are not mlmy objects of want of the
necessaries of life in the county, but
still there are some. Only* last week :
we heard of a case where some of!
the Christian people of the town
had been furnishing supplies to one
who is sick, destitute and unable to !
help himself, and this suggests the j
question, why not have organized !
effort in this direction? There are ’
foseign missionftocieties; why not J
have societies to help the needy at

suggestion, good ; if not, let every
one become a missionary society

those who are really in need.
Railroad News.
President J. D. Williamson, of
the Chattanooga, Rome <fc Colum
bus Railroad Construction compa
ny. arrived in this city yesterday,
for the purpose of hastening the;
final settlement of the right of way |
throng the Boyce property, just I
beyond the city limits, the failure to !
secure which lias delayed the track- j
laying from this city for more than !
tt month. Mr. Williamson was seen j
by a Times reporter, and in reply !
to the question as to how the work
was progressing, said: “The work :
is progressing as rapidly as possi- !
ble. Forces of men are at work j
grading all along the line, and this ;
part of the work will be completed
in a verry short time.
“Track-laying has been common-1
ced below Cedartown, and will be
pushed forward rapidly, as there ,
are no embarrssing delays to be <
occasioned by insecure right-of
way. One thousand tons of steel
rails have already been delivered at
Cedartown, and one thousand more :
tons are on the road. The track
laying at that end will keep.up with
the grading.
“At this point is our delay. We
have already here on hand 2,000
tons of steel rail ready to be laid,
waiting on the settlement of the
Boyce matter, and we are anxious to
get at it as soon as possible. We have ■
already purchased an engine from •
the Alabamma Great Southern for
immediate use, and our order has
been placed with the Chattanooga ;
Car company for a sufficient num- i
ber of construction cars, for use in I <
building the road. We propose to; i
make things fairly hum from this i
time on, until you hear the whistle I i
of a through train from Chattanoo- j
ga to the end of the line.”
Mr. Williamson expresses no
doubt of the company’s ability to i
complete the road by June I. !<

Passing away I Passing away!—
The old year is passing away; and ;
with it has gone many loved ones
dear, who were wiih us last Christ
mas day! O! sad is the void and
aching the heart, and hushed is each
gay sound of mirth, for one link is
gone from the magical chain that
encircles the household hearth. Oh
say, is there one ’mid the favored
few, from the cot to the marbled
hall, who have not some cherished
one’s seat, placed idly against the
wall?
’Tis vain we draw close around
the cheerful fire: still one little niche
is there; and the fond eyes of mem
ory wanders around, till it rests on
the vacant chair. Ah ! keen is the
anguish deep but subdued, that
i
i steals from the heart’s recess, as
we gather around us the curtain of
thought, to brood o’er its bitterness.
I Again is the earth entering her :
mystical path to tread over un
! known space, upheld by the hand
of a merciful God whose linger is
! all we may trace. Still do we stand
i amid time’s decay, monuments of
I mercy and grace.
While another year’s gone with
its manifold joys and sorrows too
j oft brimming o’er, plunged in the
; vortex of the dark, dead past-—gone
| to return no more.
No more return! Ah, ’tis not so, !
! Alas, how - vainly spoke ! All will re-!
turn, and memory's cheek will blush
lor pale in token, at o’er the page in
j retrospect, the long array we view
of errors banished with the past—
j of hopes flown too.
I Time’s swift recording pen ne’er
'stops; we hapless mortals guide it
by thought unsaid and deeds we’ve :
done each record, we decide it.
i Tears of regret can’t wash them out,
nor repentance deep one line erase;
I but the gushing fount of Christ’s
dear blood’ alone blots out each inky
trace.

MARTIN LUTHER ON FUTURE PROBATICN-
It seems that Luther wrote a let
ter to Hans von Rechenberg in
| 1522, in which he indirectly refer
j ed to the question of future proba
! tion, a question which fills so much
i space in the theological discussions
'of the present day. This letter the
liberalists are trying to use in sup
| port of the doctrine, but the Lu
theran Visitors publishes the letter,
with an accurate translation, which
leaves them little to stand upon.
