DoN'T USE A CROOKED RULE

DoN'T USE A CROOKED RULE
5"The Bible is so strict and old-fashion-
ed" said young man to a gray hair.
ed friend who was advising him to
study Gods Word if he would learn
how to live. "There are plenty OF
books written nowadays that are NOR
al enough in teaching, and do not bind
one down as the Bible"
The old merchant turned to his desk
and took out two rulers, one of which
was slightly bent. With each of these
he ruled a line, and silently handed
the ruled paper to his companion.
"Well," said the lad, "what do you
msan?"
"One line is not straight and true, is
1t? When you mark out your path in
life do not take a crooked ruler"

A Sabbath at Abbeyille.
Christian Neighbcr.


Complying with request OF the
Presiding Elder, "a. J. Cauthen) L
went to Abbeville on Saturday that L
might be on hand Sabbath to serve the
charge. of Pastor L. F.. Beatty who was
absent at Tate Springs, (Tenn.,) for
the Improvement of his health.
Sabbath morning called at the par
sonage and learned from Mrs. Beatty
that Brother Beatty was getting on
well and that he expected to return
the latter part of this week.
I preached morning and night TO
large and most attentive congrega-
tions. The good singing and prayer OF
layman at the close of both hours OF
worship contributed much to the edlh-
cation of the worshippers. 1 recog-
nized less than half dozen faces that
I saw here forty-two years ago when l
was Junior preacher with Rev. Z. A
Crowell on Cokesbury Circuit. Abbe-
willie was then one Of the twenty-one
or twenty-five churches which at that
time composed the Cokesbury Circuit.
Since that time 1S4S) the territory en-
braced in what was then "Cokesbury
Circuit has been divided into seven
or eight pastoral charges. AbbeViitte
station is one of the desirable charges.
Some of the members have class meet
ing every Sabbath morning in the
church before public worship. Their
prosperous Sunday School, Judge Ly-
on, Superintendent, meets in the after
noon. The system and absence OF
noise and confusion impressed me.
Every thing passed off so smoothly
and satisfactorily that they had time tc
hear a six minutes talk from the old
preacher. Every one seemed to listen
both ears.
Soon after closing the interesting eX'
ercises of the School, Master Gaines
4 Hammond was ready with buggy and
l"Texas pony" to give me a ride to the
! Circuit parsonage where Rev. A
Frank Berry lives with wife and eight
children, when he is not absent on his
work. He was not at home, but 1 saw
Mrs. Berry and seven of the eight
;. All we'll and pleased with their home
Returning to my pleasant "home'
in the live and loving household o.
Brother and Sister e. V. Hammond,
rested an hour before worship.
Monday morning I visited the Press
and Banner. printing house OF Mr.
Hugh Wilson, who showed me much
kindness as is his way at all time:
when l have the pleasure of meeting
with him. Across the street he has al
Annex to his establishment, giving
employment in type setting to five OF
six young ladies. AS these ladies have
a good deal to do in setting up thu
NE1aHBoR every week, I called to sex
them also. They have the cleanes
and most tidily kept printing office
was ever in. Three cheers to these
lady type-setters.
AS usual, was favored by my frient
Wilson with walk to the depot ant
even to the platform and steps of the
passenger coach. No more at present
of the much that might say of {

An Arab rule for selecting a good
horse is to measure him from the tip of
the nose to top of the withers, and
from the latter point to the root of the

TAKE CARE OF THE SKIN.-We
should remember that the skin IS not
only covering for the body, but a
most important depurating surface as
well that is, it serves very impor-
tant part in the work of carrying out
of the body certain impurities of a
very poisonous character. When the
skin ceases to act, serious symptoms
soon make their appearance. Expert
ments have been made with animals,
in which the vanishing of the skin
resulted in producing death in a few
hours. If frequent bathing is neglect
ed, especially i'll summer time, when a
large amount Of poisonous matter is
eliminated through the skin, this very
important eliminative organ becomes
clogged, or rather, so covered over
with impurities that its work is neces-
sariIy interfered with. The skin also
breathes. A dirty skin necessarily
breathes bad air, and unqucstionably
absorbs back into the system impure
ties which are allowed to accumulate
uDOn it.

Not Goddess Peace.


Whilst, from time to time, it is eXpe
dent for the friends of Peace to eXer-
their influence actively against panic:
cries for increased ornaments and
against administrative waste and ex!
travagance, in connection with the
Admiralty, or the War Office, yet it is
also desirable ever to maintain the pa.
cific testimony on its primary and
strongest basis of Christian principle.
It is because war is eminently sinful
and hateful to God, and productive OF
all manner of evils to mankind, that ii
IS to be especially opposed, and also be.
cause the spirit of conciliation and
harmony is essentially pleasing to the
Divine Head of the Churchs
x X X X K x
In the best interests of the holy
cause of peace, it is necessary to rest its
highest claims and its strongest de.
fence upon allegiance to the spirit and
precepts Of our Lord Jesus Christ, the
Saviour of the world, whose emphatic
declaration everlastingiy abides. "By
this shall all men know. that ye are
My disciples, if ye have love one to an
other" Such love and such disciple
ship meet with deadly antagonism,
both in the subtle moral pestilence of a
merely goddess peace and in the more
obvious evils, the awful carnage and
terrors, of actual warfare. The truest
promotion of peace will oppose both
forms of evil impartially-because
both are traught with influences hos.
tile to the allegiance due only to God
and to Christ.
