r~daud ; lflr The Abitrary Englab. We'll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes, But the plural of ox should be oxen, not oxes. The one fowl is a goose, but two are called geeSe, Yet the plural of mouse should never be meese. You may fied a lone mouse or a whole nest of mice, But the plural of house is houses, not hiee. If the plural of man is always called men, Why shouldn't the plural of pan be called pen? The cow in the plural may be cows o2 kine, But a row if repeated is never callei rine, And the plural of vow is vows, never If I speak of a foot and you show me your feet, And I give you a boot would a pair be called beet? If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, Why shuldn't the, plural of booth be caIe beeth? If the singular's this and the plural is these, Should the plural of kiss ever knick named keese? The one may be that and three wouk be those, Yet hat in the plural would never b hose, And the plural of cat is cats, not cos We speak of a brother, and also o: brethren, . But though we say mother, we neve: say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he his and him, But imagine the feminine she, shis an( Ahim. So the English, I think, you all wil agree, is the greatest language you ever dic ee. -The Commonwealth. SAnnal Conys.anon s. C. -r. W. Every energy is,being put forth b; 4hB South Carolina Christian Temn *peraneef Workers to make the cominj conirention at Chester on the- 18th t 21st of September a success, ani judging from the work that has beel accomiplished the past year, there i no reason why this fourth conventioi should not be its best. There i nothing that comes closer to on d home life than the temperance cause and if true temperance could reigrn it would be the means of a wide spread of mission work, for wbat mal can be interested in the cause of mis sions and the spread of the gospe - and at the same time spend his tim' V and money in a grog shop? Wha woman can be interested in sendini - the good tidings when her heart ani mind are worried and fretted by besotted husband or dissipated off pring? What woman can give o her means to forward missions whe, her little ones cry for bread -and ar pierced by winter's cold blast, all oi account of intemperance in the home Giving and working under such cir cumstances (and they are so numer otis) is as irksome as climbing a rock; steep unassisted. Intemperance il *the tap root that is sapping away thi life and energy of our race, and i must be cut in twain by the Chris tians of our land before a genera spread and giving of missions wil come. A church member who love .his dram is dividing his gift for mis sions between the church and thi * dispensary, is why so many are op posing prohibition and missions Knowing that the facts 1 have states are true, it seems to me that ever2 woman in South Carolina shouk push on this convention with he every energy, bring our most gifte< men and women to the front an< pray earnestly that they may bi inspired to speak words that wil arouse our people, not only our State - but our nation. Come to the conven tion, it will give you inspiration o which none ever get too much. W< need your presence, so encourge ni by going. Go see what those already at work have done, and present your selves a living sacrifice on the alta) of temperance. It is the little dropi tbat make the mighty ocean. Wil. the reader of this be one to let fal a drop to form this mighty ocean ol -temperance which will some day spread over our land and purify itt whiskey and tobacco tamnted souls, that will bring the haven to the heart and when its mighty billows roll back hQw delightful will we all . be to walk upon the sands made white by the labors of the Christians of oar land.

Neither were 1the prbfessions of law and medicine so crowded as to cause the di version of -a stream of college grad nates to the newspaper editorial C rooms. I am not one who laments a Iany change that time in accordance with the law of necessary progres sion brings about. Conditions will F continue to change and the new take U the place of the old when the latter a shows a faltering step in keeping up with the procession.

Un- noti er the inspiring leadership of the gral astor, Rev. Geo. H. Cornelson, the con ongregation has raised a salary to the upport' a representative in the for- the ign field and has selected S. R. The lope, of Tokushima, Japan, to be far hat representative." thof In the same correspondence and hay mmediately following was this: far '"Mrs. Branch living near the Lip- for >ard Mill, with an only daughter, can hose husband is off at work in Hun- Thi ersville, tried to end her life yester- Vir lay by taking laudanum. The doe Al or.saved her life by hard work. She Kei rave as a reason for this desperate had ect her poyerty-destitnte circam- fair tances." tive The incidental, though unintended Pe* omparison, leads the Statesville ot Jandmark to observe: "These items wa iave no connection, probably, but gra or the life of us we can't help but at reditate on one while we read the Sta ither. Money for missionaries prop sto( r1y applied-yes, oh yes! Suffer. the g and destitute perishing at our in loors-hungry for physical and lan ipiritual food. But we don't see pro ,hem. Our vision is elevated and are e are looking afar off. cth "And Concord is oy no means ma one. It is only an illustration. In a Statesville a few weeks ago while a can shurch was exerting itself to raise sh noney to support a missionary in the lan ~oreigrr field, a poor young girl, sick Sot md destitute, without friends, was St.1 iiven out from a sick bed because ple ihe was a burden. Her case was fur eported and she was cared for at a tiv ublic institution at public expense mtil death relieved her, but if this ublic institution had not fortunate I y existed, she might have died in per he streets." p Kle The position of the Landmark is hal well taken. Charity begins at homeap id it strikes us that it would be in su~ etter taste and more in accordance due vith Divine teaching if we relieved fon he distress of the suffering poor in wei merca~ tefore we begin in the )ark Continent. Along this line, a eeent press dispatch relates a plan o athered by J. Pierpont Morgan toCo aise a fund of $2,000,000 for the 7 ,stablishment of a church in the tha 'hilippines. The movement is a ood one. Doubtless the inhabitants f the Philippines need a little re igion about as badly as any peopleNa n the face of the earth, but a great Leal more interest would be taken in Caj d:r. Morgan's charitable work if it Sur mbraced the relief of the needy G oor in ~Greater New York-thou- witl ads of whom are doubtless withinm l stone's throw of this rich man's D ifice. o Several weeks ago a New York ad >aper contained an account of the leath of a man from starvation on he streets of New York. For weeks - e ad sought employment and - ould not find one. Then the gnaw rg pangs of hunger overcame him nd he laid aside his self respect and >egan to beg from the passers hyN or food or a little money with which m o buy it. He was spurned con emptuusly and at last, weary and leart-sick and utterly e,xhanhed, he y down in a dry goods box. He w'as found there by the police and - aken to a hospital, but too late.E )eath had fastened its icy fingers ~ spon him. And yet to Mr. Morgan S1 ly the picture of the poor, deluded P 'ilipinos, thousands of miles away, a The true missionary spirit would ronpt Christian people to do more lissionary work at home as well as broad.

Land, has become so in the middle West that farm are looking elsewhere for a more rable location where they can me owners and not rente:rs. The thern States are offering some ptioually good bargains in land es and in locations are easily ssible to railroads. A demon tion of what these lands can pro 3 was exemplified in the fine ex t shown on the Iowa State Fair inds last week by the Southern [way. Fair visitors were amazed ee what can be raised in South States, and especially was this ceable in the many varieties of n grown.
