Organization.

In the afternoon another interest
ing meeting was held in the village
of Jordiana, near Seneca, where a
cotton mill is located. A considera-
BILE number of Baptists are connected
with this mill and for over year
they have had Sunday school, a
regular prayer meeting and occas-
ional preaching services. 1t was felt
that the time had come to organize a
church. Upon invitation Rev. w.
w. Leathers, several brethren from
surrounding churches and the writer
met with them for this purpose.
Letters of dismission from other
churches were presented by % bre-
thren and sisters who, after adopting
articles of faith and church cove
nant, were recognized by the presby-
terry as a church of Jesus Christ.
The church was named after the
village, Jordiana. Its first act was a
contribution for missions. The in
fant organization is composed of
good material, and there is bright
future before it. So mote it BET.

Many years ago, DIR. Andrew Pea
body preached baocalaureate
sermon, at Harvard College, on aThe
Will"
He said that we often excuse our
selves for our wrong deeds and words
on the ground that temptation comes
to US suddenly, and that we act inyol.
UNFAIRLY, before we have time to rally
our forces. He admitted this as a
valid excuse for those particular acts
and words; but said that the true re-
sponsibility lies farther back--that
temptations are continually coming
to us when we do have time to think !;
that, if we yield to these, we not
only do wrong at once, but that we
weaken the moral fiber so that we do
wrong in other instances when we
have no time to think; and that if
we resist temptation when we can
resist, we are forming habit of feel
ing and action which will, by and by,
help us to do right unhesitatingly.
A mans life is spent in writing his
own biography. Beyond his control
is the phonograph of the soul, which
registers faithfully every thought,
however feeble every act, however
small; every sensation, however slight;
every impulse, every aspiration,
every ambition, every effort, every
stimulus, on the cerebral tissue.
Usually that which man calls
fate is web of his own weaving,
from threads of bis own spinning.
All Good Is the Harvest Of Right Sowing.
81 would give world, if / had it,"
said an unfortunate wretch, "to be
a true man yet in twenty-four hours
| may be overcome and disgraced
with shilling's worth of sim"
We can learn to live nobly only
oy acting.nobly on every! occasion.
If you shirk the first trial of your
manhood, you will go 30 much
weaker to the second; and if the
next occasion and the next find you
unprepared, you will unquestionably
sink into baseness. A swimmer be-
comes strong to stem the tide only
by frequently breasting the high
waves.

Jeaiousy common to two different
races abiding together. Korea is SO
necessary to Japan, as a haven for
its overflow population, that it cannot
permit Russia to annex it, aside
from the menace politically. Russia
always has and always will pursue a
dog-in.the-manger policy, Wherever
the Great Bear goes there is no room
tor other nationalities; the Jap, on
the other hand, welcomes the white
foreigners. The prospect of Manohu.
ria becoming annexed has menaced
the future of the island empire, but
the prospect of Korea being made
Russian, in whole or in part, was
something that could not be thought
of for moment. Then Korea is an
Important stepping stone to China,
80 Russia thinks.
What does Russia want of Korea
The master minds--and for ages
the highest Russian ministers have
been such--who planned that gigan.
tic undertaking, the Trans. Siberia
railway, probably mapped out, step
by step, the movements that have
followed. They probably even in
cluded just such war as is in sight.
Several pages might be covered with
interesting narratives of this great
project, for it Gel tainly is one of the
greatest things ever attempted in the
worlds history, including, as it does,
the various ramitications into diplo-
macy, conquest and commercial ac-
tivity, both on land and sea.
The great railway is fact /; it ex-
tends from st. Petersburg across the
plains of Russia over the mountains,
through the dense forests and over
the rolling steppes of drear Siberia
over gorges, around morasses, cross
ing rivers and lakes, winding through
Manchuria to cover the best land,
and circling at its extreme eastern
end in order to cover the summer
port of Vladovostock and the winter
port of Port Arthur, and thus
reaches the tributaries of the great
Pacific.
Korea is like the hind leg of a
rabbit, with Vladivostock at its top
and Port Arthur at the gambrell
joint, and the most important part
of Japan at the toe. The broad and
deep Yalu river separates Manchuria
from Korea. The Russians have
found that the Yalu is necessary to
them. Vladivostock is now isolated
from the main terminus of the great
railway. The coast line of Korea,
intervening between Vladivostock
and Port Arthur, if Russian, would
make the czar supreme on the west
ern side of the Pacific. 1t would
absolutely overawe japan in the Ja-
pan and Yellow seas.
These are the big stakes being
played for.

Thomas Leachman, who died at his
home near Cartersville, Ca, last Thurs
day, was 100 years old, and was probably
the oldest man in Georgia. He was re-
markable for his physical strength, endu-
rance and vitality. Up to three years
ago, when he received a fall which caused
his health to decline, he was as active as
an ordinary man of so. He picked 1O3
pounds Of cotton on his 1O3d birthday.
When he was about 80 he could cut from
to 0 cords of wood in day.

EsposllI0n Stamps.

An order has been sent to the Ba-
reau of Eugraving and Printing
from the Office of the Third Assis-
tant Postmaster General for the
new Louisiana Purchase Exposition
postage stamps, which are to be
placed on sale throughout the coun-
Try May L. These stamps are
printed with pink ink in denomina-
tions of 1.cent, 2-cent, Scent, 5-cent
and 10 cent, and each bears differ
ent engraving. In the order given
the stamps bear portraits of Robert
Il. Livingston, Thomas Jefferson,
James Monroe, William sMcKinley
and a map of the United States
showing the territory. acquired by
the Louisiana Purchase. There have
been ordered 90,00O,OO0 of the
1-cent stamps, 225,O0O,0O0 of the
2-cent, 100000 of the 3-cent,
9,5OO,OOO of the 5.cent, and 5,5OO,OOO
of the l0-cent. As soon as the Bu-
reau of Engraving and Printing can
print them they will be forwarded TO
the different distributing centers of
the postal service and from there
sent to all the offices of the country
as they are called for by the post
masters. The sale of these stamps
will continue while the exposition at
st. Louis is open. Livingston's por-
trait was placed on the 1-cent stamp
because he was the United States
Minister to France at the time
of the transfer of the property and
conducted the negotiations. Thomas
Jefferson was the President of
the United States at the time and
James Monroe was special ambassa-
dor to France empowered to conclude
the purchase.
McKinley's face appears on the
Scent stamp because he was Presi-
dent at the time the legislation was
enacted that connected the Govern
ment with the Louisiana Purchase
Exposition and signed the act in his
official capacity, and the signifcancy
of the map showing the territory is
self-evident.
1t is not generally known that a
special issue of postage stamps is a
fine investment for the Government,
though there is no activity displayed
to secure the issue. The profit
comes from the fact that philatelists
buy as many of the new issue as
they can carry and hold them for the
certain rise that is sure to come
when the issue is exhausted. These
stamps are therefore not used, and
the Government having sold them at
their face value profits accordingly,
the only cost being the value of the
paper, the glue, the printing and the
ink, mere nominal cost when COM
pared with the sum for which they
are sold. Many thousands of dol
lars were made by the Government
during the run of the Pan American
stamp and there is no reason to sup
pose that similar condition will
not occur when the ST. Louis expo
sition stamps are put on sale.
