THE BIBLE.
’n the Editor pf The\Geqrglan:
Man came Into the possession of
property (the earth) and Into the fc>oa-
tcssion ot his physical and mental
! powers to appropriate and use thle
property to maintain his physical and
mental power* before he had any re
ligion, morals or beliefs in-regard to
his mission for the .future.
The race cannot be any different in
its growth, physical and mental from
that of the child. ’
The Bible gives a hjstory of a na
tion who are the leading or chogen
people of the book. It gives In It*
general outline the growth of thle na
tion from one Individual (Ite infancy)
to the millions which figure from first
to last In its pages. Bide by side It
shows up the physical and moral
growth of these people, and demon
strates that these people never sur
rendered up their property rights to
their God's moral decrees, but made It
appear tlylt God surrendered his moral
decrees and adopted their moral de
crees based upon their Ideas of prop
erty.
The book states that when these peo
ple were slaves/ they prayed for and
CM gave them their freedom, he prom
ised them.a country rich In every
thing. That they were to conquer It
•ml be masters of slaves, not only of
the? conquered, but of the weaker mem
bcis of their own race as well.
The Book also states that when they
Pt to the borders of the promised
land. God gave them ten laws which
they must not violate.
These ten laws forbid every act
ahlch they committed in taking pos-
sesrfon of Palestine.
" hen they got possession of Pales
tine. they set up a code of laws dl-
r*ttiy the opposite to the ten, and
signed God's name to them. Under
th* -* latvs they traveled the broad and
gilded road of conquest to the days of
Titus and the Roman legions. Then
their laws and’ their glided throne of
conquest, or violation of the ten com
mandments, went to seed, and the
Hf-man legions reaped the c/vp. Be-
lah. - .
The prime object In the Book
thus to show that the ten laws of
-Vmcs are set In the firmament and
written upon the foundation stones of
the earth, as a warning against the
day of Titus and are for all me
®1‘ races for all time.
They set up a condition of freedom,
b ; ,J h of person and property, and pro*
a coming day or condition, it
which none of these laws can or will
violated,
, Israel defied the thunders and the
lightning on Sinai, and the ten; but
n-.me avefiged and vindicated the ten.
The book states that at the sight
M**ea and God hid their faces behind
t! >* cloud on Sinai, and Jesua sat upon
hill overlooking Jerusalem, and
wept over the closing time and chap
ter. .
David,, the greatest king, In his last
days, repudiated conquest and blessed
Solomon as a man of peace, instead
of- the property and life rights of dll,
as In the ten, they choose the Indi
vidual property rights of the strong
and the running, and Titus.
What Is recorded In this book may
never have happened; It may be a
novel, but thd facts stand out that It
will flt any nation In history, simply
by changing the names and places.
All of the great Christian nations,
so called, have taken up the phllofeophy
of the Israelites and their property
right Ideas, and have made a religion
of them; and each one of them are ln #
search of a promised land and a "Ti
tus.” When the last Titus shall have
arrived on the scene, what then? Ar
mageddon? The signs Indicate the
appearance of the last Titus, and
armgeddon.
The Bible, then, 1* undoubtedly a
historical question, and a historical
question can be made a religious ques
tion, Just as our fancy dictates, but
the religious cannot obliterate the his
torical. In the ten, there Is no threat
of any punishment) consequently they
are simple notices.
This la so, because to threaten pun
Ishment Is to incite fear, and fear be
gets Insanity. Insane people cannot be
expected to do right, and herein Is the
divine wisdom In the ten. The laws
followed by Israel, ended with threats
or punishment. This made them In
sane, and Titus was the logical se
quence. _
Dr. J. W. Lee, .of Trinity Church, In
Atlanta, proved that fear was because
of Ignorance. The arralloy to this ii
that to produce fear Is an act of ignor
ance. Any religion then which teaches
or causes fear to enter the human heart
or mind Is the religion of Ignorance.
A religion to be good must leave this
The religion of property la baaed
upon fear. There Is no other way to
make individual property rights sa
cred. The religion of fear Is based upon
individual property rights, which in-
eludes conquest and wars 'of such
kinds.
The ten wipe all slavery and prop,
erty rights off the map, and proclaim
the time of universal freedom, but aet
up no religion. „ .
This la to establish th* fact that
.vhen man get* to the point that he
will be free, he will have the knowl
edge to know what It means, and how
to enjoy It. Thus, aa lie Increaaea In
knowledge, he has Is. of fear, and when
hla knowledge haa eliminated all fear,
he will cease to be religious. He will
have wisdom Instead.
An long as man Is possessed of Ig
norance and fear he will have a re
ligion with a hell in It and with this
banner flying, a la Don Quixote, will
travel straight to meet his Titus.
Thus we tnke our choice as to the
Bible teaching the doctrine of a hell or
not, for all iieople and for all time.
Perfect love (knowledge) casteth

