In olden t imes and where Christianity had not Interfered with it suicide was con siih red honorable and a sign of courage. Do'iioslhem s poisoned himself when told t hat Alexander's embassador had demand ed the surrender of the Athenian orators. JsiH iatc killed himself rather than sur render to Philip of Macedon. Cato, rather* than submit to Julius Csesar, took his »wn life, and three times after his wounds had been dressed tore them open and per ished. Mithridates killed himself rather than submit to Pompey, the conqueror, llainiibal destroyed hislife by poison from his ring, considering life unbearable. Ly curgus a suicide, Brut us a suicide After the disaster of Moscow Napoleon always carried with him a preparation of poison, and one night his servant heard the ex onqieror arise, put. something in a glass ami drink It, ami soon after the groans aroused nil the attendants, and it was only through utmost medical skill that he was resuscitated, 'limes have changed, and yet the American conscience uc.xls to lie toned up on the subject of suicide. Have y< u seen a p iper in the last month that did not announce the passage out of life tiy one's own Is’hest? Defaulters, nlnrmed at the idea of exposure, quit lilO precipitately. Men losing large fortunes go out. of the v.orld is cause they cannot endure earthly existence. Frustrated af fection, domestic infelicity, dyspeptic im patience, anger, remorse, envy, jealousy, destitution, misanthropy, are considered MUilieient causes for absconding from this life by purls gns'H, by laudanum, by bel ladonna, by Othello’s tin,.ger, by halter, by leap from the a but i.ier.l of a bridge, by firearms.

' A pulpit not long ago expressed some doubt us to whether there was really any thing wrong about quitting this life when it. ber.imodisagri •■aide, and there are found in respectable circles people apologetic for the crime which I’at’l in t lie text arrested, jt shall show you before 1 get through that suicide is the worst, of all crimes, and 1 shall lift a warning unmistakable. But in the early part ot this sermon 1 wish to admit that some of the IChristians thut have ever lived have committed self destruction, but always in dementia ,'till} not rc;qs msibh'. 1 have no more doubt about their eternal felicity t han 1 have of tile Christian who dies in his bed in the delirium of typhoid fever. While tiro shock of the catastrophe is very great, I charge all those who have had Christian friends under cerebral aberration step off tlm boundaries of lids life to have no doubt about their happiness. The dear Lord took t hem rigid, out of their dazed and frenzied state into perfect safety. How Christ feels toward the insane you may know from the way he treated the do monL'W of Gadara and the child lunatic, and the potency with which he hushed tenqusts either of sea or brain. Merciful Allowance. Scotland, the land prolific of intellectual giants, had none grander than Hugh Mil ler, great foi t'cie’ice and great for God. He was an elder in St. John's Prcsbyte rinn church. He came of the best highland blood and was a descendant of Donald Hoy, a man eminent for piety and the rare gift of second sight. His attainments, climbing upas he did from the quarry and the wall of the stonemason, drew forth the astonished admiration of Buck land and Murchison, the scientists, and Dr. Chalmers, the theologian, and held universities speilhmiud while he told them the story of what lie had seen of Godin “The Old Bed Sandstone.” That man did inure than any other being that ever lived to show that the God of the hills is thi) God of the Bible, and bestruck his timing fork on the lin ks of Cromarty until he brought geology and theology accordant in divine worship. His two lawks, enti fil'd "Footprints of the Creator” and “The Testimony of the Rocks,” proclaim ed the banns of an everlasting marriage between genuine science ami revelation. On this latter book he toiled day anil night, through love of nature and love of God, until he could not sleep and his brain gave w ay, anil he was found dead with a revolver by his side, the cruel in strument having had two bullets—one for him and the other for the gunsmith who ! nt the coroner's inquest was examining it 5 and fell dead. Have you any doubt of the i IkatilleatJ.»n of Hugh Miller after his hot brain had *-.«usixi throbbing that winter night in his s' udy at Pormliello* Among ; the mightiest of earth, among the mighti- ; est of heaven. No one doubtixl the piety of William j Cowper, the author of those three great hymns, “O For a Closer Walk With ! God,” “What Various Hindrances We j Meet,” "There Is a Fountain Filled With j iliood”—William Cowper, who shares I with Isaac Watts and Charles Wesley the ‘ chief honors of Christian hymnology. In i hypochondria he resolved to take his own life and rode ta the river Thames, but I found a man seated on some gooils at that ■ very point from which he expected to I spring and rode back to his home, and | that night threw himself upon his own knife, but the blade broke, and then he hanged him*. If to the celling, but the rope broke. No wonder that when God merci fully delivered him from that awful de mentia he sat down and wrote taut othsr hymn just as memorable: God moves in a mysterious way His wonders to He plants his to .