"Thun Baith tlic Lnird. 8tnud yo In tho ways, and sue, and iwk for thc old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye abull lind re -t (or your Boula.11 [Jeremiah, vi:10. The Prophet Jeremiah lived li. C. G50-580, and prophesied during the reigns of Josiah, Jehoiakim, Jehoiachiu and Zedekiah. He lived in au age of ?;reut national and spiritual decliue, and lin prophecies are either (1) exhortations to repenteoco, (2) warnings and threat enings against thc impenitent and incor rigible, or (3) lamentations over the ruin and devolution of Judea, that followed the burning of Jerusalem and the cap tivity of the Jews under Nobuchadnezzer, King of Babylon. Ho lived among a people whose moral natures had been blunted and calloueed by wara and idol atries, and who loved the ways of tin in which they had been born and reared. Ilia prophecios-calling to reform and revival to former piety and uprightness-grated on the ear of both kings and people. He never delivered a single message that was ; acceptable to his countrymen. Ho never preached a bcrmon that did not render hiiii moro uupopular. He endured re proach aud persecution. He was the victim of murderous conspiracy, and was more tbau once doomed lo death, but escaped at ibo last extremity by tho in terposition of friends. He describes him self aa one in w/wie- bonce the message of Ood burnt like fire, and had to be delivered. And yet when delivered they but stirred tho rage of au emasculated people, who, rather than mend their lives, preferred to kill the niau of God, who faithfully told them of their sins. The word? of my text seem to bo a ?pedal message from the God of Israel to his wandering, lost, bewildered people. "Thus saith thc Lord, Staud ye in the ways, and see, and oak for the old paths, where it the good way, and walk therein, aud yo shall Hud rest for your souls." (1) The words "stand yo in the ways und see" meau ; como to a halt in your journey, and consider if yo be in the right road. "Staud and see," look at your guide-book, examine the way-marks, and you will discover that you are out of the highway and baye wandered in some by-path. (2) I laving slopped to consider-as the mariner would say, to get your bearings -you will surely discover that you have gone wrong. What then? "Ask for the old paths." Enquir* for thc true high Find it 55 speedily nu powibie. (3) And having found it, without further delay, "walk therein." Heat a retreat, set yourselvos right, then "for ward" nil along tho line. "Walk there in"-show the same eagerness to go right that you did to go wrong. (4) What will bu tho result of thic chango of conduct? "Yo shall find rest ?br your souls." I know that tho language is highly figurative u.?<-\ the imagery poetic, but I think I havo given you the truo exposi tion. In pluin lauguage, God exhorted his peoplo to examine their position to wards Him-to make inventory of their past lives, to bunt up their Bibles and bring their lives into submission to ita teachings, to go back to first principles in religion, und they would bc a happier und a bettor peoplo. And as prophecy was not given for one people or age ox cluaively, but fur all time and ali man, wo may with all propriety appropriate ibis exhortation to ourselves and our lime. I think tho text is a call to mai al re sumption, addressed to men in 1879 A. C. as properly as 625 B. C. History re pente itself, sin and iniquity repeat them selves, and in thia nineteenth century we find suspension of morals just as did Jeremiah twenty-five hundred years ago. After an interval of sixteen years, we have jua bad a return to ?pecio payments in tho United States. Opinions differ as to the advisability of this measure at this timo. I do not know ; but I do kuow that moral forces that have been held in suspension for many years ought to be re sumed. In truth, they ought never to hnve been suspended : and, as they were suspended, they ought to have been re sumed long ngo, but as they have not buen fully resumed, the work tshould bo done at once. I. Some, perhaps will say tbero hus been no moral suspension. May bs not, but my observation is that the moral forces in operation among us before thc war have never been fully resumed. Wo are wont to look at thc results of the war aa physical, social and political. (l) It is easy for us to call up thc san guinary fields and review the thuusauds of slain and wounded. We daily look upon the armless sleeve, the woodou leg, the scarred face, the mutilated band, and remember that tboso men now growing gray, and bearing about them the marks of battle, were once the living wall brist ling with bayonets "along the Potomac." A nq so we contemplate the physical evils ol' the war. (2^ We look upon tho impoverished condition of the ?ld people of our land, who once lived in easy affluence. Wo have Been the whole social fabric thrown up and broken by a mighty upheaval. We have seen aotne thousands of mil lions of dollars of property wasted. We conn* the widows and orphans, and be hold children descended from tho first families in the land grown up in igno rance and vice, whose patrimony, swept away by the war, aro left no means of education. And wo aro familiar with the social evils of the war. (8) Thc obl iges wrought in tbepoHti ...,t iitik.M ?>r? flin rn m.II L... I fliin ? lin ,i' of the social or physical. Several mil lions of people-ignorant, semi-barba rous, o'* low order of intellect-have been raised to position and power, v. holly in compatible with their safety or the safety of their rulers. Not capable of appre ciating liberty, they have turned it into licentiousness. Invoking the torch ned axe, they have dotted our land with burnt homesteads and smouldering ruins. Tho busts of Habersbain and Berriau und Walton nnd'Hnll have looked down fi nm iuoir uicu6s, in lin* Georgia otate limine, upon the wretched farces enacted by miserable abortions, white and black, who claimed to be their successors; and tho bones of McDuffie and Hayne and Calhoun and Butler have rattled in their cullins, while Elliott and Smalls and Cain and Pattcrion have desecrated their seats in tho National Congress. Men have br en taxed to the point of starvation that ni.moy might be wasted In tho most me lros nod senseless extravagance, aa inves tigating committees have shown in many Pouthcru States, Tba bonded debt