New York, August 10.-Eleven persons died here today from the excessive heat. The greatest suffering is endured by the thickly populated East Side. In these neighborhoods numerous families occu y a single apartment and many of them sleep on the pavements to get a little fresh air.

FOR ALABAMA-GENERAL FAIR SATURDAY AND SUNDAY; LIGHT TO FRESH SOUTHERLY WINDS.
The Farmville herald. [volume] (Farmville, Va.) 1890-1934, 1900-06-29
GIVE PEACEN OUR TIME, 0, LORDv

We have often heard this prayer
which will be recognized as part OF
the Episcopal service, but were never
so impressed with its propriety as on
last Sunday afternoon when il was our
privilege to worship with the Episco-
palians of Farmville, and while we
heard it in that church the thought
impressed itself upon us that perhaps
at that hour the same prayer was be.
ing uttered in other churches the world
over, and that during the day it had
belted the globe.
And is not the God to whom this
prayer was directed prayer hearing
and prayer-answering God ?" And
Is lie not omnipotent? Can any stay
His hand and say, what doest thou ?
And did not the angels herald the
birth OF the Christ with a song of peace
and good will? Yea, verify; and vet
just now war is the rule and peace the
exception.
There is unrest in our cities. our
Government, Christian in name at
least, Is waging war upon people who
had done us no harm ; England, land
OF Bibles and churches, is fighting for
more territory and against the protest
OF those to whom it rightfully belongs.
and now the guns of all the civilized
powers are turned on China. By our
laws they cannot come to us, but we
are forcing ourselves at the canon's
mouth upon them. And yet devout
chrstendom over did ON
last Sunday pray, "Give peace in our
time, o, Lord" and all christendom
'aid Amen" Why not peace then
has the pulpit any satisfactory answ, 7?
The pulpit? No ! The Bible =? Yes.
"God moves in mysterious way"
md will one day make it plain. Christ
n agony cried out, "If it be possible
ct this cup pass from me.n "Au
hlngs are possible with God" and vet
His only Son drank that cup to its bit
er dregs.
When finite man understands that
We may expect him to tell us why the
eace-prayer is not answered.
THY will not mine," said the Christ
nd that's our duty now.

be ha' ing those statements prepared as
fast as possible. but nobody seems to
know, or care to say, when they will be
ready. Senator Plat, Of Conn, Chair
man OF the Committee, when asked
when the Committee would begin the
investigation said il could not begin
until furnished with those statements
which are to be made the basis of the
investigation. That leaving the admin
stration free to hasten or postpone the
beginning of the investigation, by
hurrying or delaying the preparation
Of those statements.
This government seems to be getting
tangled up in that big Chinese puzzle.
Secretary Hay says we are not at war
with China, and all the diplomatic
representatives Of the European nations
say the same for their governments.
ana the Chinese minister says his gov
eminent has not sanctioned any i'll |
treatment Of foreigners or any of the |
lighting that has taken place; that the
whole trouble is due to riotlng, such as
occurs in every country.
The Chinese Minister has also assured
secretary Hay that he has received Of
neal information that all the foreign
in Pekin, which has been
cut off from the coast cities for more
than week, were safe and well. Not
outstanding all this, the administra-
ton and the European governments are
as though we and they
were at war with China, and troops are
being hurriedly forwarded to form an
allied army for the invasion of China.
and the allied now on the ground are
Ilghtlng the Chinese. If all that isn't
The worst sort of Chinese puzzle, pray
what is it?

Senator Harris, Of Kansas, said of

Washington, for his home: "The people
are not to be deluded into the idea that
the existing prosperity is the product

rigid economy and self-denial In

now, are advancing the price of wheat,
which will greatly benefit the farmers
OF Kansas and the West, but these
favorable conditions were not
brought around by Republican adj
ministratiOn. The people understand
the reasons for these things. Further
than this, the people recognize the late
session of Congress, gave the trusts of
all kinds, all that they asked for They
also recognized that Congress absolutely
refused to do for the country those
things which were demanded ire

THE FIRST BABY.
It's Coming Is Looked Forward to
With Both Joy and Fear and It's
Safe Arrival is Hailed With
Pride and Delight by All.

The arrival Of the first baby IN the
household is the happiest and most i'm
portant event Of married life. The young
wife who is to become mother delights
to think OF the happiness In store for her
when the little one shall nestle upon her
breast and latterly she shall hear it lisp
the sweet and holy name, mother. %
But her happy anticipation quickly van
ishes when she realizes the terrible pain
and suffering through which she must
pass while bringing the little one into
the world. An indescribable fear of the
danger attendant upon the ordeal soon
dissipates her toyfulness.
Thousands OF women have learned
by experience that there is absolutely
no necessity for the sufferings which at
tend childbirth; they know that by
the use OF Mothers Friend"-a scien-
tho liniment-for few weeks before
the trying hour, eIpectant mothers can
20 prepare themselves for the final
hour that the pain and suffering OF the
dreaded event are entirely obviated and
II 10 safely passed through with COM
paratively little discomfort.
All women are interested, and e.
pecially expectant mothers who for the
hrst time have to undergo this trial, in
such remedy; for they know the pain
and suffering, to say nothing of the dam
ger, which is in store for them. Moth
er's Friend is woman's greatest bles-
sing, for 1t takes her safely through the
severest ordeal Of her life. Every woman
should be glad to read the little book
Before Baby Is Born" which contains
information Of great value to all. It
will be sent free to any one who sends
their address to The Bradfeld Regu- |
ator Co., Atlanta, Ga.
