Hello! How Now? Whittier Are
We Drifting?

IT HESE be troublous times We never
know, at the breakfast table, what the
dinner is going to be. Bait may be ever SO
plentiful, but who can tell whether the fish
will bite?
For instance, there was our beloved
brother, A. Y. Napier, who left off the saw
ing of Chinese souls, in China; and came
all the way to ST. Louis, Missouri, to make
a speech on Foreign Missions.
Brother Napier had to travel long ways,
across the deep waters, to get a chance to
make that speech.
In crossing the ocean to get here, he was
awfully seasick; and about the only thing
that he did not throw up, was that speech.
When he got to Saint Louis, he lost as lit
tie time as possible, before trying to make
said speech. He tried-but what happened?
Let us turn to the news items in the daily
papers, and peruse the same for information.
Here we have it:

and it became rich, proud and tyrannical as
others had done.
Then, the voice of protest was heard-and
it was often choked in blood
jerome of Prague protested, and they put
him to death, with fortunes.
Huss protested, and was burnt
Savonarola protested, and was burned.
All over Europe, the voice of protest was
heard; and wherever Rome could hush it in

test, but is no longer protests 1t eo5W not

Pretty much the same thing can be said
about the other Protestant churches they no

Then, why should they live? Why should
they have congregations? What is the reason
of their existence?
Born of protest, the very law of their life
is protest.

as a concrete, visible body; but 1t as no longer

Because the people vaguely feel these
things, and because of some other matters
that yOW can imagine, the ten thousand
churches have lost their congregations.

The System of Rome RepeIIant

OUR readers will bear me out in the state
- ment that [ never attack system, for
something done by an individual unless the
act of the individual is the natural conse-
quence of the system.
When Rome denies to her priests the right
to take wives, the system drives many priests
not all of them-to secret sins, some of
which are those which led to the destruction
of Sodom and Gomorrah.
| have noticed many such cases, in recent
years. The little boys who serve at the affairs
are usually the priests victims.
When the hideous facts leak out, as thew
do every now and then, the scandal is usually
hushed up by threatening the boys, as the
accompHces of the priest although we know
that in all such horrors the boy is not will
lrg sacrifice.
The parents of the boys having been
silenced by threats, the priest is transferred"
to another field, where of course he pollutes
other boys.

ing account of another case. For obvious
reasons, the name of the writer is withheld.
Dear Sir 1 am subscriber to your Magazine

that l should write you regarding one Father
Hayes, of this place. and feel sure interest
you and also think my information to you will,
in some way, help you in the you are waging
against the Roman Catholics
To begin with, this saint Father Hayes, is
guilty of unnatural crime with men, "using
his mouth" Some of the sensible Roman
Catholics have quit the church, while others have
been busy investigating, and convinced that
the charges are true He has been accused by
K. c., but denies the charges. Now things
are coming our way, as the county officials have
been Investigating also, and have gathered so
much evidence that they now have list of fifty
names of boys and men who have been to see the
Father" and by all appearances it looks very
bad for the Father" I personally
acquainted with at least twenty of the men, and
the list myself. AS 1 had my doubts about
the matter for over year, finally accepted
invitation from him to make little friendly call,
and will truthfully say that had not been in his
room ten minutes until he made his proposal,
and let him go through with it, just to
WINGED myself.

before the Southern Baptist convention on how to
make foreign missionary work more effective
said it was desirable that the Baptists join the
other protestant sects in building up interdenomi-
national mission schools there were cries of "No
no" and "Sit down. from all over the audience
Finding it impossible to continue his address,

And to think that he had to come all the

What are we coming to in these days, any
way?
Here we have foreign missionary who
has been laboring among the Chinks, year
IN and year out, until certain opinions on
the subject form themselves In his grey mat
ter.
Whereupon, he comes hurrying across the
world to enlighten us, and to convert us to
his way of thinking.
He wants us Baptists to harmonic with
the Methodlsts, the Lutherans, the Episcopal
Ians, the Christians the Adventists, the Rus
sell1tes, the Primitives, &C., in order that the
untutored minds Of the heather may not be
confused and distracted by the discordant
clamors OF SO many types of PrOtestants.

and inadmissible in Brother Napier's sue

to give him a hearing. [ do not owe it to

School Books Free! Give the
Children a Square Deal!

