m: \ ' [; - I , The Press and Banner, i ABBEVILLE, S.C. | Wednesday, Jan. 16, 1889.gj TIio Work of Prayer. The Week r>f Prayer appointed by tlie J i-> aiii?i<ouiV\v il... 1'tiili.il S?!it(-?; I and which wa< duly observed l>y our pontile, commenced Sunday, January titli and closed last Sunday night. The services were held, alternately. In the Metliodsit and Presbyterian churches?the opening sermon being preached by l?r. Wilson In the Methodist chnreh and the closing sermon In ihe Presbyterian church, by I lev. A. J. Can then. Presiding Elder ol the Cokesbury District. The programme, furnished by the Evangelical Alliance, was adhered to. The discussions, upon the various questions submitted were animated and stirring, and we believe the church has received an impetus for good that will be felt for some time to come. How impressively beautiful, to say the least, does the fraternal spirit seen in these meetings appear, where Christian people of different churches lay aside their differences for the time being, and meet upon a common platform, to talk of those things which, after nil, constitute that which is most vital to the church and most essential in the propagation of the gospel of the Son of God. Death of Mrs. SijTan. As we go to press, the sad news comes to this office, that Mrs. Syfan, wile of G. \V. Syfan, Sr., of our town, breathed her last at 11 o'clock Monday night. In her deatli the church and community have lost one of their best and mosi valued members. For a long while Mrs. Syfan had been a great, sufferer, but with remarkable Christian fortitude and indomitable energy she boro patiently her sufferings and prosecuted the duties in the bome. She leaves behind a husband and live sons, to whom many friends tender their deepest sympathy in this their hour ol trouble. The funeral service will be held in the Methodist church to-day. "Servant of God, well done thv lnvofl nmnlnv The battle's fought, the victory's won, Eater thy Master's joy." ? ?

Each one of us is bound to make tlie . little circle in which he lives better k. and happier; each of us is bound to see that out of that small circle the | widest good may flow; each of us may 1 have fixed in his mind the thought that out of ii single household may llow influences that shall stimulate the whole Commonwealth, and the whole civilized world. It has been observed that those are ' the fixed stars that tremble most. So | Christians, who are fixed immovably - in the unchangeable love of God, are as stars fixed to the heavens in their orbs; yet they are most of all in trepidation and trembling, when they reflect upon themselves, and think that, 5. instead of being stars in heaven, they might have been fire-brands in hell. me k * their business will ofhe next f DAYS e stock of TTHVfl AJIVU W) I SHOES, DRY GOODS, .ND HARNESS, Y, HARDWARE, AND GROCERIES, ices.

I know not the day nor the hour When Jesus shall come in His power, To take me away to His rest. To ever reside with the blest; But 11 I am ready to go, Joyfully I'll leave all below, For it will bo heaven for me To know that from sin I am free. I know not the day nor the hour When Jesus shall come in His power, To gather His dear ones all home, Where never they'll sorrow nor roam; But I shall be watching in prayer, That I may be ready to share His welcome revealed in that day, When all things on earth pass away. I know not the day nor the hour, But Jesus will come In His power, And take me away to His rest, To ever reside with the blest; Then with the redeemed from tho earthYea, from my splrlt'B heav'nly birth, The song of redemption I raise, And join in the anthems of praise. I'll patiently wait till the hour When Jesus shall come in His power, To take me away to His rest, To ever reside with the blest; Then happy with Jesus for aye, Where sorrow and sin pass away. Safe In those bright mansions of rest, I'll ever reside with the blest. ? Who does too much often does little. Better a lean^agreement than a fat lawsuit. No one can do nothing, and no one can do everything. Everybody must wear out one pair of fool's shoes, if he wear no more. Our wealth is often a snare to ourselves, and always a temptation to others. . We are first of all, in all our prayers, and in all our conduct, to have respect to God's glory. The seed of sacrifice brings forth the fragrant fruit of love, and love always has in its heart]the seed of new sacrifice. He who seldom thinks of heaven is not likely to get there; as the way to hit a mark is to keep the eye fixed upon it. If Christ, whose kingdom is not of this world, should be our pattern, we certainly should he plain, in dress and behavior. The serene, silent beauty of a holy life is the most powerful influence in the world, next to the might of the spirit of God. A more glorious victory can not be gained over another man than this: that when the injury begins on his part the kindness should begin on ours. There is more of power to sanctify, elevate, strengthen and cheer in the word Jesus (Jehovah-Saviour) than in all the utterances of man since the world began. There is not a weakness, there is not a sorrow, there is not a grievance, for which the love of God, as seen in the life and death of Christ, docs not offer some remedy. Some persons are capable of making great sacrifices, but few are capable of concealing how much the sacrifice has cost them; and it is this concealment that constitutes their value. Christian growth is knowing that man is nothing apart from God, and is redeemed by Christ from his own selfishness, that he may be strong in. the Lord and in the power of his might. The surest way to produce moral blindness is to neglect moral conviction. One who pursues this