The National Financial school

The National Financial school IS the
name Of an organization which is max
ing some Roadway in the middle north
ern states and perhaps also in other
sections of the country. Its ostensible
object is to conduct nonpartisan study
OF American finance. It's prospectus,
however, contains some expressions
such as restoration of thoroughly
American financial policy" which indi-
Gates the real object of the promoters.
The organization was recently extended
into Boone county, Ind. where seven
financial schools besides the advance
school" and the county school, are
now in operation. each with presidents,
secretaries. instructors and directors.
These financial schools should be en-
couraged by all sound money men and
organizations. There is no more GER
tain way of Kidding the country of the
siXteeu-to-one-e than by educating the
voters on the money question. If the
schools are real schools and not merely
lecture rooms. there cannot be too many
of them. rs they are noupartisan. books
and literature on both sides Of the sill

More and more there is growing a
disposition among parents to permit all
matters of religious observance to be
with their offspring mere matters of
choice of preference. Your child
must learn French and German and
drawing; but he shall learn his cate
chism and his Bible lesson and reve-
rent observance of this holy day if he
chooses, and not otherwise. A more
dismal and irrational folly it is not easy
to conceive Of do uot say that there
may not have been folly in another
and an opposite direction. l am not
unmindful that religious teaching has
been sometimes made dreary and in
tolerable burden. But surely we can
correct one excess-not, I apprehend.
very frequent or very harmful-with-
out straightway flying to an opposite
and worse one. And so I plead with
you who are parents to train your chill
dren to ways of reverent familiarity
with Gods house and Gods day.
Let them understand that something
higher than your taste to prefer
ence makes these things sacred and
binding, and constrains you to embue
them with your spirit. And that they
may do this more effectually, give
them, entreat you, that mightiest
teaching, which consists in your own
con sistent and devout example.

The article on the Raine's Law, will afford
interesting reading to the people OF South
Carolina. We are not familiar with the terms
that the doors Of 1900 saloons have been
closed will prove the wholesome effect OF the
law.
The picnic or river restaurants being
closed to the debauchery Of the people 10 also
great thing In its favor.
Even at $50 day for Sunday debauchery Is
cheap, but If such establishments are closed
all good people in every part of the country
will have reason to be thankful.
The dispensary law In South Carolina closed
1000 barrooms in South Carolina and a great
howl went up because 5000 men were thrown
out OF employment. That is to say, that
they were removed from the destructive to
the productive side OF the economy.

nearly every needed article. The men have
gone actively to work, and are prosperous
and useful citizens. They have obeyed the
law, and, as far as we know, not one OF them
has sought TO nullify the law Of the State.
The article in reference to the Raine's Law.
Is most gratifying. A large number OF the
places which lead the unwary into tempta-
tion have been closed. The houses are now

The lSreat Needs.

Different people suffer from lack Of various
things, for instance:
. The people of China need Bibles and mis-
sIonaries;
The people of the Klondlke region need
bread;
But the people OF South Carolina need H.
quor.
For the last five years the cry from the daily
newspapers has been "nauor," "liquor,"
more liquor" or something to that effect.
Volumes have been written on the subject,
and all the eloquence at their command has
been directed to those who are trying to en-.
force the law against the indiscriminate sale
Of intoxicating liquors.
Theimportance Of good roads, the value OF
manufacturing industries, and the material
prosperity of the country has received COM
paratively no notice. The great and allah.
sorbing question is "liquor." And more ef.
fort has been directed to the increase OF the
liquor traffic than has been given to all the
industrial Interests combined.
The Importance or necessity for increasing
our liquor trade has even attracted the atten.
tion Of the Georgia press, and instead OF d.
recting their energies TO the suppression oi
cruelties to their convicts-cruelties that
would disgrace barbaric coun try-they give
much Of their valuable time to the liquor In.
terests OF South Carolina.
The moral or material development Of this
State has never received half the attention
that has been given to the encouragement ol
the liquor traffic.
And it Is perhaps the first time in the his
tory OF newspapers In this State that any por
tion OF the press has aligned itself avowedly
with the liquor interest," as against the moral
ity or sobriety OF the people.
South Carolina is 80 badly In need Of liquor
that 1t Is necessary to resort to doubtful or un
lawful methods to get it, and those who seek
to violate and break down our laws are moi
without sympathisers from those who should
support law and order.

