THE MORMONS.

The Mormon Elders or Latter Day Saints
are carrying on their work of proselyting
boldly. They seem to prefer the neigh
borhood around the factories. Cannot the
ministers of the gospel do something in
the way of controverting their rapidly ex-
panding influences? The outgoing trains
on the Georgia railroad Sunday morning
are generally crowded with believers of
the new faith, who go up to GrovetoWn
and then off into the country in short
direction, to where the elders preach and
baptize. They have, it is reported, made
great headway in spreading their doc
trines, and in many cases entire families
have embraced their teaching. Two of
the saints are Women.-AaguStG Chronicle,
10th ultinao. ....... r...
1t is little too late to cry out for the
ministers of the gospel to help after the
devil has grabbed you. Though minis
ter of the gospel should rise from the dead
and exhort the wayward and impenitent
to repent, they would not hear him. Rich
mond county and Augusta are not unlike
other places. They have fine churches in
the cities and rich neighborhoods. Preach
ers in fine raiment, loving their ease,
preach to established congregations. Busi-
ness men, who belong to the church, think
they do their full duty when they attend
church once on Sunday and pay their share
of the church expenses. The business men
who care little for churches lounge around
hotels, bar.rooms and private poker rooms
on Sunday, rather than 60 to church.
They make light of all religious worship.
There is little effort made to carry the gos-
pei to the dark corners of the country. If
it is done at all, it is in such bungling
and perfunctory way that the outcasts offs so.
ciety become disgusted. Your kid-gloved
preachers, with stylish wardrobe, cannot
reach the backwoods. Consequently the
backwoods, whether in city suburbs or in
the dark corners of the country, will glad
ly receive the Mormon elders when they
come along. These elders are plain people
and generally pretty we'll informed. They
put themselves on an equality with the
people, and they get an influence over
them. The Chronicle is about thirty years
too late in crying out for help from the
pulpit. The work should have begun
when the present converts were children.
If our people are to be saved from Nor
monism and all sorts of isms, the church
must get down off its stills, lay aside its
eminent respectability and 60 to work to
save the poor, ignorant, the depraved of
society.-,Spartandurg Spartan.

RUNNING INTO DEBT.

So common is the habit of borrowing or
getting things on credit that the average
young man thinks no more concernedly OF
doing it than if it was recognized and
honorable business privilege. Rev. Robt.
Collyer, D. D., in his admirable "Talks to
young Men," makes the following whole
some remarks on this subject:
II know of few things in our life 80 full of
peril to young man as running into debt.
It has done more damage to our finest
manhood than any other thing I can think
of, except drinking whisky and to good
many men there is no danger from that,
even 80 long as they stand free from the
curse of debt. Buta man is driven into the
second evil often by trying to forget the
first, or to abate its burden. 1t is not true,
as we might imagine, that only those Of a
poor and shiftless sort drift into debt. The
worst of the curse is that it so very often
takes our choicest young men captive, and
drags them down to this shame-young
men of genuine honesty, so far as good
intentions 60 when they set out in life. 1t
is like thread ofgolden wire, so fine they
do not see it at first or feel it !; but day by
day other threads are bound about them
and these twist themselves at last into a
cable from which they find it very hard
and bitter work to get free. Do not spend
money you cannot we'll spare. Ifyou buy
Bible even, you cannot afford to buy
just then, you wander to where the wires
are set, and may do more harm to your
self than the Bible will ever do you good.
Nay, will say more than this. If you
so misread your Bible as to trust God will
take care of you when you ought to take
care of yourself in this most sacred bus
mess of paying as you 60, you had better
sell your Bible at the first old bookstore,
and buy Poor Richards Almanac or
THE Autobiography of Benjamin Frank
lin I like that word of sound divine
who says that next to the grace of God,
paying our debts right along is the means
of grace in the world to deliver US from
thousand snares. Do not run into debt,
then. Save, that you may spend. DO
what a true man may to provide things
honest in the sight of all men. Owe no
man anything, in this noble way, and
then you will make all men your debtors
for the sterling and noble example you set
to the world about YOU"

