Manager, Asheville, X. C. Do the best you can, and don't bother yourself about what men will think of you, or what will be come of you after death. It can't be ill with the righteous. . Some boys are bo rough and noisy that they are a nuisance in every house where they go. To be welcome in the family, a boy should be polite and agreeable. There is too much extravagant living in the country. The result is debt, embarrassment, bank ruptcy. Fast living and a slow income do not go well together. Preachers have too much finan cial work to do. It interferes with their private devotions, their studies and their pastoral work. Collecting should be done by lay men. An inefficient steward is a posi tive curse to a church; he will neither collect nor allow anybody else to collect ; he is a barren fig tree, that cumbers the ground. He ought to be cut down officially. The Pacific Methodist Advocate has put in its appearance in our sanctum, Vol. I, No'. 23. H. M. Dubose is editor, and Barbee & Smith publishers. It has a small face with three wide columns to the page, and twelve pages. Men can be happy without fine houses, luxurious tables, and costly apparel. A small house out of debt ia better than a great edifice with a mortgage on it. It is better to be snubbed by fashionable so ciety than to be persecuted by the sheriff. Some men manifest their zeal for the glory of God by arguing in favor of cards, ball-rooms and the atres. They never expect any one to pray, to trust in Christ, or to deny themselves ; they spend their whole force in combatting asceti cism and puritanism in the Church. The fact is they love sin, but want to pass for championB of a broad Christianity. A man of means who refuses to contribute to the missionary cause, lacks either intelligence or piety. Where men have both intelligence and piety, we never fail to get mis sionary money from them, if they have it. A man can as easily be a Christian without prayer, as without giving for the conversion of the world, or at least willing ness to give. The Nashville Advocate has an editorial on "Vote as You Pray," a saying which it thinks is often used "in a thoughtless and unin telligent way." May be so. But it is a capital rule. What is hurt ing the country is praying one way and voting another; praying for prohibition and voting for men, and parties and measures that are arrayed against That we pray for. Barkeepers do not deserve the sympathies of their neighbors, when their boys become drunkards. We have known some cases where their wives have become addicted to drink. This is a righteous judg ment sent on them. In such a case they are not entitled to a par ticle of sympathy; they eper.d their time in destroying the peace of families, and they deserve no peace themselves. We kicked before Ave were spur red. The St. Louis Advocate very politely apologizes for omitting the W. X. C. Methodist from its notice of Southern Methodist ex changes. It had not gotten round to us. Our turn will come yet. We are ashamed of our impa tience. But we were not going to fall out with the editors of this great Advocate worthy to issue from our greatest Southwestern City. The editor wishes to acknowl edge his indebtedness to the Ral eigh and Statesville Christian Ad vocates for valuable personal and Methodistic items. These papers are well printed andP loaded with valuable thought and information. The Raleigh shows marks of thor ough and systematic editing, con taining a variety of useful matter, and a thorough digest of connec tional news and general intelli gence. Sam Small has been "dropped at his own request" from the Utah Conterence, and he is again a newspaper man in Atlanta. He has not given up his divine hope, so far as wre know. Richmond Ad vocate. Dr. Small will edit a daily lhat advocates prohibition. This work well conducted will be good work, the work of God. But is there not dai ger that Small will hurt the party? These days the sentiments of writers cannot be gathered from what they write. To know what they believe, you must read be tween the lines. When you find a temperance advocate awfully afraid of politics in the Church, of one-idead men, of fanaticism, you may know where to locate him. He is either directly opposed to temperance and prohibition, or is so wedded to some political party that he will wink at the liquor traffic rather than hurt his party. They hold with the hare and run with the hound, but hold mainly with the hound. It is reported here that there is a certain individual traveling over the parish selling jewelry to ne groes, and taking their notes in payment, with the promise that these notes will not be taken up in case