With the MethOdlStS.

1t was our privilege on last Sunday
evening to worship with the Metho-
dists Of Farmville. The church build
" Of itself is an inspiration, the mu-
sic soul stirring; good sister OF
another denomination recently re-
marked in our presence, "All Metho-
dists can sing" and the prayer of
that venerable man Of God, Rev. Mr..
Littleton, a benediction.
The pastor occupied the pulpit and
had as his subject, "Man's suiliciency
is of Cod In the treatment OF this
theme he brought IN striking contrast
the philosophy Of Greece with the
teachings Of the Bible, the one safe
and sure guide book Of life, and closed
with an earnest appeal to the young
women and young men Of the con-
gregatiOn TO study the scripture.
From such mount of privilege Farm
Vile should descend to the work OF
every day life with fresh courage, bet
ter thoughts aud brighter hopes.

Where the Sermons Come From.

Rev. Mr.. Fugate dropped into our
sanctum recently and his visit was a
most enjoyable one to us. Discussing
the subject OF sermons we ventured
the remark that with the Bible to
draw from the preacher could never
be at a loss for a subject, and in re-
nlv he mentioned an eminent divine
who said that at times he searched III
vain from Genesis to Revelations with
ont finding the text TO suit him and
that he went across the street to an
old cobbler and got him to tell him over
his religious experience. Returning
to his study he opened his Bible to
find every verse upon which his eyes
fell suggestive of just the sermon he
wanted to preach. In this connection
we are reminded Of what we read re-
Gently of what one Of the leading
preachers Of Lynchburg said on the
subject Of sermons.
Everything he said, had gotten to
be made easy in this age except the
making OF sermons. He added that
If his father, who was great preach
er In his day, should enter his library
crowded with books, he would say
surely with such help you can IND
no difficulty in preparing your ser
mons, and yet the living preacher con
fessed that the work was harder and
harder. 1t would tighten the task II
he too would cross the street and talk
with the cobbler, or visit the factory
and hold cOnvere with the workers.
or call at the office Of the perpleXed
business man, or go out on the iaTm
and sneak to the sons Of toll there.
The Bible is indispensable, books are
blessings but the touch Of a human
hand, the throb Of a human hear
would give more meaning to the boob
OF books and to all good books. Tit
preacher who shuts himself in his
study shuts the world out. The com
mand Is to go out that you may brlnl
them i'm.

A Laughing Entertainment.

That was a laugh-provOking and
altogether unique entertainment which
was given by Misses Wilson and
Whitsitt, of Richmond, ia the lecture
room OF the Methodist Church on last
Friday evening. Some one has said
that "manner is eloquence" and when
we listen to the real orator or the ex-
pressive reader we are impressed with
the truth Of the saying.
These young ladies catching the
full meaning Of the genuine spirit
Of the authors from which they quot
ed, gave TO the printed words the
charm and cheer Of their own good
humor and fun. The "Buying Eel
Ter" to the "Literary Nightmare
kept their audience at high pitch OF
enthusiasm and sent everybody home
still laughing and commencing the
evenings entertainment.
Such refreshing rest-spOts along
life's way are Of genuine soul value
and our regret is that they are not
more thickly dotted on the pathway
we travel.

Training For LIES Work.

In the age In which we live TO go on
record as being opposed TO the train
ing received in schools, colleges and
universities would be TO confess to
ones ignorance or ones madness.
And yet ii is subject Of genuine graft
fication TO know that many Of the
most useful and efficient men to be
found in the business walks Of life are
those whose backs never rubbed
against college walls, and who have
no diploma introduction TO the scenes
Of their activities.
Commercial law Is not all taught in
the commercial schools. Patrick
Henry studied law but four months
and then stepped at one bound TO
front rank in the profession, and there
were giants at the bar In his day,
while in the farming world the men
who are feeding the world may have
never listened to lecture on the sub
jet of farming nor turned a page in
chemistry. These things are written
not in derogation Of the schools, but
in gratitude to the giver Of all good
who eDdowing man with the capacity
Of "making many books" opened
wide before all men natures great
volumes out Of which things new and
old have been learned from creations

The New vs.. the Old Again.

In last weeks Herald we had some
thing to say Of the new method OF
farming in contrast with the old, and
now we have a word to say on the
subject Of the new methods Of teach
ing in contrast with the old.
In the primary schools Of by gone
children sat on backless benches
or three-legged stools and were given
hours to learn, and woe TO the boy OF
girl who failed to know the lesson
when called. In the higher schools
and in the colleges, latin, greek,
mathematics, some philosophy and a
bit Of chemistry commanded attention
morn, noon and night. But now
from kindergarten to graduation hour
training in our schools is frightened
by many pleasant and helpful diver
sions from the harder problems OF
student life.

WHY Colds are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordin-
ary colds and recovered from them
without treatment Of any kind, do not
for moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh nave
their origin in a common cold. Con-
sumption is not caused by cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development OF the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same win
ali infectious diseases. Diptheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whoopinng
cough are much more likely 10 be
contracted when the child has cold.
You will see from this that more real
danger turks in cold than In any
other OF the common ailments. Inc
easiest and quickest way to cure colo
is to take Chamberlain Cough Rem
edy. The many remarkable cures Ell
fected by this preparation have MADE
il a staple article Of trade over large
part Of the world. For sale by WIN
