The last day will demonstrate. 1t
will be found out on that day that God
vindicated not only his goodness and
his mercy, but his power to take care of
his own rights and the rights of his
church and the rights of his oppressed
children. Come, ye martyred dead,
awake and come up from the dungeons
where folded darkness hearsed you and
the chains like cankers peeled loose the
skin and wore off the flesh and ratified
on the marrowless bones. Come, ye mar
tyred dead, from the stakes where you
were burned where the arm uplifted
for mercy fell into the ashes and the
cry of pain was drowned in the snap
ping of the fame and the bowling of
the mob; from valleys of Piedmont and
Smithfield market and London Tower
and the highlands of Scotland. Gather
in great procession and together clap
your bony hands, and together stamp
your moldy feet and let the chains that
bound you to dungeons all clank at
once and gather all the flames that
burned you in one uplifted arm Of fire
and plead for judgment. Gather all
the tears ye ever wept into a lake and
gather all the sighs ye ever breathed
into tempest until the heaven piercing
chain clank and the tempest sigh and
the thunder groan announce to earth
and hell and heaven a judgment. Oh,
on that day God will vindicate his own
cause and vindioate the cause of the
troubled and the oppressed! 1t will be
seen i'll that day that though we may
have robbed our fellows, we never have
successfully robbed God
My Christian friends, as you go out
into the world exhibit an open hearted
Christian frankness. Do not be hype-
critical in anything. You are never safe
if you are. At the most inopportune
moment the sheep will bleat and the
oxen below. Drive out the last Amale-
kite Of sin from your soul. Have no
mercy on Agag. Down with your sins,
down with your pride, down with your
worldliness. know you cannot achieve
this work by your own arm, but al
mighty grace is sufficient-that which
saved Joseph in the pit, that which de-
livered Daniel in the den, that which
shielded Shadrach in the fire, that which
cheered Paul in the shipwreck.

The Palmetto State.

The Charleston News and Courier
thus explains the origin of South Caro-.
lina's nickname, the Palmetto State
con June %, 1916, force of less than
100 Carolinians under command OF
Moultrie, protected by the rude fortif-
cation on Sullivan's island, in Charles
ton harbor, made of the trunks of the
palmetto, repulsed the attacks of q
British fleet under command of Sir
Peter Parker, and when the state OF
South Carloina was organized the state
seal, which was first used i'll May, 1777,
was made to commemorate this victory.
A palm tree growing erect on the sea
shore represents the strength of the
fort, while at its base an oak tree torn
from the ground and deprived of its
branches recalls the British fleet, built
of oak timber, overcome by the pal
metto.

A NEW DINNER FAD.
Each Course Is Followed by Change

Each Course Is Followed by Change of
Base.
The New York man of fashion who
accepts an invitation to dinner party
nowadays is likely to enjoy the repast
at half a dozen different places. This
constitutes the latest fad. The diner
may take his soup at the Waldorf and
enjoy his ohartreuse in Chinatown,
while the Holland, Delmonico's or the
Manhattan may come in for the entrees
and roast; with several more places of
note to hear from. The fad is in actual
practice and budded and bloomed in a
single night
The thought is a brand new one and
was never tried until few days ago. A
Fifth avenue couple invited a score of
guests to dine with them. First came
the oysters and then the soup, after
which the fish put in an appearance.
Then there was apparent CONSERVATION.
The master of ceremonies ON the part of
the hotel was seen whispering to the
host. His face grew sober, and in a
voice in which anger and modification
were blended he told his guests that the
walters had struck and the hotel people
were unable to secure substitutes. There
was but one thing to do, he said, and
that was to go somewhere else.
Wraps were donned, and carriages
which were i'll waiting We're entered.
In few moments the dinner party
was Ell route to the Hotel Martin. 1t
was pleasant surprise to the guests to
find the private dining room agIow
with jonquils.
The entrees and the accompanying
wine were enjoyed hugely, and then
surprise No. presented itself. The
host, with horror stricken face, said
that owing to the suddenness with
which they had come upon the Martin
there were absolutely no roasts in suffi-
clent quantity to supply the company,
SO again the wraps We're donned, once
more carriages were entered and off
drove the party up Fifth avenue and
over to Delmonico's,
The roast eaten and the champagne
inspiration received, the host stated
with long face that the strangest of
all things had happened. Delmonico
declared that he could not serve a party
of that size with salad.
This time the carriages headed south
ward and down Fifth avenue to Grand
street. They We're then driven east un-
til tbs. Rowefy was reached. South on
the Bowery they went to Mott street
and up Mott street to Pell. There. just
off Mott and i'll the heart of New York S
Chinatown, the fashionables alighted
and entered the one big restaurant of
which this bit of the Celestial empire
can boast.
By this time the guests We're all
aware they were enjoying the strangest
course dinner that ever fell to the lot of
the ordinary New Yorker New York
Herald.

