In a recent issue of The Chroniclo several questions were asked the pastors of Camden to which we reply : 1. All visible and material things had a maker; the earth is a visible and mateiial thing; there fore the earth had a maker. 2. All invisible, immiterial and spiritual beings exist in a manner inexplicable to the human miod; God is an invisible, immaterial and spiritual beirifg; therefore God's existence ia inexplicable. 3. All finite objects of wonder, skill and design perceptable to the senses had a makei ; the world is a finite objeot of wonder, skill and design perceptable : to the senses;, therefore the world had a maker. 4. Ail Infinite beings of wonder skill Sod design imperceptable to the senses, exist iojMrfMicably ; God is an infinite wouderful, skillful and designing being imperceptable to the senses; thereforo God is in explicable. 5. To think of something com ing out of nothing is unimaginable ; the earth is something created out of nothing, so far hb previously ex isting material is concerned, there fore the creation of the earth out of nothing is unimaginable. But, though, unimaginable, it is not to be rejectod. "We have to a certain extent an aid to the thought of absolute creation in our own free volition, which, as abso lutely originating and determining, may be taken as a tvpe to us of the creative act. We speak of the creative faculty of the artist or poet. We cannot give reality to the producta of our imaginations, as Gcd can to his. But if thought were only substance the analogy would be complete." X. CASTORIA t TIB xm> YOU HATE ALWAT8 BOUGHT Cleveland. Partners are busy preparing lands for planting. One of our best farmers say* be intends starl ing to plant cotton by the 15th inst. I think he will have planting aeed to buy unless there is a big change in the weather. I see some of the correspondent* have had lots to say about "isms" especially mormoniam. Now Mr. Ed. don'l you think it best and shows more of a christian spirit tc help one another and not be so ready to criticise and condemn Jthem. Nothing is so disgusting as [to hear a man deal out Judgment against anvone who happens to differ from him in opinion, espe cially religious opinions. I think if we take justice for our guide we will let the mormons slone. The chief purpose of christian know ledge, is to promote tho great end of chriatian life. Thia knowledge fs best acquired and best perform ed by reading books of plsin piety and not by entering into the end less fneds snd engaging in the un profitable contentions of partial cobtroversionalists. Nothing is more un ami able than the mrrow ajrtrlt of party zeal; Let our re fuge be trailt up of divine truth, do not try to comfort ourselves with a lie.

One of t tie purest, sweetest and best ot moth ers is no more; one of tho slncerest and most devoted of friends has gone out from among us; a beautiful, chris tian life is ended, and in h^r death the sorrowing, aching hearts are not con lined to the homo circle of t he do 'eased, but Is shared by all who knew her. In her life she emulated the example of her Savior iu that she "went about do Ing good." Iler highest ambition seenud to be to render some loving service to her tel low creatures, ami to point lier own loved ones to tho Cross. A husband, four sons, two daughters and a number of other relatives and friends mourn her death. Into their griof to-day our heart of sympathy travels. Indeed a personal bereave ment has come to us. She was one of thu doareat friends on earth to us, and our heart Is deeply saddened at her de parture. Iler life was well spent in loving deeds of kindness aud obedi enoe to her Saviour in whom she fully trusted.
