MIR. Freeman Bray, living in John
son county, near Medow's crossing,
on the W. aud I. railroad, sent his
two little boys, JACK and Tommie,
aged respectively eight and twelve,
to the field to cut down corn-stalks.
While at work they came across two
punches Of what is called bears grass,
growing about three feet apart, and
each undertook to dig up a bunch
Jack had got his bunch nearly up,
and stopped down to pull it loose,
when his brother, who was still dig
ging, struck him on the back of his
head, knocking him down. The lit
tie fellow raised up and said: "You
didn't go to hit me, did you, Tom
ME Z" On being told no." he said
that he wanted to go to his mother,
for he was going to die. Tommie
helped his brother up, and they start
ed to the house, but before going far,
fell in tainting condition. Tommie
then ran to the house and told his
mother and sister, who started with
restoratives, but when they reached
the little fellow he was dying.

An accident occurred on the
Georgia Pacific railroad, at Douglas
vile, which resulted in the killing of
John Mabry, a negro train hand.
He was standing at the end of a
freight car when the train parted in
to two sections. This caused a. jolt,
which threw Mabry off the car on to
the track, between two box cars.
His left leg was caught by a wheel
and bones, sinews and muscles were
ground into one mass, from ankle to
hip. He was picked up from ditch
near the side of the track, and put
on the train and brought to Atlanta
and placed in the Ivy street hospit-
al, where he died in about an hour
afterward.

Bishop Turner and other leaders of
the negroes are in favor of the exodus

1. We must do our part in religious work.
The people were obliged to prepare food in
readiness to cross. Il: III When the river
was divided they were required to arrange
their columns systematically and march. God
did net carry them over. 1t is Gods province
to get things ready; to provide the materials !;
to throw open the way. 1t is mans part to avail
himself of all opportunities, and to use every
agency at hand. So, too, of salvation. We
must work it out, although God has devised it
and Christ perfected it. God gives opportun-
ity, but men must improve it, God gives ma
terials, but we must use them.
2. We notice that every great enterprise, at
tainment, success, is beset with difficulties.
Jordans must be crossed. Nearly all our most
earnest men met barriers God does not per-
previous struggles. If young man de-
cline the preliminary sacrifices, tolls and trials,
he must also forego triumph and joy and rest
Beginnings are often very discouraging, but
there is no way TO success except by overcom-
ing present difficulties. Henry Wilson's Jor-
dan was the shOebench Abraham LincoIn's, a
rail-splitting ak; Willard FiIlmore's, tailor's
goose; John Jacob Astor's, an apple-stand. Be
willing to begin down. Victory over obsta-
Giles gives strength to character and fits one
for success. and is the sure way to the Promised
Land of wealth, position, influence Let no
Jordan frighteu you. Step out boldly, aud you
will find an open highway.
3. If we bravely face obstacles they recede
and diminish. The Jordan seemed fearfal,
raging, wide, deep, impossible The people
shrugged their shoulders, trembled in limbs,
futtered at their hearts, apprehending great
peril; but when they approached the stream,
