THE SAMSON RIDDLE
Tho text was token from tho 14th
chapter and 14th verso of Judge*,
and rends ns follows:
And lie said unto them, out of the
enter enme forth meat, nnd out of
tho strong cuino forth sweetness.
And they could not in three day*
expound the riddle.
Mr. Crawford said: The scriptures
nro largely figurative. Teachers
know tho ndvnntngo of figurative
teaching; of approaching the under
standing through object lesson. God
who is infinitely above all teachers,
and knows best, has clothed the gi eat
truths of revelation in figurative lan¬
guage. The soriptuies abound In
flguros. The Bavior taught by figs
urea, and said ho taught not, except
by figures. Tho language of the text
is highly figurative, nnd in that, is in
harmony with the fact, that in the
affairs of tho world the greatest good
and greatest blessings come from
mean and uncomfortable oiicumstan
and surroundings. , well
Tins lsilluttiatod in nature ns
as in tho more direct produces of
God. Take the rose for example;
from its fragrance, beauty, nnd uni—
veisal lovlincss and favoritism, it
may justly bo tailed the queen of
flowers, but he that plucks the rose
is met by tho bristling thorns. Ko it
is with the Christian, if he would en¬
joy tho sweets and comforts of re¬
ligion, ho must also at times, walk in
tho dark valley nnd bear heavy bur¬
dens.
Tho thunder storm rises in its fury,
dark, threatening nnd terrible, but
scientists tell us that the storm
is neccessary to purify tbe ntr ant
promote health. In like manner the
clouds and atoms of adversity that
overshadow the Christian, purify his
heart and take his mind away
from perishable things of the earth
and puts better and nobler thoughts
in his heart. The darkness of night
is as necessary to tho growth and
life of vegetation as tbo light of dny_
gnould there be no night tho burning
sun would wither and parch vegeta¬
tion and it would die; Sotko dark
hours in the Christians experience
are necessary to his spiritual growth.
Before Moses was called to lead
the children of Israel out of Egypt,
be was sent up into tho mountains
and subjected to pnvations and hard¬
ships. It was only a few days jour¬
ney from Egypt to Canaan, but it
was many years in being accomplish¬
ed. When Pharaoh’s consent to
the journey had been obtained, God
permitted him to harden his heart
and withdraw his consent. When
foroed to congest by the plaugues
sent upon him, God permitted him
wayward husband or boo, or the skep¬
tical youth, cause anguish now, which
may soon bs turned to joy. The
idea is illustrated by the incident of
a mother and son. Tho son was a
wayward youth and caused his moth¬
er much sorrow. Later in life they
were followed widely separated, but her pray¬
ers him to his distant he me.
He was converted and felt impelled

a few days occupy a pel iod of forty
years? God was developing the
strength of his people. The text
affords a fine illustration of the idea
I am attempting to present. Samp¬
sons people did not wish him to in,
tcminrry with thoir enemies, and
sought to prevent it, not knowing
that it was of tho Lord and that ho
sought an occasion against tho Phil
lstinns, and that the marriage would
result lu tho overthrow of theiv one

Tho Redeemer wap born in a man¬
ger in the little village of Be/hlehem.
Humble as ho was his disciples iol
lowed him until they saw him seized
by a mob, loci u p tho hill of Cal very
and crucified. How dark and calam¬
itous that hour must have appeared
to them. Yet it was necessary pre¬
lude to the resurection, and to a life
of endless felicity. From whence
coino the greatest men and greatest
blessings. John tho Baptist came
not from tho Sanhodrin, nor did ho
come in fine raiment and with a great
proclamation, lie came from tho
wilderness clothed in camels hair, his
food was locusts and wild honey,
and hesaid'rjpent ye for tho king

Davuf, tho slayer of Goliath, the
mighty giant who chalengod and
menaced the armies of Israel, was a
stripling, and the son ot Jcssoe.

wits of humble origin. Washington,
the great revolutionary leader was a
young Virginian. Jefferson, got his
moddlo for the Constitution, from
the conference of an humblo Baptist
church in Virginia. William Carey
the founder of missions, was a cobler.
I might tell ot Judson, Wosloy, Lin-'
coin, Garfield, and many great lead¬
ers of humble origin.
Now oomee tho application which
I presume you have already made.
When affliction and sorrow comes
no matter how dark the hour, how
black tbo night, how empenetrable
the gloom, romomber that God bolds
the other end ot the lmo of faith anti
hone. Ours is an humble village, we
have no citizen of great wealth or
wonderful genius, but from our midst
may nnsc a great leader, C aruesville

There are many reasons why the
scxcr should not bo separated in 1
churches Jagainst their inclinations.
A ladies escort should be seated with
her, that her comfort may be looked,
after, nnd sue waited upon if necess¬
ary. Husband, wives, and small
children should al ways be seated to*
gether, that the burden of caring
foi the childreu may be devided and
letter order preserved.
As a general rule, the seating of
men and women together, if desira¬
ble tq. them, results m more comfort
and convenience to women, less
tobacco juiccon the floor and better i
order.
The Speeches on Tuesday.
Amos N. Boole, osq., filled Lis ap"
pointment at the court house on last
Tuesday. His speecli was about
tariff and revenue, but was devoted
chiefly to a history of tliji
question away back in antesbellum
days. We did not get his position
clearly, but thought he leant a little
too much to protection and free
whiskey. Owing to ill health Mr.
Boole’s speech was much briefer than
it probably would have been.
Judge Bowers was next called
out, and spoke m favor ot protective
tariff. Wo do not agree with the
Judge as to the tho extent to which
tho protective tariff should bo carried.
Ho also advocated tho development
of our section of country, and we
heartily concur with his views on
that subject.
Dr, Underwood was next induced
to take the floor and made a few
remarks In reference to his Candida
cy for tho senate. lie expressed no
views upon tho political questions of
the day.
P. P. Proffitt esq., was called
and responded briefly, giving
views on tariff reform, with which
wo fully concur.
