Rev. M. Ashby Jones breaches q Papal Sermon.
Argues RESIDENCES

The Rev. NJ. Ashby Jones has established
plenty of reputation, such as it is.
He has for years officiated at The First
Baptist Church, which consists largely of Rich
Responsibility.
Having been for SO long season the APP
proved Spiritual Guide of Rich Respecta-
blllty, the Rev. NJ. Ashby Jones has cultivated
a certain state of mind, familiar to those who
have observed the ways Of the Pharisees If
ever he alludes to He'll, he eliminates the brim-
stone and the never dying worm; if he casti-
gates the Devil, he abolishes the horns and
the hoofs.
He is unable to distinguish Religion from
Morals; and, therefore, his sermons would
sound just as we'll to gathering of Chinese
mandarins, if he would omit the name of
Christ, and use that of Confucius
He dotes on Decorum: at his services. reli-
glous rapture must wear light Jacket and
preserve silence: at the funerals he conducts,
grief must stife its sob, and hold back it's tear.
During the many years that the Rev. NJ.
Ashby Jones has distilled episcopal rose-water
at-The First Baptist Church, there have been
few political issues which did not seem to need
his attention and invite his counsel Nothing
OF consequence could get past the Rev. M.
Ashby Jones.
With a meritorious determination to illu-
inmate with his opinions every profane dis
cussion, he has exhausted many font of type,
and measured his length along many column
of the daily papers
Was it question of enforcing the Law end
the mandates Of Supreme Courts against the
vilest criminal that ever preyed upon young
girls in Georgia? Was it a battle-royal. be-
tween Big Money on one side, and of Justice
on the other?

do with it; and he had never concerned him

fourteen ye0rs old, one Of the church dgni-
taries who interfered, TO preuent the State
from doing ITS duty, was the Rev. NJ. Ashby
Jones.
More recently, he has gone up and down the
Republic, delivering addresses on "Prepared-
ness" as if Militarism were peculiarly sub
ject for the ministers of the Prime of Peace;
and as if the State-acting through the
President, the Cabinet, the Congress, and the
Governors unable to fifty exercise its
functions without the eloquent aid Of the Rev.
M. Ashby Jones.
In this respect, he earnestly emulates the
example of Cardinal Gibbons and Bishop
Benz. Kelly, who lose no opportunity to guide
the State with truly Roman wisdom
1t is no matter for surprise, therefore, that
Pastor Jones should misuse his pulpit,
to denounce the House of Representatives
for its vote on the bill of the Rev. Prior G..
Veazey, the able and fearless Baptist who rep
resents Warren County.
The priests of Rome, bringing their foreign
superstitions and un-American institutions
into this country, contend that their mon
asteries, their nunneries, and their CONNER
cial laundries are private residences!
The Rev M. Ashby Jones adopts that view,
and thereby writes himself down a facile
dupe.

THE following appeared in The Macon
Telegraph last week:

Augusta Ca, Aug. 6-In a sermon marked by
eloquence at the First Baptist church here Sunday
morning, Rev. M. Ashby Jones, pastor, discussed
the Weary bill, which has passed the Georgia
House, and which is pending in the Senate.
DR.. Jones sounded the warning that it is the
catholics who are now marked for slaughter.
Next may come the Baptists, and next the Meth
odists. The subject of his sermon was 1.-THE State
and It's Religious Institutions"
Democracy and Christianity Same.
The minister took for his text Luke g. 1850,
"And John answered and said, Master we saw one
casting out devils in Thy name and forbade him
because he foloweth not with us. And Jesus
said, forbid him not" The speaker said that
democracy and Christianity are identical. de
mOcraCy is the right of each individual to choose
for himself, limited only by the right of others,
and there is no more sacred right than the right
to worship God according to the dictates of his
conscience.
Opens Up Private Institutions.
1.-THE State already has the right to investigate
any institution supported by the money of the
State, and it is for this very reason that State
would never appropriate money for organized
religion, for an appropriation carries with it
right to enter institutions supported by the State
but not right to enter private institutions. The
most fundamental rule of the law courts is that
man has to prove his innocence, yet here the
government has the right to enter private insti-
buttons to hunt for unnamed crimes The plea is
that if the institutions innocent they will not
object!"
Aimed at Catholics
Dr. Jones here made an impassioned appeal to
tho congregation to how they would feel if the
argument should be applied to their private
jury. And he went on to say that the deep sgnifi-
Of this bill lay in the fact, which was shame
lessly admitted by some and shamefully denied by
others, that this bill aimed at the Roman
Catholics. The justification urged in the accusa-
ton that unspeakable crimes are committed in
some of these institutions.

