up. which prompts us to ask what kind

This same “Vagabond” is “the

the so'triligious novel, which he calls
“Jesus the Nazarene.” If he is crazy,

THAT SACRILEGE.
ogise for and no word to alter of what ( and prays 1 and waited for the LLsirc
we have said in its condemnation unless to come the tub dawned u; on the j
we could find a s ronger term to insert mi <d ot a pri ).-t that as God worked in j
natural ways, the Messiah would have !
to be made. r lhere was nothing im
pure in this ; it. was lofty and noble.
r l hen Jesus was bom. lit- was early
taught that He was to save his people.
He was “r dsel up” with the idea con
tinually th-ust upon him that Ho was
the M ess i ah.
So, in af er years, when Lnzarus was
his dear good friend, and Marv and
Martin made the litt-.e home at i ethany
so pleasant fur him, it A’as perfectly
natural that he riioud have acted as
“very man,” and huve given his heart
in perfect, lovo to one. Accordingly,
wo find in the narrative by John where
is said that Jesus loved Martha, and
then is added, “and her sister and
Lazarus.” I speculate upon this ; upon
the pre eminence given to Martha, for
the others seem to have been added just
as a sort of corallary. I also speculate
upon the word which appears in the
original —’Agapa. This is the same
word which appears in Lord Byron’s
famous poem, “Zoa mou nan apupo.”
You see I admit that I speculate.—
There’s nothing wrong aboui it. Your
pr achers do, theologians do. every one
who reads the Bib’e does.
The above is the foundation of my
novel. The tender passages present
themselves. Every one is able to under
st.ind the fearful doubts which came to
the mind of the Best Mart. Those
great drops of b ood wlrch He sweat in
the garden ; every scene of sorrow, dis
trust and agony become doubly signifi
'•ant; the struggles between His love
for Martha and His sublime ambition
to redeem His people are seen to be
more intensely fierce. Then, as he
grew in heavenly wisdom, and rose in
m ignificent triumph above worldly
things, acquiring mor i and more fayor
with God, until lie attained His high
destiny, and upon the cross really be
came the Savior, the Redeemer the
Prince of Peace fie grew into [)ivin
ity. IJ its dyin' r sentence--“it is finish
ed,” means nothing less.
This is a shor , and I fear* incohe
rent outline of the work upon which I
am uow engaged. Can you as a sane
mun ca l it “poisonous” or dead y ? To
me it seems to be more beautiful than a
poet ; 8 dream of heaven, or an angel’s
golden vision of things that are highest.
Young Journalist.
Atlanta, Ga., Jauuary 16th, 1883.
Last week we copied an item from an
exchange, whioh stated that a young
journalist of Atlanta was writing a nov
el called ** Jesus the Nazarene,” which
novel contains a ficticious story of the
love—the human love, as we understand
it—of Jesus for one of Lazarus’ sisters.
We commented upon the Above named
paragraph in plain language —it would
have been severe could we have com
manded Kng ish to have made it so.-—
~ These reum-ks brings “the young jour
»>nli t ’ he author of the uforeiuention
o<l novel, fo. ward in a letter to b
found in another column, which he
*h Is “self exp anatory.” and iu whicu
‘'‘the »cuing journalist” is pleased to
dub our language ‘Shabby and un
just.” So mote it be. We believed wrimi
then that any such writing was “a sac
rilege,” and we have not changed oui
< pinion. Neither can wc appreciate
fhe high regard iu which “the younc
journalist” professes to hold religion
und the name of the Messiah while he
brings one into contempt and disrobes
the other of Hie divinity, and places
the Son of God upon the same plane
trith sinful inorta man. Such a work

queston of public interest when con

IS DIFFERENCE TO GRANT.
The po ser heretofore exercised by
ex-Pre ident Grant to a tract public
attention, is evidently rapidly waning
But a few years ago he was th central
point of a traction wherever he went;
and only a few years since, the govern
ment, controlled by the Radical party
—contrary to all law aud prece ! ent—
furnished him an expensively equiped
national vessel and a crew of United
States seamen, and perhaps other per
quisites. with which, in the grandeur of
royalty, to travel over Europe for four
years. His D ime was forever on every
Nor them tongue, and filled the public
journals. But things have changed,
und five years from to-day his u one
wil 1 be as .seldom heard as it has here
tofore been frequent. He is fust being
relegated to oblivion. The fo lowing
from the Hartford Times’ New York
let er tel s the who’e story ;
A few nights ago l witnessed a s'rik-
ing manifestation of the indifference
with which the urcat (irant is uow re
garded by the public. It was in Booth’s
theatre, and a good many comments
were made up. n it in the course of the
evening. Grant and a farm y party oc
cupied a second- ier box, and seemed a
good dea interested in Modjesk i as
“Frou-Frou.” Grant himself had the
most conspicuous se it, the outside one
nearest the stage, and in fu 1 view of
th • audience. Almost, every eye in the
house could see Tim as plainly as if he
bad not been twenty f et. away, and it
looked very much like he oocti’ied that
particul r seat because he wanted lo be
s en. Did the and.ence pay attention
to him ? Not a bit. He was recog
nized the moment he entered, but no
one seemed to think of him a second
time. His box attracted hardly any
more notice thau if its chief occupant
was Tom Smith, the successiul butcher,
or Uick Brown, the oil man As he
made his way out with the crowd after
the peifortuan *e, a few beads were
turned for a closer loo < at hi u, but the
looks were of mere, curiosi y. Not a
soul seemed to feel that there was the
least honor in being iu the same crowd
with the once mightv U \sses. It
was the first time l had seen him in a
tliea: re since one night when he and
President Lincoln were together at
Ford’* theatre, in Washington. What
greatness he has since seen, and yet
how unimportant he is to-day. When
he rides up and d >wn the elevated
road to and from his office, those who
travel in the seine train hardly notice
him. A soto voice remark nowand
them “That’s Grant,” is about the
only tribute he receives from hi-grate
ful couQtrymeu. But he is “wo 1 fixed.”
as the saying goes, and no doubt he
feels that it is all right.
