Manners Maketh Man.

F. Hopkinson Smith. in one of his
sketches. lamented that in the hurry
and rush which obtain in the present
era good manners has become con-
spicuous by their absence, saying:
I'VE live so fast that we have not time
to be polite" His lament is recalled
by a story told by a lady from Vir-
ginia who lately visited New York.
The story was about prayer credited
to Uncle Nat" an old darky who
had served for many years as 51ler
in the house. The prayer concluded
in this wise: Make ma so lib dat
when All does All viii know what to
say when Ah. meets nah Hebeniy Mas
ter-so he sure All done had proper
raisin' and learnt ma manners"

Skeleton of Small pInosaur.

There are now being assembled in
the United States National museum
the bones OF very small three-horned
dinosanr, which is being made the
type of new species. This diminu-
tive dinosaur, when completely as
sembled, will measure about six feet
in length and stand only about three
feet high. Its head is 22 inches long.
When its bones are compared with
those of the larger members of this
extraordinary family of reptiles, it
will be seen that this specimen is less
than one-fourth of their size In the
National museum are several skulls
of one of the large horned dinosaurs,
Triceratops, which measure from six
to eight feet, and in one case nine feet.

Texas to demand that political
preachers give their congregations
more old-time religion and less po-
litical clap-trap; that they display
a more earnest effort TO reach the
hearts of men and play less to the
galleries; that they more often
hold fellowship with members and
fewer caucases with the politicians.
THE ministry, unsophisticated
and contidipg, is no match for the
politician versed in artful persuas-
ion and skilled in deceit, and it is
the duty of the laymen to protect
the ministry against the onslaught
OF these wolves in sleeps clothing
and drive the politicians from the
pulpit with the lash of public
scorn. 1t is the laymen's problem
to keep the ministry free from I'M
holy alliances, for it is said on di-
vine authority that we are our
brothers keeper.
There is political machine in
this state that would put Tammany
to shame and make Thurlow Weed
turn over in his grave with envy,
and the pulpit politician is one of
the component parts of its me-
chanism."
This ought to serve very i'm
portant purpose in the form of a
lesson to some of our religious
leaders in this city and state, as
we are in receipt of facts from re-
liable and authoritative sources of
their activity in politics, and the
large financial benefits they re-
ceived from the politicians, which
must necessarily result in divis-
ion of the time and energy they
ought TO devote to their spiritual
calling. Beware! Take heed, lest
you sell your birthright and also
your blessing for the things of the
world that perish.

PULPIT
POLITICIANS
TEXAS FARMERS UNION RESENT PREACHERS ATTACK
ON THE LIQUOR QUESTION

We have from time to time ex-
pressed through the columns of
our journal our entire disapproval
and utter adherence of ministers
of the gospel dabbling in politics,
and going to the extent of not
only turning the sacred edifces in
to political meeting rooms and
headquarters, but to compromise
the dignity of the ministerial office
by playing in the hands of polite
ians for greed of gain, thereby u.s.
ing their positions as leaders of
people to obtain earthly possess
ions so as to increase their Golfers.
We therefore deem it our duty TO
publish this article for the guild
ance of those who are not given to
such things, and the good it will
do in making others desist. The
following is ID statement in part
from the Farmers Union of Fort
Worth, Texas in reply to the
ministers of political fame who
are leading tne prohibition cause
in the state:
I'VE want to say few words to
the pulpit politicians who have at
tackled the position of the farmers
Union on the liquor question.
Civilization has many times
been compelled to drive incorrig.
ible preachers back to the pulpit
atthe point of the bayonet. Many
of the pages of history are wet
with blood shed at the hands of
political preachers who wrote laws
on the statute books that COM
mitted arson upon mankind, maim-
ed human beings with the hatchet
and sent helpless women to the
torture rack, all because they disa-
gree with their views.
When in control of government
the pulpit politicians invariably
undertake to perform legislative
miracles such as casting out witch
es with the flame of the torch,
suborning conscience with shack
les and enforcing opinions with
the guillotine.
"A preacher who graduates from
the pulpit into politics becomes a
menace to good government and
likewise politician who occupies
the pulpit, debauches tie church
and becomes a menace to religion.
The hand that passes the sac
rament should not collect slush
funds for political purposes. 1t is
no more wicked for priest to sell
penance than for preacher to
grow rich selling political news
papers. We think it is as immoral
for a preacher to seek to lobby
while he prays as it would be for
him to gamble while he breaches.

AMERICAN RELIGION is
AN ABOMINATION
WITH GOD
From New York Age.

Preaching the seventy. first an
niversary sermon of the Grand
United Order of Odd Fellows, at
Manhattan Casino, Sunday, May
10, before an audience numbering
from eight to ten thousand people,
DR.. A. Clayton Powell, pastor IF
the Abyssinian Baptist Church,
declared that american religion
is an abomination in Gods eye"
The sermon of DIR. Powell was
listened 10 with with close atten.
ton and the vast audienc gave
voice 10 its approval when the
ministes touched on conditions in
this country and discussed the diff
ference between true christianity
and and American religion. DR..
Powell said in part:
"If any race or organization
would make permanent its pro-
gress and position, it must take
a righteous God into its life. 1t
is not enough to have religion
We must have God. The Egyp-
tians, Babylonians, Romans, and
Grecians he'd plenty Of religion,
but religion did not save them.
We must draw sharp line of dis
tinction between religion and the
Christianity of Jesus. Most of
the stuff in the United States la
beled Christianity is not Chris
tianity at all but American relig-
ion. Now American religion is
an abominaticn in Gods eye view.
All sorts of crimes have been CON-
mitted and are still being commit
ted in the name of American relig.
ion. You can steal a railroad
stretching from New York to Bos-
ton in the name of American re-
ligion. You can rob the State of

resolution urging that monuments
be erected in the capital Of each
state to commemorate the fidelity
to their masters shown by the
slaves during the war.
The Florida Times Union
shows the logic on which this reso-
luton is built by declaring that
had the slaves been hostile the
soldiers of the South could not
have fought at all. They could
not have left their families defense
less in the midst of hostile blacks.
Or even if the slaves had tried by
the modern device of sabotage to
harass their masters, they must
have been successful in preventing
the war, for without their work
Dixie's armies could not have been
fed.
Says the Times Union:
The men of the South went
out with confidence, leaving the
defenseless ones they loved under
the protection of their loyal slaves,
and during the four years of strife
and over the whole extent of the
confed deracy not one Negro was un-
faithful to his trust. A few, as
the federal armies approached,
ran away to free dom, but there is
no record of one act of violence or
one word of insult toward the
wives and children of their mas.
ters. One who think of this won
derful record must see in it reason
for pride for both races. Good
will is never sided. The Ne
groes could not have shown such
answering loyalty to those who
had oppressed and maltreated
them"
This, of course, is one side of it.
1t is well enough to praise the
slaves for that fine quality of 10y
atty which they showed, but it is
not well to use that loyalty, in
these days, as halfway implica-
ton that Negro slavery was a just
and pleasant institution.
To us the very loyalty of the
blacks seem pathetic. Their eyes
were not open TO see the vision of
freedom, Slavery had hemmed
them IN aud kept them down in
tellectually and spiritually. They
did not know enough to strike for
themselves the blow that lay in
their refusal to raise food for the
masters who were fighting against
their cause.
