Power.
DR. BROOKS.

I don't think that God will bless a
lazy Christian. He does not give with
an unwilling hand, but He won't give
His blessing where it is not earnestly
desired. If God sees we are content
with a few minutes prayer in our
room, perhaps with wandering
thoughts, or if He sees us simply fol
lowing somebody else i'll prayer, and
that's the end of it, we can not expect
a blessing. He will not bestow bless.
ing where it would not be understood.
1t is not because it is needful to move
us. He wants us to have that attitude
of asking, seeking and knocking, un-
til He finds our souls open to the re-
ception of the blessing. Remember
that Elijah prayed earnestly, 'Pray-
ing he prayed" as the margin has it.
a first there seemed to be no response.
The heavens were as brass, and the
glaring sun shone on, and withered
the trees and herbs to the roots. But
still he, prayed on. He sent his SER
want to see if there was any sign of all
answer to prayer. None! The heav.
ems still glared like an open furnance.
He bowed his head before God again,
still lower and lower-that head that
had stood under the fires of the false
prophets of Baal-and pleaded till at
last there appeared on the horizon the
cloud like mans hand-the hand of
God. Now, are we going to pray a
good deal in these meetings, or listen
to the teaching of our brethren, and
60 our own way again? We want
power! The way to get it is to bow
our heads in constant prayer.

The love of glory can only create a
hero; the contempt of it on y makes u
great man.
There are two things to which we
never grow accuslomed-the ravages
of time and the injustice of our fellow
men.
There are mony vices which do not
deprive us of friends; there are many
virtues which prevent our having any.
If you have bitter pill to take gulp
it down don't chew it. So many peo-
pie chew their pills.
ut is the property of love to bind
us closely to that which which we love;
if we love the earth we are earthly, the
love of God makes us divine"
Are you patient toward all men? Do
you have charity for the faiings of
others, and do you pray more for them
than you talk about them?
Dare to look up to God and say,
"Deal with me in the future rs thou
wilt; am Of the same mind as thou
art: am thine; refuse nothing that
pleases thee; lead ME where thou wilt;
clothe me in any dress thou choosest." "
Do not 60 in search of crucifiXions,
but when God permits them to reach
you without having sought them, they
need never pass without your deriving
profit from them.
The poorest circumstances in life
with u religious spirit of resignation,
are far better than the greatest abun-
dance and highest hon0rS without it;
for these cannot give that peace of
mind which the other can never
want.
Remember that, if you are Chris
tan, you are Il giver, not Of money
ouly, not of culture only, not of teach
ing only, but of the dearest things
man may hold-hope, energy, faith
love, and u consencrated selfhO0d.
When the devil let's 60 of the tongue
its owner is about ripe for heaven.
The surest way to win the love OF
people is to become lovable.

Rev. DR.. Savage, of Boston, said, in
q sermon, "that Chinese in this coun-
try earn about SIS, 100000 a year, and
spend Sl3,000,000, sending home to
their families about s., ,0O0,0 900, Accord
ing to John Boyle O'Reily, the Irish
send to Ireland every year OVERSIZE 600, :
900. We nave no fault to find with
this, but we do deny the Irishman the
right to attack the Chinaman Oh this
ground"
[The allegation that Cinnamon send
their earnings home to China is pre-
sumed to be one of the causes for bitter
ness toward them. That which a
man earns he may rightfully utilize in
such way as best pleases him, hav-
ing respect for the rights Of his neigh
bor and the time and place for such
using is to be his judgment and pleas
ure. No authority can encroach upon
his right to enjoy properly his own.
The wealthy reap their harvest of
rentals from property they too often
have never earned, but still own, and
go abroad to spend it. Manufacturers
and merchants annually send large
sums of money to foreign countries,
that our people may be supplied with
the products of industry not produced
at home. Why so silent about such Il
matter and why not arouse the country
to raise its voice against the exodus of
such sums alsOo--Ed.

at the death Of this able, wise, and Christian

Our community certainly feels the great
loss of one who was regarded with the highest

bereavement But 1t ia the will OF the Father

dear teacher farewell. Cold are those hands,
for their work is done. Close those eyes: No
more will they behold the scenes of this
earth, but we trust that they behold the gol-
den streets Of the New Jerusalem, and see the
King in all His glory. Seal those lips. No
more in this world will we hear his loving
words Of advice. Yes, bury his body; 1t has
endured much suffering, but now the work Is
done, the trials are all passed. We part from
him with sorrow and bury him in hope.
Dear teacher, thou art gone TO rest;
And this shall be our prayer,-
That when we reach our journeys end,
Thy glory we may share"

PITIFUL.
A White Woman Lodged I'm Jail I'm
der Charge Of Vagrancy.

One day last week the white woman who
was recently dismissed from the poor house
was arrested and lodged in jail under cnarse
of vagrancy.
She had been wandering about In the
woods, before she was put in the poor house,
and after her dismissal resumed her for mer
ways, apparently stunning the presence ot
people, especially OF white people, often Sleep
ing alone in the woods.
Reports lead us TO believe that she is n wo-
man who Is now OF unsound mind.
Without knowing anything OF the woman,
we believe she deserves the sympathy ana
kindly offices OF persons who are disposed 10
contribute TO the relief Of fellow creatures.
Hers is no doubt case in which good peo.
pie might interest themselves. Whatever be
her history, and whatever be her character,
she is d poor and helpless creature, and for
humanity's sake it might be we'll for the
kindly or heart to know something OF her
condition and her needs.
1t seems like intense cruelty in this hot
weather to imprison n defenceless woman,
who is weak in mind, without money, and
without friends. She is literally stranger In
a strange land.

what TiIIman Would do for the Poor
Man.

The Stale puts 1t this way: Things Cover
nor Tillman would like to do to help the poor
man-the "wool hat. one galus boy" 10
whom he refers so often in his speeches: /.
Make him pay poll tax OF three dollars. ,.
Sell him 10 Il contractor to work the public
roads eight days year, while the man with
ready money pays 81 80 commutatlon tax. 3.
Put "a property qualification upon his right to
vote. Abolish the lien law SO that he can I
get advances and will have 10 work tor wages
In his wealthy neighbors field. Tillman and
a coat-tail Legislature will give him these
blessings and many more of the same sort,
and the zone gallus boy" should be encour-
aged to stick to the poor mans friend.

Editor Press and Banner:

The voters OF Abbeville county are looking
for mel to meet the crisis which Is upon
them. The question OF finance Is the greatest
which presents itself III the State campaign.
The Governor, be he T!llman or Sheppard,
can not unsupported by a levelheaded Legis-
lature negotiate our State bonds, which fall
due on July lSt, 1892. Therefore, 1t is the
bounden duty of the people to elect level
headed financiers, irrespective OF their pOliti-
cal opinions, to save the credit Of the State In
this hour OF danger
The man who is suggested as a representa-.
tive Is thoroughly conservative, calm, cool
and deliberative. He has never sought office
and does not know that his name will be sug.
gested. This is the time for the office to seek
the man and not man the place.
Above the noise and strife OF the hour let us
elect representatives who will do right,
