In the beginning of the present
century there was an awakening IN
western Pennsylvania. At the be-
ginning of that wonderful work of
grace the Rev. Elisha McCurdy
and Philip Jackson, "the praying
elder" often retired to the woods,
and there wrestled with God tor
the outpouring of his Spirit. A
little band Of five pious women,
one of whom was the wife of Nc
Curdy, formed themselves into a
prayer meeting, to plead with God
for the revival of his work. On
one occasion, when prayer meet
ing was to be held in a private
house, Mr.. McCurdy, while the
people were gathering, was walk
ing outside collecting his thoughts
for the meeting and heard cries OF
distress proceeding from a plot OF
woodland near by. Taking with
him an elder, he found two young
women PROSTATE on the ground,
pleading earnestly with God for
mercy. He relates that "their cries
for mercy were very affecting. -
Many incidents of similar nature
might be given, which occurred at
that time.

Mrs. DR.. Maxwell died last week
in Greenwood. She and her hus-
band had given a mortuary deed to
all their property to the Connie
Maxwell Orphauage, on condition
that it take the name of their only
child who had died. The death Of
Mrs. Maxwell brings the orphan
age into possession of this splendid
property. 1t is estimated to be
somewhere in the neighborhood Of
$780, 900.
It is, much of it, in real estate N
Greenwood and around the Or
phanage This makes the Connie
Maxwell one of the largest institu-
tions in the South of its kind, and
will ensure that large number of
orphans will be trained there for
life's duties and for the Masters
service.
Certainly this is one of the best
monuments that we can rear. Men
may seldom see or think of the
cold marble that marks the graves
of either of these noble people or
their child, but generations to
come will see and admire the
mighty work that is going on from
year to year by means of the Or
phanage. Men and women who
pass through the institution will
90 forth to do work that is made
possible by this deed. Great
thought that we can leave our
money where it will tell on every
generation till time shall end, and
to tell for God and humanity Let
others do likewise.
1t should be said. too, that they
gave freely during their life time,
and did not wait till depth TO let
their money begin its mission Of
love.

Obituary.

John Wilson Long was born July 21st,
1924, aud died April 18th, 1902, age II
years, S months and "a days. He joined
the Evangelical Lutheran church in
early boyhood, and was faithful aud
consistent member. He gave his heart
early to the Lord, and lived a conse-
Grated Christian life. He served the
church in various ways, being an elder
ir Macedonia church at the time of his
death, and a Sunday-school superin-
tendent for many years. He had the
confidence of the church and the COM
munity. No one ever doubted bis re-
ligion; his life was a power for God IN
his community; not only did he labor
to build up the material interest of the
church and community at large. but be
sought to save the souls of others and
bring them in living touch with the
Lord who YVES all in all with him. His
heart and hand were always ready to
help the distressed, poor and needy.
He was in the civil war, but through
the mercies of God he returned home
to his family; he made a good and
faithful soldier; he was twice married;
first to Lavenia E.. Koon in 1916; six
children blessed this union, five OF
whom preceded him to the spirit world.
In 1884 he was married to Mrs Harriet
Balentine nee Swygert, who survives
him, with one daughter by the first
wife, four grandchildren, five great
grandchildren and other near relatives
aud Il host of friends to mourn bis death.
May the Lord graciously comfort and
sustein the bereaved wife and daughter
aud the other kindred TO whom be was
so loving and faithful May the loved
opes meet him over yonder where there
will be no more parting and no more
death. His last words were, Il am
going home" A Friend.

brother, Mr.. ]. Wilson Long. He
quietly passed away last Tuesday
morning about 4 o'clock, in the midst
of a host of relatives and friends.
His health has beer declining for
some time and the end was not un-
expected. Mr., Long had nearly
reached his four score years and
was ready and waiting for the sum
mons Come up higher" He served
his state we'll in the dark days of the
Civil War and after the war was
over he came back home and made
one of the best citizens our country
has ever produced. He served
Macedonia church as an elder for a
long period of years. He also was
superintendent of the Sunday school
for a number of years. In his
death the church has lost one of its
best members, and the community
one of its best citizens. May we
live so that when death shall take
us from this world of trouble and
care, We may be ready to meet him in
glory, there to be with him forever
in that blissful home.
His earthly pilgrimage is over;
He has gone to his blissful home,
Where he stands waiting and watching
Bidding US all to come.
He is now happy and blessed;
His rough warfare is DER:
With Christ he will be forever,
o. that happy and blissful shore.

