TIIEIR TRIP.
In company with Dr L L. Bish
op, I loft the beauiifol Center of
Creation late Saturday morning.
We scaled the heights of the Co
hutlas at Field’s Cap and later we
were listening to the doting
hymn of the evening meeting at
Casey’s Springs.
The District Conference of the
M. E. Church convened at this
point on Thnraday 25th, and ter
minated in a campmeeting, with
eleven tenia occupied by whole
souled members of Ibe church
who spared no pains in taking
care of all who went. Soon we
found ourselves in the hands ol
R*v. B. M. Hipp and the pastor,
D. W. Cook, who stowed us away
in very comfortable quarters in
the “preachers’ tent.” As the
preachers farad so did we. Who
would have the hardihood to
grumble at this I
Among tbs preachers who had
remained over from the District
conference exerciser, we recog
nized Revs. Hugh Boyd, B. M.
Hipp, P- P. Carroll, T.‘ G. Chase,
L. D. Ellington, D. W. Cook, B.
W. Huckabea, F. L. Cochran, J.
H. Hearty, - Allen, Dr. Cook,
of Cleveland, Tenn.
The early morning fog was
slowly dispelled and left Casey’s
Spring Camp under a genial sum
mer snn. It is Sunday, and the
people began to ponr in from
every quarter and by 8:30 o’clock
a good congregation bad assem
bled under the arfcor to listen to
a sermon by Rev. L, D. Ellington
of Ellijay. Hymn, “Glory to His
Name.”
“Without the presence of the
Roly Spirit in the world, we can
do nothing,” was the subject and
and tha text, “Now if any man
have not the spirit of Christ, be is
none of His.” Rom. VIII, 9.
He impressed the point that
not every man who wills to get
lo Heaven does so; not everyone
that tries, but he that tries in the
right way—in the way the spirit
of Christ directs; cau’t get there
our own way. There must be a
co-operation between the spirit
ar.d the man’s exertion.
Notwithstanding the difficulty
of preaching at this hour the con
gregation was very attentive to
the sound, able and effective
preaching.
The eleven o’clock sermon was
preached by Rev. Dr. Cook, from
theSJchipter of Genesis. This
was one of the most able dis
courses that it has been our priv
ilege to hear for a long while.
The division of his subject, as he
<lid, necessitated a lengthy dis
course, but through the hour and
forty minutes the large congrega
tion gave absolute attention. Dr.
Cook displayed unusual oratorical
ability and a thorough acquaint
ance with his subject.
He said :
The writings of Moses are look
ed upon as the doorway to the
more magnificent temple, and in
our eagerness and haste to view
the great inner temple we omit
them. But if we stop to think we
will find them to be the kev that
unlocks the ponderous doors to
the great and magnificent temple.
The story of this temple is told in
five parts: First there is the
chaoter of Trees, second of temp
tation, third the fall, fourth the
sentence, fifth the expulsion.
The trees are the Tree of Life,
and the Tree of Death. The first
signifies the immortality for spir
itual nature.
The difference between man
and the beasts of the forests does
not lie in the number or kind of
eyes, or in hearing, or sight, or
locomotion, or feeling or smelling.
Thediffetence u not that man
reasons, for the animal does this,
and the same as man in kind but
not in degree. The difierence lies
in man’s capacity for God. In ad
dition to the soul, the life part,
man has the spirit which is the
rapaoily to lake in God. Having
the capacity he is like unto God,
and it it in the possessing this ca
pacity that lies the debtb of life.
Immortality is not to length of
life, but in death.*
The tree is also n symbol of
bodily immortality in man’s first
nature. God made not man In
die but to live so long as be thus
lived. Not that man was destined
to Slav on this planet lortver, but
was not to suffer death. I’erbaps
like Enoch end Ktjeh leken sway
without death. The physical be
changed lo spiritual, Ike aortal
become immortal.
Tha Trea of Death sign ifled
death te man’s trua life. In par
taking of this tree man trans
greatad God’s law and became
subject lo physical death. The
tree of knowledge became to him
ihe tree of death.
In a most vivid manner he por
trayed Eve in conversation with
the tempter and on- through the
fall, as the tragedy got deeper the
picture got brighter till could be
seen the bewildered woman
gloating over the fruit that “was
good for food, pleasant to the eye
and desired tv make one wise.”
Then coold be heard the demoni
ac laugh of the D_*vil as she eai
the fruit. “Ah, the irony of Satan
the mockery of the Drvil 1 How
he must have laughed when he
saw them eating the frui'. Thai
langh echoed around the hills of
Eden, rolled down the waters ol
Euphralss,around the Jordan and
out owr the world. The beasis
heard it and become enraged for
the first time. That laugh has
been beard ever since. Every
where Igo I hear it. It is a Satan
ic laugh. When in some happy
home mislorlune or disgrace
overtakes a son or daughter,
doated upon by aged mother or
father, who, in thrir grief sit down
and weep, the Devil cornea and
laughs.”
In the picture we see fallen
man driven out. Just think of
Adam taking Eve by the hand
and going ont forever from Eden.
Out into a cursed world, expelled
by Qod from the very place He
had put them to live. Behind
them was placed the cherubim lo
keen the way of the Tree ol Life.
The afternoon services were con
ducted by Rev. B. W. Huckabee.
The district conference will be
held at Fuller’s Chapel in Murray
county next year.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Invitations to visit different
cities and towns have so accumu
lated upon the hands of Presi
dent Cleveland that it
become necessary lo emplisjHfl
ditional clerical force on this
count alone. Had the tempestu
ous Tuttle been able to forsee
these results of his blanlant utter
iugs, he surely would have de
sisted, and such popular tributes
would perhaps never have been
paid the Chief Magistrate of the
Nation. Bui, in Ihe wise dispen
sation of Providence, even little
insignificant creatures like Tuttle
often mysteriously rise up and do
good without knowing how or
why. Tiien, I say, all hail Tuttle
His grateful country, especially
the Western and Southern sec
tions, should arise and call him
blessed for his instrumentality in
arousing the President io the
imprtance of making the first ex
tensive tour of his Administra
tion.
As I reflect on the projected
visit of Mr. Cleveland, I trust you
will pardon me lor taking a res
tropective view of the travels of
our earlier Presidents. Mr. Mou
roe, was the first of them to car
ry out the idea of a trip of this
kiud—traveling in his coach
through New England and as
far westward as Ohio, and being
everywhere cordially received ;
aud for his time it was quite a
tedious undertaking. President
Jackson traveled bv carriage all
the way from Tennessee to the
Capital, aud later in the same
conveyance, made a tour of New
Eugland, which to the surprise of
his political oponents, who sup
posed it was an clement of weak
ness, was a continuous, ovation,
adding greatly to his popularity.
The building ot railroads seems
to have had the singular effect of
dampening the traveling ardor of
the Presidents, so, that most of
the Executives, down to the days
of Johnson aud Grant, were con
firmed stay-at-homes, but, the
two latter, as is well kuown,
made the most of their opportu
nities and facilities of travel.
These are dull days, political
ly, officially, and socially, at the
Capitai; the President, seeking
relief from the oppressive tem
perature of the dog-days, with
draws himself to the solitary
shadows ol Oak View, while his
wife has just returned. With the
exoeptioo of Secretaries Bayard
and Fairchild, all of the Oabinet
are on vacation—likewise the
Justices of the Supreme Court
and others equally prominent in
social and political life.
Death, though, is not idle ; it
has felled e gient of the world ol

Spencer F. Baird, of the world 1

there is some excess over the
amount estimated to be out,
which is accounted for by impor

This week the Treasury paid out