of the Stat va hus so opprcsticd the Citizens that in nome in-danees', growing despe rate, tliey have gravely deliberated on repudiation. I need not enlarge. It- ls easy for ns to ace the political orils re sulting from the wai. The destinies of ltho American nation have been changed'forever. Never wUl tho fabric of our nation be what it once was, nor will it OTcr'AlUln to that which lt would have altainea, had there been no Tho wholo w\\on, North, 8outh Eoat and West, baa been wrenched from ita artie bellum status, and baa grown into new shape aud proportion-in many re spects disproportion. Tbeso thiuga be ing visible nod palpable engross our at tention. Wo feel and seo and know aud regret them. The moral evils, greater than all others, aro not seen ao readily nor ac knowledged so willingly. What we seo of this world is but au infinitesimal part of tho whole. What wo see of tho results of tho war aro small matters compared with that which wo do not seo on tho surface. What you can see of the world aa you stand on some high hill may bo subtracted from tho whole without appre ciable loss. And what you soe on the surface as the evils of a great national upheaval, you may substract from the sum-total of evils without being missed, lt is absolutely impossible for all the mojal evils of a great civil war to be ag gregated. Tho war left none of us as it lound UH. Not a mau, woman or child who was not moro or less injured. Even the children boru since thc bloody cou < ..ct, have beeu brought up on both sides by those who, either in feeling or in fact, or both, engaged iu it, aud the sectional prejudice and hates of parents have been instilled into their children, and 'he dreadful enmity aud strife of 18?0 '6G5 is tho inheritance of the children. Thia ia not all. I go further. Children of war are morally unequal to children of peaco, We beget sons and daughters in our own image, and transmit to thom the miseries and sins aud peculiar environ ments of ourselves. I leave thia for you to reflect upon. What have beeu tho results of the war upon individual character J At tile be ginning of tho cooudict our circulating medium .vas at par, i. e., a paper dollar would o / a gold dollar. During the war, gold ran up to 285, and greenbacks down to 35. Now, if the moral and re ligious status of the iudividual waa pur at the beginning of the war, then have not most of us fallen lower than 35 ? aud have not ante bellum morals and religion been higher than 285? This moral de {ircciation is not confined to any particu ar section of tho United States. In the South tho war resulted iu poverty and misrule at d nrejudice aud "Ku Klux" so cieties. 1 i the North men were finan cially onr J.ed, but misrule aud demoral isation v rc perhaps just us great. We have not o? gotten "Black Friday," when the "Bulla id Bears" ou Wall street, with Jay Gould, Fisk and Speyer, caused a fearful eruption iu financial circles. Wo havo not forgotten "Credit Mobilier," "Tweed Binga" aud other gigantic reve nue frauds, which were inderi on the moral dial-plate. Hut recently a "Iviiii road Strike threatened to make the great arteries of commerce useless, when Uni ted States troops were called out to put down armed resistance, and many States were in danger of civil war. 1 refer to the "strike" on tho Baltimore aud Ohio Railroad and connecting lines. The fre quent robbing of express cars, thc "Coal Strikes," "Oil Strikes," "Molly Ma guires" and other war-like combinations, all go to show the low state of morality in our land. How often have wo Been paragraphs in our newspapers headed "Conscience Moucy," in which waa re corded the fact that some one who had been glutting himself ut the public treas ury bad disgorged. Bed hot iron applied to tho cuticle destroys it ; iron picked up cold and frozen docs the samo thing. lt is likely that tho conquered States are better olF to-day than those who waged the war for the preservation of the Union. With all their wealth and power at the North, there are greater dangers menacing the social and political fabric thnn are found among us. While guaut poverty aud petty theft disturb the South, our Northern brethren aro besieged by armies of "tramps" and "Communistic Leagues," and it is gravely charged ibat while the friends of the present Chief Magistrate ?tole tho Presidency for him, \ his opponent and his Democratic friends j tried to steal it for themselves. / do not say these things are so, the fact that tho public gazettes make the charges arc aig ni?caut. Nor is this moral deterioration pe culiar to our late war. lt is the con sequence following all wara. France and Prussia were lately arrayed agaiust each othor on the ensanguined field, aud both the victor and the vanquished are now reapiug tho fearful results of tho suspension of moral law. War is abnor mal, spasmodic, unnatural, aud it always leaves it blighting effects on the people engaged. 1 need not say that aa regards tbeso European powers, Prussia is to-day in a worse conditiou morally than France. "Socialism" bas assumed such proportions in Germany that Bismarck and the Keiscr, and tue whole ruling power, are seriously alarmed, lest a gen eral uprising and revolution ahall occur at auy time. All wara, from that of worda and Liows among children, to thoso that shako tho continents, leave their deleterious eile eta ou tboso engaged. Thc earliest war of which wo have any account occurred between Cain and Abel, and the victor wan worsted. Tho re boud injured his moral natttro and left him an impurer man than he was before, The reflex influences of war on each party engaged injure? each party fal worso than tho assaults of tue othor From 18G0-18G5 the North and South imagined they wore destroying each other. The. truth is each party was de stroying itself. I am told that this pic ture is overdrawn. Not at all. It ii impossible to draw it aa dark and forbid' ding as it ought to bc, for no painter cat mix all the evils and mtaer:^ and tran grcssions in hin preparation of colors. ] am asked why this declino is not ob served by every one? I answer, noni hut tho older port of our population cai eec tho change, and_ among them man] do not Mioj? m think. The/ aie inien on business or pleasure ; tho chain o daily duties drag them on aud they d< not consider. Jt it amazing how fei people do any thinking at