secular papers devote so little attention
to the churches and ^ive such
poor accounts of religious meetings,
Tbi- may be true of the great metropolitan
dailies, particularly those of
the "yellow" type, but it is not true
of many of the aailies in the smaller
cities and towns, aud it is especially
not true of the couuty papers. Oue
reason why they do not publish more
is probably because the information is
not accessible to them. Surely iu this
section of our laud the Churches rereive
good treatment at the haud of
of our newspapers. You can scarcely
pick up one without seeing some announcement
published without charge,
some report of a meeting, some reference
to the work of a congregation,
or some kind aiid complimentary
notice of a pastor. Our denomination
1 no rrinnlo rl v fnriinate. We
uoa uccu pen uvu.M. mj - ...
do not know of an account of our
Church courts that ever ^ut the papers
that was uot published. Our
constituency in auy given State is
. small yet the papers have passed that by
and inserted what was writteu. To
our congregation the local papers,
wherever publshed, are very kind indeed.
This true in all of the States.
Almost without exception wherever
we have a church iu a town where a
paper is published, that paper is complimentary
to our work and renders
invaluable assistance. It is constantly
saying a kind word about the pastor
and the progress of the Cbuch. Mauy
secular papers would render still more
aid if the pastors and Church people
would put themselves to a little trouble
to give the necessary information.
There so many hard places along the
road for most of us, made hard needlessly
by human selfishness, that the
longing to be kiud with a tender,
thoughtful, Christlike kind ness grows
stronger in me each day I live.
A steadfast purpose, diligently pur
sued, is the only pain 10 au UVCltuui
ing life.
We ought not to be weary of doing
little things for the love of God, who
regards not the greatness of the work,
but the love with which it is performed.
The kind of world one carries about
in one's self is the importaut thing;
and the world outside takes all its
grace color, and value from that.
Trust not nor lean upon a reed shaken
by the wind ; for that all tlesh is
grass, and all the glory thereof shall
wither away as the Jiower of the
lield.
The life that loves much, though
its sphere be limited by the four walls
of a humble home, is a large life. The
extent of our love is the only true
in easure of our life.

