"PuIsatiOns': or Peace In 4ndivid.
mails.


Some one had just spoken unkind
words of and to me. Instantly my
blood seemed to have fire in it; very
quickly my pulse beat more rapidly
when had gathered the full import
of the offending utterance the blood
was coursing madly through my body !:
was angry. For the time, the sweet
spirit OF Gods peace was far away. I
was angry with the fellow-creature
who had-intentionally or uninten-
tionally, wounded me, and the only
immediate thought I had was retalia-
ton, i. c. "getting even." Three
were ready OH my tongue such words
as I knew would "vanquish" my
adversary; but at that instant came
the thought, "Suppose my friend did
not mean to hurt me, did not speak
with that wisdom which should al
ways govern and accompany reproof"
All! blessed thought! "a soft an
swer turneth away wrath" Yea,
verify; for, in that instant, my blood
cooled, the pulsations from my angry
heart became calmer, more peaceful !;
my lips kept back the biting words 1
would have spoken: I gained a
victory in personal peace, and pre-
served a better friend than I had had
before.
All! those troublesome "pulsa-
tions"! How quickly do they come
and 20, and how much Of peace or
turmoil do they govern! When the
heart beats hot and hard, the divine
that is in us Is soon swallowed up in
the seething passions of the brute, and
we are weaker than before. more prone
to '.give way" to the hasty word.
Strangely appropriate does it seem
that this word "pulsation" is recog-
nized as so indicative of passion that
it has been incorporated in legal
phraseology, denoting "battery." So
fully accepted was it in this sense that
in the Cornelian law "pulsation" was
specifically prohibited. So, if the
pulsation of each heart be controlled,
the tongue and hand will remain
peaceful, and there will be no "bat-
tery,"- no, nor i'll feelings, one to-
ward another. All will be peace and
love and where peace and love pre-
dominate in individual hearts there
can he no "pulsations" of hatred and
war in the hearts of nations.-A. B.
Love, Jr., in Christian Neighbor.

Selections From the Writings q
Many Persons.
No. 3.
By JOHN HEMMESWAY.

The reason why we urge Friends to
move forward in the great Peace re-
form is.that. they as church have
always borne testimony against war.
We think all other Christians ought
to occupy the same ground on this
question that the friends do. So clear
and plain are the teachings of Christ
and the Apostles on the subject, and
the example of the Church of Christ
for the first three centuries of the
Christian era, it would seem that no
follower of the Lamb could have any
doubts that the Gospel of Christ was a
Gospel of Peace. But it is a SORROW
full fact that nine tenths Of those who
claim to be the followers of Jesus do
not regard this subject in this light,
hence the Society of Friends has q
mission to her sister churches as well
as to the world on this section.-Dan-
iel Hill in the Messenger of Peace.
The life of the whole Christian
world depends on prayer. If prayer
should cease it would wither and die.

Water aS n Disin fectant.

It is not generally known, perhaps,
because it may not be always credited,
that pure, fresh cold water is one of
the most valuable disinfectants, mas
much as it is a powerful absorbent.
Every sick room should have large
vessel of clear water, frequently renew
ed, placed near the bed, or even be.
meath it. This not only absorbs much
of the furtful vapor, but by its evapora-
ton it softens and tempers the atmos-
phere, doing away with the dryness
which is so trying and depressing to
an invalid, or even to persons in health
forthat matter. 1t has frequently been
shown, by actual experiment, that
troubled and threatened insomnia are
corrected by so simple thing as the
placing of an open bowl of water near
the sufferers bed.

4 Wife'R Dne.

During the trial of an important di-
vorce case before the superior court OF
Cook county, Illinois. recently sum-
married portion of what wife has a
right to claim in the following force
full language:
"When q woman gives up her soul
"and body to a man in marriage, she
lis entitled by the spirit, the sanctity,
"the divinity of the relationship, to
"more than a mere husband-at-law, to
"more than a house for shelter,
"clothes to wear and food to eat; she is
"entitled to respect, to confidence, to
"companionship, and to unfaltering
"love; she is entitled to chastity, as
"spotless as is demanded of her; not
"chastity born of ice, but chastity like
"charity, that doeth no evil and think
"eth no evil"
There is not a husband in this broad
land worthy of that name who will
in his heart dissent from this declara-
ton of what is due to a wife. Too
many men are, however, prone to per-
suade themselves that when thew pro-
vide all needed material good things
for home and wife and keep their per-
sonal lives clean, they are meeting all
and really marital obligations. They
are too apt to be forgetful of the conf
dence, unfailing respect, and more
than all the companionship, to say
nothing of the love. which are due ev-
cry good wife. These things were
hers in the girlhood home from which
she was transplanted, and they are es-
sential needs of her Woman's nature.
Had these things been freely yielded
to the wife in thousands of now wreck
ed families the door of the home would
have been effectually closed against
the approach of evil.-Chicago Chron-
icle.

