TOO MUCH SINGING.
Editor ok The Eagle :
This letter, I suppose, ends my
correspondence on the subject of
“all-day Sunday singing” meetings.
The conference at Antioch, next
Monday morning, may take the sub
ject under their consideration. 1
thank you sincerely for the space
you have allowed me in the columns
of your valuable paper and the cour
tesy you have shown me throughout
this correspondence. During this
time I have received the congratula
tion of many friends, and have been
encouraged not a little by members of
all denominations who, with myself,
desire the sanctity of the Sabbath
preserved in the community at large.
I refer Brother Dickinson to the
minutes of the General Conference
1895-’97 on the observance of the
Sabbath. They are too lengthy for
insertion here. Brother Scoggins
may not be under its rulings. I an*
glad to read this brother’s letters.
He speaks conscientiously, I was
going to say unsophist’cally, but
Brother Dickinson may accuse me
again of speaking in an unknown
tongue. Brother Scoggins believes
that because Pound and Moore, two
good Methodists, and Vaughn, the
“sweet singer,” attend “all-day Sun
day singings,” therefore “all-day Sun
day singings” are proper. That does
not follow. Because Pound, Moore,
and Vaughn attend “all-day Sunday
singings,” therefore they are Sabbath
breakers, is a conclusion warranted
by Scripture and reason. Pound,
Moore, and Vaughn are singers, and
not commentators. Adam Clark,
Matthew Henry, and Scott are com
mentators and not singers. The
first three teach singing ; the last
three the meaning of the Word of
God. I refer Brother Scoggins to
Scott’s comment on “Remember the
Sabbath day, to keep it holy,” found
in Matthew Henry, and therefore en
dorsed by the Presbyterian as well
as the Episcopal churches of our
country.
But first, let me reply to Brother
Dickinson. He asks, “Which is the
most damaging to the church, sing
ings or bar-rooms?” lam glad my
brother confesses that “all-day Sun
day singings” are damaging to the
church ; but he asks which of the
two is the greater evil." foam .Tones'
said that his boys may steal or mur
der, but he would see to it that they
indulge not in cigarette smoking.
“All-day Sunday singing” is the
greater evil, for reasons advanced in
my former letters, not to mention
the amount of tobacco used and
vomited on such occasions. The
bar-room, where established, is a nec
essary evil, but it will do “damage”
to none but the fool that enters it.
Our State pays its millions to make
men wise, our church pays its mil
lions to make men good. When the
State and the church accomplish
their work, bar-rooms will be things
of the past. But “all-day Sunday
singers” pay nothing, and save noth
ing. “They have not saved a soul
from death in 20 years,” said a
preacher of the gospel in my hearing
on yesterday. They are not a bless
ing, but a curse—a hindrance to
church discipline and church govern
ment—gatherings for the gratifica
tion of self—self-indulgent, pleasure
seeking Sabbath breakers—“lovers
of pleasure more than lovers of God.”
The people know’ them and judge
them right. Their gatherings are
not for worship—not religious gath
erings—therefore they are not lawful,
according to State law’, on the Sab
bath day.
“One day in seven seems to have
been fixed upon by Infinite Wisdom
as the most proper in every age of
the world, though the change of the
dispensation after the resurrection
of Christ has occasioned an altera
tion of the day and an addition to
the topics which call for peculiar
co 11 erne) nor at ion and contemplation
on this season of sacred rest. The
concerns of our souls must indeed be
attended to, and God worshiped ev
ery day, but on the other days of the
week we should do all our work, re
serving none for the Sabbath except
works of charity, piety, and. neces
sity, for these alone consist with the
holiness of that sacred day of rest,
and are allowable. All works there
fore which arise from avarice, dis
trust, luxury, vanity, and self indul
gence are entirely prohibited * * *
trifling visits, journeys, dissipation,
or conversation tchich serves only for
amusement cannot consist with ‘keep
ing a day holy to the Lord.’ * * *
Serious self-examination, perusal of
the Scriptures; private, social and
public worship, instruction of chil
dren and servants, meditation, and
pious should occupy our
time from morning till evening.
Were our ioveto God and spiritual
things as intense as it ought to be
we should deem a day thus spent a
great delight, for heaven will be an
eternal rest, not essentially differing
from it. All our aversion for such
strictness arises from the carnal
mind, which is enmity against God.”
