JEPHT II Airs D AU G IITE R; WAS SHE
; SLAIN I ' '
The Rev. J P Rogers pre
sented to us his "Life of "Rev.
James Needham," whicn it has
not been our privilege to peruse
5 1 its entirety but we - see that
he ch ose a sub j ect that could
well inspire his pen. ; -On pages
16 to 17 we light upon the'f oUow
ing remarkable paragraph:
'On one occasion ' the ' case of
''Jephthah's daughter came up for
discussion by a number o !
preachers :at a ' district confer
ence. Father Needham said-that
Jephthah did not sacrifice his
daughter. The other preachers,
affirmed that he did. Dr. W.,
the scholarly Presiding Elder,
was called in and demanded
the reason for his belief.
Father iNeedham asked: 'Why
did God drive out and destroy
the Canaanites?' The doctor re
plied that it was because of hu
man sacrifice. He then asked
him: 'What was the law - of a
vow?' He did not answer and
Father Needham replied that the
I a w cf a- vow required that an
unlawful object brought for sac
rifice; must be taken before the
priest and valued, whether good
are bad, and a lawful sacrifice
was offered instead. The doctor
replied: 'I give it up, I give it
up."'
We know that many believe
th a h Jephthah's daughter was not
slain, for human life as a sacrifi
cial offering except that of the
Saviour is no where encouraged
in the Bible, but the explanation
we have heard was that marriage
and posterity was the ambition
of all in those days, (hence the
T ief of the barren).
In that wonderful 11th chapter
i f Judges,1 it is shown that "she
--.: ew not a man" and that for two
) . onths she went up and down in
the mountains with her friends
and bewailed her virginity. It
is held by some therefore that
she was excluded from the asso
.. ciations of the young and the
-privilege of courtship "and mar
riage which was a great sacri
fice.
It occurs to the writer that
this latter may be a part of the
price at wnicn tms ottering ot a
precious daughter was valued as
no material or property value
- could be adequate. It seems' a
solution, to say the least, less a
variance witn tne woramsr oi
that chapter than the actual slay

;-i:No doubt the: imilL operatives
at Concord will be allowed to own,
.possess , and -enjoyiall the dogs
they wish. j r Ifja dog, why not a
hog? If not a hog, whya dog ;'
Thisreminds us of a friend,
whom' we t credit ' with sincerity,;
and less of envy than 'his words
would, amply, who 'complained
that the factory. -owners would
prevent them from-keeping bogs
while other citizens of the town
enjoyed the privilege. Not the
prohibition was complained of so
much as the -inequality of privi
leges. ' ' " ;
We are not authorized to ana-
swer for tese mill owners, but
it never occurred to us that the
privileges of other citizens or the
comparative merits or demerits
of thehog and vdog : necessarily
entered - into the - riQnsideration s ;
but the ' simple 'Question, 'would
he health, happiness and pros-
pefity of ' the operatives be
promoted by the removal of the
hosr pens irotu thes densely-
populated communities. ?
If the afilrmative is decided
upon the action of the mill men
is proper. 2 The accomplishment
of these ends is of , like interest
to owners and operatives of the
mills and we an't tell which will
be the -greater gainers thci-eby.
There is no line "of reasoning
by which we can conclude that
other than mutual interests were
sought and ' could be obtained
only in this way, as one uncon
genial neighbor maybe a menace
to the health and comfort of very
many
If the dog is a menace to health
and happiness, then remove him
without reference to the hog.

is with the teachings of the
YELLOW STONE PARK A FARCE.
Senator Butler said in his
speech at the organization of - the
Appalachain National Associa
tion at'Asheville on the 22nd that
the geysers of Yellow Stone
Park fail to flow much of the
time, that many visitors fail to
see them spouting and that out
side of the. geysers and Yellow
stone canyon there is little to at:
tract aay one and that h e had never
known of any body that visited it
twice. We take it that the sen a
tor -was-f rank-in -this and herein
is a decided letting down of our
ideas of the Yellowstone Park.