the debtors vote for the Lottery. This report comes to us from responsible parlies, and we have no inclination to doubt it. Webster (La.,) Signal. It is the intention of the advo cates of the lottery to buy up the negroes. The men who are bad enough to gamble, and to carry on lottery gambling, will stickle at nothing. The men who buy the tickets are aB mean as the men who sell them. Are there any Methodists in the country that have bought lottery tickets?" If so, what are you? Best Evidence of Christianity. A very intelligent gentleman, who is a thorough-going free thinker, said recently to the writer : "For the opinions of those who, after a careful, truth-seeking ex amination of the records, become believers in Christianity, I have the profounde6t respect ; but .the yre&t mass of so-called Christians, who accept their creeds in full, ready-made, knowing almost noth ing of the history of their religion, deserve no credit for believing as they do. Tbey are Christians for the same reason that they are dem ocrats or republicans because their fathers and grandfathers be fore them were. And the strange thing about it all is, the advocates of Christianity make faith the leading requisite to salvation exalt it as the prime virtue. If faith be honest belief, founded upon reason and evidence, what virtue can there be in it when it becomes merely hereditary? WhaJ credit does a man deserve who im ports his theology made to order and labeled?" When it comes to the question of belief or non-belief in Chris tianity, there are only two sides. With all a man's variations from the beaten path of theology, he is either on one side of the great cen tral question or the other. If he comes to the conclusion Christian ity is true, it differs little how in dependently he acts in reaching his conclusion, he finds himself on the side of the majority of those who may be regarded as the leaders of religious thought. He must either believe or reject with millions of others. The masses of men, it is true, have neither the time nor the abil ity to examine for themselves the historical evidences of Christian ity. In religion, as in politics and science, they must needs leave the discussion of abstract princi ples largely to their leaders. They must and will accept as true cer tain fundamental dogmas, without demanding the authority for them. And this faith, this confidence in others, is not without virtue. It is by accepting as truth the bulk of what we believe, that we mtke progress. If every man had to examine afresh into the rudiment al truths of life, the experience of others would contain no lessons for us. We should be content to take nothing second-hand. Instead of resting upon foundations laid by our predecessors, and rearing thereupon new superstructures, we should exhaust our lease of life without accomplishing more than what our predecessors have accom plished. We are not emphasizing the idea that any one should be abjectly dependent on others for his opin ions that, however illiterate, he should be an intellectual automa ton. On the contrary, let every man exercisej in the formation of his religious or political creed, a manly self-reliance. His field of investigation may be limited; still he will find within its bounds ample scope for independent thought. One does not have to know all the facto of history all the ins and puts of the life of Christ and the apostles in order to make a just verdict touching Christianity. The best evidence in the world is the most palpable. It is the evi dence open to all minds. The common man knows little of his torical evidence, and cares little. That a God-man once walked the plains of Galilee and the hills of Judea, performed miracles of be nevolent character, taught truths far in advance of his times, at tacked dead ceremony in worship, brought upon himself the enmity of those in authority, was . ar raigned on a double charge, was convicted against the evidence, and was hanged upon Golgotha's cross, are facts comprehended by the ordinary man only in a vague way. There is to him about thi3 historical life a dreaminess, alack of flesh and blood, a shadowy in distinctness, that would not of itself impel him to right doing. It is the force of that character, reacting upon the lives of those around him that brings conviction. It is the continuous presence of Christ's Spirit, breath ing into the physically dead acts of h:s life and the cold words of his teaching a deathless inspira tion, that constrains him to be lieve. This plain, honest, ignorant man sees a friend, whom misfor tune has pursued, lying prone in the gutter, his manhood paralyzed by drink. Under the influence of