and evades the olnls at Issue with Its
accustomed sntftlnoss. It dots cot
matter though. The publlo have be
come familiar with Its methods and
cpethets which might mean something
In a respectable paper, but are re
garded as so much expletive' and
nothing more when they are voided by
the mlune.
Calling the DijcnKT New a n liar,
of any age or description, will not set
aside the fscU They are, that the
Commesalouers have done their utmost
to Impress upon tho government and
the oountry Iho Idea that mw toly.
gamous marrlarea are being conliact

thu face of the manifesto. That they
have endeavored to fottly thisu false
charges, preferred In such a way as to
iiosro crlmlual responsibility for
making thein. br figures which mis
re relent the truth. That they have
tudeavored to besmirch gentle
rain who linvo given evidence
of the wrong doing of tho Commission,
and have officially denied facta that
are well known and susceptlllu of
positive preuf. That tl.ey have adoi ted
thu methods and the arts of the cheap
pettifogger and lltlcal trickster.
And that all webaveshown up against

Tho court records are the best evl

the caiea which the Commissioners
have tabulated. They will substanti

will wipe Ihtmoutor reconcile them
with thu charges of the Commissioners.
The answer to their query of
whatobect they could have In view
In uarratlug falithoods, Is lu their
evident deilre to kicp hold of their sole
seats and their lucrative salaries, to
which they cling as tenaciously a
though the emoluments had not been

They cannot tsiape the criticism
which their lallry and untruthful
effort will provoke when the truth la
made clear, and wu do not proso to

TllK fundamental principle of Chris
tianlty Is self sacrifice for tho good ol
others. It received Its iierfect exem
pllficatlon In Christ, who by Ills life
of self abuegatlon and His Ignomini
ous death, manifested a love wljcli
embraced the wbolo humau race. To
Loa Christian Is, s fsraa possible, to
put aside tho selfishness of thu werld
and follow Ills example. Those who
are imbued with Ills spirit take with
in the embrace of their sollcltudu tho

out nil that la noble and beautiful In
tho human character, because to be
couiu Christ-like Is to reach the closest
polilbto proximity to the perfection of
good hens.
These rellectlons are superinduced
by Incidents which exemplify tho
direct opjiosltu of Christian character

