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 AGENTS : WANTED!

The appointment of a committee of nine—three bishops, three presbyters and three laymen—by the triennial conven tion to confer with other religious denom inations upon the question of divorce and remarriage, in order to secure broader and more widespread leg.slation, may bring about results devoutly to be wished.

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.

Ala., Oct. 24,-Axel Sah- Ua. general superintendent of the Mlllom and Askam Hemingway Iron company, limited, of Mlllom, Cumberland, England; 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 member of the British Iron Trades asso ciation. and Mr. Parkes, Jr., arrived in the 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 bers, was appointed to visit this country and report the result of Investigation. The gentlemen were joined here by Mr J. Stephen Jeans, president of the British Iron and Steel Trades association. Speaking of the inroads of American Iron and steel Mr. Sahl in admitted that there was a growing demand for them in Great Britain and that the growth of this demand was at the root of the visit to this country.

MONDAY, OCTOBER 28, 1901. 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 ment like the boy the calf run over. Get ting out Into the yard it was proposed as a parting salute to play “We May Be Its True Character. 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. |or complete treatment. Happy Yet,” by another that Schwab, a German, should sing “When the Swallows Homeward Fly.” Schwab replied: “If I had vings I be In a good plight to fly. Dere Is noddlngs In my stomach to weight me down. You done play plenty h— al ready I brqbose you give um “Jordan am a hard road to trabble.” Going back to 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 ing so nearby, it might mistake your mouth for the carshed and run in.” Henry Landrum, 'of company A, was fanning himself near Petersburg one day in August.and walked up and looking up at him asked him if it was hot up there where he was? Replying, Parish expecto- t Why the Camel Has Humps on His Back ■; X rs ;; Now it happened. Little Ones, that on 77the first day of May old Google-I deci ded to clean his house, or cave. I should say, and the wild dwellers of the jungle did not venture nefcr him, for they scen ted danger and knew that the old jingo j was In a very umpbgasant mood. And, Little Ones, whetffifyu have grown up t and live through afcitfusecleanlng season you will not mentally unbalanced bn tbe occasion of which I sneak. 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 you?” ’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. "Os course, the manager did not know how to remedy the difficulty, and decided to exhibit Mister Camel in the side show. rated, saying: "Is it raining down there 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: “I’ll des hab to bun dis pan. de colonel wuz ailing all day yistldy, an’ us he gits a whiff ur dis scent, all dat truck Dr. Jackson gin him to stay his stomic ull fetch about er reaction, hit sho’ will." 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 more after that—it,was day time and I could see.

This Is the greatest offer ever made and you should take advantage of it without delay. But the other animals thought differently, and decided to bring the Camel’s back to its normal condition. If possible. They 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.” POINTS ABOUT PEOPLE.

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. .

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.
