Representative Harter, of Ohio, whose opposition to the free coinage of silver has given him considerable prominence of late, has handed Mr. j Holman, chairman of the Democratic j caucus, a request signed by forty odd Uemocrats, ior tne caning ui a caucus on the silver question, and Mr. Hol man says he will issue the call this week. The call may be issued and the caucus held, but unless it is much more largely attended than the last caucus held for the same purpose, it is not probable that it will settle the policy to be pursued by the House. ' It seems, strange that a man who was set down upon by the voters of the country as hard as was ex-Czar Reed, should still cherish political ambition, but he does, and he is working to secure the support of the Maine delegation to the Minneapolis convention to his Presidential preten sions. Mr. Harrison has called upon Mr. Blaine to checkmate the move ment, and he has promised to do so, but the man in the White House is afraid oi the ex-Speaker all the same, and he knows that he bears him neither love nor good-will. It begins to look as though the joint resolution providing for a consti tutional amendment authorizing the election of Senators by the people would get through Congress at this session. NASHVILLE NOTES. Wlyit the People of "Good Old Hash" aro Doing and Buying. The Masons of the town "and sur rounding country are expecting to have an interesting time for the next week or two. B. W. Hatcher, Esq., Grand Custodian oi the Masonic work in N. C, is expected to reach here this evening and will devote several days to the work of instruct ing the members of the order in the secret or unwritten mysteries of the Cralt. He was here last year for two weeks and did a good work for the order, not only in giving instruction in the secrets ol the order, but in im pressing upon the membership the great moral principles upon which the institution is founded. Rev. Mr. Chaffin moved his family to town last week and they are now comfortably settled down in the par sonage. The ladies had the house put in order and a nice supper on the table awaiting their arrival, for which he expressed much appreciation.. He will preach here the first and third Sundays in each month in the morn ing and at night. Mr. R. D. Tavlor, of Castalia, and Miss Dora Strickland, daughter of 6 M.C. Strickland.

Several of our citizens went down to Wilson Friday night to hear the Rev. Sam Jones lecture. While some were enthusiastic in his praise,' others admitted that he did not come up to their -expectation. Tastes, you know, will differ. That big hearted, whole souled, christian gentleman, Dr. Pat Exum, of Wayne county, was in town last week on a visit to his brother, Capt. J. H. Exum. The "Grippe" seems to have taken afresh hold upon our people as there is scarcely a family in town in which there is not a case of cold if not genu ine La Grippe. Mrs. Annie Brooks, mother of R. U. Brooks, Esq., we are sorry to say is quite sick with cold. We regret to have to state that Mrs. B. F. Collins is very sick. . Mrs. Martha Freeman is cn a visit to friends in town. Capt. J. H. Collins, our Chief of Police, who has been quite sick, we are pleased to say is much better, but has not yet left his room. Some ot our fanners are getting their guanos, but the general opinion seems to be that there will not be near so much used this year as last. Mrs. J. H. Exum went to Wilson to the Sam Jones lecture and has been spending the time since with friends in your progressive young city.

I was suffering from a severe attack of influ enza and catarrh and was induced to try your remedy. The result was mar velous. I could hardly articulate, and in less than twenty-four hours the ca tarrhal symptoms and my hoarseness disappeared and was able to sing a heavy-role in Grand Opera with voice unimpaired. I strongly recommend it to all singers. Wm. H. Hamilton, Lending Basso of the C. D. Hess Grand Opera. TISSOLUTION NOTICE.

