w. C. T. u.

The members of the Woman's Chris
tian Temperance Union held mothers
meeting Friday afternoon of last week
which proved to be one of the best for
the entire year. The opening song,
"Work, for Night is Coming, was sug-
gestive of our work. The president read
scripture lesson in l Samuels, show
ing the mother love of Hannah. Mrs.
w. L. White offered spiritual prayer
from the mother heart and lips. The
business of the last meeting left for
thought and action was concluded. The
minutes were read and approved, after
which the meeting was turned over to
the leader, Mrs. Fitz Smith, who con-
Quoted same in a sweet, impressive man
ner. The subject of Wise Blindness
in Mothers" was read by Mrs. Smith
and freely talked over by all of the
mothers present, all agreeing that we
are often happier by seeming blind
ness to our little ones faults, providing
the faults are not grevious. The mother
must use her influence. The mother
stands at the very source Of life and de-
termines it's future course and charac-
ter. She it is who writes upon the new
born soul, and in letters as lasting as
eternity the alphabet of coming char
acter, the rudimentary principles which
determine whether life is to be COM
edy or tragedy. The-poet's song is but
the echo Of a mothers love flowing out
in sweet symphonies through the soul
of her child, and so her work is really
greater than that of the poet, since she
inspires the song. His best melodies
will soon be forgotten, but she tunes
the soul to endless harmonies and strikes
the keynote of eternity's anthem. The
mother awakens in the child's mind the
first thoughts, arouses its earliest emo
tons and kindles its initial desires, in
fact her very life flows into its life, so
that the child is but the echo of its
mother. If she be queen her son will
be prince; if she be slave the son
will be servant. All history attests
the fact that it is the mother who molds
and makes the man. The influence Of
a mother is the highest earthly factor
for veal or woe. Oh! Mother, thou in
carnation of all that is noblest and best
upon earth, second only to God in thy
position and power for good, well may
the world stand in thy presence with
uncovered head, awed by the grandeur
of thy mission, appalled, by the magni-
tude of thy responsibility )"
Teach those to whom God has given you
To touch not, taste not, handle not wine.
Though it doth CLEAN and shine,
Death will be thy lot.
So touch not taste not and handle not
The unclean thing.
The next meeting will be red letter
day, the birthday of Lady Henry Som
erset, and is called Fresh Air Mission
airy Day." This meeting will be held
August at the home of the president,
Mrs. Seid Waddell. Hours to 5 p. m,
Every member is urged to attend.

Eye on Crabtree.

A prominent and well posted East
Tennessee Democrat, speaking of the
race for the Democratic nomination for
Governor, made some interesting state
ments. He said:
Keep your eye on Ex-Mayor Crab
tree, Of Chattanooga. In his campaign
for Governor he has not made much
noise, but his vote in the primary will
be big surprise. He has made some
speeches, but he has principally used
the mails to get his platform directly
to the people.
Col Crabtree is not supported by
any machine politicians, great daily
newspapers or representatives of big
business or special interests. He relies
for his nomination upon the unselfsh
Democrats of the State who have no
axes to grind.
AS Mayor of Chattanooga he was
diligent, efficient and faithful to the in
terest of the people. He stood for law
enforcement. He insisted upon the
application of business methods in city
government, and during his two years
in office vetoed more than forty obiec-
tionable measures.
His mail one day this week brought
over eight hundred letters from Demo-
Gratis in every county in the State con-
tanning ardent assurances of support.
Mark my words-Crabtree Is the strong
man in the race"

A Fine Picture.

"A Flne lCture.
The Gem gave its patrons peek at
Martin Chuzzlewit Monday night, a
special production in pictures. Dickens
was a humorist, but he had another
quality. He was never sparing in sar-
casm. The story came after his first
visit to America, and the description of
Eden was his tribute to the Continent.
The locality has been fixed in the vcin-
ity of Cairo, Ill. Little probably he
knew of that town, but the stigmatism
seems to have been rooted to the spot.
Dickens return to this country some
years afterward gave him altogether a
different impression and he was not
slow in admitting it. Tom Pinch was
one of the immortals. So was Peck
sniff, but the difference was immeasur-
able. Pupil and teacher they were, but
Pecksniff, the charlatan, was discov-
cred, and Pinch suffered his first dis
trust of human nature. The story fur
nishes variety of incidents and charac-
tiers, but the leading thought is directed
to the hypocrite in comparison with the
highest type of character. One. the
dissembler incarnate, is Pecksniff, the
other is Pinch. The book embraces the
passing of Pinch from Pecksniff's es-
Enlistment, the shattering of his idol;
his unrequited love, the adventures
Of Martin and Mark Tapley; the re-
turn-Martin to his sweetheart, Mark
to Mrs. Lupin's; the meeting of Yves
ton and Ruth; but leavening the story
and lifting it high above the common
place is the character of Pinch. So in
comparison is the fall of Pecksniff to
his level. The reproduction was an
achievement in the picture field.@

Missionary Society,

The Missionary Society met Monday
afternoon at the Meth odist Church and
was of unusual interest, Mrs. Miles
presiding. The feature of the after
noon were three very delightful origi-
nal papers contributed and read by

ferior associations, little minds enlarged
by coming in contact with noble ones.
Our society does not promise much,
but to all the ladies of the church we
extend most cordial invitation to meet
with us one hour every Monday after
noon. Our aim is to benefit ourselves
aud others, offering our mite to Him
who is pleased if we give cup of cold
water in His name. The 6nattainable
is beyond us. but good cheer and SYM
pathy we can give, thus solving life's
hardest problems.
