TIME COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, N. c., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States while it is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentally broken at any time, we can replace 1t at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is home production, button account of its intrin-
sic merits as an article Of household economy, do
we ask the patronage Of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND Of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we

GROWTH IN GRACE.

Such is the order of heaven, that every
human being enters this world in the capaci-
ty of babe. The giant, whose muscular
strength is enormous, was once tiny babe,
weak and dependent. The same is absolutely
true respecting those who enter the kingdom
of heaven. All are born Of the spirit, and all
are born spiritual babes in Christ Jesus. So
soon as the sinner is regenerated by the al
mighty power Of Gods spirit, he believes, and
God gives him title to heaven; but he is
not fit in body and soul for a seat at Gods
right hand. A long period of time may in
tervene, and lie may be called to pass through
the fire and water after receiving q title to
heaven before his fitness for it is complete.
This preparation for his new home is called
growth in grace. TO accomplish this work
God, in his grace, has made ample provisions.
He has established church upon earth, and
given his spirit to his people to lead and guide
them into all truth The end of all things, to
the believer, is heaven. Everything points
to the New Jerusalem as his happy home
God, by all his dealings with his believing
people, removes the filth Of sin from their
souls rs the refner removes the dross from
the gold. They are kept in this vale of tears
until the last remnant Of sin is taken away,
and then the believer is taken to heaven to
spend an eternity of holiness and happiness
at Gods right hand.
Growth in grace consists in becoming like
Jesus. God made man in his own image; but
man, by his sin, destroyed the likeness which
existed between the creature and the Creator.
Jesus came into the world to redeem sinners
with his own blood, and restore the likeness
of God in the believers soul. If any one is
desirous to know whether he is growing in
grace, the fact can be learned by examining
into his words, thoughts and actions. If
these are like the words, thoughts and actions
of Jesus, then he is growing in grace. Grow
ing in grace and becoming like Jesus, means
the very same thing. Hence, the Psalmist
says 81 will set the Lord always before my
face" To the believer, Jesus Christ is the
pattern to which he conforms in everything.
What Jesus did he desires to do, and what
Jesus did not, he desires not to do. This is
growing in grace. This is making prepara-
tion for heaven.

SIN AND SUFFERING.

God always Furnishes sin. This is rule to
which there is no exception. Sin and suffer
ing stand related as cause and effect. Every
pang that is suffered by any creature, has its
cause in sin. The sin of man has changed
the whole aspect of the physical world. 1t
fills this world with race of miserable COM
planners, and it consigns to hopeless woe
thousands of the human family. The only
way to escape the legitimate consequences of
sin, is to accept of Jesus Christ as a days
man. Christ freely offers himself as surely
for the sinner. Every one who accepts Christ
will escape the consequences of sin; and every
one who will not accept of him, must suffer
in soul and body. There is no other way to
escape All are sinners, and all must suffer
or accept Of Christ as Il Saviour.

MUSIC HATH CHARMS, &C.

MYTH pleasure inform all who desire to give
w their children chance for a musical edu-
cation, but whose means are very limited, that
have made arrangements with the celebrated
"Mason & Hamlin Organ Co.," to supply persons
with their unrivaled instrument, either at lowest
factory prices, for cash. or on monthly or quar-
terly payments, upon what's called the lease prin-
ciple. Thus any one by paying only moderate
sum for the use of the instrument, can, at any
time, give it up or become purchaser; the amount
already paid being. applied to the purchase. Or a
person having paid the rent for four years, be-
comes the owner Of the Organ without further
payment. Call and enquire for particulars and
see the new styles, at my Photo gallery, in the
Adckes' building, where may be found during
all business hours, either to show you sample or
to wait upon you if you want anything in the
Photographic line as heretofore.

asked Uncle Clarence, one evening, as he laid

TEMPTATION.

Every one who has any Christian expert
ence, is conscious Of the fact that he is con-
stantly assailed by Satan, the world and the
flesh. The regenerated man is tempted as
the mere man of the world is not The glo-
ries Of the world seem more desirable; the
lusts of the flesh seem to grow stronger, and
the promises of Satan harder to be rejected
after conversion than before it, This seems
strange, but it is nevertheless fact With
out proper reflection, we might be led to con-
clude that all this is contrary to the promises
of God. Such, however, is not the case. God
does not promise to release US in moment
from the power Of Satan. He does promise
every believer in Christ, that His grace shall
be sufficient for him.
Two reasons may be assigned for the many
temptations and trials through which Chris
tians are called to pass. Satan, the world
and the flesh, have, by the redeeming grace of
God, been thwarted in their designs, and
each and all of them summon their remaining
strength and make desperate effort to re-
claim what they have lost They are, like
lioness robbed of her whelps, furious. The
unsanctifed heart is restive under the res
training grace of God. 1t despises law and
order, and loathes obedience to its precepts.
The other reason is, God would teach us by
subjecting US to temptation, that our saliva
ton wholly depends upon him. If the Chris
tian were not subjected to any temptations,
and never permitted to backslide, he would
conclude that by his own unassisted power,
he prepared himself for heaven. The Chris
tian is permitted to sin, not because there is
anything good in sin, but that he may see it
clearly demonstrated in his own life that
whatever of goodness there is in him, is all of
God. The experience of Gods people con-
firms this. David was a more devout man
after his backslidings than he was before he
sinned. Had he not gricvously sinned, he
would not have rose from his bed seven times
during the night to praise God. 1t is sad to
see man backslding; it is fearful thing to
see Christian yielding to the temptations of
Satan; but bad as it is, it may be the fore
runner of season of great revival in his
soul. We are not warranted in rushing into
forbidden paths ; neither is it any part of our
duty to do evil, that good may come. 1t is
the sole prerogative Of God in Christ Jesus to
bring light out of darkness, order out of con-
fusion, and good out Of evil. When God
puts US in the crucible and subjects us to a
purifying process, our duty is to be made
pure. Our constant prayer should be, "Lead
us not into temptation, but deliver us from
evil"
