Fifteen millions of copies of the Scriptures, chiefly Testaments and Gospels, and in some cases smaller portions of the Word of God, seems to be an almost Incredible quantity, and yet it approximates the number of copies which have been circulated by the Scripture Gift Mission since tho European war began. What they have meant to the sol diers and sailors eternity alono will reveal, but there is no doubt that thousands and thousands of men will be in glory as a direct result of perus ing the Word af God, and without human aid, which has made them wise unto sulvatlon. lt is, in fact, the only bright spot In the war, and lu order to prove this, and to seek to create a prayerful interest In the work of Hie Mission, this article ls written. The Mission is not a new organiza tion, but was founded thirty years ago with the aim of placing the Word of God In an attractively illustrated form in the hands of men of all na tions. The Illustrations used are all pictures of Palestine life, and no re presentations of our blessed Lord. They are now Issued lu 9 0 different languages, and the method adopted by the society ls to make free grants to missions of all denominations, so that they have gratuitously the Bread of Life for the hungry multitudes, which they give to those who desire them, Since the war broke out, the So ciety has largely confined Its efforts to the belligerent nations, and won derful open doors have been present ed to the society; In fact, we believe Buch as have never been presented to any society before, and there ls a re ceptiveness shown by the soldiers and sailors, not only the British, bu* also all the other nations, that the Society feels that tho opportunity should be grasped while the doors are still open. Is this not also a responsibility con nected with the opening of the doors; and we who know and love the sacred page-are we not bound to give them to eat? Ono day bo*h sower and reaper will rejoice together. Do the men desire the Scriptures, and do they read them? A lad in Gallipoli a ad a Testament given to him oy the Scripture Gift Mission on leaving for the front. It was the only copy in his trench, and he was constantly being asked for the loan of his book, so much so that lt was rarely In his possession. He asked his comrades whether they really wanted to read God's Word, because if so ho would cut the book up In pieces, so that they could exchange the pages among themselves. This was done, and the soldier writing I home of tho Incident asked for suf- j ficient Testaments so that he might supply all his comrades with a copy. This was done, and it shows how much the men who are facing death momentarily feel their need of the only Book which can show them how to be prepared for the life to come. How Impossible it would be to send enough Christian workers out to the front, yet the Word itself does the work. See yonder officer going his round amongst the trenches; he conies across a young soldier reading a Gospel of John. The officer said "You don't believe in that Book, do you?" "Yes," replied the soldier, "I do believe in that Book, firstly be cause lt has been the means of sav ing my soul: secondly because it bas taken away all fear of death; and thirdly, sir, when 1 read Ibis blessed Book, tho Lord graciously encour ages me and feeds my soul with the Heavenly manna found In lt." The olllcer had no reply KQ make, and passed on. Hardly bad he taken two steps when a shell burst near, and turning around he saw the young sol dier's head roll off. It was such a shock lo him that ho went over to where the quivering body lay, picked up the Gospel and took it into his "dugout" and began reading lt. He was through it so convinced of his need of a Saviour that he there and then yielded himself to Christ. He wrote home to his wife, told her of his conversion In simple language and through God's grace she, too, was saved and their three grown-up daughters as well. "My word shall not return unto me void." Another case showing the power of the Word will bo of Interest. A young lady anxious to get a parcel off to her sweetheart at the front went to a shop In tho north of London, Eng land, to buy some comforts. The grocer suggested that ho might be able to nack the parcel better than she could Sho consented to his do ing BO, and he slipped Inside a little portion ol .' rlpturo entitled "Tho Soldiers' and Sailors' Armour In .Peace and War." It ls a booklet of some U6 pages entirely in the words of Holy Scripture with about a dozen hymns at the end. The parcel safely reached Its destination. Tho soldier writing to his fiancee, thanked her for it, making special mention of the little booklet enclosed. The young lady, rather indignant, went to tho grocer to find out what lt was he had placed inside, and on seeing a copy was satisfied. Tho sequel is touch Recommended by ? Doctor Cothram Dr. T, E.

