S S. Times.
As we write these words, all
over our State the schools are
having their closing exercises.
Universities,colleges, academies,
high schools, grammar schools
—all sorts are closing after their
year s work. But they are clos
ing to open again. When the
three hot month’s have passed,
the doors now being closed will
be opened again. Teachers now
tired and worn out, will have
rested, and, fresh and buoyant,
will take up their work again.
Yes, the schools will open
again; open to furnish to all the
boys and girls who will come,
that mental training which they
so much need to fit them for the
best service in after life. Edu
cation, i. e. the drawing forth
and developing of their minds,
and with it the supply of materi
als on which those minds may
exercise themselves, is being
brought to the doors of all our
people, rich and poor, high and
low, educated and uneducated.
The opportunity for education
lies before all the boys and girls.
Possibly, nay probably, the
boys and girls do not appreciate
this opportunity, nor have they
any adequate conception of the
blessings which lie wrapped up
in an education. But their pa
rents ought to. They know by
experience, or observation, what
a wonderful advantage in the
struggle of life, the educated
man or woman has over the one
whose powers have never been
developed. And so the parents
ought to see to it that their chil
dren shall receive an education,
and just as thorough an one as it
is possible for them to secure.
Here, in our “Home Depart
ment,” we write these things,
that we may stir up some parents
who read our words, and inspire
them with an earnest desire and
purpose to have their children
educated.
We are almost tempted to make
a special appeal to the mothers
of Georgia in behalf of the boys
and girls. We can remember
well, in the hard years after the
war, how our mother stood firm
ly and determinedly for the edu
cating of her youngest boy. The
older ones had teen given to
their country’s service in tented
field, and when they returned it
was to hard work for bread and
meat. Only one was young
enough to be educated then, and
the mother toiled and sacrificed
no little that it might be done.
Ten thousand times has the boy
had occasion to bless her as he re
members how she pleaded that he
might not be put in a store or
office, but sent to school, and as
he remembers too, how she held
him to his school work when he
longed to “be at work.”
In the light of the blessings
that have come to him, he pleads
with fathers and mothers in
Georgia to give the boys and girls
a chance to be educated. It may
require extra toil and extra sav
ing and extra sacrifice, where it
seems that toil and saving and
sacrifice have reached their limit;
but it may result in a Mercer, a
Mell, a Crawford, a Kilpatrick,
or an Ann Haseltine Judson, a
Florence Nightingale: who
knows ?
Get ready now to send the boys
and girls to school next fall. •
The Well by the Sea.
A tourist writes of a spring as sweet
as any that ever gushed from sunny
hillside, which one day he found by the
sea, when the tides had ebbed away.
Taking his cup he tasted the water and
it was sweet. Soon the sea came again
and pouted its bitter surf over the little
spring, hiding it out of sight.
‘ Like a fair star, thick buried in a cloud,
Or life in the grave’s gloom,
The well, enwrapped in a deep watery
shroud,
Sank to its tomb.”
When the tide ebbed away again, i h
tourist stood once more by the spring to
see if the brackish waves had left their
bitterness in its waters; but they were
sweet as ever.
“While waves of bitternes rolled o’er
its head,
Its heart had folded deep
Within itself, and quiet fancies led
As in a sleep;
ft
Till, when the ocean loosed his heavy
chain
And gave it back today,
Calmly it turned to its own life again,
And gentle way.”
This is a picture of the peace in the
heart of the Christian, when floods of
bitter sorrow and trial roll over his life.
From secret wells the sweet waters flow,
crystal and fresh as ever. We know
where these secret wells are, where
these pure fountains rise. They have
their source in the heart of God. It is
Christ’s own peace that he gives to us.
He gives us his own life. It is divine
life in the soul that makes peace for us
in the time of earthly distress — Selected.

