The Norcross Advance. WEDNEDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1873. JAS. P. SIMMONS,/ JAS. U. VINCENT. j Ltlltorß, ANONYMOUS SCRIBBLERS. Wc should all make our mark, for morality and integrity, so high that the foul I reatn of slander cannot reac i it. And for our selves, we take the occasion to ay, that we will pay no attention to anonymous com munications, through other papers, intended to injure us in our business or reputation, except in extraordinary cases, should such arise. Nor will we admit su hto the pre judice of others to our columns. We do not propose to pander to a vitiated taste by feeding our patrons and their families, on libelous reading; and we must form our own op'nions, to some extent, of the rela tions our contemporaries wish to maintain toward us from the way th y treat us in this respect. 8. THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE. In the Eagle of last week we find the following: “The Norcross Advance, from the platform announced in its last issue, will hereafter be a religious pap: r. They propose to ‘square up’ with their political subscribers.” In this our neighbor docs us injustice, but unintentionally as we hope. If the Eagle’s keen eye will gl in co at our new prospectus he will sec that we propose to give our read rs eac’i week the most important news, l oth foreign and ddmtstic, “and such literary, scientific, educational, political, agricultural a d religious read ing matter as we may from time to time think most interesting and profitable. In politics the Advance "ill be independent, b it will not be partisan, nor do injustice to any party or individual knowingly.” The only material changes made in the character of our paper is that we have adopted the position of indetend- nce in politics (the most safe one for editors, and by far the most reliable and profitable one for all our readers, except office hunters), and we have determined to give the great cause of religion a more prominent place in o:r columns, and, in fact, to nr ke that the 1 jading feature of the Advance. We did, in the abundance of liberality, say to oui readers (and now repeat), that if any of them so desire, they can “square up,” by paying up to the time they may do so, and we will not complain; but natural justice requires that they pay for the paper while it is sent to them, and without notice that they do not want it, when they discontinue their favors. M. 8. IN GAINBVILLE EAGLE A JAIN. The Norcross Advance, in its last num ber, uses unnecessary criticism and gross error in answer to a correction regarding the chemical constituents of the ruby, the emerald and beryl, and makes a falsi* state ment as to the amount of alumina in the beryl. M. 8 docs not recognize the Ad vance's text books, as they savor more of Webster’s spelling l>ook, or dictionary, than legitimate scientific authority. 'I he editor’s opinions on the Trinity and the Soul are quite as absurd aed untenable as his opinions on geology. M. 8. has, during a long life, devoted nearly all bis time to the development of the laws of God for the benefit of suffering l umanity ; and certainly now, does not aspire to the high • position of an editor of a village newspaper, or professo of language, p r ticularly the Billingsgate, used by the Rev. critic ; who ought however 'o be excused as his profession through life, at the bar, h s transfixed Pecksniffian ideas on his I rain, more legibly than “ Wai in Heaven 1 ” M. S. —Gaimsville Eagle, Oct. 24. The Advance’s text Itooks are the rccog- I ° I nized standards of Europe and America, and not a geology said to be plagiarized by one Dr. (?) M. Stephenson, of Gainesville. The junior editor of this paper replied to M. S.’s article in the Eagle, and professes to know something of the laws of God as developed, not by Dr. M. Stephenson, but by men of acknowledged scientific ability— I by men of original nd accurate scientific research. M. S.’s flings at our senior are as con-; lemptilile as uncalled for. He had best bo ' quiet if he cannot meet our criticism. We congratulate him upon bls lai k of aspira- ' tlou to the position of editor or professor, : for such positions cannot be filled by one ! whose only forte is found in personalism or plagiarism. A MATTER OF GRAVE IMPORTANCE The writer hiul a long interview recently I with General Wade Hampton on the sub- : ject of forming auxiliary historical socio- ■ tics in the South in order to preserve the ; history of the South during our late war for constitutional freedom. We beg leave ' to bting the matter befo e the peopbofl Gent gia, and to urge upon the officers and soldiers who lam* each a g llant share in j the struggle to organize a society in this State as early M practicable. Let such a society be formed in Atlanta. ‘I he Herald : will cheerfully aid such a movement We commend the above article, from the ’ Atlanta Herald, to the careful consideration