The plondlngs of a. heart-broken mother

who yesterday granted a condltlonal par?
don to Georgo P. Holman, the young man
oonvlcted oC attempted assault upoa Mlsg
Cora Ixicy, of this city, and sentoncod
to Jan for twelve months.
Tho case attracted a grcat dead ot at?
tention at the time, aad the charge
against Holman was as serlous and gravo
as poasible. After prolonged trlals, both
In tha Polico Court nnd befcro 'judgo
Witt, oC tho Hustlngs Court, Holman
was sent to Jail for twelve months in Oc
tober, HH)2, convlcted of common assault
and ha-ttcry. Two feuturcs of the casa
gavo it prominence. Holman ie tho son of
foimer Judgo Hoiman, of Fluvanna
county, and has many well-known family
eonnectlons thcoughout tlie State. The
young lady nvllO proiorred the charge Is
u daughtor of the gentleman with whom
Holman boarded nt the time of tho as?
sault. Sha waa subject to flts and her
mind Is not strong. Holman invited her
to bo to an entertalnment wjlth him,

When tho news of her son's trouble

HAVE NO RIGHT TO
REBUKE THE WORLD
The view Taken By a Meth?
odist Minister of the Du
tlcs of the Preachers.
That ministers of the gospel have no
right to rcbuko Iho world for tho slns
of omtsalon and commission is tha oplnion
oxpressed Sunday ovenlng by tiio Rev. K.
M. Maxey ln a scrmon dellvcred by him
at tho Asbury Methodist Church, ot
whicli ho is tho pastor,
Mr. Maxey wns discimslng the very ln
terestlng question of "Tho nuties nnd
Frerogatlvcs of tho Mlnlstry," a subject
which hns galncd moro or less
prominence here reeontly, In tho con?
struction of his thonght ho dlvlcjed nll
rnen Into two classos-those In tho church
and those out of tho uliurcti, or of the
world. Tho church. lio said, has placod
ltself under tho curo and guldanqo of tbe
mlnlstry; tho world hon not, There
should tliorefore be u illrference In the
liuuiner ln which a preocller should np
pro'itch tho two. Tlie fnct that there
slnmld ho such n dlfferenco ls uphelil liy
riyht, expedlcncy, courlosy, nml sorlpturo.
Followlng out this thought, Mr, Maxey
dcelared that ln tho church, a mlnlstot
hns a right tn reprovo, to rebukn nnd ex
hort. In tho world ho has no such right.
Ilvrc ho must bo an evangollst, lio nuist
neck to Icad men and lo porsuitdo innn.
but thero ho must stnp.
lt ls not |)ls-prlvllego hero to rcbuko.

