Satisfaction (ruaranteedy mim hoof Fiim SOLI) BY kflil neneaa wwm WELDON, N c DAVID P. DELLINGER Cherryvllle. N. C. OPENING HIS EYES. he Had Tried to Clay the "Dis tinguished Christian Gentle man." and Had Been Worth less In the Kingdom. A certain young minister, serv ing ti is first charge, was hard press ed to find teachers enough for the Sabbath school. So he went over the list of church members until he came to the name of Judge An-d-evs, who, he had been told, was considered the most learned law yer in the State. After some days of timid self que1 ioning, the minister look cou.uge to call upon the judge. "I have come to see you," he said, "about a class of boys in the Sabbath school. They have re cently lost their teacher, and 1 wish you would lake them." "What! I lake a class of boys in the Sabbath school ?" ' Yes, sir. You could hold the boys. They all respect you great ly. You have no idea what a hero you are 10 them." "But but I teach a class of boys? No, no; I could not. It's a very busy term in court." "Bui it's the busy people judge, w ho do the best work, and we need a splendid teacher For thai class. Wont you try iiV" "Couldn't think ot it, No, no. I couldn't possibly." And the judge closed the inter view rather abruptly. But Sabbath morning the minis ter was surprised 10 receive a call From Judge Andrews. He began with strange hesitation: "I have called to say that I would try that class. I thought it all out after you left. It was shear pride that made me refuse. I thought I was too great a man to teach a class of boys I tell you, sir, I ant a hypocrite. I have tried lo play ihe 'distinguish ed Christian gentleman,' and I have been worthless in the King dom. Put me to work. I do not know how to teach boys; I am too ignorant, But I mean 10 learn." At the close of the first year in the Sabbath school Judge Andrews said to the minister: "Teaching that class has been the greatest thing thai ever happened to me. I never had any definition of service before. 1 shall never cease to thank God for opening my eyes to see myself as I really was." How do you feel about it? Adult Bible Class Monthly.

HAUNHS & (IKHUOKY, Weldon, N. C. Fuk Bimchtt In Mart Than 1 2i Cilia Site v: -Valve Motor ANGEL AT THE GATE In a vision of the sunset, in its glorious golden tide, Once I saw a wall of jasper; saw the gales were open wide, And my soul rejoiced wilh singing, for o'er earthly holts and bars Sped my spirit's lonely yearning to the welcome of the stars, And I saw ihe long procession winding home o'er hill and plain; They, the loved, the lost, the loving, welcoming their own again, Heard the music and the feasting when our Father's house is tilled; When the Master heads the table and the failed calf is killed, Then I clasped the Book of Promise to my heart as treasure rare, Well 1 knew the gems within it, yet 1 traced again with care, Yes, the gates are always open, and set on every side; Open eastward, northward, southward, to the westward, welcome wide, But He knows the way is weary, and His triends are fain to Fear; So He set the fairest angels at each pearly gateway near, Just to welcome you, beloved, take this word where'er you roam, Just to welcome in His loved ones, as we, one by one come home. REASSURANCE. Pulse of My Heart, consider love like ours ! Faced by it see, ill-fortune shrinks and cowers, Then flees dismayed, a lesser love 10 slay By cruel attacks thai drain its strength away, Kingdoms may loiter, planets crash and fall True love survives, and triumphs over all. Time cannot steal the magic from Love's kiss Envy, nor disbelief, disturb Love's bliss; Life's thorny byways wring from Love no moan, Just so he does not tread ihe path alone ! Love can bear hunger Love can go unshod; There is no stronger thing than Love, save God. Space will not serve to hold us, dear, apart, My soul shall cleave lo thine, where'er thou art. In pleasant places, on the perfumed air Hear ihou Love's message I have placed it there ! Or in a moment tense with doubt and pain, Wail for Love's whisper il will come again ! If Death should one day claim me for his own, Shed thou no tears; but, when we are alone. Do then but press thy lips O Love, to mine And though my soul hath tasted Life Divine, Thy dear caress shall stir my pu!e anew I will come back I will come back to you ! THE SOUTH. THE SOUTH is a land thai has known sorrows; it is aland that has broken the ashen crust and moistened it with tears; a land scarred and riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with ihe graves oF her dead; but a land of legend, a land of song, a land of hallowed and heroic memories. To that land every drop ol my blood, every fiber of my being, every pulsation of my heart, is consecrated forever. I was born oF her womb; I was nurtured at her breast, and when my last hour shall come, I pray God that I may be pillowed upon her bosom and rocked to sleep within her tender and encircling arms.
