WHITHER TBAVEU5© 1 The following editorial from tb« able and eonscrratire Albauj New* and Advertiser is suggeatire ; Puritanism i* *o obnoxious to many people that toleration tends to tbe ! other extreme, but in some localities j ! the boo. uncompromising w arfare is waived k s-ra.nst k everythiog that b*s j ! evil tendencies, , and , the ■ tnuolgencc • ■ - Ol .t | even a cigar 8 is prohibited. 1 A small village in a uislant otii« d <3 been the scene of a recent agitat ing incident of the deepest intensity of ir.tertsi to tbe romniiimty, and of incidental concern to all communities, it stems that a congregational church enjoyed the ministry of a pious and God fearing young pastor who repo* ed securely in the confidence of his people. When, !o! a change comes over the spirit of tie scene. This minister was de¬ tected in the privacy of bis home drawing consolation from the iragrant . tobacco stuffing of a Dutch pipe. At j first it could scarcely he believed that • so earnest and Godiy a man could be \ guiity of such a Godless habit of smoking so inverse to sanctify- ever, it was proved beyond all reason ; able doubt, and be was dismissed from j his pastorate. Is not th*'-#pirit growing in a meas j ure under the preaching of such men - as Sam Jones and Sam Small, men who j deny such innocent pleasures in the} name of temperance which they vio j late in the very language which they j employ to express their protest? It! takes diverse forms in different com munities. In one it will deny tbe preacher the right to smoke, to in dulge a luxury which harms none and promotes the interest of Christianity in aiding in the assimilation of tbe preacher’s fool, wlrch contributes to V- *«»• vfcnmafc i and intellectual vigor. In another, )t \ will .,, deny , right . . the , 1° ; the t J-ar? -n enjtn. .. unino.fS.c i. i t. - , .ai , *- tui fxe xe. - cise or spurt which can net posaitlj eventuate in any harm, hut bring health atnl liappincss, two :>f the mos-t powerful auxiliiarics a preacher ever had, to quality him for the careful cul tivation of an extended field of useful ness. Public opinion is the mo»t mcorri gible tyraut that ever shackled tbe ^freedom of mental and physical loco inotioc. Fashion manacles women’s willing minds without a struggle, but after an idea becomes the public opin ion, no man or woman dare run coun let toit. Here iu ebrstnin, and consequent ly charitable, communities of Georgia it i.- as much as any man’s reputation math less a preacher’s, is worth to brave public opinion. The worst ol it is that public opinion is not always right. The intolerant spirit of public censure ts kin to the Inquisition, it persecutes the good for any innocuous departure from arbitrary opinions, as we!! as the w icked for any indulgence that is Hurtful p»er so. «7irciir.?AniA.»* ftiiVk.
