"It isn't war at all. It's worldliness, any

"I'u call it the same spirit, then, that
made you try to entrap into marriage

He had hit, and with poignant thrust, the
heart of a wound that had never healed.
She frowned, and the color left her tighten
ing lips. While she stared at him he went
on:
"Oh, Kathleen has told me! But she never
knew love meant then. that
why she WAS such wax in your hands. It's
altered with her now; your rule isn't what

THE IMPORTANCE OF FAITH.

That is hard saying. But you know the
emphasis that is laid in the Bible upon
faith. Again and again in various ways we
are earnestly assured and warned that with
out faith it is impossible to please God.
And faith-what is faith? Not an accept
ance of the statements of the theologians
No; faith finds a good definition in the
"great commandment" That is what it is;
To do that-to love God with all the heart

Hindco Civilization.

Mrs. G, L. Wharton, who has
recently returned from India, met
with the Ladies Missionary Society
ofthe Broadway Christian Church
at their last meeting. In reply to
questions she gave good deal Of
information. Nothing is consid-
cred sin among the Hindoos ex-
cept some offense against an idol.
Murder, lying and stealing are not
crimes; there is no law against
them except English law. The
life Of no Hindoo is considered of
any value except it be that Of a
man Of high caste, and even then
if the murderer cuts off his hands
he is not held responsible.

Among ths fsithfu! in our great band
Of Lexington philanthropists is woman
whose every pulse throbs with anguished
sympathy for womankiud, whose heart
and mind devote their mighty strength
to breaking the chains from her sisters,
whose nervous force is tried to the ut
most tension lest she fail. Il is to her
that we bread winners owe the wondrous
revolution in the social code which per-
mits the Southern woman to go out from
her home and earn her living She and
her co workers have made it possible for
women to be clerks, type writers, mer-
chants, AYE, something besides the
household drudge and the needles
slave. Read the literature she scatters
broadcast; give her respectful hearing;
study the property laws she would cor
rect SO as to enable you to hold the pitt
full sums you work for, and the day may
come within our generation when in the
evening, if not in the meridian of life,
Laura B. Clay may sit with hands folded
and look triumphantly upon the bless
ings she has wrought.
With woman's innate reserve. she
faces the multitudes with the courage of
conviction. With all of Southern
woman's shrinking delicacy, she presses
on, conscious that innovations are OPP
posed, that Ephraim will cling to his
idol Of ignorant submission. A Ken
lucky woman, with the boasted blue
blood of the Bluegrass heraldry in her
veins, she turns from the social tri-
umphs to which her native gifts entitle
her, to the disputed arena OF woman's
true place under the laws of the Com
monwealth. Do we, her sisters, realize
her motives and her aims

The Broadway Christian Church is
preparing another box for this mountain
church which the late Gen. Withers in
part supported. Mrs. O. Calvert, of
South Limestone, made call some
weeks ago for school books and suitable

she received amply repaid her labor

The CLEANERS continue to meet once
a week and are busy upon gowns and
flannel shirts. The interest has increased
since we are to have poor suffering
child in the "Polly Monroe Cot" The
earnings of the past year have been in
vested in bank stock, and the Cleaners
are anxious to make enough money to
pay the current expenses of the cot with
out touching the invested money, with
which they hope in time to permanently
endow the cot. They therefore hope
the public will not think them bold if
they ask their patronage for the "Cake

The Y. M. c. A.

This order has taken a fresh impetus
in our city. Mr.. Distin, the Secretary, is
here, and active steps are on foot to se-
cure building where the society may
grow and prosper. Prof. Wilbur Smith,
Major Mcclellan and others are at the
van. In this city where colleges abound
and hundreds of young men congregate,
the YIN. 9. A. should flourish beyond
question. The convention to be held
here during this month will bring into
our midst orators from all parts of the
country. Grand results are expected,
and should be brought to pass.

Kindergarten.

Since the January issue Of The
Record vigorous movements have
been set on foot to establish free
kindergartens in Lexington. Mr..
Howard Gratz. editor "a 1-,5aife Ga-
zette, has organized one at the In
dustrial school rooms in memory
Of his mother, Mary Cecil, who
died fifty years ago. Miss Mary
Hamilton is the teacher.
The w. G. T. U. are soliciting
subscriptions for another free kin
dergarten. The value of this kind
of training among the children is
immeasurable. More than any
thing else in life it proves how
truly prevention is better than cure.

Chestnut Street Mission.

The handsome brick church on
Chestnut street, which was estab-
lished year ago as Mission by
the Broadway Christian Church, is
now almost self-sustaining. The
Sunday School numbers one hum

are over one hundred names on the
church book, with frequent addi-
tions. The pastor, Mr.. TinSley,
has the confidence and affection Of
them all. Chestnut street has i'm

This institution given by Mrs E. B.
Woodward for refuge for the women of

paupers, but who required assistance,
has been further aided bv voluntary
contributions. Mrs. VIM Warren sends
us brief notice of the Home Endow-
ment Fund, which she undertook to
raise about four years ago. She says:
ITO raise a fund of $1,000 from
subscription of ten cents week looked
almost like folly, yet it has not proved
So The fund now amounts to nine hun

