tumorous Jrpartmcnt. Spurgeon'ii Correction. One day the mayor of Cambridge, who had tried to curb Mr. Spurgeon's tendencies to sensationalism, inquired of him if he had really told his congregation that, if a thief got into heaven, he would begin picking the angel3' pockets. "Yes, sir," 'the young preacher replied, "I told them that, if it were possible for an ungodly man to go to heaven without having his nature changed, he would be none the better for being there; and then, by way of illustration, I said that, were a thief to get in among the glorified, he would ?~?-1? ? UIa/ of 111 or\A ha w mi Id CO remain a unci obm, *?v 0around the place picking the angels' pockets!" "But, my dear young friend," asked the mayor seriously, "don't you know that the angels haven't any pockets?" "No, sir," replied young Spurgeon with equal gravity, "I did not know that, but I am glad to be assured of the fact from a gentleman who does know. I will take care to put it right the first opportunity I get." The next Monday morning Spurgeon walked into the mayor's place of business and said to him cheerfully: "I set that matter right yesterday, sir." "What matter?" he inquired. "Why, about the angels' pockets." "What did you say?" "Oh, sir, I Just told the people I was sorry to say that I had made a mistake the last time I preached to them; but that I had met a gentleman?the Mayor of Cambridge?who had assured me that the angels had no pockets, so I must correct what I had said, as I did not want anybody to go away with a false notion about heaven. I would, therefore, say that, if a thief got among the angels without having his nature changed he would try to steal the feathers out of their wings."?Homiletic Review. Gen. Hughes and the Sentry. General Hughes, who has just returned from the Philippines after a long stay, will tell you that a simple private on sentry duty is, for the time being, a greater man than the wearer of stars. And he learned this from an Irish private of the volunteers. The soldier was guardian over a captured Spanish storehouse, and he had orders to pass no one without a special order from the provost marshal of Manila, which position General Hughes at that time held. When the provost marshal drew near the storehouse he became suddenly aware that if he persisted in moving forward he would impale hhnself on a triangular Springfield bayonet. "Halt!" cried a voice in rich brogue. "You can't go in there." "Why not?" asked the general. "Niver mind," replied the private. "I know me orders. You can't go in there without a pass from the provost marshal." "But I'm the provost marshal, myself," said General Hughes. "I don't care if you're the president. Devil a foot do you set inside till you show me a pass." The general smiled, and drawing a memorandum from his pocket, scribbled a few lines on a leaf. He handed this to the sentry. "Very well, sor," said the private when he had carefully perused the pass. "But why the dlvil didn't you do that in the first place?"?San Francisco News-Letter. The Sinful Brother.?It was at a certain church meeting, and the good bishop was calling for reports. He naa a rainer siem, suai y u?uiu? which sometimes jarred a little on the nerves of the more timid. By and by he came to Brother B., a lay delegate. "Brother B., what is the spiritual condition of your church?" demanded the bishop briskly. "I consider it good," said the brother. "What makes you think he is good?" went on the bishop. v "Well, the people are religious. That is what makes me think so." "What do you call religious? Do they have family prayers?" "Some of them do and some do not." "Do you mean to say that a man may be a Christian and not hold family prayer?" "Yes, sir; I think so." "Do you bold family prayer?" "Yes, sir," returned the brother very quietly. "And yet you think a man may be a Christian and not hold family prayer?" "I have a brother who is a better man than I am who does not hold family prayer." "What makes you think he is a better man than you are?" "Everybody says so, aiftl I know ne is." "Why does not your brother, if he is such a good man, hold family prayer?" thundered the bishop. "He has no family," meekly answered the brother.?Harper's Magazine. He Wasn't Worrying.?It is not long snice that a Baltimore woman pAlnroriA woo otorHncr fr?r G drive along Boulder canon. Her ideas of a canon, acquired wholly from illustrations, was of mighty clefts in giant rocks, and a drive along its edge meant following a thread-like road where the least swerving aside from the beaten track might result in being dashed to instant death. Thinking to insure safe horses and careful driving on the phrt of the liveryman. she tried to impress him with the fact that she was prominently connected in her native city, her family one of wealth and much given to travel, so that if any disaster overtook her his reputation as a liveryman would suffer. "Oh, that would be all right, ma'am." responded the Jehu, "I am an undertakes-by profession, as well as a horseman, and if anything were to happen to you, I assure you the remains would be sent home in the most scientific and fashionable style. Why, only last week I sent home two bodies?a mother and daughter?who were the very bon ton of New York society, and no man ever got up a corpse in prettier style than those two."?Baltimore Sun. gjutrrnatumal Wesson. THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON IX, FIRST QUARTER, INTERNATIONAL SERIES, MARCH 2. Text of the Leaion, Acta vll, 54 to Till, Memory Veraes, 50, GO?Golden Text, Matt. v. 44?Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearna. [Copyright, 1902, by American Press Association.] 54. 55. "But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up steadfastly into heaven." With great power and boldness, being filled with the Spirit, Stephen had spoken the truth and, like Peter, had accused the council of being the murderers of Jesus Christ. They were so cut to the heart that they were filled with fury and gnashed their teeth at him. How suggestive was their conduct of the place to which they were journeying, where there is weeping and gnashing of teeth not against others so much as because of their own torment! (Matt, xiii, 42, 50; xxii, 13.) 