PlIR' IS1IED WEEKLY.
-S. W. HAWKINS. Editor, —
Thursday Morn! mr, APRIL 11, 1895
A huge delegation of Confederate
veterans from Newton, Walton. Put
nam and Morgan counties will at
tend the encampment of the United
Confederate Veterans’ Association to
he held at Houston, Texas, in May,
all of whom are suie to have a ro^al
good time.
At a prayer meeting held in a new
church over in Butts county it is
said that a good man prayed thusly :
“O, Lord, thou knowest that we are
thankful to Thee that our souls are
safe from the fire that quencheth
not If a man lose his horse Thou
knowest he can buy another ; if he
lose his house Thou knowest that he
can build another ; if he lose his wife
Thou knowest that he cau get an
other, but if he lose his soul—good
bye John.”
The Savannah News is right when
it says that the movement of cotton
factories to the south means an in
crease in the direct trade between
the south and foreign countries. In
view of this fact, is it not of greatest
interest to the south that the money
of this country should be as good as
that of any other country ? Do we
want to pay premiums on foreign
money, and have foreigners discount
iug our money ? That kind of thing
may do for Mexico, because Mexico
can’t help herself, but it will not do
for the United Slates.
Astronomers say that on Good
Friday, April 12, the heavenly bod
ies which gravitate round the sun
v ill be in exactly the same position
they occupied in the firmament the
day Christ di d on the cross It
will be the first time such a thing
d c it red since that great day, just
1862 years ago. This was the thirty
third year of the Christian era, which
dates from the birth of Christ. At
1 1:20 p. m., April 22, New York time
the moon will pass before Virginia
(Spical), and hide that constellation
for over an hour
The fight on big batg in places of
public amusement has just begun in
this country and sooner or later the
aforesaid big hat must go. Of course
some of the women get up an idea
that the men behind them admire
these hats, but in this they are mis
taken, for if there is anything tl a
would make a pious man blister Lis
throat with silent oaths, it is when
a fidget tv woman plants herself be¬
tween him and the stage with one of
these umbrella hats with a sky-serap
iug bunch of feathers floating first
on one side and theu on the other.
A bright lady says that her sex will
discard their bigliats if the men will
quit going out between acts “to see
a man.
Editor Snow, of the Social Circle
Sentry says he would “thank brother
Hawkins to be merciful and in the
kindness of his heart withhold some
of his good opinions of us from some
of the numerous tramp printers com
ing this way.” A few Sundays ago
two brother printers tarried a while
in Covington as the guests of the
Enterprise and asked us what kind
of an editor lived at Social
‘Best, fellow on earth,’ said we. ‘Hi S
name is John T. Snow and he keeps ;
warm lunches and feather beds for
all tiled and hungry printers, and |
has blank railroad passes for any of :
the boys who desire to ride rather
than walk, ami if necessary lie will
w 11 give you a new suit of Got lies I
and I nin you any amount of money 1
J"U need.’ They hurried toward the! !
• iicie with bright, happy faces, and ]
1.0 doubt ‘hummed’ John for a plate , |
"f soup and a bed on the floor of the j
office. We love Bio. Snow and take |
plea-tire in bragging on him the mo
ment a tramp printer shows any dis |
position to take a Heat in our sane- j
turn, and up to this time they have (
nil been in a hurry to load toward

EDITED BY MISS SALLIE V. STEWART.
j The deeds of the heroes of history
us long to lie heroic. There
was Carey, educated at the shoe ma-
1 kerbs bench, yet becoming the finest
linguist of India ; Indson, a careless,
reckless boy, rising to noblest man*
1 ] d in Christ; Hannington. always
100
h um an, but always heroic; Patou,
wor ki„g and waiting on the Lord ;
John Coleridge Patterson, gifted by
nature and by grace, offering himself
to the rudest and roughest people
with a supreme joy, because such was
the Christ life ; that other martyr
of the South seas, John Williams,
brave in death as in life, giving him¬
self always to forsaken souls; the
Mo flats in South Africa living there
half a century for the Lord. Then
there are romances of missions ; the
Jesuit heroism in North America;
the Madagascar mission ; the New
Zealand transformations ; such tales
make our best magazine stories pale
in comparison. Even the degiada
tion of these human brothers of ours
ami the dire needs of our fellow men
help to los? self in longing to help
others. There is no reason why a
missionary paper should not have as
much grace of language and vigor
of thought as the papers in the lit
erary clubs. The old story is told of
Leonasdo da Vinci, that while paint¬
ing the Last Supper, he thought
how much the “cup” meant to men,
and so lavished his love of detail
upon that When the picture was
exhibited many called out, “How
beautiful is the cub!” Next day he
painted it over, and replaced it by
t ie plainest piece of pottery, saying,
i. If in a single beholder’s mind the
c ip distracts attention from the face
of Christ, it should have no place in
my picture.” Such a principle of
art we do well to make our creed in
m s-ionary meetings—The Missiona
ry Review. i
How earnestly has too Lord com¬
mended to us Prayer for Missions,
when he says ; “Pray the Lord of
the harvest, that He will send forth
laborers into his harvest. What is
this, but a missionary prayer which
he has laid with plain words in ou ‘'
mouth ? And when he taught us
‘Our Father’ as the grayer of His
church, lie has interwfejeu missions
iut > it, so that they are To be a daily
exercise for us. 'ike the daily prayer
for bread. * * Yes, the Lord’s
Prayer is a daily prayer for missions.”
