POWER OF EXAMPLE.

The Hon. William e. Gladstone,
England's grand old man, scholar and
statesman, was fond of telling the fol-
lowing story on himself, which illus
trates the power of example:
Il was very little fellow" he says,
still wearing kits, when | was one
day favored with an invitation to dine
with Lord Beaconsfeld. Just as
was ready to start to my friends
home, father placed his hand on my
head caressingly, and said: My son,
be good, and when at Lord Beacons-
fields board, observe closely, and do
exactly as he does. l promised to
obey my fathers instructions. There
were a number of other guests at that
dinner that memorable day, but paid
little attention to any one except my
host. l watched his every movement
closely bent on keeping my promise
to my father.
"All the guests had been served,
when Lord Beaconsfield looked up
from his plate, and sneezed several
times. I too, looked up from my
plate, and made a great effort to
sneeze several times. No comment
was made, and the dinner went on
without interruption, until Lord Bea-
consfield said: A beastly draft has
given me a cold,' and asked his valet
to close the door that was open near
his lordship
All this time was keeping an eye
on Lord Beaconsfield's movements and
repeated his words: "A beastly draft
has given me a cold;' and then I gave
orders to the valet to close the door.
I shall never forget the astonished
looks of the guests at that dinner
party. Lord Beaconsfeld froWned and
gave me a searching look that made
me SILVER. Then in a stern voice he
asked: William, are you hooking me?'
stammered out: No, your 1ordship.'
We'll then, William, l want you to
explain your conduct I was just
obeying my father, sir" replied. He
told me to do exactly like you
Lord Beaconsfeld and his guests
laughed heartily. Then he remarked:
I have this day been taught an exam
pie lesson-always refrain from doing
what I would not have others do To
me he gave this advice: William, my
boy, never, never do anything because
other people do it, unless you are GER
tain it is right and well-pIeasing in the
sight of your heavenly Father

FATHERS CLUBS.

SO much is said and read these days
about mothers clubs that it seems al
most that fathers are a forgotten prob
lem in the home; that children are
Well-lessoned in the art of getting
along with their mothers, while the
somewhat more strenuous one, that of
putting up with and enduring fathers
has fallen into desuetude. They and
all who read the papers know the pit
falls surrounding the children of these
before-the-public mothers; all know
what they must be taught and must
not, how they must be disciplined,
how they must not be kept in limo
cence but must be inoculated early
with a knowledge of evil and how
their feeble strength must be aided in
giving that old-fashioned tree of for
hidden fruit good shake or two. The
mothers, clever creatures, helped by
childless and unmarried women who
are of value because each had a
mother, organize, then meet, then hold
conventions of which quarreling, cleo
tioneering, nominating, more election
eering and electing are large part,
and then the future destinies of the
race are settled. The children are
cleverer than their mothers and know
their own value. They know, too, that
fathers have nothing to say. There are
sporadic cases where a fathers
opinion is regarded and where a COM
mand-an infraction of the tender
rights of child-to stop that noise,
to go to bed at once, to get up in
short order, may be heard and obeyed.
But those cases are rare. The duty Of
the father is done when the bills are
paid; he is an unimportant factor in
the bringing up of children, and the
children know it.
The remedy lies in club. Organize
this is usually done in clubs femin-
inc by one or at most tWo-then meet
and talk and hold conventions and so
on. Then the children will grow
wiser, even, than they now are and
will soon learn the art of managing
their fathers as we'll as their mothers.
Talk about women's rights! Go to
a mothers club and learn.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR.
WHEN ROY WAS SEVEN.