bor are," said the mother of six
boys, as she sat down to mend

THE CHRISTIAN IXDEX : r IHURSIB
Messages for Girls.
“Young women, the glory of your
life is to do something and to be some
thing. You, very possibly, may have
formed the idea that ease and personal
enjoyment are the' ends of your life.
This is a great mistake. Development,
in the broadest sense and in the highest
direction, is the end of your life. Ease
is not for you Selfish enjoyment is
not for you. The world is to be made
better by you You have got to suffer
and to work; and if there be a spark of
the true girl in you, your hearts will re
spond to these words. The time will
come when you shall see that all your
toil, and care, and pain, and sorrow,and
practical sympathy for others, have
built you up into a strength of woman
hood which will despise ease as an end
of life, and pity those who are content
with it.
“When you have properly compre
hended and received this idea, the recre
ations of life and the pleasures of social
intercourse will take their appropriate
positions with relation to the business
of life—its staple duties. Recreation
will become recreation —simply the re
vival of your powers, that they may all
the better perform the work which you
have undertaken, or which circum
stances have devolved upon you. So
cial pleasures will rise into a sympa
thetic communion with nature and lives
earnest like your own upon the sub
jects nearest your hearts, and it will give
you thought and guidance.
“Do not seek for yourselves any
prominent field of service where you
will attract the attention of the world.
Remain where God places you. Some
of the noblest heroisms of the world
have been achieved in humble life. The
poor you have always with you. The
miserable are always around you. You
can lighten your father's burdens. You
can restrain your brothers from vicious
society. You can relieve your failing
and fadig mother of much care. You
can gather the ragged and ignorant
children at your knee, and teach them
something of a better life than they
have seen. You can become angels of
light and goodness to many stricken
hearts. You can read to the aged. You
can do many things which will be
changed to blessings upon your own
soul. Florence Nightingale did} her
work in her place; do your work in
yours, and your Father who seeth in
secret shall reward you openly.
“I would be the last one to cast a
shadow on your brows, but I would un
deceive you at the first, so that you may
begin life with right ideas. Life
is real —it is a real and earnest
thing. It has homely details, pain
ful passages and a crown of
care for every brow. I seek to in
spire you with a wish and a will to meet
it with a womanly spirit. I seek to
point you to its nobler meanings and
its higher results. The tinsel, with
which your imagination has invested it,
will fall off of itself, so soon as you
shall fairly enter upon its experiences.
Then if these ideas have no place in
you, you will be obliged to acquire them
slowly and painfully or you will sink
into a poor, selfish, discontented crea
ture. So I say, begin to take up life’s
duties now. Learn something of what
life is, before you take upon yourself
the graver responsibilities.
“Your happiness is very much in
your own hands, so are your usefulness
and your good name- Ido not ask you
to be anything but a glad, sunny wo
man. I would have you so at -peace
with heaven, with the world, and with
yourself that tears shall flow only at the
call of sympathy. I would have you im
maculate as light, devoted to all goed
deeds, industrious, intelligent, patient,
heroic. And crowning every grace of
person and mind, every accomplish
ment, every noble sentiment, every
womanly faculty, every delicate
instinct, every true impulse, I would
see religion upon your brow—
the coronet by token of which God
makes you a princess in his family, and
an heir to the brightest glories, the
sweetest pleasures, the noblest privi
leges, and the highest honors of his
kingdom.”— Dr. Holland.
He Shares Our Burdens.
I knew a Christian lady who had a
very heavy temporal burden. It took
away her sleep and her appetite, and
there was danger of her health breaking
down under it. One daj’ when it
seemed specially heavy, she noticed ly
ing on the table near her a little tract
called “Hannah’s Faith.” Attracted
by the title, she picked it up and began
to read it, little knowing that it was to
create a revolution in her whole expe
rience . The story was of a poor woman
who had been carried triumphantly
through a life of unusual sorrow. She
was giving the history of her life to a
kind visitor on one occasion, and at the
close the visitor said, feelingly:
“O Hannah, I do not see how you
could bear so much sorrow !”
“I did not bear it,” was the quick re
ply; “the Lord bore it for me "
“Yes,” said the visitor, “ that is the
right way. We must take our troubles
to the Lord.”
“Yes,” replied Hannah, “but we
must do more than that; we must leave
them there Most people,” she con
tinued, “ take their burdens to him, but
they bring them away with them again,
and are just as worried and unhappy as
ever. But I take mine, and I leave
them with him. and I come away and
forget them If the worry comes back,
I take it to him again; and I do this
over and over until at last I just forget
I have any worries, and am at perfect
rest.”— H. W. Smith.
Curiosities of Magnetism.
Most well informed people are doubt -
1 'ss aware that the globe on which they
live is a great ball of magnetism, but
comparatively few have an adequate
idea of the influence this property is
continually exerting on all sides, that
many common but inexplicable phe
nomena can be traced directly to this
source Statistics go to show that in
the matter of steel rails, as many as
thirteen will become crystallized and
break where they go to make up a rail
road track running east and west, be
fore one of those on a north and south
track is similarly affected. This is en
tirely due to the magnetism generated
by friction, and the fact that the polar
ity of the magnetic current is in the
former instance resisted in the head
long rush of the train, whereas in the
latter case it is undisturbed
Another strange effect of this peculiar
and occult force is that exerted on the
watches of train men. A timepiece
carried by the conductor running a train
twenty miles an hour, however accurate
it may be, will, if the speed of the train
is increased to, say. fifty miles, become
useless until regulated. The magnetism
generated by the flight of a train may
be said to be in proportion to the speed
with which it is propelled, and the deli
cate parts of a watch, numbering all
the way from 400 to 1,000 pieces, and
peculiarly susceptible to this influence
by reason of the hammering and polish
ing they received, are not slow to feel
the effect.
A good deed is never lost; he
who sows courtesy reaps friend
ship, and he who plants kindness
gathers love.

