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. R T. P. — ...■ 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 •oieuce in the person ol Professor Spencer F.
