The first page of one or two sounded very well, but when I L turned and saw the other side I did not read another word. My time is too limited to read letters that I know cannot be pub itahed Several letters have come on doctrinal subjects. If you will write on such topics, do so and then mail them in the rove. It will save postage and the envelope. I have never seen any good from arguments on religious topics. Busy Bee is right, the Apostles Creed is what all Christians Should use as a foundation. And if one does not believe in punishment after death, it makes the Bible a lie. I sometimes get letters asking me to see about certain people or things and an swer in Chat. I try to make Chat inter esting to the majority of the readers, and if I filled it up with answers to personal questions it would not be that. A ques tion that is not worth a stamp enclosed is not going to get answered. Last week I had four letters asking me if the letters that went to the waste bas ket eould be counted among the four that entitled one to a badge. Now, I ask you to please use sense along that line. And in spite of my request for money orders or registered letters I’ve received two letters that had money loose in them A lady wrote me that she sent me some money several months ago. Fortunately she sent it in a money order, 'so I went to the postoffice and found it there. As the order had not reached me I had to sign a paper to that effect, and In ten days a duplicate will be sent me from Washington Suppose she had care lessly put it in the letter? Sometimes a letter runs to the very bottom of the page and the name is signed on the other side, or in such a cramped fashion that nobody ean make it put. If you want my thanks you will not crowd your words, and will leave at least an inch at the top and half an tach at the bottom of every page. I really need that much. I am sorry to state that some letters that come to me are copied out of books and other papers. When I recognise them I quietly put them in the waste basket; but. unfortunately. I do not always catch them I don’t mean to say that this hap pens often, and I believe that many times it means that the writers intend to say that they copied them, but in the hurry the quotation marks are left off. Let s be more careful in the future. I know ! that two people can think on the same subject and use almost the same words in • <xpressir.fr it.

Dear Mias Tbomaa: I have intended writing for aeveral days, but being so busy picking cot ton J have put it off. Miss Thomas. I want to tel! you that Chat in Friday's paper. Octot*r 1. was unusually good. If the world only had more men aa steadfast as Moses was. There ' were also some fexx! letters in the same •is sue. for instance Dawson Falls. Noble T. Beall and Mrs. Minnie Christian, but. dear me. there • are so many good ones from time to time it I would keep one busy to name them. This is rather late to exchange ideas on picking cot ton. bul. anwyay. I want to tell you how we manage to get good work out of smr.ll children, making it both profitable and a pleasure also. We always pick with them, telling them that we must gather it all ourselves to keep from hiring and being bothered with worthless ne groes. Then we run races, and will offer a premium, sometimes five cents, sometimes a dime, or a quarter for the one that will beat out. or a dollar for the one that will beat cut • the most times through the day. I try with ' them and such a merry jolly time as we do I have everyone trying to see who can rev “out” ■ first. Some of you that never go to the field ■ will wouder how I find time to pick cotton. 1 neglect some tilings at this season, but not to many as one might suppose, for when we pick cotton all handa cook and wash dishes and do any tiling that comes to band. And, oh! how I do enjoy the outdoor exercise: It's so much better for my health than staying indoors all ; the time. And it makes the work seem more of a pleasure to the children than a burden. I can't tell anybody how to raise children, but I do know that their minds need to be kept occupied all the time, and if there were more children made to work when they are not in school there would be less mischief going on. Pauline, you are a dear girl, and I hope you have seen where you did right ere this. My •John” is a sober man and is so good to me that I can't grumble, but I have never beard him say, •‘Children, you must read a chap er in the Bible.” or "You must go to Sunday school,” and I must say that bearing the burden of two is heavier than one. Oh. fathers of Our House hold. let me beg you to help the mothers to sup ply the little ones with soul food, for that is much more Important than looking after the !!