EASY COLEE, EASY GO.
We have been reading: about the Jew
el theft3 at Newport, R. I., where one
rich woman lost $100,000 worth and an
other rich woman lost $75,000 worth
next day. If I had been at Newport or
even in little Cartersville, and could
boast of that much money invested in
pearls and diamonds, it seems to me that
I would have had sufficient common
■sense to understand that it was riSKy
to be leaving the jewels around care
lessly, as it is evident these ladies flung
theirs around in a very careless way.
One of them had thirty servants in
the house, and it is likely the other had
as many. It also appears that both
ladies are convinced that outside thieves
were the guilty ones. That speaks well
for the thirty servants as well as the
owners of the valuables, but nobody
can be certain and the story will be a
mixed affair until the thieves are run
down and captured.
But there is one abiding comfort in
this incident, namely, the money came
easy to those who lost it, and if they
never see a pearl or a diamond of that
collection again, they are certainly able
to lose, while that much money lost by
poorer people could ill be spared. So it
is easy come and easy go.
But there is a worthy lesson in this
noted theft of rich women’s jewels. The
owners will be more careful hereafter,
and the servants will be more closely
attentive to their duties. With thirty
servants under one roof, it would have
.paid the owners to have detailed a con
fidential servant to watch the jewel
cases, day and night.
ture deliberation, ask leave to submit
the following report:
The Confeedrate prices of money from
May 1. 3 861 to May 1, 1865.
IN CASE OP ACCIDENTS.
When one catches on fire, don’t run,
especially out of doors. Roll on carpet
or wrap up in a woolen rug or over
coat. By all means keep from inhaling
flame. In the universal use of kero
sene it is well to rember that fire
spreads from lamp oil when water is
poured on it. Try to wrap in a woolen
rug, table cover or carpet. Don’t throw
on water.
People faint from various causes.
Don’t forget to lay the fainting one
down, head lower than the heels. Carry
a little bottle of spirits of ammonia in
your hand bag and get the fainting one
to drink a few drops along with a gill
of water. It will help to revive a weak
person even quicker than whiskey.
For cinders in the eye try a flax
seed. It will soon create a mucilage
film and hold the cinder where you can
remove it. If you can find the cinder,
at once, make a roll of soft paper like
a cone, dampen the small end and touch
the cinder. It may take it out easily.
Sometimes the cinder burns the eye
ball. Then you must doctor for inflam
mation and wait awhile.
Cover burns with cooking soda and
lay wet cloths on it. Olive oil mixed
with chalk or whiting will help the
sufferer.
We hear a great deal about light
ning strokes. Pour water quickly on
the struck person. Sunstroke needs ice
water bags on the head.
If venomous insects sting you apply
weak ammonia or tobacco quids. Iodine
is good also.
I am told that drowned persons can
be revived by breathing strongly into
the mouth of the patient and rubbing
vigorously.

a longer walk than usual. She was go- worked as unsparingly as if that were
ing clear round by Pink street, though ; the first task of the day for her. When
she well knew that her neighbors and
acquaintances would have stared , in
disdain to see her there. It was not
disreputable, but unfashionable. That
was why Miss Betsy had moved away.
She had been made to do so by her

