Since Acorney-Cetioral Blackburn ren dered his opinion upon the matter of reading the Bible in the public schools, much has been said pro and con in the press of the etate. The following ex tracts from an addreES delivered by' Judge John Burnett in 1897, be fore the Benton County Bible Society, while not bearing directly Qn the ques tion, show the awful results. that follow disparagement of the Bible, and reject ment of Christianity: A little more than a century ago the French people banished the Bible and ignored Christianity and then came the French Revolution, and what a spectacle was then presented to the world, "A country without a God." The revolu tionists determined by decree to abolish Christianity. The throne was gone; the nobility had fled, or was hiding, or in prison waiting death, but a cowering farm of religion remained. The impa tient Atheists and Jacobins clamored for the desiruction of all churches, the abolition of the Sabbath, the banishment of the Bible, and the total extirpation of Christianity; just as socialists of the radical schools clamor for it today in our land. What the anarchists cry for, what the socialists of France and Ger many and America cry for, was fully realized in blood- stained France in 1793. Forever let the American people hold up before them the awful picture of warn ing and advice to be lound in the abolishing of religion in . France, con temporaneous with the horrible rule of the guillotine. The reign of terror in France filled the whole world with hor hor. A century has only had the effect to deepen and intensify the hatred and execration of mankind as the awful record is read. It presents the most tre mendous period ot butchery under pre tended legal forms that history can re veal, lis' solemn lessons read in the light of facts and truth, should impress upon humanity how weak and self de ceiving is man, when left to his own de vices, how certain the punitive; results of crime and sin, and that the only safety for a people is in obedience to those laws of mercy, justice, temperance, purity and truth, which flow forth from Sinai, and Calvary, to bestow liberty under law and the peace and prosperity and happiness of righteousness. "Bless ed is the nation," says the Bible, "whose God is the Lord." America has made a day of "Thanks giving to God" one of her permanent in stitutions, and this leaven is proving the power that is working out of her life all dangerous elements. Oar people are being unified in their interest and ex alted in their conceptions of the rights ot others, through the Gospel. There is small danger of extravagance in prais ing the Bible as every one will allow who appreciates what the Bible contains, surveys"the influence of the book in the past and knows its ludis- pensible services in awakening and supporting the life of religion ia the soul of men. The Bible not only in terprets God in his holiness and un fathomable love and pity to man ; it is the interpreter of man to himself. . Coleridge tells us that, having striven to cast aside all prejudice, he perused the books of the Old and New Testaments, each book as a whole and also as an integral part," "And need I say," he testifies, "that I have met everywhere more or leas copious sources Of trnth and power, and purifying impulses ; that I have found words for my inmost thoughts, songs for my joy, utterances for my shame and feebleness, In short, whatever fiads me bears witness for itself that it has come from a Holy Spirit, even from the same Spirit which of old entered into the prophets.'' This is not the expression of one mind alone, but from many kindreds and tongues age after age. Sir William Joaes, one of the most learned men that ever lived, said: " "I have regularly and attentively read the Holy Scriptures, and am of the opinion that this book, independent of its divine origin, contains more true sublimity, more exquisite beauty and finer strains, both of poetry and eloquence, than can be found collected from all the books that were ever written, in any age or nation. The antiquity ef the book no man doubts, and the most unstrained application of its predictions to events, long prior to their fulfilment, are no mean evidences that this book is Divine and consequently inspired." ' ..- The Bible is the reyealed law of God, and upon the law of - Nature and upon the law of revelation depends all human laws: and the divine revealed law as found only in the Holy Scriptures is a part of the original law ef Nature. This is the language of "one of the most emi nent law writers the world has ever pro duced, Audi affirm that, notwithstanding the scoffings of each eminent infidels as Ii. G. Ingersoll, without the Bible there would be Co American Republic today . It was the Pole Star of the Pilgrim fath ers, It was the guide to the framers of the declaration of independence. It was the reliance and mainstay of the Father of-his Country in the great struggle for independence. It is the corner stone of the constitution of the United St ates, and of the constitution of each state in this American Union. "Without it our courts of justice would be a mockery and the administration of justice and of an oath a farce. That Christianity has been an important factor in the develop ment of American life, no one can deny. It has done for America,, and that in a prominent degree, what it has done for every other nation into which it has been introduced. America needs Christianity just in proportion to her exaltation of the individuul, and protestant Chris tianity has taken hold of the indlvidnal and developed in him largely the idea of individi il responsibility, without whicl such a ;pu!'lican form of gove anent a3 ours woa'.d : re been an impossibility Uis;.carek .student of .history wiio cone: .des that because the Roman and Grecian republics are wrecks, the Ameri can republic will meet the same fate lor with all the power and splendor (and they far excelled the present age in paiauug ana architecture and many of me nne arts), yet they were jnoraut of the true God and his revealed law; and their governmental structures were as a neute Duilt opon the sands, but the American republic ia destined to uuutiuue lorever, ior uns is a land of churches and schoels, and the American people of a Christian "nation worship the iioa and .believe in the Holy Bible as their guide. And long after the infidels and scoffers are dost, this grand Book will be a pillar of fire to lead individuals and nations to a higher and better civili zation. The Downtowns Won. The first game of football wit nessed on the college field tkis season Tras played by two Fresh men teams Saturday afternoon An eleven from Cauthorn Hall lined, up agaiast a like number from down town. While the Cauthorn Hall boys were ereatlv outclassed, fcney put up a stub Dorn conEesi aua tne game was fast and furious. The town team scored three touchdowRs in each half with a score of xz. while thesr opponents had to be content with a goose egg, but the besfi of feeling prevailed and the spectators had as much ap plause for the losers as for the victors. Many - of them had never taken part in a game of football before, but much excel lent .material was in evidence. S&ould the board of regents de cide to permit intercollegiate games next season, the prospects are bright for a splendid team at OAC. The winners were tendered a supper at Hall's restaurant Sat urday evening by President Gatch. The Cauthorn Hall team was promised a supper by a mem ber of the faculty in the event of their winning the contest, and President Gatch evened mat ters by making the same offer to the students who lire in town. About fifteen players and subs, together with the officials in the game, enjoyed the president's hospitality. . Is Not Hasty. In 1896 Attorney W. E. Yates, of this city, was elected prosecuting attorney of this district, and in pay ment for his services in this oapao ity was obliged to accept county warrants. In this manner he ac quired some warrants on Curry ceunty. At intervals since he went out of office Attorney Yates has written down there for information regarding the payment of those warrants, but as a general thing could get bo light on the subject. A few days ago he received a pos tal card from the treasurer of Cur ry county answering a recent letter of his as to how far back the county wits in the redemption of her paper. Treasurer Winsor wrote, showing that Curry county is now getting to the front rapidly, and is redeeming her warrants to the 10th day of January, 1891. This shows the county to be just ten years behind. At this rate, Mr. Yates will have to hold his warrants about five years yet before they are redeemed. This he laughingly declared he would do.
