MENDING THE BIBLE.
Text—ls any man shall take away from the
words of the book of this prophecy, God shall
t’lke away his part cut of the . book of life, and
out oi the holy city.—-Revelation xxii., 19.
Inspiration foresaw that the time
would come when theie would be
burglarious attempts to purloin por
tions of the Bible, and one man would
bieak in here and another man would
bieak in there; and my text comes
out with astounding emphasis and
d-dares that the gates of ueaven will
clang shut against the entrance of all
those who so maltreat the Bible.
‘ God shall take away his part out of
the book of life, and out of the holy
city.” You see it is a very risky bus
iness, this changing of the holy Scrip
tures.
A pulpit in New York has recently
set toith the idea that the Scriptures
ought to be expurgated, that portions
ot them are unfit to be read, and the
inspiration of much of the Bible has
been denied. Among other striking
statemt nts are t he=e:
Tile book of Genesis is a tradition
ot creation, a successive layer of tra
ditions thought out centuries before.
Moses’ mistakes ab mt creation were
the mistakes of his age. That there
are many systems of theology in the
New Testament. That Paul had all
tue notions of the rabbinical schools
of his time. Teat Job winds up his
epilogue In genuine fairy tale style.
That Revelation is a long array’ of
misshapen piogenyintbe apocalyp
tic writing, tracing themselves back
to Daniel. That R velati in comes
to a madman, or leaves him mad.
That what he calls the abominable
lewdness of some things in the Old
Testament is not tie to be read. Tnat
it is an abominable misuse oi the Bi
ble to suppose the prophecies r> ally
ioretell future events. The B os
oi Daniel i not in the right place;
That Solomon’s Songs are not in the
right place; and ue seems to applaud
the idea of some one who said that
the Book of Solomon’s Song ought
not io be in auy< he’s bauds undei 30
yeaisofage. Heinrima'es he does
not believe that Samson slew a thou
sand men with the j iwbone of an ass.
That the whole B bls has been im
properly chopped up i_to chapte.s
and verses.
He does not believe the b ginning
oi the Bibi. , and he do.s not believe
the cl. se of it, nor anything between
as fully inspired of God, and he
thinks the Bsuk ought to be expur
gated, and there are those who re
echo the tame seiitim nt. In other
woids, it is Tuomss Paine and Rob
ert Ingersol. in g.wn and bauds.
But tuey have more excuse, because
they openly and above, b ard deciare
their infidelity, while that man
stands in a Cnristian pulp t assault
ing toe Bibie—the puipit of an non
ored denomination in wh ch Bishop
Mcllvaim- and Archbishop Leighton
and the venerable Steph, u H. Tyng
were chief apostles. Now, 1 believe
in the largest libe ty of discussion,
and there are halls and ope. a houses
and academ.es oi music where the
Bible and Chiietianity may be as
saulted without any in eri upti >n ; but
when a minis er of the Gospel sur
renders the faith or any tienomina
nation, his first plain, honest duty
is to get cut of it. What would you
trunk of the eleik in a drygoods store
or a factory or a banking house who
should go to critic sing ihe books ot
the linn and den unci ng the behav
ior ot the tirm, hi 111 taking tne sa ary
of that firm and the supp nt ot that
firm, and doing ail his denunciation
of the books ot the firm under its cov
er?
Certainly a minister of the Gospel
ought to be as honest with bis de
nomination as a dry goods c.eik is
h nest with his employers. The
heinousness of finding fault with the
Bible at this lime by a Christian min
ister is most eviden . In our day the
Bible is assailed by scurrility, by
misrepresentation, by infidel scien
tists, by all ihe vice ot earth and all
the venom of perdition, and at this
particular time ministers of religion
fall into line of criticism ot the word
cf God. Why, it makes me think of
a ship in a September equinox, the
waves dashing to the top of the
smoke-siacK, and the hatches fasten
ed down, and many prophesying the
foundering of the steamer, and at
that time some of the crew with axes
and saws go down into the hold of
the ship, and th< y try to saw off
some ot the planks and pry out some
ot the timbeis because tne timber
did not come trom the right forest!
