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. Chas. R. Clemons. The Glades, Sept. 18, I*9B. #I.OO Per Annum in Advance. 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. S. M. Kimsey. Gainesville, Ga. 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. ► —— Any man may deceive other men, but it takes a genius so fool a woman. 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.
