TWENTY LIFE MAXIMS.
Thomas Davidson of the Adiron
dacks, is dead, but he has left twenty
life maxims for those who may wish
to follow 7 in his footsteps.
These maxims are:
1. Rely upon your own energies,
and do not wait for or depend on oth
er poeple.
2. Cling v’ith all your might to
your own highest ideals, and do not
be led astray by such vulgar aims as
wealth, position, popularity. Be your
self.
3. Your worth consists in what you
are, and not in what you have. What
you are will show in what you do.
4. Never fret, repine or envy. Do
not make yourself unhappy by com
paring your circumstances with those
of more fortunate people; but make
the most of the opportunities you
have. Employ profitably every mo
ment.
6. Associate with the noblest peo
ple you can find; read the best books;
live with the mighty. But learn to
be happy alone.
6. Do not believe that all greatness
and heroism are in the past. Learn
to discover princes, prophets, heroes
and saints among the people about
you. Be assured they are there.
7 Be on earth what good people
hope to be in heaven.
8. Cultivate ideal friendships, and
gather into an intimate circle all youi
acquaintances who are hungering for
truth and right. Remember that heav
en itself can be nothing but the inti
macy' of pure and noble souls.
9. Do not shrink from any useful or
kindly act, however hard or repellent
it may be. The worth of acts is
measured by the spirit in which they
are performed.
10. If the world despise you be
cause you do not follow its ways, pay
no heed to it. But be sure your way
is right.
11. If a thousand plans fail, be not
disheartened. As long as your pur
poses are right you have not failed.
12. Examine yourself every night
and see whether you have progressed
in knowledge, sympathy and helpful
ness during the day. Count every day
a_ loss in which no progress has been
made.
13. Seek employment in energy, not
in alliance. Our worth is measured
solely by what w r e do.
14. Let not your goodness be pro
fessional; let it be the simple, natural
outcome of your character. Therefore
cultivate character.
15. If you do wrong, say so, and
make what atonement you can. That
is true nobleness. Have no moral
debts.
16. When 5 n doubt how to act, ask
yourself, What does nobility com
ni'.nd? Be on good terms with your
self.
17. Look for no reward for good
ness, but goodness itself. Remember
heaven and hell are utterly immoral
institutions if they are meant as re
ward and punishment.
18. Give whatever countenance and
help you can to every movement and
institution that is working for good. Be
not sectarian.
19. Wear no placards, within or
without. Be human fully.

THE GOLDEN AGE FOR WEEK OF AUG. 28
WHY NOT CAN YOUR OWN FRUIT
FOR WINTER.
(Continued from page 11.)
not allow the tops to sink into them
sufficiently to make them air tight,
and care should be taken in adjusting
the rubbers to have them fit securely
under the lid.
Some prepare the fruit and vegeta
bles and put to boil large quantises in
kettles, then fill and seal the bottles.
We have found the following plan the
most successful:
Peel and place in jars, whole or cut,
(if fruit) as desired. Fill the jars
with cold water and let them stand
until ready to place over the fine; then
pour off the water, refill to the brim
with fresh water, adding one teacup
ful of sugar to each half gallon of
fruit. Have the rubbers on the jars
and put the tops on loosely. Have a
vessel three or four inches deeper
than the jars, place a perforated wood
en bottom one inch from the bottom
of the vessel; set the jars on this
and fill the vessel with cold water to
the tops of the jars.
Instead of a perforated, wooden bot
tom, a few splints of several thick
nesses of coarse cloth may be used.
Place over the fire and let boil. The
length of time required depends on
the fruit or vegetables used, some re
quiring more than others. Berries,
grapes, peaches, pears, etc., require
only a few minutes’ boiling. When
they have boiled sufficiently, if the
water does not cover the fruit, open
the jar and fill with boiling water.
Replace the top, remove from the fire
and tighten the tops. When cool,
tighten the tops again and in a few
hours they should be examined, and
if necessary again tightened. This
seems troublesome, but it is neces
sary with some jars.
Vegetables are canned as directed
above, with this difference: when the
jars are placed in the vessel to boil
they must be covered with water, they
also require longer boiling. One tea
spoonful of salt to each half gallon
jar adds to the flavor of the vege
tables. Tomatoes require three or four

Not many more times will you be accorded a welcome to any city.

sober, earnest purpose, is steadily working for that day when the
God of heaven shall say to you, “It is enough.” You know, With us,
that the time is near.
NOTE:
The Philadelphia North American, a great metropolitan newspaper
which refuses to print liquor advertisements and has the courage and
the wisdom to declare openly for local option and has made a tremen
dous success under this policy in a city much larger than Baltimore,
makes the following editorial comment upon the above address:
“It is one of those documents which mark the progress of every
forward movement. In religion these may be called confessoins of
faith. In politics they are declarations of principles. In science they
may be formulas or theorems or whatever term the technical exigency
requires.
“In all three, even in science, these documents often utter truths
that have been in the common mind for a long time, but which never
found verbal expression. And when they have been put into language
the common mind experiences a somewhat disappointed surprise that
a truth so obvious had not been presented in that way before.
“But forever after, that truth has its place as basic in the science
or the political doctrine or the religion or the moral philosophy to
which it has been given.
“We believe that the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of lowa
has articulated such a truth in its address to the liquor dealers.”
Since the brewers, distillers and hotel men are endeavoring so to
“clean-up’ ’the saloons of Baltimore on account of the impending
certain passage of the Local Optionßill as to justify a claim that they
are good enough to live, the Anti-Saloon League of Maryland pub
lishes this advertisement at the direction and expense of citizens who
believe that the saloon at its best is not fit to exist in an enlightened
civilization..
minutes to boil, beans, corn, beets,
require longer time, from one to three
hours.
Success in canning depends upon
four things: " The vessel contain
ing the fruit or vegetables must be
filled to the brim; 2. They must be
put up boiling hot; 3. Must be per
fectly air-tight; 4. Keep in a cool,
dark place. If these precautions are
carefully observed, there is little dan
ger of loss of fruit.

of sermons, they have performed hun
dreds or marriage ceremonies, admin
istered the ordinance of baptism to
'thousands, and they have followed
hundreds to the grave, where they
have attempted to console those whose
loved ones have crossed into the great
beyond.
Notwithstanding their advanced age
they are a strong refutation of the
idea that old men outlive their use
rulness in the ministry. Both are
still doing a great work, although
ineir combined ages is 154 years, and
there are none in the South Georgia
conference who would think, for a mo
ment, of suggesting such a thing as
superanuating them.
There are no more widely known
ministers in Georgia Methodism than
they, and though their lives have been
spent in the bounds of the South Geor
gia conference, their good deeds have
been scattered broadcast over the land.
Both were born in Perry, Houston
county, Georgia, and their lives have
been psent among their own people.
It is probably that the South Georgia
conference will not see two brothers
again, who will accomplish as much as
has been accomplished by these two
greatly beloved men.
The pastorate of Rev. E. H. McGe
hee, in East Highlands Methodist
church, is bearing fruits. He is going
into the homes of his members daily
and they feel that it is a benediction
to have him visit them. All of his
members and in fact all who know him
trust that he may live many more
years and keep up the good work that
he is now doing.

The elders and other people present

noblest king (David) and they were