It does not st em to me aoommenable
business tor the crew to be helping
Hid winds and storms outside with
their axes and s .ws u side. Now
this old Gospel ship, what with the
roaring ot earth and hell around the
stem and stern, and mutiny on deck,
is having a very rough voyage; but I
have noticed that not one of the tim
bers has start.d, and the captain
says he will see it through; and I
have noticed that keelson and coun
ter timber knee are built out of Le
banon cedar, and she is going to
wiatherihe gale, but no credit to
those who make mutiny on deck.
When I see ministers of religion in
this particular day finding fault
with cue Scriptures, it makes me
- think of a fortress terrifically bom-
■agMbßfag- •- - ’ .3g!tL?S!i
Sunii an SBi|sl|Biig mnw£
birded, and the men on the ratn
paits, instead of swabbing out and
loading the guns and helping fetch
up the ammunition from the maga
zine, are trying with crowbars to pry
out from the wall certain blocks of
stone because tney did n >t come from
the right quarry. O! men on the
rampaits, baiter fight back and fight
down to the common enemy instead
of trying to make breaches in the
wall.
While I oppose this expurgation of
the Scriptures, 1 shall give you my
reasonsforsuchopposition. “What!”
say some of the theological evolu
tionists whose brains have been ad
dled by too long brooding over them
by Barwin and Spencer, ‘‘You don’t
now really believe all the story of the
Garden ot Eden, do you?” Yes, as
much as I believe there were ros-s
in my garden last summer. ‘‘Bur,”
say they, “you don’t really believe
that the sun and moon siood still?”
Yes, and it I had strength enough tn
create a sun and moon I could make
them s and still, or cause the refrac
tion ot the sun’s rays so they would
appear so to do.”
“But,” they say “you don’t, really
believe that the whale swallowed
Jonah?” Yes, a.nd if I were strong
enough to make a whale, I could
have made very easy ingress for the
reteactorv prophet, leaving to evolu
tion to eject him if he were an un
worthy tenant! “But,” say they,
“you don’t really believe that the
water was turned into wine?” Yes,
just as easily as wine is now often in
to water with an admixture of strych
nine and logwood. “But,” say they,
“you don’t really bel.eve that Sam
son slew a thousand with the jawbone
of an ass?” Yes, and I think that
the man who in this day assaults the
Bible is wielding the same weapon!
There is nothing in the Bible that
staggers me. There are many things
I do not understand, I do not pretend
to understand, never shall in this
world understand, but that would
be a very poor God who could be ful
ly understood by the human. That
would be a very small Infinite that
could be measured by the finite. You
must not expect to weigh the thun
derbolts ot omnipotence in an apoth
ecary’s balances. Harting wiih the
idea that God can do anything, and
that He was present at the begin
ning, and that He is present now,
there is nothing in the Holy Srip
tures to arouse scepticism in my
heart. Here I stand, a forsail of the
ages, dug up from the tertiary forma
tion, fallen off the sbelt ot an anti
quarian, a man in the latter part of
tne glorious nineteenth century, be
lieving in a whole Bible from lid to
lid!
I am opposed to the expurgation of
the Scriptures, in the first place, be
cause the Bible in its present shape
has been so miraculously preserved.
