True Bravery.
Tn the heat of passion Robert hat
done something that he was ashamec
of and sorry for, after the exciteniem
had passed away.
"I wish I hadn't let my temper ge:
away with my good senses." he said
"butit's done, and what's done can'i
be undone.
"But isn't there a way to overcome
the etlect of wrong-doing, to a greal
extent?" asked a voice in his heart.
.in on
f now; iwurit.
"By owning to one's blame in th<
matter," answered the voice. "Con
leasing one's fault does much to sei
wrong right. Try it."
Now Robert was very much like
the rest of us? he hated to admit thai
he was in fault. "I'm wrong, forgive
me," is a hard tiling to say. But the
more he thought the matter over, thf
more he felt he ought to say just that,
"It's the right thing to do." he told
himself. If 1 know what's right and
don't do it, I'm a moral coward. I'l
do it."
So he went to the one he had wrong
ed and confessed his fault frankly, ani
the result was that the two boys wen
better friends than before, aud his com
rade had a greater respect for him be
cause he had been brave enough to di
a disagreeable tiling when it was pre
sented to him in the light of a duty
My boys remember that there's quiti
as much bravery in doing right fo
right's sake as there is in the perform
ance of grand aud heroic deeds tha
the world will hear about.
A man is frequently kuown by tin
company be keeps out of.
A wise man ouce saiil that in wouli
be impossible to conceiveof a more un
happy creature than an ill-natured per
son incapable of enjoying pleasure o
giving in to others.
It is a good thing to cultivate th
habit of readiness for emergencies
Call it presence of kind keeping you
wits about you, or wbat >ou will, jus
so you attain the real thing.

their drills and songs were especially attrac

success in every way.

THE SEVENTH DAY ADVENTISTS.
jitev. J. O. Johnston, of Greenville, S. C.. and
>rof. Sidney Bronsberger, of Cleveland,
,'tnn., last night commenced a serlea of meet- ,
nes In a tent on the graded school grounds. le;
These are ministers of the sect known as un
"he Seventh Day Adventlsts, members of w(
phlch aro found all over the country. tie
Kev. Dr. Johnston, when asked for aatate- mi
n jnt ot the beliefs, practices, strength and fui
vorks of his church, said: (
"This denomination took Its rh;e In the hU
ear 1S-1.*> In the New England States.and now Te
lumbers In this country about fllty t housand, otl
"Their educational work In tho United we
Utes consists of four colleges several acadeaies,
and industrial schools. They maintain
e?eral colleges In other countries. Their
ubllsblng work Is very extenshe. Tbey
wn the largest publishing house or the PaIflc
coast, and the largest one In the State of
llchlgan, besides a number of branch offices,
'bey also have publishing bouses In London,
Inc.. HrrIp. Switzerland. South Africa. A iir
rialia, and in other places.
' In Medical Missionary work they are very
ctive. At Battle Creek, Mich., they own the
irgest sanitarium In the world?another slmlar
Institution has recently been erected at
loulder, Col. Altogether they own and thir;en
Institutions of this kind Id the following
Duntrles outside of the United States:
wltzerland, Interior Africa, South Africa,
.ustraiia, Samoa and Raratunga Isiands In
aciflc.
"They have a medical college In Chicago
'here young Christian men and women of
II denominations who wish to engage in
ledlcal Missionary work, can receive a spelal
fitting up for this work.
"Their distinctive tenets are the observance
f the seventh day Sabbath according to the i
teral Interpretation of the fourth command- Ba
lent, and that the personal second coming of tec
esus Christ is close at hand. They do not /
>t the time, nor pretend to know the day or en
our when this event Bhall occur; but believe no
is very near. This is not simply a fancy att
1th them, but comes from a careful study of an
le prophecies of the Bible. They do not be- fro
eve that the soul is naturally immortal, but tor
lat immortality comes as a gift to those
nly who accept Christ as their Saviour."
The meetings will continue for several 1
ights. The tent has a seating capacity of tht
bout 350. od
Messrs. Johnston and Bronsberger are inilligent,
