Every Road Leads to Jesus.

A young man just starting upon
his work in the ministry was one day
talking to an aged minister In Lon
don, who had spent a lifetime In the
service. The young man said, you
have a great deal of experience; you
know many things that I ought to
learn. Can't you give me advice to
carry with me In my new duties?.
Yes, 1 can," was the response. I
will give you a piece of advice. You
know that in every town in England,
no matter how small, in every ham
let, though it be hidden in the folds
Of the mountains or wrapped round
by the far-off sea, in every clump OF
farmhouses, you can find a road
which, if you will follow it, will take
you to London. Just SO every text
you shall choose to preach from the
Bible will have a road that leads to
Jesus. Be sure you find that road and
follow it; be careful not to miss 1t
once. This is my advice to you

The Soul Winners Equipment.

Be filled with the Spirit. (Eph. s:
49, This is the call to every Chris
tian to be filled with the Spirit. That
is what is needed to-day. Only
those who are filled with the Spirit
can be soul winners. To be filled
is the privilege of all. Christians
are known by their fruits. With
out Me ye can do nothing" Ono. 10:
81. 1t is as impossible to live the
Christian life without the Holy Spir-
it as to live natural life without air.
There must be an emptying of all
else before there can be a real filling.
Holiness must prevail. The little
sins if tolerated will hinder the Spir-
it from having full sway. This is
not only a privilege for every Chris
tan, but a duty; for it is a COM
mand: BE filled with the Spirit"

Cook Had q Shock.

In a North Side home the other

and the cook had a shock from which
she did not soon recover. 1t was the
cooks afternoon off, and when she
had finished her work, she turned
out the gas in the kitchen range, and
went away leaving the over door
atar. When she returned to get din
ner, she closed the door, and start
ed the fire. AS she went on with the
preparations for the meal, she heard
the cat crying, and looked every pos
sible Mace but in the oven to dis

Drawing Men.

The holiness of Christ did not awe
men away from Him, nor repel them.
1t inspired them with hope. 1t was
not that vulgar, unapproachable sane
tity which makes men awkward in its
presence, and stands aloof. Its pc
culiar characteristic was that it made
men enamored of goodness. 1t drew
all men unto Him" This is the diff
ference between greatness that is
first rate and greatness which is Sec
ond rate - between heavenly and
earthly goodness. The second rate
and earthly kind draws admiration
on itself. You say, How great an
act-how good a mani" The first
rate and the heavenly imparts itself
inspires a spirit.

mingling with heavy embroidery are

waist to hem.

HISTORICAL.

Conducted by Mrs. Harvey E. Jones J
 The Historian .akes much pleasure in presenting to the readers of her De- partment | sketch of Admiral Raphael Semmes by his brilliant and gifted daughter Mrs. Electra Semmes Colston Sketch of Admiral SemmeS aH Ehucn-
 Between the years 1s53-59, Raphael Semmes then commander U. N, spent part of his time at his country home, "Tiger Bend" on the Tombigbees river, near McIntosh's Bluff. During this time he was on duty as Light House Inspec- toy for several days during each month. and the intervals were spent at his quiet retreat, the home of his wife and six children. who were equally divided into boys and girls The neighbors owned plantations on the river and their country homes were in the same neighborhood as Tiger Bendi' and so scattered were .hese planters homes that as no public school existed, so the difficulty in the way Of maintaining q private school was very great.
 Under these circumstances Captain Semmes himself undertook the educa- ton of his children.
 In hIs family he was a strict discipi- marian, yet ever tempering justice with mercv His idea was that all corporal punishment should be administered to children under , years of age. That in those tender years, the habit of implic- it obedience should be formed. which once formed, grew, with their growth, and that personal chastisemtnt at an older age was degrading and deterio- rating. If there were any infractions of orders or petty disobedience, such had their own punishment; viz. from five to twenty-five lines of Lady of the Lake" or of 'Marmion." according to the heinousness of tte offense, and as these penalties were always rigidly eX- acted, most of these two poems were memorlzed by his children during our growing years, thus improving memory manners and our knowledge of the works of the Great Wizard of the North. As I have said our father be- came our teacher, arranging very care fully daily schedule. and at regular hours ''Peepipg School" with which nothing was allowed to interfere. ex- cept those intervals of his absence on official duty, to which have referred. On those occasions, the teaching au thority develvad upon the oldest Of the sons, who taught the younger children,