Mr. Jordan suggested a better one, or

present method of future quotation ser
vice be abolished? Has lie any guar*
antee that factors, spinners" agents,
etc., would quote him honest prices?
or would the Southern Cotton Associa
tion keeis him posted as to this?
Mr. Jordan’s theory sounds very well
on paper, but It will not work In prac
tice. The South la Just beginning to
take on the more progressive Ideas of
the large business world, and thereby
enjoy her share of the world’s prosper-
Ity. It Is too late now to go bacH to
ancient methods.
It does not seem to me that the
method la ao murli at fault, but the
trouble Ilea with thosa that are using
It. Members of the cotton association
have been taught to buy futures
through the excitement created In dis
tributing literature broadcast In their
midst, claiming unreasonable prices for
cotton.
Mr. Jordan should use his energy In
a strenuous effort to purge the asso
ciation of these errors, and In the
menntlme It seems to me the old fable
as recited by Aesop, with which we are
all familiar, very aptly fits the case:
"The oxen once on a time sought to
destroy the butchers, who practiced n
trade destructive to their race. They
assembled on a cartaln day to carry
out their purposo, and sharpened, their
horns for the conteat. One of them,
an exceedingly old one (for many a
field had he plowed), thus spoks:
’These butchers. It Is true, slaughter us,
but they da so with skilful hands, and
with no unnecessary pain. If we get
rid of them we shall fall into the
hands of unskilled operators, and thus
suffer a double death, for you may Do

ers sb >uld perish, yet will men never
want licet. Do not be In a hurry ,to
change on t evil for another.’

A LETTER FBOM.JUWU8.
To the Bdttor of The Georgian;
It seems that you were slightly awry
In your editorial concerning Governor
Cummins, August 2. There has never
been a man, perhaps, In either of the
old parties who pas seen more clearly
the trend of corporate power to W'S
destruction of Democracy as conceived
by our fathers and enunciated In the
Declaration of Independence than the
Hon. Albert b. Cummins. Ho brought
the rallrosds to a full stop In his stst*
with the suddenness of a bumping post.
He was a csndldate for Ihe senate In
ISM. The railroads, having rharg* of
Iowa politically then defeated him.
Knbwlng they could not us# hlip, that
he was an unswerving patriot, a man
unalterably fixed In hla devotion to
right, In his love for the well-belfig
of the people, they sought to destroy
him politically. That was the oitenfng
of a light between special privilege on
the one stde and the’ people, headed
by Mr. Cummins, on the other. In 1901
the people, because of his decided stand
against the great transportation cor
porations thst had so long been rob
bing the state fore and aft, made him
their candidate for governor by nomi
nating him on the first ballot. Ho
was elected and, the hold that the
railroads had for, year* held on the
throat of th# state was shaken off/in
lees than thirty daye after he was
elected the stuff of which he was made
was put to teat. Both houses had
passed what was termed the Malaberry
bill, a bill removing the debt limit of
corporations. The, bill was gotten up
In the Interest of the desired merging
of the Great Northern and the Chica
go, Burlington and Quincy railroad*,
at the Instigation of James J. Hill,
headed by J. W. Blythe, chief attorney
and general political manager in the
state for tha railroad*.