56. "And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened and the Son of Man standing on the right band of God." This is one of the seven times that we find the phrase in Scripture "heaven opened." The passages are Ezek. i, 1; Matt, iii, 16; John i, 51; Acts vii, 56; x, 11; Rev. iv, 1; xix, 11, and they well repay a careful study, for the Lord Jesus is always the central person, and the more we look into heaven the more heavenly we become, and there is so much room for improvement in that direction. 57, 5S. "Then they cried out with a loud voice and stopped their ears aud ran upon him with one accord." This is the first of the four "one accords" of the devil's followers in this book of the Acts, the others being xii, 20; xviii, 12; xix, 29. The nuinbpr four suggests the four corners of the earth (Rev. vii, 1), or the whole earth, and reminds us inai iue whole world lieth in the wicked one (I John v, 19, R. V.), and the wicked one will never cease his hatred of God or of the people of God. We are wise when we stop our ears as David did and refuse to hear the mischievous things that evil people speak (Ps. xxxviii, 12. 13). but to stop one's ears from hearing the things of God is truly the devil's work. Refusing the truth, they were believing a lie (II Thess. ii, 10, 11), and, believing that Jesus of Nazareth was an impostor, they judged Stephen to be guilty of blasphemy, and in stoning him thought they were obeying their law (Lev. xxiv, 16). while they themselves were, before God. the blasphemers and the guilty ones, but they were blinded by the god of this world (II Cor. iv, 3, 4). This is our first introduction to the young man named Saul, unless, as some think, he is the same young man who wcut away from Jesus one day sorrowfully because he loved his possessions. 59. "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit." Thus said Stephen as they were stoning him to death, for he knew whom he believed and saw Him even before he went out to be with Him. When our Lord Himself was dying. He said, "Father, into Thine hands I commend My spirit." And similar words came from David by the same spirit long before (Luke xxiii, 46; Ps. xxxi. 5), for he also could truly say: "I trusted in Thee, 0 Lord." "My times are in Thy hand" (Ps. xxxi. 14, 13). These dying words of Stephen and of the Lord Jesus give no encouragement to the belief that between death and resurrection the spirit is asleep and unconscious. If any are not fully persuaded concerning the life and bliss of the believer apart from the body, let them read and believe Luke xvi, 22; xxiii, 43: II Cor. v, 8; Phil. I, 21, 23; Rev. vi, 9-11. CO. "Lord, lay not this sin to their charge." Like his adorable Lord and Master he prayed for his murderers (Luke xxiii, 34). Our instructions are, "Love your enemies: bless them that curse you: do good to them that bate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you and persecute you" (Matt, v, 44). And while this is impossible to the natural man, if any man be in Christ he is a new creature, born from above, a temple of the Holy Spirit, a mansion in which the Father and the Son have come to dwell (II Cor. v, 17; I Cor. vi, 19, 20; John xiv, 23), and Christ in us can do what He did when here on earth in the body prepared for Ilim. It is our privilege to yield fully to Him and take as our motto, "Not I, but Christ" (Gal. II. 20). viii, 1. "And Saul was consenting unto his death." Hear his own account of what be said to the Lord Jesus long afteiward, "And I said, Lord, they know that I imprisoned and beat in every synagogue them that believed on Thee, and when the blood of Thy martyr Stephen was shed I also was standing by and consenting unto his death and kept the raiment of them that slew him" (Acts xxii, 19, 20). Before Agrippa he said. "I verily thought with myself that I ought to do many things contrary to the name of Jesus of Nazareth, which thing I also did in Jerusalem" (Acts xxvi, 9, 10). And then he went on to tell how not only in Jerusalem, but in other cities, being exceedingly mad against the saints, he was the means of their imprisonment, punishment nnH rionth. Our lesson tells of the greatness of the persecution in Jerusalem after the death of Stephen and how all the believers except the apostles were scattered through Judrna and Gamaria. The Lord's command was to "go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature," "To be His witnesses unto the uttermost parts of the earth" (Mark xvi, 15; Acts i, 8), but up to this time they eem to have confined their testimony to Jerusalem, and it required a persecution to scatter them that they might obey His command. Thus He maketh the wrath of man to praise Him and restrains what He does not see fit to use (Ps. Ixxvl, 10). 2. "And devout men carried Stephen to his burn*! and mude great lamentation over him." Well, they did not bury Stephen, but they buried all that was left of him on the earth, the house in which he had sojourned. Stephen him*>lf was "absent from the body, present with the Lord," but his body was asleep, even as Jesus had said of Lazarus when speaking of his death, "Our friend Lazarus sleepeth" (John xi, 11-14). There was no occasion to lament for Stephen, hint if n?ne o trront crjiin, hilt it seemed that the church could ill afford to lose such a witness. We still think when the faithful witnesses are called home that it is strange when there seems to be such great need of them here and there are seemingly so few, but we must member that the work is Ills who. in undisturbed majesty, is at God's right haad. itir We have employments assigned 10 us for every circumstances in life. When we are alone, we have our thoughts to watch; in our family, our tempers; and in society our tongues. "Provide things honest in the sight of all men," does not mean to go in debt and not pay that indebtedness. pisKfUaueous Reading. FROM CONTEMPORARIES.

