Not a thing vas left in the rooms

SYSTEMATIC BIBLE STUDY.
Miss Blodget Will Open Glass For Study on
Tuesday of This Week

Never was there more earnest desire
TO know the Bible than now. In the
eyes of the student world it is, besides
the highest moral guide, the chief his
tory of ancient times. The spade # the
explorer has unearthed hundreds of
fragments, but this stands alone as the
one continuous record of people for
four thousand years, the earliest manu-
scripts of which were written some
thirty five hundred years ago.
Yet still to the vast ma jority of Chris
tians, systematic study of this wonder
full book outside of the brief hour of
Sunday School is thing unknown. They
read it and love it but have little idea
of it as an historic whole.
To supply just such need as this-to
make the Bible real, vital history--is
the work of the systematic course OF
Bible study to be conducted in this city
during the month of April by Miss Nay
N. Blodgett, the first meeting of which
will be held in the Presbyterian church
Tuesday, April 1st at 4:3O o'clock.
Trained with especial reference to such
work Miss Blodgett has been success
full instructor in the Moody Bible School,
OuICdSOi III inc IoIuuSut ISIDit COuICl
ence, in Asheville, and in other noted
gatherings for Bible study. At the re-
quest of the general committee for
Young Woman's Christian Associations
for North and South Carolina she has
given the past winter to conducting
Bible classes in a number of cities and
towns of the South. having been in At
lanta, Admission, Gastonia. Salisbury
and Farmville, Va. In all these places
the classes have had large and enthusi-
astic attendance ranging from hun
dred and fifty to between two and three
hundred.
From the interest expressed here a
very large attendance is expected and
every woman and girl is most cordially
invited. AS the lectures will be given
in regular course four afternoons of
each week it is hoped that all members
of the class will be regular in attend
ance, making it a special point to be at
the opening meeting Tuesday afternoon
at 4:SG o'clock.

effective and popular of all catarrh
remedies.
Nearly all cheap cough mixtures and
threat lozenges contain opatcs; these
cheap medicines give a temperorary re-
lief. especially with little children by
destroying nerve sensation; the irritation
in throat, which causes coughing is tenn
porarily removed, not by removing the
cause but by deadening the nerves OF

it is still there and will promptly return.
Stuarts Catarrh Tablets is the best
remedy to remove catarrh secretion,

because they are composed of wholesome
antiseptics Blood root, Red gum from
Eucalyptus tree, etc, when you use
these tablets you know what you are
putting into your system and not taking
! chances with cocaine, Opiates or similar
poisons found in so many catarrh cures
and cough medicines.
Dr. RamSdell in commenting on ca
tarrh cures, says: II can heartily re-
commend Stuart's Catarrh Tablets, be-
cause they contain no cocaine nor other

of many eases of long standing catarrh

entirely harmless but effective remedy.

to be perfectly safe for child or adult

Ships on the Sea.

Proud ships go out on the ocean,
Sail out as things of life
Lay in their poises and motion,
With strength and beauty rife,
From shore and from deck are farewells,
Sad cheers and tears mix free
On faces and hearts deep care tells,
For those in the ships at sea!
VIII they reach the far-off haven,
The ships that have gone to sea?
The question on each heart gran,
Hope. doubt, whatever may be-
Hope. in strong ships and seamen,
Doubt. from wind, rocks and shoals,
Pirates, turks or base freemen,
Or iceburgs from near the Poles
Out now. on the ocean steaming,
No shore their masts may discern
No use conjecture or dreaming
They will or will not return!
Through waves and sea breezes-on-on-"
Sunshine and clouds overhead
But soon it may be storm and cyclone
Thunder and lightning dread.
Many ships leave port-reach haven,
DO all expected to do,
Each man a hero no craven,
In all the dangers passd through.
But many. countless the number,
Launched out, but met sad doom;
Distress shots-wake not from slumber
The shoremen-though land the boom.
No word of the souls upon them
/ Till the sea gives up its dead
Many a true heart and home jem
Thus sink in oceans bed.
We start out from port as ships do,
On voyage DER life's main,
With freights OF infinite value
We go to return not again!

Who knows ev'ry inch of the way.
Lead us to His home in heaven
In His courts ever to stay.

tricked by Lucy, who gives him Mrs.

her and carries on a very feeling CORE

Lydia, after Captain Jack is proposed
by his father. remains faithful to Bev-
erly, not knowing that Captain Jack
and Beverly are one and the same per-
son. This gives rise to numerous
amusing scenes between Sir Anthony,
Captain Jack, Lydia and Mrs. Malaprop
The persistency of Sir Lucius and the
many Misunderstanding that arise
cause Bob to challenge Beverly. who of

never seen a duel before, and as the
