LASH LEY The Fulton County News has by far the largest circulation of any paper la the county a mutter of Intercut in advertiser. Edit ok ok The News: A very small space in your paper, please. The author oT the communication from here describing thu riotous conduct at the picnic at this place on the 4th of July, has this to say, that he appeals frrm tho de cision rendered by your corres pendent from here in lust week's "News," to the largo number of unbaised eye and ear wit nesses or the disgraceful scene thus described, and abide by their decision. And in reforrir.g that com in unication to them, ho roas serts'that the statements refer red to therein are true. That he was not prompted by "malice" towards any one. But in the in terests of law and order, tire these things brought t.o notice, so that a reoccurrence of them might be presented her. -en f ter. "Me ciune uml nought fruit thereon n.ud found none." Pilate, the Komuii governor, had with Htcru authority re lreKHod one of the ninny Insurrections or mobs of the Jews occuninj; ut the hcukou of their great festal gatherings lu Joimiilcin. That which seemed to nhoel; the people must deeply was the disregard oil tin; sanctity of the courts of the temple, so that Uoinaii Holdiers had rushed past the barriers In tho lartltlon balustrade which foreigners were oii penalty of death forbidden to pass mid had slain the (iulilean plot turn lu the sacred upper courts while offering sacrlllces, ho that their blood mingled with that of the beasts they were offering. . To the superstitious ones of the times it was a sigiiftluit (lod refused their sacrifices and as a mark of signal dls pleasure on their wickedness nllowec them to be su killed. !t had long been il belief that (iod would protect IPs sanctuary and all who Hod to It for refuge and would not allow any one my of Israel to violate its sacred prt ducts. The same superstitious rover ence for the Sabbaih prevented the Jews making any defense in war oil their holy day, preferring death to vio lating the command to keep It holy. Bodily ills and all physical disturl anees had come to be regarded us signs of Divine displeasure until the real working of God in the miturit world and religious life was completely mvstilled aud the true nature of even Ills ethical precepts lost under a mas of falsi' and superstitious traditions. Jesus tells them plainly that it was not pre-eminent wickedness of the (ial- lilean fanatics which was empha sized by their horrible death, but It wan a natural conseiiuenee of their disregard of their duties and the rights aud powers of orderly government. So would It lie with themselves If they did not change their own course. Tho same temper of mind nud Intention was smoldering In their breasts nnd would work the same results unless abandoned. Then comes tho parable of the text. I'ig trees ought to bear figs. That Is their true function and end. If they do not do this after proper age and care, they will be con demned as useless and removed. So Uien are lilted to do justly and right eously and conduct their lives with due regard for the rights of oilier men aud the institutions of society. If these urn violated persistently, tho transgressors will summarily suffer the conseiiuences of their warfare on con stituted authority. Human conduct Is under tho direction of law, aud govern ment Is orderly and not capricious. HeuKon aud not favoritism or fear directs In the processes of life, both human and material. Fate Is not blind chance, but orderly result from uile qtinto i a use. ' The llg tree must produce figs or go. 8o men must do right or bo removed. As to tho mode In which tho govern ing power acts, you can view It as nat ural Bcipicncc of events in unbroken chain of cause and effect merely or you cau give attention to J lie personal element back of, above and lu the whole course of events as the real uuthor. The result Is the same so far us the practical lesson for conduct is concerned. It Is llgs or lire, bear or burn, righteousness or removal. Boots and Shoes. The most reliable makes lowest prices.
