Thirty years ago their number, as

sionaries have constructed written
languages for many peoples and
tribes, with the single object of
translating the Bible for their in
struction in the way of salvation,
and they have perform ID their pious
task at the expense of enormous
labor always, oftenlimes at great
sacrifice, and sometimes of cruel
martyrdom. The whole missionary
zeal of Professionalism has been in
spired by absolute faith in the Bible
as the inspiring and merring Word
of God.
Now, what will happen if the view
of the Bible held and propagated by
the Briggs school becomes prevalent

Tho First Ocean Steamer.

On May 20, eighty years ago, the
first steamship to cross the ocean
left Savannah, Ga. The steamship
was great venture at that early
day, but the undertaking is but one
of the many instances of the pro-
gressivo spirit which the South has
always manifested, in spite of draw
backs. The vessel was curious
combination. This is indicated by
the conventional picture of it, show
ing the smoke from it's stack blowing
in the same direction as the bulging
Of its sails. The steamboat, named
the "Savannah," was built at the cx-
pcnse of Savannah merchants in the
New York shipyard, and sailed in
March for Savannah, making the
trip in six days. Sailing from Sa-
vannah she crossed the Atlantic in
twenty-five days, eighteen of which
she was under steam and the rest
under sail only. AS coal was not in
general use, except for heating pur-
poses, pine wood was burned in the
furnace When the vessel ncarcd
Cork its unusual appearance, due to
the smoke rising from the stack, at
tracted the attention of the COM
mandrr of British war fleet anch-
ored off that port. He promptly
sent Two cutters to the relief of what
he believed was a vessel on fire.
Similar wonder was excited at Liv-
erpool, at Copenhagen, Stockholm
and st. Petersburg, to which ports
the vessel sailed. She was greeted
at all her stopping places by multi
tudes of people, and the European
papers were full of accounts of the
ncw-fanglcd craft from the other
side of the ocean. This was but the
beginning of many ncw-fangled
American things which have been
brought to the attention of the
European brethren during the past
half a century. Its steam power
was but auxiliary to its sails. Quick

Speaking of babies" said a we'll
known citizen to me the other day,
"reminds me of little experience I
had with ono while away from home
some time ago. was away up in
the mountains of Floyd county with
companion looking after some
landed interests and was sitting in
tho buggy alone, while my compan-
ion had gone some distance across a
field to see man with whom we
had business. While thus employed
there passed by mo barefootcd wo-
man dressed plainly but neatly, car
rying in ono hand a tin bucket which
l judged contained her husbands
dinner, for he was at work only a
short distance away. Under her
other arm she carried a, baby, and
she had only passed me a short dis
tance whom she put the baby down
and walked on with the evident ex-
pcctation of it following her. But
the baby was in no hurry, and max
ing some advances towards it found
him to be very susceptible, and we
were soon on tho best of terms.
The mother and father, some dis
tance away, seemed to enjoy the
situation, and made no effort to de-
stroy the love-feast which baby and

luctance, absolutely refusing to leave

about tnat baby q hundred times
since | came home, and can truly
say that tho time spent with him was
the most pleasant part of my trip.
As | said in advance, ths baby's mo-
thcr was barefooted, but she was as
neat as a new pin, and a woman of
very charming presence. Had she
been arrayed in the garb Of some of
her city cousins am sure she would
have boon called pretty, but from the
modcsty of her bearing I am sure
she had never thought or longcd for
much of the tincries of the great
world beyond her small horizon. She
was sweet in her primitive sim
plicity and freshness and I shall not
soon forget her and her clean, sweet
baby."---Albany (Ga.) llrrrld.
