THE BELOVED
|. DISCIPLE AND
: MANLY CHRIST
TWO STRONG STRONG DIscouRs-
Es AT FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH
YEsTERDAY-PAsToR DECLINES
CALL TO SOUTH CAROLINA.

At the conclusion Of the morning
sermon at the First Baptist church
yesterday the paztor stated that he
has declined a call to South Carolina
which had come to him Unexpectedly,
in order to stay here. Il would rather
place In America he said.
The morning sermon was upon the
Beloved Disciple"
at is encouraging to us ordinary
mortals to note that John was not a
born saint but a man of great passion
with two faults standing out in his
early life, namely anger and inordinate
ambition. He wished to call down
fire to destroy a Samaritan village,
and then he got a political bee in his
bonnet, and wanted chief cabinet po-
sition. These faults gradually disap-
peared under the constant companion
ship with Jesus. The main points
were, however, that he was teachable
and not always justifying himself. He
was always the same, a steady flame;
he was lost in the admiration Of the
Master; he was always loyal and his
life was marred by. no lapses; and his
character ripened to old age and at
last the curtain falls upon him on Pat
mos, still looking UP into the face
OF his Master.
The Evening Sermon.
The evening sermon, THE Manly
Christ" was prepared at the request
of a young man who thought the pic
lures OF Christ repulsive, effeminate,
etc.
1T is hard to trace the view that
His religion is more feminine than
masculine which has so often prevail
ed in art and story. Religion is the
fine art of living, and who can say
whether that art is not largely femin-
inc? But women worship heroes not
weaklings, and when you come, TO- the
Founder of the Christian religion you
find hero. I love his calm repose,
but if I were painting picture of
him, would draw him with the light
ening upon his brow as he blew in a
bugle blasts of righteous indignation
against the hypocrisy and oppression
in high places. That represents the
Christ as fully as his manner of gra

Tagging the Lobbyists
at Tallahassee.

The Journal congratulates the leg1s-
1ature on its evident intention to put
a crinp in the nefarfous operations
OF that horde Of undesirabies. COM
monty called lobbyists, that biennial1y
.nfest the state capital when the Law
makers are in session
The plan Of tagging the paid lob
byist Is a plan long advocated BY The
Journal and we are glad to see that
it is going to be put into effect.
We have no objection to any per-
son or persons appearing at the capt.
tai in behalf OF any legislation in
which he or they may be interested,
but when they or their Representatives
do appear they should do 50 openly and
honestly and not under false pre-
lenses. The plan to make them regis
ter stating whom or what they rep
resent and the legislation in which
they are interested, is the only way to
properly handle them.
Publicity is the cure for numerous
evils. tt is, in many cases, much more
effective than law itself. and publicity
we take it is what Is now intended.
No honest man or interest can object
TO making public the business which
takes him or his representative to
Tallahassee. and no dishonest man
should he allowed to pursue his cor
rupt methods there.
The legislature has done well. May
IL continue the good work.

Parading
Their Grief.

The news dispatches say that a.
number of widows whose husbands
lest their lives IN the terrible Titanic
disaster of a year ago. will sail for
Europe on a liner that viii bring
them to the scene of the awful catas-
trophe at 2:15 a. m. on the 18th, at
which time they will hold a very spec
tscular service and will cast on the sea
great quantities OF scarlet flowers
Most OF these widowed women are
persons of large wealth and this latest
stunt has been widely advertised in
the society columns of the eastern
newspapers. The fact that the func-
ton has been so deliberately gotten up
and that these women have kept their
press agents so busy has knocked al
the tender sentiment ont OF the affair
and has made 1t appear coarse and
vulgar. not to say grotesqueL
It is said that this Junketing trip
where the widows viii parade their
grief before the eyes of the world. was
organized by Mrs. Jacques Futrelle. re-
lict OF the novelist While 1t may ada to
the sales of the late Mr.. Futrelle's
books. there can be no other good
reason for this display