Fifteen hundred years alter Herodo
tus wrote his history there was only
one manuscript copy ot it. Twelve
ttuudred years after Plato wrote his
hook there was only one manuscript
copy of it. God was so careful to
have us have the Bibls in just the
right shape that we hive titty manu
script copies of the New Testament a
thousand years old, and manv ot
them fifteen hundred years oid. This
book handed down from the time ot
Christ, or just after the time ot
Christ, by the band ot such men as
Origen in the second century and
tertullian in the third century—men
ot different ages who died tor their
principles. Tne three best copies of
the New Testament in manuscript
are in the possession ot the three
great chuicnes —the Protestant
Church ot England, the Greek Church
ot St. Petersburg and the Romish
Church ot ltdly. It is apl tin matter
of history that Tischeudorf went to a
convent in the peninsula of Sinai,
and was by ropes lifted over the wall
into the convent, that being the only
mode of admission ;an 1 that he saw
there in the gwaete basket for kin
dling of the fires a manuscript ot the
Ho y Scriptures. That night he cop
ied many ot the passages ot that Bi
ble, but it was not until litteen years
ua 1 passed ot earnest entreaty, and
prayer, and coaxing, and purchase
on his part that destroyed the Holy
Scriptures wis put into the hands of
the emperior of Russia —that one
copy so immediately protected. Do
you know ihat the c italogue of the
books ot the Old and New Testa
ments, so we h ive it in the same cat
alogue that has been coming on down
through the ages? Thirty nine
books of the O.d Testament thou
-auds ot years ago. Thirty-nine now.
Twenty-seven books of the New Tes
ment sixteen hundred years ago.
twenty-seven books or the New Tes
tament how, Marcion forwickedne s,
was turned out of the church in the
second century, and in his assault on
the Bible and Chris ianity he inci
dentally gives a catalogue of the
Bible-that catalogue coi responding
exactly with ours—testimony given
by the enemy ot the Bible and the
enemy ot Christianity. The Catalogue
now just like the catalogue then.
Assaulted and spit on, and torn to
pieces and burned, yet adhering.
The book to-day, in three hundred
languages, commuting tour-fitihs ot
the human race in their own tongue.
Three huudr< d million copies of it in
existence. Doer not that look as if
this Book bad been divin -ly protect
ed, as if God had guarded it all
hrough the centuries? Is it not an
argument plain enough to every hon
est man and evciy honest woman
that a b -ok divinely protected and in
ihis sbap.s is in the very shape that
God wants it? It pleases God and it
ought to please us. Tne epidemics
which have swept thousands of oth r
books irno the sepulchre ot forget
fulness. have only brightened the
tame of this. There is not one book
out of athousand that lives five years.
Any publisher will tell you that.
There will not be more than one
book out of fifty thousand that will
live a century; yet here is a Book,
much ot It 1,600 years old, much of it
4 uuO years old, with moie rebrand
and resilence and strength in, it
than when the Book was first put
upon parchment or pantrus. Tais
Book saw the cradle of all other
books, and it will see tm-ir graves.
Would you think that any book like
this, some of it silty centu.ies old,
would come along hobbling with age
and crtuches? Instead of that, more
potent than any other book of the
time. More copies of it printed in
the last tert years than of any other
book—Walter Scott’s Waverly No
vels, Macaulay’s History of England,
Disraeli’s Edymion and all the pop
lar books ot the day having no such
sales in the last ten years as this old
book. Do son know what a struggle
a book has in order to get through
one century or two centuries?
A lot of books during a fire in a se
raglio of Constantinople were thrown
into the street. A man without any
education picked up one of these
books, scholar looked over his shoul
der and saw it was the fi S'. and sec
ond decades of Livy, and he offered
the man a large reward if he would
bring the books to bis study ; but in
the excitement of the fire the two
parted, and the first and second de
cades of Livy were forever lost.
Pliny wrote twenty books of history;
all lost. The most of Meander’s
writing lost. Os one hundred and
thirty comedies of Plautus, all gone
but twenty. Euripides wrote a hun
dred dramas; all gone but nineteen.
Eschylus wrote a hundred dramas;
all gone but seven. Varro wrote the
labarious biographies of seven hun
dred Romans: not a fragment left:
COLUMBUS, GA., SUNDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 11. 1883.
I Quintilian wrote bis fivorite book on
i tne corruption of eloquence; all lost.
