Tonic: "Sones Of the Heart ri. How God Leads
Men" (Consecration Meeting.) Psalm xiii
1t makes all the difference in the world
to the sheep what kind Of a. shepherd
they have. Any creature dependent upon
the care Of another feels the difference
between caretakers. Take the little ca
nary In your home. The servant who
sometimes forgets to fill the tiny water
cup, or give the portion of seed, has it in
her power to make that little yellow life
very unhappy. But when the little girl
who loves it and owns it ia kes care of 1t,
the little feathery fellow gets his daily
bath, his tender lettuce leaf, or sugar
lump. and many gentle words besides,
which he appreciates in answering chirp
and song.
Well for the sheep that can boast a
good shepherd: one who cares for the
needs Of the sheep. and not for himself to
save himself. or who guards against dan
gers and, instead Of fleeing when they
come protects his sheep: one who knows
where to find the greenest grass and the
freshest gurgling brook. and does not hest
tate to lead the sheep thereto. even
though It does mean a long tramp over
the hills.
There are sometimes hired shepherds
who make the interests Of their sheep
their own but more often when dangers
come they nee because he is an hireling,"
the Bible says. and 1t is really nothing to
him, except his salary. whether the sheep
are saved or not. But what II the Lord
the owner. be the shepherd! In this case
the word lord conveys all that and more;
it has the sense of creator also. The one
who made the sheep and owns them and
loves them-He Himself is the shepherd.
We have grown so accustomed 10 read
ing this twenty-third psalm, that it
brings little freshness to our minds, and

QUESTIONS ANSWERED.

Any person may send any biblical ques-
ton to DR.. Gilbert. 1903 r street. this city,
and receive an answer through The Star.
346.-What constituted the ark OF the
covenant?
Answer-See the account Of the ark
given In Exodus xxv.1O-22.
347.-what was the hardest place for
Jesus to work in?
Answer-The New Testament gives no
comparison concerning the difficulties en-
countered by our Lord during his minis
try. or his feelings on account of those
difficulties Presumably he met most OPP
position in Jerusalem. where at last he
was condemned to death.
34S-Is It conceivable that finite be-
ing can commit an offense. or live such
life as to merit eternal torture?
Answer.-The word torture Is too strong
and highly improper to denote the retrf-
button of the wicked beyond the grave.
Substitute for that word another that
conveys the Scriptural idea OF future pun
ishment, not so much an innlction as
difficulty will disappear. 1t should be re-
membered also that justice Is meted out
at the Judgment after infinite mercy has
exhausted all its resources to reclaim the
impenitent sinner. Heb:. xxii,Zo)
349.-If Jesus were perfect man and per-
feet God, 1t was the man part that sur
fered. not the God part. then how could
the sacrifice of a mere man atone Tor all
humanity?
Answer.-The question springs out OF
several serious errors IN doctrine: f!rse.
the nature of Christ: second. the nature
of the atonement made by him: third. the
relation between sacrifice and atonement.
This is only one out Of many popular
misconceptions concerning the funda-
mentals of the Christian system. which.
while full of mystery, are quite readily ac-
cepted with much comfort when under
stood. The inquiry is proof that the peo-
pie of our time actually need doctrinai

Fatal Wreck Caused by Boys.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 23.-Train No
38 on the Southern railway, known
as the Southwestern limited train
which left Atlanta shortly after noon
to-day, was wrecked four miles
north of Suwanee, Ga, about 8
O'Clock this afternoon. The colored
fireman, Mason Watkins, was killed
instantly and the engineer, B. F.
Dewberry of Atlanta, both being
pinned underneath the engine after
it left the track and turned over.
Dewberry died later. The mail car,
baggage can and combination car also
left the track and turned over, roll
ing down a 15-foot embankment.
The mail clerks escaped with mi
nor bruises. None of the passengers
were injured.
Just previous to the trains COM
ing three small boys were seen run
ming away from the scene. An in
vestigation after the wreck devel-
oped the fact that a bolt had been
placed on the track and the fight of
the boys leads to the belief that, in
a spirit of mischief, they may have
placed the bolt in such a position as
to cause the train to jump the track.
The sheriff and railroad officers are
now at work on the case.

Crops Almost Ruined.

Charlotte, N. c., Aug. 26-1ndica-
tions point to excessive damage to
the cotton crop by the unprecedent-
ed rainfall, which has continued
without cessation since Sunday, and
it is probable that lowland corn Is
entirely ruined. One grower esti-
mates the damage to cotton at 20
per cent. tonight, though stating
that is impossible at this time to
form anything like a correct esti-
mate. Most of the cotton has turn
ed yellow, which means that If the
hot sunshine succeeds the rainy spell
soon cotton will burn up on the
stalk. Another menace is rot, which
will ensue certainly If the rains con-
tinue longer. Train service in the
south is cut off, nearly all trestles
having been washed away and the
few that have withstood the raging
waters are being held down by load
ed freight trains. Water in the Ca
tawba river has reached the 26-foot
level and the power house and mills
along it's banks have suffered heavy
damage.

LEPER HELD PRISONER.
John b. Early, of Lynch, N. c., AT
flicted With Dread Disease.

Washington, Aug. 23.-John R.
Early, a leper, is held prisoner in a
tent at an isolated spot in the out
skirts of this city.
Early arrived in Washington ten
days ago and was discovered to be
suffering from the disease while liv-
ing at a Salvation Army lodging
house on Friday.
The health department officers
have written to the authorities of
North Carolina to obtain permission
to remove the leper to Lynn, N. c.,
his home. The public health and
marine hospitable services are coop
Grating with the local authorities.
If the North Carolina authorities
refuse to take care of Early he prob
ably will be sent to the leper colony
in Louisiana.
Early has a wife and child, moth
er, two sisters and a brother living
in Lynn, N. c., whence he came to
Washington to attend to his pen
sion. He served in the army for
nearly nine years and is supposed to
have contracted the fatal disease in
the Philippines.
Early is 35 years old and the
health officers say he has had the
disease for over year. In that
time he has been employed in va
rious stores and mills and was ac-
lively engaged in Salvation Army
work in numerous cities in New
York State. Among the places in
which he has lived since he was dis
charged from the army at Platts-
burg, N. Y, in November, 1906, are
Winchester, a suburb Of Boston,
Mass; Troy, Granville and Oswego,
N. Y. At the last two places the
symptoms of leprosy first became
pronounced. From Oswego he went
to Canton, N. c., in May Of this year
and was employed in pulp mill en-
ploying 500 hands. Later he went
to Lynn, whence he came to Wash
ington.

For uncontested State Offices there
were two counties missing, but the
total vote as otherwise tabulated
was:
For lieutenant governor, Mcleod,
98,761; for state treasurer, Jen-
nings, 1OO,153; for attorney general,
Lyon, 1861; for secretary of State,
McCown, 98,361. -.
The two counties which did not
report on uncontested offices were
Lancaster and Chesterfield. Attor-
ney general Lyon was scratched in
several counties, notably at Fort Mill
in York county and at Beaufort.
There was a close vote for COVER
nor in Pickens, but the official vote
shows that Ansel carried this by IL
