Action of Episcopal Church
On Divorce and Marriage.
The Aral rote taken at San Francisco
last Tuesday In the house of deputies of
the triennial convention of the Episcopal
church, upon the proposed new canon re
-x. lating to divorce and remarriage, was a
grievous dfrapp'intment to a large pro-
SLTiiGU of Episcopalians. Il puts a period
of three yegrs to the hope for more strin
gent ecclesiastical tav.-s. regulating divorce
and remarriage. •
The decided action of the house of bish
ep«» a few days p-evtous. in favor of the
new canon arrested at once the attention
of the country, apd was generally regard
ed as a long step forward In placing on
the right s.de the influence of many of
the most distinguished churchmen of the
dar.--v-- ; -
Asis new well known, thia position of
the bishops was at first sustained by the
deputies, acting as a committee of the
whole. On last Tuesday, upon a vote to
reconsider, the canon was defeated by the
deputies. Until further action, which can
pot be taken for three years, the Episcopal
church, notwithstanding all the late inci
dental excitements, stands upon the same
cld greuay tr. this matter. Seme of the
rficst fearless of the Episcopal clergy now
pos.il vei> decline to perform the marriage
c. rtmony for divorced persons, while oth
ers wiih less pronounced churchly views
and more elastic social opinions, consent
to give the church's blessing and sanction
to. such marriages.
' To the laity—not of the present house
cf deputies—lt doth appear that this great
religious body, the t Episcopal church,
stands sadly in need of a canon which will
make the action of the ciergy regarding
divorce and remarriage both uniform and
consistent.
One branch of the priesthood in this
matter can only be right; both cannot
possibly be. In the natural order of things.
With the alarming increase of public
sentiment tn favor of divorcee, for many
and various causes, a large body of think
ing men and women desired to see the
Episcopal church place itself upon the
same elevated plane os that occupied by
the Roman Catholic church upon this Im
portant Question. Two such powerful and
Influential ecclesiastical organisations
could and would do a magnificent work
in lessening the growing evils arising from
jax fl 1 vfttPg yyn?;rper-1* SAd. oogiCtmeaia.-
Yhose persons who expected much on
this line from the triennial convention at
San Francisco, must possess their souls in
patience. until a new house of deputies
convenes three years hence at Boston.
The chief hope of the American people
in checking divorces and remarriages
must eome from an Outspoken and indig
nant public opinion.
One of the results of the awakening of
.« righteous sentiment for the protection
of the family and home life of the coun
try was the action a few months since of
the supreme court of-the United States, in
declaring that henceforth no divorce can
be granted in any section of the republic
■except after a legal residence of two years
tar an especial locality. Thia decision put
a stop to many an unfortunate, irregu
lar “ronmnet.” Men and women who con
templated securing release from irksome
marriage bonds by a six months* resi
dence In some cheerful, diverting city,
were made to realise that the moral sen
timent of the country was sustained by
America's highest legal tribunal.
The woman who yearns for an "affinity*
and the man who is 'oefcing for an Ideal.”
. with lawful but neglected husband, wife
and children at home, are rarely willing
to submit to hope deferred for two pro
saic years. Such romantic Individuals gen
erally discover several affinities and ideals
in the required *4 months of weary but
wholesome waiting.
It was expected that a tremendous
check would have been put upon the reck
less granting of divorces, and the ptll!
mors reckless remarrying of divorced per
sons. if the decision of the supreme court
had been supplemented by stringent di
vorce canons passed by the triennial con
vention of the Episcopal church.
Every observant man and woman must
acknowledge and realize the fact that
there do exist conditions which justify
husbands and wives in seeking relief
from humiliating 'and offensive marital
relations. There are men who so trans
gress all moral law. that no respectable
wife could be expected to live with them;
there are women so regardless of all wife
ly and motherly duties that they forfeit
the protection of every self-respecting
husband.
For men and women to continue to,live
with each other, under these unbearable,
galling circumstancea. la to bring the in
nocent parties into disrepute and con
demnation. and rightly so.
Rut a separation gtvtrg legal protection
need not imply nor prophecy remarriage.
When men and women realize that the
religious, moral and legal sentiment of
the country is against easily procured
divorces they will adjust themselves more
readily to their environment, will exer
cise more patience and forbearance with