and therefore the hypothesis of evolution as
believed by the Rev. James Woodrow cannot
be regarded as in conflict with the teaching of
the Scriptures. s... ..a
8. The Westminster standards simply re-
produced, without Interpretation, the state
ment of the Scriptures in reference to the crea-
tion of Adams body, and as the views of the
complaint are not in conflict with tthei state
ments of the Scriptures neither eaq tbay be
with its teachings. oujf,e,Is I
4. The action Of the Assembly, refusing to
sustain the complaint, is equivalent to pro-
nouncing certainly false the theory of evolu-
tion as applied by DR.. Woodrow to Adams
body, which is purely scientific question, en-
tirely foreign to the legitimate sphere of eccle-
siastic jurisdiction. Your protestants are un-
willing thatths General Assembly should ex-
press any opinion respecting the hypothesis Of
evolution, or any other scientific question.
Speaking of the effect of the vote upon
DR.. Woodrow's spirits, the Baltimore
american of May 2Sth says: " ..~
"Dr. Woodrow left for Washington last
night, and from there will proceed to he
University of South Carolina, where he
will resume his duties. He seemed in
good spirits after the vote and said that
while, of course, he thought the action of
the Assembly was wrong taking every
thing into consideration; the case hadfter-
minated as favorably for him as he had
anticipated. He had expected to receive
not less than twenty votes nor more than
thirty, so that his vote was larger than he
had hoped for. Many of those, he said,
who had voted for him this time had on
all past occasions voted against him, and
he took this as hopeful sign that the op.
position was leavening little. He spoke
in very appreciative language of the per-
feet courtesy and fairness with which the
Assembly had treated him throughout,
according him everything that it was pos
sible for them to do. This had not been
always the case, and that, too, he regarded
as an indication that the number of those
was increasing who would incline favora-
bly, to the teachings which he felt 80 safe
ly assured were right and true. He had
no other plans, he said, beyond his work
at the University, and the action of the
Assembly did not touch or affect him in
any sense Whateyer,O

THE ACTUAL Loss IN BATTLE.-As re-
CARDS the number killed in regiments, the
prevailing ideas are indefinite or incorrect,
seldom approaching the truth. Nor are
these errors confined to civilians alone !;
they are prevalent among the officers and
men who were there and would be sup
posed to know. All this is largely due to
the reckless and careless statements too
often made regarding such losses. The err
ror is a somewhat excusable one, as nei-
ther officers nor men have the means of
knowing the actual loss in every engage
ment. They remember, perhaps, the OFF,
cial reports of their colonel as rendered at
the close of certain battles, but not at all
of them. These casualty reports, as given
in, are divided into killed, wounded and
missing, the latter term generally includ.
ing the captured. Many of these wounded
and missing return; some of them during
their absence die in hospitals or military
prisons; nothing is definitely known about
them at the time; 80 the tendency is to
consider only the total of these casualties,
and in time to think Of them as all killed
or lost.-Col. William r. F0r in the Cent,t-

LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE.-There is
no such sure method of keeping the health
as to look on the bright side of life and to
keep as cheerful as possible. Of course
there are sore trials in this world, and
they. come~tx .alEtof us soon or late,- but
until they do come look only on the
bright side of life. To be always looking
for sorrow will make the very strongest
among US weak. Take the world easily !;
take time for rest and enjoyment, and
there will be less need for doctors. The
human mind can only bear so much strain,
and happy he who has the good sense to
learn how far he can 60 with safety. Nei-
ther can person be cheerful and healthy
who has nothing with which to occupy
himself. The more varied the work, so
much more pleasure is there to be found in
it; but even if it is one dreary grind, try
to be cheerful over it and it won't seem so
dreary. Seek to find all the good there is
to be found in life and look only for the
best traits in human beings. If it seems
all but impossible to find any bright side
to things, keep on trying to believe there
is bright side and you will surely find it.

SONS AND MOTHERS.