home last Friday, the Goth ult., much improv-

to Chester, and Of the magnificent treatment
he received at the Devaga Hospital.
For several days after the operations recoV-
cry seemed almost impossible, but the able
and dexterious manner in which DR.. DeNaga
treated the com plIcated disease. and the care

The Election.

The election for six delegates TO the State
Convention came of yesterday. AS far as we
have heard the day was quiet one, though
considerable interest was felt In all parts OF
the county, and generally pretty fair vote
was cast.
At AtAbbeville the vote was, we believe, the
largest ever cast at this precint.
Mr.. w. c. MCGOWAN the Conservative can.
didate, ran right along with the leading Re
formers, receiving the votes Of both factions,
and the Conservatives, without regard 10
previous factional bias. voted for the re form
candidates. Only few men remained
away from the polls at this place.
The campaign was one OF the pleasantest
that We have had for years. The candidates
were cordial in their relations, and the peo-
pie had none of the factional feeling.
The result has proved the wisdom of not
going into trade. combine, or armed neu-
trality, by which the delegates were TO be di-
Yided between the factions. The race was
every mans race, and as result, we believe
that harmony has been res tored to our peo-
pie. If this be true, and we believe it is true,
then this campaign has resulted in good.

A SEVERE CRITICISM.
Rev. A. Nj. Williams breaches Notable
Sermon in Savannah.

Sermon in savannah.
The Rev. A. NJ. Williams, at one time
pastor of the Methodist church in Daw-
son, and now in charge of the Wesley
Monumental church at Savannah
preached sermon on the subject of
crime and value of human life, on last
Sunday, that is attracting considerable
attention. We find the following edito
rial reference to it in the Savannah
| News:
"Rev A. M. Williams, pastor of the
Wesley Monumental church, in the
course of his sermon Sunday "On the
Value of Human Life" is reported to
have said:
"'In ten months of 1894 there were T.
| TAT homIcides in the United States.
| What horror would come over this
whole country if cyclone should take
away the whole population of Americas
or an earthquake should engulf Athens.
Yet the malice and malignancy of man
has taken out of existence population
as large as either of these cities in one
year. My observation as to the punish
ment of murder in the highest spheres
of life is that if l were shot down on my
away home my assassin, if prominent
white man, would never receive the
ultimate punishment for his crime
"What a severe criticism upon this
community. And yet who will say it is
unjust? Is it not almost impossible to
secure the conviction of white man of
prominence of murder in this commun-
ity? And not in this community alone,
but in very many other communities in
this country. The delay in bringing
the accused to trial and the disposition
of juries to excuse the persons accused
all combine to defea the end of justice,
What is needed is healthier public senti-
meet in respect to punishment for the
crime of murder. People must be taught
to have a greater regard for human life.
When this is done trials of persons ac-
cused of murder will be more prompt
and juries will come nearer doing their
duty"

"sCHNEIDER,s BEST"
1t Is Said to Have Contributed to the Gov

1t Is Said to Have Contributed to the Gov
ernor's Recovery.
Old man Schneider, of Augusta, is dead
and gone, but the aroma of his fine old
liquor still fingers to cheer and heal. if
not sufficient to lnebriate. 1t is believed
that ''Schneider's best" contributed
largely to saving the governors life.
The Augusta Herald is authority for the
statement that last week when Governor
Atkinson was in the worst stage of his
illness, and needed a stimulant 20 sustain
life, your Uncle Bob Hardeman, the big
hearted state treasurer suggested that
little of the best brandy that could be
found in Georgia should be administered
to the patient. This could be found only
in Schneider's old stock in Augusta. A
wire message flashed to Augusta and
brought half a dozen bottles of the de-
sired elixir, with Schneider's brand on it..
Small quantities Of the brandy were
given the patient, who retained it, and
the effect was stimulating and strength
ening.
