C|t Wt?tbman asl S?U?I WKDKBSPAY, JTJEN3B 10, g Bri Alexander's Religio Views. ? representative of the State *o interview w?h Peek W. J. 4 dor M to his retirement the South Carolina College on ace of bia religious views. The follot is a transcript of it : . Reporter-Iv ?? r utmwwd, *Pro$? that after ??king your '.statement the trustees ob May 1, yon had a ft rance with them of some ieugtl which yoo were closely questu about your religions views. Have any objection to giving an aceooi that conference ? Prof. Alexander-None whatevt have nothing to conceal. Reporter-Ton hate no unkind 1 ing towards the trastee* ? Prof. A.-No. 1 have felt that the veatigation of my religions views was tirely au called for; hat I befiele the ? tees did what they thought was h They doubtless feb that they ought - consult the prejudices of the "mass* That's the word oow-a-days. Whet or not it is best to allow the prejud of the "masses" to determine - policy of an institution of learning a question on which even intellig men will differ. Oo the afternoon of day on which it was nek, T.dotted dc for my own nae such que*tions and plies as I could recall. 1 had bel give yon a copy of this paper, verbal memory is not good, and I do pretend in this paper to have gi ven questions and answers either in tl exact order or in their exact wor The paper, however, is subs tan tis ' exact. Here it is: Mr. Clark-Did I not ondersti yea to say the other day (referring I prenons conference) that the stud} logie was hostile to faith? A-What ? said' was. that logical c cipiine was hostile to ail blind faith to. all faith not grounded on eviden Mr. Clark-I wish to know whet! yon regard logic as hosuie to Christi faith? A.-Your question is ambigua State your question with clearness a precision and I will give youira cl? and precise answer. Do yon mean faith that believes without demandi adequate evidence, or a faith that' quires such ?vidence ? Mr. Clark-I suppose it was well a derstood what is generally meant faith, in the religious sense. Difiere persons might give different definitiot bat it is well enough understood wb is meant. A.-On the contrary, I hold th most people have no definite idea what they mean by this word. If t meaning were well understood, I shoo think it would be easy to state it. Ou tell a e what you mean, and I will a swer your question. Do you mean 1 faith, belief without evidence or be I i that requires evidence. Mr. Clark did not answer his que tion. . n. Tillman-You spoke Unitarians as Christians. What < they believe about Christ? Do th? believe that he is the Son of God? , A.-O, yes; but they would inte pr?t that expression differently fro what I suppose yon mean by it. The s -do not mean by it ?kat fie is Go They deny Hie Deity. Gov. Tillman-How can that bc? A.-The Governor, I see, is n< very familiar with theological di tin citons. GOT. Tillman-No, I am not. I ai asking for information. A.-All good meo are called io ti New Testament "Children of God," c "Sons of God." That does not imp] that they are God. Christ is not onl a son of God, but be is the Son of Go in the sense that He towers above othi ~ men io moral and spiritual genius, i His love for troth .and righteousnest and ht His hatred of alt shams am hypocrisy. It is ?is unique e lovat io of His spiritual nature that makes hia the Son of God. Gov. Tillman-Unitarians, then, d sot believe in the divinity of Christ? A.-I would not say that. Som Unitarians do believe in the divinity o Christ; but they make a distinction be tween His divinity and His Diety. T me the distinction is without a differ euee. But I mast say that one of tb< most, intellectual and distingoishet Baptist lay meo of this State makes tnt same distinction. He believes io th< divinity, but not in the deity, of Christ Gov. Tillman-Who is tbat?^ A.-It woald not be 'proper for mt to tay. ''? Gov. Tillman-I should like for yoi tell me something about Unitarians. A.-Unitarians are not a numerous body, bot, in proportica to their num? bers, they have more brains, cbaraetei and eniture than any other religious sect ie this country. Tbey are the glory of Auiericao literature. In poetry Longfellow, Bryant, James Russell Lowell and Oliver Wendell Holmes are Unitarians; io history, Bancroft, Motley, Prescott, Hildreib. Parkman . aod Jared Sparks io general literature. Emerson, Nathaniel Hawthrone, Bayard v Taylor, George Tickner, Edward Everett Hale aod others; among st a'es? tr?an, John and John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, Jvhu Marshall, and the late Judge Miller, of the Uuited States Supreme Court, Daniel Webster, .Edward Everett and, almost certainly. Jobo C. Calhoun. The last seveu presidents of Harvard College, and many of its leading professors were, and are. Unitarians. As to their views they differ widely among them? selves; for Unitarianism is not so much a system of beliefs, as a way of think? ing. They agree in denying the deity of Christ, but they encourage the utmost freedom of thought aod speech. Unitarianism has stepped to the front of all the denominations as the boldest and sincere?' champion of the cause of full religious liberty. Or? thodoxy seems to be afraid of light, of free investigation and fearless dis discussion of religious subject; Uni? tarianism welcomes and encourages these It is, therefore, peculiarly subed to the genios of free institutions. Some of the saintliest characters have been Uni? tarians. William Ellery Channing, one of the devoutest, purest men that ever trod 'this cc a ti neut, was a Uni? tarian. [In this statement ? may have omitted some of the names that ? gu ve in the conference, and I have added a few other--. I will here add than Thomas jefferson, on hearing a sermon of Dr. Channing's, wrote: "? trot* that there is nut a yooog mun now iu the Uuited States who will not die a Unitarian.**] ? A.