all. Other among our older people do per?oive tin sad changes in morals, but aro not* will ing to say anything about it, and do no admit it. Among the young men an? women this deterioration is not known because they were born and bred in it and know of no other state of morale Voting people under thirty years of a? have never) with maturo vision, seen au; other state of social and political am moral life, and therefore suppose th present state to bo normal. '1 ho caril revolves with appalling speed, but wed not perceive it unless wc mako astronom ical observations. If we will fix our eye on the sun we will eeo that our cart does not ?tau 1 still. So if wo will fi our oyes on God and His immmutabl justice aud righteousness, we will see t . what our deflections from virtue aud hoi caty and purity and charity and love art But if we are all absorbed in "what sba wc eat and what bb all wo drink an wherewithal shall wo bo clothed," an aro all on a moral inclination, and at "sliding down hill," it is quito likely th: we won't notice it much. How often >ts your clock on tl mantle sirike? ^ou are sitting under but, absorbed with tho needle or tl newnptper, you do nut ?i?w?? it. He , often has God spoken, and yet thc natlc I hid not heard. Lot us suppose that Ck had sent Gabriel down to inspect and re { view our country, socially, politically nnd morally, in 1855. Suppose the j Augel to have been sent back on tho same mission iu 1875. What changes : for the worse would Gabriel have report ed back to Heaven ? Would not the depreciation bo greater lhau thirty-five 1 cents to tho dollar? Now things are lookod upon with indifference that twen ty years ago would bavo filled the coun try with horror. Crimes aro committed with impunity now that a quarter of a century ago would not have been so much as named. Men are caressed and hon ored now who would br ve been spurned by the meanest. Public sentiment has slidden down hill, and wo all help to make up public sentiment. "In social life, there was once HUHI a thing an a loss of caste." Js it so now? "It seems that nobody baa any caste ; or tboro is no way of losing it." A charity not taken from tho Bible will condone any thing in those whom it is policy to sus tain. Benedict Arnold betrayed an American army to tho British during the Revolutionary War. When tho war was over ho made England his homo, nnd on one occasion presumed to mako his ap pearance at Court, and sought tho notice of the sovereign. Ho was scorned and hissed away as a traitor. But thc federal oiiicer who held the post of New Orleans during our late war, and enriched him self and friends o?r the private plate of the unfortunate citizens, has been petted and houored by his own Commonwealth and the National Assembly. Demorali zation among tho American people is universal. Of course there is a great dual of good left among us, but it is not of thut high grade that wo bad beloro the war. The churches come in for their quota of thia evil. How han thc fino gold be come dim, when pastor's salaries, mission money und church-building funds can only be raised by "fairs," "grab-bags," "lotteries" and "railles." An eminent divine was called to tho pastorate of a church in one of our leading Cities in tho South after tho war. The City had suf fered much from its having been occupied by the armies. The Doctor found the c lurch-buiiding sadly out of repair. In legitimate ways ho tried to raise funds to put tho house in good repair. Failing ail round, he assembled tho young mcu of bis cc agr?gation and submitted the question to them. They heard him with interest, and replied: "Doctor, if you will let us get up a horse-race for thc benefit of the Church, wo will raiso you as much money as you want." These were not exceptionally immoral young men. Recently a Church was turned iuto a "shooting gallery/' and tho young people of both sexes had a "big shooting match to raise money for Church pur poses." A very expensive church-build ing was but last year erected in ono ol our must enlightened and religious States. The space between the upper and lower floors was padded with saw-dust. The pastor, explaining tho matter to a visitor, said: "Wo may want to occupy both rooms at the same time, so wo put in thie stuffing to deaden the sound. The young people have dancing parties-for the ben efit of tho Church, and sometimes these parties fall on the evening when the ole folks are holding prayer meeting dowi stairs. Wo have it so arranged that om won't interfere with the other" Evet the New York Tribune takes the fashion nblo churches and pastors to task sharply for their extravagancies in theatrical mid sensationalism, nud soberly exhort them to return to the legitimate busine* of their callings, and preach the Gospc to their congregations. While Bpoakinj of demoralization among churches, can dor compels me to say that many embez zle ?nts and defalcations have occurrei among ministers aud missiou-agonts, am some of the saddest chapters in mora suspension aro those that record tho au graceful conduct of ministers of th Gospel. lt all goes to show that there is a mon auspeusiou, and that old-?a^hi?udu hoi caty is below par. II. But 7noral resumption is what we nett How is it to be obtained? Let ministers and all Christians-yei all men everywhere-take their reckot ings again. Let them climb up inl Mount Zion for their observatory, an fix their moral telescopo on thu Sun < Righteousness and ace how far in tl eccentric they are wandering, and by tl centrifugal force of Divino Graco li them return to their proper orbits. 