-WE WORE THE CRAY."
(By CoL W. R. Daniel, Dill is, Tex-)
"(To the Confederate living and dead.)
How grand and noble wu the sight
Wheo men who wore the fray
Stood side by iiJ with bayonets bright
And eager fcw the fray!
We left our homes in sixty-one.
Our young hearts light and gay;
Twas in that year the war begun:
Twas then we donned the gray.
We donned it at our country's call,
Our Southland to defend:
We donned it. though brave men must
fall.
Till cruel war should end.
We wore it on the batV.e held.
We wore it in the camp;
We wore it till compelled to leld
And homeward hail to tramp.
We wore it in th Miinmer da.
In winter's chilling blast:
We wore it in the burning rav.
We wore it to the last
We wore it in the snow and sleet.
We wore it in the rain:
We wore it too w ith bleeding teet.
Our country s cause to gaiu.
We wore it then, we wear it still:
We wore it though we fell;
We loved it then and always w ill.
The gray we love so well;
We wear it still and always will
As long as lite shall last;
We'll wear it on and on until
Our weary days have passed.
The vears are gone and time has
passed .
Our country now at peace.
We hear no more the bugle blast.
Nor wish for war to cease.
When lite is o'er and we at rest.
Our forms are laid away.
It will be said: " They did their best:
Thev wore the Dixie gray."
We stand beside the lonely grave
And drop a silent tear;
With heads bow ed down foi men so
brave
We breathe a fervent prayer.
No more they hear the bugle call.
"To arms," at reveille;
So now we let the curtain fall
On those who wore the gray.
And now, dear comrades, one and all.
Life's journey soon must end.
We soon will answer to the call.
Our souls to heaven ascend.
Kind friends will lay us gently down
'Neath mother earth and clay.
Above our forms a little stone
Will tell: "We wore the grav."

The Danger in The Wave.
(Charlotte Observer.
Tliciv is no doubt about the
fact that the country is upon the
eve of a great era of prosperity.
There is danger in it. however.
The danger lies in the prosper
ous times may invite too much
recklessness in business, too
much fast living, too much in
vestment in automobiles and
bring on a panic. Lack of con
servatism in the face of too
much prosperity involved the
country in a panic in the fall of
19()7, and unless greater finan
cial caution is now observed, the
return of prosperity may be
eventually followed by a return
of stringency and hard times.
The country is in good shape to
welcome the prosperity wave,
but the business world should
have a caution and not "lose its
head."
The Men Who Succeed.
as heads of large enterprises are men
of great energy. Success, to-day de
mands health To ail is to fail. It's
litter folly for a man to endure a week
run-down, half alive condition when
Electric Bitters will put him right on
his feet in short order. Four bottles
did me more real good than any other
medicine I ever took, writes (.'has. B.
Allen, Syl vania, Gi, "After years of
suffering w ith rheumatism, liver trou

IBLE students aud Bible st tcK
ars have generally eiresssi

j er spoke always to the -.nl-
tn b.vmholie language, "dark sa v iug-."
I the weaning of w hich they rsreh ui
I derstood Auother Scripture l'it'"-iD-
us that the rvnsou was that the t:u
invitation w.is not intended for the
multitudes, but merely for th conse
crated Those who acceptI the IavhI as the
Savior, and took iim tli insel.es Ui,
required vow of faithfulness In vrnlk
lug in His foot
steps unto death,
were granted spe
cial enlightenment:
"To you It Is given
to know the mys
tery of the King
doiu of Heaven
but to outsiders
these tblugs are
spoken In para
bles. that they
intent not see ami understand."
The entire matter is clarified when
we recognize the difference between
the salvntiou of the world to the tin
man nature, during Messiah's reitu or
a thousand years, and the salv:iti"ii
provided for the F.lect during this Aire
The Apostles Jssua' Mouthpiacos.
It has leeu claimed that the do
trines of Christianity can be letter
gleaned from the writings of the A
ties than from the sayings of Jesus
There Is considerable truth In this
claim, and the rensou Is manifest
Jesus' words were addressed mainly
to the multitudes, and when He ml
dressed the disciples lie could not dis
cuss eveu with thetn deep, spiritual
truths, because they had not been be
gotten of the Holy Spirit, and there
fore could not understand spiritual
things Jesus declared. "I have many
things to tell you. but ye cannot bear
them now "
"After Ye Were Illuminated."
St. Paul gives the key In one of his
Epistles, saying. "After ye were i I In
mlnated. ye endured a great fight o
afflictions" (Hebrews s. 42. 1 The II
lumination received was the begetting
of the Holy Spirit. -I Cor ii. 12.
This has been true of all the meni
bers of the Body of Christ throughout
this Age. Each one presenting his
body a living sacrifice has been uc
cepted by the great Advocate, aDd pre
sented as a part of His own Offering;
then the offerer has been begotten of
the Holy Spirit to be a New Creature
In Christ
It Is to these New Creatures that the
statement to made, "All things are
yours, for ye are Christ's, and Christ
Is God's." To these the Bible has
promised, "He will show you things to
come." These are to be guided Into
all Truth as It becomes due. For
these the Word of God Is a Storehouse,
from which "things both new and old''
are produced under the Splrifs gul
dance, as they become "meat in due
season."
Even these must make progress
In their appreciation of spiritual
things. The Apostle urges such: "As
new bom babes desire the sincere
milk of the Word, that ye might grow
thereby."
Now our text: "The words that I
speak unto you. they are spirit and
they are life." Here our Lord endeav
ored to Impress His dear disciples with
the thought that they should not take
His words too literally, but look for
the deeper meaning And. they were
to remember that they could not get
that deep meaning until after the Mas
ler's ascension: as He said. "It is ex
pedient for you that I go away; for if
I go not away the Holy Spirit will not
come unto you; but If I go away I will
send Him unto you "
The Master's words were "words of
life" In that they conveyed the great
Message of the terms upon which we
may have everlasting life and become
His Joint-heirs Although the Apos- I
ties explain the philosophy of the Di
vine Plan in great
detail, more than
did Jesus, yet In
His sayings we find
the very essence of
the Gospel. No
where are the
terms of disciple
ship more careful
ly laid down than
In Jesus' words, be
cause the disciples
could understand
the meaning of self
denial, cross-bear

election and Divine foreknowledge.
From Jesus' words more clearly thim
from any others we get the thought of
the "water of life." and how It Is now
In His followers a "spring" of truth,
grace and everlasting life. Nowhere
else do we more clearly get the state
ment that the Father hath life in Him
self, and hath granted unto the ilon life
In Himself, and that He might share
this life with His disciples. Thus, as
St Paul says, the words of this salva

ShcChorn Udy ScfTtrtd a Crtal
Ehellhorn. Ala. In a letter from this
place. Mrs. Carrie May says: "A short
time ago, I commenced to have weak
pells and headaches. I felt bad all
the time, and soon grew so bad I
couldn't stay up. I thought I would die.
At last my husband got me a bottle
of Cardul. and It helped me; so he got
some more. After I had taken the
second bottle. I was entirely well.
I wish every lady, suffering from
womanly trouble, would try CarduL
It is the best medicine I know of. It
did me more good than anything I erer
ttsed."
Cardul Is a woman's tonic a
strengthening medicine for women,
made from ingredients that act spe
cifically on the womanly organs, and
thus help to build np the womanly con
stitution to glowing good health.
As a remedy for woman's ills. It has
a successful record of over SO years.