-I have already said that ? would decline to go io io any detailed statement of my religious views. When one lias formed a coherent religious system, as I have done, one part is so correlated wifh other parts, that any categorical answer won ld be sure to be misunder? stood, unless followed by careful and extended explanation. While, there fore, i have no hesitation in stating my general religions position, as being that of a Unitarian, 1 must still decline to oter intodetaHs. . :t Mr. Jo???-Conld yon teach logic in connection with any of the standard works on the evidences of Christianity? A.-If by "standard works" yon mean the older works that have been widely used in our colleges, I most say that I wonld not teach enoh works in connection either with logie or with anything else.. Mr. Jones-- Why not. A.-Bee&nse I regard them as anti? quated and abounding in fallacies and Mr. * ISvaua-What do Unitarians think of the birth ol Christ; do they be? lieve that he wa? "conceived by the Holy Ghost?'' A.-They wonld interpret that ex? pression very differently from yon. It j is my opinion that most Unitarians regard Christ's birth as a purely natural event. Mr.- Evans-Have the. Unitarians die covered Who Christ's father was. A.-JI do root fcnow; it never oc? curred to me to enter upon soon an in? vestigation. Mr. Finley-Do the Unitarians be? lieve that Christ is the only author and finisher of our faith ? A.-Yon will have to explain what yon mean by that expression before I can undertake to answer. [Mr. Finley did. not explain.] ^MT. Finley-Do they befeve that Christ came to save people from their sins ? A.--?, yes, that is why they preach His example and teachings. Mr. Finley-Do they believe that he saves people by bis death ? A.-Not in thc sense in which.ortho? doxy interprets that expression. Any man who dies for a noble cause may be said to save men by his death. Unita? rians if I understand them, lay for more stress on the life than on the death of Christ; most of them. I think, hold that Christ^ work was purely ethical. l%ia view seems to be invading ortho? doxy. Bishop Thompson, of the Epis? copal Church, boldly took this ground in bis sermon before the graduating olass of this University in June last, Dr. Capers will bear me witness in this. That-is extremely radical doctrine for orthodoxy. "As there was a pause at this point, I intimated to the Governor that I was subject to his orders, whereupon I was permitted to retire to-the guillotine.r - ? t mmm Professor Alexanders Case. The Alexander business appears to us to be a very large tempest in a tea pot. In the-reorganization of the State university the number of professorships was reduced. Somebody had to be left oui. Professor Alexa uder#ae left out. He thinks fae was left out ' because he ia a Unitarian in belief. In support of that theory he ci tes the quest ions ask ed him concerning his belief and teachings when he .waa. before the. trustees, at Meir request, for the purpose of giving information and offering "suggestions regarding,.the college and statements made and opiuions ex-pressed, privately, by members of the board. Speaker Ira B. Jones,'one of the board, says "he does cot believe Professor Alexander's relig? ious opinions caused him to be left out and thal that gentleman-volunteered his statement of his views. Governor Tillman, another member of the board, says the same. Professor Alexander seems to prove conclusively, in reply to Speaker Jones that he stated his reli? gions views at the suggestion or request of the board? and that some members Vere so influenced by those Views" that they would have opposed bis election if he had been nominated. The trustees are given the control of the college and charged with the respon? sibility of making it popular and success? ful. It is their right and duty to put the institution under management which will command the confidence and good will of the public and secure'its efficiency in the training and instruction of stu? dents. In is not clear that the board left Pro? fessor Alexander out because be is a Unitarian. The board would have had the right to leave him out if its members had believed that his avowed belief or his teaching ; would injure the college. Their business was to look to that mat? ter and no further. Whether the re? pugnance of the people to send their sous to a college where they might be taught to reject the Trinity and question the divinity of Christ is "religious intol? ?rance" or not was not the business of the board. That body would have had no right to risk serious injury to the institution entrusted to its management by following its ideas of religious liberty or trying experiments with public sentiment. Ko business ,man would keep in his employment a man whose religious, social, per? sonal or political peculiarities made him so unpopular or distrusted with the public as te drive away large patronage Tolerance ha? its proper limits. No? body has the right to ostracise or boy? cott or persecute a mau because of his opiuions, so long as he obeys the laws. In the matter of the education of their children, however, people have the right to choose teachers who will teach such things as they themselves believe or will, at least, refrain from teaching children that the religior of their pa? rents is wrong. There is no intolerance io that sny more than there is in stay? ing away from a church which we do not accept the doctriues of. If a Uni? tarian clergyman hbould come to Green? ville he would be respectfully treated ! aud free to build a church aud conduct services, but probably, few people would go to hear bim. So Professor Alexander might have been put in tho chair of logic, but if au impression got abroad that he was teaching bis studeuts that Christ was not the sou of God very few people in the State would have cared to send 'heir sons to learn logic under him -0fee nvVe AW*.