An Express Mesaenger Defies a Rob
ber Gang.
EUGENE. Ore.. Oct. 24.—The north
bound Southern Pacific overland express,
due here at S:<2 a. m.. was held up by
robbers near Walkers station. 15 miles
south of here, at S o’clock yesterday morn
ing. and the express car was badly dam
aged, but the robbers secured little booty.
Two men boarded the train at Cottage
(Trove as the train pulled out. After pass
ing Walkers, which is four miles from
Cottage grove, they climbed over the ten
der and covered Engineer Jack Nichols
and the fireman and his helper with re
volvers. The robbers ordered the train
stopped, after which the fireman and help
er were compelled to uncouple the train
between the express car and the first
coach. Engineer Nichols was then ordered
to pull ahead. the fireman and helper be
ing left behind.
After going a short distance the train
was stopped and the robbers proceeded to
the express car. taking with them the en
gineer. The express car was blown open
with dynamite, and Express Messenger
C. Charles was ordered out. but refused to
go. and with his shotgun commanded the
situation inside the car. The robbers told
him to come out or he would be blown
up with the car. but he replied. “Blow
ahead." A fusillade of bullets followed,
riddling the car, but the messenger, who
was uninjured, kept up a continuous fir
ing inside which held the robbers at bay.
A charge of-dynamite was then thrown,
into the car with a burning fuse, but
Charles grabbed it and tbrew it outside,
where It exploded. Next the robbers com
pelled the engineer to crawl up to the
opening inside of the car, hoping to use
him as a protection from the messenger’s
shots. J>ut the messenger kept up a steady
fire over the engineer’s bead and still hekl
the robbers at bay.
The robbers then gave up their efforts
to secure the express treasure and went
for the mall. They secured the registered
mail, then cut the engine from the rest of
the train and ordered Engineer Nichols to
pull ahead, xney ran to Judkins Point, in
the outskirts of Eugene, waere they dis
embarked and ordered the engineer to
return and get bia train.
The train arrived here at 7:80 last night,
about four hours late. The news was wired
from Saginaw, and officers were out in
search of the robbers early this morning,
but as yet have secured no trace of them.
They are handicapped by having no de
scription of the men. Posses from both
Lave and Douglas counties are searching
for the bandits.

Mr. E. E. Parkes, member of the English
parliament from Grange, Hermitage Rozd,
Esgbaston, England, also interested in
English iron and steel interests and a

city yesterday.
They come as emissaries of the British
Iron and Steel Trades' association for the
purpose of Investigating the methods of
iron and steel manufacture in Alabama.
The cause of their yislt is the fact that
American iron has been making inroads
in British markets, especially the foundry
Irons produced In Alabama. A committee,
of<rhlch the above gentlemen are mem

