DEBT AND RELIGION.
What An Eminent Divine Has
to Say About It.
The following letter from the
pen of Rev. Walker Lewis, D D.,
which appeared in a recent issue
of the Nashville Christian Advo
cate, is so timely and appropriate
that we reproduce it here. There
is a lamentable lack of a proper
sense of obligation along tho lines
suggested in tho article, and there
is ample room for a sweeping re
form :
“The police commissioner of
Atlanta recently enacted a rule
that any policeman who did not
1 pay his deb’s should be dismissed
from the service. The rule was
applied to five members of the
force this week, and it brought
money and joy to a number of pa
tient creditors. One effect of the
enforcing of this rule is to pro
mote the efficiency of the force,
because it elevates their manliness.
Honesty in dealing with private
'obligations inures to the improve
■ ment of the public service. A
1 >ose regard for contracts unfits
anybody, and gives evidence of his
unfitness, for places of trust. The
man who does not care that you
get what he owes you in money,
will not bo most careful that he
gives what he owes you in service.
The policeman that will not meet
his accounts cannot safely be trust
ei with a city’s interests. Integrity
of character is the best guarant}’
of faithful work. Conscience goes
further toward half-soling a shoe
well than goes either the selfihness
that dictates a good job, or tho
skill that can do it.
Caesar insists upon honest ser
vants. Should the church do less?
Church rules do not demand less
of its members than Atlanta does
of its policemen, but demand is
almost as far as the church goes.
The w-iter never knew one trial of
a member for not paying his
debts, and he was a Hardshell.
He took the homestead refuge and
his church took his scalp. We
need an infusion of this spirit into
the blood and conscience of all our
people. While the Hardshells
need toning up on missions and
toning down on whiskey, they
would raise the average of business
integrity in any other church of
today. Honesty is as vital to
piety as faith is. We cannot live
on our grocer and not pay for what
we eat without ceasing to justly
belong to the church. To do that
really makes a debtor belong to
his creditor. If what one eats is
transmuted into his body, into
bones, hair, muscle, then he be
longs to the grocer whose provis
ions he has turned into himself,
unless he has paid for them, and
is only a proxy on the roll of his
church.
* *
*
A great deal has been said of
late years about worldliness.
There is much of it in the church ;
and it is to be deplored. But the
worst forms of worldliuess are sel
dom mentioned in the jeremiads
of pulpit and press. Bad as are
the ball, and the theater, and the
card table, they are inferior in the
degree of the worldliness, and in
the reproach they bring upon the
church and the cause of God, to
do that other worldliness —com-
mercial looseness. It is not so bad
to play cards or attend theaters as
it is to play with debts, to make
them and not settle them. And
yet the saints are often shockingly
unconcerned about obligations to
meet their dues. It is less sinful
to gamble than to get clothes and
provisions without giving the
salesman a dollar of his bill. He
that said, “Love not the world!"
also said, “Owe no man any
thing.”
The cry for discipline should be
reeded here if anywhere. The
olight of practical dishonesty is
vider than the influence of the
■theater or the dance. The man
,vho owes a just debt to his neigh
bor ought to be made to pay it. I
’ear the heresies of honest think
ers far less than the unfaithfulness
of dishonest traders. Debt unpaid
is doing much to impede the
movement of the gospel to disciple
. the unchurched multitude, and
i operates, wherever there is cot dire
inability to pay it, as a counterac
tive of the leaven of the grace in
the soul. We can neither enlarge
our borders nor intensively culti
vate our fields, while commercial
integrity is impaired, and the
stigma is condoned rather than
condemned.
*
But it is not possible to dis
cipline the members for a sin the
ministry practice. It is high time
that preachers were become honest,
tho whole of them. If we of the
pulpit don’t meet our accounts, so
far from disciplining commercial
delinquents, we cannot decently
exhort them to settle their debts.
If a man is owing for dry goods
and groceries everywhere he ever
lived; has a fatal facility for buy
ing without paying for what he
gets, will he preach honesty, or
discipline members for lack of it?
Not unless he is a hypocrite. And
yet there are ministers that are
blacklisted, and are “unreliable”
in unpublished Bradstreets. O,
it is a great shame, and a greater
barrier to the conversion of the
world, that not a few preachers
don’t regard their promises to pay
any more than they reverence the
east wind. We need to have a
great deal of converting done in
us, before we can reasonably hope
to convert the world.
Our bishops could do better for
the church, and advance the piety
and influence of the ministry
much more rapidly by raising tho
question on every elder, “Are you
in debt?” than by inquiry into his
tax-gatheiing ability. It is tax
paying, not tax-gathering the
church needs. It is more pious to
settle for a beefsteak than to es
tablish a mission. Tho man who
owes nobody anything is fitted in
the knowledge of that blissful con
dition to preach a full gospel to
sinners, and only he.”
The Best for Children.
“I believe Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy is the best for children I
ever used. For croup it is une
qualled. It is a splendid seller
with us. —T. M. Eckles, Gh. G.