The letter, as translated, is as fol
lows: “If God would save any one
without faith, He would act against
His own word and would convict
Himself of lying—indeed, would
deny Himself; this is impossible.
It would, indeed,be another ques-
I tion whether God could give faith
to some in death or after death, and
■ thus could save through faith. Who
j will doubt that he can do this?
But that He does it, one cannotJ
prove. For we even read that 118
I first raised the dead again, in order|
jto give faith. Let Him do in this,
respect what he may; let Him give;
I faith or not, it is impossible that
anybody should be saved without
faith, else all preaching and gospel
and faith are in vain, false and de
! ceptive, because the entire gospel
makes faith

At The Christmas Tree, Dee. 26th,
1887. Upon The Importance of
Sunday Schools.
Below we give a brief outline of
the address delivered by J. I). Tay
lor at the Christmas Tree at the
Presbyterian church, which we
mentioned in our last issue. The
report, collated from memoir, with
the aid of a few notes furnished by
the speaker, is necessarily very im
perfect and ean give the reader
only a dim idea of the force of the
speech as delivered in the eloquent
and forcible style peculiar to Mr.
Taylor. Many amusing anecdotes,
witticisms and other interesting
features we have been compelled to
leave out for want of space. We
have sought to give the leading
thoughts which are of interest to
all who believe in Sunday schools
! as an important factor in the edu
iof children in Biblical truths and
lin expanding their minds in as
brief away as possible to present
the speech connectedly. The fol
lowing is the address. wK
Ladies and gentlemen: MohoiW
ed says the Angel Gabriel came tea
his bouse once upon a time and
that Gabriel’s eyes were so far
apart that it would take a pretty
good camel about three days to
! travel from one to the other. I of.-
t?n think of Gabriel’s eyes when I
hear people preach and speak and
especially when 1 speak myself be
cause there is often so little connec
tion between a text and the sermon
and between a subject and the i
speech that it would take a pretty :
! good camel mighty nigh three days ’
to travel from one to the other.
We frequently do unconsciously]
what the colored minister did de
liberately when he took his text!
and proceeded to divide his subject |
into different heads stating that it I
was dWided into fustly what was
in de text lastly what was not in
!de text and he was going to con
i sidder de last part fust. And so if!
I were to attempt to make a set!
, ! speech to-night upon any particu- ‘
' far subject ’ g'.vss I would
1 j the example of the colored brotliV
! so far that I would never get to thd!
| firstly part at all. lam sure that
it would take two camels mighty
nigh three-fliays to travel from my!
subject to my speech.
It is my purpose to make only a. j
I few desultory remarks and 1 may'
touch upon sevesa.l subjects and:
possibly upon none, b-wt I hope you)
will bear with me.
I believe this is a Sunday school t
picnic and I suppose I ought to!
say a little about Sunday schools
and I will, though I really don’t:
know much about them to say, and;
the fact is I am no Sunday school j
lecturer. We will suppose however
| that I am just for the time and i
that I am trying to make a Sunday ,
school speech, so I will begin byj
telling the boys and girls what I
Alexander Stephens said about j
; Sunday schools. j
He said he started to Sunday!
schqpl when a very small boy; that.
! his mind first began to develop!
jjßrere; that in after life he had been I
■hailed upon to fill responsible posi-
I lions in state, church and society’
and that in the discharge of the du-1
j ties of those important trusts ho
had found many things learned i
while in Sunday School of incalcu- ;
lablevalue to him. Now this is!
what the great Alexander Stephens
said about the institution of Sun-!
day schools. This is the witness
he bore to their merits, —and Alex
! ander is authority on most all sub
jjects,—with me at least. Now my
! Jttle friends he got to be govenor
of the great state of Georgia, and,
while I don’t much think every
! body who goes to Sunday schools
will get to be governor, yet, the
Sunday school might develop upon
your shoulders the head of a great
governor just as it did for little
Alexander Stephens; because they
do tell me that when governors are ’
little boys they look just like all
I other little boys. They don’t get
to having horns and claws until
they get to be governors. But if!
you can’t be governor you can be
and women, intelli- j
'■gent, upright and reliable citizens !
