CHRISTIAN ENDEAvoR.

Topic For the Week Beginning Aug. 81.
Comment by Rev. s. III. Doyle.
ToPIc.-Contnual Witnessing. Acts XVI, o;
Ps. xxxiv, IA
Less than year ago, Oct. 90. 1892,
we had for our topic, witnessing For
Christ" The topic at that time was
general, embracing all the phases Of
Christians as witnesses for Christ and
His gospel. The topic before us, how
ever. is limited to one phase of the sub
ject-napely, continual witnessing. In
the illustrative references we have set
forth several profitable characteristics
of continual witnessing.
l. How may we continually witness
for Christ Acts XVI. 22)?tPaul attributes
his ability to God. "By Gods help he
says he has been enabled to stand and
witness continually for Christ. God is
the true source of constant witnessing.
He prolongs our lives. lie fills us with
the proper disposition. He surrounds
Us with the necessary opportunities. 1t
is therefore expedient for us to pray to
our Father that He VIII bless us with all
these necessary qua locations.
2. What are we to continually wit
ness Acts XVI, 22)? Again Paul may
be our model, for he witnessed ''none
other things than those which the proph-
cts and Moses said should come to pass"
Paul limited his witnessing to divine
truths, as God had revealed them through
His inspired prophets. We should limit
our testimonies to the same. That
which has no sanctum in the divine
word should form no part of our wit
Messing. 1t is not tradition and mems
opinion that will affect men, but divine
facts and truths The Bible should be
the source of our instruction and our
facts, and our witnessing will then be
effective; otherwise it will not
3. To whom should we continually
witness (Acts XVI, 22)? Paul witnessed
continually to ALTO small and great
To all men we should be constant wit
nesses. The rich are not to be stunned
because of their riches, or the poor be-
cause of their poverty, the wicked be-
cause of the opposition to divine truths;
or the indifferent because they may
mock the sacred things of God. To all
men everywhere we are to faithfully bear
witness for Christ, with the object in
view of leading them to Him as their
Saviour.
4. Why should we witness continual
ly ops. xxxiv, ID? In this passage we
have an outburst of the psalmist in
praise to God 81 will bless the Lord
at all times His uraise shall continu-
ally he in my mouth" So it should be
with all. Why? Because Gods mercies
and blessings to us are continuous,
hourly and daily. Therefore we should
witness TO His goodness at all times.

Missionary Items.

In some of the district congregations
in India the native Christians close their
services with three words that mean.
Victory to the Lord Jesus"
Over 200 African converts in Uganda
and the regions about have suffered
death rather than give up their faith in
Christ.
It is said that if the United States were
supplied with ministers in the same pro-
portion that the heather world is with
missionaries there would be altogether
about 275, about two-thirds as many as
there are now in Boston alone.
Nine casks Of missionary arrowroot
have been sent to Edinburgh this year
from Aneityum, New Hehrides. and
three from FORTUNE The latter is a
contribution from the native Christians
to help prepare native teachers and to
build the first church in Fortuna.

country. The frontage to this section
shows the reproduction-on colossal
scale-of the Copenhagen municipal
crest, the three towers, with their red
flag embellishing the whole. Outside
on the walls forming the section they
have good paintings, showing scenery
from Denmark and from the Danish
colonies in Iceland, Greenland and the
West Indies. They, too, have brought
over, under proper guarantee, the
''Flatey Book" the Icelandic manu-
script bearing strong evidence that
Danes or descendants of Danes We're
the Vikings who first discovered Amer
lea. This alone is a precious exhibit,
worth the exhibits from many larger
country.
Close to the main entrance to this
section is an exact reproduction OF the
study in which Andersen, the master
of fairy tales, lived and died. Most of
the objects and the furniture shown
are the genuine ones, even unto the
umbrella of the poet and the fire
screen. pasted all over with thousands
of small newspaper illustrations which
Andersen brought back from his tray
els abroad Thorwaldsen, the great
sculptor, is seen on the opposite side,
partly by Photographic reproductions
of his last creations and partly by pic
lures of himself.
The chief exhibits which Denmark
shows are terra Gotta, gold and silver
objects of art, chinaware and fine fur
niture. The beautiful things fashioned
in terra Gotta were sent by four firms,
of which those of Ipsen's Widow, all
masterpieces in their way, are the best
made in the world. The other three
firms have sent goods that are much
inferior, but even they are still superior
to the best English terra Gotta. Most
Of the terra Gotta is polvchrome, but
there is, too. black terra cotta-ap-
proximating the effect of bronze-and
pieces which show but one or two
colors. Perhaps the finest piece on
view is a reproduction of Thorwald-
sons famous marble frieze inustrat-
inc the conquering tour Of Alexandria
the Great. Nearly all this terra Gotta