-.st, ps in the sea And rides upon the storm. Blind unbelief is sure to err And scan his work in vain. God is his own interpreter. And he will make it plain. Treason to the Almighty. While we maj»e this merciful and right- i eous allowamx* in regard to those who ’ were plunged into xir.-ntal inixihereib-e 1 declare that the man w ho in the use ot his j rwison, by his own a, t. .-me s ine bond be tween his body anil his s.-ul. goes straight into jxTilition. 1 prove itt Benia- . tion xxi, K, “Murderers shall have their part in the lake whi< h burin-th with tiro . and brimstone.” lievelatioJi xxii, 15, "Without are dogs and sorcerers and j whoremongers and murderers.” You do • not lielievc the New Testament? Then perlmps you believe the Ten Command mints, “Thon shult not kill.” Do you ; Bay that ult the.- px -zg-'S rekrti’ti e tak ing of the life of others!' Tima 1 ask you . u you axe avt a- re.- for own j life as for the life of others? God gave you a special trust In life and made you the custodian of your life, and he made you the custodian of no other life. He gave you as weapons with which to de fend it two arms to strike back assailants, two eyes to wauch for invasion, and a nat ural love of Hfe which ought ever to be on the alert. Assassination of others is a mHd crime compand with the assassina tion of yourself, because in the latter case it is tnwhery to an especial trust It is the surrender of a castle you were especial ly apphnted to keep. It is treason to a natural law, and it is treason to God added to ordinary murder. . To show how Gori In the Bible looked upni this crime I pjint you to the rogues’ picture gallery in some parts of the Bible, the pictures of the people who have com mitted this unnatural crime. Here is the headless trunk ol Saul on the walls of Bathshan. Here is a man who charts! little David—lo feet in stature chasing 4. Hen. l is the man whocousulted a clairvoy ant, witch of Endor. Here is a man who, wb4pp<xi in buttle, instead of surrendering his sword with dignity, us many a man has done, asks his servant to slay him, and when that servant declined, then the giant plants the hilt of his sword in the earth, the slsurp point sticking upward, and he throws his body on it and expires—the coward, the suicide! Here is Ahltophel, the Machiavelli of olden times, betraying his lx*st friend, David, in prder that he may become prime minister of Absalom, and joining that fellow in his attempt at parricide. Not getting what he wanted by change of politics he takes a short cut out of a disgraceful life into the suicide’s et< rnity. There he is, the iugrate! H> i is Abimelecb.. practically a suicide. He is with an army, bombarding a tower, when a woman in the tower takes a grind stone from its place ami drops it upon his head, ami with what life he has left in his < i.i :ked skull he commands his armor bearer, “Draw thy sword and slay me, li .-A men say a woman slew me.” There is his post mortem photograph in the book of Scmuel. But the lu roof this group is Judas Is cariot. Dr. Donne says he was a martyr, and we have in our day ajiologists for him. And what wonder, in this day when we have a liook revoaling Aaron Burr as a pattern of virtue, and this day when we uncover a statue of George Sand us the benefactress of literature, and in this day when there are betrayals of Christ on the part of some of his pretended apostles—a . betrayal so black it makes the infamy of .Judas Iscariot white! Yet this man by his own hand hung up for the execration of all ages, Judas Iscariot. Imrc«ie of Self Murder. • All the good men and women of the BI LL l if‘ to God the decision of their earthly terminus, and they could have said with Job. who had a right to commit suicide if ai...’ man ever had, wh.it with his destroy ed property and his body all aflame with insalferable carbuncles and everything gone from his homo except the chief curse of it, a pestiitaous wife ami four garrulous people pelting him with comfortless talk while he, sits on a heap of ashes scratching his scabs with a piece of biokcn pottery, yet crying out in triumph, “All the days of my appointed time will I wait till my change comes. ’ ’ Notwithstanding the Bible is against this < vil and the aversion which it creates by the loathsome and ghastly spectacle of those who have hurled themselves out of life, and notwithstanding Christianity is against it ami the arguments and the use ful lives and the illustrious deaths of its disciples, it is a fact alarmingly patent that suicide is on the increase. Wnat is the cause? 