their profession, ought to stand out

A DUl'Alcll from thu city ol Mexico
states that on Ihe 1.9th Inst. 1'orforlo
Diaz was formally declared l'rraldcnt
of Mexico for tho ensuing four years,
beginning December 1st. Diaz la
certainly the greatest man of the
present day In his own country. Hit
rtcord aa statestnau, soldier and
patriot Is honorab!c,envlab!u and noble.
Mexico achieved tier Indepeudenco
In 1921. At that time Iturhldo trlud to
kclup an empire. The first republic;
was established, nnd tho first constitu
tion ndoteJ lu October, 182 1. Two
Irtles, the Centralists and I'ederallsts,
tlmn prevailed. Tho former udvocatud
Hpanlsh Interests, Iho latter llberalm.
Tbo slruggltai of these parlies kept the
country In a ttate of civil war for
many years. During the war with the
United Hlntea facllonlsm was for n
time suppressed. At tbu elosu of this,
'two parlies again apreaied, Conserv
atlvesand Liberals, The formi r repre
sented the church aud thoarlitocraU,
thu latter the advocates of religious
freedom and liberal government.
In 1837 the Liberals succeeded In
adopting a new constitution, which Is
now In force. Under It Comonfort
nnd Juarez wero elected President nnd
Vlco.l'rtsldent. .Comonfort developed
Into a dictator, and was forced to Uy
thu country. Juarez then assumed ex
ecutive lawer. The Conservatives,
under Mlramou, Inaugurated civil war,
which laitod for three years. Juarez pro
clulmed thu separation of church and
state, freedom of opinion, liberty of
worship, suppression of monasteries,
and confiscation of church roperty.
In December, 1859, the Conservatives
were completely eubdiud, nnd Juarez
waa elected prisldent In 1S0O.
Thu coalition forces of Kngland,
flpaln and franco landed st Vera
Cruze-rly lu 1661. Part of thu Con
servatives took sides with them,butthe
reraalndrr olned the Liberals In resist
lng the Invaiers, Hpalu and l.ugland
became alhaiued of their action and
wlthdrow. Franco remained lu Iho
field. It was at tho battle of Pucbla,
May Dili, 180!, that Ucneral Diaz dis
tinguished himself against the French,
who were de feated. In 18(1.1 another
battlu was fought; Dlsz wascsptund
by tho Flench, but etcated. Juartz
and his cabinet retired to I'asodel
Nolle. Tho I'roucli took posserilon of
Mexico, aud proclaimed Maximilian
Ihnixror,
Mcuntlme Dlsz was not Idle, lo
assumed tbu JcMitvishlp of his pcoile
against tbu Invaders, and fought at
every point, until hu carried by storm
l'uebla, a Maximilian stronghold, lu
1607. Hhoitly alter, tho City of Mi z.
eo Hiirendercd to Diaz. This undid
Frcocli rule, Juarez waacleiied l'riil
dent. Four )cais alter hu rn re
elected, It Is suit!, by unfair means, A
revolution occurrrd, lu which Diaz
figured. Jutinzdled lnlS72ml aco
was lettoiod. Ltrdu of 'lini)n nie
ce ided htm.
In 1870arovolntlou occurred again,
the partlsaus of Diaz and Lurlo tuk.
lng (tut. Diaz e:ratd to New
Orleans, but riturned soon alter to
Mexico, raised an army and drove
tM-rdoout of the country. Diaz was
eleclel President In 1877, and If we
remember aright Is now entering on
his fcurlh lerm as President of the
Mezlcan Its-public- Tho advance
which that country list made since
1677 Is marvelous. The (Jarza revolu
tion was ntd to Iw Inspired by tho
Calhollu Church for thu removal of
Diaz, but the Diaz peo-te themselves
deny this, and say It was only tho folly
and rashness of a few advoulurert
In politics.