Rock Hill Herald, February 19: On account of the snow, orders were issued Saturday suspending all work on the Catawba Power company's dam for nmnant A whltp neddler of spectacles recently canvassed a part of this county, swindling all persons with whom he dealt. Richland has likewise been canvassed in the same way and The Record reports that the peddler is likely to get into trouble. He sold a Negro man a pair of spectacles for $4, which he claimed were gold. They turned out to be brass of the rankest kind, and the Negro had a warrant sworn out charging the peddler with obtaining money under false representation Monday afternoon, as Misses Virginia and Rosa Hough, accompanied by their cousin, Mr. Jim Hough, were returning to their home at Fort Lawn, having spent the day with friends, Mr. Hough's horse became frightened and ran away, throwing the occupants of the buggy violently to the ground. Miss Virginia Hough's left arm was badly sprained, from which she suffered much pain. Miss Rosa and Mr. Jim Hough escaped without Injury Miss Lou Ella Major and Mr. Ira B. Taylor were married in Greenwood last week. The ceremony was performed at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. C. G. Major. After the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Taylor left for a visit to the Charleston exposition. The wedding was a quiet home affair, attended only by the immediate family of the two young people. Miss Major attended school at Winthrop college in 1900 and was highly esteemed by her acquaint ances here Major A. H. White, of Rock Hill, and Mr. Samuel H.

Burn this up." While Dr. T. L. Cornwell was walking along West Black street, Saturday night at a late hour, having been to see a patient, some one near him fired a pistol. He did not think anything special of the incident, but later when he had occasion to examine his medicine chest, he found that a pistol ball had penetrated the chest, and after breaking several bottles, had dropped inside the box. It was snowing at the time and he was heavily wrapped so that he would hardly be laentinea. Ttie mieniion 01 me man ia not understood and Dr. Cornwell is not disposed to think the assailant proposed to harm him Perhaps the most radical legislation that has yet been passed by the South Carolina house of representatives was the resolution looking to the constitutional amendment dissolving two townships in Greenville, one in Anderson and one or two in Edgefield. The purpose of this and other bills on the same line is to avoid the payment of certain bonds issued in aid of railroads that were never built. The trouble really ought to rest with the commissioners who surrendered the bonds before the road was built; but naturally the taxpayers are sore and want to get rid of the burden, as they did not get the consideration they bargained for. CHESTER. Lantern, February 18: One of the most novel of all the sleigh-riders, Saturday, was two boys driving a mule, and to warn the inhabitants of their approach they had an old time cowbell attached to the mule's collar Saturday morning Policeman Johnson had some unpleasant experience with a Negro, Jake McFadden. Mr. Johnson started to arrest Jake for some slight offense at Byers' restaurant and told him that he would have to give bond for his appearance before the mayor Monday morning. The Negro walked into the restaurant and intimated to the policeman, if he came in there, it would not be healthy for him; but nevertheless Mr. Johnson went in. Jake snapped his pistol once and fired once at Mr. Johnson, who fired twice at the Negro. Nobody, however, was hit. Jake took to his heels and has not yet been apprehended.

