Says the Rev ri: R. Hicks, who
is an authority of worldwide repute
on weather and natural phenomena,
in his June number of Word and
Works:
And sure enough, the Lord not
only touched the hills and mountains
and they smoked, but He looked on
the Earth and it trembled, almost
before our paragraph on the subject
insMay Word and Works reached our
yeaders. Those who contend that
the Lord Almighty is not present in
purpose and power, in all these
frightful convulsions of nature, would
hardly agree with Ezekiel, Isaiah or
jeremiah, if either were here to PRO
claim the word of the Lord but
we cannot shake off the solemn con-
viction that God rs coming near us
in His punitive and corrective provi-
dence, and that these fearless and
holy prophets of old would so pro-
claim if they were among us to-day. =

CHILDREN.

A good man was Judge Eli, as de-
scribed in the Book Samuel, but he
let his two boys, Hophni and Phine-
has, do as they pleased, and through
overindulgence they went to ruin.
The blind old Judge, ninety-eight
years of age, is seated at the gate
waiting for the news of an important
battle in which his two sons were at
the front. An express is coming
with tidings from the battle. This
blind nonagenarian puts his hand
behind his ear, and listens, and cries:
What meaneth the noise of this tu-
mult?'' An excited messenger, al!
out of breath with the speed said to
him: Our army is defeated. The
sacred chest, called the Ark, is cap
tured, and your sons are dead on the
field. !" No wonder the father tainted
and expired. The domestic tragedy
in which these two sons we're the ira
gedians had finished its fifth and last
act. He fell from off the seat back
ward to the side Of the gate, and his
neck brake, and he died: for he was
an old man, and heavy Eli had
made an awful mistake in regard to
bis children. The Bible distinctly
says: His sons made themselves
vile and be restrained them not. z
Oh, the 10000 mistakes in rearing
children, mistakes Of parents, mis-
takes of teachers in day-school and
Sabbath classes, mistakes we 4
make. viii it not be useful to con
slider them?

Waynesboro News-Beac n:-As
will be seen, from notsce Of the
Wayne county Election Commission
ers, published elsewhere in this Issue,
she election for District Attorney of
this, the Second Judicial District, is
to take place Tuesday June 18th,
and the object OF this article is to
urge upon every one who is qualified
to vote to be at the polls on election
day and cast his ballot for the man
of his choice.
Down on the coast where two of
the candidates live and near them
another, the interest already being
manifested is intense and it is safe
to say that Jackson, Harrison and
Hancock counties are going to vote
their full strength, and it should be
seen to that the upper counties,
Wayne and Greene, do the same.
To this date the campaign has
been noted for it's cleanliness. There
has been no mud-slinging I'M
derhanded tactics resorted to, one a.
gainst the other, the contestants
seeming to realize that il is race of
neighbor against neighbor, democrat
against democrat, and each one is
seeing just how little Objectionable
campaigning he can do, to the end
that there will be no heart aches
to linger after the contest is finally
ended
If there is full vote polled it will
not only be a consolation to the
successful one to know that he was,
indeed, the choice Of the people, but
will fortify, respectively. against the
defeatcted ones claiming that If
there had been a full vote the result
would have been different.

THE PANTY QUESTION Box.

- - - 49, 'NeN[~1-
Every mother knows that her little
sons and daughters must pass through
several years Of questioning when it
Sc ms as If their young minds were
wondering about everything under
the sun iihovesand beyondit in every
direction. There. are sure to be times
when the questions are very hard
and even Impossible to answer, but
the mother who longest holds sway
over her child1ensis the one who an
swers the questions, truthfully and
tirelessly.
If mothers could realize for a mo-
ment how strange all the world is to
the little people they would not won
der at the number and variety of the
questions.
When any of the wondering ques
tions can be answered by the child
himself, it set to work investigating
the subject, the kindest way of an
swering is in encouraging him to find
out.
There are scores of questions which
mothers cannot answer, and they
should not be ashamed to acknowl-
edge that they do not know what the
answer should be. There are scores
of questions which cannot be an
swered until the children have gro WI
to greater comprehension. 1t will be
easy for the mothers to have won
their children's confidence by an
swering. truthfully, hundreds of
questions, to tell the little people
that they will answer their questions
some day when they are old enough
to understand.
The mothers who willingly answer
the seemingly endless questions of
the baby minds are doing the great
est possible service to their little
people. They are encouraging them
to learn. They are teaching them
the delight of knowing new things
and are paving the way to fine edu-
cation by and by. The children who
are constantly put off or ignored
cease To hone IN find ont thipUc and
lose interest in trying to learn.
The older children of the family are
apt to be very impatient with the
little people for the endless question
ing, but they should be taught that
they, themselves, have passed through
the days of perpetual wonder, and
should be asked to help the little
minds to develop by answering trust
fully as many questions as they can.