1. Let churches "ask for the old paths let them return to tho former ways-tl Scriptural ways of raising funds for God cause. Let them no longer make God Temple a gathering placo for fairs ar lectures and entertainments. Let the leave raiding and grab-bags and sbootii matches and balls to tho world who; they have always belonged. Ono of tl grandest teachings of Christianity cross-bearing-the making of sacrifia Said Paul : "I beseech you, therefor brethren, by the mercies of God, that ; Eresent your bodies a living sacrifie oly and acceptable, uuto God, which your reasonable service. Aud be n conformed to this world." A sacrifice something unpleasant, done for Cbri and his cause, but when you advertise give fifty cents worth of oysters ai coffee for fifty cents, where is the idea sacrifice ? "Present your bodies a livii sacrifice," said Paul. I submit tho que ! lion, Are balls and rollies and entert ai I tnents, in the name of Christ, calcul?t to remind ono of cross-bearing and cr ciiixion of tho flesh? Tho idea of sac fice is being rapidly eliminated from o minds in our present modes of raisi church funds. I think tho Lord's way raising money for his cause is to give, a gi?, what you wish to bestow, and do unto the Lr.rd. Churches should exi C1?D i?J??O ti -?'v UlSvlpS?Me. ??viv i been A sensible decline, in its cxerc sinco the war. Abuses crept inte t churches then, and in many cases hs never been ferreted out. I know of I one denomination of Christians who br had tho nerve to enforco discinll against defrauders. I refer to the l'ri itivo Baptists, commonly known "Hard Sholls." They have invarial excluded such of their members as hi availed themselves of homestead s bankrupt laws to evade tho payment j their ju?t debts. Perhaps they hi mndc thc rules unnecessarily severe, i if they hive swung to one extreme, m other churches have swung to the otl and of the two, the former ls to be j ferrcd. 2. Wc need social reforms. Lot lines bo sharply drawn; let society ita veto on crimes and bad men. TL ere crimes and callings and conditl that should exclude men and wor from polite, refined, genteel society, long as men and women may follow calling, do any thing and be any tb however immoral and dishonest, and have free access to the best socinty, tl is little hope of reform. But let ace elevate its standards and purify canoes. Let it be known that tl standards and canons cannot bo bro with impunity, and then will we see men ana women, unwilling to bo a< cificd, will mend their ways, and the S? fabric will bo improved. I maintain J society has rights-righto that authi it to make laws for tho government of ita members. Ono of tho great factors in the moral deterioration of tho American people baa been tho breaking down and overriding of the law? that govern cociety. I advocate an aristocracy in society and in State. Not an aristocracy of wealth nor blood, but au aristocracy of moral jrorlh. I take the word, not in its per versions mid abuses, but in its original rionao. It meaua a government where tho best, most moral and pure bear rule. Should not tho purest, most cultured, most genteel in society make laws for tho government of the body? Should not tho most moral, most intelligent and most capable rulo tho Commonwealth ? The evils of the destruction of casto are far reaching. Our children aro brought up to think ono calling nr condition aa hon orable aa another. We allow them to associate with all people promiscuously. The moral sense in them, i. e., ibo chil dren, becomes blunted while it is imma ture, and they will moro naturally glide into vico and sin since wc, by actions, at least, tell them that one way of making money is as honorable and respectable tt another. "Evil communications corrupt good manner."." He who associates with tho unchaste will himself, moro than likely, become unchaste too. Ho whe associates with thieves will have all thc germs of dishonesty within him put into hot-bed and rapidly developed. Ile whe "puts the bottlo to bis neighbor's mouth," for n living, will almost surely learn tc nut that same bottlo to bia owu mouth Wc may palliate sin and gloto indecency till we cease to condemn them in our own hearts. You may allow profanity and blasphemy to go unrebuked, till you forget that it is as heinous in God's sighl as dishonesty and adultery ; but one ii just ns bad as the other. Lotus uot con done offenses in any ono, anywhere neither in society or Church or State. I we do, the moral recoil will be sad foi us, and God will visit tho iniquity o these things on our children. Well dit the poet aay : "Vice tt a uionstiT of such hidcoim molo, Thal to bc tiate<!, nords t<ut to tn- gn u , Hut seen too ult, familiar willi Ilia fecu. We lir.-.t rmi,irc, theo iiily, then embrace.'' Woo with the day when society o Church fold to their bosom tho vilo, thi aiuful, tho reprobate. 3. Reforms are also domanded in com mon honesty. Tho war, among tho mam evils that it generated and developed {iroduccd the monsters, laziness and dis louosty. For years men "drew rations' and clothing, working ono day in fifteen They learned to hvo without work Many of them nro trying to do tho sam thing yet. They say : "The world owe nm ii living. And / intend tn him?, if. When I hear a mnn talk that way, am livo on in idleness. I instinctively feel V seo if my pocket-book is safe. Th world owes no ono a living. The God c Nature baa blessed mon with strengt and intellect, and has ordained that ic dustry aud economy shall not fail of thei reward ; but a healthy, strong beggar i this land ia au unmitigated nuisunct To-day labor ranks higher than cotton c corn or sugar or bacon or clothing. Ire migration societies aro encouraging labe to come among us. Any mau who wi can lease land and make himself a farn These things being so, laziness ia a erinn and ought to be punished. Tho armit of tramps that infest tho land are bi ulcers on the surface of our demoralize body politic. While tho feeble, tl widow?, the orphans and the kelpie are to be assisted, I do insist that it ia sin to assist those who can work ai wont. There ia no charity to God i man in giving a bushel of corn to a mt who is able to work for it and yet ia u willing to do il. l'aul said : "If ai would not work, neither should be eat ?-(2 Thea. 3:10.) That doctrine aoun healthy to me. It should bo put in practieo rigidly. Laziness lives ne neighbor to theft, for he who must e and won't work, and has no money buy with, must bo sorely tempted, break the eighth commundme l. T Prodigal Son deserves a highe. respt than people are wont to give him.