A Fruitful Work.

says a correspondent Of The lnte-
rior, was gathered in this wise ::

his infant child. but he was not
baptized" "No, father" Then
he cannot he buried in holy ground.
He is not of the true church. Z"
The father returned sadder than
before, when a happy memory came
to him. He said: "On2e l heard
a man preaching, Gods thoughts
are not as your thoughts. l wish

he was right. If they have priests
of that faith will find one, and he
shall bury my child and teach us
the truth about God, and my little
one, and all else.' He was direct

The Reason was Evident.

The Youths Companion tells of
a young man who failed to pass
an examination for a government
position. He had influence, in the
way of a senator, who took nim
to Secretary Long to see if any
thing could be done to rerate his
grades and get him in. "It's no
use,' said Secretary Long; "that
young man has failed three times.

"GOD BLESS THEM ALL"
A Negroes Tribute to General Wade

The subjoinel verses, are written
by a negro, an ex slave, one of the
of the Augusta postofice
and they constitute an appreciatlVe
tribute from his race to the last
words and the memory of General
Hampton:
A Southern hero lay dying,
Not from the battle cast,
But mid the sternest conflict
Stern victory brings at last.
Tread softly near yon couch,
Shrouded by deaths pail,
Hear the victor's shout:
"God bless my people all!'
"God bless my people all,
The black man and the white'-
God bless them in the effort,
As they struggle for the right;
God bless the rising manhood,
With life of honest toll,
God bless the blooming maiden,
God bless my native soil.
Oh. worda so ftly spoken
From lips now chilled in death!
Barring a blessing of heaven
With their last expiring breath.
Israel's father in blessing
Divided his family small,
But thou in blessing thy people
Thou blesseth one and all!
Rest there now, soldier and states
man,
Patriot, Christian and friend,
May the blessing inspire the valiant
The poor and weak defend.
And when we, too, be summoned
To answer Deaths silent call
May the echo be from the Jordan,
God bless my people ALL"

Treatment Of Colds.

This is a subject of perennial IN
terest and one about which much has
been written, but with results dis
proportionately small, considering
the consumption of ink. The
truth is that cold is due to an
almost infinite variety of causes,
some local, some general, some
readily avoidable, some practically
inevitable, and no one method will
prove effective in all cases.
Very few are the fortunate in
dividuals who never have colds,
and most of those living in our
Northern climate must be resigned
to having one or two in the course
of the winter;' but one who takes
cold readily and often is not in a
healthy condition, and should seek
medical advice. The cause in such
case may be local, consisting IN
some malformation in the interior
of the nose, which keeps the mu-
cous membrane in an irritable
state. This fault in anatomical
construction can easily be remedled
by an operation which is seldom
severe. But before resorting to
this the general system should be
questioned, in order to determine
whether or not the fault lies with
that. Often this is the case even
| when a nasal deformity also exists.
One of the chief predisposing
causes of a cold is disordered dl-
gestion, especially intestinal d.
gestion. as a result Of overeatlng
or the use of alcohol. 1t has been
said that an underfed man cannot
catch cold, while an overfed one
can scarcely avoid it. Whether
this is strictly true or not, there Is
some close relation between the dl
gestive organs and the nose; and
inaction of the bowles is fire.
quent forerunner of cold.
The adage that one ''must stuff
a cold and starve fever" is per-
nicious-a cold is fever, and one
of the surest means of cutting ii
short is to take laxative, abstain
almost entirely from food for
| twenty-four hours, and drink two
or three quarts of cool water.
Another "popular remedy, .
which is really an aggravator, is a
"hot toddy" at bedtime. A hot
drink-hot lemonade, for exam"
ple-is good, and the subsequent
sweat is good, if the sleeper does
| not throw off the bedclothes the
minute he drops off; but the
alcoholic addition is not merely su'
perfuous, but injurious. Alcoho!
in any form predisposes to a cold:
and retards the cure of one already
present.
Cool bathing, deep breathing.
