[communicated.] At Home, Pikcck Co., Ga.. I December 15th, 1879. Editor Dlarkshear News: 1 see a communication in your issue of the 4th instant from Luhiton, Ga., intemled as a reply to my letter of November 20 4 ,h. But 1 think that Mr. !l tv ill have to try again, as he seems to loose sight of the subject of my in¬ quiries ami leads oil* in another diree non. JIo reminds me of a man being called on to assist bis neighbor to kill a bear, and starts out and starts np a lime, and gets so excited over the chase that he forgets the bear, and returns ev hausfed. He evades the answer by n subterfuge, and tries to divert the tine Ibrs miud from the subject in con , ,r 'T y in- dt 7 ,1K€W,0 . cat " ly “ a 1 he only attempt he makes . . rirt.. <juote « ’ passages of script ure, to-wit: John 12-13; Romans 9- 20, wliieh, accord¬ ing to my understanding, does not the “ubjceG but hgida off in new direction. 'i lie cat. puzzle does only puzzle the eats.,but seems to the sfige old lbx v \h> leads off a t iradj* of abuse : rad Keif-boasting to their se^t. But sir, it is nb out »s I expected, for 1 ’ wording to their doc answer .,he questions hi my opin¬ withou charging God as being the . of / Ul In order to divert the If'jin the subject, he l ads off on <>t the new birth, and seems to ijrink no one but himself and sect l.ius any knowledge of the necessity of being born again. 1 am of the opinion that if he has been born again, he has forgotten how it came about, and loM sight of the cause that brought it about. I think he has never cousulvrod the nature of the case and effect. No one ever knew a clap of thunder and lightning to proceed from a clear sky; there is always a cause that produces a certain effect, which is fully substan¬ tiated in the par sage ot scripture he quotes from, John 1. 12, to-wit: “But as many as received him to them, lie gave power to become the sons of God. Your correspondent speaks of my not w ishing to offend, and puts it down as a proof ot ray not being callod and qualified, and speaks of it as a true mark of orthodoxy to be disposed to offend. I think the rule wFh them is to get offended themselves, and then seem to in others. Now Mr. H., I desire to add a new link to my cat puzzle, as you call it, by asking you or some one else the ques¬ tion: If I am lost aud go to hell, ac¬ cording to your doctrine as set lorth in my letter of Novembet 20th, who is author and responsible for my condem¬ nation. If God drew the line ot de raercation a long time before the crea¬ tion of man, and that for no cause seen in the creture, if ray doom was fixed by an unalterable decree, I ant not re¬ sponsible and had no means of escape, who is?

It took five premiums in Macon covering almost every test of efficience, dura¬ bility and style. It has actually come to be monotonous to write of the triumphs of the Singer, and yet we feel than whenever we may influence sotne women to buy a Singer, we thereby make life happy and one home comfortable. The Singer is a blesing, and to bring this knowledge to the people is philanthropic.’’—Sunday Gazette. This machine can be had at this office Apply to E. Z. BYRD, tf Agent.
