THE BANNER, FRIDAY MORNING, MARCH 3, 1911.
JUDGE STARK
Jackson Herald Pays
Splendid Tribute to Well
Known Jurist. Judge
For Twenty Years.
The grand Jury saw fit to commend
in terms of highest laudation the 2
years administration of Judge W. W
Stark, judge of the city court of Jef
ferson. When he donned the judicial
ermine, he had not long been admit
ted to the bar. Some doubted wheth
er a young and inexperienced lawyer
would make good in presiding ov
the new court, but soon every doubt
was dissipated from the minds of tho
law abiding people, for Judge Satrk
soon proved that he was skilled in tho
law and Intended to enforce the same.
Next July he voluntarily retires from
the office. He could have held the
office longer had he desired. If he
had been a candidate we do not sup
pose he would have had an opponent,
There has never been a time since
he has been judge when the law ahld
ing people of this country would not
have given Judge Stark a hearty en
dorsement.

In his sermon last Sunday night on
the devil. Dr. Jenkens referred to the
rise of the "Abomination" or “Anil
Christ" under Paul’s name for him of
the "Son of Perdition.” And in doing
so criticized the view held by so many
that it signifies the return to power of
Roman Catholicism, saying it
nonsense. And no one more heartily
than we agree with him in this opin
ion. But he went a step farther and
declared, that It was worse nonsense
to conceive of this character as Mo
hammedan or Mahomet returned.
Hence this mud on our horns And
that set us listening, waiting to hear
him announce his ‘ man of sin.” And
what did we hear—Judas Iscariot
Judas to come back completely trans
formed, wholly divested of his former
self as traitor and sneak-thief and
now in the role of king, leader and
commander of armies numbering mil
lions, and in a conflict that la to cause
blood to flow to the horse-bridles and
•hake the foundations of the earth-
why Judas sits high enthroned! This
monster we are told shall "call down
hre Irom heaven" and "give life to
the Image of the beast and cause It
to speak, etc; moreover, that he shall
oppose God and “exalt himself above
every thing that is. called God” and
shall “show himself In God’s temple
as God.” And this Is found to be
Judas! Why this terror, after desolat
ing the earth and "making the world
a wilderness,” shall stand up against
Christ himself and with the armies of
nations at his back—and is no other
than Iacarlot! This the champion
* found worthy to dispute with Christ
the field of Armageddon! Dr. Jen
kens—how are the mighty fallen!
Yet, the 8criptures so declared, or
If several of Its passages even inti
mated such a thing Dr. Jenkens would
be right and It would be the manly
thing to proclaim It from his pulpit.
But to base his opinion on one short
phrase, where Christ characterized
Judas as “the son of Perdition” and
from this to draw his conclusion and
to dogmatize. It Is too much. Christ
on one occasion said to Peter "Get
behind me, Satan." Does that deter
mine Peter as the devil-ln-chlef? Cer
tainly. though Judas was s son of
perdition, others might he too without
infringing on his rights. Perdition
■Imply means lost, from the Ration
word perdo—I lose. Then any one
whose life had been blasphemous,
therefore unpardonable, might be
properly so characterized. And espe
cially this wonder who shall try to
pass himself off on mankind for Christ
and shall claim to be God In God's
own temple. Even then, when we arc
told besides In Revelation, that he
•ball go "Into perdition”—hence
doubtless the name. No, Judas has
not preempted the title to "Bon of
perdition."
But, quite to the contrary, Daniel
tells us In chapter 11-3'., that the "lit
tle horn” shall "place the Abomina
tion of desolation.” So also does Rev.
that the "eighth beast," which he im-
personates, shall be of “the seven”—
■even klngi, the founders of empires,
with Caesar In John’t time represent
Ing the Sixth. So, whoever stood for
the Seventh, yet It was an empiri
and the Eighth would be like It 1
kind >tnd from It descended. And
what connection bad Judas with cm
pire! Or, by what stretch of lmagi
nation could you conceive of Satan
employing aucb a weakling as his
vicegerent In this the most critucl
period of his career even his Water
loo, when he had been served by
Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Alexander,
Caesar, and Mahomet In this capacity.
Why Should not one of these rise up?
Christ, returning to earth, as shown
from 63rd Isaiah, comes by way of
Edom and from treading the wine
press, and with bla garments all red,
signifying the vengeance taken on
Esau (Mohammedans) and on their
leader, bow can we suppose on Ihia
Important occasion they would have
at their begd poor pitiful Judas
laearlot, a Canahite who bad noth
ing In keeping with tbeir nation? Or.
the other band we are told in Rev.
lt-20. Chat the "false prophet” falls
before Christ on this terrible Held,
myi’OST of the cuts you see jn ads are just electrotypes
1V1 which the storekeeper buys to use in his ads to
~ attract the eye and call forcible attention to the
articles advertised. He can show you nothing like it
in his Stock. He can show you something similar to it.
Today we present you with a real cut taken from
life. The costume we have in stock; the hat is here
also. Sorry we can’t show you the woman—she lives
in New York.
The costume—one of the newest of the 1911. mod
els—is from New York’s leading costumer, “THE
CROWN.” Their costumes can be found in Athens
only at our store.
We wish you could see their beautiful salesroom;
or, better still, their factory—as sanitary as science could
make it, their men and women at the machines are as
happy, as well fed, well clothed,well paid and as healthy
folks could be. No surprise that they produce beautiful
costumes. Of course, they are imitators. Paris leads
the world of fashion; Paris had the start by many hun
dred years. But it takes a sharp, shrewed American to
reproduce a Parisian gown at less than one-fifth the price.
If they didn’t, or if they couldn’t, we would not be able
show you these costumes. You don’t mind paying $25,
$40, $50, or even $75, for a handsome gown; but should
these gowns be priced $200, $250 and $375, you’d play
quits with us, and we couldn’t blame you.
Tomorrow will be the first complete showing of
Spring garments for 1911. You are invited.—Michael’s.

aid such was Mohammad. This cbor-
acter again we find designated by the
figures 666. (See Rev. 13-18.) And out
ol 12 or 15 ways of spelling Muham
mad (the Arabian way) in three dif
ferent spellings the name runs 666,
using the numerical value of the
Greek letters, the language in which
John wrote and to Greek churches.
So we call upon Dr. Jenkens to make
good hfs position. And we will un
dertake to answer him conclusively,
on paper or on the rostrum, that Ma
homet and not Judas is the "son of
perdition.” And, since he has a pul
pit at bis command, we beg to say,
Uta-. >t would be manifestly unfair to
■peak from It and not grant an op
portunity to reply.
Let no man mistake the spirit In
which this la written, with none but
the kindliest feelings for Dr. Jenkens.
For we are much indebted to him for
the fine compliment he passed upon
our book on tills subject, and we wish
to make public acknowledgement of
the same. But the Bible and Its teach
ing Is above all personal considers
tion: and it Is our purpose to prove to
you from its pages and In a way con
clusive beyond all cavil, that Mo
hamet shall arise ere long to desolate
the world.
