CHAPTER III.

Guunar lived in this state of idyllic sat
isf.ctiou until he was II years old. At
leilst he tried hard To persuade himself
that he was content. And yet there would
be times when sudden disgust would
possess him, and the future that was in
store for him would seem pitiful and
mean. Though half supcrstitious dread
Of the great world that surrounded him
had been impressed upon him from his
earliest years, and stories Of disaster con-
sequent upon desire to explore it had
been dinued in his ears, he could not sup
press restless yeHrning to take the dan
gerous plunge, if only to test his skill rs a

in raore or less distorted versions, had SGT

tho English language, of which some are
30 foolishly proud? What will it profit
you, ask, In the sight Of him who de-
mandath not foreign languages, but truth

The pastor continued for another half
hour in this strata, warning his hearers in
the most impressive language that thcy
could NOT learn the English language or
hold intercourse with Americans without
runninga grave risk Of eternoi damnation
Ho elaborated his theme v it'll great inge-
nuity and ended with an appeal tJs tho en-

appeal with long and fcrVid prayer, in
which he bosought God TO save his people
from the denominations Of desolation--from
the unhallowed and soul destroying dance
around tho Golden Calf, which was for
sooth, the god Of the hcrctical, mammon
worshipinG nation wherewith II had pleased
him TO surround them.
The meeting was then at en- end, and the
pastor devoted himself for another hour to
private solicitation, buttonholing one by
one the we'll TO do members OF the church,
and refusing to let them 20 until they had
pledged Themselves in writing for an

PROGRESS.
IN Silence

In it's weekly summary Of b eSouth's
industrial advancement the MUnufdc-
turerS' Record of June 18th says:
The temporary financial stringency,
due more to the uncertainty regarding
the continuance Of gold exports than
to any real danger of an actual scarcity
of money, has somewhat restricted all
operations throughout the country in
the projection of new enterprises, but
even under these circumstances the
South continues to press forward in
the rapid development of its industrial
and railroad interests. Readers of the
Manufacturers Record cannot but be
impressed week after week as they see
how solidly every line of work goes on
in every part of the South. The new
towns and the old towns are steadily
building up without any speculative
excitement. Many new enterprises
covering almost every line of industry,
such as mining, iron-making, cotton
manufacturing, woodworking, etc.,
are being established, while the old
concerns are running full time and
making good profits. While the return
of an easier money market, when wheat
shipments begin to bring gold back to
us, there will doubtless be still greater
activity in every part Of the South.
Among the enterprises reported in this
weeks issue of the Manufacturers
Record are a 5000, 900 paper mill COM
pany in Virginia; a 81, 600, 900 phos-
plate company in Florida; a 800, 900
lumber company in West Virginia; a
500, 900 salt company in Kentucky; a
$40, 900 electric-light company in South
Carolina; a $50, 900 cotton seed oil com
pany In Texas, and a $500, 900 mining
and improvement company in the same
State; a $780, 600 lumber company in
Virginia; a proposed 800, 900 steel
making enterprise in Tennessee, and a
$3.50, 900 steelmaking company in
Georgia; a 800, 600 manufacturing
company in New Orleans; a $50, 600
flour mill company in Arkansas, a
$50, 900 phosphate company in Virginia
a $25, 900 manufacturing company in
Florida; 800, 900 iron-pipe works in
Texas; $50, 900 lumber company in
Atlanta; $50, 900 glass works in Vir-
gln1a; 100000 ore property sale in
Georgia; $40,O 900 brewery in Alabama
$780, 900 natural gas company in Ken
lucky; $50, 900 cotton seed oil and fer
tlllzer company in Georgia; $50, 900,
So4,OOO and $3.50, 900 improvement com
PanIes In Virginia; $50, 900 waterworks
IN Maryland; $500, 900 Improvement
company and railroad machine works
IN Texas. This brief summary shows
THAT n attention of the South is O
being directed more and more to diver
slfied industries, and that instead of
building cotton mills and iron furnaces
only it is also building other ENTERPRISES
to utilize the wide range of raw mate
rails found in it's forests, its phosphate
mines, its glass sand, it's agricultural
products, &c.

PHILLIPS BROOKS AND H CHATS.
Pulpit Review of Current Events by Rev. Thos.
Dixon, Jr., for Sunday, June Z, 1891.
Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr., preached
to-day in his native village, Shelby, N.
c., a little town hat nestles among the
spurs of the Blue Ridge, in Western
North Carolina.
The Episcopal Church recently did
itself the high honor of electing to its
highest office the greatest preacher
within it's fold in America-Phillips
Brooks. Phillips Brooks is not only
the greatest preacher in America, but
he stands foremost among the greatest
preachers of modern times. He is every
inch a man. He is one of the preachers
ordained of God-ordained by his mag
nifcent nature to the priesthood of the
living God.
AHEAD OF HIS TIMES.
He is one the thinkers and leaders
of the race. He stands for the highest
and purest conception of a spiritual
religion that has yet been evolved in
the conflict of the ages. He commands
the profoundest respect of the world
the world that differs from him, and
the world that does not heed what he
says, and yet recognizes in him truth.
1t is a high honor for any church to
have among it's ministers such a name.
AKING AMONG MEN.
It was among the things eternally fit
in their nature, that such a king among
spiritual teachers should be called to
rule, should be called to Office within
his own church. The church in that
act lifted the history Of Christian
thought, and made it's position stronger
IN its fight with the world.
PURBLINDNESs.
1t seems impossible to believe that
there could have beenfound within the
church, capable of producing such a
man, a faction large enoughto seriously
impede his confirmation as bishop. It
seems utterly preposterous that anv
set of men would have the cool audacitv
to stand up and declare Phillips Brooks
unfit for the office of a bishop in his
church-and yet it is so.
IHAD A DREAM.
While musing over this fact, l fell to
dreaming. 1t seemed to me that the
spirit of Hsop drew nigh. and trans
lated to me am unwritten fable of mod.
ern times. And this is the story the
spirit of Hsop told me.
ONCE UPON A TIME.
Once upon a time all the animals il
a certain region of the earth gathered
together to choose their king. The
choice fell upon the lion, and when the
choice was announced they lifted UP
their voices and shouted and pro
claimed that it was fit indeed that the
king in stre8nth, the king ordained OF
nature, should be called upon to rule.
All seemed to agree except the gnats.