and report the result of Investigation.
The gentlemen were joined here by Mr

A Coincidence of the Bth Ga. Battalion and the Bth Ga. Regi
ment, and the Miracle of the Hog.
BY JNO. R. WEST, Sth Ga. Band.
. I noticed some time ago an article from
Comrade I. H. Freeman of the insubordi
nation and arrest of officers and men of
the Eighth Georgia battalion. It reminds
me of a similar occurrence of the officers
of the'Eighth Georgia regiment. Not see
ing any reply from any member of my
regiment. I will attempt to give a remi
niscence of the affair.
It is true that the band of the Eighth
Georgia regiment went into the battle of
the first Manassas with all the "pomp
and glory of war,” Intent on silencing, if
possible, a federal battery In their imme
diate front. The louder the band blew, the
more terrible were the shells from the
federal battery. Seeing the uselessness of
contending with a foe whose guns were
of such a longer and deadlier range, the
brass instruments were thrown to the
four winas and each member grabbed a
gun and continued the fight on a more
equal footing. After the battle had been
won, it was found that the band had lost
three men, wounded, and one, a prisoner,
who was retaken before the fight was
over. After that fight. Instead of a detail
from the ranks the musicians were sent
to the field hospital surgeons as nurses
and cooks, and soon after the battle the
officers bought a fine set of instruments,
all of the same make and shape, and I
must say the band was the pride of the
regiment. The officers, at their own ex
pense. kept a professional leader for the
first three years.
After Longstreet’s forces had returned
to Virginia from the Chickamauga, Knox
ville and east Tennessee campaign. In the
vicinity of either Charlottesville or Gor
donsville it was decided to have a review
of Hood’s old division, and it had been the
custom of General Tige Anderson, In pass
ing through* villages, cities and on public
occasions, to request the colonel of the
Eighth Georgia regiment, whose position
in the brigade was about the center, to
sand the band to the front of the column,
vWlch was complied with up to that time.
On this occasion the field officers were all
absent,* and Captain Blackwell, of Com
pany I, was in command of the regiment.
Intead of a request. General Anderson or
dered Captain Blackwell to send the band
to the front of the brigade. As the band
was considered regimental property. Cap
tain Blackwell flatly refused, and was at
once relieved of command. The next rank
ing officer was put In command, and he
In turn ordered to send the band to the
front. He positively declined. Every offi
cer in the regiment was put In command,
and each one refused to obey the order.
At last officers of other regiments were
put In command, and the band was sent
to the front. A goodly number of the men
In ranks refused to take part In the pa
rade and threatened to smash every In
strument to pieces that night; but better
counsel prevailed. There was no court
martial for officers or men for Insubordi
nation. In a few days General Lee re
viewed Longstreet's command, but no re
quest nor order for the band, nor was
there ever one afterward. That was the
nearest to a mutiny I ever saw, not to be
one.
After the siege of Knoxville Long
street’s command went in the vicinity of
Morristown and built huts for the pur
pose of winter-quartering there, but the
Federals were Intent on keeping us from
enjoying our quietude. Every few days
they would send out a detachment to see
If we were at home. I well remember the
ear corn being issued, and it was re
ported that a squad of men went to Ma
jor Hockenhull, brigade commissary, and
positively refused to touch the corn un
less they were supplied with troughs and
halters. It was the custom of the Inhabi
tants where the army stopped any length
of time to apply for a guard to protect
their premises. Lucky was the man that
got the job. He was sure of his rations.
Our band was frequently invited to dif
ferent farms near Morristown after
night. In compensation for music the
principal repast was apples and ginger
cakes. and we would walk five miles for
the prospect of a treat. One evening
Wright, of Company B, came in from the
farm he was protecting for the band to
go there that pight, assuring us that we
would be treated like princes. Now In
our division from different commands
there was organized a pretty fair minstrel
show, having for their hall a church in
the village. To or three members of our
band belonged to the show. In order to
keep both engagements it was necessary
to start a little early, get our apples and
gingercakes, then back to the church In
time for the show. Wright piloted us
through the woods to the farm, arriving
there just before dark. The gentleman
of the house met us at the gate with a
hearty welcome. Just as we were get
ting ready to play the old gentleman ac
costed us:
"Gentlemen, are you’uns getting ready
for your performance?”
He was assured that we were about to
begin action.
“Hold a bit. Let me acquaint the women
folks on tother side of the house. If you
was to begin your racket all of a suddint
like they would be on top of yan moun
tain afore you could say scat.”
After playing a few pieces we were In
vited in to the fire. To hurry up matters
in a sort while it was proposed that we
go, as a hint to bring along the apples
and gingercakes. Impatient at last, we
arose from our seats, the old gentleman
remarking:
“Well, gentlemen, I'm monstrous glad
you come, and now I want you to bear It
in mind that whenever you feel like amus
ing yourselves why just call around.”
Our feelings can be better Imagined
than described. We were all h>r the mo

a parting salute to play “We May Be

Catarrh Is Not a Local Disease.
Although physicians have known for years
that catarrh was not a local disease but a con
stitutional or blood disorder, yet the mass of
the people still continue to believe it is simply
a local trouble and try to cure It with purely
local remedies, like powders, snuffs, ointments
and inhalers.
These local remedies, if they accomplish any
thing at all, simply give a very temporary re
lief and it Is doubtful if a permanent cure of
catarrh has ever been accomplished by local
sprays, washes and Inhalers. They may clear
the mucous membrane from the excessive se
cretion but It returns In a few hours as bad as
ever, and the result can hardly be otherwise
because the blood Is loaded with catarrhal
poison and it requires no argument to convince
anyone that local washes and s'prays have ab
solutely no effect on the blood.
Dr. Ainsworth says. “I have long since dis
continued the use of sprays and washes for
ceterrh of head and throat, because they sim
ply relieve and do not cure.
For some time past I have used only one
treatment for all forms of catarrh and the
results have been uniformly good, the remedy
I use and recommend Is Stuart’s Catarrh Tab
lets. a pleasant and harmless preparation sold
by druggists at 50c.. but my experience has
proven one package of Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets
to be worth a dozen local treatments.
The tablets are compoeed of Hydrastln, San
gulnarta. Red Gum. Guaiacol and other safe
anUseptics and any catarrh sufferer can use
them with full assurance that they contain no
poisonous opiates and that they are the most
reasonable and successful treatment for radical
cure of catarrh at present known to the pro
fession.”
Stuart’s Catarrh Tablets are large, pleasant
tasting 20 grain lozenges, to be dissolved In the
mouth and reach the delicate membranes of
throat and trachea, and immediately relieve
any irritation, while their final action on the
blood removes the catarrhal poison from the
whole system. All druggists sell them at 50c.

