Paul re- | turned to Ephesus after having been to Antioch that he might report on the second missionary journey. Three years were now spent in Ephesus as the third journey is en tered upon. After three months the school of Tyrannus became the general meeting place. Fine results came from the two years of pleaching and teaching at that center. In fact, many points in the eurrouding country were reached and these places were later addressed by both Paul and John in their letters. The bonfire at Ephesus revealed the growing influence that Paul gain ed over the superstitious who used all sorts of charms to try and off set evil. It was quite like the rabbit’s foot idea with some today, and ; there are still many who give up good money to have a palmist or other | fortune teller hoodwink them. Multitudes brought their charms and soothsaying books for the fire and about $100,000 worth was destroyed. All this cut into the sale of the images of Diana, whose massive tem ple and licentious worship was dominant in Ephesus. The makers of these idols had their part in starting the uproar as the people rushed to the opjen temple and shouted themselves hoarse as they cried “Great is Diana of the Ephesians.” Paul wanted to talk to the crowd but cooler minds dissuaded him and Paul decided to work elsew r here. . Mar. O' War 30th, valued at $12,000 by his owner, Ed. ‘Hofland, Menominee, 'Wis., won the highest award at the St. Louis show. He (f shown with- his breeder, William Schmidt.

MAIN STREET. McCORMICK. S. C. 33 THU FAMILY .DOCTOR JOHN JOSEPH GAINES, M.D. MORE HEARTS Living Almost in the door of a great city, I naturally notice their vital ctatistics, and their prevailing causes of death as reported in the news papers. Listen: Within the last seven days five sudden deaths have occurred, the victims ranging from fifty to sixty years of. age. “Heart disease” was the newspaper report, doubtless based on the of ficial death certificate. And the mad, unthinking chase after the dollar keeps right on. “It’s the same old story. The business man ari&s from bed in the morning—probably retired at midnight or later—he hastily swallows a 6up of coffee and a half-cooked dish of somebody’s “health food.” He is too busy to fool with a good breakfast; besides, the wife isn’t Up yet; it’s half-past eight. He rushes down town to the office, or to the car-barn, garage, store or what-have-you. Customers are there waiting. He grills till twelve- thirty; then the lunch-counter, a miserable excuse for a meal—it just isn’t one. Back to the 'grind for the second session. Six o’clock—he hurries home—ah, dinner! Beefsteak, fried potatoes, coffee, many condiments for stimulation; fritters, omelettes, gravies— a monster feed and plenty of time; it reassures the tired body and nerves. The desserts challenge the capacity of old King Cole, the merry old soul. The tubby daddy gets short-winded in time,—but he looks so capable with his ample bay-window. He stimulates more—struggles on and on to the fatal fifty to sixty decade, shorter of breath, maybe gets elected to a seat in the city council—drops dead! Just heart disease; too bad. Is life of so little worth? I wish I could impress upon my neigh bors the danger of the six o’clock dinner! * N OLD MAIDS It had been a very pleasant crossing of the ocean and all of us who had been passengers had become well acquainted. As the big ship moved slowly to her pier we stood on the promenade deck looking into the mass of up-turned faces, each hoping to discover a relative or friend. Suddenly a woman beside me pegan to wave her handkerchief, and, from the pier, an old lady waved back. “That’s my aunt,” the woman confided to me. “Dear old Aunt Julia. My husband sent me a wireless that he is sick in bed with grippe. My mother is in the South. I was afraid there would be no one to meet :ne. “But I might have known. Aunt Julia never fails. Blessed old maid, she mothers us all. How could we ever live without her!” On the pier I was introduced to Aunt Julia. A trim little figure of a woman bubbling over with unselfishness, ladened with an extra coat and a pair of overshoes—just in case her loving niece might happen to oe cold. Having just come from France, and feeling very continental, I bent over and kissed her hand. She blushed like a girl. “You musn’t try to flatter an old lady,” she said. But it was no attempt at flattery; it was an,act of reverence. She is a member of the noblest clans in the world. I had been reading, on the boat, a book about the Bronte family. Mr. Bronte was a self-centered country parson, who wore out his wife by making her the mother of six children in six years. Left with the motherless brood on his hands, he cast around for help, and thought of his wife’s maiden sister. She, poor thing, was living peacefully in a lovely little town, with an income sufficient to provide comfortably for her simple wants. There was every selfish reason why she should stay just where she was. Yet, at his summons, she did not hesitate. She cast aside every per sonal consideration, came down to the bleak parsonage in its ugly part of England and proceeded, for the rest of her life, to devote her self to those children. How many millions of similar instances have there been in history! What a priceless wealth of affection is poured out on the other peo ple’s children by aunts and nurses and cooks and teachers to whom Fate gives no children of their own! How could humanity conduct its txistence without them? I thought of these things as ! watched Aunt Julia wrap, up her niece and hurry away. * I lifted my hat reverently and waved them good-bye.

There are some pains a mother cannot pat away. But there’s quick comfort in Castoria! For diarrhea, and other infantile ills, give this pure vegetable preparation. Whenever coated tongues tell of consti pation; whenever there’s any sign of sluggishness. Castoria has a good taste; children love to take it. Buy the gen uine—with Chas. H.
