There was an immense audience at the

S. N. Brown of Missouri sang with a
thrilling effect solo, "Our Country

quests, he sang, ''Dying for the
knowledge of the Saviour's Name, -
and DR.. Henry Mcdonald of Georgia
led in prayer. "Whers Are the Reap
ers?' was sung, and DIR. J. William
Jones of Georgia eloquently enlarged
upon the right to expect children to be
converted, and the necessity of training
children, after conversion, to work for
Jesus. He gave many stirring incidents
of good work for Christ by children
trained TO the right.
DR.. T. t. Eaton spoke next, being
called upon to take the place of Rev. DR..
Curry, who was absent.
"We cannot overestimate the right
training of children" said he. "Peo-
pie are losing sight of the Importance of

may see that the religion We profess is

may see that the religion we profess is
powerful.
Live so for the sake of the preacher,
the people, and thy Savior.
And now q third suggestion--Let us
employ all our experiences rs help to the
lie OF piety. IL is easy TO set down and
think If you were rich how liberal yon
would be-out upon youi If you could
only talk with some who are rich and
learn the bitter cares! They almost wish
they were poor. Some rich people say
'oh if was well / could praise God.
The well ones say, ooh l am so strong,
my passions control me. If were rich
1 could be patient and prayerful.' Let
us not be dreaming of the pious life we
could livel So many of us have often
done that.
God knows what Is good for you better
than you do. Everything in life can
help you, every gain, loss, sweet, bitter,
glory, shame, cal by God IS grace help
you.
And now just one more suggestion.
We ought to seek continual progress in
piety. The human mind Graves pro-
gress. We are longing upward as We
sink downward. We were made to walk
forward. Go forward in life of piety!
There is no standstill, go
forward or you go backward.
Things have to move onward or they fall
backward. A man can't keep property
by simply keeping 1t. He must make
more or he VIII be losing. II you are
rowing up stream you can't stand still.
So with your effort in the life of piety.
Forward, then, oh Christian men and
women, boys and girls, in the life OF
pietyl
Now close with two scenes in the life
of the Apostle Paul. He says, forget
ting those things which are behind, 1
press forward toward the good Such
was his career.
A few years later in prison at Rome he
writes 10 Timothy; Il have fought a
good fight, have finished my course, 1
have kept the faith. HeDceforth there
is laid up for me crown of righteous
ness, which the Lord, the righteous
judge, shall give me at that day, and
not to me only, but unto all them also
that love His appearing.
He stands calm, with hand resting Sc
curely on the goal of life, looking up at
the crown the Lord shall give him.
Would you like to stand at last as Paul
did2 Then you must act as Paul did
press forward!
Oh men and women, 1t does seem such
a poor thing to merely talk of these
great things. God help you and me TO
live them; let us strlve as Paul did and
have his victorious departure. -
DR.. Broadus then prayed and asked all
to join in singing NEARER My God to
Thee After the singing ne pronounced
the beuediction.

NEWS FROM MERCURY.

An Astonishing Discovery Made by Italy's
Most Famous Astronomer.
The smallest and swiftest of the
planets has become an object of intense
interest. Schiaparelli, the eagle-eyed
astronomer of Milan, the discoverer of
the double canals on Mars, has turned
his eager gaze on Mercury, and made
an astonishing discovery. He announces
that the suns nearest neighbor turns
once on his axis while revolving round
the sun, just as the moon turns once on
her axis while revolving round the
earth.
As it takes Mercury eighty-eight days
to make his circuit round the sun, it re-
quires the same time for his rotati on
his axis. 1t follows that he turns always
the same face toward the sun, as the
moon turns always the same face to the
earth, completing her rotation in about
twenty-seven days.
Schiaparelh not only makes this an
nouncement, but confirms it by what to
him seems abundant proof. He has
been observing the planet for seven
years-since 1SS2-making his observa-
tions by daylight. and has obtained one
hundred and fifty drawings of the
planet The markings or linear spots
on the planets disc are permanent; they
have not changed during the seven
years.
The markings are so faint and delicate
that they are perceptible only to an OBJ
server endowed with exceptional visual
power intensified by long practice, and
assisted by a fine telescope. These con-
ditions unite in Schiaparelli, and, what
is equally essential, the sky over Milan
is clear, and the atmosphere com para
lively steady and free from vapor, while
| the astronomers enthusiasm for his
favorite science knows no bounds.
If these observations are correct, what
a wonderful world Mercury must be,
with one hemisphere basking in per-
| petaaI sunshine, and the other DOOMED
| to perpetual darkness. Mercury is
sometimes fourteen million miles nearer
the sun than at other times. This &C.
centricity of his orbit causes q great
| libration in longitude; the planet os-
cilates or swings % deg. Al min. on the
east and on the west of its illumined