camp three miles through the woods was
not as calm and serene as was expected.
We were In no humor to receive the jests,
guys, etc., in passing near camps, such
as "Mister, pinch that thing’s tall and let
me hear It holler,” and “What a variety
we have here. Some brass horns, some
silver horns and a light sprinkle of green
horns." Playing our way through the
show we made our way back to camp.
Passing down a fence in a hundred yards
of our camp and In 50 yards of the col
onel’s tent of our regiment, about 10
o’clock at night, simultaneously the re
port of a gun and the squeal of a hog
claimed my attention a short distance In
my near. I could hear the hog grunt and
sure enough ran down the fence toward
me.
I was alone and stopped to await de
velopments. The hog ran up even with
me and fell over In the corner of the
fence completely exhausted. Here was a
dilemma, the colonel’s tent on the one
hand.-and the fellow that shot the hog
might track him up, so I goes to the camp
and reports my find to two of the men
that had preceded me. A council 6f war
was held, and plans for immediate action
agreed upon. My part in the understand
ing was to keep the colonel under sur
vellance. Now there was a man In our
brigade by the name of Bill Parish, and
any man In the brigade that had been
there twelve months and did not know
him, I just can’t see how he missed him.
Parish was tall, heavy built and a per
fect giant, whole-souled, and a hardy
mountaineer. On a march he could carry
more than three ordinary men. Gen. Tige
Anderson said of ‘him one day, that it
was a pity that he ever knew what a
horse or a wagon was. Such a voice!
When he spoke all tne camp knew he
was present. Mouth? Standing near the
railroad track at the foot of Lookout
mountain, one day, one of his companions
approached him thus:
“Parish, my friend, I have ever had
your welfare at heart. I have warned
you repeatedly of your imprudence and
exposuer." (Sobbing.)
“Why, I am not exposed in the least.”
“You may not think so, I dare say, but
now suppose the train was to come along
here, so near to Chattanooga, you stand

mouth for the carshed and run in.”

To begin with, the floor of his was
nothing more than soil from which grew
velvety grass—Nature’s own carpet, I
might say. but I won’t. This grass had
grown very high, and at night when
Google-I lay down to sleep, of course, It
felt soft and comfortable to him. but when
he awoke In the morning the long grass
was invariably entangled with his longer
whiskers, and it caused a good deal of
pain and thing he decided to do was to
cut the grass. Accordingly, he took the
sharpest clamshell he could find, got
down on his knees, grabbed the high
grass with one hand and cut with the
other, just the way a barber cuts a boy's
hair. But just as he was getting along
nicely the clamshe)! suddenly slipped and
cut his finger. The poor jingo Imme
diately jumped up. shouted something,
which, translated into Russian, sounded
like “holymozathawuzzadeepwunlnsky,”
and then started out of his cave for some
dry leaves with ivhich to poultlee the
wound. He had hardly put his foot out
side the door, however, when he stepped
on to a cake of. soap he had carelessly
left there a few minutes before, and he
had hardly time to count two when he
was rolling down the hill which led into
the Orlnococoa. He spun like a pinwheel
and landed with a terrific splash In the
placid waters. A lazy alligator, floating
nearby, hurried over to the spluttering
jlngler, grabbed him by the loose folds
of his toga and pulled him up on the shore
again.
"Oh—bup—Mister—bup, bup—Albertgator
—bup.” gasped Google-I, the water drip
ping from every part of his body like a
miniature cataract, “how can I ever repay