the thing called religion the un fortunate one becomes a man again, shoulders his responsibili ties as a man once more, and marches bravely along the path of right. He sees about, him tho?e who apparently despise the pleasures, the comforts the emoluments of life ; who are ready to leave happy homes, to give up position and congenial associations in their native land, and go away across seas to distant shores, among a people who have little, not even a language in common with them ; who may despise their teachings, may even murder them for at tempting to teach. And these men and women make sueh a sac rifice all for the sake of a Jew that was put to death near Jerusalem two thousand years ago ! He sees men around him build ing homes for the insane, the blind, the deaf and dumb, for fallen men and fallen women, for the poor and the sick, and he asks them why they do these things. When they tell him it is all for the sake of an obscure Galilean who has been dead twenty centuries, is it strange he believes that Galilean must have been a wonderful man? He hears good men Bay they have comfort in all life's troubles ; that they are guided by an in fluence which helps them to do right. And whan these good men come to die, he sees them stand upon the threshold of that most fearful experience that tragedy of all tragedies that mystery of all mysteries and hears them say without fear, even with joy, to those behind, "All is well." The best evidence of Christian ity is found in the lives and pro fessions of living men. This evi dence, conjoined with a personal experience of the forgiveness of sins, an awakened instinct of re ligion, an inward consciousness of God, constitutes an irrefragable proof that Christianity ia divine. Religion in the life and religion in the heart are the Jachin and Boaz of the temple of Christian evidences. Snap Judgement. A few weeks ago we noticed in these columns the arrest of D. R. Rader, of Rader's depot, Greene county, for mak ing false returns of his shipments. The sequal was told in the Federal court, last Friday, at Knoxville, when the judge sentenced him to two years im prisonment in the penitentiary at Co lumbus, Ohio, for attempting to bribe U. S. attorney general Lindsay with a $20 gold piece. The Judge in deliver ing the sentence pleasantly informed him that but for his bold attempt to bribe the case against bim, he would have been dismissed on payment of the costs. Morristown Gazette. - We do not know Mr. Rader; neither do we know who the judge in the case was. But if the above account is correct, it appears to us, that the judge made a bad break as well as Mr. Rader. By his own confession the case was such that Mr. Rader did not deserve to be sent to the penitentiary. He was therefore not sentenced to the penitentiary for the crime for which he had been tried, but for a crime for which he was not tried. He was sentenced to the peniten tiary for an attempt to bribe the attorney general, and that without a form of trial or an : opportEitv to answer. In this case &e fudge is judge, witness and jury. The other case would have been dis missed. Was this right, according to law and evidence? Then, ad mitting the attempt to bribe, it was still right. The case should have been dismissed, and Mr, Ra der should have been put on his trial for offering a bribe. The federal court may have had no jurisdiction over such a case ; and it may have been triable only in a State court ; so much the worse for the judge. What right had he to take jurisdiction over a State case? And what right to convict and sentence a man without due form of trial by his peers? We are not a lawyer; but this is the way the thing looks to us. Prohibition and Iowa Politics. lion. Jerry Murphy, of Davenport, Iowa, is in Washington. .Speaking of Iowa politics he said:' "To be sure Boies will be re-elected, and by a bigger majority, to show how our people ad mire a clean administration and an honest man. The democrats will win in a walk on the liquor question. Look at my town Davenport. Under pro hibition we have 250 saloons and gei. no revenue; by a license law there wouldn't be over 150, and the tax would bring into the treasury $50,000. In all the large cities and river towns liquor can be had without trouble and the people are tired of this farce. Bristol Courier. . "A clean administration," and "a walk on the liquor question" don't go well together. If prohi bition increases the saloons, why do saloonists vote against prohibi tion all the time. You remember the story of the little boy that got to school by turning and going the other way. The country has now learned how to flood the country with