Prayer is the wing wherewith the soul ibes to heaven and meditation the eye whoewith we see God.-AM BROSE. A Personal Statement From the Editor. j As inquiries are being received from different parts of the county, Concerning my physical condition, I feel that I owe it to my friends to give out; a statement as to the na irne, and extent of my recent indis position. On Thursday afternoon, January 12th, I was seized with an acute at tack of vertigo, which lasted una bated for more than a week. Afyer . studying my case very closely, e?rly in my illness ray physioi&? accurate ly diagnosed the trcabjej as being ll caused by my eyes* and advised'my, ll consulting a specialist, 'as quicj?^/ . practicaba I was! carrieclj r M Coramina. Hospital on, J the ary the 20th. ?he spoc&F -y Janu ?xam?nation, susta;;^- -st after an in his diagnpsjf^' r my physician my left ese."\*fV -id advised that r-~<-^7^n^??i?|.' -ch had been sightless ?telyV?y .r of years, be immedi uoved, so as to check the J- pathetic inflammation in my _ight eye, which had already made alarming progress. The specialist expressedhimself in such pessimis tic terms after making the examina tion that I was led to believe for a time that I would spend my remain ih?r^years in darkness. The operation of removing the left eye was performed the day after I reached the hospital, and very soon thereafter, my right eye the sight of which was greatly impaired, gave evidence of decided improvement. Only one who has experienced this transition from impending darkness to renewed light can form any idea of the unspeakable joy that came to me as I caught this new vision of life. - Soon after the operation, the spe cialist examined my right eye and after seeing its improved condition, assured me that it will ultimately be restored to its normal condition. uuuuj i.m?.if i i'T "'-*''*'ft<**T ^-'"?1-j able from day to day, bears out his encouraging statement. After spending a week at the hospital, I returned home, where prudence has since forced me to pass the time in absolute idleness. Although stren uous and at times very grinding is . the life of the country editor, yet as I dictate these lines for publica tion, I yearn for th.? return of the day and hour when unhampered I can resume my regular work on The Advertiser. I can not conclude this statement without expressing my profound and sincere gratitude to my friends of the< town and county for their kindly interest and sympathy which has been so generously bestowed during tho past weeks. I have been deeply touched by their; earnest so ' licitudev May the Great Physician \ -who has brought me safely through this trying ordeal likewise guide ;j and guard them through the vicissi tudes of life. While my sight is being gradually restored, it will yet be several weeks before I can enter upon my regula* duties. ' J. L. Mims. PARKSVILLE NEWS. The union meeting of the 3rd di vision of the Edgefield association ; met with thc Modoc church yester-. day, and day before, agreeable to appointment, and we had a great meeting. On Saturday the.queries were discussed, the one eliciting the " most interest being: "What should be our attitude as Christians to ward lawnessness?" The other quer ies were of interese, and were dis cussed by brethren: J C Harvely, O O Timmerman, L G Bell, H E Bunch, W R Legat, and many oth ers. Sunday morning the Sunday school exercises were in the hands .of the superintendent,brother Harvc ley, which proved to be a"vecy in structive exercise, the bible- eliass .being taught by Mfs. Nafestadt* very consecrated and efficient wo 'man. .. At 11:30 o'clock, the missionary Sermon w.hich was to have been preached by Bro. L. J?. White,, was, by motion of brother White, preach ed by the Rev. Mr. Stoudemire of the Barnwell association,, who was visiting our union in the interest of ] one of his churches. Mr. Stoude . mire-preached a very lucid and ten der sernion from the words:'' She hath done what she could." Thc eollection, in all, amounted to $18.66. The point was made, that since the organization of this union a little over a year ago ?150.00 had been raised for missions, making an average of a little over 817.00 -for each meeting. Sunday afternoon was devoted to B. Y. P. U. work and most excel lent papers were read by Mrs. Ma-j mio Walker on^*'What our union should do this year?" by Miss Wei i.ona Strom on "Our young people) and their moral obligation- to their communities." Prof. Maxie. G.j rr" i tm ?ka White, tlie brilliant and consecrated yeuug teacher of the Plum Branch high school, delivered & most thoughtful and appropriate address on the subject: why not discontinue our B. Y. P. U. work. ? At the close of the meeting,, a motion was made, and unanimously adopted,requesting the paper'of Mite Weinona Strom for publication in The Edgefield Advertiser anet the '. B. Y. P.
