Manager, Asheville, N. C. Men die aa they live; if you want to die right, live right. Some men are like mountains; distance lends enchantment. He that sees God sees himself ; for the light discovers God's glory and excellence, also shows our meanness and vileness. The holy coat of Treves is a sub lime humbug. The seamless coat of Jesus has long since passed s piousiraud. -. - We ?jueF55 receipt of a pri vate note from Rev. T. F. Glenn, a Holston preacher of ability, in which he says : "I like the W. N. C. Methodist ; it is right on the great questions of the age." "s: - Rev. B. A. York, writing from Forest City, N. C, Aug. 26, says : I have closed .two meetings with good result a. There were twenty conversions and fifteen accessions. -The church membership was great ly revived, and much good was ac complished for the cause of Christ. Says Dr. Burr in Whedon's Commentary on Job : "One diam eter measured all the other diame ters of the same circle; so the possession of one infinite attrib ute implies that all the other attributes of that Being must be infinite." Local option is only one form of prohibition. As yet we see no cause to berate it. A half loaf is better, than no loaf. If we can't drive the liquor traffic out of the State, let us allow as many com munities to put it away from them as are willing to do it. The four mile law in Tennessee has worked well. We don't like high license, or any kind of license, as it recog nizes the lawfulness of the saloon, makes it respectable, and gives the State an iniquitous partner ship in the proceeds of crime and debauchery. We hope - the news that has reached us is true, that Mr. Wash ington Duke has donated to the endowment "fund of Trinity Col lege a round .half million of dol lars. If this is the fact, it places the college on a broad and safe financial foundation; it brings it to the front among American col leges and universities. Thin dona tion is a bonanza to North Caro lina Methodism. It. will be an upheaving force that will place the cause of Methodist Chribtian ity in the State on a higher plane. Surely God". has been good to our Church in the State. All honor to the Christian millionaire, who opens his heart and his purse for God and humanity! There arebut two sides to the prohibition question. All posi tive men are on one side or the other. Some professed friends of prohibition are spending all their strength in lighting prohibition ists. They have turned their guns on their allies. They have left off caring for the asses of the liquor traffic and gone to searching for the lost Saul somewhere among the prophets of tetotalism. Drunk enness, debauchery and crime in general have measurably been die missed from their thoughts, and they aie bothering themselves about fanaticism, union of Church and State, and false methods of prohibitionists! According to the late census, there are in this country about b5, 000,000 people. There are 151, 281 churches, 103,203 ministers, and 21,757,071 communicants. That is, one-third of the people are church members. If that one ihird would do its duty, how long would it be before that other two thirds would be brought into church fellowship? Xew Orleans Advocate. This is a tremendous proportion ot church members. The figures cannot be true, if they mean adults in the actual fellowship of the churches. But some churches count all the baptized infants of Christian families. . Many of the ohurches do not baptize infants, and many of those that do, do not count them among the members. We read the above figures with a degree of incredulity. Politicians Cowards. Ex-Senator Ingalls, of Kansas, has been making speeches in Wis consin. Among other things he says : "I am to speak to you upon the problems of our second century and I want to say at the outset that all public and political lead ers are cowards. Unless I may seem to be invidious in that ob servation or to be partial in my statement I desire to say that when I was in public station I was myself included in that sama category. We are afraid to say what we really think about the great; problems before the Amer ican people to-day. Another problem I do not dare say much about in Wisconsin is prohibition, and I came from a prohibition state and am a prac tical prohibitionist, from the fact that I never take a drink unless I want it. It is one of the great problems of the second century how to deal with the liquor ques tion, and yet for fear of offending the radical prohibitionists, for fear 6f offending the brewing interest, for fear of offending the distillers of whisky, there is not a man in public life to-day that dares to tell the honest truth about prohibition not one. I admit it is one of the most stu pendous questions that ever engagecLAe attention ofhehjj miuij. Tmreiryou remem ber that in this century, year by year, more money is spent ior intoxicating liquors than is spent for bread and public education, and that there is nothing that can be said in favor of a saloon, it is indeed one of the greatest problems of our second century." The Lesson. The sad tidings of the disaster near Statesville sent a thrill of horror throughout the country. Perhaps so fatal a railroad acci dent never occurred in the State of North Carolina. If occasioned by the malice of tramps, as re ported, it teaches us a lesson. This class is tolerated to an extent annoying to the people and dan gerous to the country. Rigorous vagrant laws should be enacted, and scrupulously enforced. Men beating their way on trains should be