Jewish birth. They
knew of Gods covenant relationship
with Israel; and it took time to con-
vince them that the Divine Program
had taken another step forward.
Similarly, in this end of the Age.
there are many who realize that only
little flock" has been called and has
responded, under the present High
Calling. 1t is difficult for these to
grasp the thought that change of
dispensation Is now at hand, and that
God purposes to complete the work of
this Age for the Elect and to inaugu.
rate new work for the new Age for
the benefit Of "all the families Of the
earth"-the nOn-elect.
The Conclusion of tho Matter.
The conclusions of the conference are
given us in few words; namely. that
God had recognized believers Of Gen
tile birth by His Holy Spirit in just
the same way that He had recognized
believers Of Jewish birth; and that
these Gentiles had received this Divine

bondage Of the Law Covenant. The
Apostles realized that the Law Cove
nant was indeed yoke so heavy that
neither they nor their forefathers had
oeen able to bear 1t. Christ had reliev.
ed them Of that yoke. Why, then.
should they put it upon brethren upon
whom the Lord had never put it?
In Verses 1920 we have the decision
Of the Apostles upon the question.
They not only wrote 1t out, but sent 1t
to Antioch by two trusted brethren,
Judas Barsabas and Silas, with st.
Paul and Barnabas. that the Church
might have it in both written and oral
testimony. The declaration was that
the disquieting teachings had not been
authorized by the Apostles at Jerusa-
lem. Then they briefly summed up.
not as law. but as necessary things,
the following: Abstain from sacrifices
offered TO idols. from blood, from
things strangled and from harlotry. 1t
was not intimated that these things
would make Christians of unbellevers;
for nothing but faith in Christ and full
conservation to walk in His steps could
constitute them Christians.
AS matter of fact. the Apostle Paul
he's pointed ont NEST forcefully that

i,Jn and sentiments.
The wise course followed by the
Council ut Jerusalem brought good re-
suits. Harmony prevailed-unity OF
spirit, fellowship amongst the mem
bers. The secret of this harmony lay
I'm the fact that the Lord was recog-
nized as having supervision of the af-
fairs of the Church, and as guiding
her course through His appointed chan
nels, the Apostles.
Similarly today. where honesty of
heart prevails amongst the Lords peo-
pie, schisms. divisions, should he I'M
known. The Lords guidance and in
struction should be sought-His Word

The beauty of our political system lies ~ tne
very fact that no one man is Indispensable
there is not a gift within the province Of the
people or the governor but what could be filled
acceptably by a score Of competent men with
the possible exception of legal positions, where
knowledge of law and experience makes it II
advised to discard proven and tried men to put
in new untried men.
The Clarion recognizes the fact that under
ideal conditions political considerations should
have no weight in the selection of health, edu-
%cational, eleemosynary and asylum boards, that
competency should be the only test and exper-
fence a determining factor, but since under our
laws they are semi-political in character it sees
no improperly where competency is conceded
as in the present instance In reWarding a faith
ful political ally.

LEGOQ FOR FIRE MARSHAL

Conrad Lecoq, Of the pointe Coupee Banner,
IS being strongly urged as Chief State Fire Mar
shall; he is being endorsed by practically all the
volunteer fire companies of the state and by a
large number of the newspapers of Louisiana.
Mr. Lecoq is an ex-president Of tse State Fire
men Association and was at one time head Of the
Louisiana Press Association. Being experienced
IN the world of firenen he would make an ad-
mirable fire marshal.
Were It left to the people of this city who are
acquainted with the distinguished pointe Goupee
editor Governor Pleasant would have no difficult
fy IN selecting his chief fire marshal.
The Clarion heartily endorses Mr.. Lecoa and.
urgently recommends his appointment, because.
we believe him fully competent of making an
efficient fire marshal.

