SAYS THE JOURNAL IS RKihT.
Quite a number of papers
throughout the state have com
mented on and indorsed The Jour
nal's position in regard to "relig
ious” debates, and the following
from the Brinkley Argus shows
the general sentiment of the state
press on the matter:
“The editor of the Newark .Jour
nal is having a wrangle with one
of those 'spitting preachers be
cause lit* saw lit to condemn de
nominational debates in his paper.
<i‘o on with the good work, Mr.
Journal man, you are just exactly
right in your position. If there j
is any thing that ought to make
Satan smile it is a public religious
debate between professed Chris
tians. There are thousands of op
portunities for a minister of the
gospel to reveal to the world the
superiority of his particular brand
of Christianity. People are starv
ing for the real, genuine, heart
felt, every day lessons in practi
cal common sense Christianity and
it doesn't matter a single bit
whether you are a Baptist, Metho
dist or Presbyterian, if you will
but strive to do the will of the
Master. Ministers who are foolish
enough to indulge in these public
disputes needn’t be surprised at
all, at men of the world shunning
their kind of religion. The day
of the public ’sputer has long
since passed.”
NEGRO’S BRUTAL CRI51E.
Pine Blu tl, March HI. Mrs.
James Mitchell, who lives with
her husband on the Warren road
about two miles from this city,
was assaulted by Robert Black
well, alias Will Adams, a negro,
yesterday at her home, and is in !l'
dangerous condition in conse
quence. I'he negro has thus far i
succeeded in escaping t he oiiicers.
owing to the fact that the matter
was not reported to the sheriff un
til late Thursday afternoon and
the negro had about eight hour- in
which to get out of the country.
The whole country is roused and
it will be dilKcult to prevent sum
mary vengeance if the negro is
found.
PERH APS FAT \LLY WOUDNED.
Lake \ illnge, April 4. Nelson
Lynn, 12 years old, living two
miles north of he*re, was shot and
perhaps fatally wounded yester
day by his six .tear old brother.
They were playing with a shot
gun.

SOME POLITICAL PROPHECY, j
Editor Tlu> -I mnvil:
1 was glad to notice in the last
issue of your paper that every
thing was so calm and serene:
I
that the ocean of thought had
quieted down and that you had
made the landing.
You should be very thankful to
your friends (especially myself)
for their timely aid. Had it not
been for us you might have been
ship-wrecked and cast upon some
foreign isle to pine away the re
mainder of your days. I knew
that 1 could get you out if I could
only get your consent.
Yes 1 see you now sitting by
your desk enjoying life, looking
as happy as a big sunflower. No
one can enjoy true happiness un-'
til they have once been into troub
le. Now, don't get too gay again,
for, while 1 believe that Brother
Brown is through with his rhymes,
I fear that you made a mistake in
sending those clippings to the old
Landmark Baptist. They may
! criticise, scrutinize and harmonize
j them and make something out of
j them yet.. But. if they do 1 will
j stand to your back.
E'er 1 close I want to give you
a few timely hints before-hand, so
you will not get mixed up in the
muss. Now 1 don’t want you to
make a blowing horn of what I am ■

Mar Saba, on the Dead sea. Not
many vears ago there were actual
1 v 10.00(1 monks living in this grim
and mournful retreat, andeven to
day there are mote than 1.000 left.
The monastery is one of 1 he oldest
in the world, having been founded
some l.dOO years ago by Kuthy

lives in everlasting penance. No
woman is permitted to come with

Traded Their Votes.
According to a traveling man
whose route lies through the mid
die west, the trading of their
votes by traveling men was larger
titan ever this year. Naturally
many of the men whose business
com pels them to be on t lit* road the
greater part of the time figure on
being away from home on election
lay. Many of them, indeed, never
register. It is customary for them
to pair with fellow members of the
fraternity of opposite political
faith, so that neither vote shall be
ost.—Chicago Inter Ocean.

BEAUTIES OF HOLY LAND.
Tlie Sun Is the Magician That Turns
the Dull Earth to a Picture
of Splendor.
In the Sunday Magazine, of Lon
don, Archdeacon Sinclair, who
was there recently, gives a glow
ing description of Palestine.
“I was struck.” he says, “by its
special and wonderful beauty. The
sun is the magician of the Holy
Land, painting its plains and hills
with tin* loveliest hues and light
in ' up all with magnificent splen
dor at sunrise and sunset. The
country is far more mountainous
than I had realized.
“Then, again, there was great
beauty in the fountains and
streams, pure and clear, from a
limestone country, and sometimes
flowing with great freedom.
“Perhaps the crowning feature
of beauty in the north of Palestine
are the glorious snow-clad slopes
of Mount Hermon, which can be
seen from the top of every pass
among the hills, glittering and
gleaming in the pure blue vault.'
The flowers particularly struck
I)r. Sinclair, who finds it impossi
ble to do justice to their beaut}
and brilliancy.
