MAGAZINES FOR JUNE.
1-
I .overs of magazim r. hail with pleasure
. the middle of each month. From the I.sth
to the J-'d our magazines commence to bo
laid upon our table and we know tin re is
an intellectual treat in store for us. The
temptation to lay down work ami take
up a magazine is irresistible, mid lienee
for a time one forgets the old adage.
‘ “All work and no play," and passes awaj'
an hour or so. not in play altogether, but
’ in enjoying the thoughts and writings ot
many of our most gifted authors.
There is on our table now - the June
numbers of Scribner. Harper. Home Com
panion, Ladies’ Home oJurnal, Leslie
National and several others, all filled.
t with good things too numerous to rm n
tion, but appreciated.
It is of a new magazine that we would
say a few words. The June number of
the Book Lovers' Magazine comes to us
(if possible) in a more attractive form
than any of the former numbers. The out
; side cover catches the attention first—a
rich brown cover lettered in gold and on
a crimson ribbon that passes gracefully
across the book is suspended a pictured
face of a lovely girl in a miniature frame,
ail so natural that one imagines a real
ribbon and locket of gold. J’he covet
only gives you a faint idea of the treas
ures within.
j The first article Is by Dr. S. D. McCon
nell and exceedingly interesting in
structive, “Beyond Three Score and
Ten.'’
MISCEGENATION.
Frank Orme says in the March num
ber of The Alkahest that the miscegena
tion of the black and white races, 'if
not .the sum of all villainies.’ would be
like giving of the franchise to the negro,
the sum of all blunders ami disasters."
He might have gone further and pro
nounced it. an unpardonable sin of the
white race; for an unpardonable sin is
one that destroys an Individual or a race.
From the best ethnological data., the
negro was before Adam, mingling with
superior races and always subordinate;
and yet. Ilk" the saurian holding his own 1
throughout the ages, for the reason that
tlie negro blood is able to reassert it.- If :
in later generations, while the white ;
grows yellow and dies.
The Creator has given the negro the ;
greater animality, and the Caucasian a
superior intellect to protect itself from :
the animal man—the hegots -the Loki of
civilizations; but since antediluvim times
the sons of G-od have taken unto them- j
selves the daughters of men, and tie, auso j
cf it nations have gone down many i
sunk in oblivion
The destructive principles of miscegena- i
tfon Is better understood by the world of !
today; for it has not only the history of •
past ages as illustrations, but scientific
lore points out the peril of race amalga
mation. According to a. scientific fact, I
Ham could not have been black, unless I
Noah’s generations were not as pure as I
he thought, and the unnatural miscegena- |
tion with a race of greater animalism
was revealed in that offspring.
“The white man's burden” of the
present day was first caused by the igno
rance and greed of nations, and as it
grows heavier must at last bring disaster
and destruction, unless the. white race
can spttlo the question intelligently; ;
otherwise unborn generations will neces- i
sarily suffer and perhap* be less able to ■
cope with the destructive influences at I
work. The race problem should be sot- ’
tied now and for all time, and colonization '
is the quickest and surest way, and the!
only hope of Caucasian purity.
When the white man found that the In- >
diai. was treacherous rind worthless ho I
sent him out; but the negro, who has not !
only caused the best blood of our land to '
flow. leaving thousands of desolate
widows and orphans, but the mconstruc
tb.n regime must heap indignities and
glut Ils [lower by turning a smnl-bar
barous people free to control and corrupt
our political existence. With all this the
south made the best of a bad situation,
and endeavored to help educate this
l.orde, even at the exuense of her own
children, although reviled in the most in
sulting manner by some northern writers.
These evils raised a greater barrier be
tween the sections. It Is lime now that
“tlie twilight of the gods" were passed,
tha.t tlie day may dawn for those who,
pure and innocent, would not If they
could, suffer such degrading influences
in our national life.
j Everyone knows that it is more neces
sary that the United States preserve her
moral integrity and racial purity than to
extend her commercial interests, and that
the safety of mothers and daughters is
of more Import than political Interests;
and ye.t we see the negro even more per
verted by the pernicious Influences of Ig
norant enthusiasts and unscrupulous poli
ticians. The landed aristocrat hns not
only placed his Italian tenants with the
negro, but forces them to occupy the
same house with only a. partition wall
between them. This arrangement Is re
sented by both the Italian and negro,
who are helpless in the clutches of greed.
Can we wonder that 'here are straggling
• negro brutes?
; The white representatives of our coun
try have shown their inability to protect
the women of the white race, when in
stead of removing the dangers that beset
them, a howling mob tortures a. criminal
at the stake, rakes the ashes for souve
nirs and goes home content, when they
could remove for all time the evil In our
midst.
The preamble of the constitution of the
United States reads:
“We, the people of the United States,
in order to form a more perfect union,
establish Justice, insure domestic tran
quility. provide for the common defence,
promote the general welfare and secure
the blessings of liberty to ourselves and
our posterity, do ordain and establish this
constitution for the United State's of
America.”
| The lack of intelligence and benevo
lence on the part of the legislators, the
voters and the would-lte educators, have
produced the reverse for which the con
stitution was formed, and when one of the
greatest' and most noxious agents, that is
used to destroy out liberties, causing
strife betv/on the sort ions and many
other degenerating influences, is asked to
bo removed the cry comes: “It cannot be
done; it. is unconstitutional.”
The w'hite man of the United States
does not carry the burden of the race
problem because he must, but because he
THE WKEKLY CONSTITUTION: ATLANTA. GA.. MONDAY. JUNE 8, 1903.
will. He fears chaos, while ho creates it.
He claims to bo honest and chivalrous,
when he does not know, nor cares for
tiheir true meaning. But if the white rep
resentatives cannot understand how the
burden may bo lifted the mothers and
daughters can teach them, just as they
have ever done where mercy and justice
are meted to the weak and helpless.
The negro, as did the poor Indian, Is
crying, “White man, let me go;" then
why must this Internal strife continue its
corruption of our national life, and
mothers and daughters be sacrificed to
lust and mammon?

