no Bishop to put his foot down on any
such innovation. We have no power of

Expressed In the Sectarlan Press
Ministers and Laymen.

Commenting upon the recent pastoral
letter of the Protestant Episcopal Bish-
ops the COngregationGIiSt remarks: "To
put it briefly, the grave question to be
answered is this: Is the supernatural ele-
ment in the Christian religion to be re-
garded henceforth as unimportant, if not
also actually unreal? If the birth of
Jesus were only like that OF other men,
and if the Scriptures are not inspired in
sense different from the writings of
Shakespeare, for example, the Christian
Church has been grossly deceived and
has been teaching grave errors through
out the centuries. Probably it is we'll
that this issue has been made so defin-
ltely. Signs have not been wanting for
some time that conflict in regard to it
was at hand. The foundations of Chris
tian truth and belief are now undergoing
re-eXamlnatlon with an earnestness
probably unprecedented, The result
will be to establish the gospel of Jesus
Christ more firmly than ever, and to give
better vantage-ground from which to
face the exigencies of thecoming century.
! w nave no Tears as to the result of the
probable conflict. Whatever may be de-
| clded I'D regard to this Individual or that.
| whatever may be the effect upon the
! Episcopal Church, no one need be appre-
henslye lest faith in the supernatural and
truly divine elements OF Christianity be
surrendered by Christians i'll general"

Glove for Love-"

As dirty, ragged street-boy was
running along one day an accident be-
fell him. He was pushed into the
gutter, and for minute or two he lay
hurt and screaming, until rough
hand picked him up. He was not a
beautiful object to look at az he stood
propped up against pillar, his face
and hands blackened with mud and
the tears running down his cheeks.
No one stopped to pity him. If any
one noticed him at all it was only some
rude boy who Knocked and laughed at
him. Poor little fellow it didn't
seem as if he had single friend in the
world. But lady passed. She
caught sight Of the crouching, unhap-
py figure and suddenly stopped.
"Why, John" she said, "is it you?"
She had recognized in him boy she
had once taught in her Sunday-school.
He told her his troubles and the pain
his fall was causing him and, full Of
pity she had him removed to the hos
pital, where he was tenderly cared for.
A year passed, and one night this
same boy, now we'll and strong again,
found himself drawn along by crowd
to dwelling-house that was on fire.
The engine had not yet arrived, nor
the inmates rescued. But no sooner
had he caught sight Of the house than
the cry burst from him, 20, she lives
there - and bravely he struggled up
the staircase through the smoke. He
hunted until he found her of whom he
was in search. She had tainted, but
putting out all his strength the boy
lifted and carried her out into the fresh
air. And then, as the amazed by
ISLANDERS cheered and praised MIN lot
his courage he walked away muttering,
"She didn' turn away from me when
I was hurt. u
Love had done it. The love the
lady had shown to him had awakened
an answering chord Of love in the boy S
heart.
And it is, as We think of all that
Jesus has cone for US, Of the love
which led him even to die for us, that
We are constrained to say, "We love

The Uses OF Hot Water.
The best methods of using hot water

The best methods of using hot water
are as follows:
For sprains Of the ankle and wrist
or any joint, the part should be thor
oughly soaked for half an hour at a
time, night and morning, in very hot
water, writes A. Marcy, NJ. D., in e
very valuable list of Domestic
Household Remedies in the January
Ladies' Home Journal. Any one
suffering from a severe sprain will not
require more than the first soaking to
convince them of the advantages Of
hot over cold water. A flannel band
age should be applied firmly after
each treatment. For bruises, very
much the same method should be fol-
lowed, although the application need
not be continued for SO long time.
For wounds and sores the best method
is to drip or pour for few minutes.
For stys and inAamed eyes, use water
as hot as can be borne, by sopping.
To stop bleeding, very hot water ap-
piled to the raw surface will be found
eficacious. For many forms of dys-
pepsia and biliousness, particularly a
catarrhal condition Of stomach, COB
let of hot water, drunk after the
nights fasting, will give relief. For
continued application, in the form of
a poultice, as in catarrh of the breast,
pleurisy, pneumonia, ETC., jacket of
cotton batting wrung out in very hot
water by means Of towel, and covered
with oiled silk or waxed paper, should
be used.

Prices and Prices.

Mr.. Lewis Hancock, in the Calves
ton Ne,es, closed an elaborate article
on the present and past purchasing
power of the dollar and of the cotton
bale, as follows
"The average percentage of the
6fty-fve staples which a dollar will
buy now, compared to the amount it
bought in 1873, is 227 per cent. That
is, 81 now will buy as much as 1927
would buy in 1873. The price for
which farmer sells bale of cotton
now is certainly less than he obtained
for the same grade in 1873, but the
prices of the articles which enter into
his daily life have fallen lower still.
GAS I stated above the actual aver
age prices of cotton in Texas in 1872
was 13 cents pound, ut which bale
of cotton Of sou pounds would yield
$65. The actual average selling price
during the fall Of 1893, in the midst
of panic, was 7.O7 cents, at which a
bale of cotton would net here s35.35 !;
a difference in actual cash Of $29.65.
But, as dollar now will buy 2.27
times as much as it bought in 1872,
the bale of cotton at $35.35 will buy
as much in groceries, dry goods, hard
ware, etc., as 5000 would have
bought in 1872, being difference Of
s15.24, or % per cent. in favor Of the
farmer of to-day.
eff the difference in the price of
ginning, bagging and ties, and of cot
ton seed be taken into account. the
balance in favor of the farmer Of TO-
day will be increased to s37.27, or Il
per cent. If the average price Of cot
ton for the last five years-l0.62 cents
BE taken as the basis Of calculation,
the favorable balance will be greater
still.
"There does not seem to be here a
basis for argument in favor of chang
ing our currency system. Any system
under which the farmers of the South
can, in twenty years, increase their
production from 100000 to 100000
bales and yet buy with each bale Il
per cent. more of the necessaries Of
life than formerly, would seem to be
too good to trife with.