In tho last place, there ls neet reform in political aud governmei circles. Tho words statesman aud p nenin Uligal io uv uiudo by nun ^ un Wo ought to elovato our purest i ablest men to office. It is a ead ? mentary on our government and pee tbat the men wno will stoon to np money and encourage intemperance control more votes than tho high-toi sober, capable man. "A?k yo for old path?, where is the good way, walk therein." It was Henry Clay 1 said, "I would rather be right than T ident." And when our own Calli was urged to rtcedo from bia position tho tari fi'question, with the promise if he would abandon bis position tb on be could bo elected President, Elicd: "I would not sacrifice princip e mado President of tho world." may havo just such rulers as wo w from President down to Trial Jua When tho freo people of these Uc Slates determino to be governed onlj men good and true; -.viicu they dc that purity and integrity are worth i than whiskey or money ; when men, seek office only for ino cohesivo at tion of the loaves aud fishes, are ole to stay at home, then will we havo n resumption in political life. Here I to raise my voice against a sentit that I often hear among Christi "When a Church-member goes into tics, his usefulness as a Christian is i end." It does not follow as a necei consequence. True, ? he has great t 1tarons and trials of his faith, nut I ] higher estimate upon tho saving gra Christ than to admit that it is uot dent to keep a man pure in Legislative or Congressional Halls or Gubernatorial chairs. The question is this: Is il right to have Governors ami General Assem blies? Voa? Then is it not right to put the best men to fill these responsible positions? Ought wc not to pray foreur rulers ami law-makers more? Ought wo not oftener to commend them for their good acts? Are uot the people respon sible for bad rulers and bad law-makers? Who but tho people put bad men in j power? Tor my pact, I thank God when I a Christian mau in put in office. I thank Him for Alford H. Colnuit, of Georgia, tho present Governor, who isa consistent ; member of the M. E. Church, and a lay preacher. I thank Him for John H. I Gordon, United States Senator from Georgia, who in a consistent Presbyte rian, whom 1 have seen kneel down under a "brush arbor," in tho dirt, and pray God to be present and bless thc numble words of bun who nddrcsHos you now. I thank God for Wade Hampton I and Judgo ll. C. Presley, and all the i Christian gentlemen everywhere who ari serving the meek and lowly Saviour, on tho Deneb, in the Stato and National Councils, in every office whatsoever. Christianity ;is a poor religion if it bas uot power to leaven the mass of political corruption and jobbery that calls so loud ly for redress. Politics and religion aro not to bo sep arated, nor is religion to be a part in tho back-ground ; but religion is io permeate the whole and elevate it and purify il. Tho New Testament does not separate reli gion and piety. When Jesus stoud on thc crest of Olivet and looked down ou Jerusalem, his own city, tho pride and joy of every Israelite's heart, it was as well the voice of patriotism aa of religion that cried out, "O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, that killest tho prophets, and stonest them that are sont unto theo, bow often would I have gathered thy children to gether, even as a bou gatheroth ber chickens under ber wings, and yo would not."-(Math, XXIII :37.) No purer patriot ever lived than Jesus of Naza reth, and no more patriotic words ever burst from tho lips of man than these. As a man, as nu israelite, Jesus loved his own countrymen more than any other nation. As u patriot. Paul stands out OH a pre-eminent example. In that sublime expression of Paul, in Rom. ix:2,3, made in behalf of Israel, his fellow-man, his beloved nation, wo find a deep undertone of patriotism trembling on tho lips of him who was tho chief Apostle of tho Gentiles: "I have great heaviness and continual Borrow in my henrt. For I could wish that myself wero accursed from Christ/or my brethren, my kinsmen according to thc Jlesh : who are Israelites." In all reverence I say it : Jesus of Naza reth and Saul of Tarsus had a patriotic love and devotion to their own fellow citizens and their own nation, that they had toward no other people. We aro to distinguish between Christ tho God, and Jesus tho man ; between Paul the Apos tle, and Paul tho Jewish citizen ; and no violence is done to Scripture nor the sacredness of their o?ficu in thus distin guishing. Spenking reverently, I do be lie ve that if our Lord and Paul were on the earth now. as American citizens, that they would both go regularly to the polls, and deposit their bal lots on the sido of truth and purity. And yot 1 have heard Christiaus and Ministers say, "I aimil never east another vote ; I see no use ; 1 shall givo it all up to the demagogues." Well, that is the way to have bud laws and bad rulers. Let tho better part of thc people lose all interest in tho matter, and relegate it to immoral and irresponsible and ignorant men, and moral susponsion will continue. For ouo, I feel that I owe it to my coun try and my God to oxerciso my franchise at every election, and cast my ballot for the purest and most capable mun before the people. I feel it ihy duty to encour uge Christian gontlomen to accopt offices, and then pray for them, thut they may let their liulit ?hine for Christ among their ungodly associates. If I wuro a strauger here, I should bo favorably im pressed when told that our members of tho Generul Assembly from Anderson County wer? ull intelligent, sober men ; and some of them Christians. Let us resume our ante bellum status in every moral respect. Let us go buck whence wc came. Let us denounce overy evil that wo would have deuounced he furs the war. Let us raise all our stand ards to where they were. Let the tnorAl register in society, in honesty, in indus try, in Church and in politics atuud where it did when Franklin Picrco was President. Let each one examine his own heart und life, and see whero the wur hurt him, und go to work to repair tho injury. Take it for grauted that you nre ono of the wounded, und go to work, and ask God to help you to heal the wound. "Subdue resentments, crush out prejudices, down with animosities, lop off evil habits, throw away vour sus picion and jealousies." Moral wounds may bo removed by promoting general spiritual health. Hie best lever to lift tue ship from the sand-bar is Christ Jesus the Lord. The best safeguard to a na tion's liberties is an op?il i?ib?c, a puro press, and a pulpit devoted to proclaim ing tho Gospel. Tho best htnlage that ?ou can bequeath your children is intel igance, honesty and the fear of God.