■and these are what our country!
needs far more than governors,
j If I were a Sunday school lect-!
! urer and I wanted to convince the I
! great mass of the people that they i
oug.it to support the institution, 1 '
! would not run at them with hells'
and graves. I would not tell them
if they didn’t go to Sunday school!
j they would go to the devil. I would!
I not argue from a stand point of!
duty alone: I would not speak al-
together of the sacredness and
beauty of the institution, because
to most people a thing is beautiful
just in proportion as it useful, and
reason must light up the path of
duty or a thinking man is not' apt
to travel them.
I would argue the question upon
principles of common economy. I
would endeavor to show people that
it is to their temporal as well as
eternal interests to establish, main
tain and attend Sunday schools.
People have different notions about
what their duty is and in this coun
try everybody has a right to his
opinion, but my plan would be, if
I couldn’t convince a man that, it is
his duty to do a thing, then try to
show him that it is Interest to do
it. Now the great question of this
age is the question of education.
Not the importance of it—not the
advantages of it—for all classes
recognize these, but the question is
how shall the education of the
masses be most effectually accom
plished? It is a question of vital
importance to every nation and
every people, but especially so to
us, for here are millions of rulers,
we arc our own governors, every
American citizen is a little King
and holds the septre of authority
and power in his hands, we make
our own laws, we interpret them,
execute them and the wisdom and
justice of our laws must be com
mensurate with our own wi-dom
and notions of justice, they cannot
rise higher. The enlightenment of
the masses of the people has come
to be recognized not only as some
thing desirable but as an absolute
> necessity. How can it be best ac
; complished? this is the question
i with which the great minds of the
i age are struggling, philosophers,
I statesmen, all are laboring to work
; out an answer to it. All the states
i have their free school systems. The
!' congress of the United St ites
is now considering a measure allow
ing federal aid for school purposes.
Georgia has hei school system, im
perfect indeed, not what it ought
to be, but by no means insignifi-
I cant. She pays a small pittance
!to teachers to teach her .children
-! only sixty days in the year—only
H sixty days. It looks like a very
'! small matter, but it is not, and the
' | people don’t consider it a small
matter. They make great sacrifices
1 in order to get their children into
i the free schools. That is all right,
j I am glad to see the people taking
] such interest in so good a l
mention these facts to sh«B~
I importance the people
I six y days school term. IntiSJlff
people, thinking peopl>, rightly
■ look upon our little free school as a
; big thing, yet many of the same
’1 people dont seem to attach any real
i importance to the Sunday school
’ institution. They seem to think it
j a very good place for cranks and
' old women to go to amuse the chil
i drer, a very good place for young
i people to go to play on the organ
I and sing, a very good place for the
I' little fellows to go to get them out
' of the ivay at home, for while they
I may not learn anything of much
: worth, they are not apt to learn
I anything bad. I say many intelli
gent people seem to regard Sunday
I schools in that light. They don’t
! seem to realize the fact that they
1 might be made auxilliary to the
common school, or to the high
; school, or to the college. They
' don’t seem to.realize that Sundav
' schools mightreven be made to an
j swer the same purpose—to take the
‘ the place—of “every-day” schools,
i just what Robert Rakes intended
!to do and did do by the institution
las established by him. Now let us
: see. We have sixty days free
i school in the year. In the same
! time we have fifty-two Sundays;
add eight more and you have a term
as long as the great free school.
Fifty-two days just as long, just as
bright, just as valuable time as any
1 other fifty-two days.
Why can’t people learn just as
\ much in fifty-two Sundays as in
fifty-two other days. If they would
employ these days as they should
by the time they are grown they
might be well educated. lam not
' advocating the making of the Sun
day school a part of the free school,
I but I am in favorof making it what
it ought to be, a place for mental
I development as well as moral train
ing. “They say it is the nurse-!
