STRONG ENDORSEMENT
FOR JUDGE RELY
BAPTIST MINISTER IN SERMON ON
1.-THE CHURCH IN POLITICS."
TOUCHES UPON THE MISS.
POLITICAL SITUATION.
(From Natchez Democrat.)

The Rev. DR.. S. j. Parrish, pastor of
the First Baptist Church, in sermon
night ON The Church in Poll
tics" praised in high terms Judge
Marion w. Reilly of Natchez, guber-
Material candidate. Without lowering
the dignity of the pulpit, and steering
clear of all criticisms of others, DIR.
Parrish, in eloquent words, portrayed
Judge Reilly as true great man; a
man of conviction; a cream man, true
statesman; a Christian gentleman; a
man loyal to our splendid city; to our
great State: to our wonderful govern
ment; to himself; to his fellowmen
and to God"
"If elected, believe we can read the
text of this hour and say he will not
be found wanting" said DR.. Parrish.
IF he is defeated, he will be the same
Marion Reilly, and like good Demo
crat, will stand loyal TO the successful
candidate.
II do not ask you to vote for any
particular candidate" said DR.. Parrish.
II simply ask you to read the text,
then pray and vote az ysu pray"
In discussing the church in politics,
DR.. Parrish said: "The Church of God
has a perfect right in the affairs of
government. The TWO spheres are
kept disastrously distinct. Some argue
that politics would desecrate the sa-
cred realness of religion. l refer you
to the sermon on the Mount. Chris
tainity must have voice in the affairs
OF our land. The name of Jesue has
ever been connected with public az
fairs, continued DR.. Parrish. I'm a
very important way his name is con
nected with every court rule, and every
important business transaction in the
world"
Let he that thinketh that religion
should be kept separate and distinct
from politics search the Scriptures,
for in them he will find much said c.
political affairs. The welfare of the
people is largely determined by the
moral character of the government"
The above sermon delivered by DR..
Parrish will set at rest the criticisms
that have been going over the State
as to the attitude Of the pulpit toward
the candidacy of Judge Reilly.
It seems that the opposition to Judge
The Hattiesburg news. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 1908-1917, 1915-05-06

Reilly has been placed in desperate
straits, and are grasping at any straw
that may float in their direction. The
sanctity of his life can not be assailed,
the home-life is above reproach, so
some one limited that the religious
views of Judge Reilly did not conform
to the orthodox.
Anything to try and discredit
clean, useful life, seems to be the
motto of some of his opponents.
Judge Reilly has the pulpit Of Missis-
sippi as his friends. He has no desire
to bring religion into politics and will
not do so. His friends know that the
eulogy of his life by DR.. Parrish was
true, and that is what is hurting some
of his most bitter opponents.

NO DIVISION YET,
SAYS THE BISHOP
MISSISSIPPI DIOCESE NOT TO BE
CUT IN TWO PARTS FOR
SOME TIME YET.

Jackson, Miss, May Gin his an
nual address before the diocesan coun-
Gil of the Episcopal church, which is
nearing the finish of it's session today,
Bishop Theo. Dubose Bratton stated
that there is no hope of consummat-
ing the plan either to divide the do
cese or have a coadjutor appointed I'M
til the task of securing an endowment
full for All Saints College at Vicks-
burg is completed. Prospects for this
endowment, he said, have visibly
frightened, and this task may be COM
pleted within the next year. Several
liberal donations have been promised
with which to meet interest charges
and wipe out the debt of $4,000.
1t is an improbable task, said Bish-
op Bratton, for one Bishop to render
adequate service to the diocese.
There are about lao stations in the
state, of which 10 are organized, and
the remainder are preaching stations
where the church has limited member
ship.
Referring to the mission work Of the
church and the European war Bishop
Bratton said:
Missionary effort Is the great task
which God has entrusted to His
church, the witnessing to His redemp-
tion to every creature throughout the
world. And this requires the greater
zeal and earnestness in day of bit
ter strife such as this past year has
been. The increased measure of ac-
tivity of the principalities and powers
that war against Christian principles
must be met by the added activity OF
the Christian army in strength which
can know no quarter. The gospel of
aggressive weapon of the Christian
soldier, and the sword of the gospel
can never be sheathed, for the gospel
is the living fact which can never
cease to be. What it has been and
what 1t is now we know, who look
beneath the surface of human life.
What 1t shall be to the world, we
know also depends largely on the
vitalizing of it's power to which we
lend ourselves and our every faculty
of soul and body. I have spoken thus
far only of the great mission of Christ
to the world, as though this were the
only object of the apportionment.
do not forget, however, the training
and teaching of the Christian soldier
nor the sustenance of the broken and
wounded"

LOANS TO Aliens
Commissioner Of immigration
Argues U. S. Should Help
Immigrants.
FIGURES ARE GROWING
Hardly Will Fall Below Million Mark
Annually, Caminetti Says,
in Report.
FIGURES ARE GROWING

In his annual report, Commissioner
General of immigration A. Caminetti
advocates government farm loans or a
rural credit system in the labor distri-
button movement OF the Department OF
Labor. of which the immigration Bu-
reau is a part.
Perhaps one of the greatest induce
ments that can be offered a man who
will accept labor on a farm is the hope
that ultimately he can secure one of
his own and establish a home" says the
report. The thought is suggested that
no better service can be rendered, IL
either of the farm loan bills now pend
ing in Congress Is enacted, than to
provide that a part of the funds that
may be appropriated or provided to
establish a system of government loans
to farmers shall be assigned to the De-
partment of Labor to be used in connec-
tion with the work of distribution pur-
suant to terms prescribed by the pro-
posed law. Another plan that suggests
itself is to make a direct appropriation
from the National Treasury or trans
fer a portion of the moneys in the i'm
migrant fund. or OF the moneys collect
ed from immigrants, and constitute the
same a permanent revolving farm loan
fund of the Department of Labor for
aiding people applying for labor on
farms in acquiring lands for the estab-
lishment of homes and carrying on
farm operations thereon"
Yearly Increase Steady.
Concerning immigration for the fiscal
year, which closed June 30 last, the re-
port says:
Immigration, judged from the results
of the year. has apparently reached the
million mark permanently, and unless
some affirmative action Is taken by the
Federal government to restrict II, or
steps are taken by European and other
nations to reduce the steady stream of
persons leaving the various countries Of
the Old World We need hardly expect
that the number annually entering the
United States will thereafter fall far be-
low loo, 900. During the last fiscal year
1,2lS.4S0 souls have immigrated to the
United States, 20,5SS more than were
shown for the previous year and only
$3.50 less than the total shown for 1907,
the banner year in immigration. Com
parison Of the record of emigrating aliens
with that of immigrating aliens shows
that 633, 500 left the United States, so
that the net increase in population by the
immigration was T6s, ZIG. 1t was S15,S03 in
1913 and 4e1, ,S63 in 1872
The Commissioner General recommends
that money collected from the aliens as
head tax should be used to protect the
people of the United States from the
evils of unregulated or insufficiently reg
ulated immigration; to provide protection
and comfort for alien immigrants, and to
relieve the various States of the burden
of maintaining aliens in their public in
stitutions and the communities of the
menace of having in their midst the
and immoral classes.
