A ClIURCH FOR RAILROAD MEN.
The religiously inclined railroad men
living at Inman Yards on the outskirts
of Atlanta will soon worship in a church
built especially for them as a result
of the generosity of the Southern Railway
Company, which, feeling an interest
in the spiritual welfare of its employes,
donated the lot on which they
have erected a neat little edifice.
The church will be dedicated on the
first Sunday in September, with Rev.
G. W. Lewis, a former engineer on the
Southern, as pastor. The members are
Baptists and the church will be known
as the Tnman Yards Baptist church.
The dedication ceremonies wiV be attended
by some of the most prominent
Baptist ministers and laymen of Atlanta
and the deed for the property,
formally signed by President W. W.
Finley of the Southern Railway, will
be presented at that time.
The pastor of the church was converted
thirty years ago while actively
engaged as an engineer on the Southern
Railway, and he studied the Bible
and began to prepare himself for the
ministry, while still presiding over his
throttle. It has always been his ambition
to become mstor of a church
for 'railroad men. and although his
hair has grown white in the preparation.
he is still as enthusiastic and is
a vigorous worker and clear, forceful
speaker.
"T want to devote the rest of my
davs to teaching the word to my railroad
comrades," said Rev. Mr. t^ewis.
"Railroad tnen are not had, and they
like to go to church just as much as
other people whose time is not so inconvenient.
for worship as theirs. Thev
have the biggest hearts of any people
on earth, and I '.v>k forward to becoming
their pastor out there at Tnman
with great pleasure. Tt wouldn't
have been possible for us to have secured
our church but for the generosity
of the Southern Railway in deeding ue
the lot. and my people certainly appreciate
what the road has done foi
them."
The church is of wood, very simple
in architecture and was built at a cost
of $1,500. The lot adjoins that donated

FREE SCHOOL FOR COLORED DEAF
AND BLIND CHILDREN.
The middle of September next, the
Virginia State School for Deaf and
Blind Children, at Newport News, Va.,
will open its third session; last session
54 pupils were admitted and for next
session the authorities are very desirous
of admitting 100 pupils. The trouble
has been that the existence of the school
is not generally known by the colored
people. There are nearly ieaf or
blind colored children in Virginia, as
shown by the State's School Census,
as well as by the U. S. Census.
The spreading of the information of
the existence of the School (the only
one in the State) among the colored
people depends upon the readers of the
county papers. Of the 54 admitted to
the school last session, fully half of
them were sent by white ladies of tho
State.
Pesidrs being given a good working
elucation, the deaf boys are taught carpenter
work, Bhoemaking, farming, etc.;
the' deaf girls, plain and fancy sewing,
the making of dresses, garments, etc.,
cooking, laundering and housekeeping

education which enables them to read
countless books and newspapers printed
for their use in this country and which
the government transmits through the
mails free of cost, thus brightening their
lives. The blind boys are taught trades
by which they can make a comfortable
living, such as mattress-making, broommaking
and chalr-caneing. Music also
has a prominent part in their training.
Governor Mann, of Virginia, who visited
the school last spring, was agreeably
surprised at the splendid fancy
work showing made by the blind girls.
' This session the making of dresses,
I aprons, etc., will be taken up by theso
girls and the superintendent is con'
sidering the introduction of chair-caneing
by the blind girls also,
i If you know any of these people, cr
any others, do a good thing at once by

the great boon that.awaits them at the

MASKED BLESS1.NUS.
^ The more one knows of the most afflicted
lives, the more often the convicr
tlon flashes across us that the affliction
' is not a wanton outrage, but a delicately-adjusted
treatment.
I remember that once to a friend of
mine was sent a rare plant, which he
set in a big flower pot close to a fountain
basin. It never throve: it liverf
Indeed, putting out In the spring a della'e,
stunted foliage, though my friend,
who was a careful gardener, could
never divine what ailed it. He was
. way for a few weeks, and the day after
he was gone the flower pot was broken
by a careless garden boy, who wheeled
barrow roughly past it. The plant,
^arth and all, fell into the water; the
boy removed the broken pieces of the
tot, and, seeing that the plant had sunk
i the bottom of the little pool, never
: troubled his head to flsh it out.
When my friend returned, he noticed
*ie day In the fountain a new and luxuriant
growth of some unknown plant.
He made careful inquiries, and found
out what had happened. It then came
out that the plant was in reality a
water plant, and that It had pined
away in the stifling air for want of
nourishment, perhaps dimly longing fot
the fresh bed of the pool.
Even so has it been times without
number with some starving and thirsty
soul that has gone on feebly trying to
live a maimed life, shut up in Itself, ailmJ
an of the south
ing, feeble. There has descended upon It
what looks at first sight like a calamity,
some affliction unaccountable, and then
it proves that this was the one thing
needed, that sorrow has brought on
some latent unselfishness, or suffering
energized some unused faculty of
strength and patience.?A. C. Benson.
GERMAN WRITER GTVES PRAISE TO
OUR WOMEN.
"American women dress better than
the women in any country in Europe,
even in Paris," savs Miss Helen Hasse,
a German authoress now traveling in
Texas.
"In Europe pnly the wealthy classee
dress well, but in America all women
do. Clerks who make only $3 or $4 s
week dress in good taste. With a $1
shirtwaist and a $2 skirt they have the
style of queens, a style that European
women do not get by spending many
times that much.
"The society women go too far for
fasMon. Tbev appear to think of nothing
else. Here In America It Is unuBual
to so- a badlv dressed woman, while In
Germanv It 's unusual to see one who
is well dressed.

"I am a great admirer of the middle
class American woman. She is intelligent,
always looks the lady, makes her
own clothes, docs her housework and is
a splendid housekeeper. One seldom sees
the American woman scrub, yet her
house Is always clean.
"The Paris woman possibly has the
better of her American sister on hats
and gowns, but the American woman
looks better. Only the high society of
France can afford these expensive
gowns. The average American woman
can make herself a beautiful and stylish
gown for little money?consequently the
'laurels' belong to her."?San Antonio
Gazette.
Every morning compose your soi\J for
a tranquil day, and all through it be
careful often to recall your resolution,
and bring yourself back to it, so to say.
If something discomposes you, do not
be upset, or troubled; but having discovered
the fact, humble yourself gently
before God, and try to bring your
mind into a quiet attitude. Say to yourself,
"Well, I have made a false step;
now I must go more carefully and
watchfully." Do this each time, howp'-er
frequently you fall.