lurk in the bosom of the storm. A
Dakota school mistress last winter
failed to dismiss her scholars in time
for them to reach home, and found
herself and them prisoners from a
blizzard's approach. A night and
day at least were before her, during
which her little charges must be pro-
tected. Deliberately she apportioned
the food remaining in the dinner pals,
divided the larger boys into squads to
keep the fire burning steadily, and
when darkness came put the younger
pupils to sleep on the benches. Then
through the bitter night she sang, de-
claimed, told stories, invented games
and kept the frightened children
amused and cheered as best she could.
The following day passed much the
same-but still no abatement Of the
storm, nor any rescue. The second
night was dreary, indeed. The chill
dren cried themselves to sleep, hun
cry and cold. With her own hands
the teacher broke up desks and black
board to feed the voracious stove.
With morning came shout at the
door as the settlers shoveled away the
snow, and then the plucky girl to whom
the children owed their lives showed
her womanliness-and tainted.
The loss among stock on the plains
by each blizzard is appalling. There
is less exposure Of herds and Aocks
now than in earlier timeA yet every
season causes the destruction Of thous-
ends Of head of cattle and sheep on
the ranges and in the unsheltered cor
rails. Several years ago, during the
height Of the Texas cattle trade, biz
zard in western Kansas early in De-
cember destroyed more than half Of
300, 1000 cattle that were being herded
on the open prairie. At one railway
station, after the storm, $4,000 hides
were shipped; atanother 2O,OOO One
rancbman found but 225 head alive
out of $500 that had been grazing
before the catastrophe. Several hun
dred ponies and score Of herders also
perished.
The blizzard is a permanent feature
of the prairie winter. Nothing but a
decided climatic revolution can secure
to the great Transmississippi region
immunity from its death-bearing pres
ence. Better preparations are yearly
being made to Withstand it's fury, and
to protect more generously the dumb
animals who suffer equally with their
masters. The signal service is rem
dering aid in warning communities
reached by telegraph Of the storm s
approach, while the settlers, taught
by bitter experience, take with each
season better precautions and provide
more intelligently for their time of
need, which is sure to come.
But, with all mans care and de-
fense, the blizzard remains uncon-
quered. 1t is cruel, relentless and
unmerciful as some Morse god, from
whose kingdom it comes. 1t is one
of the Vests possessions which is
wholly and irredeemable; in its fore
front is apprehension; at its height,
terror; in it's wake, desolation and suf-
fering-somctimes death.

I afterwards saw was much smalle- i.
The deputy was here. He read over
the charge to me in loud voice. and
asked if I was guilty. I told him l
was. Then I tasted the lash for the
first time. The strap which he used
was made from heavy leather. It
came down on my bare back ten times
with all the force the deputy could
use.
CATER he had finished was scarce
ly able to put on my clothes, | was so
exhausted.
"This was the only time I ever
tasted the leather and the last, if hold
ing my tongue has anything to do
with it.
"The number of lashes in cases Of
this kindly vary Of course, according
to the nature of the offense. But this
style Of punishment is nothing to some
I have seen. One man that I know of
was strung up for three days.
''The process is about this: The
convict is handcuffed and his hands
drawn up over his head, where they
are tied to chain suspended from the
ceiling. In this position he is forced
to remain until his sentence is finish
ed. During this time he is allowed
nothing to eat except bread and
water.
Here Bracket gave an interesting
account of the religious side of prison
life. In the large chapel there, he
said, corps Of teachers assemble
every Sunday morning. They are US.
ually citizens bent on doing home
mission work. There are three ser,
vices during the day, but in order to
attend written permission must be
obtained from the chaplain and this
is tackled on the door of the convict
cell so that the guard can call for him.
"The convicts, as whole, are a
very religious set," continued Brack'
EFT, "and their enthusiasm at the
different meetings would surprise you
It is one of the few times We are al
lowed to talk, at these meetings, and
when the preacher calls for the exper'
ienoe of the men nearly all of them
get up and say something, just to keer
their tongues from going to sleep.
"With the large number Of conyicts
there it is rare thing that we see q
man we know. The best friend I had
in the world might be there with me
for years and I could never know what
he was doing or have anything to say
to him.
IT caught q glimpse Of old Jim
Lawshe the other day. He was march
ing along with a squad Of machinists
going to work. His head was shaved
and he was stepping high. He saw
me and winked-that was all he could
do. Jim is good workman and they
keep him employed all the time.
IT have never seen any of the rest
of the boys. Lewis Redwine is in the
deputy's Office, but I have never seen
him, nor Laird either. I"
Bracket says that he has been
treated kindly, especially by Deputy
James, who brought him to Atlanta.
The convict will remain here until the
trial of McKutoheon, who is charged
with stealing still from the officers
after it had been captured.
