REV. ALDERMAN DEPENDS
Tlie Church Agaiust Slanderous At
aekt of Br. Cy. Tbompson and the
Vestibule s Utterances.
The Vestibule of l&3t week con
taining quite a, vigorous defense of
Dr. Oy Thompson's slanderous at
tack upon the Christian church,
created do little comment.
In addressing the children, Sun
day morning, at the Baptist church,
upon reasons why they should be
properly trained and faithful to the
church inasmuch as they were to be
the lea'dera in the coming years, Mr.
Aderoif;2 in hia maacerful way took
occasion to defend the church
against the recent slanderous attacks
of Cy. Thompson and others in
words as folio f 8 :
"L stead of excusing and regrett
ing the late slander upon the church
by Cy. Thompson, a paper in our
town rushes into the affray and ex
3laioi : 'We believe what Dr. CyruB
Thompson says and praise him for
it Then again it says: 'The pres
ent day church is a farce,' and again:
4The pulpit and the church press do
not by precept. or example carry out
the es&enc of Christianity.' Is it
true. that the preachers of to-day
preach the slavery and only the slav
ery of the people ? Is it true that
the pulpit says ho word about a
xsrncified Christ and Ws love to man
- aauu, uj nuiu nuuut j.cutu iu iiilu
and Bervice under him, no word
about turning from sin and striving
after good ? Do tbe church-going
people sustainthis slander and tes-
tlfy that from preaching Chri3t and
his greatlaw of love thejpulpits have
fallen to preaching the slavery of
.mankind ? But how can a paper that
seldom goes to church know what is
preached from the pulpit? It's idea
EeemB to-be that the church of God
.&nd the heralds of his salvation must
Ha&e their high calling of preaching
talv&tion from sin and service for
God and fall into the fierce ranks of
one certain political pj-rty and shout
riemsolyes hoarse for the measures
of that one political party. If one
ifails to lift his voice as a political
feeler then he is a stranger to
Christianity and an enslayer of the
"ptople.
Is thip true? Does the church la
bor only for the enslaving df the
people ? Does it do nothing for the
fuplif ting and emancip of the
people? Seep .to Africa and seel
iStep to China and observe.

false slanders against the charch of

sins and bold robbery, a clean city
morally, safety and comparative hap
piness. And is this worse than the
churchle88 wilds of tbe s west, where
life is not safe ancl- property is not
sure, and happiness knows no abfd
ing home? ' .
Bware of any would-be leader
that thus either knows not the fact
or deliberately falsifies the facts.
Beware of one that would prostitute
tha church of God from emancipat
ing man from the slavery of sin to
the law and time serving slavery of
heeling a political party. ri he mis
sion of the church is to carry liberty
from sin, and salvation for eternity,
to all classes regardless of their po
litical and temporal classes and
parties. And it would be a sad day
for humanity that should see the
church of God" dethroned from its
high calling and bound in and by
the fetters of a fiercepohtical party.
But the Savior hath said that the
gates of hell shall not prevail against
His church."

could be done to. save jny life. As
a last resort, I was induced, to try
Ayer's Sarsaparilla, and, after tak

began to disappear and my general
health improve. I persisted in this
treatment, until the sore was en
tirely healed. Since then, I use
Ayer's Sarsaparilla occasionally as
a tonic and blood-purifier, and, in

The law of North Carolina;
See Chapter 116 Sees. 34, 35,
36 and 37 acts of 1895 requires
every. Physician, Dentist,
Lawyer and Hotel or Boarding
house keeper to pay a license
tax and take out a license,
under a penalty of thirty days
imprisonment or fine of fifty
dollars, for failure to pay the
license tax. The lawfurther
mm
makes it my imperative duty
to see that the penalty of fifty
dollars is, inforced. Yery few
have complied with the law.
Unless the . parties . liable to
pay this tax, come forward
promptly I will be compelled
(unwillingly as I am) to see
that the law is inforced.
