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 out all fear (religion.) Thle from (he book Itself. W. A. THOMAS. July 1«. HO*. Mr. Jordan suggested a better one, or a reufedy? What position would the farmer be In aa to marketing hla crop should the 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 assure) that, though all the butch ers sb >uld perish, yet will men never want licet.

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*.

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.

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 of tne Christ (head and body united t Is the judgment or probation tiny of 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.

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.

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.