There. arc no limits to child slavery.
The problem is not sectional, but ma
tional. Statistics show not poor,
dull old statistics AS we know them,
bit human documents in which ev-
cry init is an infant soul statistics
show that according to the census of
1900 there were in that year LISP,
1877 children admittedly employed in
"gainiul ocupationsp in the United
State. But these figures, it would
be easy to show, are ridiculously.
though perhaps not purposely, be-
low the mark. Many thousands Of
children are working under the pro
lection of cetifcatcs, in which they,
are falsely represented as heing Of
legal age for employment A chila
of ten or eleven years gets certifi-
cate, taken out in her name by an
older sister, perhaps, in which she
is described as fifteen years of age
She needs to work only year to be
actually eleven or twelve years old,
in order to be classed as an adult
over sixteen years of age. There are
many thousands of such cases.
Then, are the thousands of child
toilers in the tenements of our
great cities who are not included in
our census returns at all. These are
not employed" in the strict, techri-
cal sense. They work long hours, at
arduous tasks, under terrible condi
tions, but they do not come within
the scope of the census reports.
No one knows the full strength of
the army of child slaves surely two
million or three million little ones,
probably many thousands more un-
counted.
Alarming as these figures are, they
are less alarming than the fact that
the evil of child slavery is increasing.
The latest report of the Pennsylvania
State Department of Labor reports
a great increase in the number OF
children in that state, which bears
the unenviablc distinction of employ
ing more children than any other.
In a single class of industries in one
state the increase was more than
1000 in one year and 10000 in eight
years.
In New York State the Depart
ment of Labor reports an increase OF
Emore than ten per cent in five years!
The Iowa State Federation of La
Dor reports that child labor in that
state has trebled in four years.

growing shame stalks right up to
your own threshold wherever you

MEMORIAL DAY.


Each recurring May is a reminder
of the dark days of the sixties. The
living to day, who were on the stage
of action forty-fve years ago. can
well recall those stirring momentous
times that thrilled the American peo-
pie, both the north and the south.
The music of fife and drum reverbe-
rated from every valley and hillside
in our land. 1t was then our homes
were tested to the utmost, sending
forth husbands, fathers and sons, and
leaving wives and daughters to care
for farm and shop, while they should
be Drawing the storms of battle
Those hcart-rending times vi hen grief
ran SO deep no utterance could lie
given, endearing embraces without a
word, partings with a signal only of
farewell. Truly those were stirring
times then that me tJry must ever
dwell on the sad and hallowed's cenes.
But with the fast feeting years how
we have outgrown them all, and It's
well, for life would be unified for
the duties that ever await it With
most, to-day the Civil war is hardly
a memory. A few whose wounds
were keenest may yet have the indel-
ible impression, and often recall the
trying days of the COS, but the lar
ger remnant SO seldom revert to them
they are quite forgotten. But may
we never SO far forget that as each
bright May of coming years we will
60 forth with the first blossoms OF
spring and strew the lowly grassy
tents where sleep our fallen brave
Bring flowers, bright flowers, with
dewey jewels Deset;
Scatter them freely, lest we forget;
And for centuries to come may we
hallow the day
BY bringing our flowers on the Both
of May.

Right here let us enter plea for
minister S children which some claim
are the worst children in existence.
Many seem to forget that the birth
,, right of these children is no freer
from the faint of sin than is that Of
other children, and if those who are
ever ready to point out imperfections
in the character of minister's chill
dren would read the history of the
human family, they will find that the
perfect children die before they are
old enough to become contaminated
by contact with the common progeny
of the race. AS a rule minister's
children are largely deprived of the
society ana guidance of their father,
while he is occupied in looking after
other peoples children and furn4 Oh
ing spiritual food to the church, and
when at home he is obliged to give
his time and thought to the prepare
ton of his sermons, if he is worthy
of the name Of minister AS quiet is
d requisite study these poor children
are often deprived of the rights and
their little sports are spoiled because
noise is a part of these sports. So
next to ministers wives we pity min
listers children, and wonder there
are not more bad ones.

MINISTER S WIVES.

In no profession does personal az
dress and individual popularity avail
for more than in that of the minister.
In no other profession or vocation
does mans domestic relations so
seriously affect his success. The ply
stefan may be thrice welded widow
er in quest of fourth twin soul, or
an exemplary benedict, and not lose
a patient as a result of these condi-
tions. The lawyers life lies wholly
within the walls of his office and the
courtroom. The merchants COM
mand custom according to the excel
lence of their wares and their clever
way of putting them on the market.
A tailor who gives perfect fit may
be ever so ignorant or disagreeable
he is sure of patronage. Even poor
unlettered Rachel Jackson could not
keep her husband out of the white
house, nor could fascinating Francis
Cleveland keep hers in it, yet min
ister' wife can mar his usefulness,
even to the utter destruction thereof.
The people have the whip-hand when
the pastor is married man, for let
him be ever so high strung he will
bear much criticism, even to fault
finding, before he will upset the wag
on that carries his wife and babies.
Many times the wife feels confident
that is her own inability to please
that leads to the trouble, and she
feels compelled to either neglect her
family or fail in meeting the various
demands whose fulfillment alone can
bring to her popularity. Do what
she may, let her be Saint, seraph or
diplomat; she cannot sustain him in
his position when the wind of chur-
chly favor veers.
A minister has little trouble in Sc
curing a wife, for as a rule ministers
are well educated, well hammered and
well dressed and their success in win
ming the fair sex is too patent to be
argued, aud how little the unsuspec-
ting victim realizes the grave respon-
sibilities which come with this ALI
ance. The young minister may be
ever so popular with bis. parish be-
fore marriage, but soos as ne in
stalls his new wife asElzfS3 fess of the
manse the complecsbn~& affairs is

be nothing mops than tff2id shadow
