another of the series of special evan

he fell to the ground, and wallowed
foaming"
In beginning his sermon Mr. Oxford
briefly outlined the events which gave
rise to the text. A young man had
been afflicted with an evil spirit since
hrs birth, which inflicted on him the
greatest tortures. The father brought
the boy to Christ, and when he ex-
pressed his belief in the divinity of the
Master, the evil spirit was ordered to
depart. This he did, though not until
he had struggled fearfully with the boy
and tortured him.
That was one way" said Mr.. Ok
ford, that the devil sought to keep
the boy from believing. His opposition
TO people believing on Christ to-day is
as strong as it was in those times
Every possible means he puts to use
to defeat the holy purposes of Christ
and to retain his victims.
Love of riches kept the young ruler
from Christ and many have been kept
from Him through the same cause. The
devil to-day fights his battles careful
ly, attacking always the weakest
points. To some he appeals through
the appetites, through love of power,
or of wealth to others; through wine
to still Others To each man or woman
who seeks to come to Christ the devil
opposes his full force. Yet as faith
saved the boy in the days of old, so
will it save the men and women of
to-day"

plea to accept Christ as their Lord and

EDUCATION OF THE NEGRO
Is the Problem of the Entire Country Says
LaWton B. Evans.

Supt Lawton B. Evans of the Rich
mond county public schools, in his ad-
dress before the Georgia Industrial Col
lege last week, gave a good deal Of
practical advice to the graduates. The
education of the negro. he said, is not
the Soutf's problem alone. 1t is the
problem of the whole country. The
place for the negro is in this country
he said. The South needs labor, and
skilled labor, at that "The place for
you graduates" he said, 'is not so
much to do the labor as to take your
place as directors of labor. 1t is your
duty to teach others what to do. AS
long as negroes are contented to work
in the cotton fields for so cents day
they are worth no more, but when they
become skilled workmen, their wages
will be increased and their condition
will be improved. / have no patience
with those who believe that education
should be reserved for the few. The
ignorant negro is a dead weight upon
the progress of the South. Educate him
and he will add greatly to its wealth
and prosperity After laboring with
the negro for twenty years 1t is my
opinion that he ought to be educated
both in hand and mind.
THE school is not to be arraigned IL
the negro is immoral. This is not its
special business. The school does not
make a man more honest or more
moral. 1t gives him wisdom. The
church makes him better Wisdom
ought to give one better impulses, but
1t does not do so of necessity. The
negro must improve himself morally.
He cannot be lifted up by the white
man. He must do 1t himself. A vi
cious white man is as much nuisance
as a wicked negro. Thousands of men
in the South believe that the negro
ought not to be educated, but on the
other hand thousands more believe he
ought to be educated. am among
that number"

DOG KILLED BIG WILDCAT.
New Hampshire Foxhound Encount-
cred Fierce Opponent and
Came Out Victorious.

In a fight between foxhound and a
wildcat, the betting man would be in
clined to place his money on the latter,
and feel that the percentage in favor
of his winning would be great enough
to satisfy any reasonable man looking
for a gamble.
Nevertheless, a good, husky wildcat
was put to the bad by a foXhound in
Charlestown, NJ. H., a few days ago,
which shows that it is no "cinch' to
bet on the wildcat. No one saw the
fight in which the wildcat, in this par
ticular instance, came out second best,
but the results were very much in evil
dence.

KING CARRIED EGG BASKET
How Denmark's Venerable Monarch
Once Upon a Time Helped
Peasant Woman.

King Christian of Denmark, dean of
the worlds monarchs, likes to move
about among his people without cere-
mony. Frequently during his daily
walks about the streets of Copenhagen
he has been known to hail a common cab
and drive to his castle.
His plain, quiet habits he has always
maintained from the time when he was
only an ordinary officer in the Danish
army and had no thought of ever be-
coming king.
One day King Christian sat on bench
in the wood near Fredensborg, smoking
his cigar and whkking the fallen leaves
with his cane, when an old peasant wom-
an came along, carrying a basketful of
eggs. She took a seat beside the king.
Looking at the white-haired, plainly
clad old man, she said:
you are from the neighborhood here,
l s'pose?"
Eyes, am" replied the king.
"Then you can tell me if the castle is
far from here. thought of selling my
eggs there, you know"
THE castle lies on the other side of
