The Christian Year--Whitsuntide.
Communicated.

We are on the eve OF Whitsunday
which falls on Sunday next. 1t is some
times called the feast OF PentecOst. being
the fifteenth day after Easter. As it was
celebrated among the Jews as the day
on which the Law was given from Mount
Sinai, so by Christians it is kept in men,
DRY of the giving Of the Gospel in. its full
ness by the descent of the Holy Ghost.
The body of Adam was formed OF the
dust OF the earth, in it was neither life
until God ''breathed into his nostrils the
breath OF life, and man became living
SOUL So when our Lord had appointed
His Apostles and ordered the church and
assembled into heaven, He sent down
upon this His Mystical body the prom
ise OF the Father, the Life-giving Spirit,
to abide in it forever. Fol, ten days the
disciples, gathered in "the upper room"
at Jerusalem, waited in prayerful expec-
tation till the promised gift should come,
when suddenly, on the morning OF the
Lords Day, sound as OF a rushing
mighty wind filed all the house where
they were sitting; there appeared unto
| them clOven tongues like as of fire, and
it sat upon each OF them. and they We're
all filled with the Holy Ghost and began
to speak in languages which they had
never learned, in token that they were
now endued with power from on high
| and fitted to make known to all nations
the Gospel of the Kingdom OF God.
Henceforth we live under the DISPENSE
ton OF the Spirit OF God. His servants
may speak, but He alone can teach; they
labor. but He alone determines what
shall be the effect OF their work; it is
| theirs to declare the Gospel to the whole
! world, but His only to bring it home to
| the hearts Of men, to turn them from
darkness unto light and from the power
| OF Satan unto God. 1t is Him who in
Holy Baptism makes us members Of
Christ, and in Holy Communion nour-
ishes us with the Body and Blood OF our
Lord.
strengthen our weakness, to inform our
ignorance, to warm our GOODNESS, to heal
our sin-sickness, to raise us from the
death of sin unto the life of righteousness,
to cheer our loneliness and to comfort us
in sorrow as well as to sanctify our joy
Therefore IF we live in the Spirit, let US
also walk in the Spirit"
Whitsuntide, the week closing with
Trinity Sunday, is the last great festival
of the Christian year. The Trinity Sea-
son which follows is occupied with les
sons intended to apply to the daily life
the teaching of the life and work of our
Blessed Lord as the facts have been pre-
sented to us in the past half year. There
are no more such lessons until the Advent
cry shall remind us of the coming Of the
Son Of Man. May the successive lessons
of the Christian year be so impressed
upon our minds by the Holy Spirit Of
God, that whatsoever we shall be called
hence we may be found as servants who
wait for their Lord, and may enter for
ever into His joy. Amen.

Stomach Tablets.

Mr.. R. E. Jones, buyer for Parker Bird
get, whose large department stores are
located at 9th and Penn. Ave, Washington,
D. c., writes, under date of April IA, 1904, as
follows: Last February, while in New York
on business for my house, 1 caught a severe
cold, which laid me up for several weeks and
left me weak and nervous. l had little or no
appetite and my digestion was very poor.
My physicians could not get at the cause of
my trouble, as my digestion seemed so much
impaired. l decided to try RYDALE'S
STOMACH TABLETS, being assured by a
friend, they were good dyspepsia medicine.
After using them for few days, began to
realize that was getting better. gave up
the doctors prescription and have gained 20
pounds while using two boxes OF these tab

Fine Stock Feed.

Mr.. |. NJ. Green was showing sam
Piles of the harry vetch Saturday
which he has successfully grown for
some years. The specimen was two
and half feet long and will grow as
high as wheat. 1t is a fine feed and
easily grown. The seed are planted
from July to October and do best
when sown with annual clover or
wheat, preparing the land as for
either of these crops. Stock relish
it and thrive on it. When Il good
stand is secured the crop is self-per-
petuating for years coming up each
spring like the old fashion red top
clover. Mr.. Green bought the seed
originally from W. w. Parker. He
recommends the harry Eetch as the
very thing for the farmers OF this sec
ton to plant and will take pleasure
in giving any information he can
about it.

Demonstration Some of the Good
Things He has to Eat.

rlr. K. B. Powell Shows by Practical
Demonstration Some of the Good
Things He has to Eat.
In the language OF Cousin Sally
billiard, Mr.. Robert B. Powell che
gin a treat" Monday. The festivities
were held at the store and all during
the day his place of business was the
scene of much interest and pleasure.
Mr.. Powell has one of the handsom-
est grocery stores to be found any
where. He keeps large and varied
stock, everything fresh and up-to-
date, and deals in the highest class
OF goods. He has built up a large
trade and is constantly adding to
his list OF customers. Handling the
class OF goods the people want,
prompt attention to business, low
prices and printers ink tell the tale
OF his growing success.
To better advertise the goods OF
the Havenner Baking Company, OF
Washington, d. c., q luncheon was
arranged for Monday. OF course MIR.
Powell has other good things in his
store and to make the bill OF fare
complete Chase & Sanborn's cOffees
and teas, Heinz's pickles, etc, were
included also. The store was appro-
priately decorated, one show window
being draped with United States flags
and the other with japanese para
soils and fans, furnished for the oc-
casion by the exhibitors. In re-
spouse to invitations more than
one-thousand people visited the store
during the day and partook OF Mr..
PowelFs hospitality. Dainty and
delicious refreshments were served in
a manner that denoted the adept in
providing for the inner man and the
treat" was enjoyed by all who at
tended.
AS intimated above the object was
to better advertise the cakes and
crackers Of the Havenner Baking
Company. While this is an old con-
Germ Established in 1879 their
goods are comparatively new on
this market. There is nothing finer
and every package is guaranteed.
Mr.. Powell handles these goods in
Henderson exclusively.
Chase & SanbOrn's teas or coffees,
of which Mr.. Powell has the exclusive
control in this market, need no words
of commentator. This is the larg
est tea and coffee house in this whole
country and no higher class goods
are to be found anywhere. They
served their coffee exclusively in the
Worlds Fair grounds at Chicago,
52,OO0,OOO of people tasting and
testifying to the high quality OF their
goods as that occasion.
And Heinz's goods-their 81 pro-
ducts-you know what they are. And
there is nothing finer. Mr.. Powell
sells them and that's saying enough.

Mr.. Hicks a DELEGATE.

The Republican Convention for the
Fourth Congressional District, held
in Raleigh Monday, elected Mr.. T. T.
Hicks, of Henderson, a delegate to
the National Convention at Chicago.
Postmaster c. T. Bailey, of Raleig h,
was the other delegate elected. J. P.
ii. Adams and j. j. Reynolds were
elected as alternates. No nomina-
ton for Congress was made the mat
ter being deferred until the first
Wednesday in August when the con-
vention will meet again for that pur-
pose.
The Raleigh Times of Monday
afternoon in referring to the matter
before the convention was held said
this:
A prominent Republican was asked
what he thought of nominating a
candidate for Congress. He said:
"Of course there is no chance to
elect anybody from this district, but
| should favor upon general princi-
pies having a candidate for every
office, county, State and Congress
sional, as the only way to preserve
party organization. II a candidate
is nominated it will probably be T.
T. Hicks, of Henderson. He is a new
recruit, and man ofintelligence, and
this would be stroke of policy to
offer him the nomination.

finer fish that swims than a rOckfish