whiskey by just voting for prohibition ! The democrats who oppose prohibition are the great temperance party of Iowa ; they vote against prohibition in order to put down the saloons! The prohibitionists are working in the interest of the still'houses and grogshops ! If their principles are carried out, the country will be ruined; we shall become a nation of drunkards 1 "Will win in a walk on the liquor question!" Of course all Christians and triends of temperance will unite with the democrats in fighting the prohibi tionists and the saloons! If Gov. Boies is re-elected there will be dry times in Iowa ! Drinking and drunkenness will be numbered amongst the things that were be fore the flood I The ' women will not be able to get whiskey enough for their camphor! Then Gov. Boies will loom up as a presiden tial candidate will be elected, and the country will be ruined for want of whiskey! Surely the good people of Iowa, who fear God and love whiskey, ought to see to it that Boies is crucified and de mocracy electrocated. Mobs Again. Dr. Price and Dr. Converse are having a tilt over the Bristol hang ing. As to the merits of the dis cussion, we have nothing to say; but when the South ceases to treat certain crimes with the summary justice it has always visited on 6uch criminals, it will have taken a dangerous step. We say this because it has an element to con tend with which can be restrained with great difficulty even when doomed to summary punishment. Holston Methodist. There is no tilt except that we oppose mob violence and Dr. Con verse advocates it. The above paragraph winks at the evil. It is the duty of Christian journals to uphold the supremacy of law. If the world is getting better, as the Holston Methodist, holds in the article from which the above is clipped, then the courts are get ting better and more to be trusted than ever. If this is so, there is less apology for lynching than ever, in fact there is no apology for it in a well regulated govern ment ; one hanging by law is worth more to the commun.fy than a thousand contrary t-. law. The law cannot be niended by breaking it. Order cannot e established by disorder. Any nan who kills another except in elf-defence or through the regult f courts is a murderer. Lynching can oniy be justified upon the hypothes.j that there is no law and no cour';, or that the courts are corrupt. But the courts are what the people make them ; they are as good as the people; if they are not to be trusted, thepeo are not to be trusted; and if the people as a whole are not to be trusted, surely the scum of society, the lewd men of the baser sort, that usually constitute the bulk of mobs, are not to be trusted. Justice that cannot be adminis tered through the courts should not be administered at all. A mob is as much the enemy of socie ty, as a robber or a mur derer. A mob is no rem edy for anything. It does not diminish vice or the probabilities thereof; it increases it by increas ing a disregard of the law and the authorities. It multiplies crimes by demoralizing the men who en gage in it, and endorse it. The days of persecution have revived. There have been two cases of violence towards minis ters in North Carolina, and two in Texas recently. Mobs are now winked at by the authorities, ad vocated by the press, religious and secular; why . should not preachers be mobbed? They are interfering with balls, barrooms and brothels. NOTES AND PEBSONALS. Miss Mae Bates, of Knoxville, Tenn., has' taken the stage. We are sorry. Henry M. Stanly, the great Af rican Explorer, accidentally frac tured his left, thigh bone while climbing a mountain. Dr. Price is doing some of the best work of his long editorial career in helping to make the W. N. C. Methodist one of the lead ing conference organs in the Sou'b. The paper has had a phe nomiual growth, and deserves all of its success. J)rilol Courier. We have not been satisfied with our editorial success; the paper is not what we think it ought to be; but we lift our hat to Col. Slack, and highly value an opinion from such a source. Colonel John S. Mosby, accord ing to the Savannah Xew's, is the manager of a branch of the Lou isianna lottery, established in Mexico, which is literally flooding the country with advertising mat ter and circulars, which the gov ernment is powerless to suppress, because it has no authority to in terfere with the mail coming from a foreign country. Issue. This confederate soldier, almost brigand, became radical republican for money, and he now sells his soul to the devil for money. John A. Cockerill, the newspaper correspondent, writes from New York under date of June 27, tell ing of a visit he