Fat SomctTines ITelp*.
Speaking in n paper on the subject
of tho various diet cures for fatness,
the eminent authority, Dr. Andrew
Wilson, says: "Doubtless starches and
sugars, represented in such vegetable
foods as bread, rice, tapioca and the
like, are fat formers. The living body
bns a power of making fat out'of that
which Is not fat. Aud along with this
point Is another?that fat itself docs
not go directly at least, to make fat In
the body. Fat Is, on the other hand,
a valuable nddition to tho diet of a corpulent
person, because It has a power
properly administered of burning off
j food excess. In more than on? system
of body reduction fat Is. therefore,
administered as an essential part aud
parcel of the diet cure."

Text: "Thy gentleness lir.tli mndo me
great."?Psalms, xviil., 33.
*J,'horo Is little in the popular Men of gentleness
to mttKc it desirable for God or man.
"Wo think of it as lucking in vigor and a
long way removed from greatness. So suggestive
is it of weakness and softness that
\>o want very little to do with it.
Our Ideas of gentleness need rectifying.
Wo speak often of a gentle horse. What
do wo mean l?y it? That horso is gontlo
that Is nervy and full of mettle, able to pass
anything on the road, and yet so easily

That mini is gentlo who lias tho strength of
ii Hercules mid tho tenderness of 11 womnu.
tioiitleuefs is power withholding itself rind
npendlug itself in goodness.
A good illustration of gentleness was
that on a Spanish battle ll?dd. A gnllnnt
Trench soldier's sword was uplifted to
strike ids foo to tho oil rill, hut ho saw us tho
sword was about to descend tliitt his antagonist
had but ouu nrin. Instantly ho
Stayed his sword, brought it to a salute
Vital rodo on.
Gentleness in it woman is love's mighty
magnet,and will nllrnet ils own from tho
cuds of the earth. A woman without it is
n monstrosity, a warrior with it is greater
far than lie who shows his power by l>ariling
villages, destroying erops, executing
prisoners. Tnogreat general at Appomattox,
considering the interests of tho men
in gray, treating litem as lils connlryinon,
silencing the salute already under way to
celebrate victory lest they should ho further
humiliated, and sending tho dofeateil
ones homo well fed anil equipped for labor
on the farms, declaring himself a gentle
man ns well ns a great soldier, and did
morn in that hour to mako his country
great than other great men have done in a
lifetime. Grant could have crushed the
Mouth in that hour; instead, ho caressed it
ns a mother her weak nud wayward child,
and incited it to tears.
Wo speak often or the power of God, but
it is the gentleness of God that works tins
greatest wonders. It is tills that makes
men great. Mco tho gentleness of God at
tile beginning. It is not. the strong arm,
but tlie tender heart, that concerns itself
witli fallen man. It is not a king's voice
Unit wo hear ill Kdeu, but a lather's.
I'ntliclie cry that, "Adam, Adam, where art
thouV" Wnen ('.oil came down in human

the faeo of Cod was upon Iliiu,"?Luke xi.,
10.
Concerning what bounded the boyhood
cf Christ, the prea 'her said, we have whole
libraries of boohs and whole Kulleries of
canvas and sculpture, but pen and pencil
and chisel have, with few exceptions,
passed l>y Christ, the village lad. "Vet, by
three oonjointed evldeuees," he said, "I
t hlnk we can eomo to as accurate an idea
of what Christ was as a boy as of what
Christ was as a man.
"First, we have tho Klblo account of Ilis
hovhood. Then we have t he prolonged account
of what Christ was at thirty years of
age. We have be: l ies an uninspired book
that was fortho first three or four centuries
after Christ's appearance received hy many
as inspired, and which gives a prolonged
account of Christ 's boyhood.

Hut that may mean that it was tho
hcKinnluK c>f that series of tnauhoo.1 miracles.
'Ta a word, I think that tho Xow Testament
is only a small transcript of what
Jesue said ami did. So wo nreat liberty to
believe or reject those parts of tho apocryphal

J)r. Till in ago referred to Christ ia tho
mechanic's shop, having been taught tho
earponter's trade l?y His father. Joseph.
"His hammer pouudiug. His saw vacillating.
His axo descending and tho perspiration