DEATH OF GEOKliE \V. SYi'AN, SR.
Mr George \V. Syfan, Sr., after many years i
of Intense suffering; died at bis home in this t
city last Monday morning at 2:15 o'clock June c
the 10, 1901, in the Slst year of his age, having c
on the 22ud, of last May closed his 80th, year. \
In all nis life God has been good and gra- .1
clous to him; many times preserved his lite t
almost mlracuiausly, besides sparing him C
even beyond his three score years and ten, 1
permitting him to see all of his children
grown to manhood and womanhood and able I
10 support and comfort, him In his declining I
years, which filial affection and devotion was 1
oeautlful to behold, especially as they gather- i
ed In the old homestead to pay their last trlb- I
ule of love and affection before his death. I
The deceased was iu many respects a remarkable
man, being one of the first and S
oldest engineers on the South Carolina rail- p
road where be served for a number of years. \
after which he came to Abbeville In 1852, and ?
was the faithful aud efficient engineer on the c
"Abbeville Branch" where he served with un- s
faltering trust and fidelity to the entire satis- o
faction of his employers for nearly 40 years, f!
during which lime not a single accident oc- t
curred through his negligence that brought J
the slightest iDjnry to any one of all the passengers
that traveled over the road. >
Ou several occasions, owing to defects in the ?
road, hls'engine Jumped the track, and once T
or twice turned completely over, causing b
painful injuries to htmsell, but was always d
stopped iu time to save his passengers.
Iu the discharge of his duties as engineer he t
seemed fully conscious of the great responsl- a
ollity devolving upon him, and was consider- p
ed by his employers, as well as by all wbo
knew him, to be one of the most reliable, tl
'iiretul and responsible engineer* in the.State, b
Indeed it was a recognised fact that every one tl
telt sale when "Uncle George Syfan" held the N
throttle.
After this long term of faithful service he F
left the road about ten years ago shattered in tl
health, aud with teebleslep, to travel through ?
his declining years, which have been spe .t in jji
pain and suffering until death came to his relief.
q
In all these years of toil and strife bis cbris- b
ttau carer wan none the less remarkable as b
he was "read aud known of all men," as a a
Irue christian; at all times wheu in health he (J
was laithtul In the discharge of his church
duties, and always a willing worker for his n
Lord arid Master. I
He wan OUIKJHy flcilool nupnuuuuHin lur m vi
uutuber 01 yearn, in which capacity he watt by li
the blessings of (iod, u "light and power" a
within himself, having at all times the inter- h
est of the "little ones" at heart ever pray 1 ng I
i?d working for their conversion, and dur- ii
Ing his time as suprientendant he hxd the
pleasure of seeing his eftorts crowned with
lUccesg in bringing many iambs into the
lold.
In this part of the Masters vineyard he was
a pronounced success, having the confluence
of all, und the love and esteem of olHcers, j
teachers and scholars.
In all his years of suffering and confinement
he was cheerful, never murmuring or complaining,
but like the great Apostle to the p
(Jentles, was ever ready aud willing to suffer,
as well as to do his Muster's will, and said
repeatedly that be was ready for the summons,
and ooly waited the will of his Lord.
One of lite mcst touchinaly beautiful Incidents
during these years of his illness was
the untirelng and self sacrificing devotion
and care bestowed upon blm by his faithful
and loving wire wno uever leu mm any or
night, but was ever ready with willing hands
HDd cheerful heart to minister to bis every
waut.
In his death Abbeville has lORt a true and
patriotic citizen, tbe church a valiant soldier
of the cross; tbe wile a devoted husband; the
sons and daughter a wise counselor, a loving I
and Indulgent father.
His funerel services were conducted Monday
afternoon in the Methodist church by
Rev. R. H. Jones, in the presence of a large ?
number of friends who thus paid their last k
tribute of esteem and respect for him thev r
'oved and honored In life. His six sons J. C.
Syfan, T. J. Syfan, G. W. Svfan. Jr.. M. B. Sy- J
lan, K. M. Syfan and Arthur Syfan acted as 1
pall-bearers. Afer tbe eouclu sion of services ^

ters strewed flowers on the new made grave,
while the family and friends turned away
with sorrowful hearts, and tear stained eyes. 1

Thiuk About It.
Almost every young uian likes the
idea of Home day "setting up business"
for himself. The foolish spendingsof
many a youth would, if wisely saved,
help to give him an independent start.
The following illustrates this point: A
New Orleans paper tells of a printer
who, whenever his feilowworkman at
the case went out to drink beer, put in
the savings bank the exact amouut he
would have spent if he had gone with
them to drink. He did this for five
years. He then looked at his bank account,
and found that he had laid up
$521.80. In five years he had not lost
a day because of sickness. Three out
of five of his fellow-workraeu had in
the meantime become drunkards.
The water-drinker then bought out the
printing ofl'ice, and in twenty years
from the time he began to put, asiue
his money, he had lain aside many
thousand dollars.

to see how many valuable things a rr
man can buy if he simply economizes
in little things.
"I once made up my mind I would ?
become the possessor of a gold watch. ?
I saved up the money in this way:
when I felt like eating a50-cent luncheon,
as I often did, I ate a 25-cent one '
instead and put the other quarter aside {{"
for my watch fund. You will hardly Pa
believe it, but in less thau six months w
I had saved money enough to purchase "y
the watch." au
"But you don't seem to have bought c0
It," said his friend, observing that
there were no outward signs of such ro

"Well no. I found out how easily I {j}j
could get along without 50-cent lunch- j
ea, I concluded I could get along with- Bl3
out thegold watch and the watch fund
is growing into a house and lot fund en
now."