Frisk could hardly keep still
minute, and he jumped and barked at
Roy who usually was ready for race
or frolic; but this morning he just sat
on the top step with his elbows on his
knees and his little round chin buried
in his hands. Once when Frisk stuck
his black nose on Roy's face, he tasted
something salty.
Yes, Roy was most crying. Of
course, when a persona boy person
is seven, he doesn't cry, even if the
tears do spill over.
After Frisk had tried for about the
twentieth time to coax Roy to run a
race with him, he decided it was no
use, and so crawled under Roy's arm
and lay still.
1T would be all right" Roy told him,
IF I didn't have birthday"
Birthdays always are such lovely
times at least every one had been
that Roy could remember, but this
was his birthday, and he was so mis-
able.
When mother persons got sick and
had to be kept quiet, grandpa's was
and Roy was usually as happy as the
day was long.
Where else was there such a dear
grandma and grandpa? And where
such fine barn to play in, and such a
cunning little dog as Frisk? And
didn't father write that mother was
getting stronger every day?
Roy told himself that he ought to be
'shamed to feel mis- able, even if
mother had promised him birthday
party, and now he would have to wait
whole year for another birthday.
When grandpa came up from the
barn he saw Roy sitting on the top
step and Frisk under his arm, and he
wondered what could make them SO
quiet.
I'm afraid that Roy is feeling a
little homesick,' he told grandma.
BLESS his little heart! I do believe
there is something the trouble"
grandma said when she looked out of
the window.
Roy did not mean to say one word
about it, for hadn't mother said that
he must be her own sunny boy all the
time, and try and make grandma and
grandpa happy, and didn't they do
lots of things so that he would have
good time? Roy did not mean to feel
badly-only a birthday party when
one will never be seven again
Grandma put her arms tightly
around him and it just told itself!
Then grandma said that if any one
wanted raspberry pie enough to get
the raspberries-and Roy ran to get
the pail, for he loved raspberry pie,
and he and Frisk went down to the big
field to get some berries.
saThat dear child is going to have a
party this very day." declared grand
ma. Then she did lot of telephoning,
and grandpa chopped ice and they
made a big freezer full of ice cream,
and had it all packed away before
Roy came back with pail of berries.
After dinner grandpa hitched Duke
and Billy into the big wagon. Roy
ran and got his hat, for grandpa never

went to ride without him, and he
dearly loved to ride with grandpa; he
usually let him drive part of the way
Roy wondered why grandpa did not
say:
II wish I knew of some little boy
who would like ride" or something
like that and he stood right by the
wheel all ready to go. When grandpa
got in, he said:
take good care of grandma" and
drove away just as if he did not know
that Roy wanted to go.
1t did seem as if it was no use
being seven. Roy thought that if he
were a grandpa and knew that boy
wanted to go to ride, when he was
not going to have party, too, he
would just take him and not ride off
alone.
Grandma was busy in the house, and
Frisk had tired himself out chasing
butterflies and did not want to play
Roy wandered around a while and
finally tumbled in a disconso1ate little
heap into hammock.
A few minutes afterward grandma
came out to rest on the piazza and
saw him there fast asleep; and he
slept until Duke and Billy came
trotting into the yard with the big
wagon just full of boys and girls.
While the wagon was being I'M
loaded, grandma told Roy that this
was to be his birthday party
why do they dress alike?" he
asked her. Are they all twins?"
'They are little folks who have no
mother or father, and they all live in
a big home where kind people take
care of them" grandma told him.
Nov make them have a good time,
for they do not have parties often"
Grandpa had them all tell Roy their
names, and then told them to run and
play. They were shy at first, but Roy
and Frisk were so glad to see them
and Roy thought of so many nice
things to play that they soon forgot
their shyness, and how much fun they
had! They played hide-and-seek in
the big barn, and rolled in the sweet
hay; they ran all over the farm, and
old Tiger, the big gander, chased them
away from the pond.
Grandpa put up number of swings,
and then he gave each one ride on
big Billy's back; they thought this was
great fun, for none of them had ever
been on horseback before
When the afternoon was over,
grandma had them sit down on the
soft grass, and they had sandwiches
and cakes and ice cream until they
could not eat another bite.
Grandpa gave Roy basket, and told
him to give each boy top and a
game and each girl a nice doll all
dressed.
1t was had to tell which was hap.
pier, Roy or the rest of the party.
Afterwards they all went to get the
COWS, and when they were MIXED and
each one had drank a glass of the
foaming rich milk, grandpa packed
packed them all into the big wagon
again, and then he said:
well, we'll! it won't do to go with
such a big load and come back with.
out any one, and if you youngsters
think you can squeeze Roy in there
Grandpa had to hold the littlest one
on his knee in order to make room, but
they were all so happy that they did
not care if it was not very com
Portable.
When grandma tucked Roy into bed
that night, he said it was the best
birthday he had ever known, and he
gave grandma such a bear-hug that

THE BLESSED VIRGINS INFLU-
ENCE ON CIVILIZATION.

For her, my Queen, tune the Tyre
BY mother taught to love her beads;
| never of her praise shall tire,
AS honoring her to Jesus leads.
In Ewes curse she had no share;
Yet, twas her lot more woes to bear;
Since, as new Mother of our race,
She brought us forth to lives of grace.
Words fail to fittingly portray
The full extent of Mary's sway;
Through Her the baron, serf or hind
Apace grew softened and refined.
No woman would they touch or vex
Arrayed in homespun or in lace;
In each one of the weaker sex
They saw reflected Mary's face.
This earth was clad in brighter hue:
For arms men bore the Rosary,
Which proved a constant missionary:
IT made masters kind and servants
true.
Retainers thence on land and main
No more, like slaves, with gives were
Wrung:
They loyalty to their masters chung,
Held firm to Mary's slender chain.
Since God to save us stopped to earth,
And from a woman took His birth,
She who pinned long as tool and thrall
Through Mary reigns as queen of all.