ETERNAL DAMNATION;
ETERNAL PUNISHMENT
To the Editor af t’he Georgian:
Please allow me apace In The Geor
gian lo reply very briefly to an article
by Bro. J. J3- Lovelace, which appeared
In The Georgian on the 14th on "Eter
nal Damnation."
H Is not my purpnaa to crttlsla* the
principle thought or ld*a that he sought
to establish, to-wlt: Tha eternal tor.
ment or damnation, a* he expressed It,
of the wicked I* untrue, for In that h«
la correct. He doea not seem to recog
nise the fact that the doctrine of the
eternal torment of the wicked Is un-
scriptural, but he seems to have ar-
rlv*d.at tha conclusion from Ihe stand
point of reason, while, In fact, It Is un
reasonable, God dishonoring, blasphe
mous and aa unacr' 1m '
could possibly be.
The principle ob:
view In writing thle article is to cor
rect the erroneous Idea prevalent In
the minds of nearly all professed Chris
tiana that eternal damnation and
eternal punishment are synonymous
with eternal torment. Eternal damna
tion and etarnal punishment need not
necessarily be eternal torment, but
eternal torment would he eternal
damnation or etarnal punishment. Bo
lire. Lovelace uses an Improper term
lo express eternal torment, when he
epeaks ot It ss eternal damnation, for
while th* Hcrlptures nowhere apeak of
nor teach the eternal torment of th*
nicked, they do most assuredly leach
Ihe eternal damnation or eternal pun
ishment of th* wicked. To explain:
Adam for hla sin of disobedience was
condemned (damned—that I* wlist the
word condemned means) to death, and
all of hla posterity fell under the same
sentence of condemnation (damnation).
Hut this condemnation, or damnation,
that fell on Adam nml all hi* race Is not
in everlasting condemnation, or dam
nation, neither Is It an everlasting
or eternnl punishment, because God
has made n wny of escape for Adam
and hln race from this condemnation,
or damnation, of death through Christ
and In tlue time Adam and all his race
will be released from Ihe Adamic con
demnation, or damnation, which wan
the result of Ills sin of disobedience.
Hence the Atlantic condemnation, or
damnation, will end In the resurrec
tion, and consequently Is nol an ever
lasting damnation nor an everlasting
punishment.
There are no conditions whatever to
i .release from thn Adamic damnation.
"Jesus Christ by the gmc* of Ood tast
ed death for every man,” which Insures
th* resurrection of svery one of Adam's
race out of th* condemned, ilsmned,
condition Into which they have fallen.
Rut If God had mad* no provision
for a release of Adam and his roc*
from the Adamic damnation It would
hare been nn eternal damnation, an
eternnl death punishment, because It
would never end.
Our Ixird also suffered the same
damnation that was Inflfrted on Adam,
not by reason ot transgression, but

