We hear such words as these fre- quently: "I never heard him utter a word against anyone in my life.” On the face of it that is a very great compliment as applied to an indi- viaual; it is accepted as the measure of a true man. On the other hand, the knocker is condemned of all men. Let us consider the subject briefly. Beyond question, that agency known us public opinion holds more men true to a rational course of conduct than all the ethics and religion that nen teach. Public opinion is essen- tially criticism. A man accuses an- other of fearing public opinion; which is an accusation in substance of the fear of expressed criticism, We would never find the where- withal in our heart to commend ma- licious gossip.

We will answer briefly: Denominationalism expressed along the lines indicated is the first and niost important step towards the union of church and State, a con- dition which is abhorrent to our na- tional institutions, Such denominationalism would re- sult in the affairs of any State, coun- ty. or city being conducted exclusive- 1y by the adherents of one religious seet, whichever chanced to be the strongest numerically in that State, county or city. Finally, it would re- salt in the control of the national government by the sect or denoming- tion that numbered most adherents in the country. It would destroy all hope of Chris- tian unity; array friend against friend and neighbor against neigh- bor, in the most violent and vindic- D R R R R I I P ..o 235 F 0 R S A L Timber, Turpentine, Cut-over Lands, Choice Colinization Tracts at Low Prices, Florida Homes and Groves on High Rolling Land, Situated on Beautiful Lakes, Paying Straw. beary and Trucking Farms, Weguarantee all property just as represented by us, For reliable information see Ohklinger & Alfield While it is very true that these amusements at their worst are de- moralizing, it is also usually true that a man who has self-control tive hostility-—for history furnishes nio record of more bitter and violent contests than those waged in the enough to avoid such diversions alto- gether, has self-control enough and discrimination enough to use them duct which may be outwardly cour- Amy-lt-ll'. teous, but which in its essence is in- Offices, Bryant Bullding supportably irritating.

Once the pipes of an organ in cliurch were deemed to be peculiarly a haunt of the devil, and novel read- ing was a sun. By and by men were sensible enough to see that the Lord might as well have the organ pipes working or Him as for Satan, and that an enormons amonnt of human suffering was bheing by the rublicity given to ab s by writers like Dickens.