her 1 had found the will, and
that that was what she
looked confused, but confessed it
so I handed it to her and she
away. Up to this time that will has
not been filed, so I have learned, and I
have not the slightest doubt that it has
been .suppressed for the purpose of
depriving some one of the property
which it disposed of.
“A well-dressed, gentlemanly man
brought me three bulky volumes, and
wanted me to purchase them. As they
were of a class of books the value of
which varies considerably, according to
the condition and edition, and I was
very busy at the time, I aaked him to
leave them, and call next day. This he
consented to do, and went away. When
I looked at them, I came across a large
number of bank notes. They were
evidently quite new. and there was
something about them which made me
doubt their authenticity. 11 compared
them with notes of my own, but could
not discover the faintest dissimiliarity.
However, to make sure of the matter, I
sent them to be paid into my bank.
Naturally, when my messenger came
back, having passed the notes without
the slightest difficulty, I concluded they
were all right.
“The next morning I received a mes
sage from the manager of my bank, say
ing he would like me to aM.ll upon him.
I went round, and was not very much
surprised when he said that every one
of the notes I had banked the day be
fore were forgeries. I explained the
matter, and we wired to Scotland Yard
That afternoon I had a new assistant in
my shop. Towards the close of the day,
the owner of the three volumes came
sauntering into the shop and asked if I
intended to buy them. At a sign from
me my new assistant —a detective —
pounced upon him and hurried him off.
Scotland Yard had been looking for him
for a long time, it appeared. I still
have the books in my own library.”
Some Don’ts for Swmimers.
Diving is certainly the best way for
you to enter the water —always provided
that you know all about its depth.
Nothing can be more unhealthful than
the dawdling habit of wading out ankle
deep or knee deep. The hot sun beats
down on your head. Your feet and
legs are in the cool water, whose tem
perature is anywhere from ten to twen
ty-five degrees lower than that of the
air.
You can’t remain lonfc. under these
conditions withouF~Tnjuring yourself.
Nature’s plan is to have the head cool
and the extremities warm. Go contrary
to this and you are in trouble. Proba
bly most of you can ie member having
had a headache some time or other from
this very cause. Indeed, physicians
will tell you that many attacks of
cramp Jin the water are due to the
swimmer’s foolish habit of wading in
very slowly. Deranged circulation
causes cramps. In places where it is
not safe to dive you can easily stoop
over and throw a few handfuls of water
on your head. Then hurry forward and
throw yourself in—fall in. Will other
fellows laugh at your precautions?
Well, let them laugh, and pay for it
with the twinges of cramps I have
been swimming twenty years, and I’ve
never had a cramp, simply because I’ve
followed the rules laid down here.—
Harper’s Round Table.
Those Astounding Adverbs —One
evening a gentleman came home with a
budget of news. An acquaintance had
failed in business. He spoke of the in
cident as “deliciously sad.” He had rid
den up town in a car with a noted wit,
whom he described as “horribly enter
taining.” and to clap the climax, he
spoke of the butter which had been set
before him at a country hotel as “di
vinely rancid.’’
The young people stared, and the old
est daughter said, “Why, papa, I should
think you were out o: your head.”
“Notin the least my dear,” he said,
pleasantly. “I’m merely trying to fol
low the fashion. I worked out ‘divinely
rancid’ with a good deal of labor. It
seems to me rather more effective than
‘awfully sweet.’ I mean to keep up
with the rest of you hereafter. And
now,” he continued,” let me help you to
a piece of this exquisitely tough beef. ”
Adverbs, he says, are not so fashiona
ble as they were in hi i fimily.— The
Boston Post.
The following story is told of
the courtship of Mr. Disraeli,
afterward Lord Beaconsfield,and
Mrs. Wyndham Lewis: Mrs.
Lewis was living near Cardiff,
when through the window she
saw Mr. Disraeli approaching,
and ordered the servant to say
she was not at home. When the
servant descended to the hall
Mr. Disraeli was hanging his
light overcoat on a peg. “ Mrs.
Lewis, sir, is not at home,” said
the flurried maid. “I did not
ask for Mrs. Lewis,” was the
calm, statesmanlike reply. “But
I don’t know when she will be
back,” urged the maid. “Neither
do I,” philosophically replied he;
“ but I am going to wait till she
does come back;so make me some
tea.” He did wait, he got his
tea, and he married the widow.

