COP BLESS THE BABIES. God bless
the babies What a world this would
be without them. What a souring
and curdling up there would be of the
milk of human kindness for want Of
an outlet, if there were no little cher
ubs to caress and be foolish over. Of
ten and often when entertaining, with
some misgivings, the great hall of a
new place, my heart has leaped up at
the sight of tiny woolen bootee, a
very rainbow of hope, lying on the
waxed floor, while the sight of q
wrecked tin train, with an engine
without funnel or wheels, has been as
welcome as card of invitation to a
party is to young lady.
God bless the baby! it Is better
tonic than all the bitters ever advertis-
ed. The baby has mission and full
fills it; it has an object in life and ac-
complshes it. If ever it becomes ne
cessary to thin out the population, I
hope the process will not begin at tho
small end 0 the human race, for I af-
firm and maintain that there Is not
one baby too many in the whole world
.E1ch0nge.

A Thrifty Young Farmer.

Young farmer, J. Simpson Domin-
ick, of Prosperity, s. G., writes an ad-
mirable letter to the Agricultural,
department" of the Charleston News
and Courier, in which he says: "SoH1e
of our farmers complain of hard times.
but if they would only make their own
hog and hominy ut home, times would
not be so hard. Instead of buying it
from the merchant and depending on
the West and Northwest for it, why
can't we raise our own pork as cheap
as they can, and have our own sugar.
cured hams at home without buying
them?
II am only young farmer OF about
ten years experience, and have sold
more hams and bacon than have
ever bought. Some men say the farm
does not pay, but I say the farm does
pay. 1t is not the farm that does not
pay. It is the men that are on them
that does not pay. They lose too much
time and waste too much money is The
reason the farm does not pay. Farm
implements have got too cheap. We
can't afford to make or to have them
made, consequently there is a great
deal Of valuable time lost, and time isl
money. The Ilow-stock, swingle-
trees, clevices and all are bought, be-,
cause they are so cheap. Yes, and
they are very poor, too. The wood is,
brittle and easily broken, consequently
a new one must often he bought. The.
farmer, that is a farmer, should have
him shed and shop, and do all that
work himself on rainy days, and have
extra swingletrees and plow-stocks of
his own make and save all that ex-
pense.
Zone word to young men. Don't
leave the farms to find O more honora-
bic position, but take hold of the plow
handle yourselves, for I consider farm
ing one of the most honorable positions
that young man can follow. There
is where the bread of all other profess
sions comes from. If were to tell
your readers what made clear on my
farm last year they would say that 1t
paid me. On the five acres that I
made six bales on last year. I am going
to make ten this year, and want to
make my crop average bale to, the
acre this year, for I have concluded it
is as easy to make bale to the acre as
it is q half bale"

1t is given out that at the Congress0f
Catholics in Baltimore last week steps
were taken to withdraw all opposition
of the church in this country to secret
societies, such as Masons, Odd-Fellows
and the like, Suppose it be with
drawn, and some Catholics join these
societies, taking the oath of secrecy,
could not the priest absolve them from
the oath and at the Confessional learn
all the secrets? However, it is 10 busi-
ness of ours personally, as we were new

bering "the obligation to the church

sufficient to ask why there is no better
observance of that day in Spain, Italy,
Mexico and other Countries where their

ducr the discussion of allqucstions pertaining
to the Woodrow affair into the Synod were
laid on the table.
Now, think this Is q move in the right d.
rcction, and should cause the whole Synod TO
rejoice. What Is the use Of discussing this
matter any longer, IL has been discussed in
every meeting of Synod for the past five or
six years and / would like that some one
would show where the church has been benc-
fitted thereby. Are our church members bet
ter because Of this discussion, and is it not Il
notable fact that our ministers have wasted
much lime and talent which should have
been spent In trying To bring sinners TO Christ
and in the upbuilding of the church. Now
that the discussion was tabled IN synod, let
the religious papers stop It's agitation through
their columns; il is now about time for some
one 10 try the old dodge OF writing commu-
nicatiuD to one of the papers To provoke I'M

well for the religious papers To refuse to pub

On Conditions.

A. f. Cox, a shoe manufacturer in
Portland, was once appealed to con-
tribute for the purpose of assisting peo.
pie who were suffering for the want OF
bread. He said, "Yes, I will contribute:
If YOU will find any man in Portland
who does not keep dog, and who does
not use ruII or tobacco, who is in want
of bread, / will give him sack OF Hour
and buShcl of meal"
The offer vas made public by some
one, and at Il meeting in the city hall
the question was asked 10y citizen
"How long will you stand TO that:'
He replied that he would stand TO II
TO the extent of hundred sacks OF
flour and hundred bushels OF meal.
But to everybodys surprise not a single
person has ever appeared to claim the
flour and meal.
This incident gives some little insight
into the sources of some of the want
and misery of our great cities; and
nlay set some poor person thinking as
to the cause of some of the poverty con-
rcrning which men complain. 1nsucli
= land us this there is bread enough and
to spare. 1t is waste that makes want 4;
and when the waste is ended the want
willusually vanish with it.-SUcguard.

woMAN's MISSIONARY SOCIETY.

WOMAN > SllSS1oNAnl HoS1Et IL
At the request of Mary Helm we
publish the following article. Read it
and you will see that nothing need be
added by this editor:
After due consideration of offers to
locate the Training school for Chris
tian Workers, the Woman's Board Of
Missions of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, has accepted that of
Rev. Nathan Scarritt, D. D., protter-
ing a suitable plot of ground in Kan
sas City, and $25, 900, toward the pur-
pose.
The obligation has been assumed on
the part of the Board to meet the exi-
gencies of The case, believing the Soci-
ETY. and the Church will indorse the
wisdom of the action, and come for
ward with a helping hand.
Faith in God and the cause is the in
spiration in this undertaking. The OBJ
ject of this institution is to test and in-
crease the effectiveness of Christian
workers both in the home and foreign
fields. 1t proposes an all-embracing
course Of instruction to this end
above all else, q comprehensive knowl-
edge of the Bible, and teaching the
fundamental truths of the Christian
religion. TO this will be added prac-
tical training in city mission work,
elementary medicine and nursing,
household and domestic management,
general information of foreign mis-
sion-fields and work, and how to best
conserve time and strength in serving
these.
1t will bs Christian home for stu
dents while testing their fitness for
returned missionaries desiring 10 per-
feet themselves in any Of its depart
ments.
This is no private enterprise. The
scope is so broad and far-reaching it
appeals alike to those interested in
home and foreign work in all Church
es. The time is ripe for it, as was tru-
ly said at the London Ecumenical Con-
ference, "The time is past when any,
body can be a missionary"
Pastors feel no more pressing need
than intelligent, trained workers IN
Sundays schools, and among the desti-
tute and suffering in every charge.
10 the NJ. f. Church, South, the
women who erterprised this grand
scheme have the right to look for coop.
Grafton and the financial help that
will crown their efforts with success.
10 men and women alike, on whom
God has bestowed riches, we call for
gifts, and the poorest stewards in the
heritage of Christ can, in the abun-
dance of their joy, let their deep pov.
erty abound unto the riches of liberal :
! ity. The members of the Woman's
Missionary Society will rise, by faith
and prayer and harder work to dc
their part in meeting tfis necessity.