!ry of the church. Very well it!
ought to be. But I say to you
many of them in this country are
: nothing but the nursery of the nar-
rowest kind of sectarianisms. I,
I say that while it is a place for mor-!
al training it ought to be a place ;
for mental development as well. ,
! While it is the nursery of the
church it, ought to be the nursery (
of the state as well. Its object
ought to be the same as that of
any other school. And what is
that? Let us see. We don’t go to
school to learn to know things, we
go there to learn how to think. A
man may know a great deal and
yet not be educated, or he may not
know very much about books and
yet be highly educated. I have seen
men who reminded me of an una
bridged dictionary with a pair of
breeches on it. it seemed like they
knew everything that other people
thought, yet they didn’t manufact
ure any thoughts of their own, they
had a gread deal of knowledge but [
were not educated: then I have
seen men who didn’t know any Latin ;
I or Greek and not much English yet |
| their minds were a perfect thought I
I factory, they were educated. I |
mean they had learned to think. |
The term educate means to “lead
out.” It “leads out” expands the
faculties of the mind. It makes a
| man think. We don’t study gram
i mar to learn how to talk. It avails
| very little to know how to talk un
less a fellow knows what to talk.
Knowledge is the food of the mind.
Grammar and other school studies
furnish food for the mind and the
primary and most important result
achieved is mental strength, the
secondary result is learning how to
j talk etc. Now whatever will make
a man think a thought, a good
thought, as worth studying. And
I say that a child can be taught
to think just as well at Sunday
school as at any other school. And
they needn’t desecrate anything
' sacred by doing so either. They
needn’t study grammar and arith-
■ metic. They can study the Bible
' a life time and not learn it all then.
. Macauley says the Bible is of ines
timable value to almost all depart-
; ments of scholarship. It is valua-!
■ | ble es an educator as well as amor-'
lai guide.
■ Now this was Kobt. Rakes’ idea
I about Sunday schools and in my
' opinion he had the correct idea. I
■ \ believe people ought to lane a bus
| iness view of it and make it an in-
' i stitution useful as well as ornamen
-1 tai. A great study with all classes
now a days is how to accomplish
the most in the shortest time. It
‘ is a vital question. There is so
1 much to do, so much to learn and
I the time we have so brief that we
’ : can’t afford to throw away much
•' time.
II Now my little friends remember
| that you were put in this world to
i I develop your minds and hearts.
IlThis is your first greal duty. It is
" on b’ your mind that makes you bet-
the vilest dust. If you
will only cultivate it, enlage it, no
’ man can set a boundary and say
you shall go no farther. No
one can dream of what you may do,
■ of where you may go. Think what
a world of wonders dwells in that
little place, the head! There all
the spindles of our factories first
turned, there * the white-winged
ships first go in search of unknewn
shores: there the mighty engine
first moved its giant arm to turn
the thousand wheels of manufact
ure and drag the pondrous loads of
commerce: there all the schemes of
government and theories of philoso
phy are first wrought out, all the
inventions of art and discoveries of
' science are first tested beneath that
1 narrow mysterious dome.
Cultivate your minds and eterni
ty itself will alone reveal the pos
•' sibilities that you may be carrying
’ i about on your little shoulders.
. i Remember there is no excellence
I' without labor and if you ever do
1 anything you must labor to do it.
1| There may be great minds like a
■ I mighty temple with a thousand
‘ I wonders where the light breaks in
every side, but don’t start out be
-1 lieving that yours is that kind, it
• may be and it may not be. Begin
; | with the impression that your mind
'lis a dark cavern and that if the
i light ever breaks in on it you have
1 j got to peck the holes yourself and
I let it in. Labor and your reward
jis sure to come. They tell me that
the average life of a man is now
about 32 years. Taking out the
Sundays that many people throw
' away, cat and sleep away, the
j time required for working sleep
! ing and attending to the various
duties of life, thus only remains
two or thiee years for accomplish
. ing the real purpose so this life, for
cultivating the immortal mind. In
: this age of economy of labor, econ
omy of time is of equal importance.
As we economize with time, let us
not throw away many years of our
life as idle Sundays.
As we Irbor for the dissemination olj
knowledge let us not underrate
efficacy of Sunday scools. _<<
