
They possibly could not have COM
PEELED those beings Ct am not calling
them human) in authority at the
Home to admit Mr.. Royal, but they
could have prevented the "bur head"
from taking his trunk. Their action
in allowing this niger" hackman
to humiliate and embarrass one of
their comrades in SO shameful a
manner is not very commendabIe for
men of their standing.
am an ex-soIdier NOT of Tho
Civil War, however, as l had not
been born at that time. Had [ been
OF an age that I could have entered
the conflict, l most certainly would
have fought for my Southland with
as much vigor as I would have dis
played had I been present, in order
to save one Of my comrades being
Inundated
Being an Albanian by birth and
a Georgia cracker" by adoption, I
sincerely hope that an investigation
will promptly be made Of the adj
ministration of the Georgia Con-
federate Home, and that some one
will be placed in command of the
Home who will at least have some
consideration for the feelings Of the
old men who are entitled to the bene-
fits thereof. The men Of the Con-
federacy are without a predecessor
and whom 1 hope will never have a
successor.
The last muster roll for a great
many has already been prepared
and only few days stand between
them and that great beyond, and it
should be our greatest pleasure to
show them every consideration DUR
ing these few days they are to be
with us.
