Baptist Church at big Woods, begin
ming on Friday the goth ult., and con
tinuing through the two following
days, it is reported to have been the
most interesting meeting of the year,
notwithstanding the small attendance
of ministers. But two ministers of
the association were present, Elders
Patterson and Willis, both of whom
were sick. DIR. w. Ii. Robert preached
on Saturday, and also on Sunday TO
the largest congregation known at that
church for very many years. Plentiful
luncheon was spread at noon each day,
and a spirit of harmony and spiritual
interest prevailed throughout. All
were pleased with the exercises and
with the sermons. There was but one
member of the Executive Board of
Home Missions in attendance, and con-
sequently no meeting of that import
ant adjunct of the association was had.

the steamer Willie was aground on
the bar at the Pass, and that the barge
could not be got ready in time. This,
to certain extent, had the effect of
keeping some away, nevertheless every
thing was ready on time, and the
steamer departed with its burden of
human freight, the Lake Charles brass
band discoursing sweet music. All
who participated in the excursion OK

the days enjoyment.

The Greatest Mistake.

Everybody is making mistakes.
Everybody is finding out afterward
that he has made a mistake. But
there can DO no greater mistake than
the stopping TO worry over a mistake
already made. Temptation is irresist-
IDLE when one has slipped on an orange
peel, or a banana skin, to turn back
and see Just where aad how he slipped.
But if a man is in a hurry to the
depot, he would do better to look out
for the next slipping place, and guard
against it, than TO turn around and
walk backward, with his eyes on the
place where he slipped last, aud bis
mind full of worry because he slipped
there. And a man would stand a
better chance Of entering his train by
letting those slipping places alone.
Forgetting those things which are
behind, includes the forgetting 10
worry over the irredeemable past" +"
Reaching forth unto those things
which are BEFORE" is the zone thing"
for every child of God to do in spite
of many mistakes which at the best
he has certainly made.

The "Peor Girls"

The poorest girls in the world are
those who never have been taught to
work. There arc thousands of them.
They have been taught to despise
labor and depend upon Others for a
living, and are perfectly helpless. If
misfortune comes upon their friends,
as il often does. their case is hopeless.
The most forlorn women on earth
belong 10 this class. It belongs to
parents to protect their daughters
from this deplorable condition. They
do them a great wrong If they neglect
il. Every daughter ought to be
taught to earn her own living. The
rich as well as the poor require this
training. The wheel Of fortune rolls
swiftly round-the rich are very likely
to become poor. and the poor rich.
Skill to labor is no disadvantage TO
The rich, and indispensable to the poor.
Well-to-do parents must educate their
children to work. No reform is more
imperative than this.
