Kev. Dr. Dixon on Sheparri.
Rev. Thomas Dixon. Jr., a native
of North Carolina, an,d pastor now
of Twenty third Street Baptist
Church, New York, saidjthe follow
ing to his congregation about the
Mail and Express edited by Elliott
F. Shepard:
"Such a newspaper assumes a
pious whine, nauseating in the ex
treme, and poses as a representa
tive of Christianity, it could not
live 'without the assumption of some
moral force; it would not be tolerat
ed, and so it steals the livery of
heaven. In the name of Cod and of
truth, oMionesty aud of integrity, I.
for one, repudiate this socalled
newspaper as in any sense represent
tative of Christianity. The God
that presides over the editorial staff
of the Mail and Express and such
papers is not my God. About a
near as I can make it, his God is the
devil, whom I fight and fear, with
this exception, that the devil is
shrewder andmore artistic in his
methods.
"Hear this quasi editor shriek for
an army of a million men to march
on Richmond! For what? To rob
the dying of the memory of the
dead. Such men are neither brute
or human; they are ghouls. The
spirit of war is cruel and bloody,and
yet war is manly and brave. War
riors never bayonet the dead. They
never fire on a hospital. Twenty
five years have rolled away since
those awtul days. Peace and pros
perity onward flow over mountain
and plain and sea. And now in the
midst of all these things the little
tin soldier wakes up suddenly and
wearies the ears of heaven and earth
with his little tin horn,
"Keep such newspapers from your
homes as you would a pest. If you
want vicious literature use the bald
vulgarity of Swift or the naked real
ism f Zola. It would be less dan
gerous than the hatred and '.bigotry
and malice and falsehood of such a
sheet wrapped up in a Scripture
text. Men of the North and men of
the South, we are brethren. Let us
hear to day the voice of the heroic
dead. They all speak for peace and
for harmony. The brave and true
never fight after the battle is closed.
The time has come for -us to take
each other by the hand, crush those
influences that seek to perpetuate
strife for a base, ignoble purpose.
God help us, that we may nave, in
deed and truth, one glorious, united
nation."
Blow Your Nose.
t
Alas, too often an admonition of a
mother to her child. The poor in
nocent has probably inherited ca
tarrh and is not responsible for its
sore and filthy nostrils. Did you
know that tender, soft, thin skin
lining the nostrils, cal led the mucous
membrane, ' extends all over the
body. Every organ iu the system
and every orifice at the surface has
this thin delicate lining as a protee,
tor. So yon see what a fix the body
is thrown into when the mucous
membrane' becomes irritated and in
flamed by constant friction with
poisonous matter in the blood. Ca
tarrh, leucorhear and piles result
frequently froAi this condition of af
fairs. These diseases are mere syinp
torus of impoverished blood. Now
B B B or Botanic Blood Balm, will
by enriching the blood cause ail such
synitoms to disappear. Give it a
trial.
Henry Reeves. Shellman, Ga.,,
writes:" "Any man or woman who
is suffering from piles and will not
use Botanic Blood Balm is a tool,
and it takes me to tell them so, for I
suffered two years with bleeding
piles, and B B B relieved me at
once."
J. J. Hardy, Toccoa, Ga., writes:
"B B B is a quick cure for catarrh.
Three bottles cured me. I had been
troubled several years,
James W. Lancaster, Hawkius
ville. Ga, writes: My, wife was in
bad health for eight years. Five
doctors and as many or more differ
ent natent medicines had done her