dering how it is going to be this
week. “Why, don’t you know
how it is going to be?” No, we
do not, for we are going away
to do some work for our beloved
Mercer University, and so we
have to get the “Corner” door
open and arrange for the guests
in advance, and we do not know
which of our Georgia girls
and boys are coming to sit
with us. But if -they do come,
they will find everything ready
for them. And if they do not,
then some other guests will be
there.
But what a nice time it willjbe,
from now on for some months,
for our boys and girls to chat
with each other in the “Corner.”
School is out, books are laid
aside and, just to think of it,
there are no compositions to
write. Who ever heard of a boy
or girl that did not love to write
compositions? It will be such a
lonely time without composi
tions. And so the Index comes
in and furnishes a “Corner” for
chatting, so as to prevent the
young people from being lonely.
And they can keep up their good
practice and not forget how to
hold a pen, by the time school
begins again. Our teachers used
to crack our knuckles if we did
not hold our pens right, and just
after the holidays there used to
be a good many cracked knuck
les. We did not have any Index
“Corner” to practice in.
Dear Index: In answer to the
request our editor made of us
several days ago, I will attempt
to write about our little church
and Sunday-school. We have a
nice Baptist church, with Bro.
James Weaver for our pastor.
We love him very much.
We have preaching once a
month—the third Sunday, morn
ing and night.
We have an interesting Sun
day-school which meets in the af
ternoon at half-past three. My
father, Mr. W. M. Hidaway, is
our superintendent. Mr. Grayer
Almand is secretary and Miss
Ellen Gentry is our organist. We
have prayer-meeting every Wed
nesday night, and a praise ser
vice on Sunday night when there
is no preaching.
As 1 live in a small town where
very few things happen, I will
not write you often. I have
loved and read the dear old In
dex for five years (nearly half of
my life), and take great pleasure
in reading the other children’s
letters. I will say good-bye for
this time. Lovingly,
Bettie Hadaway.

“Os what use is my light or
who sees it down here in the

“If I could shine up there in the

or the stars, or even if I could
fly about in the air as the fire
flies do, I might brighten the
world a little, but what can I do
here?
“I will curl myself up here and
sleep and nobody will miss me.”
So the glowworm lay in his
bed two whole nights and days.
‘ ‘Heighho!” he sighed at the end
of the second day, ‘‘l am tired of
this. I believe I will light my
lamp to-night and go out once
more for a stroll. ”

“Oh, we are so glad you have

to welcome him. “We are so

A Mischievous Little Bear.
A favorite amusement of the
little bear was to go off to the
end of his cage away from his
mother, and then, rising on his
hind feet, walk over to her, and,
throwing his arms about her neck,
hug her for all he was worth, and
then begin to bite and scratch
and pommel her.
This she would stand for
awhile, but if it became too se
vere the usual cuffing was given
him; or else, if he was very bad,
she would take him up in her
mouth and go and drop him in
the large water tank at one end
of the cage, the edge of which
was on a level with the floor.
This great tank was two feet
deep, and even when there was
no -water in it, it was wet and
slimy, and the little bear did not
like it.
Sometimes he was thrown in
when the tank was half full of
water, and was left to gasp and
choke several times before the
old bear would reach in and,grab
bing him by the leg, foot, back
or head, whichever came upper
most, pull him out and drop him
on the floor to dry. The last time
I saw him he was very naughty
indeed, and was several times
doused in the water.
The last dip. seemed to have
been successful, for a very quiet
little bear crept up to its mother’s
side by the edge of the tank.
But when the mother’s head was
turned, he leaped up and sprang
at her in such away as to
make her lose her balance. There
was a tremendous splash as the
old bear slid over the side and
under the water.
The little bear’s ears stood
straight up, and he looked the
very imp of mischief as he saw
his mother disappear. His ex
pression changed, however,when
the old bear’s head came above
the wateV again. There was a look
in her face that made him think
that it would be well to retire.
With ears laid flat back, he
sped for the small covered room
opening off the back of the cage,
and retired to the darkest corner,
where he crouched down and pre
tended to go to sleep. Mrs. Beai
slowly climbed out of the tank,
then tramped across the cage to
the room in the rear, and block
ing up the entrance with her
body, leaned forward and ad
ministered several resounding
thumps to the little black bun
dle in the corner. The little bear
was on his good behavior after
that for twenty minutes.—Congre