• tie bodies. I meant to send some recipes this time, but look how my pen has run. I have sent In a plea for more space to be given Our Household, sc. all you good writers, let's try to make It more interesting than ever before. Love to all. KITTY WELLS. The Music of Life ‘ There are many things that help to mak» the music of this life—kind words, kind thoughts and kind deeds are In the power of an. J’he mind that lies sunny to the world, tnnt 1 radiates light and scatters darkness; the uand 1 that wipes sw-.y th« tears of sorrow end throws a ray of sunshine along the path of lire. ”A little word In kindness sjx>ken, A motion or a tear, | Will often heal the heart that’s broken. And make a friend sincere.” A great part of the love Inspired by such rouls comer from the attitude of minds toward others and the generous helpful thoights they continually holo Such a thought habit enlarges the lire, met low* expertente, harmonises the faculties and promotes health. The thoughts we hold toward those about us will help or binder them. The giving of noble, generous thoughts, or the holding of a kindly, helpful. Inspiring attlt'Mt* may be of infinitely more value than we can imagine. Where Is the place that a sunny disposi tion is more needed than In our homes? There is one whose face ever smiles fondly On us from memory's wall—'tls mother, bhe it is who never grows tired of listening' to baby’s griev ances and stands ever ready to kiss away our aches and pains. She teacnes us to lisp out first prayer. "Now I lay me.” Her feet nave rocked the ertdle from which have sprung our Immortal heroes. Her hand has lit the sacred torrb of Christianity. Fondly do our hearts wnis per. anywhere will be borne if mother is there Go ont into th* world end ask the weary man. as be toile through a day of cere and worry, bow much tbe sunshine of this life would tie clouded without a loving face to greet him hi tbe door; a kind, sympathetic voice to cheer away tbe day's vexatlcns. Me will ten you it is borne, sweet home, with a woman's 10.-< there. It is tbe love and sympathy of all tne dear faces that form tbe family circle torn makes borne the dearest spot on earth, an. that ie music indeed. Tbe music of childhood's merry prattle, tne faces of tbe dear father and mother around tbe fireside; tbe form of some lad or lassie; the memory of the absent who have gone from us forever, or now with strangers make their home. Perhaps some are "upon the world of wa ters forced to roam.” Perchance some "navi reached a fairer region.” but memory evhr liv etb. and contributes to echo tbe music of lire. Tbe voice of tbe moaning wind outside; the felling leaves and faded vines clinging to\tbe room, the gentle falling snow that is forming a robe of white over motber earth; tbe suriit ery of the night bird, all blend their voices in harmony with tbe music of life. But, ah! ia>that all? Ob. no! Fame cries: Behold the heroes who have died for their coun try. who, amid tbe toar of the cannon, tbe clash of word* and the tramp of battle stood bravely at their peels and cheerfully laid down rneir lives for their coentry's call, and only regretted they had but one life to give. See tbe brave women, Joan of Arc. Florence Nightingale and others, who g’adly gave their ail to the coun tries they loved. Think of George Washington. Abrabam Lin- THE ATLANTA SEMI-WEEKLY JOURNAL.

A Plea for Old Age Dead Householders: Millington Ralph Smith’s letter Interested me; for no one can concelv-* of a spectacle more calculated to lead the mind to serious reflections than that of an aged person who has mitspent a long life and who, when standing near the end of life’s journey, looks down the long vista of his years only to recall opportunities unimproved. Now. that it is all too late, he can plainly see where he passed by in heedless haste the real gems of life In pursuit of the glittering gewgaws of pleasure, that, when gained, like tbe apples of Sodom, turned to a«hes in his very grasp. What a dlf ferent course would be pursued if Time would but turn backwards in his enpid flight. au<i he be allowed to commence anew to wea-e the tangled web of life, but this is not vouchsafed him and well that tt Is no. for we now see the necessity of doing our best while time and op portunity are ours. I know the way some times looks long and discouraging, but let's have our motto. “What has been done can not be undone, ami I can but go forward to the best of my ability, and If I fall after having done my best with a breve heart and Cheerful fact. I will tnke what duty points out to me. But if success crowns my efforts I will so use my own that ill may be benefited.” I am glad that It is only a step We have to make at a time; Though the way may seem very dreary. To us. and the hills seem hard to climb. Let ns bear tn mind that there is sufficient time for each individual step required in a well-spent life, and to land us in our graves tn peace. I feel Interested in the young people of our country and as I am numbered among them, I can plainly see where some of them are having n better change than they deserve. Some one may say that she doesn't know how people can have too good a chance, but some of them have all the luxuries that this world can ab ford, and yet they are not satisfied. They are not trying to Improve their opportunities for helping others. They are out of the dis charge of their duties and are therefore the most discontented of people. I