When God's word declares a man's sin will find him out it means what it says. The fact that the former preacher was tested as to his sanity possibly accounts for a fife rather than a death sentence.

It is a quaint structure, with its tall columns standing majestically as proud survivors of the colonial days, when the "colonial magnate" Thomas Nelson reigned on an original grant as the first settler of that name in eastern Virginia.

The original Declaration of In lependence made and signed by he Revolutionary patriots of riartford county, Md., at a meet ng in Hartford Town on March 52.-1775, is still in existence. The leclaration is older than that of he Mecklenburg, N. (J., patriots, vhich was signed in May, 1775, ind antedates by more than a -ear the Declaration of Independence by the Continental Congress, July 4, 1776. Hartford Town is now called Bush and Me House in whit h the meetings was held was an old tavern, the ruins of which are yet to be seen. ?Fort Mills Times. What does the Charlotte Observer have to say about this? Charlotte Observer. During the progress of the railroad strike in Tennessee, Charles Lamer, a shopman, was killed and three men were arrested on charge of the murder. The case was taken up five weeks ago and the lawyers have succeeded in consuming all that time in selection of a jury. It was only yesterday that the twelfth man was accepted. In AsheviHe, a youth: was kidnapped and manhandled. Three men were arrested for the offense, were tried, found guilty and sentenced to the penitenti ary, all within the course of three days. It seems that the lawyers can almost always and generally Aiken Journal and Review. The arrest of a minister., in the upper section of the state, for violation of the national prohibition act is the latest. The minis-; ter was' arrested Sunday night, October 1st, for having in his possession a quart of corn whistcey, which was carried in the same bag with two Bibles. This arrest took place after a prohibition sermon?Next!?Tugaloo Tribune. Against that minister, by the way, who was a simple moun-| aineer, we can point to thoti jands of ?od fearing, booze hating clergymen who practice daily n their lives thelessons that thev each. This parade of the weakwilled unfortunate teacher who [ell does not lessen the fact that Irink is a raw curse of the land, and the holding up to ridicule of [he poor weakling who tripped t>y the wayside cannot and does not gild or garnish the booze Dottle, the booze maker or the Dootlegger. Rather, in our opinion, such exposition only serves with a smarting sting to show he cruel fangs of the snake. The nountaineer Baptist preacher :aught with "moonshine" in his Bible sack is no sample of the >reat army of Christian gentlenen who are fighting the liquor ;urse for the salvation of men's louls. Why search the bin for he specked apple? Mrs. Brown's Joke "I could have laughed out* ight," said Mrs. Brown, "when vc yycic, KU?'K iuuuu DUIUUIH ind Bailey's meaagerie on Frilay."

It vas a camomile." MORAL ISSUES Daily Food The Bible should be the Christian's daily bread. A child, to grow in siie and strength, must have good food and plenty of it. So the Christian must feed plentifully upon God's Word. Moreover he must feed with appetite. The child that finds no pleasure in three meals a day needs medicine, or exercise, more than food. So the Christian who does not find God's Word sweet to the taste, should look tor the cause of his distaste.?Sermons for Silent Sabbaths. Thank and Think It was no accident that extracted the words "think"and "thank" from the same root. So count- ^ less are our blessings that one has only to set his mind reflecting and his heart will at once leap into praise. Nor was it a bungling hand that huilt the word "contemplation" (con-plustemplum). He who begins to meditate upon the goodness ot God is ushered forthwith into a great temple where worship becomes an instinct and a delight. ?JohnBalcom Shaw. An Evening Thought Certainly in our own little sphere it is not the most active people to whom ^we-OW - s~' " most. Among the common people whom we know it is not necessarily those who are the busHL rBvp-^ ^ light of their bright and faithful being, up to which we look and out of which we gather the deepest calm and courage.?Ex. Power Id Weakness It is otten the strong man that falls before the power of eyil. If Samson had been a weaker man he might have been a safer man. He would have been less selfconfident, more vigilant and cautious. But he believed him W ? 4 sen equai iu any emergency, ll is sometimes the young man of brilliant talents, superior advantages, and splendid fortune who goes down in time of temptation. Let not the strong man glory in his strength. Trust in the Lord. "They that trust in the Lord shall be as Mount Zton, which cannot be removed, but abideth forever."?EKchange. The}Two Extremes of Lite "If I can put some touches of rosy sunset into the life of any man or woman," says George Macdonald. "then I feel that I have wrought with God." To make an old person happier more comfortable, more hopeful?that is, to put the touch of rosy sunset into a human life is one of our most sacred privileges. It is a special privilege of youth to cheer old age. How naturally an old person turns to a young nannn 4r\r ouncViinol It is Kon 11 OVU IVI OUIJOUIUV* At to UVUUtiful to see the sympathy that subsists between the two extremes of life. In some respects youth and age are as like as sunrise and sunset; and it seems to be God*s blessed will and plan that each should turn to the other for help. It is in the power of every young person to bring sunlight into the life of some old person, to impart that "touch of rosy sunset" which is so sweet to the aged pilgrim who is drawing near the close of life.?Selected,