arrested at once and handed over to the authorities. The cas ualty teaches another lesson : Men and women should be always ready to meet God. Suppose there were un forgiven sinners on that train, who were waiting for a convenient season to turn to God ! Suppose there were persons on that train dreaming of the benefits of a death-bed repentance ! Did the convenient season come? Where was the death-bed? In a moment, in the twinkling of an" eye, the soul was dashed out of the body into an awful eternity, without time to Bay, "God be merciful to me a sinner!" the sinner is ush ered into the presence of God. Were there any aboard that had their lamps tri mined and burning? When the Son of man came to them in the article of death, were they at their post, doing their duty? Then a crash, a shock, un consciousness, death, and a home in heaven. Short was their tun nel passage to the skies. "Be ye also ready." In our advertising columns will be found an advertisement of Ed itor Jafferty, who proposes shortly to begin to teach in his paper a system of stenography. Dr. La. ferty is master of the art as fine a stenographic reporter as we know of. Some years since he reported a sermon of Bishop Doggetts, preached in Asheville, word for word; The Bishop himself was surprised and astonished at the accuracy of the report. Law and tlie Substance of Law. It is better that a community protect itself from certain crimes by the prompt punishment of the criminal in everv instance by the forma of law if it can be done ; by the 8ubsitance ot law tne win oi the people if escape through de fect of the law is probable. Hols ton Methodist. The talk about the substance of law is all bosh. What substance of law is there in the rash, hasty, murderous deeds of an infuriated mob of men generally bad men and not uufrequently under the influence of whiskey? W. N. C. Methodist. The W. N. C. Methodist pro nounces the idea that "the will of the people is the substance of law" "bosh." Holston Meth odist. It doesn't take apbilosopher to detect the fallacy of this last state ment. We pronounced nothing on the merits of the assertion that "the will of the people is the substance of law." We said, the talk about the substance of law is all bosh." There is a difference between a talk about something and the thing itself. There might be a talk about a truth, and yet the talk might be bosh. Truth is sometimes talked about very fool ishly. In the ordinary mob of the day we find neither the law nor the substance of law ; but lawless ness, confusion and every evil work. But while we offered no opinion about the assertion that "the will of the people is the substance of law," we can do so. We doubt the truth of the assertion. The will of God, or right, is the sub stance of every just law ; the of the devil or wrong is the stance of every iniquitous will sub law, Sometimes the voice of the people is th6 voice of God, and only in such cases does the will of the peo ple underlie good laws. Where the voice of the people is not the voice of God, the will of the peo ple may be the substance of bad laws, or the substance of acts vio lative of good laws. lhere is a difference between the will of a whole people or nation as ex pressed in the laws, and the will of a community or portion of a community, whethei harmonizing with the laws, or as in the cate of a mob, subversive of the laws, that is to say, subversive of the will of the whole people. What we have been arguing about is not the will of a whole people, as expressed in a national code, but the will of a small fac tion, assuming the right to set a6ido the will of the whole people, and .o nullify laws Jhat ar ex pressive of the joint wisdom of the whole people. The will of the people of Bristol, or of a part of the people of Bristol, is not the substance of law, but when neg lectful or violative of law, the sub stance of anarchy and rebellion. Mob violence may be called a whim, a fancy, an excitement, a storm of fury, a riot, anarchy, lawlessness ; but it cannot justly be called a law. There is no an tagonism between law and the substance of law. The mob does not simply violate the letter of law, it violates the substance; it violates the spirit and design of law, and the will of the whole peo ple as deliberately embodied in law. The Methodist Pastorate. No one system of church polity has all the advantages. The Pres byterial, Congregational and Epis copal form of government have each, their advantages and disad vantages. The Methodist Churches suffer in the large towns from an unsettled pastorate. The more wealthy and intelligent of the peo ple incline to churches where the pastorate has in it something of permanency. They have their fam ily physicians, family lawyers, and they want their family preachers. They are not willing to be always getting acquainted with their pas tors that is to say, living under pastors that are perpetually, on trial with them. A good man who stays in the same place for t n or twenty v'iirs, will acquire an in fluence tluii no other man can at tain. The set ed astorate usu ally builds up largo congregations in the cities. But it has its seri ous disadvantages ; when a con gregation gets a man they don't want to keep, they have trouble to get rid of him. TI has to be prized out; L.. displacement nearly alwa) s creates disc rJ in the church. The Methodist system works well in the country not so well in the city. But it can be made to work well in the city. A change every four years is too often for the good of