must say that I can’t help bqjng a little partial to the old people. I don't see how anv one can afford to mistreat them: thetr struggles have not been Just a few, their bodies were once as strong a* ours, the tint of the rose was on their cheeks. They were at one time young and had to a great extent the same thoughts, ambitions and activities that we have today. Now that time has sprinkled its snow on their heads, their bodies have grown weaker and their frames well-nigh bent with the weight of years and racked with pain, these are they that bold a warm place in my heart. According to nature they cannot be here much longer, so be good to them while they are with us. Some of us will, more than like ly. live to be old. and as people grow older they become more like a child, and little kind noe'ses are gr« at ones in their sight. Let’s strive to make their last days pleasant. And | f they should say or do anything that would ross hard on your mind in an unpleasant way. ,u>t loos oxer it with a forgiving heart, won't ou? I know I have stayed a long time, but I must say our noble Mrs. Felton has my sym pathy in her sad bereavement. Here are greet ings to all the old members and a welcome to 'he new otu-s and an invitation for all to come back. Sincerely yours, FLORENCE STONE. A Plea for Sunday School Dear Miss Thomas: I have been an interested reader of the Household from its very first issue. I was among the first to write, and re ceived the nice Japanese souvenir card from you. Almost every subject imaginable has been dis cussed fp Our Household, but very little has | been said on the Sunday school question. Yon all agree we need a good education, bnt will you agree with me when I say we need a T ?lble education more than anything, and the Sunday school is one of the best places to study the Bible that we have. We Join the church, we promise to attend upon all its ordinances. I believe this promise binds us to attend Sunday ' school as much as it does preaching. People are too careless about attending Sun -1 day school. They seem to think if they attend 1 preaching once a month (and that on Sunday!, and pay the preacher 50 cents or. maybe a dol lar a year, they have done thetr whole duty. The Sunday schools in most nil our country churches are too much neglected. People will ' say it is Just too far for me to go to Sunday i school, or it is too hot, or too cold, I Just can't go. I don't believe God will accept any such ex cuses. I am g-lad I was taught to attend Sun day school. I have attended Sunday school al most every Sunday since I have been old enough Ito go. I hardly ever miss my Sunday school to go to an nil day singing, or May mee-lnga, and least of all to go visiting, and when I do ' I feel real meat) over it. I love my Sunday school and it hurts me to see it so sadly neg lected. Now I will close by saying I have a lot of übe rose bulbs I would like to exchange for hyacinths, any color except purple. Will send one bulb for each bnlh sent. With love to all the Household, I now say good-by. ALMA WESTBROOK. Gainesville. Ga.. R. No. 1. Busy Bee Explains Dear Ml«« Thomas: May I again have a sett in vewtr cosy parlor? I want to chat with our ttonseholdcrs and there are so many things I want to «ay that I hardly know how to begin this letter. So mitnv misunderstood my mean ing in some <>f my last letters that I want to make myself plain to them, whoever thev are, or wherever they dwell. My friends. I am no f’nlversallst. nor ever will be. I believe there Is a hell prepared for the wicked, and 1 ar.i striving to keep out of that broad road that !• n<|s to “hell, or eternal torment.” I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth and in Jeans Christ, His only Son. our Lord, who vns conceived by the Holy Ghost horn of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. Continued on Opposite Page. The Disciples of Christ By Frederic J. Harkin Delegates from all over the world are gathered at Pittsburg this week to cele brate the 100th anniversary of the relig ious denomination known as the Disci ples of Christ, or more commonly, the Christian church. On September 26, 1803, Alexander Campbell promulgated his "Declaration of Principles,” and from that date and document grew this great religious body. The discipies uow number 1,500,000, more than 1.000.000 belonging to I churches in the United States. This is the I nly purely American Christian denomina tion, and its growth in the last few years has been more rapid than that of any zith er Protestant denomination. Its member ship haft Increased 80 per cent in the past 18 years, and it ranks sixth in numerical strength in the United States, coming af ter the Roman Catholics, the Methodists, the Baptists, the Lutherans and the Pres byterians, in the order named. • • • A unique feature of the celebration in Pittsburg is the great roll of the church. For many months the congregations throughout the world have been sending in the rosters of their active members |to the general centennial headquarters jand they now have the names and ad- I dresses of more than 