are not going to be caught in any Demo
cratic trap that will result in the defeat
of such men as Nee. Wagner, who offer
ed himself as a sacrifice upon the alter of
his country, and whose record is clear be-
fore the eye of every voter of Washington
county, While men pirate prohibition in
our East Tennessee valleys and urgently
appeal to our ministers and christian peo-
pie who preach and pray for the same to
vote it, we think the. themselves should
refrain from the manufacture and sale of
"hard cider as a beverage and intoxi-
eating drink to the young men of our
country. There are many friends of tenn
perance in the 18th but we favor dispos-
ing of the question irrespective of the two
political parties. Any attempt to dissolve
the two political parties in the forthcom-
ing election in the State of Tennessee
would be inflnitessimal. Every sane man
unless he desires the defeat of the Re-

The Difference.


The chief difference between agreea-
bic and disagreeable people, in this
world, between those whom every
body loves and those who are loved
by nobody. is in the place given by
them respectively to self in their
thoughts, in their words and in their
actions. Those persons who give the
first place to themselves, in their inter-
course with others can not well be
pleasing to others. And those per-
sons who, lovingly, give the first place
to those whom they meet can not be
generally disagreeable, whatever they
say or do. If a person thinks of him
self, thinks of what he can say of him.
self, thinks of what the other is likely
to think of him. thinks of the impress
sion he will make on the other, he is
sure to stand in his own light, when
he meets another. But if he thinks
first of the other person, thinks of the
others good side, thinks of what he can
say that will crafty the other, or that
will help the other, and if he speaks
and acts accordingly, he is sure to be
q means of light and cheer to others.
If, in short, you find that you are COM
monty disagreeable, or are commonly
counted so-but if you are thinking Of
others than yourself, you have no
thought on this subject; SO this point
does not concern y0u.-S. s. Times.

lrreverent Testing.

Paul, in a certain place, speaks ip
terms Of disapprobation Of foolish
talking and testing. We think his
words may well be emphasized in this
country and age The bump Of rev.
erence on the American head is not
large. There is very visible tenden-
cy to lightness Of speech and irrever-
ence Of manner among us. We are
disposed to criticise the English for
their dignity and conservatism; but we
have need to ask ourselves whether our
national sense Of humor and our IT.
reverence is not producing mental
soil too shallow to bring forth those
noble, manly and holy qualities which
go towards making up great nation.
The Christian should never forget the
dignity OF his high calling, nor should
he ever disgrace himself by irreverence
or the word Of God, the Church Of
God or any thing pertaining to our
holy religion. Southern Churciiaaan.

Religion the One Thing That Makes Life
Beautiful. Useful and Happy.
The religion which comes from above
is, according to the Epistle of James,
full of "good fruits" 1t is religion
characterized by purity, peaceableness,
gentleness, mercy, without Partially
and without hypocrisy. 1t excludes all
that is "esrthly, sensual, devilish;" it
includes all that is pure and peaceable
and good. If any man will have wis
dom let him receive that which is from
above.
Religion is the one thing that makes
life beautiful and useful and happy. 1t
isthe one thing whose fruit is always
good and always abundant. Life must
be fruitful of something. If it be per-
vaded by the vivifying power of re-
ligion, it will be fruitful in all those
things which bless the individual both
in time and eternity, and through him
the race. Life, without this principle
within to develop the glorious posi-
bilities of the soul, will also be fruitful.
1t will; il must bring forth, but that
which it brings forth is not of life, but
of death. For "lust when it is con.
ceived, bringeth forth sin; and sin.
when it is finished, bringeth forth
death"
What would you that your life should
bring forthp The Scriptures tell you
that there are these two kinds Of fruit,
the one produced by the Good Spirit,
the other by the Evil. You must choose
the one or the other, and you will by
your choice make your life either a
blessing or scourge. Of course you
would not choose to bring forth the
fruits which are described rs ''earthly,
sensual. devilish;" your soul revolts at
the thought. You would abound in
those fruits which are declared to be-
long to the wisdom that is from
above" But remember that while you
delay to seek the Heavenly wisdom the
earthly, sensual spirit is spelling your
soul corrupting your thoughts and
poisoning your whole being. If you
are not bringing forth the fruits OF
righteousness. lust is conoeiving in YOU

The Right Attitude FOR One. to Assume
Toward His Fellow Beings.
No life has attained any thing like
completeness unless it issues constantly
in that Kind of helpfulness which was
one of the Divinest characteristics OF
the greatest of teachers. Every human
life is failure, no matter what its
achievements, unless it is a constant
force making for the well-being OF
other men and women. There never
was and there never can be such q
thing as a great life isolated from So
ciety and lived alone; for the end of all
true living involves this kind OF fruit.
fitness, as truly as the end of the seed
which makes the harvest involves the
grain which sustains and nourishes
the world. 10 have this spirit of help
fitness, end to manifest it, lies, I'M
doubtedly, within the purpose of most
men and women; he only realizes
it on a large scale in whom
it becomes the most prominent
characteristic of his life. They make
great mistake who suppose that
this helpfulness requires large means
or high position or unusual opportuni-
ties. These things are all valuable and
invaluable to those who know how to
use them; but they are never essential
to really helpful character and career;
that which is essential, and that which
lies within the eye and reach of every
human being, is the spirit of helpful
ness, the controlling desire to SO live
as to make other lives easier, happier
and more useful He who would set
out to show his helpfulness only by a
series of definite acts might do some
good, but this good would be small
compared with that which would be
accomplished by one whose whole life
lent itself, through the unconscious ac-
ton Of its own spirit, to ministration
to other lives Most people feel that
they must live their own lives first, and
whatever margin of time, strength,
influence or money they may
possess may then be given to others.
This puts self first and makes help.
fulness secondary, and this is not the
true attitude. Life must begin with
the idea that it is to be lived for others,
and that, not its margin, but its best
strength and its best energy, must be
put into that kind of service. He who
feels this will not need to seek fol
opportunities Of making his feeling
known; they will come to him un
sought and, for the most part, uncon
sciously. The moment one assumes
this attitude toward his fellow-men hi
begins to minister to them by thought
by word and by action. The spiri
that rules him will reveal itself tx
