His Last Hope Realized.

From the Sentinel, Gebo. Mont1
In the first opening of Oklahoma to
settlers in 1889, the editor of this pa
per was among the many seekers after
fortune who made the big race one
fine day in April. During his travel
ing about and afterwards his camp
ing upon his claim, he encountered
much bad water, which, together
with the severe heat, gave him a very
severe diarrhoea which it seemed al
most impossible to check, and in June
the case became SO bad he expected to
to die. One day, one of his neighbors
brought him one small bottle of Cham
berlain S Collie, Cholera and Diarrhoea
Remedy as last hope. A big dose
was given him while he was rolling
about ON the ground in great agony,
and in a few minutes the dose was
repeated. The good effect of the
medicine was soon noticed and within
an hour the patient was taking his
first sound sleep for fortnight. That
one little bottle worked a complete
cure, and he cannot help but feel
grateful. The season for bowel dis
orders being at hand suggests this

LITERARY VALUE OF THE PRAYER
BOOK. -<~-~-:---3v-~.<>.>~. - :. !

In the London Spectator of May 10,
q writer of merit discourses at length,
on the Anglican prayer book as a piece
OF good literature, and points out GER
tain passages in the prayers and col
]ects that are gems of literary style
and sentiment, recommending that
it be read for its beauty by people
who, even though they are not litur-
gists, may yet be lovers of beautiful
phraseology. 7
One of the first passages in the
prayer book to which the writer re-
fcrs is the invocation at the first of
the Forms OF Prayer to Be Used at
Sea-" beginning, 80, Eternal Lord,
God, who alone spreadest out the
Heavens and rulest the ragings of the
sea, who has compassed the waters
with bounds until day and night come
to an end."
Commencing this, the Spectator
says: ''Could anything be better
worded or any more suggestive OF the
empty landscape of the sky and ocean,
unchanged but by light and dark
ness"
Another phrase from this prayer
has become part of the language Of
the law-makers-''s such as pass on the
seas upon their lawful occasions''-
suggesting all the romance OF the sea
that must have flashed in picturesque
tableaux before the mind IS eye Of the
writer, visions of evil-looking craft fly
ing the Jolly Roger and preying on
the merchantmen and smaller ships
on the high seas.
The sentence embodying all the
pomp and glory Of language rich in
expressive words is from the commun-
ion service: Therefore, with angels
and archangels, and with all the COM
pany of Heaven" the phrase runs,
and visions of such heavenly splendor
as came to John on the Island of Pat

SAD MEMORIES REVIVED.

Last weeks Grenada SENTINEL is
an unusually interesting number to
,ls and yet it produced emotions of
sadness in causing us to look back
ward along the vista Of the past.
Its local page is draped in mourning,
and no less than three deaths are an-
nounced in its columns, two of which
carry us back to- the lalcyon days of
our boyhood in Grenada. The de-
parted ones were Mrs. Mary Eliza
beth Ayers, Miss Clara Guy and Mrs.
Wellington Beard. The last we
never knew, nor any of her relatives.
Nor did we personally know either of
the others, but the father of the
first, we knew long ago and later we
think a son Of his and brother OF the
good lady whose death occurred on
the 9th instant. The second, if we
mistake not, was grand daughter
of an old friend whose home was
about a mile below Grenada, when
we lived in the town, and was the
seat Of a kind hospitality which we
have enjoyed. He was once, if no
oftener, elected to the legislature
from what was then YalObusha
county, and was highly esteemed by
all who knew him. Mr.. Samuel
Hart, Gather of Mrs. Ayres) was a.
popular and thriving merchant Of
Carrollton, when we knew him, and
We think held some public Office Also
We have a recollection OF the hus-
band of Mrs. Ayres and OF relatives
Of his, and perhaps his parents, and a
sen or two long ago, and all stood
high in the community. Strange

NUMBER 49

Some time ago The Record stated
that Gov. Longino's candidacy was
growing stronger as the election ap-
preached; and that this is SO is shown
with unmistakable clearness every
day. Papers that opposed him at the
beginning of the campaign are now
declaring for him, while others which
apparently had no idea of engaging
in the contest, are gradually coming
to his aid, with the result that the
Governor today enjoys a formidable
newspaper support. Our own Coast
IS a notable example of what we wish
to convey. 1t has not been long since
Gov. Longino was without the sup
port OF a single newspaper along the
whole seacoast, but not so now: The
ablest papers in South Mississippi, ln-
Guiding the Scranton Chronicle, Bay
st. Louis Progress and Echo and the
Biloxi Herald, the last named paper
declaring itself for him in a column
and half editorial Wednesday even
ing, are now working with all the
zeal and ability at their command to
encompass his election. 1t will be
remembered that The Herald was
amongst those papers opposing him at
the beginning of the campaign. The
Record attemped, Saturday morning
last, to show the partial causes that
have operated to bring about this
remarkable change, namely, Senator
Moneys practical advocacy of Major
Vardaman's candidacy and approval
of his views respecting the so-called
negro agitation. There are thousands
of voters against the Majors position
upon this questisn, who have turned
against Senator Money for no other
reason than that he is in sympathy
with Mr.. Vardaman. Then again
there are a number of people who,
since seeming and hearing the two
candidates, comparing their ages, their
practical abilities, their power to &C
complish the most good for the
State, have resolved to support Gov.
Longino. Whatever the various rea-
sons people may assign for their change

mos drift across the Inner conscious
ness as the words fall. --...->..:
So far as the actual writing is con-
cerned, the Spectator finds the collect
for the first Sunday in Advent to be
the best OF all. In this prayer the
church prays for grace, "that we may
cast away the works of darkness, and
put upon us the armor of light, now
in the time of this mortal life in which
thy Son, Jesus Christ, came to visit
US in great humility: that in the last
day, when He shall come again in His
glorious majestry to Judge both the
quick and the dead, we may rise to
the life immortal" Other people
might prefer the simple and less flow
cry expressions, but as ones religious
views must necessarily tinge the men,
tai attitude toward whatever is read,
the various collects and prayers will
appeal to each reader differently, and
there will be special admirers for each
separate passage in the book.
Simplicity is as characteristic OF the
general style as gorgeousness is, and a
phrase quoted in proof of this is that
which the petitioners use when they
pray THAT they may be cleansed from
all their sins, and serve Thee with a
quiet mind"
This is commended for it's allitera-
ton and it's clever wording, which is
meant to catch the tagging zeal of
the penitent, and awaken him to
deeper interest: 80, God, Merciful
Father, who in the time of Elisha,
the prophet, didst suddenly in Sama-
ria turn great scarcity and dearth in
to plenty and cheapness;" and again
in the collect for st. Luke's Day the
apt allusion is noted: Almighty God,
who callest Luke, the Physician,
whose praise is in the Gospel, to be
an Evangelist and Physician of the
SOUL"
Throughout the book prevails the
same beauty of expression, wether
due to superior literary skill, or inspi-
ration on the part of the writer's, or
to both, is not known, but it has ad-
ded to the literature of the Anglo
Saxon world, volume of rare merit
that deserves wide recognition for it's
literary, II not for it's religious influ-
ences. Memphis Scimitar.