of our r aders. “The history of the South ' during our late war for Constitutional freedom,” is being lost in tl»e death of our gallant men who were active participants j in the great struggle, as well as in the ’ death of our no' le women *ho were eye 1 witness-a of ita many shifting scent's. Tlie Sage of Liberty Hall has faithfu ly | portrayed t‘e causa causans of the war. Now let th;* surviving gallant soldiers and officers uniU* with their characteristic zeal I in organixi*'g a Histori al Society, whose : labors w ill preserve from oblivion the many patriotic deeds of our noNe army, and also the sufferings and sacrifi es of our heroic • peojdv. There is nothing Ln which the | patriot fvcl*. more interest than in th» his tory of l«ia country's struggles for liberty, j and It b h gh time the South sliould a*ake ; from her slum ers over this matter. While she calmly slccpa, tier enemies are iatuing vUttntc ujhui volume of histories. which misivprr*'iit he r eveiy motive ami action, ami a bi< h a ill teach our chiklrva to enn twi the iuoM pall HAic motives and moot bcnaic deeds of their anct stora. We hojw the people of Georgia will act e puu Ute' Het ahi's awyAwn. ami push it to a sjwerty consummation. THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM ITS IMMEDIATE GOOD HAS NOT BEEN REALIZED. The advocates of the Common School System of Georgia held first, that it would give an impetus to the educational enterprises of the State. But what is the result ? Immediately after the war our people, rich and poor, became en thusiastic upon the subject of education. Old men had seen their property snatched from them, and their children left un educated. Young men during the war had learned the paramount importance of an education, and having returned home resolved to educate themselves. It was al most the universal sentiment of our people that our only means of again becoming prosperous and independent, as a nation, wa< to be found in universal education; and acting upon this sentiment, nearly every community set about devising plans and accumulating means for the establishment of , independent schools. The convic tion was deep that our greatest curse was ignorance. There was never a time in the history of the South when her people were so thoroughly aroused in the interest of education as they were imme diately subsequent the surrender. So great was their enthusiasm,that new school houses and academy buildings gave the first signs oi reviving national life. Neighbor hoods, villages, towns and cities, not yet arisen from the ashes oi their desolation, threw their ener gies and funds into the establish ment of schools,and called to their supervisorship their noblest and most learned men and women, who, by their zeal and efficiency, lent an impetus to education that was fast transforming their men tal darkness and thraldom into a glorious intellectual light and liberty. While their material en terprises were ground to powder by the wheels of war, their liber ty-loving spirits cramped by tyrannical oppression, and their pride stung by the afflictions ol poverty and humiliation, yet they possessed the omnipotent power of self-reliance which dreams of no limits to its achievements. This self-reliant, spirit inaugurated and was nobly sustaining a system of independent schools that would soon have diffused knowledge throughout the South. This self reliant spirit was calling forth in dividual and community activities which in turn were developing in individual and community indus tries, that would soon have made the South the most thriving, inde pendent and enlightened people upon the globe. But this self-reliance must be transformed into mutual depend ence. Political demagogues and maudlin philanthropists, impa tient of the glory consequent to the independent activities of our people, but ignorant of adaptation of means and ends, clamored for legislative action in behalf of education. This legislative action was obtained in Georgia, and em bodies in what is called “The Common School Law of Georgia,” and to the immediate effects ac cruing to the people of Georgia from this law we now invite atten tion. Legislative measures are seldom understood at the outset by the masses, and especially was this the case with the Common School Law. At the time of its enactment our people were re- . solved to do their utmost in behalf of education,and were not expect ing any extraneous aid whatever; but with its enactment came be- . wiklerment and universal lethar- ! gy. In some instances whole com- j munities misunderstood the law. and thought the State would cdu [ cate all children tree of expense. In other instances it was under stood that the State had taken the whole matter in hand, and would ■ impose taxes tor the purposes of not only defraying tuition expen ses, but also ior building school houses and academies wherever needed. In still other instances