INFORMATION COLUMN.
The best method of washing a large
rug is to stretch and tack it upon a
< lean floor, then scour it well with soap
suds. After the scouring it must be
thoroughly rinsed to remove all trace of
tlie animal matter in the soap, after
which it should not be removed until it
1s perfectly dry. Then it will not shrink,
and will lie perfectly flat upon the floor.
For an oily skin wash your face every
night with warm water in which pow
dered borax has been dissolved, the
proportion being a half teaspoonful of
borax to a quart of water. Use no soap.
Once a week, after washing and drying
the face, apply a lotion made of tincture
of benzoin, ounce; orange
flower water, one-half pint; rectified
spirits, two ounces. For the red spots
on your face stir two teaspoonfuls of
flowers of sulphur into pint of
new milk. D’t it stand fifteen minutes,
and then rub the spots with it every night
until a cure is effected.
To remove mildew, mix lemon juice
with .-all. powdered staiv-h and soft soap.
Applj with a brush an| jay in the sun;
or you may rub soap on the spots, scrape
! ( balk on them, moisten and lay in the
! sun.

DR. BROUGHTON’S SERMON
Dr Len G. Broughton continues his
series of sermons on the representative
women of the Bible. The character se
lected Is “The Witch of Endor,” In treat
ing her character he dealt, with the
present day witchery. He placed Chris
tian Science and spiritualism alongside of
tlie witch.
“Then said Saul unto his servants. Seek
mo a woman that hath a. familiar spirit,
that I may go to her and inquire of her.
And his servants said to him, Behold,
there is a woman that hath a familiar
spirit at Endor. ' 1 Samuel xxviii. 7.
1 make no apology for placing this old
witch in the catalogue of the representa
tive women of the Bible. Although her
profession was a despised one and con
demned by God. yet she stands for a
type of people that have ever lived.
It is interesting to see how many peo- i
[>le th( re are today who can be influenced ;
by witchery Some tlrm ago 1 bad a i
talk on this line wlt/h a. very prominent '
and cultured man. A man. by the way. I
who occupied a very conspicuous place in |
Christian work. I was surprised to find
that he bad consulted a spiritualist in
Washington not long since. He had gone
there to secure a ve.ry prominent appoint
ment, and he was about losing hope wlr u
he concluded that ho would consult this
old witch. He said it was a very won
derful performance she carried him
through, but finally she came out. with
the proper information. She told him
that he might, go home, that it was very
doubtful about, his appointment. He took
her advice and went home. In a few
days the appointment was made. .'.nd.
sure enough, he was le£X out. “Now,"
said he to me. "how did she know that?”
“Why." said 1. "I could have told you all
that before you left home.”
The spirit of witchery is by no means
dead. Back in Ihe. law God declared
against it. Leviticus xx, 6: "And tho
soul that, turneth after such as have
familiar spirits, and after wizards, to go
a whoring after them. I will oven set
my face against that soul, and will cut
him off from among his people.” God
fearing people have gone right on with
their spiritualistic practices. Great sys
tems have be-n built on it. Upon it
fortunes have been staked. Dejncsti" and
social relations have beqn broken up.
Only a short time ago I read of a fam
ily that was separated forever by the
mischievous meddling of an old gifisy
witch. Os course, witchery Is more pow
erful in some sections and among some
people than others. Take the negro for
example. He is more frightened by the
apeparance of a witch in his house tbm
by smallpox and yellow fever combined.
I have beard of their staying up all
night and burning rags, as they say, to
stench the witches away. I sunpose, now
they smoke cigarettes instead of burning ;
rags. I nin sure it would be a more I
stenching process.
The Negro and Ghosts.
Joe Price North Barulina's great negro
orator, used to toll this story: He sai<j
it ocurred in his neighborhood. An old
colored man was employed to sleep at
a white man's house during the family's
absence. Some wild boys who know of
the old man's opinion of ghosts went one
night with white sheets around them and
stood before the window. The old man
broke the door down and ran for dear
life. Tlie sheet ghosts ran after him. i
Finjill.x. th" “Id mam's strength was ex- I
hausted, and lie sat down on the roadside. F
But th" sheet ghosts were not. to be out- !
done, so they came up and sat down. too.
i The old darky was too tired to run and |
too scared to speak. Finally th* - sheet
| ghosts dtf lled out, “Old-ntati-x ou-arc-a
--: might;, -runner.” “What's dat?" said the
: old darky. “You-a,re-a.-mighty-rdnner.”
l said the sheet ghost. “Oh, Lcrdy, bless
I you, ghost, you ain't seen nothing to
| what you is gwino to see," Then, as
;. quick as a flash, the old man was on his
I feet running like a. 10-year-old.,
We laugh at this in th" negro, but
i how closely some of us. who ought, to
! know better, approximate, him. How
! many of you have given some old hag
I 25 (-('.its to read the lines in .your hands?