The italics are mine. Comment is
unnecessary.

ALL-DAY SUNDAY SINGINGS.
Editor of The Eagle :
1 appear before you as a Baptist
preacher, and I suppose the one re
ferred to in every one of Mr. Clem
ons’s articles; 1 am the one that
preached at South Bend at the time
specified by him. I wish to say here
that our friend Clemons misrepre
sents the facts, not only in singing,
but about the meeting. He says that
South Bend rejected or discarded
her regular conference preacher, or
some such words, but where is the
proof? The fact is that Brother
Hartman, the conference preacher,
filled his regular appointment and
the revival started in the prayer
meeting after he had gone home. 1
was living near the meeting house,
was at the prayer meeting, ami the
brethren asked me to take hold and
aid or conduct the protracted meet
ing. I did so, and we had a glorious
meeting and there were many con
versions. It was said if the meeting
continued Brother Hartman would
return by Wednesday, but he failed
to reach us. We preached good,
wholesome doctrine, the pure Word
of God, and the brethren and sisters
enjoyed it very much.
Now, Brother Clemons intimates
that they have enough of that
way of doing and preaching. I know
not, but they have never said so to
me. And that they are worse off
now than they were then is not true.
I have harmed no one. I have cor
rupted no one. I have acted honor
ably, and am living in peace with all
men, inasmuch as in me is. I respect
the rights and privileges of all men
to worship God according to the dic
tates of their own conscience. I
have been living in that community,
and a more neighborly people I nev
er saw’; they are friendly, sociable,
kind, honest, and show their faith by
their works. They knew that I was
a Baptist preacher, and I knew they
were Methodist brethren and sisters.
And I knew that they had souls to
be saved or lost.
Now’, what about a man trying to
put more and more prejudice into
people against the truth ? Now, all
intelligent people knowthat singing
is a part of the worship of God. It
may be one song or more, one day
or more. Now, is it wrong to wor
ship .God all day in song ? It very
evidently is not. It is lawful and
right, but it may not be prudent
some times and at some places.
Brother Clemons said he would
prove that the all-day Sunday singers
were Sabbath breakers ; but did he
do so ? Let the people answer. There
was a very large congregation at
South Bend last Sunday, and they
had one among the best singings that
has ever been in this country. And
.they expert to
berry No. 1 in December, Ist Sun
day. Now, according to Brother
Clemons’s argument there were
many Sabbath breakers. He seems
to put Baptists on the line with
such ; but they can bear all such as
that, knowing from whence it comes.
There were certain ones living in the
days of Christ that accused Him of
being a Sabbath breaker. So if they
did this in the green tree what will
they do in the dry? I agree with
Brethren Dickinson and Scoggins.
Where is the proof, by Scripture,
reason and example, that the all-day
singings are wrong? Brother Clem
ons fails to produce it. But he
says in the ministry of Christ is no
mention of singing except the pas
chal hymn on one occasion. Now,
is this true? Matt. 26:30—“And
when they had sung an hymn,” etc.
Also Mark 14:20. “Now is my friend
like the elder son ? Now, this elder
son w’as in the field, and as he came
and drew nigh to the house he
heard music and dancing.”—Luke
15:25. (It is stated here at least
twice.) Also historians say that
Christ sang when going into sor-ow
and death. In the Acts of the
Apostles he says the word “sang,” or
“singing,” is not found. We will
refer him to Acts 16:25—“At mid
night Paul and Silas prayed and
sang praises unto God.” Now, these
are his Scripture, or misrepresenta
tions. He has failed to do what he
said he would do. Also he has
shown that he is not very familiar
with the Scriptures. And as to the
men he quotes, they are only men as
we are and must obey the Scriptures
to be loyal to God.
Now, I will refer the brethren to a
few passages on this subject • “Is any
merry, let him sing psalms,”—James
5:13. “And they sing the song of
Moses, the servant of God.”—Rev.
15:3. “I will sing with the spirit
and I will sing with understanding
also.”—l Cor. 14:15; Rom. 15:9;
Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16.
I hope you will only refer to the
Scriptures and you will find “sing,”
“sung,” “sang,” “song,” “music,” in
so many places, you’ll think, as I do,
that time would fail me to mention
it all. And that w’e may, and will
if we are like David, not only sing a
few songs or a few days, but forever
in the house of the Lord.

The Bones of Columbus.
