contentment. Thousands of men are
anxiously awaiting the coming of the
wave of prosperity" it may be they will
be better if it never comes. Men forget
God in prosperous times. They need ad-
versity to give them proper tone. For
nearly four years Ihave been suffering,
yet today, glory in my infrmities, be-
cause they help me to say, with the APP
ostle, 'for have learned in whatsoever
state l am, Herewith to be content"
Phil. 4: IL. A distinguished aNkstsr,
forty years in the service, says he can't
say it. Then it would not do for him to at
tempt to preach from that text. TO give
up preaching has been a terrible trial to
me, and the clouds in my sphere are some
times dark and lowering; but they re-
volve into the pillar of clouds by day and
the pillar of fire by night that will lead
me into closer communion with our
heavenly Father. If / am unable to
preach may read, and occasionally write
some thing that some one will read; and
If good comes thereform, God gets the
glory, for to Him belong, and He is
entitled to whatever service l may be
able to give. The benediction of the
Father be upon the readers who may see
these words today.

THE FORGOTTEN MAN.

Who Said it First? A Caveat Entered for
Mr.. Blalock, of Stanley.
To the Editor: You and the Charlotte
Observer seem interested in solving this
question as between Messrs. Page and
Mills. l have heard of a prior claim.
In 1890 when the township convention
was held at Norwood in Stanley county,
to appoint delegates to the county con-
vention, gentleman in advocating the
claims Of his choice for Congressman
deprecated the advocacy of any man
on account of his profession, and dilated
upon the usefulness of merchants, law
yers, ministers, doctors and others, omit
ting farmers. Mr.. M. x. Blalock called
attention to the omission, and said it
had mot been done because the gentle
man was hostile to farmers, he had just
forgotten him, that everybody was the
farmers friend and desired his welfare,
but the trouble was when time for &C
tion came he was forgotten"
If the "thing" is to be patented, de-
sire to enter the "caveat" for Mr.. Bla-
lock.

At II a. m. Rev. +. d. Swindell of

the body" Heb. 1873 This breaches
the doctrine of the brotherhood OF man
| in it's relation to human suffering. Don't
forget the man who may be suffering in
bonds the result of sinful 0aLits. God
calls on you to remember him. Loose
him and let him CO." Though he may
have lain among the pots, your consid-
GRAFTON for him is likely to bring him
| forth as 'sbanishej dove with wings of
silver and feathers Of yellow gold.' You
say you would nave- have done as be.
All, my brother you may have done worse,
had not you power 10 resist
evil been stronger than his; and this
should make you remember the fact that
lyou are yet in the body. There is moth
| ing sweeter, more refreshing, nobler than
the human sympathy which goes out to
such as may be suffering from adversely,
produced by any cause, and gives an up
lifting force. ''And he took him by the
right hand and lifted him up" The
man who does this is doing what God
wants him to do; yea, what He COM
mands "This commandment | give unite
you, that We love one another" And you
may claim His friendship if you fulfill
this royal law. eye are my friends if you
do whatsoever l have commanded you"
Reader, the command to you is that you
do as you would be zone by.
SOMETHING TO LEAVE OUT.
"Let your conversation be without
lcovetousness." What does it mean? Get
your dictionary and then decide what a
miserable failure you are at keeping this
law. The Apostle says that "Covetous-
ness is idolatry.' And when you find out
the meaning Of the word very few Of
GU will be able to escape Indictment for
idolatry. You have paid few dollars
! this year for the conversion OF the
heather when you need conversion your
elf If your conversation is mixed with
covetousness you are not converted to
Christianity. The Saviour says: "Take
heed and beware of covetousness. This
/ is a danger signal-beware.
CONFINEMENT THE THING.
'Be content with such things as ye
have" Why? Because he hath said, Il
will never leave thee, nor forsake thee"
Heb. 1876. That's good. Do we want
anything better? Not l. Then you, who
may be in bonds or suffering adversely,
take courage; foot it bravely, weak or
weary; God is with you and will raise up
friends in the hour of need to help you
fight the battle. Let contentment shine
out from your eyes and face, illuminat-
ing the whole being. 1t will all be right
in a little while. For here we have no
continuing city, but we seek one to
come" Heb. ID: IA. So we shall reach
the city. / always loved the city; and SO

honor. His contentment was brought
about by the knowledge that some day
he would be rich in his heavenly home.

Things to Think On

To the Editor: Whatsoever
shings are true, whatsoever things
are honest, whatsoever things
are lovely, whatsoever things are OF
good report; If there be any virtue, and
IL there be any praise, think on these
things Phil. As. You are responsible
&c God for your thoughts. Every secret
thing, good or evil is to be brought into
judgment. "As a man thinketh ia his
heart SO is he" Your character can be
no, Better than your thoughts. The inn
pure heart is not the dwelling place of
Christ Only the pure in heart are prom
ised a sight of God. 1t is so much easier
TO think evil than good, that ordinarily
sxr thoughts are on things just the OPP
posite to those enjoined by the text.
Especially is this true in the matter of
whatsoever things are of good report"
How much delight some take in spread
ing evil reports. Now listen at the sister
who has just heard something deroga-
tory to the character of a neighbOr and
has gone over to another neighbOr's to
repeat the scandal. "But mind you."
she says, tI don't tell this Of my own
knowledge, Miss Teller is my authority,
and really don't know if it be true or
not. It's awful If it is, say nothing, |
would not have spoken of it to any but
you;" and out the old hypocrite goes to
spread this neighborhood scandal to the
detriment Of some woman, perhaps, a
thousand times better than she. The scan
dal monger needs to be hanged by the
Hongue. The man or woman always
thinking evil is Gods deadly enemy.
HOW WOMEN SHOULD BE BE-
HAVE.
@That they be in behavior as becometh
holiness, not false accusers, teachers Of
good things; that they may teach the
young women to be sober, to be dis
greet, chaste, keepers at home, good
obedient to their husbands, to love their
children" Paul to Titus. know there
are some women who call Paul the "crus-
ty old bachelor" but all the same, he
knows just how to talk to the woman
whose life is spent in idle, damaging
gossip; and the woman who wants to be
IN the masculine gender. / have nothing
to preach to the good, obedient women,
they are the best crea lures on earth
the angels not excepted.
SOMETHING NOT TO FORGET.
be not IOrgeUIul 10 entertain StTduS-
ers; for thereby some have entertained
angels unawares," Heb. 1872. There is
no virtue more beautiful than genuine
christian hospitality. "Be given to hos
pitality," is an injunction that should
be obeyed Nothing could be more con-
ducive in bringing about state Of pure
socialism. We are so prone to think only
Of self that the stranger in our midst
IS often forgotten. When you care for
him you care for Christ. II was a
stranger and We took me in" Some Of
my happiest reflections are those brought
about by thinking of the kindness and
hospitality of the many with whom /
have been thrown in contact. ITO do
good and to communicate forget not;

Even in the late forties, when the
electric telegraph had been used In
England for several years, n country

him send IL off. The operator hung
the paper on the hook, and quickly