Accopt no substitute. ? lng: The soldier, who was one of the worst characters of the regiment, was truly converted to God by reading tills booklet, and into his life came the radical change. He could not keep the good news to himself, but was constantly speaking to others of his newly-found Saviour and singing the hymns at the end of the book. His comrades nicknamed him "Sing ing Jim." Later, there was an en gagement botween the two lines of trenches, and a lad was wounded. Volunteers were asked to fetch the poor fellow In and "Singing Jim" of fered. He had got over to the wound ed lad when a star-shell burst over head, revealing their position. A sniper shot, and the bullet went through "Singing Jim's" brain. Some one else went over to get tho wounded lad and also the dead body. In "Singing Jim's" pocket was found a long letter written to his sweet heart, telling her how the little book had ben tho means of his conversion. Said the wounded soldier: "Please let me have that letter, as, If I should get better, I will take It to the young lady and toll her how 'Singing Jim' laid down his life for me." He was true to his word, and found out the lady and gave her the letter. It was a touching interview. Before leaving, hts comrades had asked him, when he returned to bring with him enough books so that they each one might have a copy of the book that had made such a change in "Singing Jim's" life. Many lads do not care to go into the trenches without a copy of God's Word on their person. They look upon it with a kind of superstition, but even this God uses for Ills own glory, for often In Idle moments the men take out the little Testaments from their pockets in the trenches and dugouts and read them. It ts the only book they desire, and all the armies show the same desire for the Scriptures. Scores and scores of Testaments and Gospels have actually been the means of saving life, and when the men have seen their books shot through or partially through by a bullet, have read them with an In creased interest. God has spoken to them in this strange way, and they have yielded themselves to Him. When we think of the millions upon millions of the best manhood of Europe being pitted against each other in deadly conflict, surely the best book to provide for "The Man of War" is "The Book of Peace." How willing the soldiers of Rus sia, Belgium, France and Germany are to receive the word! In a Brit ish hospital, a soldier who was wounded after havilng bayonetted a German soldier, told how the German pulled out a Gospel of John from his pocket, and handing it to him said "Take this; eat, drink and live for ever." "Please tell me more of the Lord Jesus," wrote a French soldier to whom a comrade had given a Gospel In French. "I do want more guid ance unto the way of life." A branch of the mission has been formed in Philadelphia, and another in Canada. The secretary of the American branch is Robt. B. Haines, Jr., 119 S. Fourth street, Philadel phia, and the treasurer is Asa S. Wing, of the Provident Life and Trust Co., 401 Chestnut street, Phil adelphia, and to either of these gifts may be sent for the work. Roughly speaking, 1,000 Gospels or 500 Tes taments can be provided for $50; which is surely a very cheap rate, and nothing whatever is deducted from gifts for working expenses. These are met from the sales in the business department of the mission. Dentil ol R. H. King. On June 5th, when the men were going to and from the polls register ing, the death angel came quietly and unexpectedly to the home of "Kiah" King and carried him from earth into the presence of his God, where there ls no more trouble, care, sorrow or war. lie was critically ill only a few days, and all that a dear wife, loving children, kind neighbors and skilled medical aid could do for him was done to stay the monster death; but when God speaks we all must go to join the innumerable throng around the throne of God. In his death his family have indeed lost "their .strong arm," and also a good neighbor and friend has gone to his reward, and Oconee has lost one of her best citizens. Mr. King was a Methodist. In early life he married Miss Mollie Kennedy. To this union a number of children were born, some dying In Infancy. Those living are Mesdames Andy Williams and Hamp Gibson, of near Westminster; Mrs. Jack Grant, of Atlanta, Ga., and Miss May 'Belle, who has been In Columbia, at Colum bia Hospital, taking a course in nurs ing, and both of whom reached his bedside in his last moments. He leaves three sons-Mitt King, of Town ville; Henry, of Seneca, and Dewitt, who stays with his mother and sister, May Belle. We think he leaves three brothers, Robert and Ed. King, of 'Westminster, and John King, of Walhalla. He was 57 years old last September. After funeral services, conducted by Rev. I/ewis, of Westminster, all that was mortal of that dear husband and fathor was laid to rest in the cemetery at Center church. A large number of relatives and friends as sembled to pay the last sad tributo of respect to tho deceased. Many were the floral offerings 'which spoke oC his popularity. The family have the sympathy, of tho entire community In this sad, try ing hour, and we point them to Him who never makes a mistake and who doeth all things well and In love.