’Now, it happened that the Alligator
knew that Google-I was known all over
the jungle as an animal story jibbier, and
this was a good opportunity to hear one
of his prevaricated yarns. So the gr
mored reptile replied:
’You can repay me. Google-I, by telling
me of your ‘just how’ stories.”
“If that is all you want, I will gladly
tell you one; but first let us walk over
to that sunny spot, where I can let my
clothes dry, and while they’re drying I’ll
tell you ‘How the Camel Got the Twin
carbuncles on His Back.’ ”
L’o they walked over to the spot Indi
cated, and when the jingo had spread his
wet garments on the sand he began:
“No doubt, Mr. Albertgater, you have
heard of the Goo Goo Circus. Os course
you have, for it was known all over the
world under it, too. Well, among our
zoological attractions was a Camel with
a straight back. In fact, all camels had
straight backs at that time. Well, our
tour through Zululand was a very disas
trous one. They didn’t seem to -care for
circuses down there, and, consequently,
things went hard with the Goo Goos.
They cut down our rations frightfully,
and they paid us few and far between.
The poor Sacred Cow chewed her cud
until she was threatened with the lock
jaw. The Elephant’s trunk was all rag
ged where he had chewed It. The Zebra
had licked the stripes off long ago. But the
poor Camel was the most deceived of all.
“They continually fed him on sawdust
for bran, and when he had eaten enough
sawdust to supply a doll factory for five
years It commenced to tell on him . You
say your brother must have eaten saw
dust, Little One, and what makes you
think that? Because he told on you, eh?
You must know that everything we eat
goes to make up our muscles and bones,
but the sawdust, Instead of making bone, ;
made boards, and at last the poor Cam
el’s back was one solid piece of lumber.
And now comes the sequel.
“One rainy night the Rocky Mountain
Goat, unable to withstand the stings of
starvation any longer, devoured the entire
canvas tent which sheltered the camel.
Consequently the poor animal, unable to
loosen Its fetters, had to stand in that
pouring rain all night. And when the cir
cus people got up the next morning and
looked at the camel they almost shook
with fear. The Camel’s back was humped
up like an arch. The rain had warped the
timber in its back.

how to remedy the difficulty, and decided
to exhibit Mister Camel in the side show.

where you are?”
Noble fellow, there was but one thing
he liked better than a good square meal,
and that was another just like it. When
last heard from he was mayor of Darby
town.
Parish and a companion were shown the
hog. Falling on the hog with that pow
erful frame of his, If he didn’t squeal be
fore. he certainly couldn't afterwards. As
I did not awake the colonel to let him
know he was under arrest, It was not
deemed necessary to Inform him of his
liberty as It was so late. After getting
our meat ready it was agreed to have a
wedding of It next morning, supper and
breakfast alltogether.
By times next morning we could smell
fresh meat everywhere, fearful lest the
odor would get to the colonel. Pretty soon
I heard a scathing colloquy In the next
tent. Dupree seemed to have the floor
One of. the main things I joined this army
for was to forever banish the thoughts
you are trying to thrust on us. If I have
to submit to social equality, I’ll go at
once and engage quarters with Mose, the
colonel’s cook. John P., who the words
above were address to, was one of the
minstrels getting in late. All the water
was used on the shoat. Rather than go
to the branch he would just wait till
morning to wash off his burnt cork.
Breakfast announced, all were ready to
do justice to the meal. "All that glit
ters Is not gold.” One mouthful was suf
ficient to satisfy each one. It was amus
ing to hear the comments mad* As we
could not eat It ourselves, we were liberal
enough to offer It to all visitors and pass
ersby. Borrowing a vessel from Mose,
the colonel’s cook to prepare our feast,
he came down after it to cook his meal,
and was offered to help himself—result
the same. It wouldn’t down. Going off a
few steps he halted, returning remarked:

Now, whether It was a neglect of the
owner, or whether left so as a preventive
from marauders from both armies, I
am unable to say. No r.ia<.i.er from what
cause. It had the desired effect as far as
I was concerned. I never tackled but one

