THOSE "FoRMs CELESTIAL.

Seest thou those bright buds on the tree
That bloom from out lnf1nity?
Seest thou the flower and tender fruit
That rises, mystic, from the root
Deep hidden in the womb of earth
Within a seed they had their blrth'
But who had born that seed" I pray?
Great Mother Earth"-the wise may say.
But who bore her, and you, wise men!
Look farther. deeper, think again!
Whence came this planet and the suns
And Life that through Creation runs?
All, yes-within an Ocean vast
OF Life and Love and Beauty, past
current, like mighty wind,
With poems from the Almighty MIND,
Filled with His wisdom, lore and art,
And tenderest Feelings of His Heart!
Whence came the mind of Newton brave
Upon this ocean-like a wave?
The soul of Shakespeare LINCOLN heart?
Great Kepler's eye?-Young Raphaeps art?-
Cnsehsh life of Washington
And the sweet love Of Mays Son?
Whence came the cry of Liberty.
That every conscience should be Tree
To know its Colby Him be blest-
And in His love and wisdom rest?
out of that ocean of All Bliss
We learn the source of Mothers Kiss!'
Tell me. Is that God less fair
Than all His matchless fowerets are?
Is that a mind less wise and high .
Than the best brains who ask Him why
Is Gods great soul less pure and good
Than the best types of motherhood?
Think we His artist fingers fail
Where Michael Angeles prevail?
When mans best poems live and burn
VIII Gods ideals not return?
VIII He destroy His art fair
His works of Beauty loaned us here?
Has lie no heart to feel our woe
When from US back TO Him they go?
Would any Father, half wise,
Blight light ana hope from His child's eyes,
Would He bereave where I'VE would bless
And curse where mother Swould caress?
No! To the spendor of the
All tides of Life and Beauty rum
From Him they came, to HIM they goi
Their ebb and tide is His Hearts flow;
He viii preserve each feature fair
That doeth His natures self declare
More precious, far our souls to Him
Than bubbles breaking on the brim
OF basin-nO were nothing
But Children Of Eternity!
The God Heads Love is in our heart
And alp our Being is His Art.
The grain thou soWest. does il die?
No IT'S refQrr' before your eye;
There is Form terrestrial
Ana one mos,' bright CELESTIAL
The atoms changt-but onward ever

TROPICS ARE AT OUR DOOR.
Americans Are Large Consumers Of
Products of Warmer Chimes.

Americans Are Large Consumers Of
Products of Warmer Chimes.
Americans live better. perhaps. than the
people of any other part of the world.
They are not content with the products
of their own country, but draw largely
upon the tropics for condiments and deli
cacies that add to the pleasures of the
table. The increase in the contributions
of the tropics to the daily life Of man has
been general throughout the countries
where prosperity or an activity in manu-
featuring and commerce is the rule. but
II seems to be especially marked in the
United States, which now imports more
than $1,000.000 worth Of tropical and sub
tropical foodstuffs and raw materials ev-
cry day in the year. The increased reli-
ance upon the tropics Is probably great
er, proportionately. in the United States
than in most other countries, since
much larger share of our sugar is drawn
from the tropics than is the case with
other. and especially the European coun-
tries, which in most cases now produce
their own sugar from beets
The United States have during recent
years consumed nearly one-half of. the
cane sugar of the world which enters in
to international commerce, and more than
one-half Of the coffe of the world, In
the year just ended the importations of
goods usually considered as of TROPICAL or
suhtropical production amounted to 800 =
100000, or considerably more than 81 ,0O0, 900
for every day in the year, including Sun
days and holidays. while thirty years ago
they amounted TO but $143. 900. co., or less
than 100000 per day.

Patrons.

At a meeting of the citizens OF
Chisholm held Friday evening in the
school house on the Lower Wetumpka
Road, w. r. Daniel was unanimously
elected principal of the Chisholm public
school for the ensuing year and Hiss
Clyde Yarbrough his assistant.
Almost every school patron of Chisholm
attended this meeting and unusual in

Two schools were conducted at Chisholm
last year as a result OF friction between
the patrons. The two factions of the
neighborhood met Friday evening with
the intention of securing harmony and a
consolidation of the two schools resulted.
The school patrons hope to obtain bet
ter results from the meeting of the two
schools now that their interests are CEN
&raiized.
The school opens October LIST, and II is
believed the coming year will be the most
prosperous in its history.
The progressive little suburban village
will be greatly improved by the street car
line which in short while will run to

will be much increased for 1t will be only

TENT MEETING CLOSES
PASTOR CRAWFORD SAYS MUCH
GOOD WAS DONE.
Congregation Of First Cumberland
Presbyterian Church VIII Wor-
ship Under Canvas Until
New Edifice is Built.

The protracted tent meetings of the
Cumberland Presbyterian Church, at the
corner of Church and Catoma Streets.
have come to a close
These meetings have been going on for
five weeks and Rev. w. N. Crawford.
pastor, says he is very much gratified
with the result.
when we first began the protracted
tent meetings." said Mr. Crawford, there
were only about twenty-five Cumberland
Presbyterians in Montgomery. Now, af-
ter holding religious services for about
five weeks, we have a membership of
about lbs. Besides this, there were a
large number of confessions of faith
by persons who did not affiliate them
selves with our church. On the whole, I
think we have accomplished a wonderful
work and that the people of Montgomery
are greatly strengthened religiously."
The tent meetings-were FIRST conducted
about ten days by Rev. N. d. Crawford
of Tennessee. father of Rev Mr.. Craw-
ford of Montgomery. He intended re-
naming here as long as the protracted
meetings continued land would have done
SO. had he not been called to the bedside
of his son, who was i'll at his home IN
jackson, Tenn. He did not return TO
Montg omery. The. remainder of the time
the meetings were conducted by Rev.
w. M. CRAWFORD, assisted at various
times by Rev l. D. Steele of Birming-
ham and Rev. Mr.. Swain of Selma.
Although the protracted meetings have
been discontinued. three meetings will be
held in the tent each Sunday until the
new church Is built.
Rev. Mr.. Crawford says the new church
will be a magnificent structure. 1t will
be erected at the corner of Church and
Catoma Streets, where the tent is now,
as soon as the necessary funds are raised.
The money to build this new church Is
being contributed by the different Cum
beriand Presbyterian Churches in Ala
bama- 1t is proposed to raise $4,000 be-
fore the work on the church begins.
The plans for the new church building
have been prepared. but the contract has
not yet been awarded.
The establishing of the Cumberland
Presbyterian Church here adds one more
name to the Montgomery church direc-
tory. Until recently. Montgomery was
the only city of its size In the South
where there IVES net a Cumberland Pres
byterian Church.

ton to the scene. Each man selects the
particular line in which he can do his
best and quickest work. and all labor with
a strict eye to time and business.
In one studio devoted to the Scent oil
paintings there are half dozen girls who
work eighty hours a week and these earn
only from 81 to $2.75 each. They work for
a big wholesale house on the continent,
and their speciality is the Snowy little
landscape or marine paintings so famil-
lar to those who patronize the itinerant
auctioneer or the cheap house furnisher.
Incredible though it may seem, there are
some sweating firms who expect the art
list to find his or her own canvas and
colors and then to turn out oil paintings
at cents apiece. But the better class
dealers provide the materials or make
an allowance for the extra cost.