EVERYBODY CROW.

Here is wisdom "wrapt in
words" if you will-but wisdom
still:

much common sense or tact, yet
every time she lays an egg she
cackles forth the fact.

The Ass, the most despised
Of beasts, has persistent way

PARENTS ARE WARNED OF
DANGER FROM KITCHEN
FIRES.

This is the season of the year
most fatal to children. Not from
a sanitary point of view, as the
doctors would say, but from
carelessness in managing the
household heaters and the kitch-
en- range, says Robert w. Har-
gadine, state fire marshal.
Recent reports received by
the fire marshaPs department
from investigation of fires show
that several children have lost
their lives or have been disfig-
ured for life by being left alone
in the house by parents.
In many agricultural commun-
tiles, where both parents and all
other adult members of the
family are absent, the small
children left alone in the house
have played with the fire in the
kitchen range, and in most ca
ses fatalities have resulted.
In one case IN ROSeau county,
the father and mother left two
small children in the house.
They played with the fire with
the result that both were burned
to death and the entire dwell
ing destroyed.
Do not take chances. Ar
range matters so that small
children are not left alone in the
house or in room where they
can play with fire. By observ-
ing a little caution, many fam
lilies will be spared the heart
rendering experience of having
their little ones burned to DEATH

pers. At that moment there en-
tered the man who had been in
charge of other cases, and who
had suggested the quarantine.
They looked at each other for
a long time in silence.
"J'm sorry for you," said the
visitor. Then he asked: "For
the sake of the others don't you
think we ought to have a quar-
antine ?"
The white face went forward.
The strong shoulders heaved.
There was a strange, broken
sound, the cry of one who did
not know how to cry.
"Save the others !"-J. Barry.

THE COMMON ROMANCE.

A big city ought to have a
big heart for all it's little homes.
There they stand, their own ar
gument, two stories high, row
upon row, block after block. Two
young people came and started
housekeeping. Rainbows bridged
the little space from the kitch-
en- range to the potted ferns in
the parlor window. From the
sidewalk you could see most of
the wedding presents. Gilt
frames there were, with pictures
of kind, table of barber shop
onyx, a piano all shiny facade
upright, of course, or it would
not be tolerated. You might poke
fun at the painted globe Of the
lamp, but it stood there a glow
ing aureole of the affection of
the giver.
Who shall write the drama
and the romance of three meals
a day, Of washing and ironing,
Of babies crying and chuckling,
of children going to school and
bringing home their maltreated
arithmetics and their strange
tales of dehumanized teachers ?
Who shall find a novel between
the shiny brown covers of the
little account book that travels
so often to the corner grocery
and the meat market, and who
shall read between the lines par
entail trepidation over rising
prices and more mouths to fill ;?
Just look at the little tikes
who live in the house going off
to Sunday school! Do you be-
lieve in fairies? Out of the front
door comes small princess. You

The happiest nights
I ever know

The happiest nights
l ever know
Are those when I've
No place to go,
And the missus says
When the day is through
Tonight we haven't
A thing to do"
Oh, the joy of it,
And the peace untold
Of sitting round
In my slippers old,
With my pipe and book
In my easy chair,
Knowing I needn't
Go anywhere.
Needn't hurry
My evening meal
Nor force the smiles
That l do not feel,
But can grab a book
From a nearby shelf,
And drop all sham
And be myself.
Oh, the charm of it
And the comfort rare;
Nothing on earth
With it can compare;
And Pm sorry for him
Who doesn't know
The joy of having
No place to go.