talked over it quietly for sometime, and
at last the Lion promised to do the thing
himself if the others would follow him.
So they all followed the King of Beasts,
who went oyer and unloosed the Camel,
and fold him to also follow the Crowd
down to the shore. On the shore they
were building a new pier.
"A few p-.edrivers stood about, and It
was to the. nearest of these clumsy struc
tures that the Lion led the way. When
they reached their destination the Lion
whispered something to the Ground Hog
who quickly darted away. Then he turned
to his followers, saying: ‘heuow Quads,
here stands an arch erected to the memory
of the Sea Horse who ran 12 knots in
2:02. As an honor to him, let us walk be
neath its graceful heights.’ and so saying
the Lion, with a wink. led the way be
neath the huge piledriver. The others
quickly followed, and the poor, warped
back Camel was the last on the line.
When he had reached about the middle of
Vhe piledriver a grinding sound was heard,
and as quick as a flash the large Iron
weight which hammers the big logs into
the earth came down with a dull thud
right on the Camel’s hump. And lo! the
transformation was certainly peculiar.
Tlbe center of the Camel’s back was flat,
where the weight had buried itself, but on
each side of it there was a big hump. The
Tittle Ground Log had gnawed the rope
at the right time, and the weight had flat
tened part of the back, but they could
do no more, for there wasn’t an animal
present who could catch hold of the rope
to pull the weight up again. So they de
cided to let well enough alone and hurried
off rejoicing.”
An Effective Remedy.
A little boy and girl were at opposite
ends of a long room, pretending to talk
over a “make-believe” telephone.
“Is this the doctor?" called the little
girl.
“It is. madam, It Is,” answered the lit
tle boy.
"You had better come over at once and
see a very sick lady I am nursing,” said
the little girl.
“Ahem! What is the trouble?" he ask
ed. and she replied:
"She swallowed a whole bottle of ink."
“Very serious case,” said the little doc
tor. "What have you done for her?”
“I gave her two sheets of blotting pa
per,” replied the ingenious liu.e girl.
the young physician.
"Red,” replied the nurse.
"Then,” replied the doctor, “a plaster
of white blotting paper on the soles of her
feet will cure her completely.”

