2 OXFOR6 PUBLIC LEDGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 27, 1908 Two Famous Sermcns. From the Scrap Book .Dr. Pod was an old-time English clerjrvinan, incumbent of a parish close to Cambridge, who had made himself very unpopular with a certain class of the university students by his forcible sermons against drunkenness. A short time aftei the delivery of one of these j)h'ilippics,the good doctor was walking toward Cambridge when he met sev eral undergraduates, who thought they saw a chance for revenge. Accordingly they stopped him, and, with mock po liteness urged him then and there to . deliver a sermon. They insisted on his preaching to them from a hollow tree, on a text of their own selection the one word "Malt." Resistance being useless, the doctor quietly obeyed, and assuming his pul pit manner, delivered v the following sermon: "Beloved, let me crave your atten tion. I am a little man, and come at a short notice to preach from a short text to a thin congregation in an un worthy pulpit. Beloved, my text is 'Malt.' I cannot divide it into sen tences,there being none;nor into words, "there being hut one. I must, therefore, divide it into letters. "M is moral. A is allegorical. L. is literal. T is theological. "The moral is to teach you good manners. Therefore, M my masters, A all of you, L leave off, T -tippling. "The allegorical is when one thing is spokeu of and another meant. The thing spoken of is mall; the thing meant is the spirit of malt, which you make M your meat, A your appar el, L your liberty, and T your trust. "The literal is, according to the let ters, M much, A ale, L little, T thought; "The theological is according to the effects it works: M murder in some, A adultery in other, L looseness of 1 ife. in most,and T treachery in many. "I shall conclude the subject, first by way of exhortation: M my mas ters, A aJI ot you, Li listen to my text. , "Second, by way" of caution : M--my masters, A all of you, L look for T the truth. . : ' " ': ":v" "Thirdly, by way of communicating the truth, which is this: A drunkard is the annoyance of modesty, the spoil ot civil ty, the destruction of reason, the robber's agent, the almshouse benefac tor, his wife's sorrow, his children's trouble, his own shame, his neighbor's scoff, a walking swill-bowl, the picture of a beast, the monster of a man." Then Dr. Dod descended from his arboreal milnit and resumed his walk, leaving a very shame-faced and crest- . fallen congregation to follow at a re- spectful distance. He was never way- laid again to deliver extemporaneous 8.r.uons. Dean Swift's sermon, while very much biiefer, was quite as much to the J point. , On one occasion he delivered a charity sermon, eloquent and im- pressive,but so long that it tired many of his hearers and so hurt the contri- bution. As he was to deliver another shortly aiterward in another church, the local authorities were apprehensive of disastrous results,and dropped hints fl0 fl,Q onrmn lj vhj xsv miuiuu j long the amount of the collection might t i --.-j kuuci. Asvau. kjvii t iijcicijf biluuu auu said: "I won't tire them this time." Ascending the pulpit, he looked lown upon a crowded congregation eager to hear the famous wit and -oW anA i.nnmm I,,, f "He that giveth to the poor lendeth to the Lord." "Now, my friends, he began, "you have heard the terms of the loan. If you are satisfied with the security, down with the dust!" Then he turned and descended the pulpit without another word. The 1 r congregation saw the point, and the collection was a phenomenal one. Cures Blood Skin Diseases Eczema Greatest Blood Purifier Free.

