First, he told the crowd it was too cold for thm to take off their hats to God; and the Sag: , and ; ev^bne wore his hat except -when ^Uy prayed or when Ackley play^- “Ajnerica," When Billy left the yard it was not antil Ma Sunday had hauJed the honaeward-bound pennant to the mast head, he said he Would corae back an other day and perhaps use oi^e of his w^h days as he terms Monday to ro- cruit a crew of gunners to jpin him aiid shoot tip the battleship booze. After “YanVee Doodle," "Dixi aiid .‘^4meri;a ”had been sun^ by tliii bluejackets, officers’ wives ar>d even Captain Smith, Billy annou.ncei that he had not come to talk about naval vonstruction.

He then re minded them of the woras of Presidei-.t Lincoln at Gettysburg and told them they did right to cherish the niem- ories of the great men of the army and navy. “We never forget the great gener als who have served us and tJieir country, but 1 want to tel! you men," here he looked towards the bluejack ets, who had climbed to the rafters of the building much as they would have climbed into the rigging of th: newest dfeiidnaught, “that we don't think much of those who leave us only a tombstone and a notice in the news papers when they 'He.

He told them abont the cabinet meeting: .President M--- JKinley held in Washington the day the Oregon reached the Spanish Beet on the Eastern coast, and of the .re mark the martyred President was said to have maae when he asKea nis cao- inet if they thought Captain Clark would fight. IF WE DON’T FIGHT. "Did he fight?” Billy called to the met! in the blacksmith shop. "Say, he made old Spaiii dip her rag and beat it. And we must light the sam« way for God. If we were not fighting for God the white and blue of that old flag would all dissolve into red as they would if we had no laws from good old Uncle Sam.” “Ill be back some day,” hi callcti as Ma Sunday came to remind him he should not stop to let the photogr&ph- ers take pictures of him as he might catch cold, and the remark that hs would be back was calle.i from the toor of the automobile jUst before Ua closed every port hole and order ed full speed ahead fr home.—Phila delphia Pre.s2.

It isn't the wid- dom of winning nsen, it isn’t the wia- .doiii uf vitming money, it isn’t the wisdom of winning fame. It’s the wisdom of waning souls. The wise man says there is a God.

"I have never seen .such Republican activity in North Carolina sit an off- soii.son a.s there is now. The Demo cratic fe.nces should be kept up in e ery precinct, and the activities of the Republicans checked by counter- move.s.” That :s what we have been saying when we have seen the fence destroy ers at work. The state-wide primary will cost the Democratic party twenty- five thou.sand votes. In some districts it will cause an absolute change. All this clap-trap and monkey work in dulged in by ambitious loaders; by politicians anxious to exploit them selves. «t]I cost a heavy toll. The average Democratic politician is too egotistical to see or hear or lis ten. During the campaign in this county, almost beardles.« cubs were out telling the old soldiers that they wanted the constitution changed in or der to take out the word “rebel.” \nd the old soldiers, the men wfeo marched with Lee: the men who stood before the fire of shell and flame; the me-n who walked to the martial music made by the boys in grey and charg ed the ramparts of the enemy—told [these beardless and presuming med dlers that they didn’t want it chang ed—that they were rebels and gloried in it. So that didn’t work. And they tried to put over an amendment that would allorw the taac- dadger to keep on dodging—by pay ing alMut one third what the hone.st man had hitherto paid. But that did not work. Now they are taUsing state-wide primary, and when the lepslatore puts it over it fumiabes a death blow t'> the majority in several con«ressiosal try oi many of the mills not escape the bankruptcy court."—Fairbrother’s Everything. -o- ANC THEY V,:A.\TED MORE iPA-Y!

The mule, he lives on anythir.g; He’s got a lovely voice to sing. And when he lets it loose at uoon. It sounds like buzz saws out cf tune. He stands around with sleepy eye And looks as if he’s like to die. But when there’s any dying done Xt ain't the mute, I’i! bet a bun.

Yru can’t learn how to win souls by attending a convention. '.When I w.is playing ball I used to attend college at Xoithwestcrn V.niversity. ‘in tne Winter time, and it was my delight to watch the lile saying crew': prJicticitij down on the shore of Lake Michigan. They used to take the boats out and launch them in the surf aiid row jur to a mast in the lake, planted ther? by the United States Goverriment. This mast represented the inast of a wrecked ship. The ci-ew left two or three of their number out on this mast and then row-ed back to shore and oat with their mortar and fired a IiKe out to the mast. To the line W'as attach ed a half inch rope and to the hall- inch inanila rope, and when this was fastened to the mast the breeches byny u'rta im iinrl t.he men bioug’ht to shore. I used to think that if there were any fellows out there they would drown before the crew savea them. And so they would, for the crew was just practicing. It was on parade, li Was going through, the motions. So with the church today. God’-s plan was for every soul sav ed to be a soul -winjicr. But the plan is perverted today. When travelfcrs on eastern desert exhaust thcir water supply the plan is for all mem bers of the party to spread out each as far from the other as his voice will carry. When one of the party strikes water he crie.s.. “Water, water.” at the top of hi.'i voice, to the men on each side uf him and they to the men next to them and so on. It i.s .said that the angels in heav en rejoici more at the winning of om> -^*L-t.han_/or ninety-nine souls that don’t need saving. !t’s my de.sire to keep heaven busy with rejoicincr. I’m out to make hell mad and heaven sing. It roquii-es uii etl'ort, to win men to ths church- You need couragc. It is hard to save souls because the devil is doing ail •he can agair^ you. You’ll seek excu.^es. You’ll say, "Oh, I’m so un nerved today. I have b«n coming down to the tabernacle too much I ’ It’s surprising how many people can lie about it. You know what God said about liars. He said all whore- mong’ers and sorcerers and liars had their place in. the lake that l.urneih with fire. It tkes courage to just lead a Chris tian life. I suppose I read the story of Noah and the ark twenty times before I learned this lesson, ffoah wrked 120 years on tie ark, and when he finished of all the people only his wife and his three sons and their -wives believed that the flood was com ing. When they cnjcified Jesus O.rist He only had a paltry band of 120 fol lowers. That’s the way to-day,— Philadelphia Press.
