we add TO our suffering by giving heed
to the suggestions of Satan, Dr. allow
ourselves to lose confidence in our fell

for US to harbor such a thought is to

down to a lonely part of the coast to
gather a certain seaWeed from the

is sold as Irish moss for culinary pur-
poses. The boyslived in q little hut ON
the beach; they were out before dawn

had to be wet with salt water many
times, and spread out in the sun until
it was thoroughly whitened. They
had n hour each day free from work.
One of them spent it lying ON the sand
asleep. The other had brought out
his books and studied for that hour.

THE JEWISH SOUTH.

The next day the delegates OF distinguished prom

and John Wills rage became intense. Sesom met
him on the street soon after, and said:
II am surprised, John that you should try to
stab me through my religion"
Wills denied that he had made the remark attrib-

have stabbed Abraham Sesom to death

alone. 1t is because want to show the people that
such sentiments yours cannot hurt that will

And Abraham Sesom elected as mayor Of

His last term served, and he was ready
once more to turn the big leather chair to his

with a testimonial extoing his virtues, and among
other things it stated that his Jewish principles had

Jew whose goodness benevolence and virtues had
ever come prominently before the notice of the
citizens of Townville.
This last sentence stung him to the quick. The
only Jew! He could never get them to believe that
his whole race was better than they thought That
sentence would always remind him of his separation
from them. He was Jew, and they were Chris
tians. His wife right; he would never live to
see the change he desired. Human nature cannot be