I ground and spit in it. 1 never did this
■ but once, that I remember, then my
i fattier gave me a flogging before night,
i It took more than ctfigs marks to hold
' my father off.
The Witch of Endor.
Ail this is related to wttctiery. Toe
witch of Endor made herself famous by
working it. Many an old snake-eyed
woman since has done the same thing.
The witch of Endor had a good (flianee
to get fame. King Saul, the once promts
Ing young ruler, had by pride and power
fallen Into sin and corrupted his eo.m
try. He was guilty of almost every sin
in the catalogue. The murder of eighty
live priests was one of the sins that
j stained his heart. He despised every
i thing that was good, and honored every-
I thing that was evil. He had run this
I course until his conscience could stand
|no more. He knew that the Philistines
. were being marshaled to overpow '" him.
' He felt great jealousy concerning David,
whom 11*? tried to Kill. In tills p< t*-
dicament he grew desperate. He had
called on God and felt that. His ears
were closed. In tills state of mind ho
said to nis servants, “Seek me a woman
that hath a familiar spirit that 1 may go
to her and Inquire, of her ' Note that

woman who has led the witch host. Go
where you please and you will find that
the spiritualistic tads are championed
by woman. Modern spiritualism, new
thoughtism. Chrl.-tian Science and the
like, are all headed by woman. This is
a fact well worthy of study.
Eating- His Own.
Now it must be remembered that Saul
had previously ordered all the tribe of
witches to be put out of the country.
But there were a few left who worked i
their tricks on tlie sly. The witch of
Endor was one of them. There Is noth
ing known of her except in connection
with this incident. She is called tlie
woman of Endor, doubtless because she
worshipped the God Endor. The servants I
remembering tins woman referred tho I
king to her. So it night when the armies |
were quiet the king made his way over I
to her place. In order to escape del'-'- I
tion he di-giii- ' J himself. Think of a I
king in su.n a preifica inent! it ntily ,
goes to show how sin wili down i man. '

he assured her “no harm shall befall

not a pity the world has to be carri-'-d
through the school of trouble to learn
the b st lessons.
The Seance in Progress.
But we are not yet through with that
little seance Hi re In tlie room. The old
witch ea Is for Samuel, and when she
pi-etends to see him she turns to Saul
and screams, "Why hast thou deceived
me? Thou are Saul.” But Saul said,
“Be not afraid. Who sawest thou" ’ She
sitH. ”1 saw gads amending out tlie
earth.’' Then Saul slid, "ATal form I- he
of?' 1 She said. “An old m.iji with a i
mantle. Then Saul perceive"! that r v.a' i
Samuel. j
Now begins Hie tanious conxersation i
with the, ghost. Let us be <■'refill to i
xveigh every word. G"t again the Ida-e I
and the persons and the condition of 1
Saul's mind ami consemm-e.
The ghost Samuel sp- ahs to Saul, "Why |
hast thou di.-'i[uicte(l m to r; mg me up?” I
Saul answers. “I am sor.- (listi'e.-sed; I
for the Philistines make war :u; bust me i
and G“d is - departed irom me, and an- ;
swei rh me no mare, neither by prophets ■
! tier by <1: arus: therefore 1, have called 1

enemy? Ami the J,ord hath done to him, (
as He spake by me: for the L yl hath I
rent th" kingdom out of thir;.? hand, ami !
given it to thy neighbor, even unto David: !
Because thou obeyedst not the voice of the .
Lord, nor "Kecutedst Ills tierce wrath !

