Editor of The Manning Times. ? quite recently, a friend of mine, who in some way had learned that I ~aa universplist in religious mat rs, asked me for a statement of the sons upon which I found my be , and simply for the good it may momplish, I am sending you here th a copy of the statement which I iepared for my friend. As I see the tuation, all of us are a mixture of he good and the bad, and it would be exceedingly difficult matter to sep ate the sheep from the goats. Fur hermore, Jesus forgave his enemies, e woman taken in adultery, and the ief on the cross was given the promise of a safe delivery. In addi Won, each of us have little faults, ich are common to all men, women d children, throughout the world, and if there is such a thing as eternal ndemnnation, then all of us must snf er the condemnation of these com mon faults. It is not necessary, in 9rder for me to prove my case, to genetion all of these common faults, 'which are peculiar to all men and wo men, but merely to mention a few of them, will convince any reasonable Inan that I am correct in my conclu . sions. Wherefore, listen to the evi dence, as follows to wit: (1) Every man, wompn aml child n the woAd is an egotist. The little child, in the cradle, who has just come into the world, at once announces his . arrival as though it were of some im portance to the human race, and it (lemands the attention of all the fimily and the neighbors, as though it were demanding a natural right.

MeCosh, the President of Princeton University, boldly - announced that he was the greatest psychologist in the world, and- the writer has always believed tha; he is the greatest man in'South Carolina, and although convinced of the contrary against his will, is of the same opinion still. The writer is a college graduate, and for three years, attended some of the leading Univer sities of the world, but never a day passes but some old codger comes nudging up to the writer to advise him how to conduct his law business, and even, how to get married, and ul timately how to be saved. (2) All men and women and child ren, at some time in their lives, dis play bad manners, and it has been said with some truth that good man ners.is a lost art, and that this is the age of rudeness. Man has practically lost, respect for woman, because the average woman of this age has no mhnners. When it is considered th t the modern woman will actual y search up her men companions to go bathing with her in some country wash-hole, will picket during the worse kind of weather and amid the jeers of the hoi polloi such public places, as the White House, will de molish in her wild political frenzy the finest works of art, and display -her person in the most fantastic styles to the gaping crowd, then surely, it is not surprising that mankind has lost respect for woman. But, man him self is no better than the woman, when the question of good manners is taken into consideration, many of us confuse rudeness with honesty, and all of us at times lapse into the man ners of the beast. (3) All men and women are toJ some extent moral cowards and all of us esteem popularity more highly than the right, and our customary measure of a man is whether he is popular with his fellow-men. Some times, it happens, that the worse com pliment to be paid a man, is to state th'at he is popular, because those with whom he im popular may be of the most degraded views of life. But all of us at time fear the criticisms of our fellow-men and all of us at times have sold our character for a mess o? pottage. The most universally popu lar preacher I have ever personally known, is the most degraded moral coward I have ever known. But, whether high or low, all of us seek popularity rather than the right, be cause all of us have a natural re pugnance to stepping on the toes of our fellow-men. (4) All men and wpmen and child ren in the world enterftin more or less of malice towards some other person in the world, and malice, is the foun dation of all crimes. Malice pervades all relations of life, the home, the jury room, the pulpit, the administra tion of justice, and the governments of the world. During the recent term of Court for this County, one member of the jury boldly announced that he would not render a verdict according to the law and the evidence in any case in which the writer was interested, because forsooth the writer had com menced a legal action against him on an account which he owed and had not paid. Malice towards Woodrow Wil son has caused the United States to remain out of the League of Nations, and malice towards Jesus of Nazareth caused his death and crucifixion. (5) All men and women and child ren are given to prevarication. All law and government, with its estab lished principles of swearing the wit ness, examination and cross-examina tion, is based upon the accepted and admitted fact that all men and women, will and do lie. The prophet said in his haste that all men are liars. A friend of the writer sometime ago stated that the women are bigger liars u want. quick start T your Ford car quick, no tter how cold the weather, on mnbia "Hot Shot" Ignition Bat >. 1461.

In conclusion, Permit me to say, since the foundation of the world, the luman race has from time to time in irented its various religions, just 'as it ins invented its biscuits and its mince .ies, some good, some bad, and some ndifferent, but I am satisfied that wvery man and woman will agree with mie, without one dissenting voice, that he finest expression of religion ever ittered, whether by tongue or pen, is sunmed up in these words, to wit: 'There is something good in the worst of us, Ihere is something bad in the best of us, And it hardly behooves any of us, ro talk about the rest of us."