REPLY'TO
HAWTHORffi
Dr. Kerr on the "Pulpit and
Polltlcs."
PREACH THE GOSPEL
Pastor of tho First Church Says the
War Botween tho States Was
Brought on in Part by
Political Preaching,
A lorgo audlencs heard Dr. B. P, Kerr
proaoh Siuidny night at tho First Pren
bytorlnn Church on 'Tlio Pulpit nnd I'ol
Itlos"?a scrmon of tlio naturo .of a re
ply to Dr. J. B. Hawthome and others
who have oontcnded for an application
of tho Gospel to corront evell.
Chrlst was tried beforo Pllato, anld:Dr.
Kerr, for meddllng with polltlcs, and ha
repeated tho olinrgo mado at tho Judg
ment of our Savlour whon tho Jows crled
out, "Wo found this follow seduoing tho
jjooplo, nnd fonblddlng Uiem to glvo trl
buto to Caennr, saylng that ho hlmsclf ls
Chrlst, a King. Ho that makoth himself
a king epoakoth against Cncsar." But
Pllnto ncqultted him, saylng ho foiuid oo
fault in him, for Chrlst had told 1'llate
that ho waa a king, but that his klngdom
?was not of this world. "I como to bear
witnoss, ho saJd, "to tho truth." So It
w-ne that Pllato dcclded that Clirlsfs
klngdom was but a sect of Judalsm?a
roliglon. lt was a completod. splriVrhnl
Judalsm, with Its Messlah come nnd Its
prophosles fulfllled.
In the second place, Dr. Kerr sold,
there wero two things that Chrlst mearnt.
First of nll, that His klngdom was not
of this world, not tx wordly but a splrlt
u-al klngdom. lt hnd to do Crat of all
with man's relation to God, and, nocntid.
ly, with His relation to his fellow-man.
It had no material rewards nnd piuilsh
ments and nothlng to do dlrectly with
worldly klngdoms. In tho second place,
lt was propngatod only by tho truth. Ho
como Into the world to bear witnoss lo
tho truth and thus establlsh His klng?
dom.
Tho commission to the church nnd to
the pulpit, said Dr. Kerr, Is to preach
the Gospel to overy creaturo, tenchlng
them to observe all things whatsoever I
havo eommandod you. Tho Gospel, then,
la whatsoever Chrlst com-mnn?j<d by word
or doed. In his life, tenchlngs, denth and
rosurrectlon. Tlio apostles prefrnhed no
polltlcs, but St Paul said. "I dotermtned
to know nothlng among you snve Jesus
Ohrlst and Him crucli'ie.d." And from
tlio Acts nnd tho Eplstlns we learn no?
thlng about tho government pollcles ot
the time.
The third point Dr. Kerr mado was thnt
tho Gospel meana "niorala and salva
tlon through tho blood of Chrlst"; morals
becauso his teachings and his book cover
ovory relation of life. as rulor, subjoct.
cmployer and employo, father, mother;
husband, wife, parent, anil child. The
Church, said Dr. Kerr, has everythlng
to do with morols, and must cverlast
Ingly preach tho nioral code of Christ,
But If a political party bo organized, or
government measuro adopted for a moral
reform, the ministers have nOtlilng to do
with the party or proposed legislatlon.
"Wo must go on as over." lie said,
preaching tho moralB of Chrlst's law,
ln concluslon, Dr. Kerr contended thn*
tho war between tho Siates wns brought
on In part by political preaching. In tho
chiirch men of all parties should come
together to hear tho Gospel of silvntion,
rlghteou-snesw, charity, and under tho
cros3 to have tholr passlons cooled, their
Judgment sanctifled.
Wo havo as a natlon, eald ho, dlfllcult
quostiorts to settlo?cap4tal and lahor, tho
raco quostlon, and many othors. The
Ohurch must furnlsh men of broad pa
trlotlsm and. Christlnn character to set?
tlo theso quostlons, and this Is dono by
tfho preaching of the Gospel of Chrlst.
If tho puLp.it turn asldo from this, the
great o.nd only hope of tho natlon Is
gone, for tho Gospel is the power of God
unto aolration. and tho cross is tho only
thing tliat enn 11 ft up humanlty from
sln, dogradatlon and woe; tenchlng and
enabllng overy mnn to "love God with all
his heart, ajid his nelghbor as himself."

Glonn, J. M. X. Allea niul formor Alder
man Mosby.
Mr. King was probibly the most dls
Interested person in' tho coairt room. Ho
boro the alr of a man who felt that ho
would bo exonerated. and smlled and
chatted wlui his friends, msny of whom
shook hla hanrl nnd Wlshed l.Im well.
Judgo J. M. Mullen presided ln tho
placo of Judgo Wltt, who la stlll con
flncdi to hl3 room. Ho -was called upon
to rulo upon several motlons, nnd the re
sult of l-.is ruling wns that tho coso went
over to next term.
The, llrst point raised wns that tho
grand Jury which brought in the ln?
dlctment wns not a IeR.il ono, In that lis
members were not qualifled votcrs UTider

ly overruled.
Then tho point was rnlsed thnt tho
presonco of -Mr. John Winston. tho ste
nogrnphor, in the jury room, wass lllegnl,
nnd tho proceedlngs of that Jury were uc
oordhiBly ir.ill jind vold. Tlils point was
alro overruled, but Judgo Mullon paasod
upon it with somo hosltancy, nnd left tho
inferenco that ho rvould further eonsider
