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. 4444444444*44444 ♦ LETTERS FROM 4- THE PEOPLE 44444 4 44444444444 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.

(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.
