IT IS SAID
He who loves so far serves.?
Wi'liam Ellery Channing.
No man can lose what he nev-j
er has.?Izaak Walton.
Nature is a volume of which
God is the author.?Moses Harvey.
Matrimony,?the high sea foi
which no compass has yet been
invented.?Heine.
We love any forms, however
ugly, from which great 'qualities
shin p.?Rmprson.
Modesty seldom resides in a
breast that is not enriched with
noble virtues.?Goldsmith.
Mirth is like a flash of lightning,
that breaks through a
gloom of clouds, and glitters for
a moment; cheerfulness keeps up
a kind of daylight in the mind,
and fills it with a steady and perpetual
serenity.?AJdison.
Dispatch is the soul of business;
and nothing contributes
more to dispatch than method.
Lay down a method for everything,
and stick to it inviolably,
as far as unexpected incidents
may allow.?Lord Chesterlield.
Memory, like a purse, if it be
o\er-full that it cannot shut, all
will drop out of it; take heed of
a gluttonous curiosity to feed on
many things, lest the greediness
of the appetite of thy memory
spoil the digestion thereof.?
Thomas Fuller.
Marriage enlarges the scene of
our happiness and miseries. A
marriage of love is pleasant; a
marriage of interest, easy; and a
mairiage where both meet, happy.
A happy marriage has in ii
all the pleasures of friendship, all
the enjoyments of sense and reason,
and, indeed, all the sweets
of life.?Addison.
My idea of the Christian religion
is, that it is an inspiration
and its vital consequences?an
inspiration and a life?God's life
breaihed into a man and breathed
through a man?the highest
inspiration and the highest life
of every soul which it inhabits;
ana, iunnermore, mat tne soul
which it inhabiis can have no
high issue which is not essentially
religious.?J. G Holland.
Worth Remembering
God does not demand impossibilities.
Do what you can.?
St. Augustine.
The noblest question in the
world is, Wnat good may I do
in it??Benjamin Franklin.
If you want a really lovely
world without, you must make
the world within bright and lovely.?David
Gregg.
Seek to cultivate a buoyant,
joyous sense of the crowded
kindnesses of God in your daily
life.?McLaren.
Christ has come to live in the
hearts of men, and by that pres
ence he makes them priests unto
himself.?Rev. H I. Rasmus.
Yesterday can not be recalled;
tomorrow can not be assured;
today is only thine, which if thou
procrastinatest, thou loosest,
which lost is lost forever. ? I ere
my Taylor.
When thou hast thanked thy
God for every blessing sent,
What time will then remain for
murmurs or lament?
?Trench.
You can always borrow trouble
without collateral but it is a cinch
that you will haye to pay compound
interest at usunous rates.
If you desire to save a man,
5 ou must look for the best in him
not the worst. And you must
lei mm Know it. l o tell a per
son he is a child of the devil, or
act as though you so considered
him, is not the way to induce
him to become a child ot God.

What a Democratic Vote Means,

There has never been a na-j
ional mid-election in which there
were so many important domes- j

interests and welfare of all the
people.
A vote for Democratic candidates
this year will mean that the
yoter is voting against:
An extortionate profiteers'
tariff act which taxes the American
people between $3,000,000,)0O
and $4,000,00o,000 and increases
the already high cost oi
living.
A re\ enue act which relieved
the big taxpayers of over a half
billion dollars with no corre
sponiting relief for the smaller
taxpayers.

Within the four walls of the
edifice in which the funeral will
be held many distinguished men
and women, who now dwell in
the lore that is Virginia's past,
have bowed the head and bent
the knee. Here his ancestors
prayed for the new republic and
in like manner the dead statesman
had worshipped within
these walls since his childhood.
The little church?"Old Fork"?
so named because of its location
in the lork of ihe Pamuakey river?stands
in the midJle of an
old field, now grown up with
grass and weeds which obliterate
the pathways leading from the
high road to the colonial edifice
where Patrick f lenry, Doily Madison
and other notables worshipped.
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 oiiginal grant as the
first settler of that name in eastprn
Viruinia
Five generations of Nelsons
and Pages have worshipped within
the walls of (his quaint old
church, where tomonow another
member of these two distinguished
Southern families, who bore
the ancestral name with a dignity
befitting the traditions of his
race, will rest silently as his

the Revolutionary patriots of
Hartford county, Md., at a meet

22, 1775, is still in existence. The

Charlotte Observer.
During the progress of the railroad
strike in Tennessee, Charles
i ' -
| lyanier, a snopman, 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 m selection
of a jury. It was only yesterday
that the twelfth man was
accepted. In Asheville, 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
throw the machine!? of the court
Aiken Journal and Review.
The arrest of a minister, in
the upper section of the state, for
violation of the national prohibi
lion act is the latest. The minister
was arrested Sunday night,
October 1st, for having in his
possession a quart of corn whiskey,
which was carried in the
same bag with two Bibles. This
arrest took place after a prohibition
sermon?Next!?Tugaloo

Against that minister, by the
way, who was a simple mountaineer,

teach. This parade of the weakwilled
unfortunate teacher who
fel1 does not lessen the fact that
drink is a raw curse of the land,
and the holding up to ridicule of
the poor weakling who tripped
by the wayside cannot and does
not gild or garnish the booie
bottle, the booze maker or the
j bootlegger. Rather, in our opinion,
such exposition only serves
vviui a smarting sung to show
the cruel fangs of the snake. The
mountaineer Baptist preacher
caught with "moonshine" in his
Bible sack is no sample of the
great army of Christian gentlemen
who are fighting the liquor

souls. Why search the bin for
the specked apple?

MORAL ISSUES
Daily Food
The Bible should be the Christian's
dnilv hrt?nd A rbilrt fr*
grow in size and strength, must
have good food and plenty of it.
So the Christian must feed plentifully
upon Cod'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 built 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.
? John Balcom Shaw.
Ad Evening Thought
Certainly in our own little
sphere it is i?Ot the most active
people to whoin^We^-OW -4h^ X**
most. Among the common people
whom we know it is not necessarily
those who are the busiest,
not those who, meteor-like, <
simply pour down to us the calm
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 In 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 himself
equal to any emergency. It
is sometimes the voung man of
brilliant talents, superior advantages,
and splendid fortune who
goes down in time of temptation.
Let not the strong ma t glory in
his strength. Trust in the Lord.
"They that trust in the Lord shall
be as Mount Zion, which cannot
be removed, but ubideth forever."?Exchange.
ThelTwo 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 G( d." To
make an old person happier
frvrt ni\Lk rv\Arn
U1UIU CUllllUl liiuiv, mwii; nuj/f
ful?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
person for sunshine! It is beautiful
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?