A writer in one of our recent magazines
brings some very heavy charges against
his sex of inappreciation and irreverence
for women, the reason of which one need
not 20 very far to find. The first woman
boy knows much about is his own moth
er. If she is unframed, ignorant, incapa-
BILE, unable to instruct him in elementary
matters, how is it possible that he should
feel toward her genuine respect and rever-
ence? How is It possible that he should
not take her as fair sample of all her sex,
and thus regarding her, his remarks to
other boys concerning girls and women
will reflect his views on the subject with
tolerable accuracy.
But suppose lad makes his first ac-
auaintance with his letters, with science,
mathematics. philosophy, through his
mother; suppose hers is the hand that leads
him into fields of research, Of application,
of industry; suppose that in all his studies
at school and at college, he can come to
her with his problems and difficult ques-
tions, and find in her guide, companion,
and friend, how is he ever to speak OF
woman with irreverence and disrespect,
even though he finds the majority of
women far inferior to his mother?
Only as the mother becomes the framer
of her sons mind and character, Of his
immortal powers, no less than of his phys
ical powers, can she acquire q permanent
and controlling influence oyer him. 1t is
not enough to feed him properly, clothe
him suitably, to provide necessaries for
his body; she must become his intellectu-
al and spiritual guide and companion, or
her influence over him will be compara-
lively slight. .,.-... ,.,..., !,
Whether men and boys shall respect and
reverence women or not depend very
much on women. Mrs. Somerville found
no lack of respect in the highest circles Of
scientists in Europe. Miss Maria Mitchell
is spoken slightly of in no astronomical or
other high circle. Garfield honored his
mother because he couldn't help it; so did
Horace Greeley; so did George Washing
ton. The list of, noble and learned men
who have found able and delightful COM
panionshiD with their wives and daugh-
ters is a long one. Cicero and Tullia, Sir
Thomas Moore and Margaret--all the world
have heard of the friendship, between
these fathers and daughters.
What Napoleon said of the French peo-
pie is true of every nation-a nation to be
great must have great mothers. 1t is not
an unworthy motive in our young women
at school that they should study with the
direct purpose of training themselves to
be intelligent and able mothers, qualified
to take charge of the education, intellect
ual no less than moral and physical, of the
children it may please God by and by to
give them.

MONEY VALUE OF A WIFE.-Let man
become a widower and he soon learns
what the financial worth Of wife was to
him. When he is compelled to hire the
food cooked, the garments made or mend
ed, the washing and ironing done, he finds
that about one-half Of his income is re-
quired to meet these outgoes. Who saved
this expense before? Let the cold fingers
and the silent lips in the graveyard bear
testimony. The family purse should be as
accessible to faithful wife as to the hus-
band. What man would consent to be-
come partner in a company in which his
brother partner should alone have control
of the company's funds? There is no one
thing more degrading and depressing to
hard working wife, than to feel that
she must beg like tramp for every cent
she spends beyond her food, which as tru-
ly belongs to her as though she earned it
as domestic or shop girl.

PUNIsHING A CRIME IN GERMANY
An ex-consul is reported as saying: TO
illustrate the stringency of the criminal
laws in Germany, it is made penal Of
fence in that country to strike a man who
wears spectacles or eyeglasses. A case IN
point occurred not long ago, in which an
American of wealth and excellent social
position in our country became involved
in trifing dispute with German in one
of their beer gardens. In the course OF
the alteration he, for the moment, lost his
temper and struck the man, who wore
glasses. He was not aware of the extent
of the offence which he had committed,
but he Wasat once placed under arrest, and
was informed of the nature Of the law.
He at once did all in his power to right
the wrong which he had done and avoid
the penalty. He caused the mans eyes to
be examined by one of the most celebrated
occulists in Germany, who pronounced
them in good condition. He also present.
ed the man with large sum of money,
about 1900, with which to 60 into busl-
ness. All this was of no avail, however,
as the machinery of the law, once set in
operation, continued its work, and the
American was condemned to serve two
years in the penitentiary. The American
consul at once began efforts for the release
of the man, but it was not until he had
served eight months Of his sentence that
the influence of the consul with the en-
peror prevailed and the man was pardon

The LITTLENEss OF MAN.-There are
/, 1,4OO,OOO,OOO people living on the planet
which we inhabit. And yet there is now
and then a man who wonders what the
rest of US will do when he dies. There are
people in ''society" who honestly think
that all the rest of the world closes its
eyes when they lie down to sleep. There
are men who fear to act according to their
own convictions, because perhaps ten per.
sons in crowd of 1,4OO,0O0,000 will laugh
at them. Why, if man could only rea-
lize every moment what bustling, busy,
fussy, important little atom he is in all
this great ant hill of important, fussy lit
tie atoms, every day he would regard him
self less, and think still less of the other
molecules in the corral.

