meeting he attended in Gordon county,
Ga, recently. He said the pastor was
enthusiastic in his efforts at revival
and made the proposition to those pres
ent, "All who want to go to heaven are
invited to come forward and give me
their hands" A song was sung and no
one responded. He gave out another
hymn and extended the same invita-
ton, "All who want to go to heaven
please signify it by coming forward and
give me your hand" Again no ore
moved from their seats to accept the
invitation. AS the song was being sung,
he said, This is the last call" hat no
one responded. He then cast his eyes
over the congregation and earnestly
exclaimed: you can just sit there
then and go to h--l." 1t sounded
different from what he intended, and
there was visible smile on the faces
OF those present.

The strength of man is in proportion
to the feelings which he curbs and SUBJ
dues, and. mot those which subdue him.
The man who receives a fragrant insult,
and answers quietly the man who bears
a hopeless daily trial, and remains
silent; the man who with strong pas
sions remains chaste, or who with quick
sense of injustice can refrain himself
and remain calm-these are strong
men.
Rev. DR.. Bachman, who is conducting
a series OF religious services, at night
this week, at the Presby terrain
church, is consecrated minister
that has the power of God to prevail
with men. He is fine logician and
reasoner and his sermons are always
strongly fortified and carry conviction.
We trust that great good will be accom-
plished during this meeting.

The rainbow is type of Joy chas-
tened by affection, A child of the sun
and cloud, it smiles at us through
tears. 1t laughs while it weeps. Such
is human life. The deepest, calmest,
sweetest joy is that which has had its
little touch of sacrifice, its little favor
of self remuneration. its drops of resig-
nation, its commingling of the bitter
with the sweet.
Thursday afternoon football game
took place between the boys of the Ma
rietta Institute ard public school at
Coles pasture. 1t was rough and
tumble, spirited and hotly contested
game, resulting in 4 to 6 in favor of the

There are schemes and schemes, but
new scheme that struck Marietta
with new way of getting at people
succeeds like success. There are peo-
pie when they think they are getting
anything at cost, never fail to invest
The fighting in the Philippines still
goes on. The news comes that full
company Of Georgians, Captain Shields
and fifty-one men, company OF the
10Th infantry, is wiped out, captured OF
killed.
An act by which we make one friend
and one enemy is losing game because
revenge is much stronger principle
than gratitude.