Tito Now York Examiner and Chroni cle, tho orpin of the Northern Baptist Church, in itu issue of January tho 3'i, criticised the uso of Calhoun's work ou Qovoriituent as a text book iu tho de partments of history and political science in tho University of Georgia. Pro lessor Browne, of the chair of history and political science, replied to tho Northern critic, in a masterly and crushing re joinder, in justification of the uso of tho text books complained of. The Exami ner and Chronicle, as we aro informed by tho Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel, satis fied itself by publishing tho "(/realerpart" of tho reply under tho heading, "Cnl bounism in a Georgia College-A Letter Defending lt," which tho Northern edi tor kindly attached to Professor Browne's communication, interjecting at tho samo time several beadings into tho body of tho professor's letter, which ho did not seo ut to make for himself. The Chroni cle and Sentinel, in Saturday's issue, gives us the whole reply of tho ablo professor, tho material part of which we publish below, and tho perusal of which will richly repay our readers. UNIVERSITY OFGEOROIA, DEPARTMENT OP HISTORY AND POLITICAL SCIENCE, ATHENS, GA., January 9, 1879. Editor of the Examiner and Chronicle: * . * . . * . To tho first of these toxt-books you say, "prepared by a Southerner, who cortaiu ly does accept tho situation," you mako no serious objection ; but you sincerely regret that Mr. Calhoun, wlioso political heresies were tho very tap-root of tho re cent civil war, still furnishes tho only text book from which the students of tho University of Georgia .aro instructed res Cjeting their duties ns citizens of thc nlted States. The political heresy which you chargo mc with teaching consists in my instruct ing tho students as you suppose, "to re gard a 'nation,' which bas abundantly vindicated its nationality, as a mere fed deration of sovereign mid substantially independent 'Suites.'" 1 bono 1 have stated fairly your chargo and specifica tions. I admit that thc text book you have named are those which I uso iu the Uni versity of Georgia, nnd tho only text books that I use which bear ou American affairs. But if you make no serious ob jection to the use of those of which Hon. Aloxander H. Stephens is tho nuthor, you cauuot justly tako exception to tho usc of Mr. Calhoun's work, becauso Mr. Cal houn has never, by pun or word, inure j emphatically asserted tho doctrino that the union of the States is a federation of sovereign and independent States, and not a nation in thc senso of a consolidat ed republic, than does Mr. Slcphcus in his "Constitutional View of tho War Be ? tweon the States." If tho doctrine of the great statesman of South Carolina as to th? nature of tho Union is political here sy, tho great statesman of Georgia is equally guilty, for tho views of both on thc subject aro precisely identical. I admit, further, that I do teach the students that thc union of thc States t's a federation of sovereign and independent States, and not a consolidated republic. But is this "political heresy?" I do not teach thoso solely becauso Mr. Calhoun or Mr. Stephens asserted it, though I have tho highest possible respect for their opinions, nor do I teach it because it is tho view maintained by any political party. I believe I do not allow party pol itics or my individual party affiliations to afiect lu tho least my teachings of what I belie ve to bo historical truth. Did I believe, r~ fuliy nnd os conscien tiously as I suppose you do, that the fathers of tho republic made a mistake in their choico of a form of government -that it would have been much better hadan bo States benn fused into ono, and bad a national government boon es tablished-with the facts of history be foro mc, I do not seo bow I can teach otherwise than that a purely Federal government was established-a gov ernment for States and by States. Whatever may be my individual opinion as to the guilt of Charles I, whether I do or do not believe that bo ought to bavo been put to death, I cannot teach otu- ' dents that ho waa guilty of treason, na that ci line waa theil defined iu the statute book of England. Nor, whatever I may think of tho political treachery of Strat ford, can I teach that means employed to convict and condemn bim vere legally o;' morally justifiable. I may bo tho firmest boliovor in tho wisdom, justico and good policy of tho alien and sedition acts, tmt I cannot teach that thcro wero not flagrant violations of tho letter and spirit of tho Constitution of tho United States. You quote tbrco questions lrom my examination >tper which you say, aro "especially suggestive" and "redolent of Calnouuism." Tho first ia: "3- Show, by a consecutivo statement of historical facts, that tho thirteen States, from tho beginning of their dispute with Great Britain to tho ratification of the constitution of 1787, always acted aa aep erato and distinct political communities, and never as one nation." Allow mo to cite a fow of thc historical facta which I asked ibo students to state, and let us ace whether or not they show what tho question demands. I bold it to be au historical fuct that from their original settlement to tho declara tion of independence tho thirteen colo niea wore separate and distinct, severally governed by laws of their own making ; and, beyond the tien of good neighbor hood, having nothing in common except that their inhabitants wore subjects ol' tho British aovereign. Tho Congress ol the colonies which met in 1774 T?."."-, as the opening li^es of its journal show, composed of "a num ber of delegates" chosen an J appointed by tho "aeverul colonies and provinces of North America, to meet and hold a Con ?ress." Tho very first thing which these ci?gales did after tboy organized, was to declare that they were a Congress of rep?rate and distinct political bodies, and that, in all their deliberations, each colony should bavo ono vote. In the credentials of tho delegates I do not find even tho shadow of a hint that any dole gato ^presentad anything hut bia own coLr>.,, that any dolegate claimed to re present any other peoplo than tho people of that particular colony from whom he derived his commission. Tho second continental Congress which met in Philadelphia in ?775, Uko the first, was organized as a Congress of separate and distinct political bodies, aud iu it also each colony had one vote, every attempt to changer this rule having been uniformly defeated. . Tho declar ation of independence by