Thirty books of Tacitus lost. Dion
Chasins wrote eighty books; only
twentv remain. Rerosius’ history all
lost. Nearly all the old books are
mummified and are lying in the
tombs of old libraries, and perhaps
oucein twenty years some man comes
along and picks up one of them and
finds its the book he does not want.
But this old book much of it forty
centuries old, stands to-day more
discussed than any other, and it chal
lenges the admiration of all the good,
and the spite, and the venom, and
the animosity,and the hypercriticism
of earth and hell. I appeal to your
common sense if a book so divinely
guarded and protected in its present
shape must, not be in just the wav
that God wants it to come to us, and
if it pleases God ought it not to please
us? Not only have all the attempts
to add to it. Many attempts were
made to add the aprocrypal books to
the Old Testament. The Council of
Trent, the Synod of Jerusalem, the
Bishops ot Hippo, all decided that
the apocryphal books must be added
to the Oi l Testament. “They must
stay in,” said those learned men; but
they stayed out. There is not an in
telligent Christian man that to-day
will put the Bood of Maccabus or the
Book of Ju lith beside the Bsok ot
Isiah or Romans. Then a great many
said we must have books added to tfie
New Testament, and there were epis
tles and gospels and apocalypses
written ami added to the New Testa
ment, but they have all fallen out.
You cannot add anything. You can
not subtract anything. Divinely pro
tected Book in the presented shape.
Let no man dare to lay bis hands on
it with the intention of desraeting
from the Book or casting out any of
these holy pages.
Beside that, lam opposed to this
expurgation of the Scriptures, be
cause it the attempt were successful
it would be the annihilation of tire
Bible. Infidel geologists would say,
“Out with the Book of Genesis in
fidel astronomers would, "Out with
the Book of Joshua;” people who do
not believe in the atoning sacrifice
would say. “Out with the Book of
Leviticus;” people who do not bs
in the miracles would say, “Out
with all these wonderful stories in
the Oid and New Testaments;” some
would say, “Out with the Book of
Revelation; snd others would say.
“Out with the entire Pentateuch,”
and they would go on until there
woufd not be enough of the Bible
left to be worth as much as last
year’s almanac. The expurgation of
the Scriptures means their annihila
tion.
And lam also opposed to expurga
tion of the Scriptures, for the fact
that in proportion as people became
self-sacrificing 'and good and holy
and consecrated they like the Book
as it is. I have yet to find a man or a
woman dis'inguisbed for self sacri
fice, for consecration to God, for ho
liness of life, who wants the Bible
changed. Many of us have inherited
family Bibles. Those Bibles were in
use twentv, forty, fifty perhaps a
hundred years in the generations.
This afternoon, when you go home,
take down those family Bibles, and
find out if there are any chapters
which have been creased by led pen
cil or pen, and if in any margins you
can find the words. "This chapter
not .fit to read.” There has been
plenty of opportunity during the last
naif century privately to expurgate
the Bible. Do you know a case of such,
expurgation? Did not your grand
father give it to your father, and
di 1 not your father give it to you?
Be-ides that, I am opposed to the
expurgation of iheSeriptures because
the so-called indelicacies and cruel
ties of the Bible have demonstrated
no evil result. A cruel book will pro
duce cruelty—an unclean book will
produce uncleanness. Fetch me a
victim. Out of all Christendom, and
out ot all the ages, fetch me a victim
whose heart has been hardened to
cruelty, or whose life has been made
impure by this Book. Fhow me one.
One of the best families I ever knew
of. tor thirty or forty years, morning
and evening, had all the members
gathered together, and the servants
of the household and the strangers
that happed to be awithin the gates —
twice a day, without leaving out a
chapter or a verse, they read this
holy Book, morning by morning,
night by night. Not only tne older
children, but the little child who
could just spell her way through the
verse while her mother helped her.
The father beginning and reading
one verse, and then all the members
of the family in turn reading a verse.
