The moderator read the rule.
lie read from the digest to prove that he
was correct. The sentence was too heavy for
only one office in a matter where there

and offense again the charges against Mr.
Block have not been fuUy substantiated.
He read several ca-es which the general as
sembly had reversed, even where the offense
was greater than Mr. Block???s and the pun
ishiuent the same. The proper way to nave
met this case was by kindness, and not by
severity.
Rev. H. Quigg, of Conyers, gave in a brie
and |*ointed manner his reasons for voting
in the presbytery to sustain the api*eal of
Mr. Block, lie thought Mr. Block had been
rudely treated, and had not been dealt with
the spirit of the Christiaq religion.

Mr. Quigg said he so understood it, and
affirmed his assertion.

Mr. McConnell???"I will sit down when

Mr. McConnell??????I would ask whether

Mr. Quigg then concluded his remarks.
Then the moderator stated that the mein-

the reasons that influenced their v<

Pr. Woodnow spoke on the appeal, and
was interrupted by Pr. Nall, who said an
appeal could not be debated. The modera
tor ruled that under the rule the brother
could speak once on such a question.
I>r. Nall insisted that he was right in his
joint of order.
The appeal was here withdrawn.
Mr. McConnell rose and said???"At the
proper time I will call the attention of the
synod to the gratuitous insult which has
been offered to me on this floor by a mem
ber of this synod???Mr. Clisby. I shall speak
of this matter hereafter.??????
Colonel Anderson here continued his ar
gument after the little tempest was past.
lie argued that Mr. Block, a model gen
tleman and a good member, had been dealt
with in a most rash and rude manner. Is
there any reason for such a summary pro
ceeding? It is inconsistent with the spirit
of our confession of faith and of the Scrip
tures themselves. I^t me soothe the
troubled feelings of this b*??dy by reading
from the word of God. It lias* not been
read from yet. Colonel Anderson read from
the 14th chapter of Paul's epistle to the Ro-
He said this chapter laid down the true
Christian rule for such a vase as this. The
spirit of this teaching is that a man who
does not dance has no right to judge of one
who does. Who can say that God has cast
off this brother? And are we holier than
God? Can we say that God has barred
against him the gates of heaven? How-
dare we to bar against him the doors of this
earthly temple? There has been too much
him. Cast him not down. St. Paul
"1 know and am j??ersuaded by the Lord
Jesus that there is nothing unclean of
itself." Weigh these words. There is a
world of meaning in. them. The kingdom
of God is not meat and drink. It is
righteousness and jieaoe. We dare not erect
a different standard from what Christ has
raised. We want oeaoe. But there can be
no peace when this Presbyterian church
goes forth like Mohammed with the Bible
in one hand and the sword in the other.
The general assembly says all dancing is
evil. Paul says the same of eating meat.
But he does not say that for eating meat one
mav be summarily taken before the church
and turned out. 8nch is not the spirit of
the Scriptures. If we enforce the law of God
we must reverse the action of the presby
tery and the session. How very small"a
matter is this which has occupied so much
attention. Mr. Block had an entertainment
at his home on the 27th of December. He
invited a few j*articular friends to meet a
sister from a distant state. There was a
dance on the oecation. Only two couples
waltzed. The record d-x-s not say who
waltzed. There is no evidence that the sexes
waltzed together. Is there anything wrong in
a couple ot ladies waltzing together? It was
said last night that all round dancing is
lascivious. Is it lascivious for two ladies to
dance together?
Pr. Leftwich here called the speaker to
order, saying that he was out of the reoord.
If Mr. Block will say that the sexes did not
dance together he would withdraw that ele
ment in the case.
Colonel Anderson continued???There is no
proof that there was any promiscuous dan
cing in this house. They simply hear that
there wa* dancing, and they at oncefiiandle
Mr. Block without waiting to hear all about
it. How insufficient is the evidence to sup
port this action* And they take his de
fense for contumacv and contempt. Neman
is to be condemned without a hearing, and
for contumacy he could not be condemned
without a citation to answer to the charge of
contumacy.
Dr. Leftwich, interrupting the sjieaker,
???aid that such was not the law.
Colonel Anderson???"I cannot give way for
half a dozen speeches.???
Pr. Leftwich???"1 am not making a half
dozen speeches."
Colonel Anderson continued his argu*
ment on Mr. Block's defense Mr. Block
claims that the deliverances of the general
assembly on dancing are not law for the gen
eral assembly would not dare to add to the
word of Gt*d. and for this he is accused of
contempt for theceneral assembly. He dis
claims responsibility for the dancing and
says he heartily disapproved it. and yet. he
is condemned. Tlrs is not the spirit of
Christ cr of the church. We must have
charitv. If you sanction such proceedings
yon will deal a blow at our church from
which she may not soon recover.
Dancing belongs to that class of offenses
to which SL Paul refers along with eating
p^at and drinking wine. It never was de-
After no
The synod met at 3 o???chick in the after
noon. and, in spite of the jtouring rain,
there was a very large attendance of visitors.
The body was called to order by Pr. Baker,
the moderator. The committee on foreign
missions submitted a rej??ort recommending
increased interest in the missionary field
It was received and adopted.
Mr. S. D. McConnell asked the attention
of synod to a question of privilege. He
said???: " While interrupting the counsel for
the appellant on a point of constitutional
privilege, a member of the synod???Dr. Clis-
[>v???characterized the act as indecent. To
allow him full opportunity to exjdain, 1
asked him if he meant to characterize mv
act as indecent. He said he did so intend.
I said this morning that at the proper time
I would call the attention of the svnod to

