there was no home, no home life.
In conclusion the speaker drew q
beautiful picture Of the home of the
old south, not the home of the rich
planter, but the typical, average home
of the country. He said this was the
home that gave the great men.
This the home OF right living, of love,
where the grim shadow of divorce
never entered. John Howard Payne
went far into the south, lived in the
typical southern home and loved a
southern girl, before he wrote the i'm.

DYER TALKS ON MENACE
OF THE CITY TO THE HOME
Continued from First Page.)

1t had come to the pass where court
/, ship is spoken of lightly, engagement
| are entered into as a joke and mar
| riages are frequently no more than 6
vulgar show. Now the economic ides
| is given first consideration and Brad
| street has taken the place of Cupid
| in the old days marriages were said
to be made in heaven. Now few think
that. All these things tend to in
crease divorces.
Turning then to the effect the city
has in the disintegration of the home,
the speakers first took the home in
.a1 g., ,..iy. He showed how every
member of the country household got
life life from the home and not from
the outside. The home furnishes
abundant work, the members of the
household are in close relationship
and are drawn more closely together
with the passing years. Husband and
wife love one another and divorces
are uncommon. In the days of boy
hood divorced person was curiosity
in the country sections of the south.
Take the home in the large city to-
day, There is no isolation. The wife
goes where she pleases, and does pref
ty much as she pleases. She gets her
life outside of her home and not with :
in it. The women of the rich do not
have to work; they are simply out for
a good time, and as children would
interfere with good time she did
lot want any children. In the end the
word home becomes meaningless, hus-
,aEd and wife become dissatisfied and
livorce follows In many instances.
The middle class, trying to ape the
PEOPLE of the class above them, live

will have more time for enjoyment and

many people Of this class, who by
ecessity or for other reasons are
orced to board, and he did not mean
y this that there were not many

ouses and doing all they could to
lake them home-like, but a boarding I
ouse was not home, and when a I

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The Sen.
ate today passed the urgent deficiency
bill An item OF $1,000 for the re-
moval of snow from Washington
streets gave opportunity for several
Senators to protest against what Mr..
Smith, of Michigan, called "the dis.
graceful spectacle" snow Ice and dirt
presented in the national capital dur

The appropriation OF $4,000 for
the elimination of the foot and mouth
disease in cattle was stricken out on
motion of Senator Hale, who desired
to put that paragraph in conference
for examination, as he said that only
100000 had been expended for that
purpose.

SERVICE SUNDAY NIGHT.
Prof. r. II. Peoples, of Franklin, On
IdeaIistic Man.

Prof r. H. Peoples, of Franklin
was the speaker at night and delivered
an eloquent and instructive discourse
before large and deeply interested
congregation. Prof, People took as a
subject "Dreamers of dreams and see
ers of Visions"
He handled this subject with refer
ence to the idealistic man. He said
this is practical age, but the word
practical bears several interpretations.
In this day and age as in the past
Dreamers and Seeers of Visions are at
the foundation of the world, and It is
from them that great moral reform,
all the great Industrial and financial
improvements have their being. While
this Is true, 1t Is also true that the
world does not give credit until later
years, perhaps until after the hand of
death has been laid on the men whose
lives and work meant so much to civ
ilization.
But not only must man be a |
dreamer of dreams; he must have
faith, faith to work to the end for the |
accomplishment of his visions, faith |
to defend his ideas from the scoffers
and the manhood to work and fight |
through every encouragement. He
must be man who would give his
life for the consummation of his Wis
ons.

ABLE DISCOURSE

EMINENT DIVINE breaches A
GREAT SERMON TO LARGE Az
DiENcE AT NJ. (. CHURCH.
DOING THE WILL OF TREaFATHER
Service Sunday Morning Initial Meet
ing of Laymen's Institute 70
Continue For Week.

To one OF the largest audiences that
ever gathered in Columbia to hear a
sermon Bishop +. Z. HOss, on Sunday
morning preached at the First Meth
odist church most eloquent, powerful
and spiritual discourse. This service
was the beginning of the Laymen's In
stitute, which is now in progress at
the Methodist church and will con-
tinue for a week Great interest W.
manifested in the sermon of Bishop
Hoss not only by the members of his
own denomination but by people of
other churches. Every seat in the
spacious auditorium was taken and
numbers of chairs were utilized. Then
there were a number who did not find
seats. Rapt attention was accorded
the speaker during the fifty-five min
utes that he spoke and his sermon was
universally pronounced one of the
greatest deliverances ever heard in
Columbia pulpit
Bishop Hoss took for his text Mat
thew 7-21, mot every one that saith
unto me, Lord, Lord shall enter into
the Kingdom of heaven; but he that
doeth the will of my father which is
in heaven" In the course of his SER |
mon Bishop Hoss used many other |
extracts from the notable sermon on
the Mount to illustrate the truth of
lhs lesson aught In the text.
The theme of the Bishops discourse
was that the Christian life was life
1f service and not one of mere pro-
fession, that a tree is judged by its
fruit The highest and noblest life
in the world is a life of service to the
cause of the master. Every man. he
said, must give himself wholly to the
cause of his Christ There is no such
thing as tolerably good Christian
no more than there can be tolerably
good egg. OF course some men attain
4 higher degree of service than others
out all must strive to do their very
pest all the time. The highest way is
he only way for the Christian man or
woman, eloquently exclaimed the emil
lent divine.
Bishop Hoss spoke pathetically and
With great human sympathy of the
railty of mankind. He said he did
lot believe that any man even from
he hour of conversion had lived
,erfect life, but that the man who
lways strives earnestly and with
devotion to live right is
ure of the tender compassion and
of the Heavenly Father.
Tod is always ready to stoop down and
lex up in his loving arms his children
tho fall, Bishop Hoss eloquently il
estrated his sermon with touching Ii
experiences of the Christian life. s

BRISTOL. Tenn, Jan. 22.-The vic
tory Of The statewide prohibition
movement in Tennessee will give an
impetus to the movement in Virginia
and a meeting OF the Anti-Saloon
League will be held in Norfolk early
next month 10 decide whether or not
statewide prohibition movement will
be launched before the next general
assembly.
The Old Dominion has of late made
rapid strides. Lynchburg and Roa-
noke, two of her largest cities, have
just abolished saloons by decisive ma
jorities for prohibition, while the
whisky traffic is on the retreat all
over the state. Richmond is prepar-
ing for a local option election, and
it is believed that before the next leg
islature meets, next January, the State
will be ripe for "a statewide prohibit
ton campaign. The temperance peo-
pie win probably control the legisla-
ture and the only question now is
whether sentiment in Norfolk and an
other city or two in the state, still
wet is ripe for prohibition.
The next legislature is practically
certain to abolish the several dis
pensaries in the state and repeal the
law, even If it does not
pass a general prohibitory law.
The race for the governorship is
now on and the successor of Gov.
Claude A. Swanson will be elected
this year Nearly all of the aspirants
for the nomination are avowed prohi
oitionists. Judge William H. Mann, !
who now seems to be in the lead, is
1ne of the original prohibitionists of
he state, and has made more tenn

ic man in the state, having taken |
