How fretful we sometimes feel when
we are hungry! A baked potato viii
produce such change in us that we
hardly know ourselves. The toothache
has been known to transform in hall
an hour a saint into a sinner. How
quickly will music calm an angry
child.
"The trifles of our daily lives,
The common things scarce worth
recall,
Whereof no visible trace survives,
These are the mainsprings, after all.
Destiny is not without thee, but
within,
ThWsef must make thysef.''
All these facts only show what a
powerful influence little things may
have over us Our lives are made up
of nom nts and the character of eacn
moment depends upon the influence
of that moment; and it requires but
very small influence to change the
character of moment.

No one is sick at present. We
should rejoice over this.
The crops are in a fairly good
shape if the rain does continue.
If you had heard what We did to-
day, brother, you would pay UP your
debts, for / know you have one, and
that one is with God. Will you stop
and think a moment and see how
much you owe him?
We are proud to say that we had
a fine day last Saturday, June q,
if it did look like rain. There were
more people there than could get in
the house.
AS we announced in last weeks is
sue of the News that Rev. Wayne
Sutton of Florence, was going to be
with us on Saturday and Sunday,
we got what we went after. and he
got what we carried, for the Lord.
Brother Sutton gave a striking lit
tie sermon to a good crowd on Sat
urday afternoon, and on Sunday morn
ing the pastor opened with the Sum-
day school and then after the Sunday
school he heated things up with a
pray ermeeting and song service, and
in the meantime Brother Ware and
Rev. Estus Steen came to enjoy the
feast with us. The pastor turned
over the song service to Mr. Ware.
Brother Ware is a very fine sing
ing school teacher. Any. community
would receive a blessing to have
him to teach school.
Now things were turned over to
Brother Sutton, and he surely showed
to any sensible person his whole
duty to God. He showed that God
was going to collect the back taxes
as Writ Adams collects the back
taxes for the State. The Bible says

Panama an Object Lesson.
Medical News.

Medical News.
The building of the Panama Canal
and the sanitary record Of the Japa-
nese in their war with Russia are two
great object lessons of recent years,
demonstrating that men can neither
work or fight to the best advantage
unless protected from infectious and
preventable diseases.
The civilized nation which will here
after put am army in the field or I'M
dertake a great engineering problem
without first preparing the way by
adequate sanitary engineering and
equipment will be regarded by other
nations as quite as foolish as q gov
eminent which would build a vast
fleet of modern warsnips and then
arm them with muzzle-loadins ord
nance of 10C years ago.
An epidemic of typhoid fever in
military camp should be considered a
greater disgrace to any army than
defeat in battle, since defeat may
come in spite of the greatest ex-
ertions and the highest wisdom,
while typhoid and yellow fever would
be the result of ignorance or disre-
gard of we'll known laws of proven
t3on. s All nations will profit by the
sanitary lesson of the Panama Canal.
The source of yellow fever, against
which the French struggle in vain,
has not been seen here since May
1906, although it exists at several
points to the north and south of the
Canal Zone. Bubonic plague has not
appeared since August, 1905, b1t that
disease also has broken out not far
away. No cose of smallpox has been
reported during the year.

The scenes attending recent exc.

have been a painful remi nder of the
Reign Of Terror 10 that country.
The singing OF rihal1 songs, gleeful

indicate that the old passions are
still distinct. The recent experiences

TIE PRESS ASSOCIATION.

ne meeting of the Press Association in
CoYlngton may be of great benefit to us in
more ways than one. It will in manner
sl IL US to nearly ever section of the
0.a1e, ana as we have impressed the indi-
Vldual member, so will these impressions
pe reproduced in. the various communities
represented.
AS rough exterior frequently covers an
honest heart, we hope the members and
guests OF the association have discovered
tnat the hand of welcome has a deeper
meaning than gala-day decorations and dis
play OF badges The thought of decorations
was merged in the desire to do something
tnat would give entertainment and happi-
ness to the visitors, hence the arrival of the
trains caught us unprepared in visible prep
aratlons Tor entertainment, the Elks being
the only place bearing outside decorations
Of signs OF welcome. But if there were no
outward demonstrations, we were not unpre-
pared 10 give our guests a pleasant time; and
II expressions of appreciation are to be relied
upon there will be some very nice things said
of us.
But there is lesson to be learned on this
occasion that may prove of great benefit in
the future.
The number of guests to be entertained
IN TINS instance was comparatively small,
yet the experiences arising in their reception
and entertainment will be valuable aid
IN the avoidance of mistakes on future occa-
slons. This is our first effort in the way of
pubic entertainment, and,we hope that our
mlstakes.W will be covered up by our endeavor
TO give the Press Association very good
time.