recently paid Mr. Jay Gould. In the letter Cocke rill says: "Mr. Blaine said to me some months ago during the strain caused by the failure of the Bar ing Bros., that there was one man in the United States who had in his power absolutely to bankrupt and paralyze the entire republic the man being Jay Gould." Here is food for reflection. Bad legislation has created a mouetary congestion. The wealth of the country has accumulated in a few hands, making millionaires at one end of the line and tramps at the other. One man has the country completely in his grip. Harrison is the nominal, Gould the real president of the United States. We have a republic in name, but a plutocracy in fact. The papers report the death of Mrs. Key, wife or Bishop Key. Dr. E. E. Hoss accompanied the remains of his mother to Jonesboro, recently. She died in Arkansas. In her prime she was a very in telligent woman, and devotedly pious. The death of Mrs. French, mother of Rev. George D. French, of Holston Conference, is re ported. It occurred in West Vir ginia. She was a woman of ad vanced age. Rev.C.M. Campbell, of Asheville mission, is on a trip to Tennessee, visiting friends at Morristown, Charleston and Chattanooga. "Some of the most brilliant tal ent in ... this country has been crushed by circumstances. A man that ;vould be a great preacher, is crammed into a little station. A writer that would be aSyduey Smith or a McAnnally is starved into silence and obscurity." V. N. C.j Methodist, J he "intelligent com positor" had never heard of Ma caulay, but the aged McAnnally was not unknown to a printer in a Methodist press room, so Mac aulay is shortened into McAn nally. The editor, Rev. R. N. Price, a gentleman by instinct, was too polite to correct it. Rich. mond Advocate. A printer ought either to know nothing or to know everything. It is not safe to call attention to a typographical mistake, as not one in a hundred would discover it. It is a bad wind that blows good to nobody, and the scarcely de served compliment in the last line above is full compensation for the interchange of names. Rev. II. P. Baily writes July 30th: "I have found, that the Hayesville Male and Female col lege opens August 3rd. I wish you would correct what I said at the close of my article about its not opening till Sept. North Carolina .Methodism. The Methodists of Wilkesboro are taking steps to purchase a lot on Main Street for the erection of a church. Bishop Galloway will hold the W. N. C conference one week later than tile published time. This will make it begin Nov. 11th. Bro. P. H. Williamson and wife of Reidsville, passed through this city last week returning home from a visit to Pittsboro. Bro. Williamson reports steady prog ress on the new church in Reids ville. The old church having been sold and delivered, the con gregation is even now worshiping in the new church, though yet far from completion. Raleigh Advo cate of July 22. Rev. J. T. Finlayson, whose ill health caused him to surrender his charge at Shelby, is now resid ing at Durham, N. C -Raleigh Ad vocate. Rev. Mr. Tuttle and his family left Tuesday for a month's vaca tion at his home near Blowing Rock, N. C. Mt. Olive Telegram. Rev. Mr. Arnold, recently elec ted a professor in Asheville Fe male College by the Western N. C. Conference, filled Rev. Mr. Tur rentine's pulpit in the Methodist church at this place on last Sun day morning. His sermon was a very able one and was delivered to a large congregation, Herald. We don't doubt the ability of Bro. Arnold's sermon, or the fact of his election to a professorship in Asheville Female College ; but we are prepared to say that he was not elected by the W. N. C. Con ference, which, however, no doubt gave its assent to the election. Rev. A. G. Grant reports a meet ing conducted by Rev. John F. Butt and himself at Cherryville, resulting in 20 conversions and 8 accessions. Rev. R. H. Broom re ports a fifteen days, meeting at Roberdel, Richmond circuit, re sulting in 30 conversions and 14 accessions. These items we con dense from the Raleigh Advocate. Event and Comment. The North Carolina Legislature last winter freed Gaston county from the liquor manufacture and traffic. The country had been ter ribly cursed. There were forty three distilleries in it. On the 8th of June the adjoining counties of Cleveland and Lincoln voted on prohibition; the majority against the saloon was 648 in Cleveland county and 130 in Lincoln county. So we have three counties united for prohibition. The citizens are active in suppressing the illicit traffic. The law does not permit the sale in any quanity. Issue. Australia has formed a federa tion and is now composed