Maintaining the Dignity OF the Pulpit.

Some preachers think that they
increase interest and power in the
pulpit by using slang and coarse
jokes. 1t seldom happens that one
does as the lady mentioned below,
but all nave felt that it should be
done.
Recently in a church in one of our
large cities the rector wound up a
pungent discourse with the some
what slang expression "Put that in
your pipes and smoke it," A lady
in the congregation, whose indigna-
tion overcame her modesty, arose in
one Of the front pews and rebuked
him, saying that they were not ac-
customed in that church to hear such
und'gnified utterances from the pull
pit. The woman was right, and the
rebuke was well deserved. The pull
pit is too sacred place for vulgar
isIns or slang phrases. DR.. Buckley,
of the New York Advocate, is re-
ported 10 have said in a late chau-
tauqua address that "no minister
should try to make his congregation
laugh" the Hartford Times says:
"It would be better for them to
laugh than to yawn." But is it not
better to do neither?

Reaching Men.

In order that he may familarize
himself with the life of railroad men,
Rev. Dwight E. Potter, pastor Of
Union Street Presbyterian church,
in Oakland, Cal, has gone to work
as an oiler in the West Oakland
railroad yards. The preachers
church is located in that section of
the town, and Mr.. Potter hopes, by
donning overalls and going to work
with the oilers, to come in closer
touch with railroad men. Rev. Ger
vase Roughton, pastor of Wesley
chapel, Methodist church in Gin
cinnati, who had been an expert
molder before he became a preacher,
learning that a molder who had
dropped into his church had been
convicted of the sinfullness of his
life, applied for position in the
same shop, so that he might be near
the man. Several days passed be.
fore the molder recognized the
preacher as his fellow workman.
When he awoke to the fact and
what it meant, he said to Mr.. Rough
ton: eff you are so much interested
in the salvation of my soul as to hire
out to do this kind of hard work in
order that you might be near me, /
certainly ought to be interested in
my own salvation" He was con-
verted soon afterward, and is now
an earnest Christian worker.

some sems.sasle Cotton.

#. III. Hyatt, whose farm near Co.
lumbia WAS made the scene of ex-
periments in diversification of crops
by the agricultural department, has
produced boil containing l8 looks,
1t weighs half an ounce, 32 bolls to
the pound, or about three times the
weight of average cotton, it requir-
ing 100 or ITO bolls of common va
rieties to make pound.
Speaking of MIR. Hyatt's success,
the Columbia State says: "This
boil Of cotton was exhibited to some
of the expert cotton men in town
and on investigation was found
we'll matured with good staple.
Mr.. Hyatt states that he has good
deal of cotton from 7 TO IL locks to
the boil and he has quite a number
running as high as l3, and this com.
ing season he proposes to pick the
seed from this cotton and put it into
location where it will not come in
contact with any other grade of cot
ton while growing. And if be
should succeed in getting this cotton
to reproduce itself it does look as if
the cotton plant will be almost
doubled in value as soon as this is
established and demonstrated as q
fact. Mr.. Hyatt is not yet prepared
to put the seed on the market. 1t
requires several years to get fixed
type which will reproduce itself and
will not deteriorate in succeeding
seasons.

Ditchers Find $4,000 in Gold.

An iron pot containing $4,000 in
gold coin, the newest of which was
1l5 years old, was found on the farm
of James Rivers, near Chesterfield,
S. c., by Tyler Teal, white laborer,
and Will Edwards, negro, while
engaged recently in digging ditch.
The pot was carried to point two
miles away and buried near creek
bank. When two days later the
finders went after the pot, it had
mysteriously disappeared. The ne
gro charges that the white man had
appropriated the money and has hid
den it from him, while Teal declares
that the story is all joke and no
pot was unearthed. Edwards sticks
to his story and has produced proofs
to its genuineness. Detective j. d.
Evans, who has associated with him
one of the best known detectives in
the South, who were employed by
the negro, and who have since been
working on the case, have secured
evidence confirming the discovery of
the hidden wealth, but thus far no
trace of the gold has been found.

Georgia Baptisis Down on Liquor.

The members of Baptist churches
living in Atlanta and surrounding
towns, who own property in which
saloons are run will either have to
sell their property, make the bar
keepers move out, or quit the church,
according TO the decision of the
Stone Mountain Baptist Association,
which met at Lithonia last week.
The resolution was introduced by
DR.. Len G. Brougbton, of Atlanta,
and created considerable excitement,
but was adopted by big majority.
The resolutions provide that should
any church in the Association refuse
to expel members disobeying this
command, the churches shall be
turned out of the association. 1t is
thought that several churches may
object to carrying out the resolution
and sensational results are expected.
