wisdom from the lips of very

out upon the inrolling waters of
eternity. The girl was impressed
by the emphasis with which the
venerable dame said to her, aBessie

the final word leads to more quar-

LA GRIPPE.
The Evening News ThrOWss0u
Suggestions on the Pre-
vailing Disorder.

The "grip," as it is commonly
called, has assumed an almost i;
not, quite, epidemical form in this his
goodly city of ours, and this state:.i
ment is made on the asseverationsl
of several of our leading phVsi-
clans who estimate variously that
there are from three to five thohs.
and cases at present in Augusta.
This state of affairs, together With
some personal experience, has in
duced the Evening News to3ell-.
quire somewhat into this populars

and to give the public the benefit
of these inquiries. Almost every

contracted, but after the acute
stage had passed, and the patient
felt we'll again, there came a re-
lapse and death was the result.
La Grippe is germ disease, and
not, as most people think, a simple
cold which nine out of ten people
will neglect or pay very little at

else it would not be epidemical.;
Being this, it merits the most.
careful medical attention from its
very incipiency as yellow fever Or
pneumonia, and this medical at
tention should never be relaxed
until the patient is perfectly well.
A remarkable fact is that la grippe

YOU BLACK DEVILSp
A Colored Preacher in Alabama
S Tries Sam Jones's
Style.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Dec. 26.-The
REV. Sam JonGs has for several
weeks been carrying Oh revival SER
vices here, and his customary cpl
thets, ssYous dirty yellow hound,"
ssYou imps Of hell" and other
such expressions, were frequently
used by the noted evangelist in
addressing his congregations. Par
son Isaac Davidson, who presides
over a small negro church a few
miles from here, was regular at
tendant at the meetings. He was
a great admirer of the Rev. Mr..
Jones's style, and decided to culti-
yate it. Accordingly, he treated
his congregation to a new kind of
preaching, which was in strong
contrast to his former meek and
lowly talk.
"You black devils! You imps
of helll You old SOW catsl" he
began.
Kill him!' shouted a big black
brother, who sat near the front and
to whom the preacher appeared to
be addressing his remarks.
"Kiil him." was echoed through
out the congregation.
The good old sisters joined in
the cry, and soon the congregation
was upon him. Finally, some
charitable person suggested he was
crazy, and the parsons own wife
Endorsed this assertion. He was
secured and watched like a maniac.
He explained that be was trying

1t is an Axiom Among Clergy

New York World.

New York World.
It is an axiom among cIergymen
that great revivals follow panics !;
that religious awakenlngs succeed
public calamities. If this be true,
this country should be entering
Fupon a condition of religious ex-
citement, for there isn't the slight
est doubt but that the year 1898 is
a panic year.
Revivals are the most important
phases of the Christian religion.
One authority has said that the
history of revivals is the history.
of religion. Men who have studied
this history declare that the Re
formation was simply a revival.
That period is known as the first
revival period, covering more than
two centuries, between 1910 and
1860. The next revival period be-
gan about the year 1900 and con
tinued eighty-eight years. Bunyan
and Baxter were the prominent
men in this movement. The third
. 4
revival period is known as the
great awakening of the eighteenth
century. It was in progress be-
tween 1880 and 1850. Whitfield,
Wesley, Edwards, Brainerd, and
the Tenants headed this movement,
which obtained to some extent IN
the United States.
It was the fourth revival period,
which extended from 1890 until
1912, that first really yconcerned the
United States. The hard times
following the Revolutionary War
were responsible for this. The
financial depression at the very be-
ginning of the. century developed
the spirit Of revival to the highest
point during this fourth period.

the devil fears no one so much as
he does the man who is master OF
himself.
There is one instance of a death
bed repentance recorded in the
Bible, that of tho chief on the
cross; one thatnone might despair;
and only one, that none mightpre-
sumo.
He was born in obscurity, housed
in a stable, and Graded in a
maLger, but star guided to his
birth place the wisdom of the east.
Follow the light God gives you,
and it will lead you straight to
Christ.
Reflect, that it is not enough to-
day that man be warmed and
clothed. Is not the body more
than the raiment? All! is not the
soul and spirit more than the body?
What lack of action there is
here. IT'S true that the human
life needs the provision of all the
essentials. Body, soul, and spirit
must be cared for before social
life shall reach the heights of sue
cess. Neglect not the neighhors
and you have touched social life.
The world looks at things from
a worldly point of view. 1t honors
success. 1t despises failure. But
it may not always know successe
when it sees them; and may some
times deem that to have failed,
which has been of the greatest
triumph. The death of Christ
was victory, when viewed from
vantage ground of his resurrec-
tion, not when viewed from the
dark corner of the crucifixion. Get
at the right point of observation
before you proclaim your conclu-
sions. Your inability to see the
Christ-life in one who differs from
YOU may be due to your defective
spiritual vision.
