“The Jews who returned after i^° Regent complaining
the captivity were a feeble folk
in point of numbers, but strong
in courage and faith. They were
soon destined to meet serious op-
position. The heads of the
tribes who were in that section
arrayed themselves against the
Jews and accused them of a con-
spiracy against the king. When
this failed through the decree of
against the council of Trent. On
seeing the embarassment of the
prince, said, ‘They are but a
company of beggars.’ Where-
upon they adopted the name,
hung a beggar’s wallet about
their necks and marched against
the legions of Spain, and
throughout the Hollands, the
name of ‘beggar’ was a word to
the king himself, authorizing ’ con,iure with.
their work, an invitation was
sent to Nehemiah and his compa-
“When Christ was on earth,
many of the 'sublimest truths
ny to submit the matter to arbi- j concerning him were spoken as
tration. When he replied to this j epithets. He was called the ‘car-
offer that they were engaged in a j penter’ and assuming the name,
great work and could not leave
it, they were met with ridicule on
the part of Sanballat and his as-
sociates. The strongest weapon
of the anti-Christ is ridicule and
derision. Now we are no longer
in danger of the fagot, the axe
or the dungeon, but we are in
danger of being laughed down.
“In the 18th century, a band
of young men, joined themselves
together in the University of Ox-
ford for the purpose of religious
study and investigation. They
were promptly dubbed, “The Ho-
ly Club.” Yet they went smil-
ing on Iheir wTay. When they
were out in the world, carrying
their teachings into every day
life, th9 epithet of “Methodist”
gave dignity to labor and became
the champion of the Third Estate.
Christ was called ‘the friend of
publicans and sinners,’ and he
calls Matthew the publican to be-
come his disciple, and said to
Magdalene ‘Go in peace. Thy
sins are forgiven thee.’
“Crowned with thorns, the
populace bowed before him in
mock obeisance and cried, ‘Hail
thou King of the Jews,’ and Ho
has walked with regal tread
through history and for two
thousand years he ha3 been wor-
shipped as King of Kings and
Lord of Lords.
“Great men can turn the
weapons of the enemy to their
own use. He whose heart and
was hurled at them. Among these conscience is filled with high and
holy purposes
opposition.
“Because we have opinions
which have gone down into
our hearts and formulated, we
are bigots and fanatics. Accord-
ing.to Webster, a bigot is one
who is stubborrily wedded to a
principle or belief. You believe
God to oe a personal God, a fa-
ther with eyes to see, a heart to
pity and and a hand to help. Are
we to join the ranks of the scien-
tific men who look upon Him as
an all pervading force, as some
intangible and unknowable thing
without ourselves? Because we
believe Christ to be the manifes-
tation of God, made in his image
who said, ‘He who hath seen
me, hath seen the Father,5 are
we then bigots and fanatics?
You believe the Bible to be in-
spired, the only guide to heaven.
Yet when you are unable to agree
to the claims of higher criticism
that it is only inspired in places,
you are dubbed a narroAV minded
fanatic.
“Do not be afraid of being call-
ed a Puritan? The Puritans were
the best people of their age. We
can overlook their strictness on
certain points when we remember
the looseness of the morals of
that day. The Puritans stood for
the sanctity of the moral law and
conformity to the Sabbath day.
“The church of today is con-
demned as being too narrow. If
they were to spread out and in-
clude all the dancers and all the
oard players and all the sinners,
they would indeed be broad.
“Earnestness and energy is en-
couraged in everything else but
] religion. In religion it is called
fanaticism.
“What matters it if you a^e
called Puritans and fanatics?
Stand fast and have faith in God.
Ihe only way to Heaven is the
1 royal way of the cross. Let the
can rise above iove of Christ be our actuating
motive and do your duty. God
wiii do the rest.”
We Never Lose Meat.
We, the undersigned, cheerful-
ly testify to the good effects of
using Dr. Burreli’s Preservene.
We have tried the preparation
and found it will cure meat just
as claimed. A 50 cent box, if
used when first salted down after
killing, will preserve 500 lbs. of
meat for at least a year (if not
used in the mean time.) We
know from actual experience that
hot weather has no effect what-
ever on meat cured with the aid
of Preservene. From first to last
it retains the same freshness. No
sign of taint and a marked ab-
sence of the strong, briney taste
so common in summer.
We unhesitatingly reccommend
the use of Preservene as a tried
and sure method of curing pork
or beef in any form.

Judge Acker has had his lots
which he purchased some time
since from Col. Stringfellow,
fenced with a neat substantial en-
closure. He now owns the en-
tire block upon which his resi-
dence is located, and it is among
the beet property in the city.
Miss Nina Allen, of Cotula, is
among the visitors to Lampasas,
and is stopping for a time with
Mr. and Mrs. W. T. Renfro.
Joe Willis, of Waco, spent sev-
eral days here recently, visiting
at the home ofJ. H* Price, just
west of the city limits. He was a
schoolmate of the children of that
family and they enjoyed his visit
very much.
The Passing Show.
The aggregation known .as the
Duncan Clark Female Minstrels
came in Sunday and gave an ex-
hibition at the Library Hall Mon-
day night. There had been con-
siderable adverse criticism of
these people before their arrival
here, and both Mr. Craft, who has.
charge of the house, and the la-
dy managers of the association
were wary about allowing •the
show .to appear. However, the
objections were overcome and
the exhibition was vigorously ad-
vertised and all adverse criticism
thoroughly ventilated and favor-
able notices widely circulated.
When the doors were opened, a
fair attendance of men showed
up to witness the show, and to
their honor be it said, not a lady
appeared. Those who attended
the exhibition say that it was
nothing mo:e than a burlesque
and take-off, with specialties such
as appear at many of the shows,
circuses, etc. The ladies acted
wisely, however, in refusing to
endorse with their presence any
show which had been under the
interdictation of public opinion of
their sex in other places.
H. Fiach, of Evant, was among
the visitors last week, and stated
that his mill had arrived and that
he is now prepared to do almost
any character of grinding for the
neighbors.
There is much more sickness
in town than is usual, but so far
as the Leader is informed there
is no case of serious illness in
any part of Lampasas, town or
county.
B. Armstrong and wife have
closed their residence which they
have occupied for several years
just north of L, H. Baggett’s
