The wife Of Tie Chsssssa..

CHATEAuBRIASD, in his eloquent work
entitled ''Genie du Christianisme, has this
beautiful picture Of the wife of the Chris
tian:
''The wife Of the Christian is not a SIM
pie mortal she is a mysterious, extraordi-
nary, angelic being; the flesh of the flesh,
the blood Of the blood Of the husband.
Man, in uniting himself to her, regains a
part Of his substance; his soul, as we'll as
his body. is incomplete without his wife !;
he has strength, she has beauty he labors
in the fields, he does not understand the de-
tails Of domestic life, but his companion
prepares the repast, and her smiles sweeten
existence. He has his crosses, and the part
ner of his couch is there to soften them his
days may be sad and troubled, but in the
chaste arms Of his wife he finds comfort
and repose. Without woman, man would
be rude, gross. and solitary. Woman
spreads around him the flowers of existence,
is the creepers Of the forest decorate the ma
Iestic oak with their odoriferous garlands
Finally, the pair live united, and in death
are not separable in the dust they lay side
by side, and their souls are reunited beyond
the limits Of the tomb"

Truss nos the Morrow.

Pity it is that We cannot bring ourselves
to believe, what is so fatally true, that we
shall feel the same indisposition 10 be viz
tuouS and DENY or lus,s tomorrow that We
feel to-day, and the succeeding day as to-
morrow, and ten years hence as now 1t
is ever tomorrow, and tomorrow, and to-
morrow, or, on my next birth day, or the
beginning of the next year and when those
days come, there is the same backwardness in
the soul to do this great and pressing work.
and it is again deferred. "Now is the ac-
cepted time and the day Of salvation"
The true Christian knows not OF tomorrow.
He does not acknowledge it in his calendar
of time. 1t is the grave Of holy resolves
and good purposes, the doomsday of the
soul, and he adjures it,
Let us not count on tomorrow, nor rely
upon its opportunities. Its offers, like those
of false friend, are fair, exceeding fair
but they are treacherous, and will fail us in
our need. The work Of religion, if it ever
begin, begins to-day-never on the nor.
row.

stasis,ics Of spirit drinking In Great Britain
and ireland.

In an English exchange, lately. we observed
a curious official document in relation to the
annual consumption Of spirits in the United
Kingdom. We were hardly prepared for the
facts disclosed bv some Of the tables,
During the FIVE years ending in 1904, the aver
age consumption was as follows:
England. Scotland. Ireland. Total.
Gals 7,794,61O /, S3S, 627 3,5s3,05l 1885, 53
The average per head was-for England, near
" pints; Ireland, So; Scotland, 8.
The FIVE years ending in ls45, the average
consumption was as follows:
England Scotland. Ireland. Total.
Gals IL 4i6.l67 1891 sos 6,302, 2SS %, ,S4l
The annual average consumption per head
was--for England, 81 Pnts; for Ireland, 5s44 !;
for Scotland, considerably more than two gal
Ions. The total average consumption per head
is only small fraction greater than it was forty
wears ago. But il will he remarked, that while
Temperance has rather increased in England
and Ireland, there has been lamentable increase
Of Intemperance in Scotland, her people con-
Stunning on an average per head, OF spirits, moro
than three times as much as the Irish.
In these tables, no account. OF course, is taken
of the product Of illicit distillation; and it is
supposed that part Of this alarming increase IN
Scotland is only apparent, being the result Of
the suppression of illicit distilation, by the re-
duction Of the whskey duty.
In Ireland, the consumption of spirits had
greatly augmented during the five years ending
1899, the average per head having reached near.
w IL gallon; but the great Temperance move
m.nt under Father Matthew checked the evil,
and reduced the amount consumed, one-half.
Thus, from 1884 to 1899, Ireland consumed
,436.l27 gallons annually; but the average per
annum of consumption during the ive years
closing with 1916, was only 6,3O3 ,22S, although
the population must have increased half a mil
lion.
In view Of such fact, what Temperance

FRESH AR.-Horace Mann has well
said-"People, who shudder at flesh
wound and trickle Of blood, will confine
their children like cOnvicts, and compel
them, month after month, to breathe quaint
ties of poison 1t would less impair the
mental and physical constitutions Of our

blood from their veins, during the same
length Of time, than to send them to
breathe, for six hours in day, the lifeless

THE TWELFTH ANNUAL REPORT Of the Associa-

groes in Liberty County, Georgia.
In the district embraced in this report,
there are one hundred and twenty. five plan
tations. The number on which owners or
managers reside permanently is twenty four
those on which they reside part Of the
year, forty-one. Half of the whole have
no resident white person any part OF the
year. This shows that if the people were
so disposed, they have ample opportunity
of doing evil; and our surprise should be,
not that there are here and there trans.
gressors, but that the wicked and unprinci-
pied among them do not indulge themselves
more frequently. The number OF negroes
belonging to Sunbury Baptist Church, as
far as our returns go, is one hundred and
sixty.one: the number to North Newpor,
Baptist Church, five hundred and forty
three: the number to Midway Congrega
tional Church, three hundred and seventy

Church, thirty-one to Hinesville and Mount
Olivet Methodist Churches, twenty-one tc
South Newport and Darien Baptist Church
es, MIntosh County, four to Bryan County
Baptist Church, two: making grand tota
of one thousand one hundred and thirty
nine. The entire negro population Of ou
district by the tax returns OF 1914, was tou
thousand two hundred and twelve. Tit
number of church members is one thousand
one hundred and thirty nine, which embra
ces about one-fourth Of the whole number
A very large proportion indeed, and ma