DRESS REFORM. + ?X-X-I-I* -I-I- -I-2-I-I-I* 4? 4? 4? *?| Seneca, June 26.-Editor Keowee Courier: I am enclosing for publica tion a clipping from yesterday's Co lumbia State, which 1 hope you will publish. I earnestly wish every mo ther in Oconee county to read this. I heard a great deal of- Mrs. Var dell's article while I was visiting in North Carolina, where lt has received wide publicity. 1 suggest that tho social, literary and religious organi zations of tho county take cognizance of this appeal for reform In dress. I think lt a travesty on woman that her laxness In the affairs of dress should be the subject of comment and joke by tho newspapers, magazines and the wag of the street. Sincerely yours, Mattie V. Strlbllng. Ry Way of Warning. "Our Clothes" ls the title of an ar ticle reprinted from the Presbyterian Standard from the pen of Mrs. C. G. Vardell, of Red Springs, N. C., which ls attracting attention In Columbia and which we wish could be placed in the handB of all of the women and especially of the mothers of daught ers. The article does not spare words in describing the tendency to immod esty in dress on the part of young women and the dangers thal Inevita bly flow from lt. We quote from lt: "What is the cause of this laxity in standards of dress? Aro our girls and women really as Immodest (I nearly said impure) as they look? I think not. The root of tho whole matter will, 1 believe, be found In two causes, viz.: Carelessness and un due desire for admiration-the care lessness that does not think, the care lessness that blindly follows the man dates of fashion, whether they be graceful, suitable, healthful, or mod est, the carelessness that ls willing to lead others Into temptation and then blame others for the results, careless ness that is the excuse of children and the Inefficient. But such care lessness ls criminal and can have no excuse. Tho person who takes mor phine for quinine loses his life just as surely as the suicide. This careless ness of our women and girls ls one of the greatest dangers to our age. The large majority of our women are, I believe, pure In heart, and desire to be pure In conduct. But, like a flock of silly sheep, they 'follow the lea der' and are guilty 01 that which ls is danger of brlbglnp- about the disinte gration of our manhood. 'A virtuous woman (Solomon says) ls a crown to her husband, but she that maketh ashamed ls as rottenness to his bones.' When God clothed the man and woman, he saw the evil In their hearts, and knew the need of cover ing for the nakedness of their bodies. When women do not dress themselves in accord with this prin ciple, the carelessness, at flrst but a spot of impurity, will grow and re act on the woman herself. Such thlngB never stand still. The rotten ness will permeate the whole of so ciety." AB of ibis is true and is of special pertinence at this time. If there be a woman In Columbia who does not understand that inseparable from a state of war is a condition of demor alization, her stupidity is hopeless and she is unfit for the guardianship of a daughter. The perils to women and men, too, in these times are of a thousand kinds and there cannot be too much fortification in common sense and common righteousness against them. A yielding to extremes in drena that would bo foolish and vulgar In normal circumstances ls, during the commotion and upheaval attending the training and mobiliza tion of armies, scarcely less than criminal. The protection that young women require must come in the main in the teaching of their mothers and in equal measure responsibility for disaster, if it comes, will rest upon mothers. - New Hope Locals.

The public endorsement of a local citizen is the best proof that can bo produced. Nono better, none stronger can bo had.