WHEN WE SAY WE ARE SORRY

How few Of us are really sorry for
sorry for consequences? But we say
we are sorry It was a mean thing
you said about your neighbor. When
gossip whispered it in her ear, you
were sorry. You summoned your
courage, mustered your womanliness,
and asked her pardon. Then you
fitted your head to a new halo and
thought yourself saint.
But you thought an even meaner
thing about her than you said and
you never felt a twinge of sorrow
about that.
You did her an injustice and you
never repented of it because she never
knew it.
So many of us veneer our piety and
try to pass it off as solid mahogany.
We are not content with trying to fool
others, but we stupidity try to fool
ourselves. We join the great con-
gregation in repeating forgive us our
trespasses," and then fancy that We
thus wipe out the past as easily as
the schoolboys sponge wipes from the
slate the problem in which he has dis
covered a mistake.
Our religion teaches us that some
where in the mysterious future there
is a dark closet in which all disobedi-
ence will be punished. So often it is
the thought of the sin which gives the
voice a little more pleading and
pathos as we say forgive us our
trespasses." We gather our frightened
sobs and forced prayers and label
them repentance and faith.
When the heart looks upon the
loved face of one whom it would give
the world to arouse from the long
sleep to catch the sobbing whisper:
I'm so sorry" then this is true re-
pentance which puts to shame the
veneered pretense whose only pur-
pose is to win favor or avoid penalty.

Gives Information.

1t was stated in the Greenville News
of Monday that Thurston U. Vaughn,
the self-confessed rapist, had given the
information that ex-Sheriff J. D. Gill
reath, inspector of police; ex-Jailor A.
A. Phillips, of the city police. and
Reuben Gosnell, a magistrates con-
stable, had assisted him in his escape
from Jail last June. With this informa-
tion o. K. Mauldin, of Greenville, be-
came prosecutor, and the three gentle
men named were arrested, but liber-
ated on 81 900 bond each. Of course, the
three men claim to be innocent of any
connection with the escape of Vaughn.
Bsing prominent citizens Of GreenVlile,
the charge and their arrest created
something of sensation. The speci-
fc charge in the indictment is that
these men "did aid and assist one T. u.
Vaughn to escape from the GreenVille
county JAIL" Mr.. Mauldin, in his state
ment, says that it was with great re-
luctance that he permitted himself to
be connected with the case, and it was
only after he had been convinced OF
the absolute guilt Of Mr.. Gilreath and
the other defendants, that he took his
stand. He says he has no interest or
malice in the case, beyond a sincere
desire to see that justice is meted out.

Vaughn, former superintendent OF the
South Carolina Odd Fellows orphan
age, assistant superintendent of the
largest Sunday school in the city and
teacher of a college for girls Bible

testimony they will offer no one knows

AS a whole, the testimony offered is
unprintable. A general characterize

The Orphan Home.
At the afternoon session on Thurs

Crabtree, of the Orphan Home, at
Salem, Va, reviewed the work of the

institution now needs another build

ton of the church, he said, there was
always generous response. He said
that out of thirty names of those sent

hundred per cent had made good.

Sermon by Rev. E. w. Leslie.
The following in regard to the SER
mon. of the Rev. E. w. Leslie On Fri
day morning is from the Columbia
State:
One of the features OF synod is the
high order of sermons delivered before
the body. Every one has been strong
and to the point. The Synod has be-
gun it's work every day By listening to
2O-minute sermon. This morning the
sermon was preached by Rev. e. w.
Leslie, pastor of Grace church, Pros
perity. His subject was "The Grow
ing Christian" based on 1 Cor. 1911:
when I became man l put away
childish things" He made the point
that as a child is not a man, man
ought not to be child. AS one grows
in years of Christian service, he
should put away childish things. Some
childish things to be put away are:
Not taking a serious view of life and
it's duties; not taking a broad view
of the world and its needs; to want
another to perform any good and diff
icult task. He cited Jonah as one
who was childish man, who wanted
some other to do his work. In conclu-
sion he told Synod how the Christian
is to grow. He said that the body
grows by feeding, and that the mind
and soul must be fed and exercised.
The. spiritual food is the word of God
and the Lords Supper. The exercises
should be taking part in all the causes
Of the church Of Christ.