The father maintained his integrity,
the mother maintained her integrity
the sons grew up and entered pro
fessions and commercial life, honor
ing every sphere in the life in which
they lived, and the daughters went
into families where Christ was honor
ed. and all that was good and pure
and righteous reigned perpetually.
For thirty years that family endured
the Scriptures, Not one of them
ruined by it. Now, if you will tell me
of a family where the Bible has been
read twice a day for thiriy years, aud
the children have been brought up
in that habit, and the father went to
ruin and the mother went to ruin,
and the sons and daughters were des
troyed by it—if you will tell me of
one such incident, I well throw away
my Bible, or I will doubt your verac
iiy. I tell you if a man is shocked
with what he calls the indelicacies of
theWordotGod.be is prurient in
uis taste and im igination. If a man
cannot read the book of Solomon’s
Song without, impure suggestion, he
is either in his heart or in his life a
libertine. Ths Old Tess ament des
cription of wickedness, uneleanness
of all sorts, is purposely and right
eouslv a disgus log account, instead
of the Byrouic and the Par
isian vernacular which makes sin
attractive instead of appalling.
When those old prophets point you
to a lazaretto, you understand it is a
lazaretto. When a man, having begun
to do right, falls buck into wicked
ness and gives up his integrity the
Bible does not suy he was overcome
by the fascinations of ths festal
board, or that he surrended to con
vivialities, or that he became a little
fast in its habits. 1 will tell you
what the Bible says: “The dog is
turned to his own vomit again, and
the sow that was washed to her wal
lowing in the mire.” No gilding of
iniquity. No garlands on a death’s
head. No pounding away with a sil
ver mallet, at. iniquity, what itneeds|is
an iron sledge hammer. I can easily
understand how people brooding
over the d eception of uneleanness
in tne Bible may get mo;bid in mind
until they are as full of it as the
wings and the back and the nostril
and the claw of a buzzard are full of
the odors ot a carcass, but what is
wanted is not that the Bible be dis
inf cted, but rhat you, the critc,
hiVeyour heart and mind washed
with carbolic acid! I tell you, at this
point in my discourse, that a man
who does not like this Book, and
who is critical as to its contents, and
who is shocked and outraged with its
descriptions, has never been soundly
converted. The laying on ot the
hands of Presbytery or Episcopacy
does not change a man’s heart, and
men sometimes get into the pul
pit. as well as into the pew, never
having been changed radically by
the sovereign grace of God. Get
your heart right and the Bible will
be right. The trouble is, men’s na
tures are not brought into harmony
I with the word of God. Ah I my
| friends, expurgation of the heart is
i what is wanted. You cannot make
; me believe that the Scriptures, which
this moment lie on the table of the
purest, and the best men and women
of the age, aud which were the dying
solace of your kindred passed into
the skies, have in them a taint which
the strongest microscope of honest
ciiticism could make visible. If men
are uncontrollable iu their indigna
tion when the integrity of wife or
child is assailed, and judges and ju
rors as far as possible excuse violence
under such provocation, what ouglit
to be the overwhelming and long
resounding thunders of condemna
for any man wno will stand in a
Christian pulpit, and assail the more
than virgin purity of inspiration, the
well beloved daughter ot God? Ex
purgate the Bible 1 You might as well
goto the old gallaries in Dresden
and iu Venice and in Rome and
expurgate the old paintings.
Perhaps you could find a
foot of Michael Angelo’s
Last Judgment that might ba im
proved, Perhaps you could throw
expression into Raphael’s Madonna.
Perhaps you could put more pathos
into Rubens’ Descent from the Cross.
Perhaps you could change the crests
of the waves in Turner’s Slave Ship.
Perhaps you might go into the old
gallaries ol seuliure aud change the
forms aud the posture of the statues
ot Phidias aud Praxiteles. Such an
iconoclast would very soon find him
self in the penitentiary. But it is
worse vandalism when a man pro
poses to re-faguion these master
pieces ot inspiration and to remodel
the moral giants of this gallery of
God.