All Over Now.

plaquemine Protector: Now that the election
is over the hope might be expressed that matters
in general will soon shape themselves and that
everybody will do his share towards the common
good. It is not right that politics should be per-
petual as has been the case ii this parish. We
ought 70 have an end to unnecessary political
discussions. We ought to have an agreement on
the part Of both factions to accept the decision
TO be a common effort to aid Governor Pleasant
in uniting all Louisiana behind his plans to solve
the serious problems which confront the state.
Will you help US?

LOUISIANA PRESS OPINION
Col. Peasants Unusual Opportunities

Madison Journal: There is nothing in sight to
Indicate that factionalism will play any part IN
the policy Of the coming administration Mr..
Pleasant has had the support Of a large proper
ton of the people and will have the support Of
the Legislature in carrying through such meas
ures as have been guaranteed the voters. Mr..
Pleasant is pledged to no radical changes and will
therefore, be in a position to work on conserva-
tive lines of improvement. The distribution Of
patronage constitutes one of the real trials in
handling the executive Office. Governor Pleasant
will have q better opportunity for a free hand
in this connection than has been the luck Of his
recent predecessors. Therefore, the conditions
surrounding the incoming administration are
particularly promising. We believe that Mr..
Pleasant will make the best of such an unusual
opportunity.

BE LENIENT ON THE LOSERS

The legislature will be confronted with a SCI
rious problem when the shaping up Of the new
primary law will come up There are some who
are of the firm opinion that those who voted for
John M. Parker, PFogressive-Independent eandi-
date for governor, should be cast out Of the
democratic party; there are others who believe
that in order to avoid all possible party difficult
ties every party should have its primary on the
same date. The liberal democrats believe, how
ever, that those democrats who voted for Mr..
Parker should be treated as gently as possible;
it is believed that If a rigid law is attempted
those who innocently style themselves 1Inde-
pendent Democrats will be driven into the
republican camp.
st. Landry was one Of the Louisiana parishes
to give Parker an overwhelming majority. Some
of the staunchest democrats, who are Wilson
democrats and who will cast their ballot for
the democratic candidate for president, were
among the leaders in the Parker camp. They
voted for Parker according to the dictates OF
their censcience-for We must judge others as
we would others judge us-and are good citizens,
besides democrats.
We, for one, object most seriously to the
passage Of a severe primary law, on account of
which the majority Of voters of st. Landry par
ish will be forced into the republican party
most unwillingly.
Even those who voted for MT. Parker know
that the progressive party is soon to fade away;
while there are some who will remain registered
progressiyes, even though the national party is
absorbed by the republicans, as is the plan, the
large majority Of the voters of 81. Landry who
cast their ballot for Parker, are in the demo-
cratic party and expect to remain there forever.
Why then should the legislature adopt a law
which will force these men, the majority of the
voters Of this great parish, out of the party of
their fathers?
of course we believe steps should be taken so
as to preserve the party; so as to strengthen it
and allow this state to remain in the democratic
party SO long as the party lives up to its teach
ings.

USELESS ELECTIONS


Grand Goteau, La, April 26, 1916.
10 the Editor Of the St. Landry
Clarion.
III would be a great saving to the
taxpayers Of Louisiana il we could
get rid OF all useless elections, j. g.,
elections where there is no opposf-
ton. The state, congressional dis
riets, senatorial districts. parishes,
municipalities and all other places
that have elections under tae pres
emf law are included.
IN the summer Of 1913 there were
two elections in this parish within
enc month Of each other which I
call useless, because there was but
one candidate at each election. The
FIRST election was when Leon Haas
was elected to succeed Congress-
man +. Lazaro ia the state senate.
The other elected Gilbert b Dupre
to succeed A r. Garland in the
House &c Representatives. Messrs.

Well, That Depends on Who's I'm

Hammond Vindicator: Well, now, that the
gubernatorial election is over, the only thing to
disturb the business interests of the country is
the presidential election which occurs next Nov
ember. There are too many elections in this
country. A president should be elected for eight
years, a governor for six years and legislators
for four years. The money spent in these elect
ions could be used to much better advantage.
Not only that, but frequent elections tend to dis
turb the business interests of this country. The
promotion of many business enterprises de-
Ponds on election results.
