nation by the members of the Pastcur

with an unmistnkable case Of rabies,

sary to send them to Baltimore. About
two hundred dollars was raised, and
Mr.. Daniels was enabled to leave on

alone and more money will be needed.
Though not at all rich one, our little
community has never failed to respond
nobly to such an appeal, and we do not
doubt that its sympathy and .help will
be extended freely. Surely this is q
case for the practice Of home missions.
The people OF Abbevillc have been
very kind, ut least such of them as
knew OF the case, and DR.. Harrison
and Mr.. II. E. Cox have been especial
ly active in enlisting the sympathy of
the citizens and securing transporta-
ti0n from the Railroads. These were
so kind as to grant free passes to Bal
timOre and return when the unusual
circumstances were made known to
them. Twenty three days is the time
that it is said is required to complete
tho treatment, and we are anxiOusly
awaiting the result.

ovation when he arrived at s.this, his
time home. on Saturday after

warm friends here. and dozens clamor-

congregation for about an hour, while
he spoke warmly and with the elo-
qucnce that comes from an enthusias-
tic personal interest in his theme, Of
ideals and the duty of keeping them
always high and pure. In the evening
he spoke again especially to young
men, and strengthened the pleasant