W ness and bigotry ecclesiasticism, h: heartily agree with many of the nosi- bons he has fciken upon those Questions. but the Christianity of Christ is one thing and the historic perversions of that Christianity entirely another tlung. This definition is an attejnpt to give us the meaning of real Chri .uiaity. At least, upon tne surrace, stfen would oe the impression of the ordinary reader. The colonel therein displays Ignorance profound, parnfuL palfwtfci Snefe ft blunder vitiates all that may fallow based upon such a conception. His tes- tirnony, arter sncn a uenmuou to reai Christianity, is absolutely worthless. Parts of what he says may be partly the truth, and yet it is a half truth that is the farthest removed from the real truth. You may so accent that which is true that It may be the very antithesis of the truth WHY ROME BURNED. I The colonel here reminds me of the " boy who was studying history. His teacher told him that the "JemneKox Nero played the fiddle while Borne I burned.' He went home and told his I mother that the "Emperor Nero was t playing the fiddle so they burned Homo!" The language he used was al most identical with the language of the teacher, and yet the boy declared that they burned Rome because they did not like the tune that Nero played. He al most got it right. But in almost stating the truth he missed it the more com pletely. And j et wo must not judge the colonel too harshly. We cannot demand too much of a man who makes no profession of Christianity. Especially we most not bo severe in judgment upon the failure of such a man to know true Christianity when wo remember the tragic blunders of tho (Trusties thin."o1Te. Christ's own chosen ' ,;. ,.,(': m4:-:ri'1crtood htm up to t-iio very day of kus death. They drew their swords and attempted to defend him by force. He had to rebuke them and to explain again that his kingdom was not of this world; not of force, but of the spirit His leading disciples were found wrangling over the first places in the kingdom temporal which they sup posed ho had come to establish Though they lived thus in daily con tact with Christ, so far above their range of vision was his real mission that not until after his death did the meaning of his words begin to dawn tipon their souls. When we remember how his own chosen misunderstood htm, and bis professed fodowen bar batted tbeir professions and hare fafied to wnder etand his mission through the yean of the past, and have committed so many crimes in his sacred name, we must net be too harsh in our judgment of such a man aa Ingersoll if he fail to find the secret of the great heart of the true Christ. The failures of men through all these ages to comprehend the height and depth and glory of his mission only bring out in bold relief the sublime proportions of the truth that he came to teach. What is the Christianity of Christ? What is the Christianity for which this church stands today, for which I as a minister am striving? 1 do not ask what has been taught in the past about Chris tianity by theologians and exponnderaof systems of philosophy 1 ask what is the Christianity for which the living church strives and stands in this hour of the Nineteenth century? The Ch ristianity of Christ is that heart faith which manifests itself in a life of love, love to God and man, love to God through love to man, DEVILS BELIEVE. Firsts We say it is a heart faith. "With the heart man believeth." Chris tian faith is not a feat of the intellect over a philosophic proposition. It is an attitude of the soul. Devils believe. Belief in itself does not constitute Chris tianity. A man may believe any system of theology he may select, and -haTO nothing of Christ in his heart or life. Theology is of the head. Religion is of the heart. Theology is a science. Re ligion is a life. Man is not merely what lie believes. A creed in itself has no necessary connection with conduct A man may believe all things as an intel lectual fact and accept nothing connect- pt every dogma of the historic j creeds of all the ages and yet have with in a heart as black aa hell. Intellectual belief plays upon the surface of life. It does not touch the center of man's being. With the heart man believeth. "Out of the heart are the issues of life." BSHIXD A HAYSTACK. A man 3 prciessions or creeos or pm- i'joophies may be one thing, his actual character another. Profession, in fact, may or may not signify reality. Is a man a soldier and patriot? He professes J to be a soldier. He wears a uniform, j Ho has epaulets on his shoulders. Ho lias brass buttons on his coat, a stripe I down his pantaloons, a belt with an em ! blazoned buckle strapped with his sword, i Dut i he a soldier? He professes to be one. W e can only learn wnetner ne is when we see him in the fight. Now the battle is joiued. Across the plains the op posing hosts charge upon each other with deadly fury. The field is swept with storms of bullets, shot and shell. Now walk over the held and you will find the j Bouuers. yju . sucu an uovaniuu, a com n- 1 mander passing over the field, found subordinate officer crouching behind haystack. Turning upon him, he de manded, "What sort of a place 1b this for you, six?" The reply that greeted him was, "Why, do you reaDy think tho bullets can come throtrgh? This man wore the full uniform of battle. He had on all the acoouterments of war; but he was as far removed from a sol dier as though he had been a thousand miles removed from that battlefield. Belief about Christian history and dogma is not Christianity. Belief about tho questions of doctrine do not consti tute Christianity. A man may beliere everything that is stated tn dogmatic theology about the Atonement and yet have no part in it. A man may believe that the Bible is true, the whole