Now, Let us divide of. Let those
people who are critical of this and
that part of it, go clear over to the
other side. Let them stand behind
the devil’s guns. Tnere can be no
compromise between Infidelity and
Chtistiauiiy. G ve us the out-and-out
opposition of lull ielity rather than
the work of th se hybrid theologians,
these mongrel ecclesiastics, these
nalf-and-nair evoluted pulpiteers who
believe the Bible and do not believe
it, who a cept the miracle and do not
accept th m, woo believe in the in
spiration of the Scriptures and do
not believe in the inspiration of the
Scriptures—trimming their belief on
one side to suit the skepticism ot the
world, trimming their belief on the
other side to suit the pride ot their
own heart, and feeling that in order
to demonstrate their couraga they
must make the Bible a target and
snoot at God. There is one thing that
encourages me very much, and that
is, that the L >rd made out to man
age the universe before they were
born, and will probably be able to
make out to manage tne universe
a little while alter they are dead.
Whild I demand that the antagonists
of the Bibie and the critics of the
Bible go to clear over where they be
long, on the devil’s side, I ask that
all the friends of this good Book
come out openly and above board in
behalf of it; that Book, which was
the best inheritance you ever re
ceived from vour ancestry, and which
will be the best legacy you will leave
to your children when you bid them
good-by as you cross the ferry to the
golden city. Young men, do not be
ashamed ot your Bfble. Tnere is
not a virtue butte commends, there
is not a sorrow but it comforts,
there la net a good law on the stat
ute book of any country but it is
founded on these Ten Command
ments. Tnere are no braver, grand
er people tn all the earth than the
heroes and the heroines which it
biographizes. Long live (he Bible —
King of Books! Hands off, ye hyp
ercritics of thia Kohinoor among
crown jewals.
Last Tuesday noon I was startled
as I saw on the bulletin the an
nouncement ot Gus ! ave Dore’s de
parture. I said: “la it possible
that that hand baa forgotten its cun
ning?” Os ail the works of that
great artist there is nothing so im
pressive as Dore’s illustrate 1 Bible.
What scene ot Abrahamie faith or
Edeoic beauty, of dominion Dividie
or Solomonic,of miracle or paiable.of
nativity, or of last judgmenr, but tne
thought leaped from the great brain
to the skillful pencil, and from the
skillful pencil to the canvass immor
tal. The Louvre, phesLuxembourg,
the National Gallery of Loudon com
pressed within two volumes of Dore’s
illustrated Bible. But the Bible will
come to better illustration than that,
ray friends, when all the deserts have
become gardens, and all the armories
have become academies, and all the
lakes have become Genesearets with
Christ walking on them, and all the
cities have become Jerusalems with
hovering shekinah, and the two
hemispheres shall be clapping cym
bals of divine paris, and the round
earth a foorlight to Emanuel’s throne
—that, to all lands, and all ages, and
all centuries, aud all cycles, will be
the best specimens of Bible illustra
ted.

| THE ESTEY ORGAN COMPANY,
An Interview With Manager C. M
Cady—No Dull Reason With
Wide-Awake People.
THE BItOAU ANl> ALABAMA STREET
HOUSE.
tYoin the Atlanta Post-Appeal.
A Post-Appeal reporter who culled
yesterday at the great music house of
the South had a good time. Mr. C. M.
Cady, the Southern Manager, knows how
lo talk delightfully, and yet waste no
time. He is not yet an old man, but
having been for thirty years in strictly
musical lines, and having been the editor
of the New York Musical Review from
1856, he naturally knows the business as
few do.
THE ATLANTA MUSICAL UNION.
He gave the pleasant information that
a meeting will be held on Broad street,
nearly opposite their oilice, next Tuesday
at 10 a. m. to complete the city organiza
tion so long talked of. The union will
embrace a tine military band, a first-class
orchestra, a trained chorus, and will open
the way for musical festivals, or even
something equal to the Cincinnati Col
lege of Music. Details will be given at
the proper time. •
SUPERB PIANOS.