it was thought the 6late would build houses, furnish books, em ploy teachers, and pay all tui'ion fees. So evident was inefficiency upon the face of the law that men cog- : nizant of the circumstances exist ing in almost e.ery rural district could not advocate even a trial ol it, and so complicated was the law that the less informed knew not its import. Those who were wil- i ling to educate their own chil dren were rendered unable to doj it: because those, w ho relied upon the state to educate theirs, would not co operate with them. This was the ease with many neighbor hoods. The citizens knew not what to do ami consequently did nothing. With their inactivity came their profound indifference to educational enterprises from which they will not soon wake. Instead, therefore.of the common school law giving a new impetus to education »l enterprises.it real ly retailed such enterprises and bred lethargy instead of enthu- ‘ sifi'in. REPLY TO RAMBLER’S LAST. Our very disrespectful corres pondent has been indulged in his personal vituperation and abuse of the senior editor of the Advance for several months. He had a purpose to serve and so had I. The difference has been that I knew his motives all the time, but he never suspected mine. His object, from the beginning, has now become apparent to every one who reads our paper: and it is believed that when this reply to his last is read it will be admitted that I have fully suc ceeded in accomplishing my de signs, at least so far as his ability extends. His ostensible object was to prove by the Scriptures that my theory of the oiigin of the human soul was untrue. That I well knew could not be done, for I had carefully exam ined every book, chapter, verse, word and letter of the Bible, long before the book he attacks was written, on that subject, and wanted to prove, Ijj his failure, that there is nothing in that Old Book, at least that he could find, which proves the contrary. In that I will have fully succeeded when ! this is read, for he informed us in his last that be is done. If any other Richmond, who agrees with him in that respect, (and who knows and will respect the courtesies of debate which are uniformly observed between gentlemen,) wishes to discuss that question, our columns are open to him. Fair, manly and friendly agrument, of any important ques tion, can do no harm, and is the best known means of finding the truth. There is a special reason why I should not do so now, but when the cause of delay shall have passed, it is intended to give our readers a review of all Ram bler's articles, for the purpose of showing his real object in making the effort he has, and wherein the difficulty originated. Till then the patience of our readers is in voked. Now for Rambler’s knock down argument. I had previously ask ed him, if he believed an infant had a soul before its birth, to state to our readers, at what time of its previous existence the soul be comes sufficiently matured to live on without the body. He admits his inability to answer it except by another, and puls this question, as his reply : “At what time does an acorn become an oak f’ An acorn becomes an oak, just at the same stage of its existence that-, the soul enters the body of ah infant--with the first breath of life. The leaves are the lungs of vegetable life and necessary to its growth, when therefore, the acorn vegetates-sprouts up,and the first tender leaves are unfolded to the air and light it begins to breath “the breath of life,” and right then, it becomes an oak. It is a very little and young oak it s true, but still it is a young tree, and must be so considered, just as an infant when it first breathes is a human being, alt ho' a very young man. He gave us a pretty figure by which to illustrate my idea. Unfortunately for his side of the argument, he next quoted Jude <>. “The angels which kept not their first estate,but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under dark ness unto the judgment of the great day,” and asks: “What is plainer than that these angels— every’ one of them—are irre vocably lost ?” I reply that it is much “plainer,” that there was some good reason why I hey* were not sent at once, to j their final place and condition of • punishment, or that would have been done. The fact that they are reserved until the great day. when we are to be judged, fur j nishes a cogent argument that their nature and crimes are in some way’ like our own ; as we are all to be judged at the same time, and the unredeemed, are all to be i sent to the same hell, and for the same term ; see Mat. 25: 41. And no good reason can be assigned why they were to be reserved to the lime of our judgment unless they have some interest in that judgment, some chance of being benefitted by a stay of executions under the verdict rendered against them in heaven, and pursuant to ■ which they are confined here.