"Our mother armed us for tbe fray;
Her love,' undaunted, led tbe way,.
; Her love shall lead us still." ;
Sanotifl nation Band Beaufort.
It is told of the venerable Her.
Dr. CIors that he was attending a
Bession of the North Carolina Meth
odist Conference once and there
were two of his ministerial brethren
whu professed "Sanctiflcation," but
both lost their temper during de
bate on some question. Dr. CIosh
arose, and, in that inimitable way
of. his, "thanked tha Lord Hh at
there waa only two sanctified j men
in the conference." - j '
I was told of a man living down
in Mississippi, who professed san'c
tification and in an unguarded mo
ment killed a negro. When ques
tioned about it he'eooly stated that
while it might look like sin to do
such a thing,. that there was no sin
in this particular killing, because
he was sanctified and, therefore,
could not sin, consequently there
was no sin connected with the 'slay
ing of this descendant of Ham. .
In the same state there was a
woman who professed to be sancti
fied and in relating her experience
she said that she felt that she was
"as good as God and getting better
every day - . ,
To an ordinary every day mortal
who recognizes tbe conditions that
surround him, these "holy people,"
removed from the least "iendency"
of "inclination". to do anything ex
cept praise the Lord, and who are
elevated bo high that they never
feel the least temptation to think,
say or do anything except good,
the "sanctified band" now sojourn
ing at Beaufort will attract bis in
terest... j '
About; thirty members of the
Methodist Episcopal church, South,
on Chincoteauge Island, Va:, be
came "holy" and in the year 1 1887,
they demanded of the church that
a "holy" man be sent to preach the
gospel to tbem, and refused to'cqn
tribute to the support of any other.
A simple, earnest, sincere, every
day sort of Methodist preacher was
assigned to that' work, greatly to
the disgust of the "sanctified" and
the 'holy people" haying a "corner,"
so to -speak, on God's mercy.- The
"holy" ones marched out, of the
church in a body, headed by Joseph
1$ Lynch, an old class leader. He
and Sarah E. Collins then became
the leaders of the new order of re
ligionists. They organized the
"holy" people into the "Sanctified
Band" and proceeded to spread the
new gospel among the simple heart
ed fishermen of the coast of .Vir
ginia, Delaware, Maryland and
North Carolina. There appears to
be something in the nature of hu
manity that makea it so easy to
spread any religious ideas and se
cure adherents. I do not believe
any one could devise any new --religion
but that he would find a-few
sincere, good people who would take
hold of it and become enthusiastic
advocates. 7 -1 ' ,
" So well did the "Sanciified;Bahd"
succeed in spreading theiri gospel
of absolute freedom from even the
tendency or inclination to 6ln, that
thev soon counted their adherents
by the hundreds. In "April,, 1895,
they constructed "flotts" ori"arks"
in which to live- and by means of
which to travel from place to place
along the coast and disseminate
their gospel There are iftve of
these arks at Beau fort now. A few
days since I went down to see three
of them (the other two having ar
rived since) and to interview these
people w th relation to their mode
of life and their .religious belief.
The "arks" are built like houses on
large boats and are divided into
separate apartments, which are
used, I was jn formed, by the sepa
rate families rending thereon.
There were on the three arks visited
by me, sixt -four people, i, wen ty-
five of whom were children. The
little fellows looked happy-f-full of
life, and about as the children of
other people living along the coast.
The grown people appeared to be
of about the average intelligence of
other fishermen. Thev were full
of their religion seem to have the
words of the Bible at their tongue's
end and.to delight in answering
questions in biblical language. As
one would answer the various ques
tions I asked, tbe others would say
"that's eo ; that's the truth.? They
live by catching fish and qysters
and are therefore perfectly' inde
pendent of the people among whom
they preach.
