OUR EXCHANGES
The Kershaw Era.

1t was a very gracious act on
the part of the railroads in South
Carolina to announce that they
will transport Confederate veter-
ans free to and from the State
Fair. Sometimes the railroads
get accused of being soulless
corporations, but occasionally
some event transpires in their
experience which indicates that
they are not altogether soulless
and we take pleasure in calling
attention thereto in this instance
and add a word of commenda-
ton for this fine consideration
shown the old Vets. We believe
the old fellows of the SOS will
appreciate it.

A Neglected Bible

A neglected Bible means a
starved and strengthless spirit;
a comfortless heart; a barren life;
and a grieved Holy Ghost. If
the people, who are now perpet-
ually running about to meetings
for crumbs of help and comfort,
would only stay at home and
search their Bibles there would
be more happiness in the Church,
and more blessing in the world.
1t is pTosaic counsel; but 1t is
true.-F. B. Meyer.

Giving Is Getting

Giving is getting. This prin-
ciple is true IN many departments
|of life. Bodily strength comes
from its expenditure, not from
Its boarding. Every wise use of
a muscle adds to the power of
that muscle. An arm carried in
a sling for its preservation stiff
fens and withers. An arm which
swings a great hammer takes on
largeness and vigor with every
generous sweep through the air.
1t IS use, not the possession OF
any material treasure. that gives
ii the highest value. Merely to
have it bears no comparison in
pleasureableness with its right
employment. Well-fllled library
shelves are of no benefit to their
owner SO long as the books re-
main there unopened. But the
best volume on those shelves
would have an added value to
its user if it were "read to pieces"
as one might say. Money gath
cred and kept for its own sake
increases the discomfort and
cravings of Its holder; while mo-
ney sought and handled for its
heneficent uses gives pleasure
and satisfaction to him who en-,

We are born for a higher des-

been making for the enforcement

crime IN South Carolina. One
of the men in this community
who has watched his course with
high satisfaction, said yesterday:
Il do not think anything that
could be said in approval of
Governor Harvey's course would
be extravagant. For the first
time in years the Law has found
voice and the people rejoice. I
did not think he would do it; but
he has done it. The fact that he
has kept his oath of office. that
he has not thought of what effect
his official course might have on
his political future, would sug-
gest that a legislative or constitu-
tlona! provision, providing that
no Governor of South Carolina
should be eligible to more than
one term in that office.
Such a provision would make

ferent to whatever clamor might
be made by spiritual advisors, de.

WITH THE POETS
Autumn

Western winds of autumn, signing
Long and low beneath the trees,
Where the tinted leaves are lying,
Scarcely rustled by the breeze.
Friend of sorrow! bring thy balming
To the weary sons of strife,
Lay thy quiet hand of calming
On the fevered pulse of life.
Golden autumn, how I love theel
With thy low, deep, mellow song,
Chanting round, beneath, above me.
Lessons thou hast taught me long;
Lessons of the hearts submission,
Breathing out holy calm,
Solemn chords of soul-contrition
Blending into one deep psalm.
Teaching that in life's great myst'ry
There is autumn time for me,
Where its dim, perplexing hist'ry
Merges into melody;
Bright the blooms of hope supernal
Youths weethours before me spread
Fragrance that I dreamed eternal
Round my feet their petals shed.
And no more weep, and wonder
How all loss evolveth gain,
Though 1ife's hollow echoes thunder
To the chaos ofmy pain;
Meath Gods autumn winds of sorro,
Lies the promise of His spring!
Hope shall find in that glad morrow
Bright, eternal blossoming.

Keeping the Heart

If we are 10 keep our hearts
with all diligence, we must be
kept by the power of God and
that power is not merely to make
division outside the beleagured
fortress which may force the be-
seigers to retreat and give up
their effort, but is to enter in and
possess the soul which it wills to
defend. 1t is when the enemy
sees that new succors have, in
some mysterious way, been in
troduced, that he gives up his
seige. 1t IS God in us that is our
security.--Alexander Mssssen.