Wampum, Pa.” "When used as
soon as the first symptoms appear,
that is as soon as the child becomes
hoarse or even after tho croupy
cough has appeared, it will prevent
the attack. Tho mothers of croupy
children should bear this in mind
and always keep the remedy at
hand. It is also the best medicine
in the world for colds and whooping
cough. For sale at 25 and 50 cents

Says He Didn’t Make a Return
cn Township Entries.
A suit by the United States
against Amos B. Fitts and bis
bondsmen to recover 53,205, was
filed today in the United States

Amos B. Fitts was appointed in
' 1893 trustee of townsite entries of
i land in Oklahoma territory, and
gave a bond of SIO,OOO for the
faithful discharge of his duties and
to disburse all public monies that
came into his hands.
The petition alleges that he has
failed to account for $3,205 col
lected by him for town lots in
' Perry, Oklahoma, from October,
1893 to June, 1896.
The case is returnable to the
March term, 1897. All the inter

A farmer's wife has been troubled
from childhood with catarrh. Un
til within the lust few years, she
has not been treated for it. But
it has become so much aggravated
that she consu’ts her physician.
He treats her and she perseveres
faithfully, without avail, for
months. Then she tries a physi
cian in the city. Although his
charges are exorbitant, her hus
band gladly pays them: but she
gets no better. The farmer in de
spair, see his wife growing paler
and weaker every day. A cough
sets in, and consumption is near.
At last they read about Pe-ru-na-
The husband writes to Dr. Hart

NO ELECTION IN CHARLTON
The People of Charlton, Georgia,
Did Not Vote For President.
There is one county in the Uni
ted States that did not know of
the national election, that is Charl
ton county, Ga. The officials of
tho office of secretary of state are
authority for the declaration that
the people of the county could not
have known of the election, for no
election was held there and the of
ficial digest of the election in
Georgia has been made up with
Charlton left out.
The famous Okeefeenokee
swamp covers most of tho territo
ry of Charlton county, which is on
the Florida line, and indeed, runs
down into Florida. According to
the maps there are several towns
in the county’, with Traders Hill
as the county seat, but all efforts
of the secretary of the state to get
returns from there have proved
unavailing, and it is claimed as a
certainty that no election was
held.

BILL TO OUT OFF ELECTIONS
Four Year Terms For Governor
and Legislators,
With a view to limplifying pol
itics, Mr. Webb, of Cherokee, has
introduced a bill in the legislature
which changes the term of tne gov
ernor from two to four years and
makes him ineligible tore-election.
By the same author a bill was in
troduced to change the term of leg
islators from two to four years and
to make the sessions of the legisla
ture bi-annual instead of annual.
•‘There are too many elections in
Georgia for the good of the people,”
said Mr. Webb, “and my bill is for
the purpose of cutting some of
them off. Under the constitution
as It now stands, tho governor is
elected for two years. The custom
is to give him the indorsement of
a second term. This gives him
four years in the office. My bill
seeks to do away with this extra e
lection, which is a useless expense
to tho governor and tho people un
der the custom as it now exists.
There is a great temptation for the
governor under She present law to
use his office for the purpose of
having himself re-elected. My oili
er bill looks toward the same end,
cutting off of elections and making
po'itics purer than they are. If
legislators are elected only once
every four years, much of the tra
ding now going on for office will bo
cut off. The people are ripe for
this change and I believe tho bill
will pass and the constitutional a
mendment ratified by the people.”
While going to his placo of bus
iness about 4 o’clock Monday
morning, W. J. Foster, a grocery
man, was held up and robbed of
S6O at the corner of Auburn avenue
and Yonge street, in Atlanta
by two negro footpads.
