Perfect Through Suffering.

Frank Carr was young clergyman.
He was we'll educated, sincere, and
anxious to do his duty. He called
regularly upon the members of his
congregation he studied hard, and
gave much thought and time to the
composition of his sermons.
AT the end of two years, however,
he felt that neither his sermons nor
his visits had brought him closer to
his people. His own life had been
prosperous and happy, and when
death or trouble came 10 house, and
he tried to give consolation, he felt
awkward and out of place.
His flock admired his sermons, and
boasted of them as fine literary efforts,
but he did not know that any word
which be had spoken had really touch
ed or elevated a human soul.
He was young; his life was full
and complete he had a wife and
child whom he loved, a happy home
and hosts of friends.
Suddenly, as lightning out of a
clear sky, q blow fell upon him. His
child, a boy two years old sickened
and died in few hours.
The young minister was stunned.
His grief seemed to him so great that
none had ever before been like 1t in
the world. Underneath this grief was
a sullen amaZement, feeling almost
of rage against God.
AS TIME passed he grew stronger,
and was able once more to preach TO
his flock. But it seemed as if he spoke
with q new voice and new language.
He had been down in the depths, and
there stood face to face with God. In
the darkness of his great grief be had
CROPPED for the hand of his Heavenly
Father, and had found it.
His words moved the people with q
great power. No man heard him
speak that day who did not feel that
he had helped his soul.
A year later Mr.. Carr left the village,
and Cid not return to 1t until he was
gray-haired old man.
When he came back and stood again
over the grave of his first-born son,
for WHOM he had never ceased to
mourn, he knew what had sOftened
his nature and brought him close to
his fellows.
II know now why this grief came
to me-" he said, as he turned away.
However young we may be, into
every life comes some time the ques-
ton: "Why has God sent me this
pain ?"
Earlier or later we read the answer
in our own lives or the lives of those
whom we have Influenced, for i'll or
for good.

An old woman in DR. Todd's famous
New England church kept a small
grocery store, and it was currently re.
ported she was dishonest in her deal
ings with the few townspeople who
bought of her. On Sunday DR. Todd
preached a powerful sermon from the
text, "False weights are an abomina-
ton unto the Lord"
The old woman was much reused
by this sermon. She was trying to tell
an old acquaintance about it.
"a very powerful discourse, Maggie.
Ah, but he came down upon the sim
ners 1t would ha' done your heart
good to hear him."
"What was the sermon about
What was the text ?"
"Ah, L cannot remember the text.
But it was about weights and meas
ures and groceries and balances"
"But what was the subject? What
was the theme Of the discourse ?"
"Oh, the theme. I don't know.
But this I do know, Maggie. 1 went

The Atmosphere of Home.-House
hold hygiene is by no means limited to
sanitary dwellings and suitable diet
and dress. It extends to what may be
called the atmosphere of the home and
includes the influence of thoughts and
emotions upon the body. 1t is a ply
siological fact that spirit of gloom or
constant fault-finding in the family,
beside depressing the, spirits, actually
reacts upon the vital forces. Morbid
tendencies are strengthened and in
cipient diseases are helped to develop
in the homes which lack the healthful
stimulus of cheer and kindness. Vio-
lent emotions derange digestion. A
child who is allowed to indulge in fits
of anger, receives harm in the physical
as we'll as the moral nature. 1t Is the
exception to find a misanthorpe, a
cynic or a chronic grumbler in the
possession of good healh. For hygenic
reasons alone, were there no higher
motive to influence parents, it pays to
flood the home with the sunshine Of
love and the joy of religion.-Detroit

Finding Rest.

If anyone is restless, there is cause
forit. There is no use Of reading books
or of longing for rest in order to get 1t.
We shall not read long in the New
Testament till we find how to get rest.
Christ says Learn of me and
We shall find rest" If we learn of hlm
we shall find rest at once /; if we ac-
cept him as our teacher and take les
sons of him how to live, we will obtain
rest. 1t is the same thing that he
meant when he said "Take my yoke
upon youn-not q burden, remember.
What it collar to a horse? Is the
yoke of the horse the burden? No,
the collar is what helps him to bear
the burden easily. Christ saw men
borne down with burdens. He said /:
"Try life as live" "My yoke is easy
and thereford my burden is light"
Instead of Christianity adding to
the burden, it Is the secret of the
amelioration of life It enables one to
take the buoden of life without finding
their weight. He actually goes
on to specify what we are mainly
to learn of him. "For I am meek
and lowly in in heart" Do you see
the connection between being meek
and having rest Most are not meek
and Iowly in heart. Many worry,
thinking they are not in their right
place that they've been looked down
on, and at night they are bitter and
lose their rest from wounded pride and
from imagining people are sighting
them. These things would be impos-
sible to US if we learnt of Christ, and
were meek and lowly in heart. There
is no other way than by doing what
Christ says. 1t is impossible other
wise to have that great Christian
experience of rest that is so much
coveted.

FrC.l the frequent statements as 10 the

PODe and Moon.

There are now two independent candidates
for Governor OF South Carolina-Pope and
Moon Of Newberry.
1t may be that one or the other will receive
the vote of Abbeville, but We don't believe IT.
DR.. Pope received four votes in the recent
primary in this county, and 1t is hardly to
be expected that he can beat the regular NOM
inee.
Mr.. Moons strength is an unknown quan.
tity, as our people never heard OF him until
lately.
Nearly all Of our men voted In the primary,
and are pledged to support the nominees.
AS yet we see no evidence that the indepen.
dent movement which Senator Buffers
friends started, has any strength in Abbeville
county. Our people don't know who Issued
the call for the organization Of the 1ndepen-
dent movement, and we presume care moth
ing about it one way or the other.

Boy CHARACTER.-Iti is the greatest
delusion in the world for boy to get
the idea that his life is of no conse.
uuence, and the character of it will
not be noticed. A manly, truthful
boy will shine like star in any conf
munity, A boy may possess as much
of noble character as man. He may
so speak and 20 live the truth that
there shall be no discount Oh his word:
And there are such noble boys; and
wider and deeper than they are apt to
think is their influence. They are the
king boys among their fellows, having
an immense influence for good, and
loved and respected because of the
simple fact of living the truth.
Dear boys, do be truthful. Keep
your word as absolutely sacred. Keep
your appointments at the house Of
God. Be known for your fidelity to
the interests of the Church and Sab
bath school. Be true to every friend
ship. Help others to be and do good.

A few days before the adjOurnmen Mt,
Sentor Peffer and a representa- We
from Kansas introduced a joint reso-
luton into the Senate and House,
authorizing the Secretary Of War to
lend two cannon to Kansas County
for five years. Some time ago there
was a plan proposed for securing at
least partial irregation of the arid re-
gions of Kansas, but for some reason it
was not realized. In default of this 1t
is the plan now of the members to
make the effort to get as many guns as
possible located over the state for the
purpose of inducing rainfall. They in
sist that the conclusion theory for in
ducing rainfall is the best, that it is
more simple and less expensive than
the plan of constructing irrigation
bitches, that it is more easily done
and results are secured more quickly.
At meeting of the Amer ican For
estry Association the fact was made
public that the demand for paper is do
ing more than any other one thing to
destroy the American forests. Wood
pulp has come to be the great enemy
of our woodlands, the manufacturers
utilizing 50 per cent. of all the spruce
logs cut in the United States, and the
demand for this article of commerce
consumes 500 acres per day.
China's standing army numbers 3OO,-
600 men to Japan's $4,000. Japan has
the advantage, however, of having the
better navy, and both American and
English officers are in her army.
Over 100000 French women were