Eight hundred dollars are now out at

Rev. VIM. A. Lane, of Deer Park circuit,
has been holding a protracted meeting at
Harmony Grove Chapel for five weeks, and
it is still in progress. There have been sixty
conversions and the altar is still surrounded
by penitents. The oldest of us have never
witnessed such revival, and it is both aston
ishing and comforting to see what interest the
people from far and near take in these meet
ings. Eight hundred people were in attend
ance on the 18th instant, and the audience
has been large every night. The house at
Harmony being entirely too small for the
gathering, Bethesda trustees invited them
over. That church will seat about six hun
dred people, but the seats and aisles were
crowded, and most of the late corners on the
18th had TO stay on the outside. From two
to three hundred people were in attendance
nearly every night. The meeting may close
this week. Bro. Lane is great reviyalist as
well as an able speaker, and he is certainly
the right man in the right place.
Mr.. John G. Shipley has his handsome and
commodious new dwelling house here finished.
1t is an elegant structure and will be both

ceived a welcome invitation from Miss NJ.
ellis, teacher OF Pool S school, to attend an
entertainment which came off with great sue
cess on the 18th instant. They attended and
returned highly elated and much benefited.
The entertainment was Of new character
and wound up with an elegant repast, and
was served with bountiful hand and in an
elegant manner, to the delight and agreeable
surprise of all present. That was model
entertainment, worthy of all commentator.

PUBLIC SALES.
How to Get Numerous Bidders and the Best
Prices.

The public sale season is approaching.
How to get the largest attendance and the
best prices is a matter for consideration by
all who propose to make sale.
Past experience has shown that the man
with the best material does not always get the
best prices, simply because he neglects the
best way to get the most bidders. The sale
with plenty of bidders is always the best:
The farmer asks, how can we get bidders?
The answer is easy. Tell the people about
your sale, its date and all you will offer. Let
everybody in the county know OF IL. Let
them hear about it once week for one, two
or three weeks And how can he do this
Well, if you want it known that your daughter
is married or your mother in.law is dead, or
fair or festival is to be held, or a church to be
dedicated, how do you proceed to inform
everybody? You put it in the ADVOCATE.
How do You let people know you have the
biggest potatoes, or the best grain, or the
longest corn stalks, or the biggest hogs? You
put the fact in the ADVOCATE. How do you
find out that your friend is i'll, or has gone
visiting, or is building new house, or has
met with an accident, or found good fortune
You learn it through this paper
Well, then, if you want an army OF good
bidders at your sale Just put your invitation
in the ADVOCATE. OF course we will charge
you something for our work. The circula-
ton Of the ADVOCATE is far greater than any
other paper in the county. 1t goes every
where People of all parties and beliefs take
it. 1t reaches the best buyers in the county,
and it has subscribers in the adjoining coun-
ties. An advertisement of a sale in its
columns will reach ten times as many people
as read a hand bill, though the latter are
valuable, and the best that can be gotten IN
this section are to be obtained at the Anvo-
CATE office.

A sublime Act sublimely described


Ever since God breathed into man living
soul, blessed with that power against which
all other powers of earth have striven in vain
the capabiity to love-there has glowed,
been cherished and nurtured, a flame of SYM
pathetic feeling to the outpouring of charities
for those who are in want. This was beauti-
fully exempliied in Harvey on Friday even
ing, December Is. About o'clock, long
after the worlds great luminary had sunk
beneath the western horizon. and sable night
had spread her mantle DER the earth, which
was gently being rocked to sleep by the
''moonbeams misty light the curtains OF
the overhanging canopy were pinned back
with the glittering diadems, which Longiellow
beautifully calls "Ihe Forget. me. nots of the
Angels it was in the solemn and lonely
hour when the last sound Of "Curfew' had
died away and the last vesper had been sung;
it was at this enchanted hour, while the
heavens were ringing with the TIE Deums of
the saints that the Angel of Love descended
from its glittering throne and gently touched
the charitable hearts of the noble men of the
A. o. X. of the NJ. c., who forthwith sent
delegation of about twenty members, laden
with packages Of all shapes and sizes, filled
with supplies to the wants of the inner man,
money and other things needful to bodily
comfort, to the residence of Mr.. S. Ne
Cutcheon, an aged and respected citizen of
Harvey. The unsuspecting family, completely
overwhelmed, soon signed the treaty of an
unconditional surrender to the force at
hand, which proceeded to pour forth volley
after volley of the many good things which
they had brought. The siege was then raised,
the banner of victory unfurled, and the con-
querors were entertained by the vanquished
hero, who poured forth from the fullness of
his heart his feelings of gratitude in language
in beauty and sublimity limited only by mortal
imperfection. The happy delegation then
withdrew with the blessed assurance Of having
performed deed of which the Eternal King
approved.
We, the citizens Of Harvey, do, with EN-
phatic unanimity, congratulate the order upon
their noble deed of love, and pray that ODE
dience to this Divine Injunction may continue
to grow, and we will repeat the assurance
that for such deeds there is in store an eternal
crown, beset with many glittering gems, more
precious than rubies and more to be desired
than gold, yea than much fine gold. For
such deeds they shall be blessed with the
sweet smiles of the saints, angels and God IN
eternity, even when time shall be no more.