the study Of the neutrality-suspicious.,

nearly all the subjects. too. are taken
from mythology or ancient history.
The extreme fneness Of the grain IN

the unexcelled quality of the Danish
clay, but the skill with which the
glazing and the burning have been done
is solely matter of experience and
great care, while the designs speak
very highly Of Danish art inspiration.
The exhibit Ia china and porcelain
is extensive and fine. there being no
doubles in it. Most of the objects be-
long to table use, there being compare
lively little in vases and other purely
ornamental forms.
The spirit of the ancient North
breathes in nearly all the artistic pro
auctions in silversmithing and gold
which Denmark shows u.s. The find
ing, not many years ago, OF ancient
jewelry in graves of the Vikings of
1000 and even 5000 years ago, fur
nished their descendants of to-day with
welcome motifs and thus we see
choice samples of the hardy North
mans ''drikkehorn" drinking horn,
of armlets, of brooches and breastpins,
of bracelets and diadems and other
baubles for which those warriors used
to shed their blood. The originals of
all these are in the Royal museum in
Copenhagen, and these modern coun-
terfeits ere oaly made in silver and
gold instead of in bronze as was then
the ease.
The most beautiful piece in this col
lection is silver shield chased most
beautifully, and showing scenes from
the life of brave King Valdemar and
the battle OF Volta. This piece is
valued at $4,000. There is also fine
table plate of silver, fashioned in the
style of the ancient north, and an as
sortment of pretty enameled jewelry,
but this is inferior to that shown by
Russia. In furniture Denmark shows
us solid things-tables and chairs
and settees and sideboards that viii
wear for ages, handsomely carved ont
of strong oak or walnut or birch. And
in design and form we again may no
tice the revival of the old Viking

taste Peculiar, TOO, is the art of Gre
ating new effects on furniture, espe-
cially screens, with inlaid mother-of-
pearl In artistic bookbinding and
printing. in fine hammered iron, in a
new style of art embroidery teXecuted
by Mrs. Ida Hansen, wife of Copen-
hagen university professor,l and in
other lines Denmark shows us novel
things. In the Woman's building and
in Agricultural building she is like
wise exhibiting Interestingly, but best
of all in the Fine Arts palace. There
are no less than 159 oil paintings and
10 pieces of statuary, and they are
nearly all above the mediocre. Some
of them. like "Hussars ON the Com
mon, by Otto Bache; susanna in the
Bath" by L. r. Tuxen; I'm a Brown
Study" by Anna Anchor, and others,
are really fine.

lspeclal world,s Fair Letter. !


