**,****-**********l * HENBLEY’S COMMENTS * j * * Bits of Opinion Noted. ******** * * * ******* REAL RELIGION. The other day we read an article about a man who had, as lie put it, “shopped around” among all the churcnes of his community trying to find a preacher who would get right down to the real foundation of reli gion and “cuss him out,” tell him of all the mean things, all the sinful things he was in the habit of doing, a minister who wouldn’t hesitate to tell hmi in no uncertain language just what wculd happen to him if he con tinued on down the primrose path he was traveling. Now that is our conception ol a real man, and up to the present time he is still looking for the preacher who does not hesitate to tell those back in the pews what is going to become ol them in eternity and tell it to them straight from the shoulder without any of tiie trimmings and camouflage with wlncn that truth is usually garnished. The preachers of the present gen eration seem all too prone to. break the news gently, to smoothe it over with a velvet cover, to grind down the rough edges and let the dear lay man believe liell isn t such an aw j ful place after all. What we need is; a race of ministers who aren l a.flaid ? of hurting the pride of the dear lis- j teners hv giving them the in * connection with the everlasting pen- j altv of sin. to remind them isn't any pink-hued bed of roses with ice water and good society. The churches need pastors who dl preach sermons in a language which vve all can understand, pastors who aren’t a bit squeamish about letting the world know the fate that is in store for those who take it for granted that just so they sit in their accus tomed seats in the church Sundays they can do almost any old thing in their everyday life and still walk thru the golden gate at judgment in a blaze of glory, men who will preach ctd fashioned hell fire and eternal damnation of sinners. That follow who was searching for p church and denomination in which the nastor would “cuss him out” was on the right track and if a few more of us wrndd get, the same viewpoint there wouldn’t he so many disappoint ments in Heaven. c?i'tst t nT T yFP \ j y Old-timers can recall when one’s so-, cial standing m i'ie commuiiit.v never was defmil- ■ re -!o * uiv.i! deci.n. lhen the deceased vu classified according to the number 01 hacks in his funer al. For instance, ’t. T : i - the heme tovri J we recall ohl Socrates Shagaway. He j never cut much of figuie socially, j But when he died, h*s "aiuily gave him a “30-hack funeral”—thereby assur ing his social sia uuig, also tiie lam* ily’s for years to come. For ati y ' t 'i vH’cge event 0 * were ev en -referred to as so many years be- j /» /» r ■ ;,’H _4. r _ Chnr»o**»Ot»hi o f\ tore ot alter o wa.* o hack funerah” Most peon 1 © like big funerals. When all’s said and done, that’s probably why King Tut has caught the popular fancy. It wasn’t so much that Tut lived a long time ago, or that the un earthing of his tomb had important scientific value but that Tut bad the “swellest funeral” in history—costing at least 15 millions of dollars. That beat even Tula the Hun, who died in the year 453. According to tradition., this Chinese conqueror was buried in an unknown river in a gold coffin, packed in jewels. As people get more civilized, funer als become more simple and less ex pensive. The other day it was reveal ed that William K. Vanderbilt, who died in Paris in 1920, left an estate of more than 54 million dollars, but SB,- 040.54 covered his funeral expenses, including bringing his remains back to America. Henry Clay Frick, who died in 1919, left a fortune of nearly 93 million dol lars. An accounting in court shows that his funeral cost only $11,489. These two multimillionaires were buried at an expense of only $1 for each $7,150 of the estates they left behind. You can imagine how gorge ous their funerals would have been if they had died in King Tut’s time. A considerable part of King Tut’s treasure was buried with him. No way of knowing how much for his tomb was looted by grave robbers a couple of thousand years ago, and they probably carried off the bulk of the gold and precious stones that were sealed up with him. Today the rich man’s fortune, in stead of being hidden away in his grave, goes on as an active influence representing him after his death. His fortune carries on the industries he founded. It builds libraries and mu seums and endows schools re search laboratories—the finest kind of monuments. families of smaller means, the tendency is still to spend more on a funeral than can be afforded. This is not so much to gratify vanity as it once was, but as an expression of respect and love for the departed. Then the years slip by—and it takes only a few of them to emphasize the folly and futility of costly funerals. “Vote Selling Charged in Ohio”— headline. In most of the States it is C. O.

On the heels of the high charges for lawyers' fees to prosecute a case against the railroads for the State comes another charge for hired men to carry on an audit of the State ac counts. Fifty dollars a day it is said is paid to a number of men day after day to do this work. Now the un sophistocated countryman, who is not familiar with this thing of big fees to men to do things that up here in the country w r e have imagined the State does wdth its own employees in the department of auditing and of justice will wonder why we have to hire ex tra men to do the job instead of ask ing the regulars to do it. And why we have to pay such big prices to the extra hands when the regulars get wages may be not a fourth as much. If the State gets its affairs into such a shape that it takes a lot of men weeks at a time to audit the ac counts it would seem that we need a bookkeeper more than we need any-, thing else to run the State govern ment, for any business institution should keep its accounts in such a shape that the balances can be shown every night. It does not cost as much to hire a bookkeeper who will have his accounts balanced every night as it does to hire an extra hand at SSO a day or a dozen of them as it seems I is the case now, to get the balances I adjusted after everything has been I jumbled into disorder. J I All this matter of hiring high-pnc- J ! ed men to do the work of the differ-; ! ent departments may seem of slight j consequence to the people of the State, who are complaining more and more every day about the mounting taxes, it is not so slight as the tion and leaders may think. The . State is an institution that is doing a business of hundreds of millions a year, and w T e seem to have ro intelli gent idea within several millions of . what our financial condition is. If a! country bank that does a business of a few' hundred thousand dollars, should find its accounts in such shape that it could not account for a few thousand when it closes its doors at. night the bank examiner would ask it j to keep the doors closed until it had its accounts straight. But th€ State can get in such condition that weeks ; of auditing by a big crowd of high- j priced me rcannot tell us within two j or three millions whether we have, money enough for current needs or ; not. And the serious feature of it is; that few of us take it all as a matter of any consequence. FOR OVER 40 YEARS HALL’S CATARRH MEDICINE he? ! bean uaed successfully in the treatment of Catarrh.

Sure, it sems to be human na- j ture or we saem to forget the ten com- | mandments one. I mean the big ma- j jority of us so-called Christians are, I or at times act the hypocrite and try —maybe unthoughtedly—to doom our fellowman by accusing him or her of something untrue or if it is true in some sense, rather than face the one that has done us an unfair deal, for fear we will hurt his or her feel ings but go talking it to others that so and so sold me rotten potatoes or lied to me, or tried to take advantage, cares for nothing but the almighty dollar and so on. We know then that sometime he or she will hear of it and cause more hardness and make more doubts among others, than it would. If we could be brave and Christ-like enough to hold our ton gues on, go to him or her at first and right the wrong. 1 This life is too short at best to make it bitter for some one. The Bible teaches that many were punished for sin, also teaches of others who were tried by afflictions, losses and so on and yet came out in the end true ‘ Christians and were made to rejoice \ and Job was made rich, but the thing; we need is more brotherly love andj not so much backbiting and ciritcism j but go face to face with what we have to say.

Ort April 21st, 1894, 29 years ago, Henry Anderson, colored, was under sentence to be hanged; he escaped from jail and was found in Martin county. While trying to escape from the sheriff who arrested him, he was shot and killed.