f.ditor Dtictcl Acir
I learn by alalelnuoof your paper
that a reverend gentleman of this city
baa publicly declared that thocourla
have decided that "Ibis Is a Christian
nation." This is such a rcmaikable
statement from a prof erred Christian
minister, that I cannot but express a
few thoughts relative to the truth and
prcpflcly of tuch decision If ever
made.
The question atlifi by virtue of
what law coulJ such a JuJr.
neut bu rendered? Courts aro sup
posed to act by authority of and tl
decide nil cases nnd questions In con
formity with liw, Tho actions of
courts without law would beoxtrbuuly
ridiculous If not positively absurd.
The Constitution of our country
forblda tho maklug of any law "re
spectlng an oslabllstimuut of religion. "
Am I to suppose that the Constitution
has leeu wantonly violated; that
courts aro acting upon tinconstltutluu
al provisions? This wculdloiolf the
ruverend gentleman'a statement bu
correct. Certainly such a condition of
things could not add much to the
Christian character of the country nor
to the reputation of Itsjudlrlary.
The met that neither thejudtclal nor
law-maklm departments of the coun
try can Imve anything to do with le
llglou In their otllrlal capacity, Is per
hsju somewhat auggestlvu of the con
dltlon of the country as to lie Chris
tlaulty a country In which It can
have no cncoiirsgemt nt from tbesource
Indicated. Bo far aa the courts are
concerned, Infidelity or atheism Is Just
as good, and has the samu rights and
liberties! aa Chrlnlanlty. Why tbu
ruv. gentleman ahould appeal to such
a sourcu for defense ol tbu nation's
puilly Is somewhat Inexplicable,
Christianity, I freely admit, should
I Ihe prldu and boast of this groat
nation; but wu muitiearch for and find
It eliovt hcru llinn In Its courts.
Tin. few Christians that aro In the
land ri cognize Christ as Ibe Author of
their faith; that the doctrlnea and
princllei Hu taught concerning
Christianity, nnd thu ructlco of
these prlucq les, are necessary to con
atltutu a truu Christian and maku men
rollowurauf tlioChrlst. This admitted,
we llud our-elves nuder thu necessity
ol turning to Ibe lllble aud to thu
ministers of thu day to llud uvldenco
of our natlon'a Christianity. We ruly
upuu the lllble at uvldeucu of Christ's
lifts and teachings, and by examining
cloicly wu may bu ablu to arrlvu at
Just concluiloiih In refereucu to our
country's cLIiue.
Christ's luleel.n to earth wu hcrsld
ed with thu cry of "Peace on earth,
good will to mnu." This was thu
naturu and character uf the (ioepel
taught during Ills ministry, llestrovu
to reconcllo thu children of men to
Ood, by their doing Ills will; and to
istabllsh peace and fellowship
among men, by bringing them
all to a unity of that faith and doctrine
which lletaugbt. There was but ono
fellh, one Uosjl, and one baptlim, to
which all mint submit, to lw recog
nized by Him as His disciples, obedi
ence to which secured to all tho samu
sjlrlt.
Having the same faith and (asses
sing tbu samu spirit, made men one,
even as Hu and thu 1'atherf weru oue.
"Hxccptyueruonu yonrunot mine,"
Is Christ's declaration to his followers.
No matter what sect or occujiatlon
they catnu from, His most uvrntst
prayer for them wot that they might
become one. Without this oneness In
faith aud spirit thero Is no positive,
practical evidence of Christianity.
'lo believe that Christ dltd among
men and Is the Personago he claimed
to be, dots not alono make men Chrts
liana. Men without nny religion,
aud uven devils, believe Hits
much ns well as tho professed
Christian mlnlitem who havo lived
both In hit day an 1 lu our day. jloth
history and tradition havu stamped a
belief In Christ's lllo upon thciuluds
of both saint and .lnner;but It Is no uvl
deucu tojay of n holy life for n man to
say he belluvet lu Christ. A life con
fouuableln all things to tho doctrine
aud prluclilesllu ttuiiht cau alone tie
evldiucoof lovo for Him. "He that
hath inf coinmauJmcnta and keepeth
them, he It Is that loveth me; tl n nun
lore mo huwlll keip mywordt;and
my Father will lovu him." B.ejaku
Jesus.
That portion ot the world called
Christian It today, as In Christ's day,
divided an! subdivided Into a multi
tude of faiths and organizations, all at
varlaucu with each other; so much to
that maoy will not commune with an
other sect or society than their own.
A similar statu of things ozlsted
In thntlmu of Christ when men wire
zealous lu keeping tliu law, but III
ricogulzwl none of them at Ills lu
their divided and discordant condition,
'lhey uereoppoacd to thooneness ard
spirit of the Oospcl which Ho taught,
aud which His followers weru requlrid
to cherish unu towards another.
From Ihe history of tbu past, and
tho union required of ineii In Christ's
dav, our nation iriseuts a mott nil
clirlatlaullku iipirarance; an I the
uianv ticlt that nte crying "Lo hire,
and lo thero It Christ," are to many
evidences that they are Indeed aim
Cliilst lu split!, us well as In the piac
Ileal develo) ment of Christian life.
If Cbrlst were to como again to earth
lu our day, Hu would find ample cjuio
to say to the sects, aa of yore, "l.xcept
) u are ono yo are not mlue,"
Leaving Ihtiu aud mauy other like
scrlj tural ovldemrs which might be
given lu support of this cardinal doc
trine of Christ, that !ovo,iinlly, lellou
ship nud erfect communion must
characterize Ihe !l7ce ot tnou to mike
them acitbillu to Him, brief riler
elite must lo inadu to thu clerg) of our
duy who ihlni to bumlul-tert ol Christ

