The Anchor OF the Soul,

walking, on a day one summer, through
the vast navy yard of Portsmouth England,
came upon street called Anchor street
There, side by side, in long lines, were laid
multltudes of the hughcst anchors. You could
not look at those immense and graphing
hukes, and mighty iron shafts, without a
very real feeling Of resiful mastery over
tides and storms. With hcr cable fastened
to one of those great anchors, and with that
anchor getting grip On the bottom of the
sea, TO lee shore could threaten, or devastat-
ing breaker harm the gallant ship.
Do you remember how in the Epistle to the
Hebrews we are told of the anchor of the
soulp The anchor Of the soul-what steady,
masterfu word Is this, amid the tossings and
the changes and The dashing uncertainties of
our lives!
And win you notice peculiarity Of this
anchor of the soul? We are told it. entereth
into that within the ell The veil in the old
Temple was the symbol of separation be-
tween God and man. And i'm this scripture
about the anchor of the soul the veil stands
ness may divide and hinder us from God and
hide Him from us.
The great navigator Sir Francis Drake
maae voyage round the world in the ship
Golden Hind, "a little vessel of but n hum
dred and twenty tons. At last after an alb
sence of two years and ten months, ne
dropped his anchor in Dcptford harbor.
The great Queen Elizabeth refused to
summon him to her palace to make
him knight; but went herself ia
Deptfori, and, stare ding with her royal feet
on the deck of his little but triumphant YES
sci, laid the sword upon his shoulders and
hade him stand before her henceforth Sir
Francis Drake. The great queen knew how,
right royalty, to reward those who added
glory to her crown. And she gave him q
crest he might wear proudly ever after--a
ship In full sail with cable running up ,tC
Heaven, an emblem of tho Divine guidance
which had helped him to do the, till then, un.
heard-of deed.
Sir Francis crest is kind of picture OF
the Scripture word about this anchor of the

The Man Who Follows the Crowd Not
the Rest Friend.

SAYS the Greenr,He News: "We are in form
ed that the Farmers Alliance at Fork Shoals
GreenYille county. has formally boycotted
the GreenuiNe Weekly Ne,US because of It's ex.
preSsions Of opinion regarding some OF the
proceedings and purposes of the Alliance"
Don't do it. 1t is mistake. The paper
that can say fearlessly and honestly what II
thinks, is just the paper everybody needs.
The friend who always speaks smooth words
is not always the friend who Is most valuable,
though he may be the most pleasant. In
IA CT the friend who can and will tell us when
he believes we are going wrong is invaluable
Our friend may be mistaken in his Judgment
but mistaken or hot the criticism OF such an
one should not give offence, and is more like
ly to he beneficial than the flatterinS words oi
him who is 0csirous alone to please.
The GrcGnrHfe NciCs Is well lole to take care
of itself, and does so in an able and honest
editorial.
We have not spoken because of any idea
that orr contemporary needed help, or, If IL
needed help that any word OF ours would af
ford 1t, but because of the general interest oi
the subject.
We believe that the Farmers Alliance is a
great movement, and we feel that great good
will grow ont Of the organ iZation, but like
uny other organization it is liable to mako
mistakes. To attempt to sllenGe criticism
that is honest and sincere, by the method
adopted by the Fork Shoals Alliance, Is moi
manly and will not prove efficient.
This movement will grow despite petty and
malicious criticism, and it may be greatly
aided by the honest and manly suggestions
OF those who are its true friends and well
wishers. NeWbe1Ty Ne,Us and Herald.

figuring on the erection of Il tower
which will in every respect surpass the

pipe sufficiently large to support the
structure with perfect safety.
II am ut present getting figures on

"If this can be used the tower will
have the appearance of gigantic
crystal palace. -Four elevators will run
then two will carry passengers still
further toward the sky, while the

"The plans will be submitted to me
