face, Hands ard Arms Covered With
ScrofuIo0s Humors : How Cure
Was Effected.
Hwhcn Eve years old my little boy had
pcrofuIa on his face, hands and arms It
was worst on his chin, although the sores
on his cheeks and hands wero very bad.
II appeared in the form Of red pfmples
which would tester, break open and run
and then scab over. After disappearing
they would break out again. They caused
intense itching and the little sufferer had
TO be watched continually to keep him
from scratching the sores. We became
greatly alarmed at his condition. My
wife's mother had had scrofula and the
only medicine which had belpd her was
Hoods sarsapariIla. We decided to give
It to our boy and we noted an improve
ment in his case very soon. After giving
him four bottles of Hoods sarsaparilla
the humor had all been driven out OF his
blood and it has never since returned"

Spirit is described in the New Tes-
lament as "love, joy, peace, long suf-
fering, ge~ntleness, goodness, faith,
meekness, temperance" Not only is
this contrast o striking, but it is
imperative. eff We believe in the
Spirit, let us walk in the Spirit" So
it is right and scriptur IL to pray to
God that We may alwa rs live in the
Spirit" and walk in the Spirit" But
the ~outbreaking sinner, the scorner of
God and the enemy Of all Righteousness
and true holiness will not pray in the
Spirit because he knows not Of the
Spirit, and therefore he lives in sin
and delights to sin with a high hand
and outstretched arm in defiance of
God. The man blessed by the Psalm
list is Ole who tries to walk with God
in all lowIiness of heart and simplicity
Of faith, avoiding all sinful courses,
all appearance of evil" all u~nholiress,
and bad habits including scorning God
and HIS people, but seeking their asso-
iation and companionship. There is
nothing more contemplate and sa-
tanic than to scott at religion and to
throw objurgation upon Gods faithful
and devOut servants. The blessed"
man not only shuns evil ways and
evil people who give evil advice
while scOrning the people Of God, but
he follows diligently and earnestly
after righteousness, seeking the high
er fife daily, faithful all the year round
devOut and prayerful and consecrated
from January to January, and ever de-
lighting in Gods blessed Word-the
Eternal Truth of God. He is never so
happy and satisfied as when believing
in his heart all of Gods command
ments, constantly observing to obey
them, and fulfilling in life the law of
divine, Girdlestone says: THE bless
edness Of such a is q growth in no.
illness and happiness and meetness for
| Heaven, vigorous and healthful, like
| the flourishing of a tree planted by the
watcrside. And like unto the album
dance of its fruit, and the unfading
beauty of it's foliage, is his prosperity
in all he undertakes, being all under
| taken according to Gods will. Not
such is the case with the u~ngodly."
blessed is the man" who born of the
Spirit of God. strives to do good, hon
or God in all things, and to walk
humbly and Iowly and ~believingly be-
fore Him. Heaven will be his final
home with the redeemed of God.

Recently a daughter-really gifted

Gray, of Greensboro, passed away, in
her 29th year. She was the wife OF
Nj. George A. Heck, and was a mem

ton in memory of this intellectual and
believing Christian woman by Rev.
DIR. Smith, of Greensboro. OF her he
wrote under the impulse Of friendship
and admiration: Such exquisite
beauty Of person, such winning charm
of manner, such native refinement of
feeling, such strength and grace Of
mind and character, are rarely found
united. Hers was, indeed,
"a counterance in which did meet
Sweet records, promises as sweet
What has particularly impressed us
arc some lines written by her in her
declining health that reveal so much
of resignation and humility and trust
in the goodness of God, as well, as DR..
Smith say poetic gift in no small
measure" We may be wrong, but the
lines have deeply touched us in their
simplicity and beauty, and they seem
to us to be really truer poetry than
any we ever saw from a North Car
olina woman before. We copy them:

These are old lines and true. They
are familiar and are from Alexander
Pope's Essay on Man" These lines
embody more truth than is peculiar to
Pope's philosophy or moralizing. We
have copied them to show where the
original was found by the English
man. Turn to the Book of Psalms
and read the first verse of the first
Psalm as follows:
blessed is the man that walketh
not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor
standeth in the way of sinners, nor
stitch in the seat of the scornful."
Pope had three gradatiOns or steps
enduring, mex plying, then embrac-
ing. The inspired Psalmist has three
ste7s in the way Of sin and fOlly-frst
walking in the counsels of the ungod-
iy, next SO familarized as to stop in
the midst Of vice, and thirdly SO I'M
concerned and satisfied as to sit down
in the very haunts of immortality and
rebellion, occupying seats in the COM
pany of the scornful. The first Psalm
starts with a blessing and yet it con-
tains a warning. The Sayiour's mar
yellous sermon On the Mount opens
with beatitudes or blessings that
should be familiar to all. The singer
in Israel begins the first hymn-for
such is the Psalm-with a beatitude-
blessed is the man" We shall not
take up six verses Of this Psalm in
order for discussion. We wish only
TO emphasize what is said in the verse
copied above. The man is blessed
who obeys God and avoids evil. We
have the peace and joy and hope OF
good and the contrast-the bad end OF
the evil. There is a most marked diff
ference and contrast between a truly
good, God-fearin 6 and God-honorlng
man. and a man who is vicious and
mean, VINO deSplSeS Gou anu JAMES
pleasure in evil courses. The man
blessed of Heaven is not the man who
delights in sin and walks in the ways
of iniquity, but the man who delights
in tina which is good and pure and of
good report. There is a wonderful
difference between the fruits of the
devil and the fruits of the Spirit. God
says ''all unrighteousness is sim" and
that a sinner loves sin and "deviseth
mischief on his bed"-that his mind
and conscience is defiled" and "out of
the heart of man, proceed evil
thoughts. adulteries, murders, thefts
G~ovetness, ~wickedness, etc." In con-
xrast the Holy Spirit produces all
Christian graces, and the fruit Of the