Ilobgood, Jr. an old Granville boy has announced his eandidacy for the office pf Solicitor for the Ninth Judicial District to succeed Hon. A.L.Brooks, who has announced his purpose at an early day to resign. I am addressing you to bespeak for Col. Hobgood the cordial support of yourselves and of your valuable paper. Myself born and reared in Granville county, the history and traditions of whose people for virtue, intelligence and civic worth are dear to me, 1 feel naturally a keen interest in the success - f and welfare of one owning a like birth right. I need not recite to you Col. Hob- good's excellent fitness for the duties of the office to which he has aspired a varied experience gof nearly ten years as a successful lawyer; the pos sessor of a strong, energetic mind, well trained; a man of the highest personal integrity, whose life in his adopted county has illustrated the sterling vir tues of the people amongst whom he was reared. I shall heartily appreciate from yourselves and other friends of mine in Granville activeand cordial support of his candidacy, in the confident as surance that with such support he is certain to be the successor of Mr. Brooks, and that his administration of the office will reflect the wisdom of his selection. He will go to the' Conven tion with Guilford's solid vote and I feel certain that his native county will not do a less part by him. With kindest regards and great re spect, I am, Yours very trnly, A. B. KIMBALL Fifty Years of Love. The following account of the Hicks j Golden Wedding, written by the Rev. J. N". Cole, was taken fiom the Ral eigh Christian Advocate: It was a brimming cup that two young hearts drank from fifty years ago it is a brimming cup yet only fuller aud sweeter. It vpas two brave hearts that hand in ha-td,;: began, their wedded journey fifty years ago-7-it is ' two brave hearts that now, hand in hand, nuraue their iournev toward the . . " . . eternal City, lhen they sang their matm song-of faith and hop(j now they sing tneir vesper song of praise and trust. In those vears affone the t -j , jii r 1 j JLord mated them for a long and pros- 0 r perous journey, ne gave to eacn a great gift, lie must have loved them then, and He has loved them all the wav: And thev have loved and kent their tryst with one another and with . ' . . . . . I riim. V ell have they journeyed and well have they wrought the will of God Uu the evening of Wednesday the 4th instant in the parlors of the Ox- ford Orphan Asylum, Colonel and Mrs. W. J. Hicks received their friends in celebration of the fiftieth an niversary of their marriage. I felt honored to be named among the friends whose presence was desired in thatfes tive hour. . It was a scene not often looked upon and not to be forgotten two such snirts coming to the fiftieth i l jj i i Ti BtQium 01 meir weaaea nie. xnere they stood, he the noblest type of a , , . . , man sne tne gentlest iasnion .or a woman back of them fifty years of mercies fifty years of struggles and of triumphs fifty years of love. W. J. Hicks has lived a great life. He made a good start, the start of no Ul J l,a l100 Kno fi the blood. There has never been an act of his that swerved a hairs breadth from the truth the thought of a dis- honorable deed has never cast its shad ow across his pure mind a dishonest dime has never found its way into his I till he has earned by the sweat of his brow the bread that he has eaten I and the goods that he has gathered, Back of this man as he stands to-day in the mellow evening of ripening o I years is a life devoted to honor and to the cause of human progress. W. J. Hicks has done two things he has shown the world the true pattern of a man, and he has worked the works of a man. The ideal and the real have both alike been fulfilled in him. He has been in a veiT loftJ sense a build a builder of homes for men and a , t i- builder or character ior (jod and in both he has built true. ISo man has ever been brought close to this man without feeling that his own ideal was elevated and that the lines of his own character were made truer. A chief citizen a high Mason a servant of God, he has lived a notable life and has wroughta good work. In hislator years he has been called to the head of one of the greater institutions in our State, and he has shown eminent ca pacity and fitness for administering its affairs. It is a place that calls for a man., in the largest measurement of a man, and he has. filled it. And' such a life has been possible to him because of the good woman who stands by his side and lias been the gentle partner of his bosom and the " mother of his children and the keeper, of his home. As friends look upon them in this hal lowed evening hour they can but wish for them the continued mercies of our God and other added years and then the final approach to heaven's gate and the abundant entrance.

About eigh teen mouths ago I had grown so much worse that I could not digest a crust of coin bread and could not retain pnvthing on my stomach. I lost 2s lbs; in fact I made up my mind that I could not live but a short tima, when- a friend of mine recom mended Kodol. I consented to try it to please hira and I was better in one day. I now weigh more than I ever did in my life and am in better health than for many years. Kodol did it. I keep a bottle con stantly, and write this hoping that human ity will be benefitted.

Its name "Golden Medical Discovery" was suggested by one of. its most import ant and valuable ingredients Golden Seal root. Nearly forty years ago, Dr. Pierce dis covered that he could, by the use of pure, triple-refined glycerine, aided by a cer tain degree of constantly maintained heat and with the aid of apparatus and appliances designed for that purpose, ex tract from our most valuable native me dicinal roots their curative properties much better than, by the use of alcohol, so generally employed. So the now world famed "Golden Medical Discovery," for the cure of weak stomach, indigestion, or dyspepsia, torpid liver, or biliousness and kindred derangements was first made, as it ever sinfte has bVn, without a particla of alcohol in its mafte-up. A glanceVajab.efuX list of its ingredi ents, printed Cnvefv bottle-wrapper, will show that it is haaae from the most valuable medicinal roosfound growing in our American forestSJ All these in gredients have received the strongest gn doFsement from threading medical ex-reseEgOSaJ-itprs nn. yia, Medjs'fi who r penman pnri thpm as tho vpt-v htpit rptTipfiips tor the diseases for which "Yininon Mpnical i )isrovfrv " is advised: nittie dook ot thes ese endorsements ha been compiled by Dr. E.
