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*.

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.

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
