displeasure, when Historians are try
ing to give Queen Victoria and the An
gto-Bagon nation a little of the Jewish
blood which Du Mautier tells u* makes
I for genius? Again we might say: If
the dlapension of the Jew over the
face of the earth I* looked upon as a
punishment from Gpd, how shall we
look upon Christianity with It* dlvt*-
! ion into nigh 1M sects. We are not a
! nation. When Jerusalem fell under the
I battering ram* of Titus, the Jew be
came a cittsen of the world. Whin Me-
I kUtley asked for volunteer*, among
i them were 4.000 who were born in the
faith of Israel. Yet they volunteered
I not as Jewswd.ut ar American citizen*.
We are not a nation. Yet as Individ
uals we number more than some sects
of Christianity dispensed over the earth
Yet I would riot use the bad logic, or
rather want of logic, aa to say that the
numtier of confessors in a creed showed
exclusively whether or not it was be
loved of God.
The fact is. if we believe in a God.
we ought to know Jat He cares m"
for numbers. To IBm belongrth the
whole earth "The heaven is My throne
and the earth I* footstool." There
fore "not by might I tor by power, but
my spirit.” It Is ■•ylmr alone an In
dividual and a naton can lie tested.

L a that of any of the famowtArgosln 1

have known that neither the Argo "f

ing rich material for Solomon s temple,
nor the high turreted galleon San Mar

oared barge of Cleopatra, nor even the !
brave little Santa Marta of the great,
discoverer, would have a surer place In j
the world's memory than the Pilgrim *
, Mayflower. But If this comforting gilt
w an withheld, or If sometimes It suffer- I
cd eclipse when the wintry storm* if,
the Atlantic buffeted their little crafr, j
there must hove been occasions when
the resolute hearts of It* company :
doubted whether it had not been belter ,
that she had never weighed anchor au l
never spread a sail. And even when j
the voyage was ended and the lit I" j
vessel rod* at anchor on a rock-bound j
and snow-wrapped coast, how desolate I
she must have looked In the oiling. And ,
when those who hmi gone down to the j
sea in thi* utile *btp realized on that.
repellant shore that she was the only !
link between them and the fair world
they had left behind them not more
did the see gull* hover about the
lonely craft than did the anx-,
ious fears of Its exiled voy- !
'agers- And then did the name of;
it’ “The Mayflower!’* There was that j
in this name! with Its reminder of the ;
sw-et English meadnws In the loveliest j
of all the months, to break the exile a
heart on that lone, forbidding shore.
Not strange, then, that the artist
makes me a dreary and depressing Ut
ile picture of tho "Mayflower."
But Why Do I Linger
so long over that little ship? For real
ly though It is Inseparably associated
with the memorie* of the day we cele
brate. it is not the Mayflower of my
theme. Thet Mayflower of the Pil
grims sailed the ocean In a high lati
tude of the north temperate zone. The
other Mayflower of my thoughts buret
into bloom In distant tropical seas.
That Mayflower of our early history
withered and perished two centuries
and more ego. The Mayflower with
which my thoughts are busy at this
moment is still in gorgeous and ex
pending efflorescence. The wintry i
ccaan which bore upon its oosom thy -
earlier flower and the seas at the equa- .
! !or which witnessed the bud and bloom
; i t the Mayflower of today are not more
j different, are ooi more separated in
I kind than the two flowers themselves.

Of all strange (lowcts this was the

; lowly violet that scarce lift* Its head
from the graves of loved ones In our

j in a warm climate have not a few times

I greeted at early morn with a flood of
bloom and fragrance, the transforma

In every recurring year noted at even
tide the- oncomings of the springtime
In the budding branch, and have looked
out at dawn on the leafy tree. How
many a summer morning have our
scnseß been delighted by a something
which lived not In the evening air. It
was, peradventure. the magnolia grand

witchery of the intervening night ha J
wrought Its wonderful wogk.
Not only has opulent nature these
sweet greetings of the morning; she
has-also her delicious flora! surprises

What statesman and writer had broad-
I casted In the minds and hearts of the

minds of a whole nation, whose domain
stretches from ocean to ocean and from
Arctic lands to tropical «eas.
TkJt us not be behind the Romans in
our recognition of
Forces Other Than Man’s,
shaping the destinies of nations. When
the army of Parthia and the army of
Gaul the legions on the Danube and
the legions on the Tiber, as sometimes
happened, without Intercommunica
tion. became actuated and moved at the
same time by the same impulse, these
old heathen had the one ready and the
one only explanation, the "Numen! It
was the Divinity, which, unlimited in
Its operation by time and space, had,
unseen, unheard, and unfelt, laid -ts
work In the minds and heart* of widely
separated communities. This Invisible,
Inaudible, imperceptible power is still
at work. ! If I may liken great things
s.o small, the unseen to the visible, the
spiritual to the material, I would say
that Reworks as does some skilled el.v -
UicUu: invisible threads are skilfn.iy
established, connected with the source
of light and ramifying Into all parts
of a great city. The work of preparation
may be slow: It may go on unobserved. ,
hut once ready it requires hut the ;
strength of. a single tinner to produce •
In « moment an outburst hf light In all ■
that city’s borders

which, In the light of mere human wis

rian aspect so Quixotic, ln the Chris

husinews outlook so barren, in the fiscal
view so oppressive, in every view so
wild and fantastical —In the presence
of such an apparition some of us can
preserve our calmness only by dwelling
on siit h thoughts as I have endeavored
to present. We are only saved from
,-agc. as well as .despair, by recalling
the remarkable circumstances of tie
advent of this new aspiration, and by
tifeUig able to note the absence there
from of man’s machinations, and thus
to calm ourselves, even lit this dreadful
prospect of imperialism, while we say
with humility, and not without hope,
“Dens regnat!”

THAT CI.OSE ELECTION.
Mr W. H Stalling* Wa* Mr Blod
gett's nanager.
The story of the close election be
tween Hon. R. H. May and Hon. Fos
ter Blodgett. In which Mr. Blodgeft
won by a majority of one vote, to
gether with the close vote In the Fifth
ward, where Mr. R. K. Elliott won
by u majority of three votes, have
caused a great den! of Interest In close
elections.
Mr. W. H. Stallings, the present/
postmaster, reporters are told, war
Mr. Blodgett's manager In this faraoup
election It la related that when Mr.
Blodgett approached the polls Mr.
Stallings was with hint. Mr. Blod
gett picked up a May ticket and said:
1 um going to compliment Mr. May
with my vote." , .. „
"Oh, no; you are not. Mr. Blodgett,
said Mr. Stallings. “If yon are not
worth your own vote, you Hre not
worth the votes of your supporters.
"But I just want to compliment Mr,
May . ”
-I tell you." said Mr. Stallings, for
he had figured it. out and knew how
dose It was. "if you vote (or Mr. May
I will, too.”
Mr. Blodgetl dropped in a Blodgett
ticket.
it seems that during the day Mr.
Stallings saw a gentleman brought to
the ,mils by the May men in an in
valid chair and given a chance to oast
his ballot. It occurred to Mr. Stall
ings that there waß a Blodgett man In
tied out on Telfair street, who was too
ill to get to the polls, but that he
ought to vote. A party of Blodgett
men went to the sick man's home,
placed him on a stretcher and carried
him to the polls, carrying him back to
his bed after he had voted for Blodgett.
If Mr. Blodgett had voted for Mr.
May Mr. May would have had a major
ity of t. If the 111 man had not been
carried to the polls the election would
have been a tie.