this Congress, which Judge Story admits was "an act of paratric-int and sovereign authority," "an act of original, inherent sovereignly" was m ado-as we learn from the most authentic record extant, namely, that communicated by Mr. Jefferson to Hr. Madison, and published in the Madison papers, vol 1, p. 9-by tho delegates of ? tho several colonies in obedience to in > stractions from their respective consti tuents, "os no colony could bo bound but by its owe consent.'' Final action on tho declaration waa delayed until four of tho Staten-litllo Dolavraro was one of them-had severally empowered their delegates to assent to it. The title of the declaration of independence is? "the unanimous declaration of tho thirteen United States of America." Tho de claration says that "these colonies aro and of right ought to bo freo and inde pendent States." Washington's commission as Comman der-in-chief of tho coutineutal armies was mada out in the name of all tho col onies, each colony being expressly nam ed Tho officers of tho army swore that they acknowledged "the thirteen United States of America-namely, New Hamp shire, Massachusetts, etc., etc., (all being named) to bo free, independent and sov ereign States." In the treaty of peace with Great Britain, in 1783, "Ilia Botan ic Majesty acknowledges tho indepen dence of the enid United States, viz : Now Hampshire, Massachusetts, etc., etc., (naming every one of tho thirteen,) to bo freo, sovereign and independent 8tatcs." Tho articles of confederation, the firr?t written constitution of the Uni ted States, woro submitted "to tho re spectivo colonies for their consid?ration and ratification," and wero not of legal forco until nil the colonies bad ratified them. Tho allegiance of thc citizen was duo to the laws of the colony of which he was a member. (Resolutions of Con gress, Juno 24,177G.) Under tho confed eration, each State punished treason, counterfeiting and the like. The per mission of each State wan asked and ob tained before Congress could raiso troops within ita limits. Each Stato bad ex clusivo power to levy and collect taxes and regulato commerce. Congress had no such authority. During tho seven years of its existence the continental Congress never claimed to exercise any inherent powers. It nev er prctonded to compel a dissentient colony to conform to its will, oven though nil the others bad severally given their consent. It never enacted a law. Il merely cxprcssd opinions, passed resolu tions, mndo recommendations and re quests. Thc very first declaration of the articles of confederation, after setting forth tho stylo of tho confederacy, wot that "each State retains its own sover eignty, freedom and independence, and overy power, jurisdiction and right nol cy tho confederation expressly delegated to tho Uuited States in Congress assem bled." The constitution of 1787 was framed bj delegates commissioned by tbo severa States "for tho solo and express purpose of revising the articles of confederation.' In all the discussions the veto was taker by Mates, each Stato having ono voto and the proposed constitution AV as sub milted tq the several States, and ratified by conventions of tho people of tho sev eral States called for that purpose. Ir the chumo pro vidi n . .or the couBtitutior going into effect \ bun niuo States shel! have ratified it, it was declared that i should only go into effect "between thi StateB HO ratifying the same." Are not these historical facts, and di they not show that the thirteen State from the beginning of their dispute witl Grent Britain "always acted as separat and distinct political communities, am never ns ono notion or consolidated rc public?" AB I read and undorstani them, th ay show this and this only ; nu I cannot teach othcrwiso. You cannc say that it is political heresy to teach th truth. If I have misstated, perverted c suppressed any historical fact, I wis you would prove that I have dono BO. have not intended to do it. Tho second question to which you tai exception an redolent of Calhounism os follows : 1 "6. Dem?nstralo from the provisioi of tho constitution and the amendment \ und from the history of its adoption, tl Federal character of the government Tho equal representation of tho Stat in tho Federal Senate, by which a m jority of States baa the absoluto power veto any measure adopted by th? Hon of Representatives ; tho impossibility deprive nny State, without its consent, this equality in the Senate, and tho la guage of the tenth amended articlo wi reference to the reversed powers of t! States, demonstrate, I think, tho Fcdei character of tho government. IB it n thc prominent idea of tho constitute from beginning to end, that it is a coi pact between States just as much as t articles of confederation were? Dc not the history of its adoption provo t same thing? I need only rofer to t striking out of tho word "nationi wherever it occurred in Governor Ri dolph's plan, and the substitution of t words "Government of tho Uni! States," to provo that thc framers of I const'ait ion believed that they wero c rying out their intention to frame a Fi oral, and not a national, governmc Surclv nobody can read tho history tho "Great Coinpromiae" in tho cony lion nnd como to any other conclus as to the intent of a majority of the St: represented in that body. The third question lo which you ject ; : "8. Show bow tho fact that tho con Union was submitted to tho Lcgialati of tho soverul States, that tho Legi tures might provide for its subrniiwioc conventions of tho people of the sev States, proves that absolute sovereig was thereby recognized aa residing v tho people of each State respect!v and not will* *he people of all tho St as one mass." It certainly cannot be denied that constitution waa submitted to the 6 Legislatures, that the Legislatures m: pr?vido for its submission to special < ventions of the several States, and th; was so ratified by these convent!' Was not this act of rat i licit ion a co eign act in the fullest 8cn60 of tho wc .t.- -i-I........ WOUiU viiv, IMtiOMMAtpftyAi ? - - M-M single State that might have refuse ratify it? Waa it binding on Rh Island and North Carolina during period of their hesitation to ratify? not thcee facto, referring emphaticall; separate State action, exclude the pt bitity of a contemplated fusion of all States into ono mass? Whether or not, Mr. Editor, had I making of the constitution, I sh? f?ame it differently, obliterate Stato ereientv and reduce the States to condition of dependent provinces, "districts of people," I cannot chi the facts. Mr. Madison, Col. Ham i and many others who desired a " tional" government "accepted the si tion at the time, and whether they 1: it or not, duclawd repeatedly teat government establishco. by tho cons lion was essentially Federal. I cai mateo it anything else, und BO I obliged to teach. Aud I do this wit any ref???nee to the "lato--nar,1 causes or results. For I cannot see the lato war can be said to have afic the fundamental law, or changed character of the government, I eider tho great works of Mr. Ster and Mr. Calhoun eminently able, foctly truthful and critically a ccu ra1 positions of tho constitution, und t fore it is that I have adopted thu text books in my department.