These people are reported to re
gard lightly the marriage jvow and
when I asked them how they look
ed upon marriage, they quoted 1st
Corinthians, 7th chapter,'- 13th
and 15th verses. ,
There was one woman present
who had left her husband and
three children to be with tbe "holy"
people. In reply td my questions,
she stated that, after she became
j"holy" she could not livej with her
husband; he was not holy" and
was not willing for. her to preach,
shout and be "holy," and forced
her to leave him or give up her re
ligion. She did not appear I to
think that it was her duty to stay
with her husband and children,
even at the expense of giving! up
preaching and shouting. The
"band" appeared to look upon her as
an especially shining light and one
that would get an extra Jewel or
two in her crown. Being of the
old-fashioned sort, I could not help
thinking of the little motherless
children, growing up without! a
mother's care and love. The
thought came in my mind if this
be religion, give me heathenism;
there the mother loves her chil
dren, li she does bow down to
stocks and stones.
The doctrine of the band is that
"the righteous shall marry their
own nation, and I was Informed
that three couples had been mar
ried since they "got on de ark," and
that the marriage cereoiony was
performed by "Sister Collins," li
cense being secured. They say
they don't believe in "free love" or
polygamy. j
On tbe question of doctrine they
say that "none are saved unless
sanctified none sanctified without
knowing it; none know it without
telling it. The moment a man is
sanctified it is. a personal exper
ience and be knows it. The dif
ference between a 'sanctified' and
a 'justified' man, is that the un-
sanctified man has a nature that
leads him to evil, and the sanctifi
ed a nature freed from any 'in
clination' to sin. Sanctification is
two separate acts: 1st. Justifica
tion, or pardon for past sins; 2ndT
Application of the blood of Christ
which eradicates' natural inclina
tion to sin." - . j
They denounce an "ungodly pul
pit" that preaches a doctrine that
man cannot help sinning," and
they quote: "Be ye perfect," with
considerable relish. .1
"We are the people" is a favorite
expression with them, and they ap
pear to look down on the, rest of
the world as from a high eminence.
with a sort of contemptuous pity.
On Sunday evening I went to one
of their public meetings in a grove.
A stand had been erected on which
stood 25 or 30 of the "band" and
one of the sisters first addressed
the audience, and she spoke as one
carried away with her subject
reaching almost the point of hys
teria. "We are the people who
have found holiness and are be
yond the power of tin," was the
burden of her exhortation, .wnen
rhe ceased talking the "band"
struck up an old-fashioned camp-
meeting song and every muscle in
the body of every member of the
band became alive with action
They slapped their hands, jumped
in tbe air, kicked their feet, and
swayed from. side to side all the
time they sang. The music was of
the wierd order; the faces of the
participants drawn and the lines
on some of the faces deeply mark
ed, i They moved in perfect con
cert. I never saw ballet dancers
keep better time or move in more
perfect accord. Excitement was
intense and interest great.
There was something pathetic
about the meeting. It reminded
me of a negro revival where the
amount, of religion was measured
by the excitement engendered and
the skill of the leader in arousing
the fear and bringing into play the
imagination of his hearers. !
There is a feeling among the
best people, of Beaufort that the
presence of the "Sanctified Band"
could be very well dispensed with
and that they would try and worry
along as they .have in the years
that have passed Into history if
they would move on to other quar
ters and enlighten other people.

BOIES REJECTS 16 TO 1.
Does Not Believe It Possible to Win
, Sneoeaa on That Platform. -
"For one, I do not believe it pos
aible to succeed upon a platform
that demands tbe unqualified free
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 with gold. We have fought
that battle and it is lost. We can
never fight it over under circum
stances more favorable to our
selves. If we' hope tn succeed we
must abandon this extreme de
mand." .; '
In these, words Horace Boies,
former Governor of Iowa, and for
iner Democratic presidential as
pirant expresses nis views in a
letter i to! Col. D. M. Fox, of Des
Moines. ; - j
"The i friends of silver, though
once defeated, are not yet demoral
ized," the letter continues, j "This
will, not be true after a second de
feat. tln our next great battle we
must win or our cause is lost."