— Some of them may have repen- I ted. It is said that God has no mercy in store tor them, but the Bible no where,says any thing of that sort, but much to the con trary. When cast out of heaven they could not have been worse than \ some men are, or they would not have been allowed to remain there as hmg they did. Yet wc ate told that God pities, and deals mercifully with all of us. And we are taught in Rev. 12, that at least some who were cast out of heaven with Satan, “overcame him by the blood of the Lamb,” etc. Who, reader, is promised victory over Satan “by the blood of the Lamb,” but our race ? We are next referred to Gen. 2: 7. “God breathed into his (Adam’s) nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul.” We must read the racred Scrip tures reverently at least, and with a desire to understand correctly, the true meaning of what we read, if we are to be benefited by’ them. The meaning of this passage can not be misunderstood by any who so reads. Everybody knows that Adam was not all soul, as is the most literal meaning. No well informed friend of the Christian religion would attempt to assign this text such intent. The man, as then formed, became a compound being, having both soul and body; the body was formed of the “dust of the ground,” the soul, the life, the Spirit was “breathed into his nostrils,” and the body then be came the tenement of a “living soul.” No other rational construc tion can be put on that text. What that living soul was we are not there told. But we must suppose it was something that existed be fore, because there is no account given of its having been created during the six days work of which Genesis informs us. This is offered as a full and com plete answer to all the balderdash of Rambler on Jiat Scripture. He next refers to G?n. 1: 31, in which God pronounced the whole work of creation L 'very goody So it was, but we have no account of a devil having been made that week, or as such, at any’ other time. Then follows more of his favorite class of words, but no reason or authority. We are next cited to Gen. 1: 37, where it is said “God created man in his own image,” and he then proceeds to put the following questions: I’What 1 ’What was it in man that had God’s image? Was it his body? Has the eternal Spiritual Existence a shape like that of man ? Was it man’s soul that had the image of God? If that soul was a devil, then does it not follow that the devil which made the major part j <>f Adam was God’s own image?” Then comes his triumph in this: “Here are questions which it be comes the privilege of our editor to answer, if !te. can." 1 Heavy 1 are I ihey not ? But there is no dodg , ing now. and the thing must be ' attempted at all hazards. The soul of man, when made, was pure and holy, a”d in Ihe ; spiritual image, of God who made it; Ihe body of Adam was made I by Jesus Christ, and in the image of his own person, as he often ap peared to the patriarchs and prophets, and in the image of that lleshl.v body which was crucified. It was not the soul of Adam that “made the major part” of this image, as he appeared to his wife and children; that was his body. He then goes to the temptation and fall, and asks : “If Adam and Eve were devils themselves, can any one see what need there was of a tempter to seduce them?” There was no need then of a tempter to seduce them and to make them sinners, if they had , been tempted and yield to sin in t heaven and been cast out for their i sins. But it seems that they’ had need of a Savior, and that God saw lit, ia his mercy’ to give them i and us a chance to rc pent of our sins and to seek, that we might find pardon in this life. To that , end it was necessary that they’,! and we, should have some knowl edge of Satan, as the deceiver, i and of Christ as our Savior. That we have in the Mosaic account of the temptation and fall; and; which was the chosen, figurative I representation and a complete ! one. of our real temptation and fall in heaven. lie next points us to the ac- j counts of men who were possessed of devils, etc., as found in Mat. 4: 24: and Mark 5: 9: and asks:! “How are we to understand this, ■ if men are devils T' etc. We are i to understand it just the same, whether our spirits are created in j our bodies or existed before. He I admits that men have souls, and I there is no more difficulty in com prehending how those evil spirits entered and took charge of bod-! ies previously occupied by’ spirits, j such as themselves, than if by > such as were newly created. Ibe case, that far, is the same either way. It is sufficient for us to knew that such things <fid occur, in the days of our S rior, and that those devils knew him that he had power over ihem—that they feantl him, besought him ami obeyed bi- j vr lers. We have in these Scriptures proof that Christ had something tn do rth ; these evil spirits, and that they are here with us, whether we belong to the same or a different