MIMOX, SS3 Brwrfwx.y, S«w Xtrk- 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. Manager Wampum Pharmacy, 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.

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.

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. The Georgia mills and elevator company of Macon, is preparing to add $50,000 worth of improve ments to its plant. LOCAL SCHEDULE. = CHATTANOOGA, ROHE & COLUMBUS RAILROAD.= EUGENE E. JONES, Receiver.

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. An Impcrhni thanje.