There is an ocean Of difference be.
tween housekeeping and home making,
One is business, the other in an art.
Many women make great successes in
the business who fail absolutely in the
art. Their houses are perfectly kept.
Every department is run with care and
exactness. There is never q failure to
meet demand; but 1t is not a home.
A home exists for the comfort, happt.
ness, and health of the family. There
is no department of housekeeping that
is not made to yield to the needs of any
member. There is never crisis Of
temper if a meal is late or the convent
ience of a member demands change
in the hour. A few minutes-yea
even q number of minutes-spent in
kindly converse in the morning. the
call of a friend, or the sudden desire
for an hours outing, never seems to
the home-maker a violation of the
moral code. Dust does not cause
nightmare, nor order display which
love and charity agree to call nervous
ness. Not things, but souls. are the
objects of the home-maker's care.
She values peace more than system,
happiness more than regularity, con-
tent more than work accomplished.
Yet, with it all, her house, when she
touches perfection, is the essence of re-
gularity, order, and quiet. 1t is this
that makes home-making an art. And
she alone is home-maker who has a
true sense of proportion.

A correspondent of the "Christian
Herald' says "Are any of US missing
to-day golden opportunities to bind our
children to us by the mighty hands of
sympathy? Sympathy means 80 much
to a child-and how quickly does a
child learn who are its sympathizers
They only are the ones who can lead
him to the right-yes, or to the wrong.
The sympathy we give our little ones
now will measure the strength of our
influence with them when they are
older and less dependent upon us. If
we would have their confidence and so
be able to help them by and by, let us
not fail to sow the seed of the harvest
we would reap. I suspect many 8
mother has lost her influence over her
boy and mourned his wayWardness
more because she had failed to take an
interest in his baseball or his bugs and
beetles than because she did not give
him proper teaching. And I suspect
that many girl has gone wrong who
would not have done so if her mother
had thought it worth while to admire
her childish gift of dandelions of clover,
and to heartily thank her for them.
Then when she was older, her mother
ridiculed her girlish fancy for some in
nocent schoolboy friend, and unsym-
pathetically told her she was altogether
too young to be thinking of the atten-
ton of young men. Perhaps she was,
but o, there are ways and ways of do
ing the same thing, and, above all,
mothers should be tenderly careful lest
their lack of sympathy should repel
the confidence of children. And not
only should we encourage them to con-
fide in US, but let us also confide in
them, and let nothing that interests
them be too insignificant to enlist our
enthusiasm. Let US read with them,
help them make puzzles, and tell them
stories. Let us join them in croquet
or parchesi, and love their dear little
white rabbits, their butterflies, and
toads, if only because they do. o let
us hold them fast-these darlings of
ours; let US forge the strong chains of
love, not that we may keep our chill
dren always with us-We cannot do
that-but that, if only for the love they
bear US, they shall not drift from the
moorings of righteousness.
"The years are passing. Let each
one make US nearer and dearer to the
hearts of our children. Let US bless
them while we may. Let us point
them, train them, lead them, love
them into the kingdom of God and
heaven"

GlOriOus Outlook.

The outlook for business at Abbeville was
never better than 1t is now, and every firm is
hopeful OF the Oest results for their inves t
ments.
Trade has been fairly good all summer, and
now the prospect Is that large business will
be done In all lines.
The cotton mill business is beginning to be
felt in the town, and the mill Itself seems to
be on the very Threshold OF success. About
two thirds OF the looms are running and the
cloth which they make Is OF first grade
Much cloth has already been shipped. Last
Saturday &c, 900 yards were sent of. and since
then an order for 100000 yards has been re-

The great majority of people will
find the work of life near at hand. II
may be, perhaps, to correct the faults
in ones life, to sweeten the atmos
phere of home, to bless the local
Church, to consecrate ones business,
or to purify the political atmosphere.
Trite and true as is this statement. il
is difficult one to apprehend. If we
get ourselves to master it, the task is
soon abandoned, and we are looking
far away for some other and greater
work to do. The most succ essful and
useful midister is the man whose Ia
bors are confined strictly to the cult
vation of the one vineyard committed
to his care. The minister's best help
er is that member of his Church who
fidds duty nearest at hand and can al
ways be relied upon to sustain the
home Church in its regular constituted
work.
The last lesson which high and
stormy natures learn is the value Of
gentleness.
