The Jews had wept biiierly over the captiv'ty. It had huml:'ated anC. grieved them beyond expression. And their yet rnins hearts found con Bbllation a.id hope on-v .0 the prom ises of restoration and return-. B it years passed and with i'.im the old eKcaptives, and many wh' had been young when they ca ne over, Their children now took the'r inaees. Men wfip hardly remembered or ' perhaps neTer saw the land of their fathers. They- were kindly treated where they - Were. - They- were - prosperous.. Go ing away meant breaking up old homes and all of toll and struggle that is" involved In beginning 'life over. The wonder to me is, not that some preferred (o remain where they were, but that so many went back to Jerusalem'. Why did they do It? The word says: God Stirred their spirits to go. Hbelieve that this means that they were stirred wjth the consciousness of a mission nor one nation's thwarts his purpose; God was with them to insure success. To stop and ask the question, what if there had ,be n no return, fsJio'tt'M thrill ns. oven with the th,?jh' that the earth t on- IivJs and the fullness thifiF, the world an I they that dwell therein; that His' hard shapes the history of .!ie nations as well as the individual life; that neither one man's failure nor one nation's thwarts his purpose; for his ptrposes are sure' and His "will steadfast." . CARD OF THANKS Captain ' Thomas Guard and family desire to extend their sincere thanks to all those who so kindly assisted them in the sickness and death of Mrs. Guard. During her long Illness the family were the receplents of many kind attentions and services. For these the family is profoundly thankful. Also thanks are extended for the beautiful floral tributes do nated by friends In this city and in Norfolk. IN LOVING MEMORY The Death Angel of Heaven visit ed the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. W.

"Xotiiln;: ever happens In this fam ily," crunillcd Molly Evans as she s:it by lli!. i'1'on window uud watched uu automr.bile disappear in a cloud of dust. She knew the girls who had just passed in the machine. They had waved their hands gayly at ber. but she wished they hadn't. She wished she hadn't seen them. It was no "fun to watch other people enjoy them selves. ."You expect too ranch," replied her sister Kate, who sat near by trying to make a last season's dress look like new. "There are lots of things that might happen that you wouldn't like at all." Kate was older than Molly and bad managed to evolve for herself a phi losophy that made life easier for her than for her restless sister. ."Just give up and stop expecting things and they will come to you without any trouble." she added, with a serenltywhfeh, it must be confessed. scarcely matched her Inmost feelings at that moment, for it is not the easl est thing In the world to make a last year's sleeve appear as the latest fash Ion model. on. that's all very well to talk. Kate." burst In Molly.' "but what good has "it ever done? Here we are grab bine along In the same old humdrum way. i on've always been an ange' and given np to other people, but you're not ny nearer your ambition than ever, and Just look at me!" Kate did loo!; nt her affectionately. Molly was nineteen and Kate two years older. They hnd tnken care of themselves for four years, Molly by teaching: musk- and a class of little children, ns their town had no kinder garten, and Kate by fine sewing and embroidery. The hitter's ambition was to be n tniimv'. nurse, but that took so much time, mid she could not afford to give tip lior present income even for the pros-pet of a better one 1n years to come. She was always called upon when il:err was sickness and re sponded cheerfully, though usually her compensation consisted solely of thanks verbnlly expressed. Never mind, dear," replied the opti mistic Kate. "Something will happen before you think maybe today. Ev erything comes to her who waits. Sup pose you walk 'over to Ferncliff and take this waist to Mrs. Dean. I prom lsed it to ber today, and it's all done up ready to go." Molly arose and shook her enrly brown head, smoothed out her pink frock and took the package. She kissed Kate before she started out. but there wasn't, much animation in ber walk. - "Something nice Is on the way, said Kate. "I feel it in my bones. Molly. laughed and ran down the steps. ' She broke off a big spray of lilac as she passed the bush -by the gate and carried It along with her. The scent of the blossom brought memories that were both sweet and sad. A year afro, leaning over the gate in the moonlight by that same lilac bush; Dick Foster had first said. "Molly, I love you," and a new world of sweetness and life had been opened for her. Two months ago they had quarreled and separated. Whv? Why do lovers ever ouarrel? Do thev know? Does an.vbodv know? The most foolish nnd futile reasons on earth jealousy, false pride and some times , a tentative desire fo gain the mastery. With .Molly and Dick It was mostly jealousy, with hardly any foun dation, and after that a foolish resolve on the part of each not to give in. "1 will come back when you send for mer announced Dick. "I will never send for you," declared Molly. And that was the situation, and that was why Mollle Evans.; young and pretty and healthy, with every right to be happy, was taking a lonely walk and feeling herself the niost abused girl in toe world. j "Maybe Kate Is right." she thought (to herself.. "I'll do tilings for other 1 people and try to fnr'f myself. I ! think I'd like to lie a nun anyway. I . rove i nose wnite en pp." A tired looking woman passed her jusf then, nnd a sudden impulse made Molly hand the lilac spray to her. Th woman looked surprised, but Molly hurried pn without waiting for thnnks. As she approached n little cottage' that stood near the road she heard a child's screams, and. the same impulse made her rush around the house in the direc tion of the noise. There In the kitchen stood n torrifliil little girl trying to put out n fire which had started from some burning oil and which had Just leaned to the child's dress ns Molly burst in the door. To snatch a rug from the floor and pqt out the latter was the work of an Instant, and in a few mo menta more the other flames were quenched. After It was all ever the neighbors rushed in and explained that the little girt kept boose while her mother went oat to work. Tbe damage waa slight, and neither Molly nor the child waa hart, bat when Miss Evans started oat again she waa a bit palo and shaky. "Wen, omethlnj happened,' air way." she told herself as she went LATINO OF CORNER STONE KNOTTS ISLAND long. She left the package at Ferncliff, which was the finest estate In the neighborhood and stood not far from Dick Foe tar's home. 8he decided to walk through the village on the way back and had passed the postofllee, tbe dru;j store, of whlcli the town had but one. nnd hrul stopped to look In the window of the littlo bookshop, where some new music wes displayed, when she beard a commotion and turned around to se? people hurrying in all directions.

