The com mittee has issued a stirring address which was published in the daily papers last Saturday. It handles the dispensary with gloves off and calls upon good people of every class and profession to unite for its over throw and for the establishment of prohibition in its stead. It is now evident that prohibition will be a live issue in the next politi cal campaign and that it will have a full set of candidates in the field. When it coined to a square issue be fore the people between prohibition and the dispensary, prohibition is going to win. Revolutions never go bac' wards. The people in this State wii! never again tolerate open bar rooms and they are now’ widely dissatisfied vvilh tiie dispen sary and waiting only an opportunity to smash it.

My subject is‘'Harp of the Soul.” The soul is a harp of a thousand strings. It is strung with every chord of sense and sentiment, passion and principal, graee and attribute of our nature. It is tuned at will, swept by the inspiration of motive and purpose, thrummed by the lingers of thought. Different people differently play upon this harp. One is ever on the bass, another is ever on the tenor, while others sweep back and forth with the harmony of u thousand variations. There aie others again who alternate between melody and medley, accord ai d dis cord, while others still, it is sai 1, no music ever give upon the soul’s im mortal lyre. Of such the great poet drew the picture when i,e wrote these words: Tin- man i li.it hath no inusii* In lii-, soul. Nor i> not moved with concord of sweet sounds, I ■. Id for i lensoiis. st,Mt:ii.'. i:is and spoils; The mot ions of his spii it :i re dull as niitht. And his alVi clions dark as Krehus; l.i t no such man I«: trusted. At times we all play ii.ori* or lea* radiuiy upon this harp of immortal ity; and it requirts the Suine culture to play upon the internal as upm the external instrum. :,t,no untutorcJ hand, without extraordinary or air- normal genius can sweep the strings of the lyre with even the simplest strains of melody, and the master pieces of composition cun only bo reproduced upon an instrument after years of study and practice. It is only when culture has reached its noblest pitch in the music of the soul that genius can bring out, with grandest effect, the otherwise un developed capacities of our lyrical natnr,. What is true of mu ic D the plr. -icu! and artistic sense is true of i hu spirit a! and immortal; and that magnificent instrument which (i d o ;s placed in thes • mortal bosoms must be sirung and l uni d and swept a i'li a culture un i a practice which alone can mane the music of life PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS.

We uli are musicians of some sort in accord or discord witli Cod and nature; and net only in the realm of the true, the beautiful and good, but in the sphere of the false, the hideous use of law? If a mob is to meet out j and the bad, everybody and every- Legislatme amount in the aggregate : justice* to the* greatest crimes, on the ! thing touch the strings of our burp 10*954.571,77. Last year they ag-] ground that the law is inadequate, j eit ’!^ r t0 l . na . ke &r ( rnu f Vho iui*!odus 1 | of life and immortality. Ihe Bible is the gnat note book from which the soul catches its noblest strains; and nature to the student and lover of the truth, the beautiful and the good ullirds a thousand touches and variations to the immortal mas*.cr piece of the saint who thrums his lyre with the symphonies of heaven. Today we may play softly and sweetly as the s >ul is attuned to Cod and good; tomorrow we may play hardly and madly us the heart may be touched by Hit* affliction of satan and will even with religion the chords of the (l.-sh clash with the chords of Hit* spirit, and sometimes the discord of hell drowns the accord of Heaven. .Sometimes love turns to Juit, mag nanimity to meanness, to covetne.-s, virtue to vice, and the soul may praise today may forget and curie tomorrow as did Peter when lie pledged fidelity and then denied his Lord. Hate and love can only lie in ac cord when we love that alone which should be loved and h that alone which should lie hated. The importance of training the soul to the consistency of the music of its own lyre is in the face of habits. By way of illustration : We hove been told that the nerves are the tracts of habit which through is inadequate, gregated *842,151,82. The increase I then why may not the mob displace is *112,419 95. So. in this era of re-j all law? In mathematics and in form, the Legislature from year to ; logic, and so far ns we know in all year goes on increasing the appro-| processes of practical reasoning, the priations and thereby piling up the taxes. Reform promised us retrench ment and lower taxes. It is giving us extravagance and increased bur dens. What do the readers of The Ledger now think of reform? The act of the Legislature author izing the State to borrow money from the sinking fund with which to com plete the capitol building, is giving rise to some nice legal questions. Whether the State can so use a fund gnater includes the less. ‘‘When guilt is certain,” the News says, Yes. but right there is the trouble. Grunt to the mob the right to execute justice ‘'where guiit is certain,” and it will soon afterwards proceed to inflict punishment where guilt is ex ceedingly uncertain. The truth is, a mob is not qualified to pronounce upon the certainty or uncertainty of guilt. The victim of the crime in question, is very often rendered in capable of making a clear indentifi- 8.*t aside by law for another specific I cation, by her excitement, humilia- purpose, is the problem that now confronts the legal mind. When it comes to a man’s borrowing money from himself, we acknowledge that we don’t know how it is. D may be all right and it may be all wrong. We doubt not, however, that the aforesaid legal mind will solve all the difficulties of the problem and direct the State along a plain path of duty and rectitude. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ We feel that our Legislature did a tion and shame. We are sorry to see any newspaper, especially one having the ability and influence' of the Greenville News, go out of its way to put itself on record as favoring mob violence in any shape or form.

Hence, let us remember as we play on our harps of a thousand string*, so shall we continue to play hereafter and for ever. The melody ’hut sweeps on the soul's great iyre ai the grave, will be tiie one, we shall everlastingly play in hell or Heaven. The avaricious or miserly soul never touches any note save that of the ring of the 'almighty dollar.” The drunkard secs no beauty save in the glow of the wi"e cup and hears no melody save in the bacchanalian revel; and ail the harmonies of home and honor and hope are lost in the awful and discordant gurgle and swirl of debau chery and ruin.
