4 NOBLE BAND OF WOMEN.

We often wonder II the people of
Marietta ALI the people, are fa-
miliar with the work that has been
done for the past three of four years
by those kind, sincere and noble
women who make up the 'Women's
Benevolent association. The assoei-
alton is composed of members from
all churches and creeds, who have
banded together to help relieve the
suffering among the poor and afflict-
ed. And their task has not been an
easy one, for their first rule is to
personally and carefully investigate
every call for aid, and those who
have not actually assisted in this
work can hardly appreciate what a
task that is, And when suffering Is
found, and the sufferer is needy,
their work is just started: for it is
o neof the rules of the association
not to merely give money--money
is never given, for the improvident
would likely waste it. They see
what is actually needed, whether
food. fuel, clothing or medicine, and
that is dispensed to meet the con-
ditions and according to the associa-
tons funds. And right here has
been one of the hardest tasks-reis-
ing the necessary funds to carry on
the work. Surely, If these good
women will give their time and SER
vice to dispense the necessities for
relief, the men and women of the
town, who are not Engaged in the
work, will raise the funds.
The association has asked a COM
mittee of men to help them raise
larger fund for the coming winter.
This committee will soon appeal to
you. DO not turn a deaf ear to the
appeal, Give as literally as you can,
for the calls of charity will be
greater this winter than ever be-
fore.

81. JAMES CHURCH news.


The congregation gathered for ina
Thanksgiving service on last Thurs
day. In the Book OF Common Prayer
the church appoints the first Thurs
day in Nov. to be observed as a Day
of Thanksgiving. except where the
civil authority appoints another day.
OF course such day is always ap-
pointed now, and il Is always the
fourth Thursday. There was a cele-
bration of the Holy Communion; and
and it was indeed an eucharistic SER
vice, a service of praise and thanks
giving. The offering was for Or
phans' home in Macon. About the
chaneel were piles of grain and fruit
AMI groceries. which were distribute
ed after service.
Last Sunday was the first in Adj
vent, the season which continues UNI
til 1t finds its elimination in Christ
mas. 1t is the season in memory of the
first Coming of the Christ, and 1t is
the season of preparation for the
next Great Coming, for we believe
that He shall come again to Judge
the Quick and the Dead" During
these four Sundays the LESSONS read
and the sermons preached will all
bear upon the Son of God become
the Son of Man, or upon the Second
Advent.
The appointed service on st. An
drew's Day, November Goth, was
omitted because the minister was
called to Gainesville to read the
burial service over the body of the
Rev. George L. L. Gordon. Many
will remember having seen him In
ST. James church. Elsewhere in this
paper will be found an account of
Mr. Gordon.
Those who helped to entertain the
members of the Methodist conference
enjoyed doing so, and all were pleas
ed to have Gospel message from
two of the ministers.
The Woman's Auxiliary will hold
it's regular meeting next Monday,
and 1t is expected that the Diocesan
President, Mrs. Pettygrew will be
present.
The rector of st. James preached
in st. James Baton Rouge on the
Sunday before Advent. He visited
a number of old friends in Louisiana.
The Synod of the Provine meet
ing in New Orleans elected Bishop
Nelson to be president for a period

THE EARTHQUAKE BELT

From the Providence Journal.
 The coincidence of an earthquake in northern Japan and the disastrous dis turbance in and about the Sea of Azov, southern Russia, suggests a connection, although the two points are many thou sand miles apart. It Is well known that when the earth trembles at one point the effect is transmitted to great distances. The shock which threw down Lisbon was alarmingly severe as far away as Great Britain and the Baltic. The Charleston catastrophe-the worse in this country un- til San Francisco's-was reflected to Can- ada~and far to the south and west.
 What is described as the earthquake belt, zone at one point or another of which quakes may be expected at pretty frequent intervals, follows around the earth from Japan across Asia Minor to the Mediterranean shores. and it's vaguely defined northern edge perhaps skirts the country, where the Sea of Azov lies. The reports from southern Russia increase In gravity. Fifteen hundred lives, instead or lOOo as at first reported, are said to have been lost in the hurricane that swept the shores of the Black and Azov seas, accompanied by tidal waves
 The earthquake in northern Japan is slgnihcant of general shakiness in that quarter. The famous volcano, Asama only go miles distant from Tokio, is reported In a state of eruption too. In January Sakurajima, situated in the extreme south blew it's head off It is suggested that Japan's mountainous backbone is ouiver- ing throughout its length, and from the many volcanic vents other discharges may be expected.

Trained Ants Revive Old Law

An almost forgotten provision of the law was recently unearthed when New York woman brought from Flu rope small colony of ants confined in glass case. In one sense of the word the display was an instructive toy designed to amuse and at the same time impart much information as to the habits and manners of the insect that was the object of Solo, mons special admiration.
 The colony was passed by the cus- toms officials without objection, but unfortunately for the New York lady her exhibit became so popular that its fame reached the ears of the entomol. ogical experts of the department ot agriculture and an investigation was ordered.
 The owner of the ants delivered them to the department representa- tives, thinking that they were to be subjected to an examination to de- termin their exemption from any con- tagious disease, but later she was in. formed to her great discontinue that her pets could under no circum-

THE ORIGINAL BLUEBEARD

From the New York Sun.
 Giles, Marquis da Laval and Marshal of France, was the original Bluebearl from whom the terror of our nursery lore descended. He was fearless general and greatly distinguished himself under Charles VT and Charles VII, but his bravery was completely eclipsed by his cruelty and wickedness. Wherever he went he was followed by his band of ac- tors. sorcerers, packs of hounds and crowds of retainers.
 It was said he would gain the love of young boys and then kill them in order to obtain their blood for incantations and charms. The Duke of Brittany, against whom he had committed crime of state, condemned him to be burned alive at the stake at Nantes. but later he took pity on him and remitted the sentence so that he was strangled before he was burned.
