Take Care of the Home.

We need better homes and better IA
theirs. God be praised for Christian
homes and wives who are chaste keep
ers at home; who are busy nursing their
children and caring for the sick and
have no time to come to conventions
and read essays that electrify the Wis
iting sisters. Smash every Sunday
school, scatter every mission circle. de-
sCrt every church, rather than neglect
the home or fail to buttress 1t with ev
cry help and every grace. -Rev. w. w.
Landrum, Baptist, Gainesville.
Venice.
Venice is marvel of history, with
the charm of luxury ever resting upon
it, seductive to the artist and most
stimulating to the student, but carrying
with it, both in the past and the present
something very unattractive to the NOR
al sense and depressing to the spiritual
aspirations. Here the occident and the
trient meet. Both political independ-
ence and artistic excellence were err
liest won by commercial prosperity.
Here, in the queen of the Adriatic, we
find the apotheosis of wealth. 1t has
built city that has endured ! 900
years, still beautiful, still strong. Its
architectural permanence is as striking
rs its architectural beauty and grace
Bat its place in history is as shallow as
the elegant canals that form its streets

The only newspaper we know
of that is against the proposed
constitutional convention is the
Southern Record, of Jennings.
The editor of that journal is
strongly opposed to it under any
circumstances. Well, Bro. Mil
Ter, while it may not be exactly
what the whole people want, es-
pecially where the powers of the
convention are limited, yet at the
same time the convention can 90
a vast amount Of good, especially
in remOdelling our judiciary Sys-
tenn, which at present is an injustice
upon the people, and a heavy bur-
den on the tax payers. There are
several other matters that could be
acted upon, but the question of
the present judiciary system is
paramount to all Others.-Rayn
Tribune.
Do you expect any good to come
from this convention Brother
Hearne! Ii the administration
can control-with the aid of the
Fitzpatrick influence, he is great
optimist who can expect for the
general welfare to be considered.
And again Rayne Tribune! The
Progress must differ from you as
to the most important thing to be
considered. There are several
things in our opinion that need
attention before the judiciary sys-
tenn. For instance the suffrage,
futures and options, Bucket shops,
the penitentiary lease and some
more, although this judiciary de-
partment should be remodelled.

Lesson For the Week Beginning sept. IL.
Comment by Rev. w. j. Yates, \. NJ.
Topic, Early Disciples of Christ.

SCRIPTURE READING.-1 Cor. i, &c Is: Gal
II. s.
The early disciples Were not from the
ranks Of the professedly learned and po-
htically influential. mot many wise
men, after the flesh. not many mighty,
not many noble, are called, but God
hath chosen the foolish things of the
world to confound the wise, and God
hath chosen the weak things of the
world to confound the things which are
mighty" Base things and things de-
spised We're chosen of God SO that the
glory Of establishing his church should
not be claimed by men. Jesus gave
thanks to the Father that the things Of
the kingdom had been hidden from the
wise and prudent and revealed unto
babes.
The gospel of Jesus Christ is not an
ingeniously devised fancy. 1t is not q
philosophical system elaborated with
care by the profound thinkers of the
race. 1t arose among a people not noted
for philosophers. 1t borrowed nothing
from the thinkers of Greece or the ORR
ent. 1t was proclaimed by Galilean
Carpenter to men in humble life who
found it the power of God unto saliva
ton to every one that bel!eveth." 1t is
the most simple of all religions which
have claimed mems attention. 1t is the
most profound and farreaching. 1t is
the most exclusive in its claims. the
most universal in it's aims, the purest
in its precepts, the most hopeful and
joyous. 1t is the greatest demolisher OF
fraud, violence and wrong and the un-
compromising advocate Of justice and
right. 1t levels all earthly distinctions
and recognizes but two classes Of men,
the lost sinners and the sinners saved by
the grace of God.

statement made a few DAYS ago that
there Is likely to be nearly years sup

the new tariff bill goes into effect. While
me retroactive clause. So-called, of the
l'lngl"y bill probably prevented some Of
the new contracts which would have
been made ana the new orders which
would have been given. it did not reduce
the amount of goods brought III during
April, as compared with the preceding
month. That clause of the bill provided
that the new rates of duty should apply
upon all goods coming i'll after April |
which had been purchased prior to
mat date. This. of course. permitted ali
goods contracted for ordered prior %
April to come in under Wilson law rates
and also left it largely in the hands
OF the importers to Indicate by their own
statements whether goods coming in after
AprI | had been purchased or ordered
prior to that date. Some of the import
crS have also clung to the belief that this
feature of the bill would fail to pass the
Senate. especially in view of recent pub
llcations so Indicating. while still others
have chosen to take the risks upon being
required to pay the extra duty in case
this feature of the bill should become a
law.
Th" result Of these conditions is that
the total inportati0nS of foreign goods
have jumped from so OOO. 900 in Au-
gust. 1896, to $4,000. 900 last month.
The most notable increase has come from