One cannot help being seized with a
feeling of admiration and honest re-
spect when one views the varied and
highly interesting exhibit which that
plucky, intellectual and artistic coun-
try, little Denmark, has sent to the
Columbian exposition. With a very
small though highly developed terrific
ry, and with population of just a
couple of millions, that brave and en-
inently capable people, the Danes. are
making a showing at this fair of which
they may justly be proud. Their
works and the products of their soil
are met with not only in the big Man
ufactures building, but also in the
Agricultural building, in the Woman S
building and quite prominently in
the Fine Arts palace. And every
where it is impressed on the mind of
the beholder that it is quality, not
quantity, by which they excel. Furth-
ermore, their goods are so tastefully
and effectually arranged, and the dec
orations they have used to set them off
are so Characteristic, as to show that

rate place in the great choir of nations.
The finest and most extensive show
ing they make, ofcourse, is in Manufac-
lures building. where they obtained
splendid site-directly opposite Russia
and where, besides by making skill
full use of relics and "reminiscences Of
their two great men this century
and Andersen-they have
created something typical OF their

to which the people of this country

agement of any other President

There is no further apprehension
among the business men of Law
renceburg, that the panic will long
er continue, they are laying in
their usual stocks of goods, with
the anticipation ola good fall and
winter trade.
In an interview with Mr.. J. G..
Stewart, who carries a very large
line of clothing, Mr.. Stewart said;
that it had been his intention not
to replenish his stock of clothing,
as clothing was more sluggish to
move than any other class of goods
during hard times, but that he had
now changed his mind, feeling con-
fident that we are on the eve of
good times again, that he would in
crease his stock of clothing and
dry goods, over that ofany former
fall purchase.
Messrs Simms Il Lumpkins, are
laying in good stock of fail and
winter goods. NJ. J. Richardson
is putting in heavy stock of dry
goods and shoes, and our other
merchants in Lawrenceburg, carry
ing various lines, are replenishing
their stocks, an of which, are good
indications that good times are
coming, as our merchants are men
who read and keep posted, and are
always prepared to regulate their
buying according to the trade they
will have.

BOOMERS nj appointed.

"What fools We mortals be" was
fully realized by nearly ever one
who had left civilizatio n, and cast
their lot in the wild desert of the
Cherokee strip.
When Uncle Sam gave the sig
nal at u M. last Saturday, fully
$4,000 people made a wild rush to
secure for themselves a valuable
home; and never has people suffer
ed more, and been more sorely dis
appointed, than were these home
seekers. Many of them died from
exhaustion, and many more are
suffering from hunger, thirst and
fatigue, from which, they can new
er recover; and q great majority of
them, find themselves located up
on 100 acres of barren waste, where
there is neither timber, vegetation
or water. A great many have al
ready turned their footsteps to-
ward their former homes, while
others are forced to remain, and
suffer the bitter agonies of hunger
and disappointment. This fully
demonstrates to what extent the
human family can be enticed by
false representations. "That impal-
pablo airy and unsubstantial crea-
ton of the busy imagination
comes now and then, and lures
the children of men to chase the
will-o-thc-wisp, over the danger
Gus morass of life"
Mankind are never satisfied;
they are visionary, and full of the
desires to gamble AMI take despcr-
ate chances to obtain a fortune.
This desire in the human breast,
has caused more untold misery,
than anything that ever befell the
human race.
Millions of acres of vacant land lie
in the beautiful South land, where
we have ripe civilization, with
good churches and schools. fine
timber, fertile lands, a delightful
climate and pure water.
Thousands of acres of this land
can be bought at the price that the
Cherokee boomers will have to pay
for that barren desert; yet the de-
sire of man to succeed by getting
in on the 'ground floor" caused
them to make wild rnsh for the
strip.
The East is full to overlooking,
the North is densely populated,
and all of the most desirable land
of the West has been taken up, and
the next great field for home-seek-
ers must be in the South.
The South has never advertised
her boundless and inexhaustable
resources, as has the West, and it
has only Of late, become apparent
to homc-seckers, that the South il
the most inviting field; and we
predict, that the next ten years
will show an increase in the pop
ulation Of the South, unprccedent-
cd in any other section Of tn e
United States
The eastern people will stop in
the south, the western tide Of en-
igration will turn back TO find
homes here where we are blessed
with all the resources that are ncces-
sary to build up and maintain a
great and prosperous country. The
Northerner ever ready to take the
lead, where profitable investments
are offered, will continue to come,
and the next ten years, will make
the South the most prosperous
section of this continent.