the city charges; but if the city pastorate were ren dered as permanent as the law al lows, there would be less to com plain of. But is this the case? Nay. Our system has worked an uncontrolable restlessness. Con gregations seek change for its own sake. . Change has become a habit. When a preacher takes charge of a congregation, he knows there will be a party in his church demand ing his removal at the end of the year. They will bow seeds of dis cord labor to diminish his con gregations and circumscribe his usefulness, in order to have an ar gument for a change. He Joes not, cannot feel at home. He feels that he is only a bigeof passage a carpet-bagger. He" cannot be come thoroughly identified with his people ; he can feel very little encouragement in laying far-reaching plans of usefulness, which he is not likely to have time and op portunity to carry out. We are not writing in favor of removing the pastoral limit ; this would be putting too much power into the hands of the bishops. The removal of the pastoral limit, would necessitate a radical modi fication of the Episcopal preroga tive. We are not writing in favor of an extension of. the pastoral term, tho' this might be for the better; but we are writing in favor reaping all the possible advanta ges of the present quadrennial term. If the whoIe""""-'"Y has bi shops for ltfe; wlTy-raR. -each charge have a pastor for four years; cases excepted only for special reasons? Ui course conditions will arise rendering trequent changes nec essary, but where pastor and charge are well adapted to each other, let it be understood that the relation is for four years, unless a change becomes necessary for important c msiderat ions outside of this adap tation. Suppose a man is stationed in a town ; that he has talent, learning, piety, prudence ; he preaches well, and attends to his pastoral work well ; why tear that man up before he gets acquainted with his people? He has his defects, but also his excellences. You might get younger man, discreet ; you man of mc. piety ; you active man, would you thi but one less might get alent, but less t vst a more ss solid. What of a wife that is all the time looking around lor a better husband? Can she make a good wife? What do you think of a church that is constantly de bating the question how to get better pastor? Can the pastor of such a church do them any good? The principles we have been dis cussing apply o single as well as married preachers. But there are difficulties in the way of the fre quent removal of married preach ers that do not exist in the case of single men. Town cougrega tions want a Rpntlejrian for pgBtoj-. They expect his familyto move in the first circles. They do not allow him to dress like a tramp: they do not allow his family to dress and live like peasants. But he must have means to keep up the requisite style. This means, he is not likely to have, if he is r quired to move every year, or every two years. Besides the labor and vexation of packing up and . mov ing frequently, the loss and ex pense is large, t requent moves put preachers in debt, which in many cases lies as a night-mare upon their usefulness. There is no sense in sacrificing the work men to carry on the work. The preachers, as well as the churches, should be taken care of. A preacher in debt is a preacher measurably lost to the cause. If the time of the preacher is taken up in scuffling with the wolf at the door, he will have less time to fight the lion in the streets. The Methodist church was once an invading army ; it is now an army of occupation. It is time we should recognize this fact. The tactics that takes a country, and the tactics that hold it, are differ eut. The Duty of the Church on the Liquor Question. We are obliged to the senior ed itor of the Holston Methodist for giv ing a considerable portion of one of our prohibition editorials a promi nent place in his leader of .Vug. 26. It is fair that his readers should know what he is replying to. He, however, says : "It is submitted, in the kindest feeling, that the assumption that the advocacy of a prohibition party is the only way to advocate or promote prohibition, is begging the question. And when from this position he, hurls ana themas on all who will not, with out question, take a stand at his side, our astonishment is in creased." Such a statement as "this will, no doubt, astonish all who are regular readers of the W. N. C. Methodist; for we are sure, they have not heard the "anathemas" whizzing through the air. We strongly advocate temperance, and favor prohibition by the state ; but if we are broad and conserva tive on any subject we are on that. We argue, and criticise, but we hurl no anathemas. We have no recollection of assuming at any time," publicly or privately, "that the advocacy of a prohibition par ty is the only wtiy to advocate or promote prohibition." We (Ihn editor) advocated prohibition thir ty years before, we .'seriously thought .of a prohibition parly in polities. WV want to se war made on tin; saloon by -all right and reasonable method.". We are for temperance and sobriety, and for downing the saloon, and are for the method or methods that will reach these ends the most speedily and 'effectually, provided they are lawful and honorable. We (the--editor) belong in no political party ; we team with none ; we are never consulted about the question of platforms and candidates by the members of any party. We are free to vote for the men and the measures that commend themselves to our judg ment