CUtmnra Sun American journalism is very frequently and very justly criticised for sensational methods and 'low moral standards, and much is said and writ ten by those who are supposed to represent a higher plane of religious and ethical thought In regard to the nt rofrirminff and elevating the press, cut wnne aominnm of these criticisms, there is one phase of the subject which seems to have escaped the attention of these moralists, and that is the example that is set the sensational newspapers by some of the very classes of people who undertake to lecture the press on Its shortcomings Sensationalism and offenses against good manners and good ta3te are not unfortunately, confinul to journalism, and when we come to consider the question of relative responsibility, may it not be just possible that the sensational tendencies for which the newspapers are so freely censured are to be found in quarters which should furnish a better example? For illustration, take two recent pulpit instances. The first occurred in Brooklyn last Sunday. Governor Mc-Klnley of Ohio, happened to be to Brooklyn that day, and attended a well-known church with a member of its congregation wlthJ.

whom he was staying. The minister was pleased to see so distinguished a citizen present, and 1 he arose nd, looking toward the pew in which the Governor sat, said: 'I could not for give myself, and I feel sure the mem- bers of my congregation would not or elve me If I fa.i f.fl tn say that wo have worshiping with us this morning one of the most eminent statesmen of the day. I feel constrained to say that we have in our congregation that eminent Christian statesman, Governor William McKinley of Ohio." At these words, which soundpd Tint unlike the language used by the presiding officer at a political meeting in introducing the orator of the day, the cuugreBauun DroKe into a ringing cheer, while some of the members clapped their hands and others waved their handkerchiefs. Mr. McKinley was not called upon for a speech on the recent Republican victory in Ohio, or an address on protection from a scriptural standpoint, but as sooa as the congregation was dismissed the members rushed up to his pew and forced him to hold an impromptu reception.

The second instance is reported from an Ohio, town, where a minister is alleged to have "preached a sensational sermon Sunday night on ganrbling, in which he. showed how bunco men do the three-card-monte trick. The sermon had been extensively advertised and the house was jammed. He denounced all gamblers, and said it was a notorious fact that police in large cities receive bribes to allow gambling places to run. In performing the card trick, which he did with all the cleverness of one of the fraternity, he used three white cards.

In the first part of his sermon he denounced newspapers for publishing details of It has been the prevailing impression hitherto that people went to church to worship the Almighty, and not to honor individuals, and that It was the mission of the pulpit to preach the truths of the Bible, not to glorify men. St. Paul, who was considered something of a preacher In his day, had a number of distinguished men among his nTh'e -cord'eT tlatT' ever in t- i.i and said like a Brooklyn preacher: "Brethren; I feel constrained to say. that we have in our congregation today an eminent Christian statesman from Athens, a celebrated soldier from Rome, tir a learned 'Hebrew, from The principal thing that he felt compelled to say on such occasions was, love of ChrlBt constralneth me," and "Woe is me If I preach not the' gospel," and It was not the gospel of politics in general or protection in particular to which he referred. of John the Baptist, when he was preaching in the wilderness the doctrine of repentance to the multitudes that "had poured out 'from the cities to hear him, closing Ills discourse by "I feel constrained to say that we have In our congregation some eminent Pharisees and Sadducees who have honored us by their presence to- day, and to whom we ought to offer a little reception, now mat i nave done denouncing you and your He did see some distinguished men In his Congregation, but what he felt constrained to say to them generation of vipers, who hath warned you to flee from the wrath to come."

1 On Thanksgiving Day the Jewish congregation at Demopolis will dedicate their handsome new temple. Rabbi E. S. Levy of Selma will preach the consecration sermon. Notwithstanding the hard times the faithful few in Demopolis determined to have a handsome building in which to worship and give thanks for the many blessings they have received- and this new synagogue Is the result Next Thursday will be a day of thanksgiving in reality to this congregation.

A correspondent of The Huntsville Mercury says the services just closed at Gurley were largely attended every day by enthusiastic audiences. The services were conducted by Revs. J. W. Walker and J.

T. Barbee. More than sixty professions were made, and a general revival of religious interest was awaken in the community. The protracted meeting which has been in progress at Alco closed last Sunday night One of the features of the meeting was a female preacher, ions such as that in the eighth century, of Bulan. Prince of the unasare, iwiuj his entire people.

We can, therefore, not be said to be a distinct race We form no separate nation and no nt onvniMnn. We form merely; and independent religious We are often charged with exclusive-i ness and clannlshness, with having only harrow, tribal aspirations and with be social bar riers. Few outside of that inner close! circle that is to be met in the jewisn home or social group know aught of the Jew's domestic happiness and social virtues. If there is any cleannishness In the Jew, it is due not' to any contempt for the outside world, tout to an utter. abandon to the charm of home aaHnaHnn rf nnnfreres in rhsugnt ana sentiment there Is a remnant of exclusiveness in- 1 the Jew of today, Is he to blame for It? niil he create the social barrier? The fact that Jews are, as a rule averse to' intermarriage with non-Jews, has been, quoted in evidence of Jewish excluslve-ness.

The historical fact is that the Roman Catholic council, 'held at Orleans' In 533 A C. E. first prohibited Chris-: tians to intermarriage with Jews. This, decree was later enforced by meting out the penalty of death to both parties to such a union. Jewish rabbis, as a matter of selfproteotion, interdict-i the practice of And t-ugh today men are free to act ac-i cording to their taste, there exists on the part of the Jew as much repugnance of intermarriage as on the part of the, Christian.

