''In her tongue is the law OF kind
ness" This is one OF the eXcellen-
cies of the virtuous woman as
described in the last chapter OF Pro-
verbs. The phrase, "law OF kind
ness" is suggestive. 1t means more
than a klad disposition. The nature
of law is to restrain, to enforce obe-
dience where 1t is not willingly rem
dered. 1t implies control. SO here
We think it means not merely habit
of speaking kind words, but a restraint
placed on The tongue, an injunction,
so to speak, against all urkind utter
ances. Such a law is part, a most
important part, of perfect Chris
tian character A law is needed.
With the best of men thoughts come
up from the heart which should never
pass the lips. 1t is sometimes said
that we ought to speak just what we
think, but this is not according to the
Bible. When unkind thoughts come
into our hearts, let them perish unspo-
ken. That law of kindness should
never let them get possession of the
tongue. 1t is not hypocrisy, but
Christian self-control, to refuse utter
ance to unkind and angry feelings:
Let the law be in your tongue and
see thu: it IS faithfully enforced

A Successful Farmer and Father.

[Spartanburg Cor. Greenville News.
John Lanford, Sr., at Lanford Sta
ton, in Laurens county, has become
quite feeble recently. He has been
a remarkable man. He is the father
of fourteen children. He has seventy
five grandchildren and thirtv-seven
great grand children. He is IS years
old, and has been able to look after
his business until very recently. Last
year he made 900 bushels of corn,
1000 bundles of fodder, fair crop
of cotton, wheat and oats. Besides
raising his own meat he sold several
hogs. He married a sister of DR..
Benjamin Woford, of our city.
Young farmers onght to initiate Mr..
Lanford's example. He settled down
on farming as a business and by his
close and constant attention he dig
nifed and ennobled his calling. If
Spartanburg had thousand young
farmers starting out in life with the

inspired Mr.. Lanford, our agricultu-

dreaded disease that science has been
able to cure in all its stages, and that is
catarrh. Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medical fra
ternity. Catarrh being constitutional
disease requires constitutional treat
ment. Halls Catarrh Cure is taken inter-
nally, acting directly upon the blood and
mucous surfaces of the system, thereby
destroying the foundation Of the disease
and giving the patient strength by build

The papers state that DR.. Ralph

nearly 100000, was SO pennrious
that he "woul1 follow wagons to

had beer dumped and carried into

remaining Goals, place them in bas-
ket and carry them to his shop. In
this way ne would collect consld-

it by the bushel." Ii the story is

In most congregations there are
some persons who often get very
sleepy, and who sometimes go to
sleep during preaching. In some
cases this is doubtless due to some
constitutional infrmities, in others it
is largely matter of habit. Now
We wonder if it ever occurs to such
persons that possibly they cause the
service to be less profitable to others
as we'll as themselves. 1t is not very
inspiring to preacher, to say the
least, to see part of his audience
asleep or barely able to keep their
eyes open.' 1t does not cause his
thoughts to come faster or make him
any more earnest in his delivery.
On the contrary, it has q depressing
effect. 1t makes his preaching like
rowing against the current. He can
not feel the interest in it himself that
lie otherwise would when he sees that
part of his audience are taking no
interest in it. And this lack of inter
est on his part causes his message to
be less forcible and effective on those
who are listening. A wide-awake,
earnest audience has not a little to
do with making preacher earnest
and forcible in his preaching.-Asso-
cute Reformed Presbyterian.

Told About Women.

Woman is a bundle of nerves, with
extra knots in them for mind and
heart.
Woman is valuable article that
costs more in the keeping than in
the acquiring.
Woman is mans incentive to 90
iorward-the tempting bait and the
merciless whip.
Woman is only rib OF man, but
she is worth ali the other bones in
his body put together.
Woman is the stringing Of a titful
harp, played by the wind +; man is
the golden framework.
Woman is the index OF the family
book; from her You can Judge OF the
chapters and the illustrations.
Woman is the seize through which
sift the finer attributes OF human
nature, and the filter which separates
good from evil.
Woman is the only female in crea-
tion who sings; she is also the only
female whose plumage is finer than
that OF its mate.