Then said the prenclior: "I show you a

browed lad, among tho long-bear lo 1,
white-haired, lilgh-Iorehoadod occlcslas*
tles of the Temple." Following
other ovents recorded la tho
apocrypha, tho preacher asked if they
were more wonderful than events recorded
in tho New Testament.
"If Christ wore divine was Ho not nblo
at ten or twelve years to describe tho
human system ns well as though lie had
been lifly years staudiii;; at an operating
table or in u dissecting room? In other
words, while I do not believe that any part
of the so-called apocryphal Ne w Testament
is inspired, I believe much of it is true, just
as I believe a thousand books, none of
which is divinely inspired."
"A child twelve voa.'s old, surrounded by
septuagenarians, lie asking llis own questions
and answering theirs. Lot mo introduco

This is the great ltabbln Simoon! This is

"lint while I seo the ohl theologians

what theology most wants is moro or i

to got along without us. If you want
to love and servo Go l, and bo good and
useful and get to heaven, I warrant that
nothing which occurred eight hundred
quinlillion of years ago will hinder you a

do us any harm; it is our own decrees of sin
and folly.
"You need not go any further hack in

everything man does is Imperfect. Our
own denomination made itself absurd by
trying to revise Its creed mailt* hundred*
of years ago. You might as well try to revise
your grandmother's lova letters. I
move a new creed for all tho evangelical
churches of Christendom, only three articles
in the creed, and no need of any
more.
"If I had all tho consecrated people of
all denominations of the earth on one great

It is iu tho piny woods and dolives
largo revenue from lumber and

does not seem to bo depressed on account
of tbo prtco. There avo largo
stocks of goods and tho stores are
thronged with customers and tho hotels
thronged with travoliiig-isulexmeu. for
whero tho carcass is the eagles will bo
githered together. I know there is
money there, for it is u sure sign of
prosperity when over 400 good people
turn out to a lecture and pay .'.0 cents
apiece for it. 1 was called thereby tho
Lamar Literary Society, which is another
sign not only of prosperity, but
of culture and refinement. A dead or

working its way tlioro from Mobile and
everybody is looking tip instead ol

I went to seo another friend
and tho old man followed mc thero and
stayed until ho was eailed lor and had
to go home. ile is nothing hut an old
netcro, but ho is as true and faithful as
a good oid do;*. J Jr. i'casloy, of La(irange

'i'lio doctor is a scientist in
liis way and showed 1110 an Indian's
skull that was taken from 11
mound near by, and bo called
uiy attention to Hi fact that the
skull had 110 seems or siituic.s in it.
These seams are very marked hi a white
man's skull, but tnero are none in the
Indian's. They are very smooth all
over and-very tain. 1 had never heard
of this dillerenee before. Crockett is a
very thriving and pleasant town of ;i, OO.t
people and lias, they say, the finest
negro college in tho State. It cost about
$tio,(K)U ami was built with missionary
iniiiipv of tho \?n llierii i'reshvtoMiin
church. That is ;ili r.olit, I reckon
1 ho colored part of thn South is trood
missionary ground, and if their charity
noes any jjood it is al: /i^ht, hut 1 have
iuy doubts. Ko fur as crooil c itizenship
is concerned I wouldn't uivo one uood
old-fashioned negro for a hundred of
the new set. There is o penitentiary
not far from hoio where several hundred
convicts, Vial? and black, are
con lined, and they have union# them
some very line musicians. ' was
invited by .lud^o (ithson to come
down to I'll - k and witness the
rehearsal and .1 was #oin#
hut the train was thico hours hehiuu
time and i missed the oppottunity. I
am told that tlieic. is notlun# liner in
the State or m tl.o South than iho
minstrel shows that these convicts jret
up and peop'.o llock thoro from all the
surrounding country*. Juclosed I send
von tho projrrammo and yo:i wiil see
that it is tirst c'.ass in all io-peels. Now
lnis is an object lesron for our ] cople
who are wre.-t'.iti# ovr tho convict
problem. There tire 1,> "> c >nv cN in
Texas. They are ahc.it hall and ha f,
whites ami Much, :i?I are divided into

Ire-cd, hut pursue their trades within

| Iuolibii rumpus about then- coiiii'ctiug
1 with free labor. Tho penitentiary is
self supporting and besides tbat the
convicts bavo a cbanco to reform,
'i bey bavo preaching aud Sunday |
schools aud minstrel allows and other
recreations to make tbeir lonely lives
endurable. .Theso people think tbat
confinement and hard Inbor is sufficient
punishment for the worst criiniuals and
that justice should bo tempered with
mercy, aud a chance given them to reform."
I regret tbat L did not attend
that minstrel show, for inauy of tlioso
whito convicts oxpected me aid were
disappointed.
Well, now, you will wonder why
there uro so tunny whites in prisou

is simply a means to a very

rati in that way become acquainted

that she gives no thought. Kho