of five states. It has retained its rela tions with the British govern ment, but is practically a free and independent government. It has a senate and a house of represen tatives elected after the manner of those in our own country. Issue. The mayor of Atlanta vetoes the beer license on the ground that they are to all intents and purpo ses "blind tigers," and their ex istence is unfair to the prohibi tion element, and the saloonmen who pay the higher license. That is the case everywhere. The beer saloon, with inconsiderable ex ceptions, will furnish any kind of liquor the customer is willing to pay for. Many do it openly ; others to those whom they know. Ex. Thus the world moves. Governor Buchanan mauaged the' mining difficulties in Tenne seo with admirable skill and firm ness. No situation could well have been more complicated. Law and politics, duty and pity, were hope lessly involved. But the governor held steadily to one position the law, while it is the law, must Le respected. Sympathizing with the views and pitying the sufferings of thf miners' families, neverthe less he held with Spartan firm ness to his duty as the executive of a great State. The only con cession he made was patient de liberation of the situation in re peated conferences with the representatives of miners. But there was no indication of vacilla tion. When the' troops, numeric ally sadly unequal to cope with the enraged miners, were sent back to Knoxville with the ejected con victs, the governor instantly re paired to the scene of troubles with ample forces to sustain ; his authority. And wheu the miners had been brought to realize the situation and accept his proposal, that they should allow the convicts to work until a special session of th5 Leg islature could convene and take action, he dismissed the military and went back with the convicts and personally superin tended their re-entrance into the mines. The miners received him kindly, and Tennessee ought to rank him high for prudence, cou rage, and executive ability. What the Legislature will do, i uncertain. What it must do to preserve peace is evident. West ern Christian Advocate. Berlin, July 31. D. Thamm. of Dusseldorff, has issued a report which has caused much pleasure among the believers in Prof. Koch's system of inoculation as a cure for tuberculosis. Dr. Thamm says that he has managed by the Koch system to bring about a complete cure" in 40 per cent, of the tubercu losis which he has treated and that satisfactory results have accrued in 45 per cent, of the other cases, which he has treated by the same system. Naturally, the followers of Prof Koch are much elated over this report, which it is supposed, will do much to strengthen the courage of waverers A man that seduces a woman single or married as much de serves hanging as a murderer. I seducer is worse than a rapis ; as he corrupts before he destroys. Mr. Pierce Blair, son of Hon Frank S. Blair, was rec3utly re turning from a dance at Max Mead ows, Va., attempt'-d to board a train in n;oti n, s:nd wtskilh d. Heh;.d betier been returning from a prayer meeting, and had hotter waited for a stopping train. But people frolic and yet they die. The parents deserve great sympathy Houston, Tex., July 31. While preaching to a large audience here last night, and whi n i:i the mid dle of his discourse, some people on the outside turned eut the lights and rotten-egged Rev. Sam Jones and his audience, most of whom were ladies. There is great indignation, and trouble may en- sue. So reads a telegram.' The man ner in which Jones has been treated in that State, shows that civilization ha much to accom plish in that country Miscellaneous. A Good Lesson Learned. Col. Ludlow, who was chief of the water department of a large city, one day received a call from a wealthy manufacturer, whose establishment had many favors to ask of the department. Before this man made his request he handed the colonel a fifty-dollar bill, which the colonel laid upon the desk before him, without say ing a word. When his visitor arose to go, however, he inquired: "Now, my dear sir, what is this for?" holding up the bill. "Oh, that's to buy cigars for the boys!" "Yes ; then I suppose you are fond of the weed?" The manufacturer acknowledged that he did like a good cigar. "Then allow me," said the chief, in his most genial manner, "to insist upon your trying one of these." He took two cigars from a box, lighted his own with the fifty dollar bill, and passed the burning paper to his amazed visitor. The man said nothing, but he never made a second attempt to bribe Colonel Ludlow. Youth's Compan ion. NOTICE. Many of our subscribers are in arrears.