This concern not only carries the
Steinway, Decker Brothers Wheelock &
Co., and Gate City Pianos, but they are
the sole agents for these celebrated makes
iu the eight States of Georgia, North and
South Carolina, Alabama Louisiana
Florida, Mississippi aud Texas; aud they
can only be had of themsfilves or their
agents. The Steinway, they consider the
finest piano made in the world, and rank
the Decker Brothers with the Chicker
ing or above it. The demand for a fine
piano, especially constructed to stand the
dampness and heat of the South, and
while superb in tone yet reasonable in
price, induced them to contract with a
reliable maker for the popular Gate City
Piano. This is not a stencil piano ou
which the maker is ashamed to put his
name, but is sold as it is, to avoid having
to pay fancy prices for names, diplomas,
medals and exhibition clap-trap. For
those who want to pay cash for instru
ments that are endorsed by the musical
world, they offer the Steinway. Decker
and Wheelock. But to those who need
time to pay in, and yet want full value
for their money, the “Gate City” is confi
dently presented. The Atlanta house is
backed by the vast capital of J. Estey
& Co., and as it buys strictly for cash,
and does not need to make good custom
ers pay for the losses by bad ones, nor
for the margins on “accomodation”
pricss, interest on long time notes, costs
of collection, and all the other flummery
that usually doubles the cost of the in
strument. Again, they are not middle
men nor agents for their leading goods,
but the instruments are in first hands, as
the makers or direct importers.
THE PARENT HOUSE.
Brattleboro,, Vermont, is a beautiful
village on the Connecticut river, with
its population of several thousand mostly
dependent upon the great Organ Com
pany lor livelihood. It an easy matter
to say “largest jn the world,” but when
one sees the eight three-story buildings,
separated to avoid tire risk, with engine
house, steam fire engine outfit complete,
machine shop and big patent dry house,
with the packing box factory; or thirteen
buildings iu all, does look as if the “very
higirpst" was fraud at last. The drying
house eats up twenty-four car loads of
prime lumber a week, and yet getting
twenty-four hundred Organs behind then
orders last summer, they have built still
another factory: They now turn out a
complete Organ for every ten minutes
of working time, and expect to run up to
1,800 Organs a month. Even this will
not more than fill the demand. There
must be some merit in an organ to sell
like that, for they are warranted for five
years, and therefore are not renewed
every season. One is curious to calcu
late how long it will be before each family
on earth has an Estey Organ, and, if the
timber on the globe will holdout to make
them. Home years ago it was found out
that rejected parts were taken from the
waste piles and sold as Estey Organs when
united. Now, all parts not up to the high
est perfection, are at once melted or burned.
They put in no dumb stops, but every stop
has a voice, and every name on each stop
is found on trial to correspond most exact
ly with the tone produced. There is not
a sham about it from keys to bellows.
COMBINED TALENTS.
Mr. Jacob Estey, the founder, is a kind
of New England edition of Senator J. E.
Brown, and Esteyville, a nice village, was
built to let workmen own their own houses,
while “Estey Hall,” the educational insti
tute of Raliegh, N. C., is a monument of
his generosity. The North Georgia Or- '
phan Home, has recently had a superb or
gan—but Mr. Cady says the reporter must
not talk about that. Julius J. Estey is the
liriancial manager, and is the son of the
founder. What he doesn’t know’of Ameri
can and European money matters, is not
hardly worth knowing. He is a Sunday
School Superintendent, Vice-President of
a National Bank and State Senator.