Directly across from whore Molly stood was nn open grass, square where a dozen little children, some hardly paore than sand people, and though Toward tnem AT babies, were playing. he came, and Molly'B heart grew cold within her. Not a man moved except to throw a stone at the mad beast, and even the little ones seemed oblivious of tbe danger that threatened them, Leaping, the dog gained the square, and tbe next Instant the maddened mouth would have snapped at some helpless child, and Molly was there as soon as he w as.

On September 20th the cornerstone of the new Methodist Episcopal church at Knotts Island was laid with Masonic ceremonies. At about liine o'clock In the morn ing the crowd had begun to gather, and before noon there were two thou sand people on the ground to partic ipate In and to enjoy the d.iy's pro ceedings. At ten o'clock the Eliza beth City !;ind arrived and through out the day provided tho crowd wiih music of a high order. At noon the corner stone was laid after which the dinner was served to th crowd. Enough had been pre pared to serve three or four thou- the two thousand present made a heroic at tack upon the good things spread be fore them, much of the bounty was left untouched. After the dinner there were ad dresses by the pastor of the chursh, and by Judge Keeling from the city of Norfolk. Both addresses were heartily enjoyed by all. The Sunday school enrollment Is now nearing the three hundred mark, and the rhurcht it is hoped, is on the eve of a great growth and develop ment , . There appeared an article recently In the Princess Ann Review saving 'hat he lnyi:.rf the corner stone .vas a disappointment. We know of no ground for such a statement,. The stone was laid, the ceremonies con nected with Its laying were most ap propriate, and the work will stand for generations to come.

Upon the theory that tbe metric sys tem can only be made popular in this country by adopting its decimal plan, while changing the present, names of familiar weights and measures as little as possible, the folio wirg eliauges have been suggested: Let the yard be made equal to the meter: let the foot be made 'the fourth Instead of the third part of a yard r.fid let It have ten in stead of twelve inches: .let the pound be made equal to half a kilogram; let the quart equal the liter: let the ton be 1.000 kilograms; let the pint, gallon. pe k nnd bushel be defined In terms of j the quart. In this way. it Is pointed out. the inch would lie shortened less than ' per cent, but it Is admitted that even this slight change would Incon venience mechanical engineers and machine manufacturers.