The Duke of Veragua, a decend
and of Christopher Coiumbus, de
clares by the horns of bis prize bull
that he will remove the remains of
his ancestor from Havana to Spain.
This revives what is claimed to be a
well-authenticated story to the effect
that only about half of the bones of
Columbus are in the Havana cathe
dral. It is said that when Spain
was forced to get out of San Domingo
and the order was given to remove
the body of Columbus to Havana, a
priest of the cathedral at San Do
mingo opened the tomb, removed
about half of the bones and secreted
them in the chancel nf that edifice,
where they remain to this day.

NUMBER 39.
FAITHFUL SERVANT OF THE STATE.
With this term of the Superior
court in our county Hon. Howard
Thompson closes his official career as
solicitor-general of the Northeastern
circuit, as far as Habersham county
is concerned, unless business should
demand that a call session be held
before January 1, 1899.
We have but little patience with
that class of commendation and
praise that awaits the death of a faith
ful man, to accord to him his just
dues and praise for faithful service.
We are assured that we not only
voice our own opinion, but express
the true and just sentiments of the
citizens of our entire county when
we say of him as he retires from
office, “Well done, thou good and
faithful servant.”
For twelve years he has repre
sented the state as her attorney for
our county, as solicitor-general of
the Northeastern circuit in a manner
not only highly creditable to himself,
but in a manner that measures up to
the full standard of the responsibil
ities of his office. His administration
has been marked for its high and
peifeet conception of his responsi
bilities, and his fearless and cour
ageous execution of the same.
His prosecutions have been con
ducted, not with the temper and feel
ing of a tyrant, but with the man
hood and the charity of a faithful
public servant.
There can but come to us as we
part, perhaps forever, from a public
officer of true and faithful service, a
feeling of sadness, but we can assure
him he has the thanks of a just peo
ple for his loyalty, and cheer him by
the fact that there awaits him the re
ward of higher honors from a grate
ful people.—Clarksville Advertiser.
AMERICAN ENTERPRISE IN CHINA.
While England and Russia are
squabbling over railroad concessions
in China an American company, at
the head of which is Calvin S. Brice,
has secured the most valuable con
cession of that kind which the
Chinese government has yet granted.
The American grant is for 3 road
800 miles in length through the
richest and most populous part of
the empire.
The route of the road is from:
Hankow to Canton, and the province,'
through which it runs contains a
population of 200,000,000 people.
By means of a road which is being,
built by Belgian capital it will con-j
nect with the great Siberian Railroad
of Russia. It is said that if there
had been a hitch in respect to China’s
endorsing bonds of railroads the
Chinese government would have
granted railroad concessions to
Americans only, because it has no
fear that Americans will grab terri
tory which they develop.
This building of a railroad in
China by Americans is a pretty good
indication that the day of great rail
road building in this country, for the
present at least, is over. There is
not now need for any more great
trunk lines. There will of course,
continue to be railroad building, but
the roads built will be short ones to
connect sections of country as they
are developed with the trunk lines.
The railroad building, in the near
future, that will be done with
American capital, will probably be
in Cuba, Porto Rico and China.
OUR COTTON MILLS.
It, should be gratifying to our peo
ple to know that wonderful progress
has been made in the cotton man
ufacturing industry of the South
during the last fiscal year. A
majority of the cotton mills are run
ning night and day, and all of them
are paying well and did so even
when the business depression was
considered to be at its most acute
stage. Judging from the present
situation there is every reason to be
lieve that the supremacy of the South
in the manufacture of cotton goods
will be recognized and admitted by
Northern' competitors within the
next Hi? or six years, if not sooner.
The progress of the cotton man
ufacturing industry in this section of
the country has been steady as well
as rapid, and the prospects for the
future are so bright as to encourage
the investment of capital, for the
reason that'.**' number of spindles
in the South have increased in the
past year from 1,613,435 to 4,057,244
or 150 per cent, whereas the increase
of the number of spindles outside of
the South was only 18 per cent from
1890 to 1898. There is no belter
evidence of the fact that the cotton
growing states are to become the
center of the cotton manufacturing
industry of the United States.
George Gould’s opinion that we
are “on the eve of a national pros
perity unprecedented in our history”
finds an echo from every business
man who keeps his finger on the
pulse of American business.
A great many soldiers in the army
of the unemployed seem to think it
dishonorable to <?es< rt and go io
work.