If I have violated any rule of this house I
am ready to apologize to the synod. But
this insult has been east uj*on me and it has
pained me deeply. I learn that the brother
retracted the offensive word soon after its
utterance, but I did not hear it and uinny
of the svnod did not hear it. I now give
the brother an opportunity to explain his
remark and hope lie will do
Pr. Clisby n*se and said: "In using the
word indecent, I was called to order. At
once I ajMilogized to the svnod as I was
bound to do. As to the brother. I did
not mean the won! in its gross significance,
hut in its Scr"
and I still thin!
sense. I intended not in any way to reflect
on the brother personally."
Mr. McConnell???I cheerfully accept the
brother???s explanation as he meant nothing
offensive tu me.
COLONEL ANUKHSOX COXTXXVES.
The unfinished business was then taken
up ami Colonel Anderson resumed his re
marks.
He said he would notice only a few more
points in the already prolonged discussion.
Even John Calvin may be brought forward
as a witness against this prosecution
John Calvin, the only man who has set a
precedent for such action ??? even John
Calvin is on the record against discipline
a case like this. He read from Dr. Adger
an exposition of Calvin???s views on the sub
ject. Calvin s??vs we must not attempt
carry discipline where the disease is
widespread that the sympathies of the peo
ple are not with us. If Calvin fails the
prosecution, whither will they g*
more attention be given to preach
less to discipline, and we shall have a better
church. Pr. Adger call* preaching the
effective weapon of a gracious ministry
It must be apparent then that there is m
law in the Bible that authorize* this prose
cution. It is apparent that all the leading
lights of our church agree that this is not a
case for discipline. Pr. Adger uses the very
wonts. Not only ha\e the proceedings been
irregular and rash???
Mr. McConnell???"I call the speaker

Colonel Anderson, in alluding to t
manner in which Mr. Block was examined,

Colonel Anderson.???All rieht! But it
in the record that he was disagreeably i

need not answer the question. The whole
examination was irregular and our book
does not allow it. ,
But Mr. Block is also charged with con
tumacy. The book defines contumacy as
refusing to appear when summoned before
the court. He did not fail to appear. T
was made a witness against himself, and
this meagre evidence he was suspended.
The whole trouble seems to be that Mr.
Block will not come on bended knees to the
majority of the session and say, "I am
wrong and you are right.???