ihe" into th" hands of the Plniistincs, and |
tomorroxs' sha.lt thou and thy s ms be with I
me. the Lord also shall deliver the host ,
of Israel into th" band of the Philistines.” '
This xxnq, '."tri! news, but it proxed I
true. The philist Ines did rise up ami over- i
power him; tuid "ather than endure de- ;
feat, Saul took his own life. Poor man! i
How a great life is ruined by sin It j
should be a great warning to us today.
The Merits of Witchery.
But wliat of the merits of witeiiery?
Was this case a genuine communi ation
between spirits? Did the vja h bring
Samuel up and did Saul actually talk
with him
To both of these questions I must. ;
answer, no. First, 1 do not belierye that
any human poxver can call a sou! froth
the other world. This does not im-an that
departed spirits may not, in a sense, com
municate with tlie earth, but it is not for
a human being, whetlier spiritualist, or
wit« h, to command such spirits.
Again, if it is argued that, the witch of
Emior ami her successors today who go
under different mimes have divine poxver
imparted unto them so that they may
command spirits, we must remember that
God has forbidden spiritualism in the laxv
already quoted Is it like God to forbid
it and then aid it by turning ote-- to
them tlie spirits in the s[Arit world'? It
only needs a. little Bible knowledge and
"otnmon s— rhe folly of such a
tiling.
But how about Saul's conversation with
Samuel'.’ I don’t beli'-x’o be ev.-r ha.l any.
The whole tiling is the Holy Spirh's r.-<"-
ord of a spiritualistie seam.-". The truth
Is there, but it is left for us to work it
out.
First of all. it is not stated that Saul
saw Samuel. The witch said site saw ‘an ;
old man with a mantle." It was Saul who
said, "Samuel. ' Why did he say this?
First, !>■ -a us- It-- l ol Samuel on th"
brain. Second, the description which she
gaxe was like Samuel.
The cltaraetor of the. ghost's instructions
also xvas contrary to Samuel. Th“ com
plaint which he made xvas nothing new.
Samuel himself had made all this com- i
plaint at tile time xvlten Satti disobeyed
God in the matter of protecting Amelek
and sparing the best sheep and gor ts to
be of ft .-(I -is . acriii"-. t
God had d 'cftired that everything should
be destroyed. Saul, hoxvever. like many
of us today, thought ho could improve on '
Gori'S plan', so he kept back a part.
Samuel xvas God’s instrument in giving
Saul the commandment, an so he xvas ’
God's instrument in [ironouncing lodgment '
upon him.
This had all been previous!." gone over,
and Saul knew it, and therefore could
easily have supposed, under the mesmer
istic influences of the old witch, that
Samuel, who she had said was there, was
saying it all.
Again Saul’s future home, as declared
by the ghost, xvas incompatible with the
teaching of Samuel. Samuel is credited
with saying. “Tomorrow thou and thy
sons shall be with me.” Samuel was in
heaven. Was Saul and his wicked sons
to be with him? Certainly this is read
into the whole slorv by the witch her
self.
Mind and Matter.
There was no God in that seance. I do
not say that II" is not in any psychic
phenomena. 1 thoroughly believe in the
laws of psychology. Tho influence the
mind has over th" body is a xvonderful
fact. Physicians and publi- men every
where recognize this fact. This is hoxv
under hypnotic influences a patient, xvid
have a tumor extracted without knoxvlhg
it. Thousands of people have been cured
b.\’ the same laxv. They have imagined
themselves sick ’until they are si<-k, and
then they imagine thems(?lves xxell until
they are well.
Christian Science Imagination.
This is the basis of so-called t’hristian
Science. They get people I > believing a
thing is so until in some instances it is
so. The sad part of this practice ts that
they offer no solution to the man whose
imagination is not lik" a chameleon—
fits aiiyxvbere and any thing Again they
pretemi to build at mud tlii- little frag
ment of science which they haw, the
church of Jesus Chri'fi.
Christ xvas never intended to (l ister
His religion around healing “f any j'"''.
xvln ther psychic o- by i>ra;.‘ i- ami mith
or by the scion ■■ of drugs. The r< 'igi 'n
of Christ clusters around .in ami the

His religion. Everything el:— is inci

imagination, you are ami you ainl.ism,
new thoughtism, card tricks, palmistry,

Hies'’ and other kindred phases of xvitch
ery are .only a part of tlie great laxv
of psychology, to be explained by the
influc-ne'’ of the mind over matter. Anx r
one of them has just as much right to
be called a religion as another.
There is not erne of them that can

of God. There is nothing more thorough