IN the 18th of September, 1894, / addressed
large crowd of people at Canton, GeOr-
gia, the general subject being, Popu1Gst
Principles.
Coming to the question of, our Public
schools, said:
owe Populists claim that in the State of
Georgia there should be a monthly payment
of the school teachers of the State, and the
to the school children. Mr.. Atkinson says he
IS opposed to that. He says it would cost
the State 100000. [ deny it. Let us see
what it would cost. Let us see what are
the principles involved; and let us see
whether it is right that the school children
of Georgia should have primary school books
their readers, and spoilers and arithmetics,
and, grammar, perhaps, furnished by the
State of Georgia. Let us look around us and
see what the public is doing In the way of
FURNISHING books to other people; and then
let us see how violent contrast it is to deny
them to the little boys and girls 2cbo qcM be
the future rulers Of this land.
In the great city of Washington, the fede-
raj government furnishes a public library
free of charge to the Congressman, and Sen
ators, and Supreme Court Judges. You pay
for every one Of these books. Not only that,
they are building right now in the city of
Washington a magnificent marble library to
contain that free library. That building is to
cost six million dollars of your money. It's
dome has been covered over with leaf gold,
and there it stands-a marble palace with
golden crown. Free books for Congressman,
free books for Senators, free books for poll
ticians, free books for Supreme Court Judges;
and when we talk about giving free books
to the little school girls and school boys of
no hat cd
million dollars to furnish free books to Wash
ington, cry out that it is anarchy.
What else? In the city of Athens there
is a State University kept up by public
expense, and a magnificent library furnished
the scholars who go there. The richest man
in Georgia can send his sons there and edu-
cate them free; the poorest man in Georgia
can do the same thing, pr0Uided he can pay
the board biU But there are lots of folks
who can't pay board bills; they can't send
their boys and girls off from home; they have
got to keep them home to help work the crop;
or they want to keep them within reach of
parental influence and home training. Now,
what do we say? Bring the edatc0tiOn closer
to the doors Of e0ery cottage IN the land. Let
the golden ladder Of opportunity be placed
before every mans door, and If his children
can climb It, IN GODS NAME, LET THEM
CLIMB. Give every man a fair chance in
the race Of life; give his boy a, fair chance;
give his girl fair chance.
Under the wool hat of some little mountain
boy may be the brain of a Ben Hill or an
Alec Stephens; may be the head of Henry
Clay, or a George McDufie. Hoeo can you

USE PARCELS POST STAMPS FOR
ALL PACKAGES.

Because the mistake made by the
author Of the following communication
is so general that ten bushels of par
cells are held IA the II4chmond post
office for the same cause. The Times
Dispatch believes 1t worth while 10
give the postal ruling in the matter.
From Danville. this gentleman writes:
In your editorial for January i.
headed Use the Parcels Post you
gave Instructions as TO how 10 man
such articles as would come under that
head, and made use Of this expression:
The parcel must weigh less than
eleven pounds and more than four
ounces" on January I attempted
TO mail a small package OF merchan-
disc weighing less than three ounces.
and placed cents in letter postage
on it, 1t comes back from the office
marked HELD for Postage"
We probably caused the confusion
by our statement as TO weight. The
parcels post carries all parcels from
fraction of an ounce to eleven pounds
in weight But parcels weighing less
than four ounces are transmitted at
the fiat rate of l cent an ounce re-
CARELESS of distance. Those over four
ounces are charged for by weight and
the zone of their destination. But all
packages, to secure these rates, must
bear the special parcels post stamps.
Our correspondents package was held
for postage because 1t did not carry
the parcels post stamps to secure the
cent-an-ounce rate. and not enough
letter stamps to transmit It at the
first-class rate of cents an ounce.
A package can be mailed with letter
stamps on it only if it carries postage
at the frst-class rate.
To secure the old fourth-claes rate
or the new parcel rate for large pack
ages. the package must be mailed at
a parcels post station. and bear par
eel post stamps It must bear the re-
turn address of the sender. Small par
GELS can no longer be mailed at the
corner box with ordinary stamps at
cent an ounce. You must pay cents
an ounce, or take them to the parcels
post office.