Co., Life Rate Endowment Plan. I The plan of this desirable form of insurance is as follows: The rates of premium, payable In cash, are the same as for ordinary life policies ; and the surplus, or dividend, is ap? portioned annually upon the same basis. This surplus ia each j ear re tai nea by the Company, and interest allowed thereon at the average rate earned by it upon its assets. When the accumulated surplus and the "re? serve" maintained upon the policy (according to the combined experience of mortality and four per cent, interest), shall equal the face of the policy, that amount will oe paid to the insured. At the death of the insured the amount of the policy will be paid to the beneficiary. If such death occurs after the policy bas' been in force five years, the amount of the policy, together with the outstanding accumulated surplus and interest, will Oe paid. This is a specially distinctive teature of the PENN MUTUAL policies-original with it, and guaranteed by no other company. After the insured has been a ra tm ber five full years, the accumulated surplus and inter? est can be used, if desired, in payment of fu? ture premiums ; at hts option, however, later surplus, or dividends, may remain with the Company aud the endowment feature be tims .fsumed. It the insured, after the second annual pay? ment has been made, desire* to surrender his policy, a paid-up non-participating life policy will be i.-sued for an equitable amount, the same as upon the ordinary Life Plan; and il he ?hould fail to apply for such paid-up in? surance, within the time named in (he policy, he will, under the non-forfeitiug rule of the Company, have the full amount of insurance carried for the time which the full iegal value of the policy, at time of non-payment will exteud it The time in which policies issued upon this plan will mature as endowments, cannot be definitely staled. This depends something upon the age ot the insured at issue (the elder ?h*? ?ge the gienter the "reserve" and the more rapid the accumulation 1, and largely upon the amount of surplus earned each year by the policy. This surplus is contingent upcu the amount of death claims, expose of management, and the interest realized upon investment. In all three of these the ex? perience of the PENN* has been most favorable. The Official Reports show the PENN .MUTUAL to be one of the leading companies in the country. Its returns of surplus have been more in number and of larger average per cent, than tho*e of any other. There is no reason to doubt it will maintain its high .standard of excellence. If so, the term of the Kndownment will be shorter than in any other company issuing similar policies. A. C. PHELPS, Agent, SUMTEI?, S C. April 2'Z Mica Mines in Arizona? ? Cb ________ Arizooa'every where abounds in pay? ing mines of about everything minable aod in mica the territory abounds, but not io paying quantities. Every dry creek bed is an apparent mass of dia? monds from the detached particles of mica they contain in large quantities, bot paying deposits are about as rare in Arizona as in other parts of the world. Near Pbenix a small bed has been found but ia not worked. The mine recently discovered, and owned by Knox Corbett and Samuel Hoghes, is now the objeot of great hopes by the owners, and aooording to? their report of the property may well be such, as mica al way s bas ready sale and brings from 10 cents to $14 a pound, as the size of the sheets varies. Upon the whereabouts of the property they are most strictly mum, but other? wise concerning it are perfectly frank. They have it in paving quantities, it be? ing found in large lumps which are care folly extracted by skilled labor, after? wards to be split iota sheets. Speci? mens of the mica are perfeot, of good size, some reaching ten inches square. Two men are employed at the mine. The owners are now in correspondence with parties io the east for sale of the output of the mine. There are but two other mica mines now worked ic America. One in New Hampshire, the other in North Carolina. Extensive plants are at the mine for working and splitting the mica. Last year ?97,000, worth of mica was im? ported, coming from Europe.-Arizona Citizen.