Mr. Levi K Fuller, who has only taken
out twenty-live patents lor reed organ im
provements, is a son-in-law of Mr. Jacob
Estey. He invented the drying house, and
is always thinking and producing. In the
science of acoustics, he has probably no
living equal. It is to him that the Estey
Organ owes the wonderful reed, made of
a brass that only one firm on earth can
make, cut by machinery far more than hu
man in its accuracy, to the ten thousandth
part of an inch, arid impossible to obtain in
any other organ. These three eminent
Christian gentlemen are the brain of the
Estey Organ in the North, as Mr. C. Cady
is iu*the South. The hands that make and
handle it, from the crude materials to the
delivery in the church, the lodge and the
home, are too far up in the thousands for a
reporter to attempt to compute.
Ot the beautiful cases, too, fresh and orig
inal as they are, a email book might be
written.
A BUPRRB INSTRUMENT.
High as is the reputation of the four su
perb pianos, one of them made expressly
for the sale of the Estey Organ which is
most the object of their love and pride. A
splendid instrument, worth $200.00, can be
bad from them at $90.00, or a little more
on time; but the Post-Appeal reporter had
the pleasure of listening to a grand instru
ment worth $300.00 and selling for that.
It is not their very best, as they have one
worth over $600,00, made to commemor
ate the making of the hundred thousandth
instrument, and the number now is over
one hundred and thirty thousand. But the
S3OO Organ is capable of giving a complete
concert in itself. There is nothing of the
child’s mouth-organ tone about its perfect
reeds and their adaption, which is studied
as if a human voice was being created
At times the voice of this almost living
thing, was low and tender as might be
that of a sweet voiced mother singing her
tired babe to rest. Then it was pathetic or
affectionate, a » if Tom Moore’s story ot the
Peri bemoanded her exclusion at the heaven
ly gates, or as if a lover prayed some lovely
girl to make two beings happy by leaning
her head upon his shoulder and resting both
their hearts in an embrace. Now it is de
votional, as if it felt that the praises and
prayers of a great congregation arose to
Gcd in its solemn tones, with the joyful ex
ultation of the saved, and the tearful pray
er of the penitent for pardon. In the same
voice the listener seemed to catch the tones
of the contrite and the suppliant, and of
the angel gladness which vocalizes the joy
and peace of the Better Land. Then comes
a change, and the wedding march is so ju
bilant that the soft air [under a rainy sky
, * had hints of orange blossoms, and one look
■ed at the performer curiously to see if ht
, bad been lately Wed.
Now it is beroric and peals out into a
I battle hymn, thrilling like the Marsaillaise
lor the Watch on the Rhyne, and
'' yet not either. Ah, now you are
listening to a lover serenading his
i sweetheart on the flute, and then others
. I seem to strike in, as stop after stop is drawn
.! and the wonderis, how one instrument can
so perfectly reproduce the tones of all, even
' to the bugle note and cornet peal.
, STRICTLY BUSINESS.
The subject will have to be taken up
again, as there is not room for all to be
said at once. It may, however, be noled,
that the Atlanta house has just in, twenty
four cases of accordeons, or twelve good
wagon loads. There are one thousand
dozen of one style of harmonicas, and vio
lins. (lutes, band instruments innumerable.
In brief, tiie Estey Organ Company is not
only one of the institutions of Atlanta, but
of the South, of which all have a right to be
proud. They warrant their cheapest
piano for five years, and keep it in tune lor
one year; and their sheet music goes all the
way from 600 pieces at 7 cents and 200 at
10 cents to the highest and most valuable
in Europe and in America.

PILES.
PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight In the back, loins and low
er part of the abdomen, causing the pa
tient to suppose he has some affection of
the kidneys or neighboring organs. At
times, symptons of Indigestion are pre
sent, as flatulency, uneasiness ot the
stomach, etc. A moisture, like perspira
tion, producing a very disagreeable itch
ing, particularly at night after getting
warm In bed, Is a very common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application ot Dr. Bosanko’s
Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon
the parts affected, absorbing the Tumors,
allaying the Intense itching, and effecting
a permanent cure, where all other reme
dies have failed. Do not delay until the
