Stokes is eiEhty-two years old. but is

Mr. John c. Burchdeld. Of the General
Land Office, had a lot Of experience in
the war between the States, and was on
hand while several stirring things were
developing. He was one OF the East
Tennessee soldiers. and was for the
greater part OF the war in the cavalry.
He was one OF the men who pursued the
fleeing officials OF the CoEfederscy.
Mr.. Burchfeld was one Of the eight
men who arrested Gen. Robert Toombs,

Invitation to Hobab.

Religion and love are two things that
must be shared Moses wanted Hobab,
who was visiting him from the land Of
indian, and who was probably his
brother-in-Iaw, to accompany the Is
racIites to Canaan. There is something
very instructive as well as beautiful and
touching in this invitation of Moses. 10
Hobab The invitation embodies the
missionary spirit of Christianity IN it.
The appeal was philanthropic but at the
same time practical It included good
for both parties This principle IS true
in all Christian work. The appeal had
several propositions to It: l. God has
promised good to Us. 2 Come with Us
and he viii do good to you, also. 3. We
viii be good 20 you, too. l. You can do
Us good also-we need you TO help US
There IS q chain of goodness. The call
Of the church to the world Is for saliva
ton and for service. The business man
can help the church by his business
sagacity, energy and methods. the
scholar Ey his learning, the lawyer by
his knowledge and eioquence. the car
penter by his skill, the teacher by his
wisdom-all can contribute something.
Il ought to be an induCement TO all
noble minds to share in the Iabcrs OF
the church because they can use their
talents there n the service OF God
This latter fact seemed TO persuade
Hobab 10 cast his lot with the Israelites,