nutlons of Cbilsllsully,
riilawaan imminent featureofen
coursgi ment held out to the few eon
veils made at thu Isle revival meetings
held In this oily. They could name
their uwu minister, aud chose tho
society with which thoy would t
connected; thus simply consigning
oonverlatua condition of recognized
disagreement In church standing and
fellowship.
As a cla-s of mon, It Is pitiable to
know they nre not what they should
be. Wo ilo not always find them re
I resenting In their lives tbu life of
their Master thu meek and lowly
Jesus. Too many of them are edu
cated as other professionals aro for
the mcro turposu of obtaining a good
living by their aervlces. THemlnlt
tcrlal circle hat not power to claim Its
ratikt from tho Infamy anJ criminal
dhgrace which ao frequently ac; car In
the J utile Journals, and which strve
to make Christianity a Mss and a bye
word with the observing mala of the
people. There aro loo many among
them who are as willing to send peo
ple to hell as to heaven, should they
hat priilacllatgren with tbem ns to the
vro) and mode of getting there.
It Is n notorious fact that many of
the Christian ministers are forimost
aud unrelenting lu their ;ereuillou
aud misrepresentation of other ioclrtli'1
as Christian as themielves, wtisti en
It It no. beyond recollection that a
young min In this Christian nation

of tho many churches he should Join,
and when he received answer, and
proclaimed It lo thu world, that hu was
to Join none of them as being the
Church of Chrlit, a ttorni of perietu
Hon arolo frum these pious, religious
leaders that never ceased whllu he
lived, and the few who allowed favor
to the young man and llrieiidcd him,
were made sharers with blm of the
same demonlau hale.
This was In our land of religious
liberty, where no law Interfered with
a muu't lalth lu dud, and where no
court was eui posed to tell men how or

committed lu onu year by rululitcrs,
and publlehed lu thu ubllo papers,
weru gathered by one man to tho num
ber ol 1101, and Ibesowero pre-umed In
bu not one-lentil of the nclual number
lerpelrated liv the Christian c-lcrgyof
our nation. Tbcee crimes wero com
roltted by ItlJ preachers, who were
convicted lu Ihu courts and their esses
published. This possibly may bu thu
reason why the rev, geiittiman ol this
city makes referent e to tbo courts
being cometeut to decide upon Hie
Christianity of Ihu nation bearing euch
fiults i f rlghleoiistie-s. In which It Is
alleged that the clergy, ns a class, com
mit more crime lu proportion lo num
bers than any other.
Other lmtanea may bo considered;
such, for Instance, as an Internal
fratricidal waiif years' duration Ihu
despoiling of nearly one-third of the
nation by rob! cry, and by expending
millions of money lu tho uoblu Chris
tian work of destroying hundreds of
luoiuumlsot lives and leaving millions
of sorrowing wlvis, children and
friends whosu cries havo ascended to
heaven while mourning their loss
Then there Is thu haughty prldo aud
arrogancu that reigns supreme through
out the land In thumldit of allluence,
while tho desplsoJ, neglected, starving
poor aru eking out n mlserablu exlit
encuwlth none to illy, aud to whom
dtuth would be a welcome relief. All
these, with the dally crimes committed
whloh aic enough to "maku the
angels weep" might bo put In Ihe
scales nnd weighed In contrast with
our natlon'a excellence, and then let
that Uod, who will not look u;ion sin
with an) degreu of allowance, Instead
of the natlon'a court, decide by thu
slunUard of rlghteouiness upon tbu na
tion's Christianity,
Whllu this revolting condition of
things exhibits a vast amount of
li J iocrlsy nnd downright wlcne Iness,
wu know the nation has n vast num.
bsrnf devout worslilpjiers who rever
ence Clod and recognize Ihu mission ot
Jesus Christ in Ha true signlflcancu so
far ns their hnowledgu e untiles them to
com(reliend the truth as through Him
revealed. Theso may be considered ns
the salt of tho earth, by virtue of whole
Influence many may lw laved.
Court! may by Investigation know
something about men's crimes, but
their knowledge of men's faith and
religion Is too trilling to pais a reliable
Judgment that will secure Iho endorse
ment of Christ lu Ihelr decision.
Christianity Is not a matter uf mils
conventions to bu detcrmlued by
msjorltles, but Is Individual property,
the value of which cau only be appre
ciated by lUroticisor. H. W. 11.
