Since wre last met he has preached both in Florida and Southern Kentucky. He is now eradiating from New Castle, and as of old “ on the wring.” There are few brave enough ta act upto their own' convictions, especially if such actions will cause pecuniary loss. ThostLwho do not, can never prosper morally. A true moral’ (spiritual) hero is the noblest work of God. If one trulv loves God • there need * be, no fears as to his devotion This is the great want of the church. Let us labor with tongue and pen, not to air our opinions, vaunt our soundness, hunt heretics, or accuse our brethren, but encourage the cultivation of spirituality. Bro. Higbee wants agents to aid him in his tract foork. Let some I active brother or sister in every congregation assist this important work. We surely do not appre ciate Bro. H.’s efforts to assist us in preaching the gospel cheaply and effectively. Address J. W. Higbee, Madisonville, Ky. The fear has been expressed that the spirit of liberality, now so prevalent, would soon prevent a man who preached “ sound doc- tTine” from getting a chnreh, a s-------- - though the getting a church to preach for .was a preacher’s end and aim. It is to be feared that there is too much “gospel peddling” in the land. When preachers have no higher idea of success than to get churches that will • support •* them, they have not the slightest conception of their mission. Sumo one recently - made assertion that when you heard a minister say, “ Preach love,” you may be sure that he is unsound, and unsafe. This is a very reckless and harmful statement, contrary to the teachings of Christ and the apostles. Love is the great motive power in the church. The Scrip ture says, “ God is love,” and he who objects to preaching love ob jects to preaching God. Is it not alarming whem the " most straight- est ” sect of our religion oppose the preaching of God (love)? O shades of Pharisee and Saddusee I One of -our papers objects to preaching love. How any sane man with the slightest conception of religion can make such an objec tion is beyond our power of concep tion. The bare idea of condemning the very practice we most need, is. startling. The entire redemptive system is conceived and carried out in love. “ God is love.” When one B. B. Tyler and A. I. Hobbs are preaches love, he preaches God. regular contributors to the Southern But our objector wants one to Herald, Louisville.

We have no evidence that any man among us, of any promi nence loves 'power,' There is no necessity for this continual cutting one another. It-is Tight to discuss all these questions in a brotherly spirit; but when the motives of the best men among us are com stantly impugned’it is a great evil. Let us study humiliation and brotherly love, subjectively. i U