of it is true and inspired, and yet in life he may deny every truth taught in it A man may believe in the divinity of Christ as an historic fact and yet crucify Christ every hour m his life. Some of the truest Christians in this world know ab solutely nothing about the questions tha agitate the world of theology and criti cism. In fact, they hare never read the Bible. Some of the truest Christians 1 know in the world are men and women who cannot read at all, who have no idea about the Trinity or Predestination or Election or Atonement as philosophic concepts, and yet their hearts are one with God. THE RICH TXrCTRQ KAN. Jesus Christ never promised salvation to any man for bo Bering anything about . himself. The rich young man came to Christ and asked him the painted ques tion, "Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal lifer He declared that he had kept the Jndaic code of morale to the letter. All the commandments from his youth up he had scrupulously obeyed. But Christianity was more than a code of morals., Jesus gave him distinctly to ' understand that fact. When he asked Christ this pointed question about the wry of eternal life, what did the Master answer? Did he say, "If you behove in the inspiration of the Old Testament you will be savedr No. Did he say, "If you believo that I am divine you can in herit eternal lifer" No, His answer startled the young man as it should startle the reed tinker of every ago. Looking into the face of this inquirer for eternal life we hear these wonderful words, "Go sell all thou hast and give to the poor.' The young man went away exceeding sorrowful, for he had great possessions. Jesns with that single question pierced to the very center of his heart life and laid bare its covetous Kioa. STRIPED MODELS. A mere code of morals may be per fectly practiced and not signify purity of heart To say Christianity is a code of mor&k k to' fail to comprehend the Very alphabet of the truth which Jesus came to teach. There are men in the state of New York who form model com munities. We have several of 'these model communities where a perfect code of morals is practiced regular habits, regular sleep, wholesome food taken iti proieT quantities, regular hours to rise and retire. In fact, these people ! conform perfectly to the outer code of unright, moral men. But we give them no credit because they wear striped clothes. Every peniteiitkuy u a com- j nranity whose citizen practice an iu code of morals in life, so far as they can j within the limitation of the walls. But ; it signifies nothing, because it is prac- J ticed for reasons external rather than j internal. - j Second Such a heart faith always j manifests itself in life. Colonel Ingersoll says that if the founder of Christianity had only plainly said, in so many words, ; "It is not necessary to believo in order fa be saved; it is only uecessTry to do," all would have been well. He fairly takes our braath away with such a state ment It reveals the fact, that with ail the colonel's years of assault upon the New Testament he has never read it No man who had read the New Testa-' Taent fSerintures could have made bo fool- Scriptures ish an assertion. - CHRISTIANITY A IJFK. This is precisely what Christ did say in so many words. "Not every one that sayeth unto me, ! Lord, Lord, shall enter into tho kingdom of heaven, but he that dooth the will of my Father which is ki heaven." "Inas much as ye did it not, depart" "Inas much as ye did it unto tho least of these, ' ye did it unto me. Enter thou into the kingdom prepared before- the foundation of the world." In other words, Christ directly taught that the heart faith j which is of the eswneo of his religion j always embodied itself in life. Christianity i3 a life. The Bible is a book of life. Therefore the Bible is a J bode ot eternal power. It will ever stir and move and sve the lives of men. It is alive, because it throbs with the life of the race, with the life of God as un-1 folded in the race. The Bible is not a systematic theology. It does not pro- fees to set forth for the guidance of the mind of man a systematized and con sistent schema of philosophy. Strip the Bible of the rubbish of traditionalism, : and there can be read into it no sys tematic scheme of sacred philosophy. It ; is the simple racord of life, it conta ins i contradictiooa, paradoxes, mysteries. These contradictions are tho contra dictions of life The paradoxes are the paradoxes of life. Its mysteries are I mysteries of life. As the secret of life elude the scalpel of the surgeon and tha biologist, so the secrets of divine life elude the dissecting knifo of the keen'- I philosopher or theologian. OOD IS FLESH. " ' The supremacy of Christian truth is not based on any philosophy taught by i Jesus Christ. It rests upon the person- ', ality of Christ. Hi' creed was his life. He did not come into the world to talk abuut truth. He teas the truth. The only supreme truth Is that embodied in lif o. No man who knows anything about the subject of comparative religion today pretends to deny that the divine is found in all religions. Much that Jesus taught had been taught before. God had not left the world in total darkess before the advent of Christ. Be had spoken to all racw and to all peoples.

That is, to eat his flesh and drink his blood, to partake of his life and his spirit! Aa he incarnated the truth, to incarnate the truth. As we incarnate his spirit, so are we of Christ. His spirit is the spiri of love. Love is the universal judge, the principle of love the only statute by which the race of man is to be arraigned. Tliis principle is not confined in its ap plicat ton to the territory of the Bible or the preacher. It is not , limited by the limitations of language. THE VOICE OF TKAB8.