course will soon admire his own errors, credit his own lies, and take pleasure in his own wickedness. Humility does not consist in telling our faults, but in bearing to be told of them; in hearing them patiently, and even tnauKiuiiy; 111 correcting ouiselves when told; in not hating those who tell us of them. We are to keep the heart pure by keeping it in fellowship with Christ; to keep the tongue pure, by using it only for Christ; to keep the life pure by living in all things for Christ. In thought, word, feeling, action, we should aim at that purity which may | make us like Christ. ; Repairing a Broken Needle. There lived not very many years ago a short distance from the town of Beaver, which, by the way, is looking /& like a young bride just now in herbou- wMi doir of green hills, a man of extraordinary meanness. I don't think it ^0 would be unjust to say that he was a miser. Most of you would enjoy the A story more if I gave you his name. But I won't do it.' One day as he was starting out for ji Beaver to do his weekly shopping?for even he had to buy something for the .. support of his family?his wife came ^ out and asked him to buy her a darning needle. "What's the matter with the one I $j| bought you last winter?" "The eye's broken out," she replied. [it "Bring the needle here," said he, "I'm not going to allow any such ex- : travagance. I'll have the needle ,.f' mended." The woman was wise in her genera- , 'f$ tion, and made no protest. She ^w|S brought out the broken needle. The economical farmer rode into Beaver and stopped first of all at the blacksmith's shop. He took out the eedle and handed it to the blacksmith. "I want that mended," he vo. -rim The blacksmith knew his customer. ' and keeping his face perfectly straight -.M said that the eye should be made whole in an hour's time. The farmer SZ rode away and the blacksmith walked S33 across the street and bought a new -'M needle for a cent or two. When the farmer called again the v.-| blacksmith gave him the new needle. ' The farmer looked at the smooth, polished surface of the steel, and remarked that was a good job. "How much will it be?" said he. "Ten cents," said the blacksmith, | and the farmer as he paid it remarked - ^ that he knew that the needl9 could be V? mended, but his wife would h-vegone to the expense of buying a new one if . he hadn't interfered. : vj| Vessels Large and Small* Some years ago the pastor of a V*'v| church in a rural district of Missouri ;$jj shepherded a flock, some members of \ f which were in the habit of leaving the . house while he was yet in the middle of a discourse. This was an eyesore to -;||j the reverent incumbent, and when, < one day, a visiting brother volunteered to preach for him, he felt called upon Y.-:i to speak of the annoyance. V;$| "Oh, I'll stop that," was the reply. "I'll warrant you that no one leaves "-Ml until I'm done!" Accordingly, when he arose to speak he introduced his ser- $ mon with the following: "My friends, before I b$gin my sermon, I wish to make a few not irrelevant remarks. You all know that a M vessel when full is full, and to con- ^ tinue to pour into it is folly. Some $ vessels are capable of holding a great '<# deal, while others, again, are easily y$| filled. So it is, with men's heads, and it is possible that some of yours may ; become full before I'm through. If so, I want you to feel at perfect liberty to leave." The sermon lasted an hour and a quarter, but not a mortal stirred ! "Do you know," said a young man afterward, "I had a team of restless ;?i young horses outside, but I wouldn't |j have gone out to look after them for ;;:M $100!" The Granary of the World. Sir Samuel Baker tells th?.?f^o# Mall i Gazette that the Soudan is the of the world. He has ridden through districts where the corn grew high enough to cover an elephant. "When this region," lie says, "passes into civilized bands it will be the richest on the whole continent." There is a class of travelers' tales AS? which never ceases to fascinate the popular imagination. Explorers who return from the Blue mountains of Thibet or the river of Golden Sand, from the regions of Borneo head-hunters or the wild men of the Malay peuinsular, invariably announce that they have discovered "the granary of the world." Yet somehow the course of commerce is undisturb?d and the corn producing centers remain just where they were. "If," says Sir Samuel Baker, "the Soudan were in English hands, in a very few years you would be entirely iudependent of the United States both for cotton aud corn." Possibly. But, judging from the present rate of slaughter, we should say that before the Soudan is in English hands so many Englishmen will be killed that England nerseir win easily oe aoie to supply all the cotton aud corn that will be needed for the few who are left. What to Cultivate.?"Au unaffected, low, distinct, silver toned voice. "The art of pleasing those around you and seeming pleased with them and all they may do for you. "The charm of making little sacrifices quite naturally, as if of no account to yourself. "The habit of making allowances for the opinions, feelings, or prejudices of others. "An erect carriage?that is, a sound body. "A good memory for faces, and facts connected with them?thus avoiding giving offense through not recognizing or bowing to people, or saying to them what had best been left unsaid. "The art of listening without impatience to prosy talkers, and smiling at the twice-told tale or joke." The general average of the human pulse, though the exceptions are numerous, may be put at birth at one hundred and forty; two years, one d hundred ; from sixteen to nineteen, eighty; at manhood, seventy-six ; and old age, sixty.