Martin, of Atlanta, next being
called on responed by reading his retnar???
made at the presbytery where lie voted

were strongly put and plainly expressed.
He said he doubted at the presbytery
whether the deliverances were law, but no
he was sure they were not law. He nl:

Rev. P. Frazer, of Decatur, expressed the
reasons why he voted to sustain Mr. Block's
appeal. There is nothing in the church
standards against dancing. He said the
dictment itself was too weak to stand, and
the session should have quashed it
said the whole proceedings were irregular,
and the sentence quite beyond the law.
Mr. Frazer continued, when Dr. Irvine
asked, "How many reasons have you
Mr. Frazer???"Three or four.???
Dr. Irvine???"Ah, well, let us have them
then.??? [Laughter.]
Mr. Frazer continued his remarks,
tacking the authority of the church to bind

ple, and without their consent there is
church power on earth.

confine his remarks to the reasons which
fluenced him before he voted in the pre

faith that is in you."
Mr. Frazer???That???s just what lam doing
Mr. Frazer continued.

A Wreck of the Ring.
New York Letter in Washington Post.
Mary K. Hoag was a beautiful daughter of
a sister of Thomas C. Fields, who was so
cially the most brilliant member of
Tweed ring. One of Fields??? generou
performed before money Ixgan to flow
him from the ring coffers was to educate
niece. After her graduation she was ini
by her uncle to come to New York
preside over his household, Mrs. Fields hav
ing become estranged from him. IJ<
ambition to shine in social life wi

Fields obtained a divorce from
husband, and one of the allegations
her complaint associated the names'of _
husband and niece. A divorce followed
by a marriage of Fields to his niece,
oral months later the wife learned more
less of Fields??? association with Mrs. Garrett
and was made very unhappy. At la*T came
the break-up of the ring, and Fields tied
Canada Mrs. Garrett went with him,
and Mrs Fields was left behind
without the means of support. About
this time she became a mother. *???
retired from her sumptuous home
modest residence further up the river. Her
marital troubles led her to contract
habit of taking opium, and she became
wreck. For some time she haul been t
reiving remittances, supp<*sed to have come

and grad
Saturday last she was sent to the insane

it IS POOR POLICY
For any retail merchant to sell inferior
goods because lie can make
more money on them.
Ijj-trad of trying to find the cheapest
that can be bought,he should always
select THE BEST In the market.
We know of no business anywhere, in the
city or country, that would not sooner become
permanently established, and in the long
pay better, by handling only fair and honest
good*. To W Mire, custom may for & while
tie allured !>/ low prices into the purchase
of inferior and adulterated articles; r
even take up with short weight and other
swindling; but time rights all these
things,and nothing is more certain than tliat
HONESTY IS THEBEST POLICY
MEN DO BUSINESS
TO MAKE MONEYS
Ths surest way to accomplish this is to
build up a permaaeat trade.
This can not lie successfully done
, if inferior pods are soil
??? It is only by keeping the l*st articl t of thcli
kind, even if they do not pay the largest
immeduue proCt, that a permanent business
is built up. Keep the best soap, the best
starch, the best spices, the best baking powder,
and so on through, the whole li.-t. We have
known a grocer to lose a customer whose
trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars
a year clear profit to him, Ju-t because he
would not supply a baking powder ll.at v.aa
demanded by the Itti Hade.

It is a credit to any merchant s sfix-k, and is
one of the few good things he can confidently
recommend to every customer. It will sell
itself after one trial. f>*r its great merits are
soon appreciated. And not only so, but one
lady using it will tell others of the wonderful
properties of Sea Foam, and where it can be
purchased, and so the tide of trade will
gradually but surely set towa:d the enterpris

the ladies of Georgia where Sea Foam Ires
