The Home Circle for Our Young People
Bob Taylor Lives
in the two bright and beautiful books just
issued, “Lectures and Best Literary Pro
ductions,” and “Life and Career” of Sena
tor Robert Love Taylor, handsomelj’ illus
trated.
You cannot hear again his voice, or see
the humorous curl of his lips, that con
vulsed a continent with laughter, but, with
in the covers of these volumes, are the pic
tures woven of his wondrous words, and,
laughing through their sunnj- pages, are all
of the inimitable stories which he told to
the multitudes. In “Life anti Career,”
pens of genius have traced his romantic
life from its morning in “Happy Valley,’
through his young and roseate dreams—
through stress and storm—through cheer
ing throngs, and on into the waiting shad
ows, loved and laurel crowned.
We expect to sell millions of these books.

The Golden Age for March 27, 1913
OH, JESUS, LET ME SLEEP.
Oh, Jesus, let me sleep!
Let soothing silence sweep
Over my tired brain
And banish human pain,
For I am sadly worn,
By trials racked and torn,
And long dear Lord to rest
Upon thy loving breast.
Oh, Jesus, let me sleep!
So sweetly and so deep,
That care shall be forgot
And sin shall vex me not;
Because this story of “The Best
Loved Woman in the South” is such
a beautiful account of a wonderfully
unselfish life, embodying such a spirit
as I would gladly help to implant in
The Best Loved Woman in the South.
By W. LOMAX CHILDRESS.
Longfellow said of the blacksmith,
“Something attempted, something done
has earned a night’s repose.” This
may be said in some measure of most
lives, for the best moments of the aver
age life are more numerous than the
world has found out. In this thought
we take heart and try again.
Ono of the most noble, unselfish
and Christ-like lives in this twentieth
century has recently failed in its phy
sical being on earth, and has, in a
large understanding and a more perfect
environment, found a fuller field for
love’s tireless service in the personal
presence of the great King. Sophie
B. Wright, the best known and best
loved citizen of the South, having
done a full day’s work until the even
ing time, called her most intimate
friend to her side and said: “I think
I cannot last much longer. I have
always loved you. Tell all of my
girls and dear friends good-bye.” And
that night, serene and with a vast
contentment, she passed, by the high
ways made possible to sainted spirits,
into the presence of Jehovah.
This woman was forty-seven years
of age, being a hopeless cripple since
six years of age; for thirty-nine years
her frail body had been supported by
steel bands. Through days of suffer
ing and nights devoid of ease, she
gave to New Orleans and the whole
world a sacrfice and benefaction far
beyond any computation in merely
commercial value. She qualified her
self by extensive reading and pains
taking study for the service of in
structing the young. Dut of her scant
earnings she rented rooms and estab
lished night schools in the city of
New Orleans. And during the twen
ty-five years) more than twenty-five
thousand students, who otherwise
would have remained in ignorance, had
been enrolled and fitted for usefulness
in life.

By SARAH A. HEINZERLING.
For I am spent and scarred
By battles fierce and hard
And like a child would creep,
Within thine arms, and sleep.
Oh, Jesus, let me sleep!
Then wake some day to reap,
Rich fruitage from the years
Os bitter stress and tears;
For, waiting so ’twill seem
Life was a troubled dream,
And death a friend who drew
Me closer, Lord ,to you.
CHAT
the life and heart of every one of my
young people, I am giving it to you
as a far stronger appeal for the Christ
spirit than I could ever make.
In 1897, when the yellow fever came,
she used her building for a depot of
distribution, and made it a veritable
store house for God for the poor
and needy during the gloomy period
of devastation and death. Like Flor
ence Nightingale in the C'reimea, her
presence wms counted by those who
met her to be that of an angel of God,
called to minister on earth.
She established the “Rest Awhile
Home” in the fragrant pine woods of
Louisiana and thousands of the work
ing girls of the city and the poor
women who were not able to take a
vacation were given the free privilege
of rest and recreation there. Besides
and above, with a rare spiritual per
ception, she gave to these broken in
spirit and discouraged, the tender coun
sel of a true sister in Christ, an un
selfish and unfailing friendship that
found no class distinctions, and made
in love’s sovereign sweetness, an open
door of hope that all who would might
enter there.
She inaugurated the work that re
sulted in a free hospital for advanced
cases of tuberculosis, and was the
leader in the gigantic charity by
which thousands of the city poor were
given free baskets of provisions and
a dinner on Thanksgiving Day. It
was she who made the “Shakespeare
Almshouse” the open vestibule of
heaven on Christmas day, giving to
these pitiful derelicts on the sea of
time an abundance of good things, in
cluding beautiful presents to make
life’s last a little brighter for these
pathetic and broken lives. The fra
gile woman instituted the home for
incurables into which those who have
no homes and no prospects for recov
ery from disease, may find a home
and kindly hands to minister to them.
She was one of the directors of the
New Orleans dispensary for women
and children, and founde dthe Worn-
an’s Christian Temperonce Union of
the city. But time would fail to tell
of the charities this Christ-like wom
an was the moving spirit in.
The silver loving cup presented by
the New Orleans Picayune to the most
respected and best loved citizen of
New Orleans, was, by unanimous con
sent, awarded to her two years ago.
An unprecedented honor, one never
given to any person while yet alove,
was bestowed upon her when the mag
nificent new high school building was
named the “Sophie B. Wright school.”
During the forty-seven years of this
woman’s life she asked nothing ex
cept for others, and gave such ser
mons of consolation and encourage
ment that multiplied thousands of
lives were built in Christ-likeness of
character and found a safe and sure
lodgment in, the love of God. So
keen and personal was the bereave
ment of her going out, that from ev
ery state in the union and from for
eign countries came flowers and mes
sages of affection and consolation. Ev
ery organization in New Orleans, civic
and fraternal, was represented at her
funeral, and it is surely worth while
to publish for the uplifting of human
hearts and for the glory of God this
simple story of the beautiful life of
Sophie B. Wright.—The Watchword.
CHRONIC DISORDERS OF THE
STOMACH, LIVER, KIDNEYS,
and Bladder should not be pronounced
incurable nor the sufferer discouraged
when medical treatment fails to re
lieve. Unless you have given Shivar
Spring Water a faithful- trial without
relief, the chances are a thousand to
one that you can be permanently cured
of your ailment. Shivar Spring Water
succeeds where medicines fail. E. F.
Latimer, Lowndesville, S. C., writes:
“Shivar Water has cured me of intes
tinal indigeston after about 12 years
suffering and treatment from other
sources.” Mr. N. F. Shivar, owner of
the Springs, makes the following lib
eral offer: If you suffer from Indiges
tion, Rheumatism, Gout, Gall Stones,
Bright’s Disease, diseases of the blad
der or bowels, he will ship you 10 gal
lons of the water on receipt of $2.00
with the distinct understanding that
will be refunded. You don’t pay un
if it fails to benefit you your money
less relieved. You are to be the
judge. Address N. F. Shivar, Shivar
Spring, Shelton, S. C. The advertis
ing manager of this paper knows this
to be a bona fide offer.
Waiter (suggestively)—Would you
like a plate of green turtle soup, sir?
Farmer Giles—No, if yer ain’t got
no ripe turtle soup I don’t want none
at all.