1,060.000 of their com municants. From these, the great roll has been prepared, and after the centen nial is over this roll probably will be de posited in the library of congress. • • • The opening of the centennial exer cises did not begin with the Pittsburg celebration, where only the comparative ly few could be present. It began wherev er a spire of a church of the disciple’s faith points skyward, whether in Europe. Asia, Australia, or the Americas. Perhaps 3.000,000 worshipers took part in these ex ercises. It was on September 26—Declara tion day, as they called it—the centennial anniversary of Campbell’s great promulga tion of principles. Seven thousand min -1 isters, at the morning service, preached on tho subject, “Where the Scriptures Speak,” In the evening their subject wai “A Generation of Bible Students.” In [this sermon they reviewed the history of their great leaders. Perhaps never be fore has there been such elaborate prep arations for a simultaneous world-wide religious historical celebration. e • « • A great spirit of missionary zeal has been awakened among the disciples dur ing this centennial year. With a record of growth seldom, if ever, equaled, in the hundred years behind them, they have turned their faces to the future in plans for new efforts. With 160,000 students now in the teachers’ training classes of their Sunday schools, they are campaigning for 50.000 more. Not only that. They want 10.000 preachers in their ranks; M 0,000.000 more of assets; every church to nave mission; every preacher a pulpit; every hurch well housed; and every church debt paid. Today they have about 7,000 ordain ed ministers and 11,000 churches. The history of the disciples Is filled with events of human Interest. The church started at a time when skepticism was al most the rule and disbelief far from un common. ifi 1795 only four or five of the students at Yale were members of the church. Princeton had a student body in which belief In Christianity was not much more prevalent. William and Mary was a hot-bed of unbelief. Transylvania uni versity, forerunner of the University of Kentucky, founded by the Presbyterians, was in the hands of those who repudiated the principles of Christianity. Bishop Meade said that in 1810 he expected to find every educated young man a skeptic if not indeed a disbeliever. Chancellor Kent said that the majority of profession al men at that time were unbelievers. Tn 1800 there was but one Congregational church In Boston which adhered to the old faith. Men went to hear the eminent Dr. Griffin dressed in disguise rather than face the gibes of their friends. a • • It was just about this time that there was an awakening. A great revival swept over the country and the evangelical churches were aroused to unprecedented activity. Out of this movement grew the founding of the Disciples of Christ. Their action was a protest against sectarianism. They wanted to lay aside all the doctrinal differences that were not essential to sal vation, and find a common ground where all denominations could unite under a single banner. “Where the Scriptures Speak, We Speak, and where They are Silent, We are Silent,” was their motto, meaning that to each individual was to be left everything but those things which all Christians admitted were essential to salvation. First they started out as an association pledged to work for the unifi cation of the churches of all denomina tions, but after having their efforts to promote such an end set at naught by those to whom they made overtures, they concluded to establish a church. This was at Brush Run, Pa., in 1810. It was not long after this until Alexander CampUßll HER PHYSICIAN ADVISED Taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound Columbus, Ohio. —“I have taken Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Com- pound during change of life. My (doctor told me it was good, and since taking it I feel so much better that I can do all my work again. I think Lydia E. Hnkham’s Vegetable Com pound a fine remedy for all woman’s troubles, and 1 Inever forget to tell r my friends what it has done for me.” —Mrs. E. Hanson, 304 East Long St.. Columbus, Ohio. Another Woman Helped. Graniteville, Vt. ‘‘l was passing through the Change of Life and suffered {rom nervousness and other annoying ymptoms. Lydia E. Pinkham’s t ege table Compound restored my health and strength, and proved worth mountains of gold to me. For the sake of other Buffering women I am willing you should publish my letter.” Mrs. Charles Barclay, R.F.D., Granite ville, Vt. Women who are passing through this critical period or who are suffering from any of those distressing ills pe culiar to their sex should not lose sight of the fact that for thirty years Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound, which is made from roots and herbs, has been the standard remedy for female ills. In almost every commu nity you will find women who have been restored to health by Lydia E pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. YOU NEED NO MONEY. MAGNIFICENTLY DECORATED C B 3 E? E?