1 charge upon infidelity and agnosticism t his whole thing. If there be no hereafter, or if that hereafter be bliss ful without reference to how we live and how we die, why not move back the fold ing doors between this world and the next? And when our existence here be comes troublesome why not pass right over into eiysium? Put this down among your most solemn reflections. There has never been a case of suicide where the operator was not either demented and therefore irresponsible or an infidel. I challenge all the ages anil I challenge the universe. T here never has been a case of self destruction while in full appreciation of his immortality and of the fact that that immortality would be glorious or wretc.b.ed ticcording as he accepted Jesus Christ or rejected him. You say it is ti business trouble or you say it is electrical currents or it is this or it is that or it is the other thing. Why not go clear bock, my friend, and acknowledge that in every ease it is the abdication of reason or the teaching of ii)fidel..y, which practically says, “If you don’t like this life, get out of it, and you will land either in annihilation, whore there are no notes to pay, no persecutions to sulier, no gout to torment, or you will land where there will be everything glorious and nothing to pay for it.” Infidelity has always been apologetic for self immolation. After Tom Paine’s ‘■ Ago of Reason” was published and widely read there was a marked in crease of self slaughter. Evils of Viibelief. A man in London heard Mr. Owen de liver his infidel lecture on socialism and went homo, sat down and wrote those W ords, ‘ Jesus Christ is one of the weakest characters in history, and the Bible is the greatest possible deception,” and then shot himself. David Hume wrote these words: “It would be no crime for me to divert the Nile or the Danube from its natural lied Where, then, can Ik 1 the crime in my diverting a few drops of blood from their ordinary channel?” And, hav ing written the <s-iy, ho loaned it tan friend, the frie.id read it. wrote a letter of thanks and admiration and shot himself. Appendix to the some book. Rousseau. \ olt.iire, Gibbon, Montaigne, wore apiilogovie Ser self l.nmoiation. Ln fidelity puts up no bar to people rushing out Irani this worl.t into the next. They teach us it does not make any difference how you live here or go out of ibis world. You will land cither In an oblivious no where or a glorious somewhere. And in iliieliry holds the upper end of the rope for the suicide ami aims the pistol with which a man blows his brains out and mixes the strychnine for the last swallow. If infidel ity could carry the u.;y and persuade the majority of people in this country that it does net make any difference how you go out of this world you will land safely, the Potomac would be so full of corpses the boats would be impeded in their progress, and the cracl> of the suicide’s pistol would Ik- no more ularming than the rumble of a str-vet car. 1 have sometimes heard it discussed whether the great dram..i>i.->t was a Chris- ‘ tian or nut.

Have nothing to do with an infidelity so cruel, so demising. Come out of that load conqiuny into the company of those who beheve the Bible. Benjamin Franklin wrote, "Os thisJesusof Naiareth I have to say that Ihe system of morals he left and the religion he has given us are the | best things the world has ever seen or is i lively to see." Patrick Henry, the electric ch; pion ot liberty, says, “The bpok ; v. r.h ail other books put together is thy i Bcn.-amin Rush, the leading physiologist aud anatomist of his day, the I gr methcal scientist—what did he say? ./, true and perfect religion is 1 Chris.mnhy. Isaac Newton, the leading I p'.imsopher of his time—what did he say? “ 1 he sublimest philosophy on earth is the philosophy of the gospel. ” David Brew ster. at the pronunciation of whose mono i every scientist the world over bows his head—David Brewster saying, “Oh, this religion has been a great light to me, a very great light all my days.” President Thiers, the great French statesman, ac | knowledging that he prayed when he said, i “I invoke the Lord God. in whom lam glad to believe.” David Livingstone, able I to conquer the lion, able to conquer the panther, able to conquer the savage, yet I conquered by this religion, so when they ! find him dead they find him on his knees. Salmon P. Chase, chief justice of the supreme court of the United States, ap pointed by President Lincoln, will take the witness stand. “Chief Justice Chase, ’ please to state what you have to say about the txxik commonly called the Bible.” , The witness replies: “There came a time in my life when I doubted the divinity of the Scriptures, and I resolved as a lawyer and judge 1 would try the book as I would try anything in the courtroom, taking evi dence for and against. It was a long and serious and profound study, and, using the same principles of evidence in this reli gious matter as I always do in secular mat ters, I have come to the decision that the Bible is a siqs-rnatural book, that it has come from God, and that the only safety for the human race is to follow its teach ings. ” “Judge, that will