that gives salvation. for. the Master Himself said -eRl,
 And this Is life eternal that they may know thee, the only living and true God. and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent"
 Knowledge takes one out of the realm of belief and creed, and through knowledge he obtains power, and bears the fruit of the spirit. and does the things that the Master stated that all those should do who followed Him. We are indeed to partake of the nature of the Lord Jesus Christ in order that we may have life
 In answer to Mir. Browns question:: "ls not the difference between Seeker After Truth and the churches really this-that he is magnifying the practi- cal Christian life, while ignoring the revealed doctrines (teachings) of Christ on which it rests, while the churches are preaching the whole counsel of Christ ?'' I would say that Seeker After Truth is magnifying the practical Christian life. and that is the important thing to magnify. for the fruits come from the practical Chris tian life. He does not, however, ignore the revealed teachings of Christ but accepts them all. If by following the teachings of the Master one comes into oneness of life with Him and with tine Father, then the fruits are the result.

GOING UP STAIRS.

The correct healthful way to mount stairs is as follows:
 L Place the ball of one foot on the step, raise the heel of the other foot, carrying it inward so that it is in line with the heel of the foot in front.
 ?. At the same time raise the body by transferring the weight to the ball of the foot already on the stair. The relative positions of all the different parts of the body are precisely the same as in walking on a level surface, head up, chest up and out, arms hang ing free from the shoulder blades.
 To dc--1 stairs the movements arc the same.
 L Body erect, point the toe down ward, heel turned inward,s
 ?. Touch the step, sinking gradual lY, lightly upon the ball of that foot, at the same time carrying the weight to it by raising the heel of the foot on the stair above, swinging the heel in ward on the toe as q pivot. as in mounting stairs.
 Keep the heels in line all the time Spreading the feet is not only aWk- ward but unrefned. Swaying also is awkward and unnecessary, Practice rising on the toes and sinking on the knees, slowly rising again. It will help make the ankle muscles flexible so that the little pivot movement can be done freely.

GETTING RESULTS IN SOUTH.

One of the great underta kings in the south which has been underway for some time Ut is growing in strength each year. is the education of the ne gro. This hats been one of the great needs. It is as important for the fu ture of that section and the country that attention should be given to the better1rent of the colored race as to the education and, adYanc cement of the whites
 It is as view ed by the Charleston News. and Courier that The negro is here and he'e to stay for a long time to come, whatever changes in our population the tides of white inn migration may ultimately effect. The question is as to whether we are to allow the masses of negro boys and negro girls to grow up with 8 smat- tering of book learning or whether we are going to provide them for useful .:citizenship There is scarcely a negro | boy or girl in south Carolina ten years 5of age who csgn not read and write. but Iihow many of them are receiving in f telligent instruction in morals or in wage earning? Is it any wonder if under present conslitions complaints of
 the shiftbessness of negro labor in crease?
 Education is bound to he the sal vation of the south. It has large prob lens in overcoming the illiteracy of
 the nation bHt>it cannot contribute too much to the important matter of de- | velouing the negro for profitable cit izenship. He is bound to be a steady fac4or in the life of those states and the higher the standard to which he can be brought the better and faster will be the upbu1ding of the south. It | is through education rather than neg lect that results will be obtained.

 The Master here very clearly states what the fruits will be of those that follow Him, Can Mr. Brown say that he is manifeSting these fruits, that he is doing these works, thus manifesting the power that the Master promised to all those who believe in Him and are baptized by the Holy Spirit? These fruits are the test whether one be- lieves or does not believe IT one claims to believe who does not mani fest the fruits, there is but one con- clusion to reach, and that Is. that he does not believe.
 Mir. Brown stateSi
 christianity is a system of doctrines as well as a life And, just as mani festly, the life is based on the doc trines."
 Creeds, dogmas and doctrines are all creations of man, and life cannot be based upon mans creations. Truth is the creation of God; therefore, life must be based upon truth. for God is life; God is love; God is truth. The Master said:
 T am the Way. the Truth. and the Life"
 There is no life in creeds, dogmas or doctrines Life only is in God. As the Apostle Paul puts it:
 Tn Him we live and move and have our being" and he says also that He is All and in All"
 Mir, Brown says:
 Even Seeker After Truth has a creed. and on that creed bases certain rules of life. His creed is that Jesus of Nazareth is LeFd and Christ and Master, and because he believe that. he believes that We should do certain good works that the Master inculcat- ed"
 AIr Brown maaes a mistake in glv ing this as my creed. Webster $ den- nition of creed is A definite summary of what is believed" Belief does not give life; belief simply leads to know ledge. and it is through Knowledge that We are saved My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge" is the declaration of the prophet. The Apostle Paul says; T know whom have believed" It is this knowledge of Ged and of Jesus Christ, His Son.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

MT. Editor: Mir Brown in his letter in reply to the letter by Seeker After Truth wishes to know how Seeker would prove his statements. My statements were made from actual knowledge and not from hearsay, and the best proof that could be given is that of the Great Master when He said
 By their fruits ye shall know them
 The Lord Jesus Christ made very clear what the fruits would be of those who believe in Him and follow Him. In His last great command which He gave to His disciples for all time, He said:
 Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to the whole creation. And these signs (works) shall follow them that believe; in my name shall they cast cut devils; they shall speak with new tangues. they shall take up ser=

Late in the winter old beets are so tough and pithy as to be unpleasant, besides which objection there is the further one of their taking so long to cook until approximately tender.

the spot which so often is torn. even on comparatively new goods. An excellent way to finish armholes in fine lingerie blouse is to sew the sleeves in by machine. then button hole around the edges with either a coarse thread or soft floss.
 A new fancy Is to have white wash petticoats Of pique or poplin closely fitted to the figure and finished around the bottomb edge with em- ] broidered seallops. Such a skirt is daintier less expensive and more durable than those made of silk and is worn with tailored suits and close ly fitting light weight wool dresses. To put sleeves in correctly put the under arm seam of the sleeve just the length of your second finger ahead of the under seam of the waist. This is an easy way and they are always in the right place.
