THE MANNING ThES, BILL ARP Discusses the Sanctity of Marriage and of the Sabbath. Is marriage a failure?" We see that question going around and being discussed. If I knew what particular marriage they are talking about maybe I could answer. I know several that are failures. But as a general propo sition they might- as well ask, "Is man a failure, is woman a failure, is crea tion a failure?" But suppose marriage is a Failure, what are you going to do about it? Mr. Ingersoll says untie the knot. Let w.-..man untie it for cause and a woman without cause. His precise language is, "I would give divorce to every woman who wanted it whether the man had violated the contract or not." Surely he dident mean that. He dident reflect on the consequences. It is a kind of "free love" that we thought was abandoned even in New England. It shocks the judgement of all mankind. What would become of the children if the mother was permitted to change husbands at her pleasure? Maybe in her caprice she would want some other woman's hus band and so destroy the peace and happiness of that family. Mr. Inger soll's theory is to let every woman float around loosa until she found her affinity, but, sometimes a woman loves a man who doesent love her; what then? The poor fellow would have to run away,- I reckon, and if he was uncommonly good looking an other woman would grab him on the run-in fact, two or three might grab him and fight over him, for the scriptures do tell us of a time 'vhen seven women shall take hold of one man. Good gracious! From such a calamnity good Lord deliver us. Mr. Ingersoll ought to write a book on "Divorces Made Easy," and tell us what is to be done with the children -the poor little innocent things who wouldent have any father to spatk of and hardly any mother; no happy home, no parental training, no com fort-for you see their mother might be living with some other fellow. Mr. Ingersoll says that "parents make a mistake in bringing up children, in stead of letting them grow." Was there ever such theoretic nonsense uttered by a learned and intelligent man? We have all admired his beau tiful expressions, his tenderness, his sympathy, his exquisite pathos of thought, but his -utterances in his late lecture in Chicago would indicate that the man has lost his reason. In his desire to obliterate the Bible and all its teachings, he makes a stab at marriage and training up children and at the Christian Sabbath. . He says that "a man who says the Colum bian Fair should be closed on Sunday -is a monument of impudence." He is welcome to his company, for every bad man, every immoral woman, every anarchist, every lawbreaker, is on his side. On the other side are all the great and good men of the centu ries that have passed from Milton and Shakespeare down to Macaulay and Gladstone. All the greatest philoso phers and poets of the past 200 years stand as firm as a rock upon the Bible and its teachings, and it does not be come one man, however learned, to array himself against them. To do that a man must be a "monument of impudence." Dr. Samuel Johnson, the profoundest thinker and philoso pher, says: "Religion, of which the rewards are distant and which is animated only by faith and hope, will glide .by degrees out of the mind unless it be invigorated by external ordinances and by stated calls to worship." One man cannot destroy sanctity of the Sabbath. It is stradige that he would wish to. Ilheard a Jewish rab bi say in a public lecture: "I do not believe in your Christian religion. It is not my faith nor the faith of my fathers, but I would not live in any but a Christian country, under Chris tian laws and Christian rulers. A Christian civilization has done more for humanity and liberty and progress that all others, and offers the best protection to my children and my property." I do not believe that an agnostic or infidel or gambler or cheat or swindler if he has a family would tear down the spires of our -churches or muffle the sound of the S'abbath bells. Every man, however self debased, has a hope for the welfare of his children. Mr. Ingersoll lectured on "Liberty" and in his enthusiam over his subject he wants every man and woman and child to do as they please, especially the women- and children. He says that "men are slaves, and women are the slaves of slaves, and children are something worse." If men are slaves, who are the masters? If there is any slavery at my house Mrs. Arp does en't know it, and every morning at daybreak my rooster crows, "Woman rules here," and I hear it echoed over at Judge Milner's and John Akin's and Dr. Kirk's, and even old Uncle Simon Peter's ducks say, "Quack, quack, that's a fact." Solomon said: "Train up a dhild in the way he should go, for when he gets old you can't." - And Pope said: "Just as the twig is bent the tree's inclined." To my opinion there is most too much liber ty every where in this land of free dom. I am certain the boys have too much for they shoot my pigeons in my own trees and Mrs. Arp says we mustent say anything about it for fear * of hurting feelings. Mr. Ingersoll wants them to grow up as they please and frolic every day and on Sunday to wake up and sing: Welcome, sweet day of fun. That saw the Fair arise; The gates are open and I'll run And feast my longing eyes. Or that other hymn now changed to read: Thine earthly sabbath, Lord, we love, And to the Fair my feet il shove. Now I don't believe in penning the the children up all 'Cay Sunday with the shorter catechism, but I do be lieve in training them to have respect and reverence for the Lord's day, and to go to Sabbath school and church and read some; in the Bible. The devil has a good chauce to work on them all the week days, and it is well to fortify against him one day ii seven and repair the breaches. ] l1o arond me wherever I go, and I find the best people are on the side of the church and the Sabbath and the preachers. May our children all stand or fill with them. What a contrast to those senti meuts of Ingersoll were the old-fas! - ioned, impregnable .dnionitions of Dr. Strickler and Dr. Candler at the dedication of the Agnes Scott icsti tute last week. What a feast of rea son-what a comfort to the parents who have daughters there. I am thankful that I have lived to see that day and hear those sentiments breath ed out by noble, Christian men great-hearted, broad-minded educa tors, who are leading our people in the only road to happiness. I am thankful that I have lived to see this splendid memorial to a good woman --a mother in Israel who raised up her children in the fear of God, and taught them to love and to fear Him and keep His commandments. We used to have such wcmen and their sons were heroes and their daughters heroines in the time of trouble. As Dr. Candler said, I am glad that I have lived to see the man who in active life gave of his first earnings $111,000 to build and establish such a school as this for our daughters. Such a grand success as the Agnes Scott has never been known in Georgia nor in the South,-for it has sprung up as by a magican's wand or the rub bing of a geni's lamp. Dean Swift said that "The reason why there were so many unhappy marriages was be cause the girls spent too much time in making nets and so little in mak ing cages." They attach more impor tance to catching a lover than keep ing a husband. That may be so, but the men are worse. They cease to be lovers too soon after marriage, and the trouble begins-the trouble that Mr. Ingersoll would try to remedy by a divorce, but try in vain. Every wife knows her duty aud so does her husband. Let them perform it and be happy and make the children hap py. There is an old gander at my house who for many days has stood by his mate while she sets on her nest. She plucks the down from his breast and covers her eggs. When she leaves them forfood he escorts her to the grass and escorts her back with a dignity and a devotion that are impressive. My respect for geese has greatly en larged since I made their more inti mate acquaintance. Brun ARr. EPL THE INTRUDE.-That disease is propagated by the innumerable microbes, germs, etc., which fill the air we breathe and the water we drink, there can be no question. These microbes attack the human body and breed. poison in many shapes. Recent - experiments read before the congress of surgeons at Berlin leave no doubt that the way to cleir the system of these germs is to force them out -through the pores of the skin. S. S. S. does this in the most efficient way. It cleans them out entirely, and the poison as well. Mr. F. Z. Nelson, a prominent and wealthy citizen of Fremont, Nebraska, suffered for years with scrofula, and it continued to grow worse in spite of all treatment. Finally, four bot tles of Swift's Specific cured him. He writes: "Words are inadequate to express my gratitude and favorable opinion of Swift's Specific."
