THE UNSEEN WORLD.
Dr. Hawthorne Preaches a Strong
Sermpn at First Baptist
Church.
Dr. J. B. Hawthorne, the famous
Baptist divine of Richmond, Va., ac
companied by his wife, reached New
berry on Saturday where they will
remain until Tuesday and then go
to Charleston to deliver his lecture
on "Air, Sunshine and Out-door Liv
ing."
-. On -Suinday night Dr. Hawthorne
tpreahed a very strong sermon from
2 Cor. 4:18, taking for his subject,
"Seeing the unseen."
We see things that are not seen, he

hangs in his study. With the physi
cal eye he could see only the form,
but his mind's eye could see the life
of ministry and love.
The American flag in a sense was
only a piece of bunting on which
could be seen only so many stripes
and stars, but in that he saw his coun

This, said the speaker, is infinitely
true in the religious life. We look
beyond the material to the immaterial.
We see beyond the visible world to
the hidden power which made aiid

see the abiding. We, see beyond the
grave that over which the
there is something more than we see.
Faith's world is infinitely larger than
the world of vision.
The truth that the things which are
seen are temporal and the things not
seen are eternal, is written on every
thing. What we see ,is short lived,
w.hat we do not see is immortal. As
we look upon all the reminders of
decay and death if. we are spritual

The things which are unseen an eter

For more than two hours Saturda;
afternoon, Sept. 26. a steady line o
enthusiastic believers in a saloonles

It is estimated Phat 200,000 person

P-ess reports vary as to the numbe

How Russia Obtains Naval Stores.
A glance at the way in which naval
stores are obtained in Russia serves
to show what is likely to happen in
- this country when the longleaf pine
forests, from whieh our naval stores
for turpentine, rosin, tar, and pitch,
have been: depleted.
Red pine, called by the botanists
- Pinus sylvestris. is the tree which the
Russians exploit for rosin, as the
longleaf pine of the Southern States
is explbited in this country. In se
curing the rosin the Russians chip the
trees much as we do, but a far smal
l ler yield is secured.
Each years' chipping extends about
three feet vertically, and all the way
around the tree except for a strip of
bark about two inches wide, just suf
ficient to keep the tree alive. After
five years' chipping this strip of
bark is also cut and the tree soon
dies.
On account of the coldne4s of the
climate where the red pine grows, the
rosin does not flow readily, but hard
ens soon 'after it exudes from the
tree. It is necessary, therefore. to
expose a large surface in otder to
aet a sufficient yield. Nor does the
rosin flow far enough to be caught
in liquid form in "boxes" or cups, as
it does in this country. Therefore it
has to be scraped off after it hardens.
The whole product. which amounts to
only about two ounces a year from
each tree, is comparable with the
"scrape" which forms only a small
part of the yield obtained in warmer
climates.
Spirits of turpentrine and rosin are
prepared from this crude resin by
distillation with steam in the usual
manner. The tree is utilized further
.than this, however. The outside
.slabs with scarred surfaces, to which
.some resin still adheres, are treated
either in the old fashioned pit kiln
or in closed iron retorts for the pro
duction of tar, charcoal, and wood
turpent:ine. The rest of the tree is
used for fuel and for making the
barrels in which the produets are
shipped.
It is possible that after our south
ern tur-pent'ine pine becom'es commer
cially extinct, some of the resinous
trees of the colder parts of the Unit
ed Sta.tes m.ay be utilized like the
red pine of Russia as a source of na
val stores, although the yield may be
small and the process tedious.
New Device For Rifle Ranges.
IOne of the experts of an English
rifle club has devised an ingenious
jinstrument to aid in accurate rifle
shooting, says the November Popular
IMeehanics. lit will replace the small
flags at present used on rifle ranges
to indicate the direction of the wind.
The vane above the clock dial is set
so that when pointing towards the
ta'rget it indicates 'that the wind is
blonving from thait direction. The
band and figures on t-he dial tell how
many miles an hour the wind is blow
ing. The article is illustrated.
The Soft Answer.

two boys, aged five and seven, res

Sused to sit in the next room to the

sleep. One night she overheard this:
"Tommy." No reply. "Tommy?"
No reply. Then a punch of a fist re

A Rat Story.
Even conservative women now draw
the hair away from their faces in
huge rolls, and nobdy attempts to
deny the fact that she wears great
quantities of false hair. It is now
necessary for a woman's happiness
that she wear a rat in her hair. Yet
men do not admire the fashion. In
a western city recently, -in a penal
ingtitution for girls there was much
discontent and the superintendent
saw mutiny ahead. He could not di
%ine the cause, so he summoned to
his aid a young juvenile count attache
-a girl who had been extraordinary
suecessful in her dealings with incor
rigible girls. To her he told the sit
uation and requested her to talk with
the girls of the institution for a
while and endeavor to learn in a
roundabout way what was causing the
trouble. A number of the girls were
summoned to the receptIon room and
sIe chatted with them amiably for a
time, without mentioning the impend
ing trouble or its possible cause. As
she 'was about to leave, the superin
tendent entered and asked casually:
"Miss U., what do you think of my
iorder forbidding the girls -to wear
rats in their hair?"
She laughed. "I think it hasn't
been obeyed,'' she said, "as all these
girls are wearing them.
"Impossible! I have 'had every
rat burned."
,She called one of the girls to btr
and parting her .hair, showed the -as
tonished superintendent a home made
rat-a black stocking tr.:isted and pin
ned to the hair. The girls were
stockingless though the weather was
cold. And this in a reformatory,
where no man could see themn-excep:
the superintendent and he' did not ap

lady advised him to let them wear