and conscience. We have never asked Dr. Richardson to join the third party. We would advise him to join no party, but to hold himself ready to support any party or no party, when by so doing, he can promote the glory of God and itSiSgLtfecountry. For ouH prt, weWe nof-af raid of the rulei of voting as we pray; and this we propose to do, if the policy causes us to agree with one of the old parties, or to stay outside of all parties. We would not have the Church, as such, to commit itself formally to any political organization, as such. We would not have church organs to become the organs of any political party, to assist that party in a scramble for power and office. But this is just what a re ligious paper does, that antago nizes the third party. A religious paper that berates the third party is a partisan of the democratic or republican party, or some other party other than the third. In republican States republicans fight the third party for fear it will draw votes from the republican party. In democratic States dem ocrats fight it on similar grounds. Let them do it; but let .these par ties fight their own battles; and let not religious pppers be legging for these old wrestlers against the sober young athlete that has just entered the .ring. We don't ask the Holston Methodist to become a mouth-piece for the third party, but at least to "lie low and keep dark." Members of the Church are in dividual citizens, and are at liber, ty to identify themselves with any or no political party, to vote for any measures and men whatever, so they do all things to the glory oTXidd. PolltlcaTparties do not exist jure divino ; they are purely human institutions; and none of them have a first mortgage on the suffrages of Church members. A Church paper should not make war on the democratic party for its free-trade tendencies ; or upon the republican party for its cen tralizing tendencies ; least of all, should it make war upon a party, because it happens to insert in its platform of principles the unpop ular plank of prohibition. But a Church paper may be al lowed to rejoice, that the evolu tion of morality has reached such a stage in the country, that poli ticians are beginning to dare to organize around the principle of a prohibitory law, and to go before the people on that measure. Most of all, may it be allowed to rejoice that just as the planet Neptune was discovered by its disturbing iufluence upon the planet Uranus, so the progress of moral ideas may be detected by the disturbing in fluence upon party politics of the question of temperance, in its crystalized form of prohibition. The Church is not a political party ; it should not enter into a close partnership with any politi cal party ; but it is a teacher of morals and a denouncer of bin in all its forms, whether committed by individuals or by governments. It is her prerogative to teach pri vate citizens and rulers the prin ciples of truth, honor, and right eousness to reason of righteous ness, temperance and judgment to come. Mie lias uone rignt so iar to indoctrinate the masses with teiiiperauce principles, and to say to the State, that the open saloon is an iniquity, aud that its liceL- sure is a crime oi tne orate as a whole, supported by the votes of individual citizens. She has a right to call upon legislatures and courts to suppress the traffic in alcohol and souls ; and to demand of political parties a little show of principle as well as a great show of policy. She has a right to em body her views on this question in published resolutions, and to advise her members to bring their votes to bear in focal power on the machinery of government for the compassing of end-3 so vitally con nected with life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. The bulls have tossed the bears high in the air in the wheat marke t in Chicago. Event and Comment. The rain-makers have succeeded in causing rain at Midland, Texas, by explosion of powder. C'apt. Slack of the Bristol Cou rier came out in a flaming edito rial against the Alliance and Gov. Buchanan. European demand for American wheat has not only bulled up the wheat, but has caused the jold that recently took a trip to Europe to take the back track. Money matters are getting easier in m rica The following is the ocula alli ance platform in brief: The ab olition of National banks ; the sub-treasury system or loaning money to the people at two per cent, on non-perishable products ; the increase of the circulating medium to be not less than $50 per capita; prohibition of dealing in futures; free silver coinage ; prohibition of alien ownership ; a demand that national legisla tion shall not build up one indus try at the expense of another, the rem3rl Gf high tariff from the uecegSaries of life; ar graduated fax on incomes; taxes only for the necessary expenses of gov ernment ; governmental control of means of communication and transportation ; the election of U. S. Senators by the people. The Virginia Alliance favors the sub-treasury scheme. Gladstone is recovering health. The thermometer fell from 90 degrees in the shade to 35 at Bur lington, Iowa, August 24. The cold wave passed all over the land nearing frost in Tennessee. The frost did great damage to tobacco and cranberries at MilwPukee. Three hundred and forty per sons perished in the recent storm at Martinique without counting shipwreck fatalities. August 22, a five story brick building fell at Park Place, New York, doing much damage and killing many people. Overahun dred persons were