FOR THECOURT OF APPEALS.
To the Editor of Th# Georgian: -
Now that the much-needed court of
appeals Is a certainty, It la In order for
the people lo cest about for’suitable
occupants for the new bench. *1 wish
to suggest the name of a gentlemnn
who Is pre-eminently qualified for Ihe
position—Frank H. Miller, Esq., of the
county of Richmond. He has bean a
lawyer since he attained his majority.
Ills practice on Ihe civil stde ot courts
line been, and atilt la, large and Impor
tant. He !* without fear and without
reproach. Learned In the law, he Is a
gentleman of broad culture and high
scholarship, ffe has made Ills own
bright, clean record, but It will noOnt
amiss to state that he Is a son of .the
Honorable Andrew J. Miller, who
passed Into the other life In 1159.
Andrew J. Miller represented Rich
montl county twenty consecutive yenr*
In the senate and was two sessions
president of that body. He was him
self nn eminent lawyer. Hla son,
Frank H., suppressed, If he e-
Ishotl any, political ambition. He hoe
lived up to the Idea that the law la a
Jealous mistress.
Mr. Miller's life has been active In
the public Inlerest along educational
and similar lines. He la a methodical
worker, so Hint today, while past 50
year* of age, ho Is vary much younger
thsn his birth record would seem to
Indicate.
11s would grace the bench of tha
court of appeals—bringing to the
"He
--!#
an offering for sin." He pi
out HI* soul, even unto death, Unit
Justice might be satisfied and Adam
and hi# race go free of the Adamic
damnation. And sine* the glorious
morning when He arose triumphant
over death end nut of the A-I.milc
damnation He holds In His hands th»
key of death, and In due time will open
th* prison houses of death and relt-a.-e
the captives.
But a release from the prison bouse
of death, the Adamic condairmatl- n.
damnation, doe* not Insure eternal Ilf*
to any one; It only give* them ,n
opportunity of escaping a aecond dam
nation, a aecond death, a death from
which there 1* no resurrection and no
recovery, and this aecond death pun
ishment, this second condemnation, or
damnation, will be an sternal damna
tion which la tha eternal punishment
of the wicked. "Christ doetn no mom."
There remained! no more a savrltn *
for sin.
Those who Incur th* penally of Hi*
aecond ilealh," the second condemna
tion, or damnation, will be those who
reject the term# of the "new covenant"
setiled by the nrecloua blood of Clirl-t,
who choose death rather than llf«.
represented by the goat else* In Hie
parable of the sheep and the g«.,ts.
Th — clans, shall go inv
■ ■ ting punishment,” not
torment, th* second death punishment,
the aecond condemnation, or damna
tion, "but the rlghteoue Into life eter
nal."
On* Into a cutting off from life, the
other enters Into eternal life, rett.-u-l
to nil that was lost In Adam, repre
sented by Ihe aheep class. The sheep
class spoken of In this parable la not
the churrh class, the saints of ths gos
pel age ns most Christians sesm lo
think, because the snlnts are already
enthroned and reigning with Christ
during Hie mlllenlat reign and assist
ing In the separation of thi sheep fr-un
the goat class. And tills mlllcnlal reixn

the world, a Ihoussna-ycsr-dsy, ■> hen
all will have nn opportunity of return
ing by the "highway of holiness" bat k
to the Image of th* Creator and to sll
that was lost In Adam. It Is lo be n
day of blessing Instead of a day of
cursing.
But! must rut this article short, lest
It go Into the west* basket. I may
make further reply to Other statements
In lire. Lovelace's article at an early
day. .
In conclusion let me aay that not
only th# wilfully wicked will be pun
ished with the second damnation. Put
everything that Is out of. harmoni a (tit
Ood will be utterly destroyed, Including
Ihe Devil and all his angels, and death
Itself ss well as ahenl (hell) IP I. 2:14,

will become of Ihe wicked?

Maier & Berkele.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
You have been severely crltclged by
Mr. Hasvle Jordan regarding the poel-
tlon token !n your editorial concerning
the legitimate Cotton trade. The po
sition taken by you It the one Indorsed
by th# best business men of the North
In our great buslnesa center*. Mr. Jor
dan has been at the head of the cotton
association for about one and one-half
years, end probably has learned some
thing lo regard to future contract deal
ing In that tlifla, but the business In
terest* I mention above have made a
Close study nf these questions for gen
erations, both in this country and
abroad.
Does Mr. Jordan suppose for one mo
ment that hts efforts or the influence
of the cotton association can aver have
the effect of putting an end to this
great buslnesa?
Granting that there are evils In at
tendance upon th* present system, has
t* my Arm belief that corporate power
to Issue stocks and Irictir Indebtedness
needs regulation rather than expan.
ston.” That was In 1901.
True, Indeed, as you say. ho does not
hold the present tariff schedule In such
sacred esteem aa the ruling element
of hts party does, but It Is hts stand
against qoriHintte greed, hts stand for
the rights of man against the privilege
of money, that has endeared him to the
people and turned the corporation* and
their ally, the Republican machine, ao
bitterly against. Am a member of the
executive council he caused the rail
roads to pay taxes on property valued
forty-live mIHIonk of dollars higher
than It had been up to that time, giving
state at large forty thousand
dollars tt wa* entitled to from
these corporations, abd to th* counties
six hundred thousand dollars more. It
Is the things of which these are typi
cal that have embittered those en
trenched behind wealth all but filched
from the pocket* of th* people that
make those who don’t know the spirit
of an aroused people doubt the Issue
of this campaign. Mr. Cummins Is a
Republican only to name. He believes

