Some Things That Ought to Be
Done By Statesmen of the South,
-
Our section has been following a
p 1 icy since the war that has been
dictated by circumstances.
But the time has come when we
ought to take a proper plac: in the
councils of the republic, Instead
of waiting until some line of con¬
duct has been determined upon by
the Republican party, and then at¬
tacking them in their chosen po¬
sitions, we ought to ptsist upon
such legislation as will meet the
changed conditions in cur section,
regardless of whether it meets the
approval of the people of tlm North
and West.
The statesmen of the South have j
been dwarfed by the cry, that we
are not yet, far enough from the
war, to take an active part in the
government. When will we c me
to our own?
I have seen it stated, that fifty
years ago we did ti t manufacture
uny cotton goods except by the
hand looms at home. Butin the
year 1907 we produced more yards
of cotton cloth than the North,
Thus we see that economical cjues
turns confront us that was not con¬
sidered before 18(30. And that the
South is not alone great as a pro¬
ducer of raw material, but that she
is entitled to the first rank as a
manufacturing section Her iron
and cotton mills and railroads tes¬
tify to the progress that we are
making.
*~The negro, as a free man, has
increased his importance as a pro-
ducer and consumer many fold
They enter the market and are pur¬
chasers of all lines of merchandise,
and it is a notable fact, that they
buy the best flour, sugar, etc.
Our manufacturing establish
ments of every kind have been
multiplied until we hive ceased to
be a purely farming country, but
the world looks upon us as the
most promising section of the
earth. Our cotton crop alone in
the raw state is worth .$700,000,000,
and what will it be when we man¬
ufacturer and sell it, in the finish¬
ed state, to the millions of cus¬
tomers all over the entire earth.
We ought to be willing to let our
Yankee Doodle brother spin some
of it, but we ought to spin and
weave the rest.
Ottr tariff laws ought to bo re¬
vised, so as to equalize the burdens
of government as much as possi¬
ble, looking at all times to the
good of our own people. We ought
to insist upon an income tax.
In our State government, we
should insist upon laws to meet
every change of policy. Banks
should be required to give deposi¬
tors and customers ample protec¬
tion.
Public roads ought to receive
the greatest consideiation. The
It. F. D. system has been of great
benefit to the country people, and
the legislature of the State should
provide some way by which the
public roads in every section of the
State can be made so good that the
government will establish free de*
livery in every community.
Another matter that is of the
first importance, ptrtains to our
Does the Parable of th-2
and the Tares Teach That
the Wicked Should Be
Let Alone In the
Church?
From Baptist Bull** in.
Matthew 13:37.
This impressive illustration from
wheat and tares mixed in the same
has been interpreted to forbid
munication from the church.
Nothing seems to have been
from our Lord’s mind. He declares
“the field is the world”
That wicked people should be
out and excluded from the church is
plainly taught in other passages, e. g-
1 Corinthians, Chapter 5.
This parable seemed to be aimed
a current notion among the Jews of
time, that the coming Messiah
promptly destroy all those who did
submit to his reign, just as oriental
querors were accustomed to do As
example of this view we see James
John desiring to call down fire from
heaven upon the Samaritan village
cause it would not receive him.
John the Baptist had lent color to
idea in Matthew 3:12,—“He
gather his wheat into the garner,
the chaff he will burn up with
quenchable fire.”
They inferred that this would be
in a peremptory and wholesale manner.
The Roman Catholic church
stood it this way, and put into use
terrible death dealing instruments
the Inquisition for all who did not
knowledge the supremacy of the
olic Church.
Jesus here sets forth an
to rebuke forever this idea of His king¬
dom. It uses no carnal weapons,
sheds no human blood.
The roots of the wheat and the dar¬
nel are so intertwined that it is impos¬
sible to pull up one without the other.
Separation is so difficult that it cannot
be attempted in this age.
They must be allowed to live to¬
gether in all the relations of life. He
“sends the rain on the just and the un
just alike.”
The field about which he is speaking
is “the world.”
They are to abide side by side till
the Judgment Day—the end of this
dispensation.
The passage speaks of His Kingdom
in the sense of His reign, The para¬
ble sets forth something which would
occur in connection with that reign.
The real error in interpreting it grows
out of the attempt to identify the king¬
dom church.” with the so-called “visible
As a matter of fact there is no king¬
dom so well organized as to have no
“tares” in it. There was even rebel
lioninheavenor.ee! But John puts at
rest the very' idea of its being applied to
the church by saying “the field is the

“The good and the bad are found
intermingled until the consummation oi

“The mixture of the good and bad
in this 'world is of service. It is of ser¬
vice to the bad; it keeps them in posi¬

to the good; holy character is strength¬

palpable evil.”—Thomas.
“Let us remit our case to the harvest.
Do not be answering the fool and the
enemy now, and thus wasting opportu¬
nities which ought to be usefully em¬
ployed in endeavoring to do good, but
wait till the harvest. Then shall all
qualities be tested, then shall every
man have his proper place and stand¬
ing before God.”—Theodore Parker.
