ON AND OFF GUARD.
A False Condition of Mind and Heart
Which Is Destructive of
the True Man.

A r man is never on his guard. He
is never watching himself lest he say
unwise words or 40 ungentlemanly
things. He has neither home manners.
nor street manners, nor company man
ners. He has 40 pulpit tone, social tone,
nor business tone. When a nan feels
that he must be on his guard. in view Of
the company in which he happens to be.
it is an indication o&hypocrisy. all thu
worse if it is unconscious. The true
gentleman is a gentleman all the time
asleep or awake. Some time ago a prom
inent lecturer was telling of a dream he
had. in the course of which came a test
as to whether he would be true to his
word. even though it was at great cost
to himself. Il made a right decision"
he said. land on waking | was so glad
to discover that | did not play the dog
in my dream" He was unconsciously
rightAthroush and through. The man
who ean trust himself in his dreams is
likely to be trusted in his waking hours.
It is in the natural, unguarded actions of
life that we reveal Il true selves. u

hurried response of his friend. There
was a moments awkward pause. a deep
blush. and one man reached over the
desk TO another and said: 81 want to

In conversation with a friend recently.
the writer was saying that he was sorry
a certain MAI talked as he did. THAT
isn't it." said the other: "he wouldn't
talk that way if he did not think that
way; he should not think that way. then
he would never have trouble with his
speech" All of which is true; ii is the
unconscious Christian that is likely to
be the best Christian: when one must
take pains to express his character il is
an indication that there is something
wanting under the surface.-Servica.

The Right Sort of Rest

1t is rest first, and after that all else
that He holds for Us. Our rest should
be like our Sabbath, a beginning ofthe
days. Under the law the order was,
work at the first, and day after day I'M
til the seventh, when labor shall end
in rest. Bur when Christ rose from
the dead, that first day of the week be-
came the hallowed one, co~nsecrated to
life and rest and joy. And from that
living, joyful rest in Him, the whole
being e~nergized and fitted for its task,
the soul can go On tC serve Him to the
end. 1t has found its rest because it
has ceased from working in its own
strength, ceased from its W will, and
now God worketh in it to will and to
do of His w good pleasure. Practi-
cally, it MAKES the widest possible diff
ference whether We work up to rest or
from it.-Sarah F. Smiley.

Mississippi State News
A Remarkable Couple.

One of the most remarkable fami-
lies in the State of Mississippi, and,
doubtless, in the country, lives in
Jones county, a few miles out from
the thriving little city of Laurel.
Mr.. John Lowe and his wife, Mrs.
Emily Lowe, are splendid testimo-
mails to the health and the longevity
Of the citizens of that section Of
Mississippi, he having reached the
ripe old age of % years, and she
having gone him one better and eel
ebrated her 96th birthday. This
wonderfully preserved old couple
were married more than s%exenty-six
: years ago, and settled in Jones coun-
ty, where they have lived 0 than
three-quarters Of a century. Thir-
teen children came to bless their
union, race suicide being unknown
to them. They have 63 grandchil-
dren, 1913 great-grandchildren, and
9 Observation-Disclosures, MAX
ing five generations now living.
One of the most remarkable features
Of the cast is that these old people
can see and hear just about as well
as they ever could. Mr.. Lowe can
shoot a rife with great accuracy,
and has never worn a pair of spec
tacles in his life. The immediate
family now living numbers 207 men
and women, all of whom are highly
respected, and most of them well-to-
do, so far as this worlds goods are
concerned.

Patience and Trust.

You want to be true, and you are try
Ing to be. Learn these two things
never to be discouraged because good
things get on slowly here. and never to
fail daily to do that good which lies
mex to your hand. Do not be in a
hurry, but be diligent. Enter into that
sublime patience of the Lord. Be char
liable in view of it. God car afford to
wait; why cannot we, since we have Him
to fall back upon? Let patience have
celestial fruits. Trust to God to
weave your thread into the great web,
though the pattern shows it not yet

THE RIGHT TO SPEAK.
Why the Christian Should Speak Out
the Message OF the
Christ.

Sir John Lubbock, the eminent Eng
lish naturalist. has spent a lifetime in the
study OF the habits Of ants and other in
sects. He has made some very wonder
full discoveries, some of which are con-
trary to the common ideas Of the ways
of these insects; but when Sir John Lub-
book publishes anything about ants the
world reads it and accepts it as authors
tative. for by his long, patient and ac-
curate researches the naturalist has
earned the right to speak upon that sub
ject. For the same reason the world
eagerly listens to anything that Thomas
A. Edison may have to say about phono-
graphs or any other topic connected
with the development of electrical pow
er, or to anything that Mr.. Ernest
Thompson-Seton may have to say about
the habits of wild animals. These men
have created for themselves the right
to speak on these subjects, but when
Joshua says: Come hitler, and hear
the words of the Lord your Cod his
foundation. and the distinction between
them is not always kept SO clear as It
ought to be. Joshua's right to speak does
not rest upon his own Investigations
into the realm OF spiritual truth. but
upon the fact that he has received a mes

speak with confidence.
1t is the same right TO speak which
Joshua had hat belongs to every Sun
day school teacher. to every minister,
to every disciple of our Lord, says j.
Mervin Hull, in Christian Work. All in
v~estigations of every kind. natural.
scientific. philosophical. ethical, are lin
tied by the vastness of the field. No man
car ever say that he has covered all the
ground so as to come to an absolutely
sure conclusion. But the humblest disci-
Pile can teach love to God and man and be
absolutely sure that he is right. He has
the authority of the Lord Himself for it.
1t is a pity that we realize SO imperfectly
the nature of this right to speak the
truths of Gods word. 1t would be an
excellent idea for every teacher and

lie just bubbled over with enthusiasm
for it. He never made the mistake Of
delivering it as if it were his message,
but he simply gave Il that it was the
message of the Lord. and never made any
pretense of bolstering it up by any other
authority. That view OF u right to
speak enables us to speak with helpful
ness to everyEind of human need. HUI
man hearts are yearning for certainty
in spiritual things. 1t is the privilege of
the disciples of the Master to speak the
things which he has revealed with a 1 note
Of authority which shall comfort those
who are in sorrow. guide those who are
wandering. and encourage those who are
fighting the battle of life. If the world
is asking in despair, Is life worth living?
those who know that to live is Christ
have for it the message of life more
a~bundantly.

Contract system Adopted.

put into f~irst-class condition accord

two years by the contractor. who is
under bond for the faithful per-
Torrance of his duties to the
amount of the cost Of his contract.
They have let out about 100 miles
of roads in the county on these con
tracts, and the price ranges from
$32 to sos per mile. To people
who can't see the conservation of
energy in it, it seems an enormous
expenditure. but where it has been

no light IN them they are Of no use to
the world. We cannot illume the
world with candle-sticks. We do hot be-

Brisk Business in Charters.

The new wear has started off III a
disk manner as far as charters are
concerned, and the office of the sec
rotary Of State is fairly oyerrun
with them. These charters are for
corporations organized in all parts
Of the State and of every descrip-
ton. During the last few days the
secretary Of State has received a
number of letters and kilograms
from parties in New York, asking
him to rush at once certified copies
of railroad charters which have been
granted during the last few weeks.
This would seem to indicate that the
railroad charters which have been
taken out in. the past few months
are not going to lapse like a good
many have in the past, but are to be
utilized by those persons to whom
they have been granted. The rail-
road outlook in the State was never
brighter, and it is believed that this
will be one Of the best years in the
history of the State for railroad
construction.