Tho down passenger train from Chat tanooga that reached Atlanta Wednesday night last brought among its ' numerous passengers a family of eleven persons who wero on their return homo to South Carolina from Texas, whero they bavo been existing for tho past three years. . Tho head of tho family gavo his name as F. M. Coker, and asked a policeman nt the depot to show bim and bis party to some place where they could stay for the uight. The policeman took, tho on tiro Starty to the Btatiou-house, where a coin ortable room with a fire in it was placed - at their disposal. Here they remained until Major D. A. Cook, the kind-hearted and efficient statiomhouso keeper, carno on duty in tho morning.' Major Cook, upon visiting ikaJ? \n tho .room;/ learned from Mr. Cokertiat neither.ho.nor any member of his family had eaten a morsel on the day previous, and in consequence wero nearly famished for want of food. As soon as Major Cook learned this he sent out and cot eleven breakfasts for tho starving family. "Weil, it would have dono you good," said Major Cook to tho reporter, "to soo how that famiiy demolished the contents of tho numerous dishes that wero set be fore them. Tho little ones just pricked up their cars aud snapped their eyes as soon as they heard tho rattle of the dish es. A little tbreo year old blue-eyed boy. sprang out of his mother's lap and com menced clnpping his hands for joy. "Faces that wero without a particle of life in thom changed in the twinkling of on eyo and bore expressions of delight. Despito the great hunger of every ono ibero was plenty for all, and after a half hour spent in stuffing themselves with lbs geed thing?, the iaruiiy, from the bid man to the baby in the arms ofthe moth er, had their appetites fully satisfied," At noon the reporter looked in uno:? tho group. There wero tho old man and his wife, apparently sixty yean of age, scated on tue floor, and near them was their family. In conversation with Mr. Coker, the reporter learned that the family went to the southeastern part of Texas, about' three years ago, aud that they had set tled upon a tract of land that they ren ted, which is located a fow miles from Huntsville. During their stay in the Lone 8tar State, Mr. Coker says he has met with nothing but adversity on every turn. Ho says that he mado poor crops, and in consequence bad - little to eat. Tho land ho said was poor, and would bring nothing whatever, although ho worked hard to make a living for him- ? solf and family. Two of his daughters,' who are grown, assisted bim in plough ing in the field? and worked upon the farm in various other ways. Shortly af ; ter their arrival in Texas, tho members of his family were taken Bick with chills and fever, and up to tho date of their leaving that State, nearly all of them were still subject to thia kind of sickness. Mr. Coker says that baviDg become disgusted with tho land aud elimata ot Texas, he concluded several months ago to return to his former home, near Wil liamsburg, South Carolina. Every efforts that be made to secure money enough upon which to return homo proved to be a failure, until a few days ago when ho Recured two hundred dollars from his brother-in-law, who resides at Williams burg. With this money he at once pur chased tickets which brought him and his family to Chattanooga. Here he waa again without money. Tho chief of the police learned of the destitute condition of the family, and informed Major Hill of their situation. This gentleman soon after repaired to the office of the Wes tern and Atlantic Railroad and reques ted tho manager to pass tho family to Atlanta for hall rates, stating that if the road would do this Chattanooga would pay for the tickets. The request was promptly granted and the party arrived in this city without accident. Mr. Coker states that, the conductors along tbe lines over which he was haul ed havo been universally courteous to himself and his entire family, and that he will always fcol indebted to them for numerous kindnesses. He pays that up-a his arrival at berna bo will return to his old pursuit, which k farming. His in other-iu-lr.w, he says, has promised to give bim every assistance that be can to Set thoroughly nnder way once moro in is old State. Mr. Coker says that they can all go to Texas that want to, but for his part hs br..; had enough, and wiii re main the remainder of bia life in thc State of his nativity. Ho says that three families who reached Texas a few- days before he left took the train for home the day after their arrival, they having seen all that they wanted to of that State Mr. Coker says, that duriug bb sojourn in Texas of throe years ho only accumu lated about five dollars, after, payiug al! bis expenses and feeding his family. Yesterday Major W. L. Calhoun tel cgiupuvu U> .tugustn ti-qiivsiing ino au perintendent if tho Georgia Railroad tc tass tho family over the line to Augusto br half fare. Major Calhoun says tha if tho road will do thK that Atlanta wil furnish the money with which to pay foi tho tickets. At last accounts Mayo; Calhoun had not received answer to bli dispatch. He thinks that, the Georgi! Railroad will grant tho request. ant hopes to get tho family off to-day. Du ring their stay here Major Cook ha shewn them much kindness. He ha allowed them to retain posasssiqn of th room and has given them plenty to cai Mr. Coker, with his family, will prob ably get off to-day.--Atlanta Corutiiti Hon. . ViaoR Ok?
