SUNDAY SERVICE.
Rev. Charles f. Todd In the Associate
Reformed PuIptt at AbbeviIle.

Rev. Charles E. Todd, President OF the Due
West Female College. conducted service last
Sunday morning In the ASSOCIATE Sn Eet9rmed &c 3 20

something of his own enthusiasm. He

martyrdom for their religion. Under the en-
| liehtened and more civ Hilizing influence OF
the Christian religion which has permeated
| freedom is guaranteed to every one, and there
| no longer exists the occasion for martyrdom.
But If II were possible to put all Christians to
the test, there would be found great numbers
er than renounce their faith.
The Doctor eulogized the grand and glo-
rious work which the Christian missionaries
are doing In the uttermost parts Of the earth.
Wherever the foot OF man has pressed the soil
missionaries have gone TO propagate the glo-
rious truths OF Christianity, and these minis
ters OF the true and living God are safe in all
lands. Even In Cuba whose soil is now Grim.
son with the blood of contending armies,
Christian miss ionaries are safe. and none may
put them To death. Dlaz. the Baptist mis-
sionary, now captive in Cuba. will not suf-
fer martyrdom. Spain dare not harm him.
Rough and corrupt as this government OF the
United States may be, there exists In the
American heart that love of religious liberty
which will protect the Baptist missionary
who now languishes in prison for no greater.
crime than that OF preaching the doctrines OF
our blessed Lord and Master.
The Doctor, unlike many Of his profession, !,
keeps well Informed as to current events, and
does not hesitate TO cite them to give moral
force to the Christian truths. A we'll inform
ed preacher always holds the attention OF bis
audience, while an ignorant preacher, who
knows little or nothing OF the current events,
can do little else than tire and weary an au.
dlence. The Doctor In other respects avoided
the custom of another class OF ignorant
preachers who show off their lack Of learning
by attempting to show wherein the King
James commission made mistakes IN the
translation OF the Bible. The Doctor, like the
average run of educated men. made no objec-
tion 10 the Bible as be found 1t.
Al the close OF the service congregational
meeting was held, and the subject Of pastor
was discussed. The matter was finally dis
posed Of by appointing committee.

RESTLESS
CONVALESCENTS.
Counterpin, Golf, Tennis, and Gro
Quet Help to Amuse

Every mother who has nursed her child
through serious Illness is familiar with
the trying period of d restless. fretful
convalescence. If a trained nurse has
been d necessity, she must usually he us
pensed with as soon as possible, or IL rela-
tives or friends have come to the mothers
assistance they must SO speedily return
to their own cares Anything to amuse
child at this time is a Godsend, indeed.
A little hoy recovering from a terrible
accident found great amusement in a
bunch of long, slender radishes, by cary
ing them into wonderfully close INIT alton
of any animal he fancied. With penknife
he cut eyes, nose and mouth using wooden
toothpicks, cut into proper lengths, for
ears, legs and tails. This same laddie also
made very interesting lot of ANNA Is some

purpose, and the dearest wee turtles ini.

cloves for feet.
II the coDvalescent is a little girl she
may not take kindly to the knife, but
with a II tile help from her elders, paper
dolls may be made conpanionable, tina the
sick bed will be looked back upon as the
most Fascinating playground of her life.
The bed spread will lend itself to golf,
tennis and croquet, while the paper men
and women take liza nd a I each, the while
they are love making, marrying and giving
in marriage and by FAR the most interesting
of all actually settling down to housekeep-
ing, with servants and children galore.
The writer has seen more real pleasure
impaired by paper dolls than by the
most expensive of their waXen brothers
and sisters. One moment and the bed
becomes concert hall, with mothers
bandbox for the stage, wonderful songs
are sung by bewitching maidens or SOL
dierly young men of paper; the next it is
church, and paper clergyman is holding
forth to large congregation of like fraiI
nature with himself, or. best of all. the
scene changes to real life, and here is a
cosy home, with furniture of the most com

Washington has many collections and
many collectors. Difference has been paid

others, the nucleus of what lack OF means
or time or opportunity will not permit
desire to realize.
There are, however, a number of incom-

multitude. They are secreted, not sell

One OF the most interesting species of
frog that have been described is the one
discovered by Mr.. Wallace in Borneo a
number of years ago.
1t has been popularity called the flying
frog" from the fact that it has toes OF
great length. and these are fully webbed
to the tips II the animal wishes to de-
scend from the top of a high tree, it has
My to make the leap, and by spreading
Jdt its toes it converts its reetinto veritable
aarachutes. and thus this little aerial bat
aciiian reaches terra firma In safety
Among the most curious types are the
tree frogs, and Gibson says these ''ars

having the ends OF their toes dllated into
knobs or disks. generally provided with

FAMOUS HEADS IN CLAY.

of these is an ugly green parian bust OF
