ess shared this pleasing trait. Vikings,
Norsemen, Goths, Danes and other
red -haired rovers sailed circles about
the Roman Empire and harried or
conquered or helped people lands as
remote as England and Sicily, and all
that lay between.
Gladstone noticed that within his
long life red and fair haired persons
became less common In England. The
rarer the rudy locks the more they
are priced italian novelists often
describe heroinp as "blonda.
Titians pictured ladies have given
name to a particular shade OF red
hair. In France and Spain and Italy
1t is reckoned that red hair marks the
Iaristocrat, the descendant of conquer
ing races. Niceforo finds red-haIred
girls even In Sardinia and Sicily-of
Norman forebears doubtless. The
royal and noble families of all Europe
have a large proportion of red-haired
members. Americans were surprised
In 1893 at the rudy locks OF the visit
ing Princess Eulalia. Not typically
Spanish, perhaps, their warmth Of
tint, but royal red.
Another launching, long ago, was
sung by Kit Marlowe:
Was this the face that launched
thousand ships
And burnt the topless towers Of Ilium?
Yes, Helen OF Troy, whether mortal
woman or moon goddess immortaized,
was crowned with sunny locks. Speak

THE BAPTIST PoLITY

Baptist churches are congregational
In ". indeed a Baptist church
represents, the only pure democracy
On, earth. The pastor has no more
voice in the official doings Of the
church than any, other member, and
the youngest boy or girl has the same
right to initiate matters and to vote
as the most prominent and influential
man or woman. A pastor dess~not by
virtue of his position hold member
ship in any general body, but must be
chosen by the church Just as are 9TH
er representatives. ~ .
Bancroft, probabh~the greatest OF
American historic B, is quoted as say
Ing that the Constitution of the Unit
ed States Is modelled after the arti-
cles of faith Of country. Baptist
church in Virginia. 55-7
There is no convention, conference
synod or episcopacy which has ati-
thority over Baptist churches. Each
local body Is Independent and has no
vital union with other churches. ID
It's independence and democracy lies
a great element Of strength, for u"
local church absolutely Controls
own matters In every respect Il
Is no creed to which members are
quired to subscribe other than
Bible; and liberty of conscience

Remarks by Spectator

Although there was downpour all
morning yet a great multitude OF our
people assembled in the new Baptist
church last Sunday morning to re-
joice with and to show fraternal and
kindly feelings for their Christiaa
brethren and co-workers who have
Just finished their splendid house OF
worship. All.%of our people rejoice
with the Baptists in building their
magnificent temple, which, for beauty
of construction and for architectural
skill is, perhaps, unexcelled. In less
than forty years the congregation OF
three members has grown to be nu-
merically a power Of Christian prog
ress and factor in sweetenfng the
lives of our people. Under the lead
ership and inspiration of their beloved
pastor, the Rev. Louis Bristow, their
act in building this church Is perhaps
without a parellel in the history OF
any organization. ,
In the seventies, Mrs. Agnes w.
Quarles, Mrs. Stephen A. Braezeale
and Mr.. r. P. Quarles assembled to
organize the Baptist church at Alb
5eville, and the result has proved that
our Saviour has fulfilled his promise
| to this people when he said, FOR
L~hers two or three are gathered to.
gether in my name am In the midst
Of them" A clearer or more spe-
cific fulfillment of the Saviour's prom
ise is not to be found. Without hls
presence and without his inspiration
how could so small beginning ac.
complish such q glorious result az
the founding of this strong congrega:
| ton and the building Of this magnif.
lcent temple, and its dedication to Hin
who came to save.
] For any people to build the ines
church in this part of the whole coun'
| try is not only a proud accomplish
ment, but it is the strongest evidence
| of divine favor. Stories Of the mar
| tyrdoms Of the saints Of old are no
more imposing than the Christian
zeal, the personal pride, and the sell
sacrifice of this people as shown II
building such great temple to tn
worship of the Most High. sD
i The very air of the church was per
vaded by a spirit of fraternal feeling
a sense of Christian fellowship and
4 pious devotion to Him from whom
comes every blessing.
The singing and the music were de
. Ilightful and impressive and the inVo
cation by the pastor was reVerential
and met a responsive echo in ever

could say the same for the prayer b

not discover the appropriateness of
the speech. To us It seemed a mig
ut for the occasion and the place. We
| we're not. prepared to believe Mr..
Cody; is editor OF the Baptist Courier,
which is a model Of reverence. For
reverence 1t Is the equal Of the South
ern Christian Advocate, which paper
has a standard Of reverence as high as
that Of the highest and best of the
secular papers. For weeks we have
been thinking Of asking the Courier to
call upon the clergy to adopt it's own
high methods. Hence our unpre-
paredness to hear Mr.. Cody take the
name of the Lord on his lipsTfor a
hundred times In one half-hour in the
temple which had been erected to the
glory of, him who Is the Author Of our
very being. His lack Of reverence for
the holy name must have been simply
shocking: Whatever his education he;
utterly failed to use synonyms or
pronouns. Our own testimony would
be that it was the most irreyerent,
spesch that.we ever heard, not; except
ing the 3harrangue Of any evangelist
or ignorant ;irreiigious preacher. 4.
