The Serenity Of Jesus.

It is truly renal kable character
istic of his life, that absence of all
restlessness and feverishness and
merely emotional enthusiasm. SO
pronounced was that spirit, that we
doubt, if he we're living today many
8 Christisn worker would find him a
yery slow and somewhat uncongenia!
colaborer, and would find fault with
him many times as to bis way and
methods, just as his disciples did OF
DID, But it was that very spirit,
that absence Of all unrest, that made
possible the fxity of aim and pur-
pose that nothing could turn aside.
Jesus Christ was the model enthus-
last, for neither fear nor favor, sue
cess nor failure, ever moved him
from the one work that he had come
to do. Fixed firm in his heart was
the eternal purpose Ct saving mer:
that purpose was born of an Infinite
love for men, and that love be had
because he was zone with the
Father"

Beaufort, S G, December 2l-A1
octopus, or Devil fish, was captured
in the river in front of this place yes
terday afternoon. The creature was
two feet long and was. judging from
its small dimensions, an infant of its
species. It possessed possibly 25
tendiils or arms, the under surface of
which contained numerous cells
about the size of and closely resembl-
ing a woman's thimble. The tenacity
with which the creature clung to the
sides and bottom of its prison was
astonishing. The creature was pur-
chased by a fruit dealer who made q
square meal off Of it.