known to have perished, and the ruins were, at last accounts, being searched for the dead. . Currituck county, N. C, has a curiosity in a boy eight years old, that weighs zU4 pounds. lie is a son of Sarah and Lewis Clark; the boy's name is Lewis. Hamlen county, Tenn., has vo ted $25,000 to a road from Mor ristown, to Embreeville, Iron works, a road heading either for North Carolina, or for Danville, Va. The Morristown & Cumber land Gap railroad will be com pleted before winter ; it is really heading for Nashville, Tenn. The night express train from Macon, Ga., August 21, was held up at Collins Station by three masked men, and the express s?afe robbed. The highwaymen were heavily armed, and secured sev eral packages, making probably $30,000. There is no clue to the robbers, but the orhcers are in persuit. A disastrous and terrible acci dent occurred on the afternoon of August 22, in the collapsing of three massive buildings in Park Place, New York City, caused by a steam explosion. Eleven bod ies have been recovered, and it is thought that sixty or more are buried in the debris. Over one hundred people were employed in the buildings. The cyclonic hurricane at Mar tinique, French West Indian pos session, August 18, proves to have been disastrous in its effects, the island being devastated and much shipping destroyed. Two hundred and eighteen people are found to have been killed in the coast towns alone, the towns in the in terior not having been heard from as yet. The American Agriculturist esti mates that unless unexpected in fluences change the current of events the value of corn on the ear will average in December fully 50 cents a bushel, wheat, $1 per bushel and oats at least 40 cents. On this basis the value of the corn crop to the farmers will be $1,000,000,000; wheat, $500,000, 000 and oats $250,000,000, or a to tal of $1,750,000,000. This is $450,000,000 more than the value of these crops in 1890; and $G25, 000,000 more than the value on the average of the crops from 1880 to 1890. The Western N. C. Methodist seems to think the editor of the Advocate is coveting a martyr's crown, afraid that he will mix poli tics with religion, and wants to know if there isn't "danger of hurting the party." If "the . mar tyr's crown" comes we will wear it, but we are not coveting it only by standing and striking for the right. No, we are not "afraid of mixing politics with religion." They wont mix well that way. Ve want the mixing the other way that is, get all the religion possi bio into politics. The latter is muddy stream that needs the puri fying presence and influence of "pure and undefiled religion " Any j parly that throws its protecting and fostering care around the whiskey traffic deserves being hurt hurt badly. Yea, more, it de serves death and must die or re form. If the Methodist does not add "amen" to this with emphasis, we will be disappointed. States ville Advocate. Amen and amen! NOTES AND PERSONALS. Rev. R. A. Young. D. D., reached Nashville on the morning of the 20th in st., after an absence in Europe of over eight months. We have not yet had the pleasure of seeing him, but we learn that he is in good health and has had a mosf pleasant time. Nashville Ad vocate, Aug. 29. The W. N. C. Methodist is the most able, courageous and care fully edited reljgious newspaper that we have had the pleasure of reading of late. Rev. Dr. Rich ard N. Price, the editor, is a man, every inch of him. Ducktown Re porter. "Bishhop Fitzgerald 'the elect lady,' and their daughter, Miss Lillian, are now settled down at 1037$ Market street. The Episco pal family are taking a home-like part in affairs. The rebuilding of Centenary is absorbing the Bishop's mind just now." Pacific Methodist Advocate. "Dr. Stradley, writing from Los Angeles, says: 'Bishop Haygood is preaching every evening at We6t End. Three things out here will always make the bishop a tireless worker. A rare atmosphere, no end of work, and a constitutional antipathy to inactivity.' " Pacific Methodist Adooeate. Rev. W. M. Leftwich, of the Tennessee Conference, has been greatly benefitted by his stay at Cobb's Island. He was suffering with nervous exhaustion, and had to be exempted from pulpit labor. Now he writes that he can preach twice a day, and is on the way home, going by Lynchburg, which is near his native place, and where there are friends and relations. He has been a useful and valuable roan in the West, and we trust is yet to be spared many years for good work out there. Rev. J. I. Crooker writes from Pomona, N. C, August 25. 1891 : I closed my campmeeting at the old historic Camp Ground, Muir's Chapel, on Monday after 4th Sun day. There were fifty conversions The church was thoroughly re vived. Old feuds of years stand ing were healed. The church is now dwelling in brothely love and affection. The meeting was pro nounced to be the best held there in 9 years. To God be all the glory. Rev. W. J. Dawson, of Glasgow, well known in this country through his literary worts, tne most im portant of which are "The Makers of Modem English" and "The Threshold of Manhood." is ex pecting to spend the months of October and November in the United States. Mr. Dawson is also one of the most popular lec turers in the British Isles. "He has all the late Dr. Punchen's ability, with a wider grasp of lit erature, uniteu witn a taste more severe, and a genius more strik ing." No doubt arrangements will be made for his lectures in various parts of the country. NOTICE. Many oi our subscribers are in arrears.