do. Go back again to your pillow of dust on the banks of the Ohio. ” Next I put upon the wit ness stand a president of the United States—John Quincy Adams. “President Adams, what have you to say about the Bible and Christianity?” The president replies: "I have for many years made it a practice to read through the Bible once a year. My custom is to read four or five chapters every morning immediately after rising from my bed. It employs about an hour of my time and seems to me the most suitable manner of beginning the day- I n what light soever we regard the Bible, whether with reference to revelation, to history or to morality, it is an invaluable and inexhaustible mine of knowledge and I virtue. ” “Chancellor Kent, what do you think of the Bible?” Answer: “No other book ever addressed itself so authorita tively and so pathetically to the judgment and moral sense of mankind.” “Edmund Burke, what do you think of the Bible?” Answer: “I have read the Bible, morn ing, noon and night and have ever since been the happier and the better man for such reading.” Seutence of Infidelity. Young men of America, come out of the circle of infidels—mostly made up of cranks and imbeciles—into the company of intellectual giants and turn your back on an infidelity which destroys body and soul. Ah, infidelity, stand up and take thy sentence! In the presence of God, angels and men, stand up, thou monster! Thy lip blasted with blasphemy, thy cheek scarred with uncleanness, thy breath foul with the corruption of the ages! Stand Up, satyr, filthy goat, buzzard of the na tions, leper of the centuries! Stand up, thou monster, infidelity! Part man, part panther, part reptile, part dragon, stand up and take thy sentence! Thy hands red with the blood in which thou hast washed, thy feet crimson with the human gore through which thou hast waded, stand up and take thy sentence! Down with thee to the pit and sup on the sobs and groans of those thou hast destroyed and let thy music be the everlasting miserere of those whom thou hast damned! I brand the forehead of infidelity with all the crimes of self immolation for the last century on the part of those who had their reason My friends, if ever your life, through its abrasions and its molestations, should seem to be unbearable, and you are tempt ed to quit it by your own behest, do not consider yourself as worse than others. Christ himself was tempted to cast him self from the roof of the temple, but as he resisted so resist ye. Christ came to medi cine all wounds. In your trouble I pre scribe life instead of death. People who have had it worse than you will ever have it have gone songfully on their way. Re member that God keeps the chronology of your life with as much precision as he keeps the chronology of nations, yous grave as well as your cradle. Rewards of Christianity. Why was it that qt midnight, just at midnight, the destroying angel struck the blow that set the Israelites free from bond age? The 430 years were up at 12 o’clock that night The 430 years were not up at 11, and 1 o’clock would have been tardy and too late. The 4jo years were up at 13 o’clock, and the destroying angel struck the blow, and Israel was free. And God knows just the hour when it is time to leail you up from earthly bondage. By his grace, make not the worst of things, but the bust of them. If you must take the pills, do not chew them. Your ever lasting rewards will accord with your earthly perturbations, just as Caius gave to Agrippa a chain of gold as heavy as had been a chain of iron. For the asking you may have the same grace that was given the Italian martyr, Algerius, who down in the darkest of dungeons dated his letters from “the delectable orchard of the Leon ine prison.” And remember that this brief life is surrounded by a rim—a very thin but very important rim—and close up to that rim is a great eternity, and you had better keep out of it until God breaks that rim and separates this from that. To get rid of the sorrows of earth do not rush into greater sorrows. To get rid of a swarm of summer insects leap not into a jungle of Bengal tigers. There is a sorrowless world, and it is so radiant that the noonday sun is only the lowest doorstep, and the aurora that lights up our northern heavens, confounding astronomers as to what it can be, is the waving of the banners of the procession come to take the conquerors home from church militant to church triumphant, and you and I have 10,000 reasons for wanting to go there, but we will never get there either by self immolation or impen iteney. All our sins slain by Christ who came to do that thing, we want to go in at just the time divinely arranged, and from a couch divinely spread, and then the clange of the scpul. hral gates behind us will be overpowered by the clang of the opening of the solid pearl before us. O God, whatever others may choose, give me a Christian’s life, » Christian’s death, a Christian's burial, a Christian’s immor tality ! A Texas Wonder. HALL'S GREAT DISCOVERY.

