A Great Life.

Do not try to do some grea, thing
or you may waste all your life waiting
tor the opportunity which may never
come. But since little things are al
ways claiming your attention, do them
as they come, from great motive. for
the glory of God, to win his smile of
approval, and to do good to men. 1t
is harder to plod on in obscurlty act
ing thus than to stand in the high
places Of the field, within the view of
all, and do deeds of valor at which
rival armies stand still to gaze. But
no such act goes without the swift rec
ognition and the ultimate recompense
Of Christ. To fulfill the duties Of your
station; to use to the ut,ermost the gifts
of your ministry; to bear the Chaiing
annoyances and trivial irritations as
martyrs bore the pillory and stake; to
find the one noble ,rait in people who
try to molest you; to put the kindest
construction on unklnd acts and
words; to love with love of God even
the unthankful and evil; to be content
TO be fountain in the midst OF a wild
valley of stones, nonrishlng a few
lichens and wild flowers, or now and
again thirsty sheep. and to do this
always, and not for the praise of man,
but for the sake of G,ri-,h,s makes a
great liie.-F. B. Meyer.
TODAY the South Is attracting
more attention throughout the country
than ever before along the line Of man
ufacturlng environments and North
Carolina is coming in tor big shafe
of it, Capitalists, who few years ago
hesitated about investing in Southern
business enterprises, are to- day enthu-
siastic in the matter for they have be-
come convinced Of the facts in the case
by actual experience. Northern cot
ton manufacturers cannot much longer
compete with our manufacturers in the
same line, which will necessitate the
erection of more factories and larger
ones than we now have in order to
supply the heavy demands which will
then necessarily be made upon them
for the products of their plants. There
is surely brigh, future in store for us.
