Sunday at Lebanon.

EDITOR ABERDEEN WEEKLY
By 8 O'Clock Sunday morning a
buggy stopped at my gate, whose
driver is one of Monroe county
most efficient and popular officials
and one Of the most pleasant and
agreeable companions we ever went
anywhere with, who inquired if we
would go down to Lebanon to
church. | was very much inclined
that way, and of course was not
long in accepting the invitation, so
/ hurriedly donned my rags" and
we were off in few moments.
The drive was very pleasant and
ENJOYABLE, as we seemed to face the
cool morning breeze all the way to
our destination. where we found a
good congregation assembled, be-
sides the local Farmers Union out
enmasse.
The first worship Of the day was
the memorial service by the Union,
who paid their last tribute of love
and respect to three of their deGeas-
ed members, in songs, prayers and
short talks by some of the mem Der
ship. Especially interesting was the
Commute speech Of my friend and
host, NJ H. Stephens, who paid, in
beautiful words, the esteem and
love of their order to the memory
Of their dead. After placing flow
ers on the graves Of the dead, we re-
assem- bled for preaching by the Rev.
Givens, who came to assist the pas
tor in a revival meeting this week
Lebanon is a beautiful church To-
cation, about seven miles south of
A berdeen, and in the very heart Of
one of the best communities in the
county. After the benediction we
accepted an invitation to dinner
with Mr.. Stephens, where We en-
joYed the pleasant associaiont
and hospitality of Mr.. and Mrs.
Stephens. If you want to be treat
ed white" and get something
good to eat, just stop with mine host
and hostess, and you will be so ia
vorably impressed that you can
never forget them as long as you
live.
Charley Smith is one of the best
fellows you ever went anywhere
with, good company, liberal, re-
sourceful. and willing to give you
the best of everything until he gets
to the table, then your trouble be-
gins. He will eat, and deny it, and
never refuse anything offered him
at the table. He will swear that
the well water is the best he ever
drank, and that the scenery about
the premises is the most beautiful,
and the children the prettiest and
sweetest on earth. In fact, Charley
is an ideal travelling companion, a
self-saerificing. big-hearted fellow.
but O, how he eats away from home!

espoused, and the happiness OF
Rome appeared to hang on the event
of race. The same immodera te
ardor inspired their clamors and
their applause as often as they were
entertained with the hunting of
wild beasts and the various modes
of theatrical representation.
After the fall of Rome Spain was
the next nation TO rise to great
prominence. The discovery of the
New World with the immense
amounts of gold and silver drawn
from Mexico and Peru placed that
country at the head of nations. But
Spain has run her course of great
ness. and deprived by revolution
and war of the vastest aud richest
colonies on the globe she is fighting
desperately for her single outside
possession in North Africa.
Whether France, which under
Bonaparte dominated the European
world. will ever rise to such great
ness again must depend on the
possibility of ever finding another
such superlatively great leader,
but that is more than doubtful.
Great Britain Is now the dcmina-
ting European power, but the panic
which seized on her statesmen and
people at the sudden rise of Ger
many to maritime and manufacture
ing greatness seems to show that
the daring and intrepid men who
led her to the summit of naval
power and carried her conquests
and colonies around the world are
few and far between. The cream
of the manhood of every country is
destroyed in a constant succession
of bloody wars, leaving the control
of affairs to the weaker and less
worthy generations.
Whatever prospects might have
been left to Germany and Russia
are clouded by shadows of threat
ened revolutions. Science, SO
called" as the Apostle Paul terms
it. is turning the world away from
religion and moral responsibility,
and anarchism has declared war on
all law and social order. When
the war against property shall be-
gin cannot be stated, but it is i'm.
pending and the only nation OF
the globe in which property owner.

States. a real prophet is needed