Th* Mystsry of Gray Hors**.
To the Editor of The Georgian:
I have noticed of late a large num
ber of gray horses. It I* said that
when you see a gray hors* there I* a
red-headed woman In the neighbor
hood, In commendation of red heads,
parsons of that colored hair generally
hold old age better. Then It may be
that tha dark horse* are hid out until
the election for governor Is over. This
woutj^brfng the whit# horses more in
Bv the way, the selection of dark
jrses for governor baa not been s
EXTRA WORK’IN VACATION TIME.
In order that every men In the office
may get a short vacation. It Is neces
sary, as a rule, that the work may b*
doubled up and divided among th*
force that remains at home.
This means that every man In the
office, from the "kid” up to the boea,
will bare to take upon himself new and
unfamiliar work.
Now, there’s going to be a whole lot
of young fellows of the kind who watch
the clock, sleep on the shelf, are usu
ally half an hour lats, who will put
up a big kick because they are com
pelled to do all this extra work -with
out any ’extra pay. They forget that
the employer Is under no obligation to
glvs them a holiday or a vacation nn
pay, and that white they an away noma
on* must do their work. And ao they
kick, growl and whin* about tha mat
ter anti mak* the atmosphere of their
office dlssy with the blues and heavy
with wrath.
tb* win* young fellow In the
ao matter hts position, does not
growl or complain at th* unfamiliar
task or ths additional work. If h*
finds h* cannot get through with hit
work at the appointed time he doesn't
rata* a pandemonium because he Is
P lied to work a couple of hours to
up. On the countrary, he la glad
of the opportunity tn get out ot the
routine of hts own work; glad to learn
something about the other man’s work;
glad to ilo the work, to the best of hts
ability, of the man who la a little high
er up than himself.
And you will tint! this wise young
man doing the very treat that he can
to discover the secret of the hi
man’s success. He wants to know ■
the higher man makes hts short cuts.
And a careful study or hla books may
reveal tt to him. So he la content to
work.
More than thla. The wise young men
knows that In every office there are
freqiieqf, or at least occasional,
changes. He doe* not know Just what
moment the wind of fortune is going
to bring promotion tn the man whose
work he t# now doing, and he. th*
wise young man, be asked to nil the
vacant plat s.
Vacation time Is, therefore, the op
portunity of the wlsn young man wnn
remains at home and doe* other work
than hts own whUe the others are
away.
How true this I* Illustrated In this
fact: A young man hunted for work
with all the strenunusness that Is born
of the rtinsclousness of a wife and two
little children at home who needed
whet his wages could bring to them.
The only work he cjtuld find was a
position on a freight elevator In one of
our large stores. Lon” were the
hours, toltsoflie» the work, but the
remembrance of wife and baby at home
kept him to his task All summer he
worketl, and then all through the win
ter end spring. Through another sum-
to acknowledge that "George" had
helped him. Forthwith •Georg#" was
called on, anti again his nimble fingers
transformed a window Into n pictured
story thnt was like the memory of
floppy day*. Tito) meant promotion.
Tha wall of ihe elevator knew hint no
more. Today he I* a trimmer In I’hll-
udelphle, on n large aalary, and Is con
tinually making good.
Vocation tlms waa hla opportunity.
Vacation time, while Ihe nthor fel
lows are sway. Is your opportunity,
man, for making good. NVIII you

To th* Editor of Th* Georgian:

that other streets; If they are not