Successful Office Boys.
An editor of a great city daily
was speaking a few days ago
about the service of his office
boy. “I don’t believe there is a
person in the building who has
anything against the boy,” said
he. “Arthur is always on time,
always ready and quiet, and thor
oughly reliable.”
Some one who stood by took
the occasion to ask a question:
“Is it really true that a boy who
is responsible and willing is al
ways noticed?”
“O, yes,” said the editor; “no
ticed almost at once, and all over
the office.”
“But what are his chances
about being promoted? In a
large office I should think there
would be really little chance, yet
one continually sees it stated
that reliable boys are sure to be
promoted.”
The editor answered with de
cision : ‘ ‘The chances are almost
certain. I should say they are
certain. A boy who is reliable
and willing to work, and who
shows a disposition to do his
best, is sure to be promoted as
fast as he deserves to be. Os
course, in our office we have all
sorts of boys—boys who are
shiftless and have no interest in
their work, who stay a short
time and drift away. That sort
of a boy doesn’t count. But now
Arthur has been with us two
years. In all that time he has
been keen and businesslike,
ready to do anything, always
pleasant and prompt and capable.
The boy before Arthur was
much the same sort of a 'boy.
He grew interested in the type
writer. He stayed after hours
and practiced on it till he became
thoroughly skilled with it. That
boy is now the business mana
ger’s stenographer. The two
boys before clerks in the
counting-room. "Still others are
at work in the building in good
places. It is entirely true that
a boy who means to make the
most of himself can do it. We
are looking for just those boys.”

Trying; His Appetite.
A young man had carelessly
formed the habit of. taking a
glass of liquor every morning
before breakfast. An older
friend advised him to quit before
the habit should grow too
strong.
“Oh, there's no danger; it’s a
mere notion; I can quit any time, ”
replied the drinker.
“Suppose you try to-morrow
morning,” suggested the friend.
“Very well; to please you I’ll
do so, but I assure you there is
no cause for alarm.”
A week later, the young man
met his friend again.
“You are not looking well,”
observed the latter. “ Have you
been ill?”
“Hardly,” replied the other
one. “But lam trying to escape
a dreadful danger, and I fear I
shall be ill before I shall t have
conquered. My eyes were
opened to an imminent peril when
I gave you that promise a week
ago. I thank you for your time
ly suggestion.”
“How did it affect you?” in
quired the friend.
“The first trial utterly de
prived me of appetite for food.
I could eat no breakfast, and was
nervous and trembling all day.
I was alarmed when I realized
how insidiously the habit had
fastened on me, and resolved to
turn square about and never
touch another drop. The squar
ing off has pulled me down se
verely, but I am gaining, and I
mean to keep the upper hand
after this. Strong drink shall
never catch me in his net again.”
“Mr. Ten Minutes.”
A touching story is told of the
late Prince Napoleon. He had
joined the English army in Afri
ca, and was one day at the head
of a squad riding horse-back out
side the camp. It was a danger
ous situation. One of the com
pany said: “We had better re
turn. If we don’t hasten, we
may fall into the hands of the
enemy ”
“Oh,” said the Prince, “let us
stay here ten minutes and drink
our coffee.”
Before the ten minutes had
passed, a company of Zulus came
upon them, and in the skirmish
the Prince lost his life.
His mother, when informed of
the facts, in her anguish, said:
‘ ‘That was his great mistake from
babyhood. He never wanted to
go to bed at night in time, nor to
rise in the morning. He was
ever pleading for ten minutes
more. When too sleepy to speak,
he would lift up his two little
hands and spread out ten fingers,
indicating that he wanted ten
minutes more. On this account
1 sometimes called him ‘Mr. Ten
Minutes.’ ”
How many have lost not only
their lives, but lheir precious,
immortal souls, by this sin of
procrastination! When God calls,
we should promptly obey.
