How to Deal With the Fallen.

Many in the church have little or no
patience with the feeble and wayering.
Paul says, "if a man be overtaken in a
fault, ye that are spiritual restore such q
one." But many who are influential in
the church have little or no patience
with the unsteady. No effort may be
made to discipline them, and on the
other hand, no effort is made to restore
them; but they are left as rubbish in the
church. In calling upon such pastori.
ally I have found them in doubt whether
they were church members or not No
one, not even a class leader, had been
looking them up, and whether in the
church out of it they could not tell.
Jenus would have US look after the wan
derers, and he would have US deal ten.
derly with them. Some have none but
sharp words for the unfaithful. When
Jesus found one who had been cover.
taken in a flult," he spoke as tenderly
to him as ever did q mother to her child.
Peter, in the hour of Christ's arrest,
forsook him and fed. He then "follow.
ed him afar off," "sat down" with his
enemies, denied him, and finally "swore"
that he "knew not the man." Rather q
faulty Christian Had Jesus possessed the
spirit of many in the church, he would
have said, when he found him among his
disciples, "You villain are you here
among my disciples to disgrace them and
my church Out of this!" But he did
not-did NOT even refer specially to his
sins, did not so much as say, "Peter, [
am sorry you cursed and swore the other
day" But in his own tender, significant
way, he saicI, "Peter, lowest thou me 2"
And that, it seems, was almost enough
to kill Peter. The Sayiour's delicacy in
not referring to his fault, while he sought
to win him from his sins, melted his
heart while severe denunciation could
only have crushed him and sunk him in
the deepest despair. Some might have
thought that it would not do to restore
one who hal denied his Lord and cursed
and swore, but in the first revival effort
after the Saviour's ascension Peter had
the leadership, and three thousand were
converted 10 God. No wonder that
Jesus in the early morning along the
shore of the lake took more notice of
Peter than of the more faithful John,
James and Andrew. He was after the

No Fans Wanted in Church,

SPRINGFIELD, OHIO, July 7.-Old
Nick, with Joyous face, is just now para

The minister, the Rev. A. L. Reynolds, is
of very irritable disposition, and some.
times says things he regrets. He has Wig.
orously opposed the use Of fans in his
Church during the hot weather, claiming
that the power of tie sermon was lost
in their use and in the flirting with them
One night last week he delivered special
sermon on a topic of great profoundly
a large audience was present, and he
started out to make one of the great eff
forts of his life. The ceaeeless move.
ments of the fans annoyed him, and he
cast nervous glances around every now
and then. Finally he stopped and broke
forth:
"I want you to quit using those fans. Il
is impossible to preach with any effect
while they are in operation. Think Of
the North pole and icebergs and look al
me-"
This enraged several of those present
who Immediately left the Church. This
started others, and soon half of the con-
gregation was QUE. The trouble caused
will probably lead the Rev. Mr.. Reynold:
to resign.

profits, but there are grades in farms and
farmers in the North as we'll as in the
South.
Probably the first thing a Northern
farmer would ask about these Southern
lands is the price. Around Norfolk
farms that are well located cost $500 an
acre. That will buy farm of good
truck land with good buildings, and il
properly managed it would yield Sl0O
an acre in profits.
The best kind of farms for tobacco
culture in the golden tobacco belt are to
be had at S25 an acre. This price is for
land which should yield, under proper
cultivation, from four to ten times its
cost in profits every year depending on
the weather at certain stages of the
growth of the crop,) and in rare cases
$500 an acre. The buildings are of 9
kind that would not meet the approval
ola thrifty Yankee, nor would the condi-
ton of the fences please him. But the
land is all right for tobacco.
There are plantations of from 500 to
GOO acres in North Carolina which the
owners try to manage. but no plantation
of that size, of which the reporter could
learn, was profitable. The small planta:
lions carefully planted and we'll fertilized
and cultivated were the ones that made
their owners rich, if incomes Of from

lions with the air and confidence OF a

colonel's interview made it unnecessary
for him to say few words In behalf of
