A LOVING SHEPHERD.

There were times when the serenity
Of the sheepfold seemed to be disturb
ed by the entrance of some wild ami
NAL, but there was ever at hand the
loving shepherd, rising head and shout
ders above them to restore peace.
This il nothing unusual, for all shep-
herds have occasions to look over their
flock, and call into line not only the
sheep, but the lambs.
These casual ripples of displeasure
serve TO link the sheep and the shep-
herd closer together, for il there be
one thing upon this earth that man
kind love and admire better than an
other, it is a brave man.-it is a man
who dares look the devil in the face
and tell him he is devil.
THE GLORY HE DESERVES.
Being OF his sheepfold, am, indeed
too near him to award him the glory
he deserves, and yet would not pluck
one laurel from the statues of the no
BILE head, would rather place in their
minds another statute that shall. adorn
and honor their glorified company.
The following will prove to you, that
il he has not the talent to do hard
work, he has the best substitute for iE.
AN HUNDRED Sun
At the present time he holds the fol-
| lowing offices:
President of the Y. M @. A., Presi-
dent of the Boys Savings Bank, Secre-
tary of the Virginia Seminary Board
Secretary of the Boys College Board

Association. Secretary of the Foreign
Mission Board, n. V. u. A, Secretary

A., Member of the Virginia Reforma.
tory Board of Directors, Member Of

Schools.
There are other concerns which he
is affiliated, but space does not admit
a mentioning thereof. There are many
noble heroes who inumines the dark
ness behind us with the radiance o
some single virtue, but among then
we see no Bowling, he is radiant will
all the great virtues.
A FLowERY CONCLUSION.
1t is not too much to say that ava,
down in the future, when other grea
men have fallen from their places il
the wall of time, when the great wa
itself shall have faded out in the dis
lance like q mist on the horizon. whel
the stranger only shall handle hi
name; then the generations LOOKING
this way, shall see the great race ex
emplar numbered among the galax
of the greatly good.
when your sun is setting, may yol
glide,
Like summer evening, down tn
golden tide
And leave behind you, as you pas
away,
Sweet, starry twilight round you
sleeping clay"

A SKETCH OF HIS OAREER-AN

give you short sketch OF one who
lives, aud whose life, morally, socially
and intellectually, stands out in the
bold relief, wherever he moves. like
the peaks upon the mighty Alpine.

dience will look in vain for another t.

crowded Wednesday, to hear read
the eagerly expected message of
President Mckinley, which was
expected to be the casting die
to decide, for peace Or Iwar,
between Spain and these United
States.
Whethes correct or not, it's tone
and spirit-so avowed by Report,
had already reached the public's
ear, and these were said to be
firm, manly and dignified: put in
such a manner as to put stop to
further cruelties with the Cubans,
or else engage this government;
and also make proper reparation
for the destruction of the Maine;
or take the same seious consequent
ces.
1t was said, however, that the
message would not recommend
immediate recognition of Cuban
independence; but her belliger-
ency. The President seemed to
think it would not be advisable to
have Cuba free and independ-
government, until such time as
she could appreciate the RESPONSE
bility of so great a condition.
If these be true, it seems to us
that the South should heartily con-
cur in the opinion. Surely those
who PASSED chrough and suffered
under the RECONSTRUCTION dynasty,
ought still to be able to recall and
shudder over the recollection Of
it's horrors.
But those who expected to hear
this message were doomed to Bit
,er disappointment. No message
was sent. But this was no cheap
political trick Of the President.
He had grave and weighty reas-
ons for not doing so. Reasons
which the patriots of America will
sanction and indorse.
It was Lee who caused the mes g.
age to be with held. The brave,
chivalrous, self sacrificing Lee.
He cabled the State Department
to have the message withheld I'M
til he could get all American citi-
zens away from Cuba. He said
their lives would not be safe after
the message had been laid before
Congress and there were not
enough vessels at Havana, for the
purpose.
Of course President Mckinley
did as requested. His obligation
to General Lee, and his duty to
protect American citizens demaneN
it. And besides, this delay may
proven: war, tits understood that
Sagasta has receded from his for
mer position, and the Queen Re
gent has agreed to an armastice,
if the Cubans will consent.
