Trowbridge, of Cosby, for the following amusing clipping from a recent issue of the Savannah Morn ing Newa. In this day and time when columns are devoted to the moat minute des cription of the bride’s finery, the fol lowing from an exchangei conies to the relief cf the much neglected bride groom: “As the groom approached the al tar he wa* the cynosure of all eyes; blushing prettily, he replied to the queeticna of the clergyman in low but firm tones. He was charmingly clad in a three-piece suit, consisting of coat, vest and pants. “The coat of some dark material was draped about the shoulders and tastefully gathered under the arms. A pretty story was current among the wedding guests that the coat wa* the same one worn by his father and grandfather on their wedding days. The groom wvmld neither affirm nor deny the truth of this sentimental touch. “The vest was sleeveless and »’et in front. It was gracefully fashioned with pockets a nd at the back was held together by a strap and buckle cf self material. Conspicuous on the front of the vest was the groom’s favoribj piece of jewelry—an Odd Fellow’s pi:,— and from the upper left pocket was sus pended the large dollar watch, the bride’s gift to. the groem which flashed and gave just the touch of brilliancy to a costume in perfect taste and harmony. “The groom’s pants were of ds-k worsted tnd were suspended fn.m the waist, falling in the new straight lines almost to the floor. The severe sim plicity of the garment was relieved by the right pants leg, which was caug'it up about four inches by „ garter worn underneath, revealing just the artistic glimpse cf brown hose above boots of genuine leather, laced with strings of the same color, ’iiit effect was rathe” chic. “Beneath the vest the groom wore blue galluses, attached fore and aft to the pants and passing in a graceful curve ever each shoulder. This pretty and useful part of the costume would have pa«*ed unnoticed had not the gioom muffed the ring when the be*t man slipped it to him. When he stooped to recover the arrant circlet, the cerulean hue of the pants' sus pender was revealed prettily. .“Hia neck wa» encircled by a collar characterized by a delicate saw edge and around the collar a cravat was loosely knotted to that it node op un der hi* left ear with that stud tod ef fect of careleMneu which marks su preme artistry in dress." r * Te Visit Gardens.

The announcement concerning the death of Christ, accompanied with the shaping of events which pointed to a speedy accomplishment of the same, shattered the disciples* hope. Tne Lord told them that He was going away and that they conld not follow Him. This brought great grief to their hearts. They perhaps began to doubt His Messiahshlp, hut He did not leave them comfortless. I. He asked them to believe and trust in Himself, as God (▼. 1). ^ “Ye believe In God, believe also tn me.’’ Faith In the God-man, Christ Jesus, will steady the heart, no mat ter Sow great the sorrow or Intense the* grief. If we will but place the cares and burdens of life upon Him oar tears shall be turned into joy and our despondency transformed Into s radiant hope. v 2. He assured them that He was going to prepare a place for them In His Father’s house (v. 2). He assured them that that place would have an abundance of room, for there were “many mansions” in His Father’s house. We should learn from this that heaven Is not an Imaginary place. It Is a prepared place for a prepared people. 3. He assured them that He would come again and escort them to heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, but wUI personally come back to the earth and call forth from the graves those who have died In the faith (I These. 4:16, 17), and trans form living believers and take them all to be with Himself In the heavenly home for evermore. When He said, “I will come again," He no donbt meant His personal, bodily and literal return to this earth. II. Assurance of the Resurrection of the Body (II Cor. 8:1-10). That which nerved Paul for hla conflict oven when physical death threatened was the as surance that even such violence would but hasten his presence with the Lord. As he faced the uncertain future be was sure: 1. That hla preaent body was only a tabernacle, a tent In which he lived temporarily (v. 1). Though this tent were destroyed he had nothing to fear, as there was a building to take its place. This house which Is to take the place o(*the tent Is (1) From God. (2) Not made with hands. (3) It la eternal. Our natural body at beat crumbles to dust In about three score and ten years, but the resurrection body shall abida forever. % (4) It la to be “tn the heavens." 2. He earnestly longed for the change (w. 2-4). The human person ality Instinctively shrinks from a state of disembodiment, but the Intelligent Christian earnestly longs for the ex change of the natural body for the spiritual. We long to put off the per ishable and take on the Imperishable. * 3. This plan waa wrought by God (▼. 5). God did not fashion the body for death, but for llfie. God Is not the God of the dead but of the living. 4. Believers should b* of good cour age (vv. 6-8). While we live In this body we are absent from the Lord, but because of the Holy Spirit dwelling within us. we confidently walk by faith, being more anxious to be absent from the body and present with the Lord. 5. The believer’s chief concern in this life should be to please the Lord (▼▼. 9, 10). Nothing matters—health, sickness, strength, weakness, fame, or obscurity, friends or loneliness—provided at the end of the Journey we hear the Lord's “well done, good and faithful servant** III. Glorified With the Lord (I Jno. 2:2, 3). We are'now God’s children, but the change which awaits the resurrection has not come yet When it comes It will reveal our wonderful future. When the Son of God shall be manU feat we shall be like Him In glory. When Christ shall come again the saints shall share His glory. This glo rious hope will transform the life. The one who has It will keep himself pure even as He Is pure. V fay John; lull i Gaines, ML. D. Overcoming Temptation Every time we allow s' temptation to overcome os we are weaker.

' The days shine this 11 in san- HYDROPHOBU An ancient term, but one which comes before us every now and then, with an acuteness that pales the face with terror.. In its lit eral. meaning, hydrophobia is “dread of water,” as “pnotophobia” is dread of light All “phobias” in medical language are “dreads”. “Rabies”—a shorter word, has its origin in “rage”—madness—from the French, hence, “mad-dog.” Other animals than the dog are susceptible to rabies, the horse, the cow, the cat—and the rodents, rats, mice, etc.; it has been suggested that the bite of the skunk may be followed by hydrophobia. The poi son is one of the most active known, and, until the discovery of the Pasteur, treatment, its pres ence spelled certain death. Something may be said here, that will prove of value to my reader; if yov^r pet suddenly shows signs of illness, you should at once put him. into an absolutely safe isolation, and summon a skilled veterinary doctor. If your little dog begins to act strangely —shows no sign of affection for you—hides himself—trembles, as if excited or suffering) you cannot bo too active in precaution; let me repeat, better be safe than sorry. In the very unfortunate event of your being bitten by a dog, bear in mind that a bite through clothing is many times less liable to be fol lowed by infection than one on a bare surface. Another point: The dog that bites you should be im prisoned and watched to see if he is actually diseased; to kill him at 1 burn his body is to destroy valu able evidence.