that the whole crop of cotton seed is
now worth not less than $50, 900, 600. A
great trust was organized some years
ago for the purpose of controlling the
trade. The American Cotton-Oil Trust
dollars, are now listed on the New York
Stock Exchange the same as the stocks
of any railroad or mining company.
Again, it was found that certain
quality of lard could be extracted from
cotton-seed oil. The result was that
Western steam lard was extensively
adulterated. Still it can hardly be said
that the mixture was, or is, very in
furious. The kernel of the cotton-seed
is said to be a nutritious food for ami
mails, and upon the Southern farm it is
the main stock food.
Once more, it has also been found that
ton of cotton seed, without its thirty
gallons of oil, is valuable fertilizer
Cotton seed supplies to the soil the ele-
ments which are needed to make it pro-
| ductive. The hulls of the seed are used
as fuel for feeding the oil-mill engine
The ashes of the hulls have high COM
mercial value as potash, while the ''re-
fuse" is used as stock in the best and
purest soaps. Lastly, the Italians place
a cask of cotton-seed oil at the root of
olive trees for the purpose of fertiliza-
! tion and protection.
Thus, tits surprising to find how many
of our new industries are concerned with
raw materials which were once regarded
as being of little value or use. For half
a century cotton seed was burned or
dumped as garbage. To-day it is at the
basis of great trade, great manu-
facture and a great trust. Indeed, an
account of the different uses of cotton
seed is an ''object lesson" in political
! economy.-Once q Week

SUPERFLUOUS FAT.
a Talk About Obesity and Its Cause
Treat tmant.


a Talk About Obesity and Its Cause and
Treatment.
Obesity, or cocpulence, is inconsistent
with perfect health. A decided ten
1ency to superhuOus fat conflicts with
the tendency to muscle, and weak mus
cles mean a weak heart-for the heart
is merely hollow muscle-and weak
organs generally. Every athlete gets
rid OF superfuous fat before meeting
his antagonist. Every corpulent woman
complains of being easily exhausted.
Sometimes obesity is a serious disease
in itself, bringing the body to monstrous
size. Some people inherit fat-forming
tendency, as others inherit a tendency
to excessive leanness. both conditions
are, to certain extent, independent OF
the food eaten, but in much the greater
number of cases, the cause of obesity
may be traced to the persons habits.
The body needs fat no less than mus.
Gle and nerve. Fat serves as a protec-
tion against too sudden lowering OF
bodily temperature. 1t contributes to
roundnoss and beauty of form. 1t enters
largely into the composition of various
parts. 1t is storehouse Of nourish-
ment when the normal supply is cut off
by destitution or disease; the system
does not draw upon the muscular and
other tissues until the fat is exhausted
Hence nature made ample provision for
it's normal production.
The cells can elaborate fat from any
kind of food, but far more readily lgom
some kinds than from others. 1t should
be understood that in the kind OF food.
rather than in the quantity, is the
cause of the formation of excessive fat
to ne sought, and those who have a
natural tendency TO become corpulent
can counteract it best by regu,sT and
vigorous exercise.
Those who are becoming alarmed by
their growing obesity should seek the
best medical advice, and follow Figidly
the necessary rules as to food and exer,
else in the open air; but IL is very i'm
! portant that the reduction of the super
| nuous fat should be gradual. Sad re-
! suits may otherwise follow. The mus
/ cuIar tissues themselves may be wasted
| As the fat dimipishes, there will be a
relaxation of the rules of diet, but un
+ less they are still followed 70 some OK
tent there will be a recurrence of the
| trouble.

Such drugs do their work only at the
expense of the general health.

ABOUT COTTON SEED.

Prior to 1860, Cotton was King. And
yet, the last five crops of cotton raised
by free labor exceeded the five ante,
hellum crops OF siaye labor by several
million bales. The great Industrial
forces is competition. The competition
between the United States and the
manufacturing nations of Europe, and
especially England, in supplying the
markets of Asia and South America with
cotton goods has roade it necessary that
every labor-saving device be used, that
the raw material be ohtained az q low

process Of manufacture Political econo-
mosts tell us that the traffic of the
world turns on half cent a ward. a
cent bushel or half-penny a pound
on the great staples. Our exports 0:
cotton fabrics consist mainly of coarse
sheetings ana drills, which go to China,
Africa and South America in payment
for tea, silk, sugar, spice, hides. etc,
In 1860 the average years product OF
one operative in . cotton-mill was 5,3I7
pounds OF cloth. In 1880 the average
years product was, in round numbers,
5000 pounds of cloth. That is to say,
the average years work of one operative