Gastonia News, January 18: Mrs. Dr. J. C. Galloway returned from Lexington, Va., Friday night, accompanied by her sisters, Misses Bruce and Willie McKemy Gastonia was on the verge of a coal famine Saturday. The Loray and Old mill ran out of coal Saturday. The Avon and Power house were running close yesterday. So were all the other mills in town. Plenty of coal came in Thursday; but Saturday the shifting engine began to leak and had to be sent to Spencer for repair and it was not till yesterady about 4 o'clock that an engine could be obtained from Spartanburg. Coal was at once supplied to the mills. Ten carloads were on the siding yesterday. That won't last Gastonia long. While the Loray and Old mills were shut down the operatives had a good time. The boys and girls engaging in amusement and snow balling E. W. Prisoark, known as Roscoe, a colored barber who has been here with R. S. Alexander for the past two years, is in jail. Friday he went to Smyre's hardware store and bought a pistol. The clerks were called out a moment and when Roscoe had left Fred Smyre missed two pistols Instead of one. He went to hunt Roscoe, who at first denied having but one pistol; but on being assured that he was to be searched he pulled out a pistol from each shirt sleeve. They were small pistols and they were so completely concealed in the shirt waist that although he had on no coat the pistols did not show. He was placed in jail to await court. He has had charge of the shop for the past few weeks in the absence of Sandy Alexander, who has a position as porter on the Southern Mrs. Jane Meek Barnett died Saturday morning at 9.15 o'clock. She was 84 years old on the 19th of last October. She was in exceedingly good health until three weeks before the day of her death. She took grip, which was too much for her old age. She was conscious almost until the last. The funeral exercises were conducted Saturday afternoon at 3 o'clock by Rev. M. McG. Shields, at the home. The remains were carried to Bethel on Sunday morning and interred in the old Bethel cemetery about 1 o'clock. The deceased was bern near Bowling Green and was a daughter of the late Wm. Adams. She has a large list of relatives in Gastonia and all through the Bethel section. She spent part of her early years in what is now Cherokee county, on Broad river, went to school in Yorkville and afterwards made her home in Bethel until October 1899, she moved to Gastonia. Her husband, Hamilton Barnett, died Decern ber 29th, 1893. Her mother died when she was a child. She had eleven children, 13 grand children, and one great grand child. She prized a photograph in which were the pictures of four generations. Her living children are Mrs. R. E. Nichols, of York county; J. W. Barnett, of the old home place; Miss E. J. Barnett, who lived with her mother; A. M. Barnett and R. M. Barnett, of Bethel; and Miss Maggie Barnett, who lived with her mother. The devotion of these two daughters to their aged mother was most tender. Mrs. Barnett was a most lovable character and a devoted member of tne Presbyterian church. She belonged for many years at Bethel and moved her membership to Gastonia when she moved here two years ago. She was a devoted mother and faithful friend, and those who knew her best, loved her most. One of her sons, John Nelson Barnett, died about the close of the war as a result of the amputation of a leg. Mecklenburg's Roads.?It is a matter which especially concerns us all. Our progress as a state depends largely upon the improvement of our public highways, and our schools and churches will reap the first and the greatest fruits from good, smooth roads. Mecklenburg county, corrugated as it is with red hills, and sticky with "up country" clay, is a delight to the traveler as he glides along over its splendid roadways; and while Charlotte is full of bounding business life and blessed with a population of en ergetic citizens, yet much of the marvelous growth of that fine town is due to the miles of macadam which invites trade, and makes it easy to do business over the beautiful public roads leading into it for a dozen miles in each direction. We have lots to learn in North Carolina about the value of good roads.?Charity and Children. Thought His Legs Were Gone.? While in conversation with a rather distinguished southerner, who had been a colonel in the Confederate army during the war, he told me a number of incidents which he had noticed during those days of terror. One which he vouched for as true was of a Captain Smith, who, with his men, was among the Confederate forces fighting the bluecoats from the side of South Mountain. When there wus a lull in the firing from both sides, a detail, accompanied by physicians, went out to pick up the wounded. Captain Smith was found lying broad on his back and, when asked what was the matter with him, replied that they "must be fools not to see that both his legs had been shot off." An examination revealed the fact that the captain was intact ? from head to foot, and the only injury g was a slight shock to his constitution, r Then it was found that while Smith I was directing the firing of his men a j cannon ball struck the hill just below j his feet and, ploughing through, lett a hollow place, just under where he was standing. The weight of the cap- n tain caused his feet and legs to fall in- . to the hole, and the shock from the ] close proximity of the cannon ball had , thrown him on his back. And there he lay with his feet and lower part of his J legs partly burled, firmly convinced ' that he had been crippled for life.? j Philadelphia Ledger. 1 _ i NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC.