GEORGIA INDUSTRIAL HOMEJ
By Dr. Walker Lewis.
It is no necessary justification •of
a thing that It succeeds. Success at
tends many an enterprise that by every
other token Is wrong. The “blind ti
ger” succeeds In secret wrong as well
as though It had a hundred eyes for
seeing. It has that many for seeing
chances to spoil and destroy. A crop
of nut grass, if not a "howling suc
cess” is a success that makes farmer
and gardener “howl." But the Geor
gia Industrial,Home succeeds without
injuring a good cause or embarrassing
faithful work anywhere on earth.
Recently I had the rare pleasure of
going to the home with the president.
Rev. W. E. Mumford, and inspecting
both the plant and its fruit. While
there, noting the work of matrons,
teachers, instructors in farming and
housekeeping, viewing the poultry, the
cattle and the crops, and studying
the faces, the bearing and the temper
of the reclaimed little outcasts, I saw.
through eyes though often dimmed
with emotions of gratitude to human
benefactors and of thankfulness to
Providence, that another great public
charity had found Its birth and Its be
ginning! There are about fifteen or
phan homes in Georgia. Were the In
dustrial Home identical with the other
fifteen, I would hail It as I would the
advent of a sixteenth angel to the
earth already blessed by fifteen other
angels. There is room, also work and
glory for twice as many as we have at
present. The other homes are for or
phan children; this Is, distinctively,
for orphans whose parents are living!
The children of dead parents can get
In here, but those of parents, worse
than dead, are especially sought after
by this Instlutlon. It Is the outcasts'
nursery. It Is their home. It is an In
dustrial Institution. It is a great school
for training children, mentally and
morally and physically, for the respon
sibilities of future citizenship here and
hereafter.
The conditions of success are appar
ent.
Like Crumley and Muller, Mumford
is a predestined man and worker. I’ve
no more doubt of his divine call to
this undertaking than I have of How
ard Crumley’s to the orphan home;
no more doubt of either than of Abra
ham’s. He is indefatiglble, wise and
tender hearted—remarkably equipped
for the call and its difficulties. He
has heard It. and he Is obedient to the
heavenly vision out of which It was
spoken for the help of outcast child
ren.
The topography of the location Is
striking. Streams and valleys and
plains and a great backbone ridge,
tnade me exclaim, as I swept the
range of its two hundred acres of
cleared timbered lands: “It was cre
ated for this very thing!” If that is
not true, then, the search for a fitting
location ended In the happy discovery
of a place for childhood’s homing,
not only fitted In Itself for that benig
nant service, but close enough to Ma
con, the state’s Central City, to be
easily accessible and remote enough
from It to be safe. Slightly northwest
of Vlneville on a great plateau, and
four miles deep in the safety and
sweetness of the country. It is doing
and It will continue to do, great work
for earth and heaven.
It is the gospel that Invites the out
cast children, but the gospel concrete
In vale and stream and plain, and
woodland, and to its bosom they are
rushing as they are rescued from de
filement and misery to be fitted for
service and God.
The success of the work is amaz
ing. Its growth is a surprise. Only
33 months old. It has increased from
one little cottage to five large ones,
from three inmates to 91. "Well fur
nished dining room, printing establish
ment and paper, bam. modern farming
Implements, academy where the boys
are taught In the forenoon, and the
girls In the afternoon, a well con
ducted farm, and two hundred acres
of fertile land, bring the market value
of the plant to fully 120,000. Over the
brow of the singular and singularly
beautiful hill that rises commandlngly
out of the stream bounded fields, the
buildings are wisely distributed.
It is a home for the children, but
they are required to make It theirs by
the proprietorship of service. The boys
learn the books of a grammar school
education, as do the girls, and they
are taught lessons of practical
Carpentry, shoemaking, shop work,
farming, printing, etc., are taught the
boys, while the girls learn sewing,'
fitting, cutting, cooking, washing. Iron
ing, neatness of dress and person. All
of them are also taught the gospel and
the principles of righteousness. The
home is entirely unsectarian and alto
gether religious in its design and man
agement.
The uplifting force that is pushing to
higher usefulness the outcasts here—
they don’t appegr outcasts indeed, but
happy children—is explained by the
motto fronting the door that ad
mits visitors and inmates Into Faith
cottage. "We have faith in God and in
humanity.”
Only faith in God, could have con
ceived of the feasibility of this enter
prise, beginning as It did without a
dollar. Whoever believes his work la 1
In God. needs but to get It In order
to succeed. The uplift of this great '
institution, like that of Stone moun- j
tain, was upon divine shoulders, and
the call for its upheaval was answered I
well. Some who laughed at Mumford, |
now concede that It was really the di
vine voice he heard In the sobs of the
outcast. Heaven bless him and hie
work, and all like work forever. An
gels stand over the roof of every child
home, whether orphanage or refuge
or family circle!
But this work means faith in human
ity from the slums and outskirts of
hopeless ruin In Atlanta, Augusta, Ma
con, Columbus. Rome; from southwest
and northeast Georgia, from all parts
of the state. Mumford has drawn the
doubly orphaned to this fireside of
mercy, because he sees, by inner vision
the worth, the future honor, the great
usefulness, of the most outcast of out
casts. Thank heaven for him and his
work; for noble Howard Crumley, for
Huckaby, for Taylor, for every man
that sees In a lost child the Lord’s lost
brother or sister, and strives to take it
through homes here to that in the sky!
They see deeper than commercialism, I
and the treasure they are after out
values the wealth of earth. Faith in \
humanity at any depth of debasement j
Is on the Increase, and even outcast I
women are coming to be seen full f
worth the saviorship of the church’s ,
best Intellects.
The Magdalena and the out
cast child are going to be helped by
the truest faith of earth, until that
faith is lost in the sight of heaven's
splendid character and citizenship. .

* SAVED BY GRACE. S
While the Sixth Florida regiment wasM
encamped near Knoxville, Tenn., in tbM
winter of 1863, all of the able-bodied mend
of the command were sent into the,'
Smoky mountains to capture
ers and deserters.
The field officers being absent or onj
sick list, the command devolved upon}
Captain Henry B. Grace, a tall, soldierly j
man and a fine officer. On the second day
of the expedition we were marching alonri
on top of a high wooded ridge, no roadi
but a narrow trial and guided by txvo,
citizens who had been pressed Into thlgj
service. In whom we had very little config,
dence.
The morning was dark, foggy and cool*,
and the men were becoming tired and 1
discouraged, when a private soldier nears
the head of the line commenced slngincJ
at the top of his voce:
" 'Twas Grace that brought us safe thug
far,
And Grace shall lead us home.”
The effect was electrical. The boys aIT
commenced singing and shouting. Captain
Grace straightened himself up to his full i
height and with quickened step we soon
reached a road which led us down into*
the beautiful valley of Horse creek*
There among those plain mountain people I
we lived on the “fat ofc the land” for sev*
eral days. C. C. GUNN.
