THE SPIRIT OF WINTER.

The Spirit of Winter is with US,
making Its presence known in many
different ways-sometimes by CHEEKY
sunshine and glistening SHOWS, and
sometimes by driving winds and blind
ing storms. To many people it seems
to take delight in making bad things
worse, for rheumatism twists harder,
twinges sharper, catarrh becomes
more annoying, and the many symp-
toms of scrofula are developed and
aggravated. There is not much poe
try in this, but there is truth and it
is wonder that more people don't get
rid of these ailments. The medicine
that cures them-Hood's Sarsaparilla
is easily obtained and there is album
dant proof that its cures are radical
and permanent.

INCIDENTS
AzaOBSERvATIoNs.
(BY II. l.. GRAY.)

some days ago L was an interested
listener at the discussion of the pro
and con of public school education for
boys between two women. one of
whom had arrived at the perplexing
point of having to decide her first
educational problem and both of
whom were firm believers in the in
nate goodness of their offspring. the
question being whether the one school
WAS apt TO be more corrupting to
youthful morals than another.
Whereupon brute of man who
was present broke in with the as
sertion that the only real question at
stake was whether the boys intended
to live in the town in which they were
To start out on their school life. In
that case, said he, every boy ought
To go TO public school for the benefit
that he will get in after life by con-
tact i'm early boyhood with the men
who will afterwards comprise the
citizenship of the town in which he is
going to live. 'Other than that said
the man. Il don't see much difference
between the public and private
school for boys-unless, possibly.
there is a little less danger in the
latter OF infection from other chill
dren."
''That is just it!' exclaimed tha
mother. Il do not want my boys to
come into contact with the children
of people who have not a high moral
sense. 1t seems to me that. where so
many boys are gathered together, as
in the case of a public school, the
danger of moral contamination is

man. Il was talking about physical,
not moral contamination. If that is

manifest in our social life. So long rs
punch bowls and card parties are pop
uar, and so long as moral lepers are
received into the inner circles with
open arms, our social realm is mis-
sionary round; but even here VIC
fancy we discern some signs of awak-
ening. The pity of it all is that 30
many of our churches are involved
in this social side of our lives, and
blindly condone and even encourage
practices and privileges that are at
warfare with our moral veal. The
church must stand against the UNI
moral conditions, and ally itself with
the moral forces that are underneath
and gradually lifting us to a higher
plane, or it must be ruthlessly run
over and destroyed; for God is in his
great movement that carries us for
ward and His eyes can not be blinded
by the thin veneer of social position
and prominence The church that bids
for the popular and the prominent
through the false plea that it opens
the door to society is more an agency
of the devil than of the Lord. 1t is a
blessed reflection, however, that the
race is rising in spite of these things
and all others, that would hinder our
progress toward higher and happier
living.

The Upward Trend.

The uprising of the people in behalf
of temperance all over North Carolina
is only one of many indications that
men are growing better than they
were. We are weary of the old cry,
which generally proceeds from those
who have failed, as to how we are
going to reach the masses with the
gospel. Why give them the gospel
that's how. People are eager to hear
real preaching and the man who
knows how to preach finds no trouble
about congregations. Furthermore, the
scoffer at sacred things the black
guard, the profanc and the irreverent
are gradually falling into the back
ground and men with clean lips and
lives are preferred before them. There
is still vice, and crime, and drunken
ness, TO be sure and one need not go
far to find it, but the sentiment against
these things is more widespread than
ever before. 1t is quite noteworthy
in politics. A man must be more than
sober-he must be clean and honor
able in order to enjoy the esteem and
secure the suffrage of the public. This
is powerful incentive to young men
to be rid of evil habits and preserve
inViolate their moral manhood. This
upward trend has not yet been so