class of sinners. He then says: “If man’s spiritual na ture l>e a fallen angel, then in the body of our Lord Jesus Christ there dwelt together a fallen angel and the divine nature!” Nothing is more utopian. Where he found the idea that Christ had two sou s is a mystery ; certain it is, that he did not find it in the Bible. We are there taught that the soul—Spirit of Christ existed from eternity—is known as Michael, I’he archangel—Son of God—The word, etc., and that his body* was like ours. But, as I had occasion recently, to pre pare and deliver a lecture on the divinity and humanity of Jesus Christ, which is more full than we could find room for here, and which we hope to give our read ers next week, I will jnot argue that mat ter over again now. S. [communicated. ] READING THE B.BLE. WHAT AN INTELLIGENT OLD GENTLE- MAN THINKS. You have assumed the right, name, go ahead. As you are dis cussing some of the deepest ques tions of moral ethics, I propose to tell your readers of some of my learning by reading the Penta teuch. I have read it several times, but never noticed, until recently, that the fifth book was a rehearsal of the three preceding ones—as a sermon exhortation and pro phetic description of the future course of the Jews. From the writer's acquaintance with the actions and conversation of his fellow-creatures,he is in clined to believe there are but few who make the great book of God their study, as they should do; lor although the ceremonial law is obsolete and not only not required to be observed, but would be sinful lor a Christian to observe; there are moral laws as binding as ever they were, and on which we should meditate in day and night; and theie is in obedience to the command which the Lord gave to Joshua, (Joshua, i. 7,8,) a kind of savory influence in perusing the book of the law which we have now in the moral law, as well as the more spiritual gospel com mands of our dear Jesus, which will make the faithful Christian’s face shine, if not with that, halo o brightness which surrounded the face ol Moses, yet it will be seen and felt as he travels along the straight path in duty. His dailv converse and study of the holy word is as necessary to his soul prosperity as his daily food is to the support of his decaying body. Go,. Reader.*. INDEPENDENT PAPERS VS. ORGANS. The Pacific Rural Press candid ! ly and truthfully defines the posi- I tion of independent papers versus organs, in the following logical ' manner: j “Every great movement, while j it must be fully in line with the public needs, must also h ive some regard to public opinion in respect to such needs; but it the common sentiment is not what it should be, efforts should be made to edu cate or mold it In this matter very much depends upon an intel ligent and independent press.— I’he experience of associations, political as well as otherwise, goes to show that a more healthy growth in any desired direction is encouraged by independent rather than subsidized or official organs. The conductors of official organs almost invariably become—if they do not start out as such—ad venturers, who seek to use for their advantage movements that have been inaugurated or built up by others for the public good alone and not for any individual interest. The public has learned to put but little faith in the true devotion of any organ which acts officially as, or assumes to be, the organ of any movement. If an organization is manifestly for the public good, the people will find it out, and it will not lack for countenance or support from an honest, and independent press.” i THE GENILEN ESS OF POWER. i There is no gentleness in the ' world like that which is manifes- 1 ted by power. To see a strong, j giant-built man meet in the way • a little child, and raise it up, anti i say to it, “bless you,mv darling;” I to see his great, coarse hands, and his arms that are like bears’ paws, ! go down, and accompanying the ■ act with some sweet words, lift the child to his bos< ni—that is a most beautiful sight. There never ; was a breast-pin in a man’s bosom ; to be compared with a sweet lit- ! tie child. To see a slender, pale faced woman and mother take up a child is beautiful; we expect! that; but to see a great, brawny man take up a child, with tender- ; i.ess and gentleness, is beautiful • indeed. Everybody marvels at j that. “A little child shall lead I them.” Nothing is so sweet as the soft- ’ ness and gentleness of power. A ! man that has a gigantic intellect;! a man that can control battalions , and armies in the field : a man ■ that has coin age and will; a man that has a lordly pride.and knows his strength, and moves among I men with power—such a man,! who is subdued by the influence | of the dear spirit of God. and who , has such sweetuess and gentle ness that he treats all men with ! lenity and kmdness, and forbear ance and patience, has what is here meant bv gentleness. * I 7/.
