THE TITHE
AS A SYSTEM OF BELIGIOUS giving.
^ hether it is the duty of chris
tians of tlie PVsent day to give to
tIie service of the Lord a tenth of
their income, as did the Jews, is
receiving considerable attention
now not only in religious papers,
but also secular.
In the last issue of the Solid
South, our contemporary quotes
entire a dissertation from Rev.
Sam Baird, in which the system
in bitterly opposed, the author
calling it “anti-Christian and
mischievious” as well as accusing
those who advocate it of “imper¬
tinence." Our brother fully en¬
dorses the piece quoted in an
editorial in which he says:—“Dr.
Quigs: is preaching a series of
sermons on the tithing system.
In an other column will be found
a clear exposition of the question
by Rev. Baird. He handles the
subject in a reasonable, common
sense, and scriptural manner, and
it will be found interesting just at
this time.” Brother Irwin also
puts the following head to the
quoted piece: “A clear refutation
of the system.—It is antigospel.”
In the first place, we ask our
contemporary if he is sure that he
has been fair in the matter; for
out of the ten discources on the
subject published in the same
issue of the Christian Observer
from which “Rev. Baird’s” was
taken, he put before his readers
the only one in which the system
is condemned. He seems to think
that, among all this concourse, he
and Mr. Baird are a decided ma¬
jority. j
In the second place, we ask if
there is anything in the scrip¬
tures that directly, or indirectly,
condemns systematic giving for
the support of the church ? Does
not the New Testament explicitly
recommend it? If not, what is
the meaning of such passages as
the following? “Now concerning
the collection for the saints, as I
have given order to the church
of GAlatia, even so do ye. Upon
the first day of the week let every
one of you lay by him in store, as
God hath prospered him.” 1. Cor.
16, 1-2.
In the third place we would like
to know whether it is the quantity
given, or systematic plan, that is
objectionable, or both, Would
it be sinful to give to the service
of the Lord as much as one
tentli of ones income and do that
regularly ? Is God, who is the
author of all the perfect systems
the world ever saw, the enemy of
systematic giving? Would less
than a tenth be more acceptable
to God?
In tbe last place, we state that,
so far so Ave are aware, no one
advocates a plan by which Chris
tians of the present day would be
assessed, and the tenth collected
by force from them after the man
ner of ordinary taxes; biit that
we believe it is every Christian's
duty, under God s Word, of his
own free will to consecrate to the
service of his church not less
than one-tenth of his income.
Would like to hear from others.

The Montgomery Advertiser
very correctly says that some un¬
known newspaper gi\’es express¬
ion to a truth that all neAVspapers
may subscribe to: “No paper can
be published without home pat¬
ronage, and ever man is interested
in keeping up a home paper. If
a railroad or factory is wanted,
the newspapers are expected to
work for it. If a public meeting
is wanted for any purpose, the
newspaper is called upon for a
free notice. If any of the socie¬
ties have a supper or a reception
of any kind, the newspaper is ex¬
pected to give the necessary no
tice. The newspaper must puff
the schools and everything else to
advance the interests of tlie bus
mess of the place, and then give
them a handsome notice Avhen

shining brightly, and they were
close to tho image, so that they
could not be mistaken. In a few
minutes the image disappeared,
and could not be seen no more.
It is thought to have been the
negro man who Avas drowned
there some 4 years ago, and who,
colored people say, has been fre¬
quently seen there since.

NEVER JUDGE ER0M APPEARANCE.
How little is known of what is
! in the bosom of those around us.
; We might explain many a cold
ness could we look into the heart
concealed from us. We slioull
often pity where Ave curl the lip
Avith scorn and indignation. Hoav
true this is. We go into a crowd
of seemingly joyous, happy peo
pie, but watch the faces as they
pass you one by one. Sometime
there is no shadow, then again it
is but slight, and yet concealed
within the bosom is some secret
care or sorroAv, carefully guarded
from observation, and borne with
resignation, and yet we might
think life Avas all fair and bright
for that particular one. We can
never judgb from outside appear¬
ances. Those AV’lio suffer most in
this Avorld are most zealous in
their endeavor to hide their troub¬
le. To suffer and be strong is the
highest type of heroism. And
yet we do judge every day of our
lives of human actions. We meet
one burdened Avith some care or
sorroAv, striving hard to hide it
from an tinfeeling world, and Ave
call them cold and reserved; then
again those Avho have had some
great affliction and try and give
to the Avorld a cheerful face that
they may not bring tlie shadow of
their grief to darken the lives of
those around them. How apt avo
are to judge. They have no depth
of feeling, and are bearing their
trouble very philosophically, and
so we go on judging from appear¬
ances, doing- injustice often to
those who should have our Avarm
est sympathies and sincere admi¬
ration.
May God help us to speak evil
of no one, but to love one another.
For this world is lull of beauties,
Lilco other worlds above,
And if we did our duties,
It might be filled with love.

TO CONYERS.
Oh. thou doai - old nurse of my childish dredms
In whose lays I did croon o’er young: do
lijfhts;
Sweet place where my life dawned her chcq
nred day.
With her unfulfilled promise of golden light:
Old nest, where my birdling'S of ambition
throve.
And first assayed to soar; hut flutter, to
fall.
And die; with perhaps u few sighs that they
failed.
Or a few shed tears on their pitiful pall.
O thou dear old village, with thy various
streets
Full fickle in their many turns: thy hills
Like a giuut nest, holding white homes for
doves,
Whose eoo is child-laughter, and drone is
church bells.
Ah, hon»e—forever a shrine to my heart—
Of her face whose dear love gave me mjr
birth
Through whose eyes 1 up looked into blessed
content,
And forgave the failures of battering Earth.
Oh tire ami tig old town, sacred to tno now,
That among thy othor bright blossoms, lies
site,
Asleep on thy tender and loving old breast—
For this it’naught else, I love thee, I love
thee!