When you have corrected your
child for any sort OF wrong conduct,
let that be an end Of the matter.
The force of your correction will be
utterly broken if you keep up a per
petual allusion to the misconduct
that called it forth. One OF the
blessed things about Gods forgive
ness is that he remembers oar sins
against us no more forever. As far
as such a thing is possible, he lets
the memory of our ofenses fall into
oblivion. In this respect, as in 9TH

Go Slow I!

Mr.. I. w. Tillman, who recently
went from Lancaster to Texas, has
written very interesting letter to
the Lancaster Recieao. He sends
this advice to his South Carolina
friends: "Texas is making big pre-
paration for cotton crop next sea-
son, and if the season is favorable
look out for large crop and a low
price. I would advise my South
Carolina friends to be sure and see
first to their grain crop and make
cotton surplus, for | am sure they
cannot compete with Texas making
cotton, with all their commercial fer
tilizers." ;"

DR.. Merrill E. Gates, President of
Amherst College, is one of the fore
most of the fine band of educators
which now grace our country. Very
lately he is reported as speaking ear
nestly of some perils to our educa-
tional work, emphasizing one in a
special manner. His words are as
follows: "No graver danger threat
ems the higher education in our land
than subtly assails it when Christian
people advocate the lowering of the
standards OF intellectual LIE and OF
scholarly work at a Christian col
lege, in order that larger numbers OF
good, but incapable, young men may
share in the looser and lower courses
of study thus opened to them"

The Journal Of Education states
that New York City has in her pub
lie schools to-day 2s9,304 pupils,
occupying buildings and land valued
at $15,326,60o. There are also $4,000
pupils in evening schools, making a
total of $50, ,304, with 1902 teachers.
This is probably the grandest numer-
ical exhibition of city public school
life in the world. 1t has not grown
up with the growth of the city, but
is wholly the product of compara-
lively recent times. Forty years
ago there were 24,32o pupils where
there are now 339, 800, or but one
fourteenth as many as at present.
Sixty-two years ago there were but
.9,17S, or but one-ffty-eighth as
many; eighty-two years ago but 400,
orbut e-eight. hundred -fftieth;
while eighty-fve years ago there
were but 70 pupils, i. e., there are
4,S47 times as many as in 1907.
That year the total investment for
city free schools was $4,000.

Our work should not press us so
closely That we can not daily find
time for few moments OF quiet
meditation and prayer. 1t were bet
ter to let par. of our work go un-
done, it were better to let some OF
the household cares be unattended
10. than to deny ourselves the privi-
lese of few moments Of uninter-
ru5;el communion with God. 1t
would be time well spent for the
farmer to lay down his plow for a
little while and step aside to some
quiet place to seek for strength and
wisdom for the duties of the day.
The busy wife, whose hands are al
WAYS filled with work and her mind
bur,lened with cares would do well
to lay all aside, take her Bible, and
90 to some quiet room and spend a
little while with God. This is what
our spiritual nature needs. 1t will
not do to wait until we have time.
We ought no more to do this than
we would think of not eating OF
sleeping until We could find time
from our work. 1tpays to take time
for PRAYER.
Bat when We say that We have not
the time, is it not rather true that
we have not the disposition? ii We
rightly appreciate such privileges, if
orr souls desired few quiet moments
with God, could We not, and would
we not, generally, find the time:
Bat suppose our hearts are 50
enerossed with our worldly cares
that we do not want to lay aside our
work? None the less ought we to
do it. None the less do We need the
strength that comes from prayer,
though we are not conscious of our
need. In such a case, and this is the
condition OF many Of Us, we should
endeavor to close the door against
our worldly cares and go to God,
lamenting opr deadness and asking
Him for more spiritual life. If we
always wait until we have the time
and the spirit of PRAYER, there is dan
ger that this most important means
of grac. will be greatly neglected.