THE HUMAN BREATH.-Prof. Brown
Sequard has recently been making expert
ments to determine whether the human
breath was capable of producing any pois-
onous effects From the condensed watery
vapor of the expired air he obtained a
poisonous liquid, when injected under the
skin of rabbits, produced almost immedi-
ate death. He ascertained that this pois-
on was an alkaloid, and not microbe.
The rabbits thus injected died without
convulsions, the heart and large blood
vessels being engorged with blood. Brown
Sequard considers it fully proved that the
expired air both of man and animals con-
tain volatile poisonous principle which
is much more deleterious than carbonic
acid

DANGER OF BEING A HUMAN BEING
Heredity is puzzle. Itseems to be easier
in this world to inherit bad qualities and
traits than good, but both sorts make such
leaps and Jumps, and are so inclined to go
off on collateral lines that the succession is
difficult to calculate. The race is linked
together in curious tangle, so that it is
almost impossible to fix the responsibility.
Defects or vices or virtues will not always
90 in straight line. The children of deaf
mutes, for example, are not apt to be deaf
mutes, but the cousins of those children
may be deaf mutes, showing, it is said,
that some remote ancestor of both had
some mental or physical defect which has
been transmitted to his posterity, though
not in the form in which he was afflicted.
In most cases we cannot do anything.
The older our civilization becomes the
more complicated and intricate are our
relations, so that it has already become a
dangerous business to be human being
at all. 1t is not always that if man eats
sour grapes his children's teeth will be set
on edge, but the effect of the sour grape
diet may skip generation or two or ap-
pear in collateral line. We try to study
this problem in our asylums and prisons,
and we get great many interesting facts,
but they are too conflicting to guide legis-
lation. The difficulty is to relieve a per-
son of responsibility for the sins of his an
cestors without relieving him of response
bility for his own sins.-Chicago Tribune.

TACT IN ENTERTAINING.-Always give
guests cordial welcome if you wish them
to enjoy visit. Nothing is more chilling
than to be met with evident WEAKNESS, as
though ones visit were inconvenient.
Make guests feel at home, but do not so
burden yourself with extra work during
their stay that you cannot enjoy it or have
time to devote to their entertainment.
Do not change the entire routine of home
life, for both yourself and friends will be
made uncomfortable.

LIFE FROM WITHIN.-All living things
grow from within outward. Stones grow
only by accretion. Notice the scrub oaks !!
The old leaves cling to them all winter,
rattling in every blast, dry as dust, sapless,
dead. No tempest is strong enough to
drag them from their stems. But by and
by the gentle yet powerful sap springs up
from the roots, and keeps climbing up to
the topmost twig. Some spring day you
20 through the grove and, 10! the old dead
leaves are gone. The new life has pushed
off the old.
So it is with old habits. When new de-
sires, new tastes, new aspirations, are put
within the soul, these are pushed off.
Grace is mightier than sin. A sweet dis
position makes short work of sour words
and actions. A loving heart crowds out
envy, anger and spite. The love of Jesus,
the love of truth and purity, the love of
truth and humanity, leave no room for
worldliness and self-seeking.-T NJ GrJ-

TEACHING.-Iti is more pleasant to teach
a bright scholar than to teach dull one.
But the dull scholar needs good teaching
even more than the bright one. Moreo-
yer, good teacher gains more in his teach
ing power through his efforts to meet the
wants and to adapt himself to the capaci-
ty and lack of one dull scholar, than
through his endeavors in behalf OF dozen
bright scholars. Most teaching is over the
head of the average scholar, and the pres
ence of one bright scholar in a class is a
peculiar temptation to the teacher in this
Iine. But wfgtr a teacher seeks to- make
clear an important elementary truth to
the comprehension of sluggish-minded
scholar he is necessitated, in the first place,
to have the distinctions in that truth in
unmistakable clearness in his own mind ;
and then his persistent endeavors to
make sure that that truth is transferred
from his mind to the mind of his schol-
ar is means Of mental discipline and OF
mental development to himself. If he
does that work we'll in a single instance,
he is q better teacher for his work every
where from that time out. It is patience
trying to have stupid scholar, or stupid
correspondent; but for that very reason it
may prove means of grace, and means
of intellectual advancement. We owe
great deal, in fact, to the stupid persons
with whom we have to do in this world.
They do US good, if we only persevere in
our efforts to do them good. The bright
scholars and the bright correspondents are
stimulating. The stupid scholars and the
stupid correspondents are disciplining.