Such ties are, as a rule, not encouraged by the families of either side, and for very good cause. urn. T.intcm ttnoi-stnnri hv even educated men outside of our ranks that it is commonly believed tnat an Jews have the same form of faith and JJHtUWUt m'lt 111 Toun, t0 whtch reference has al- teaiy been made 05 Df the character of the Jew as an 1na.1v10.ua1 Btlll Den Villi Hi we ui ti ou. Messiah, or in bodily resurrection, or in the establishment of a Palestinian kingdom, the inference is at once drawn by many that all Jews hold the same belief. Very little is known by the populace of the several schisms in modern Judaism denominated as orthordoX, conservative, reform and radical.

It Is not my province to speak exhaustively of these sects, and it must suffice to merely remark here that othodox no po3itlve quantity, and that there are irreconcilable differences dividing the various sects, I will say that all Jews agree on essentials and declare their belief in the unity and spirituality of God, fn the effiaaoy of religion for spir itual' regeneration and for ethical im provement, in the universal law of compensation according to which there are reward and punishment, either here or hereafter, in the final triumph of truth, and fraternity of all men. It may be briefly stated that the Decalogue forms the constitution of Judaism. According to Moses, the prophets, and the historical-interpretation of Judaism, whoever believes and practices the "Ten Commandments" is a Jew. The meagre results achieved by missionaries and tracts have proved how futile are all efforts to convert the Jews. The Jew, is tolerant r-y nature, tolerant by virtue of his relidous teaching.

TTO hplfaVAa In llnnrln he claims for himlf. the neht to worfc out nis own salvation and make his own peace with He has only one Important request to make of Christian teachers and preachers, namely, that they desist from teaching their school children and congregations the prevail-Ing error that the Jews have crucified Jesus of Nazareth. Because of this great error the believing world looks upon the Jew through an imperfect medium, one that Marges faults and minimizes virtues. It is this error which has caused so much prejudice, bitter hatred and unjust persecution. If it were once corrected the way would be opened for the correction of many other errors.

Now is the great opportunity of the age for rectifying it. Let tjhe truth be told to the world by the assembled parliament of rpliirinna ih not the Jews but the "Romans crucified the great Nazarene teacher." CHURCH DIRECTORY. Court Street Methodist Church J. W. Rush.

Received Here Since September BIk Receipts LiiKt Week. The cotton crop movement last week Showed an improvement over that of the week previous and the same week for the corresponding time last year. Shipments for the past week were 8,998 bales, against 6.380 bales for the same week last year.

The stock on hand shows a considerable increase over the stock for the same day last year. Receipts for the past week were 7,876 bales, against 5.260 bales for the same week last season, an excess of 2.616 bales in favor of the past week. Total receipts since Sept. 1st, 85.179 bales, against 72,142 bales for the corresponding period last year. These figures show that Montgomery has received 13,037 bales more so far this season that were received last year for the same period.

While cotton is accumulating rapidly, the price seems to stand about the same very low value. Spots brought 7 cents yesterday. STUDENTS MUM to arrive: at the Alabama business colleue. The Alabama Business College, under its new management continues to receive hew students daily. Profs.

A CLIMATE TEMPERED By the Knro Slvo (lives Health to ThOUMLBdll.

The Coast Range of mountains runiiiug southward from iust below San Frau- to Mouterev. in California, a dis- tauce of about 100 miles, has all the requisites of a splendid sanitarium. The sununiW of the range vary iu altitude from 1.500 to 3.500 feet, and are from six to nfieeu miles "as the crow ilies" frvm the ocean, or on the south, Monterey Bay. At this distauce from the coast the keen ocean winds are tempered, their sharp edge taken off, and they become genial and refreshing. Much of the range is covered by forests of gigantic redwoods and firs, with occasional opeuiues where the oak.

laurel and the picturesaue madrone are found. These forests continue, on the western slope, almost to the ocean, and on the east run far out on the foothills. The influence of ihe ocean with its great Jauan current, the Kuro Sivo, gives to this region a temperature more equable than is found in any other part of the State. The thermometer rarely falls below 32 degrees in winter, and in summer, even at midday, it seldom reaches 85 degrees. The nights are always cool and refreshing, and it is an ideal place for good sleeping.

The air is free from malaria, is freighted with the healing balsamic odors of the firs, pines and redwoods, and when freely inhaled on a clear morning it stimulates like wine. The ocean fog while crossing the lower lands, are generally entangled in the evergreen tree tops, and held there, making for the observer, at an elevation of-from 1,500 to 2.000 feet the picture of a great fog ocean, with its ever changing billows roiling ultong. Such a picture once seen, especially when flooded by a glorious moonlight, wil never be forgotten. At the elevation referred to, the air is always rare and generally dry, two conditions very favorable to persons af-feriug from any pulmonary disease. Asthma and catarrh are at once relieved, and in many eases entirely disappear, while the progress of bronchitis and con-sumo don is at once arrested.

Here, too. is enough to keep the mind continually and very pleasantly occupied, and important consideration in a health resort. The scenery is magnificent, if one can. travel, ever changing. Here are found in their perfection, the colossal redwood cathedral that so impress every beholder.

Around the former standing place of some forest giant, now crumbled to dust, have sprung up innumerable root-shoots, forming a thick and sometimes almost impenetrable hedge, in circular form, the enclosure varying from thirty to sixtv feet in diameter. The stronger shoots, somewhat, dwarfing the others, towering aloft, "have' become themselves great forest trees; and they form an immense cathedral, solemn and still within, surrounded bv living towers and minarets, almost as tall. and far more graceful than any ever reared bv the hand of man. Are these not "The that were God's first temples? The mounKains have an abundance, of pure cool water, and all through them mineral soringu abound whose waters, for medicinal pureosu, mnoai, if they are ana it ls said she drew large crowds. There were thirty accessions to the church, and the membership was revived and enthused and the entire community set upon a higher and nobler plane of duty and work.
