THE BOAST OF HEALTH.

All doctors know that just before
death the patient often experiences
what is called a "rally," nature max
ing apparently her last stand against
the symptom which we call death and
it is quite likely that the feeling which
induces men to boast of health is Of fthe
same kind-an effort of nature to pro-
tect us against the coming sickness
which the body has recognized, though
the mind has not. The phenomenon
occurs every day in the cases of con-
sumptive patients, who brighten up
and grow hopeful just when the disease
is about to strike its hardest blows,
and it is quite possible that it is more
frequent than has yet been recognized
that the approach offever, for example,
is signalled by an unusual conscious
ness of health. II have never felt so
we'll in my life," says the patient, who
"a hours after is lying PROSTATE, and
whose friends quote his statement as
illustrating once more the ancient and
depressing belief:
The boast had nothing to do with
the illness, but itpreceded it, and men,
attracted by the violent contrast,
almost instinctively link the two to-
gether as in some way and to some
extent cause and effect. Next time
those who heard it, if they feel that
rush of health in their veins, will avoid
boasling of ii -; and the relation of the
two will escape attention. Moreover,
it must not be forgotten that boasting
is of itself sign of weakness, either
temporary or permanent, and that, con-
sequenlly, failure follows boasting
more frequently than it follows silence.
The perfect driver says he is perfect
lust when he is most careless, and the
resulting spill is remembered when the
thousand and one escapes, due to the
same drivers skill and hardihood, are
clean forgotten.

Dedication Of the New Baptist Church
Mr. Buckholz's Sermon.
Correspondence OF the Yorkville Enquirer.
FORT MILL, October 21.-On yes
terday the new Baptist church at this
place was solemnly dedicated to God
in the presence of large concourse
of people. The dedicatory sermon
Was preached by the Rev. Mr.. Buck
holz, of Chester, and was appropriate
to the occasion, his text being taken
from John xiv, 12: "Verily, verify,
| say unto you, he that believeth on
me, the works that | do shall he do
also ; and greater works than these
shall he do; because / 20 unto
my Father" The general theme of
his sermon was that there is too much
lack Of faith with the preachers and
Christians of today.
Rev. H. R. Mosley is the pastor of the
church, and although he has been pas
tor for less than a year, his work has
advanced at a rapid rate, there having
been a net gain of 33 members within
the year, making the total member
ship 101. Mr.. Mosely is an earnest
worker and it is with much reluct-
ance that the people give him up. He
has decided to give all his time to the
Rock Hill church.
The new church is a very neat and
attractive frame structure, being 40x62
feet in size, with seating capacity of
about $50. 1t is nicely finished on the
inside in oak, and although there is a
debt on the church, the money is
already in sight to liquidate all claims.

Such work as this does not look much

A BEAUTIFUL DEFINITION.-A dear
child called Mary Cooper had read her
allotted piece with such appropriate
emphasis and such sympathy of ex-
preston that the inspector said TO her,
in his kind and sincere manner: "That
was really beautiful my child ! And
now," he added, "if you can tell me the
meaning of that word turf l shall
give you the very best mark" Mean
ing of words are mountains of difficult
ties to some children, and the tears al
most started to Mary's eyes because
she realized that the inspector had
chanced to drop on word whose
meaning she had not lately stud
led. Poor child! / wonder how often
she frolicked and tripped over natures
emerald carpeting! Possibly never !!
But Mary had plenty of determination
she felt that her life almost depended
on giving an answer; and she lost
no time in exercising her little brain
to the utmost for some kind of a def
milton and just as the inspector was
saying, "Well, never mind child, will
pass on" she eagerly exclaimed
Turf, sir, is grass and clean dirt stuck
together by God" ga most excellent
definition" said the inspector. ain

nearly so precise as that. You have