The uses of the common wooden store
box are legion. All sorts of cupboards
and chairs have been made from it. Its
most convenient use for summer is as a
catch all for things that..are handy to
have about, like the watering pot, the
trowel or the lawn shears. 1t can be set
up against the wall and painted the col.
or of the house, or if kept on the veran-
da pretty color of burlap may be used
to cover it. For veranda use it may be
covered with one of the striped couch

ties as shall fall upon them"
What tselfrenunciation and heroic purpose
was this! They drowned witches to be sure,
but that was no part of their puritanism. 1t
is to the puritan women we owe SO much for
that spirit in our people which gives them
the fortitude to endure hardship and stake
life and fortune for their convictions.
The American women of to-day have the
spirit of their puritan mothers, but their
constitutions are not rugged or able to en-
dure half the hardships of these New Eng
land ancestors. Very often they are run
down with weaknesses and irregularities
peculiar to their sex, and the constant drain
upon their vitality makes them chronic in
valids. Many women hesitate to go to
their family physician, because they dread
the local examinations SO generally insisted
upon by practitioners.
Such women should write DR.. R. V.
Pierce, chief consulting physician of the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute,
Buffalo, N. Y, giving full description of
their symptoms history, etc. so that he
can give them the best possible medical
advice. If DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip-
ton seems to suit the case the Doctor will
say so. If not, then he will give medical
| advice which will put such women on the
rapid road to recovery and health.

WITHOUT A COMPASS.

Various Ways of Correctly Guiding the
Course of Vessel.
Gustav Kobbe contributes an article
to st. Nicholas Mr.. Kobbe says:
Sailors steer by the wake of the ship
When vessel is running free-that is,
with the wind dead astern-she must
leave straight wake, or she is not run
ming straight course. When she is son
the wind" her canvas full, not shiver-
ing-when she is
As near as she will lie
By keeping full and bye
her wake will be at an angle greater or
less, according to the force of the wind
and the speed of the vessel. This angli
measures what we call the ships "lce
way"-that which she loses from true
course. With a vessel hove to in a gale
the leeway becomes very large and is
called the drift. "
Coasting craft steer by the line Of
white surf ON the shore or in thick
weather by its roar as it breaks on
the beach or rocks. They haul in to
catch the sound, then keep off until
they lose it, and then haul in again to
a central line and maintain it. An old
sea dog once told me that one thick
night, coming up along the coast with
head wind SO that they had to tack in
and off shore, they sailed their tacks,
or ran their legs" by candles-run-
ming off shore long enough to burn out
two candles. but burning one for the
inshore leg. SO as to avoid standing in
too close.
The Alaska steamers on the inside
route between the main coast and nu-
merous outlying islands steer, even in
running through the narrowest chan
nels, by the varying echoes of the pad
dies from the shores
A given course can also be run by
soupdings. or, rather, by line of
soundings. In entering New York har
Dor keep in, say, 10, 20, 40 fathoms. no

God asks of us one-seventh of our time
in the way of Sabbath. Do you suppose
we can get an hour of that time success
fully away from its true object? No, no.
God has demanded one-seventh of your
time. If you take one hour of that time
that is to be devoted to Gods service
and instead of keeping his Sabbath use
it for the purpose of writing up your
accounts or making worldly gains, God
will get that hour from you in some un-
expected way. God says to Jonah, "You
go to Nineveh. He says: "No, l
won't I'll go to Tarshish. He starts
for Tarshish. The sea raves, the winds
blow and the ship rocks. Come, ye
whales, and take this passenger for Tar
shishl No man ever gets to Tarshish
whom God tells to go to Nineveh. The
sea would not carry him; it is Gods
sea. The winds would not watt him;
they are Gods winds. Let a man at
tempt to do that which God forbids him
to do or to go into place where God
tells him not to go, the natural world
as well as God is against him. The
lightnings are ready to strike him, the
fires to burn him, the sun to smite him,
the waters to drown him, and the earth
to swallow him. Those whose princely
robes are woven out of heartstrings,