Although Mr. Boies has in pri
vate frequently expressed hostility
to the; 16 to 1 plank of the Chicago
platform,' this is the first authori
tative declaration from him to that
effect. j In publicly declaring it to
b a dead issue, he gives at; leng'b
his reasons for asserting it to be
such, i He says the voters buried it
under 'the belief that it meant sil
ver monometallism pure ant sim
ple, which would increase instead
of diminishing the misfortunes at
tributed to the single gold stan
dard.! : ;1 ... j . ' - h
"It j matters not," he says, "how
we convince the people the gold
standard is wrong unless' we
convince; them that what we offer
in its place is better Instead of
worse?' j ; ! I
By adoption of the 16 to 1 plank,
he declares, the delegates to the
Chicago j convention forced the sil
ver men to assume the defensive
for their creed. The result, he
states, was the weakening ; instead
of strengthening of their ranks, as
their platform was. battered by the
arguments of their opponents In
an interview ex Governor- Boies
said r ii j .. ''''!'' I
'"As i between a straight gold
standard and the free coinage of
silver at! 16 to 1, I should favor the
16 to 1 doctrine, though I believe
there is1 some more conservative
way of I adjusting this question.
At the State convention at Du
buque I last! year I prepared and
submitted a plank which I wished
to have; incorporated In tbe plat
form, a! plank which would toot
have pledged the- party to a
straightouti 16 to 1 policy. But
my suzeestion was killed in the
committee room by some of the
radical silver leaders.
"The Idea which I advocated in
my letter jto Colonel Fox was to
Issue treasury notes in exchange
for both gold and silver Duuion at
the treasury of the United States
at its commercial value, such value
to be determined by the market
prices) at tbe leading centres of
trade on the day of receipt, the
notes to be redeemable in either
gold or silver at the option of the
government at the commercial value
of the metals on the day of re
demption. I We can so frame the
details of such a plan at to attract
to the treasury of the nation every
grain of silver mined in the United
States that can be spared for mone
tary purposes, until the last .dollar
of paper currency now in use in
this country has been supplement
ed -to its full face value by silver
and gold. I
"You may call this what you
like perhaps bimetallism; the
mahridea is to have a currency
based on the precious metals which
are i held by tbe government, not
necessarily coined. I cannot see
wherein this ctn fail of increasing
a demand for silver and diminish
ing the demand for gold. Silver
will, go up, gold will go down.
Neither will the adoption of this
plan result in gold or silver mono
metalism." J-
j No Farther Legislation.
The prospects are that there will
be no other legislation of import
ance! at this session of Congress,
except the tariff bill. It has been
stated before that neither the Ha
waiian! annexation, treaty, nor any
currency legislation will come j up
in the Senate. It is also known
that a quorum cannot be maintain
ed in the' Senate after the tarin
bill is out of tbe way. As soon as
the bill' is sent to the House the
Senate will take up the general de
ficiency bill, and it is expected that
considerable time will be occupied
by it. ijThe Senate will consider a
number of nominations over which
there is some? contention. ; It has
been; suggested that the Alaskan
boundary treaty may be called up,
but as it will provoke considerame
discussion it will be allowed to go
over until next session.

DISTRIBUTING SEED.
OverTwenty Million Packages Have
? Been Sent Out.
Over twenty million packages of
vegetable, f flower and fleld seed
have been distributed by the De
partment of Agriculture during the
past spring. Tbis distributi n has
given to each member of Congress
40,000 packages of seed at a total
cost of $130,000. Over a million
of these packages were flower seed,
and nearly 300,000. field seed, the
balance being a great variety of
vegetables. In the entire distribu
tion nearly every variety of vegeta
ble known to the agriculturalists
was distributed. There were 32j
varieties - of beans, 10 varieties of!
beets,- 23 j varieties of cabbage, ll
varieties of carrots, 19 varieties of
sweet corn, 18 kinds of cucumbersj
30 kinds of lettuce, 19 varieties of!
muskmelons. 17 kinds of water
melons and 15 varieties of onions
The entire amount of seeds dis
tributed were sufficient to plant an
area of 355 square miles,' or about
six times the size of the District of
Columbia;
This is the largest distribution
of seed ever attempted by the De
partraent of Agriculture, and it m
said that seedmen all oxer the oun
try are complaining that they d
not make sales to farmers and oth
ers because tbey are getting all th ;
seed they want free from the De
partment of Agriculture.
The distribution of seed in 1893
amounted to 8.8001 packages fir
each member of Congress, at. a tr -tal
cost of $06,518;. in-1894 eac li
congresstnan got 16,000 package ),