' reached his famous conclusion that a week's debate was worth a year’s preach ing, a conclusion that led to many very noted controversies In the form of re ' liglous debate. It was during these de bates that Campbell learned the power of the press, and he was always ready to make use of it thereafter. His debate with Price at Lexington, Ky.. in 1842. at which Henry Clay was president of the board of five moderators, was one of the most remarkable religious discussions in history. • • • The Brush Run congregation joined the local association of Baptist churches, and for many years the followers of Campbel! were subscribers to the Baptist faith Later, however, they broke away from Baptist moorings, and soon the church of the Disciples of Christ became an insti tution. Since then It has steadily ex tended Its membership and its influence until today It is one of the greatest forces tn the religius world. • • • President Garfield was a member of the denomination, and was at one time president of one of its colleges. Before he was elected president of the United States the. church In Washington was a struggling body, sometimes meeting in rented halls, sometimes in private houses, and at one time in a house on wheels. Then it became necessary to get a proper place to worship, and that resulted in the building of the first church in the cap ital city. Garfield took the deepest in terest In the program, and asked that it, be an undersized rather than an over sized edifice, and that it should be un adorned and as plain as possible. Be- . fore Garfield came. Judge Jere Black, of. Pennsylvania, was one of the regular at tendants. One day his whiteheaded negro | coachman, jealous of the .honor of the | family, and impressed with the danger that threatened that honor by the car rltgq of the family standing in front of a rtttte hall during divine services, re minded his master that it was a mighty insignificant piece for big folks to go. and that he would like to drive his* team down among those of the Presbyterians during the service. The request was ac ceded to, -and Uncle Joe died thinking he had saved the social and religious rep utation of the Black family. Many were the overtures that the dis ciples maoe toward other churches look ing to union. But they all ended as did the ont made by the Protestant Episcopal church in 1886. That looked for unity, and the Disciples received the overtures. The representatives of the two churches met after preliminary proceedings. Each sub mitted a description of itself, and laid dffwn bases which they declared “incapa ble of compromise or surrender.” Neither would be content with much less than the absorption of the other. Nothing came of it. The people who constitute the church of the Disciples of Christ are strong be lievers in church literature, and they sup port more denominational weekly papers than any other church of its numbers. About 30 periodicals, most of them week lies. are published by the church. Their ablest writers contribute to the most of them, and one of the secrets of the won derful growth of the church has been its prolific current literature. The Disciples also have a deep and abiding interest in education. Starting with the founding of Bethany college by Alexander Campbell, the movement for the education of the ministers as well as of the laity has gone forward by leaps and bounds until today the Disciples have some schools that compare with the best in* the land. Garfield was one of its earlier college presidents, and his services at Hiram college are still remembered by those who saw him rise from bell ringer to college president, and go from there via the congressional route to the presidency of the United States. CYNTI-IIA GREYS LETTERS Three girls, "Mercedes,’’ "Evelyn” and ! "Priscilla,” have written me a letter ask- I ing me all kinds of questions. I First is this one—hdw can one make a big nose small? I’m sure I don't know. I I don't believe it can be done. i Next, they ask for a good remedy for pimples and blackheads, which they have probably seen by this time in our col- I umn. ! And they also w r ant to know how one | can tell when one is in love. Elizabeth I Barrett Browning answers that question j in one of her poems: "Unless you can muse in a crowd all day On the absent face that fixed you; I Unless you can love as the angels may, With the breadth of heaven betwixt you— Oh, never call it loving.” ! “What are the new fall colors, and will ' the new faddy dresses be worn this win- I ter?” is the next question. The amethyst I shades are the most oopular. Rose and I different shades of green are also very I good. Yes, the “faddy” dresses are still iin style, if you mean the one-piece dresses, but they are not so extreme. ( Your delicate colored wash dresses I should be dipped in a salt water and vin • egar solution, equal parts, before being i washed. Then they will not faae.