The soldiers at Camp Price have de cided to told a bicycile race on July 25 for the benefit of the regiment. The races will be only between the mem bers of the regiment and the prizes will be paid in canteen checks. The first prize will be $5 and the second 53. The camp has many fast riders and it is expected that some fast records will be made. A small admission fee will be charged. Sunday was a quiet day with the men at Camp Price. All the soldiers seem to enjoy Sunday as there are no drills held on that day. The guns were issued to the company commanders Saturday afternoon and the men are all happy. The guns are the Springfield rifles, model 1875, and were packed at the Rock Island arsenal in 1882. The guns had never been opened since 1882. They are very pretty guns .and while the model Is a very old one they will do all right as they are practically new. The officers and non-commissioned of ficers will not have their hardest battles to fight—learning the men the manual of arms. It is a very easy matter for men to learn the marching drill, but for a new recruit who has seen nothing of the life of a soldier and who has only been In camp for two weeks, It is very hard for him u> learn the use of a gun. The different movements in the new manual* of arms are very complicated and no doubt they w?ll be a puzzle to some of the officers. The belts and bayonets will bo Issued today and then the regiment will be com pletely fitted out. When the men, who are now in camp learn completely the manual of arms and the marching drill and when a little of the green which now bedecka some of the gallant officers wears off the regiment will be one of the best volunteer regiments In the country. Some changes were made in the regi ment by the colonel Saturday. The first battalion, composed of companies D. H. B, and C, was placed in command of Lieuten ant Colonel Reaves. The second battalion, composed of companies A, L, M, and F, was placed in command of Major Gardner. The third battalion composed of companies G. E, K, and I, were placed in command of Major Wylly. These changes put the regiment on bet ter footing than ever as the men who were at one time at loss to know to which bat talion they belonged now know. The officers’ dining hall and club room has been completed and the officers will begin taking their meals In camp today. The club room is in the upper story of the main building. It is a real pretty place and a person must be a very good friend of an officer or he don’t go up. Captain Colquitt was ordered before the examining board again last week and pass ed the examination successfully, to the de light of his company and his many friends in camp and in the city. Captain Maddox, of company (M, has re turned from Atlanta and is now In charge Company M. is one ’of the best companies in camp and it also has its full quota of men. Company A, Captain Marion Harris, is also one of the best companies In camp. About thirty men were confined in the guard house yesterday for the violation of camp rules. The officers are beginning to be more strict on the men and the men are finding it out, consequently the discip line is better. The officers say that as soon as the men learn the manual of arms that the regi ment will give a dress parade every after noon and that this formation will be more Interesting to the people than the company drills. A great many of the soldiers attended the 'Mulberry street church last night in charge of their officers, where a sermon was preached by Rev. Mr. Smith an old Confederate soldier. Discovered by a Woman. Another great discovery has been made and that, too, by a lady in this country. “Disease fastened its clutches upon her and for seven years he withstood its se verest tests, 'but her vital organs were undermined and her death seemed immi nent. For three months she coughed in cessantly and could not sleep. She finally discovered away to recovery by purchas ing of us a bottle of Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, and was so much relieved on taking the first dose that she slept all night and with two bottles has been absolutely cured. Her name is Mrs. Luther Lutz.” Thus writes Mr. W. C. Hammick & Co., of Shelby, N. C. Trial bottles free at H. J. Lamar & Sons’ drug store. Regular size 50c and >1- Every hottie guaranteed.

Soldiers at Chickamauga Anxious to Meet the Spaniards. “The only grumbling to be heard at Chickamauga,” said a Macon soldier at home on a furlough this morning, “is that the men want to be iu the game. They are all anxious to get to work and finish up the job and. then return home. The men do not like the delays that have been necessitated by failure of contractors to supply and equip the troops “I am of the opinion that we will all get In the game yet. Everyone of us is anx ious to get to the front. We have a number of “regular’ officers with us at Chick amauga. and every day they read that some of their friends have met death or been wounded in front of Santiago.