EYED, VIVACIOUS.
dominating younger sister Clementine,
and she had never ceased to be sorry.
Now, as she entered the beloved, dearly
familiar thoroughfare, her steps fal
tered, her eyes dimmed with eager re
membrance. It was the street where
Miss Betsy had been born and where
she had lived all her life till half a
dozen years before. She had walked
the sidewalks as a child, as a girl, and
as a woman, in joy and heartbreak, in
hope and disillusion. Each and every
thing bore witness to her of the sweet
and sad things of her life.
Past the double array of dingy
houses Miss Betsy passed and came
at last to the dingiest of all—and the
dearet. She paused at the gate to
gaze at it. The May bush beside the
feeble porch was budding.
“It’s grown a yard higher,” she
thought. “And that biggest branch
was the littlest when we lived here.
I wonder if the orioles ever build in
the old maple now. I see the daffo
dils back there have come up as usual.
I’d like to know if they’ve blossomed
this year. I thought they needed at
tention last fall. That was the last
time I was here. Walking isn’t so easy
for me as it once was.”
She sighed and rubbed the gate post
with her finger. ‘It needs fresh paint,
but I guess it’ll have to do without
for a spell yet,” she thought. “Clem
entine wants another piece of mahog
any. She’ll have it, of course. And
there goes the paint money. Well, this
paint has hung on well. And the
folks don’t seem very particular. I
wish they’d pay a little faster. They’re
quite a good deal back on their con
tract, Lawyer Birdsall says. And we
need the money to live on. It seems
like eating up the body of a friend to
live on the old place this way. I
wouldn’t care if we’d just rented it.
But Clementine wouldn’t hear to that.
‘If you rent it you’ll want to go back
to it,’ she said. Maybe she was right.
Maybe I would. I can’t go back to it
now. for it’s sold on a contract. And
there’s the house we live in. Well,
I must go on, Clementine’s expecting
me.” She hoisted up the net bag,
heavy with parcels, and started to move
on.
“Betsy! Betsy Bush!”
The cracked old voice behind her
made her turn quickly.
“Dorinda’s been watching you out
of the window.” said an old man. “She
sent me to see if it was you. We
all was in order she crept up the back
stairs and sought her quiet, little ba.ck
room that when the house was planned
had been set aside for a maid.
In it were the old things Betsy had
brought from a similar room in the
old house. The tufted counterpane,
the* crocheted bureau mats, the rug car
pet. and the old-fashioned pictures
were strongly reminiscent of the old
home. In this room, surrounded by
these things Miss Betsy was as happy
as she ever expected to be "on this side
of eternity.
Entering, she felt restraint slip from
her. and she lay down upon the tufted
counterpane. A gray-brown bird
lighted on the window ledge and peer
ed at her through the glass. She smiled
at it.
“Pretty little creeter,” she said.
“Birds ain’t so common here as they
were on Pink street. The motors and
such scare them away. Dear old
home!” She snuggled deeper into her
pillow. "Maybe it’s wicked to hate
this house the way I do. But I never
wanted it. It, was Clementine’s doing.
She was bound to be fashionable. And
she couldn’t be stylish anywhere but
in this house. It cost so much—too
much. We’ve had to pinch and skimp
and squeeze to make an appearance. I
don’t know how it will end. I’m get
ting discouraged. I’m getting tucker-
plan. Clementine never did have any
head for business. And I’m getting too
old.”
And then, somehow, she found her
self back in the old house. Around
her were all the precious belongings
that had looked so out of place in
ed out mentally trying to contrive and
the new house and had annoyed
Clementine so terribly. And there
was Dorinda. a big and smiling, hob
bling in on her crutch and saying

“IT’S HOME,” SHE ADDED SOFTLY.
“Betsy Bush! Betsy! Wake up.”
Gone was the old house and Do
rinda. It was only a dream, and
Clementine was awakening her. ‘‘Are
you awake, Betsy?” she demanded.
“When you are I’ve got something to
tell you.”
“I’m awake,” Betsy said, sitting up.
“Well, then, listen! *1 don’t know
whether you’ve ever thought that Mr.
Birdsall had any other reason than
business in coming here. But he had,
I was the reason. He has asked me
to marry him. I’m going to, of
course.” Clementine came around to
the bed and* sat down. “Kiss me,
Betsy,” she said.
Betsy kissed her gently. “I’m very
glad, dear.”
“I didn’t know whether you’d be
or not. You’re so much older and
different, Betsy. And marriage never
seemed to be in your line somehow.
CHURCH TO CELEBRATE
SEVENTY-SECOND YEAR
QUITMAN, Ga., Aug:. 9.—Old Liberty
church, at Grooverville, in this county,
will celebrate the seventy-second anni
versary of its founding with a “home
coming day" next Saturday, August 16.
An Invitation has been issued to every
person who is or has been a member of
this churcn, or has any associations
with its history, to be present.
One of the chief features will be an
address by Rev. J. M. Rushin, of Bos
ton, on the “History of Liberty Church
Since Its Earliest Days.” Judge J. G.
McCall of Quitman, will follow with
an address on the history of the Baptist
church in south Georgia.

A feverish light sprang into Betsy's
eyes. “No, no,” she cried. “I don’t
want it sold,. I—”
“What are you going to do, Betsy?”
Betsy smiled. Her dream possessed
her. “I’m going there to live. You
can have this house, you and Mr. Bird-
sill. Don’t speak just yet, Clementine.
Let me. I’ll take roomers for com
pany. There’ll be plenty of space down
stairs for me. And the old stuff will
furnish it. Don’t you see. Clementine?”
“Yes, I see,” mused Clemantine,
frowning. “But it looks unnecessary.
The house is plenty big enough for all
of us. I don’t see what you want to go
back on Pink street for. And to that old
housue. It’s really a horrid old house,
Betsy.”
“Maybe,” said Betsy. She drew a
deep, hungry breath. Her eyes widened
with happy visions of the future—un-
Clementined, peaceful, living in her own
way under the dearest roof tree in the
world. “It’s home,” she added, softly.
And she did not wonder that Clemen
tine looked puzzled. For it would be
sixteen years yet before Clemantine
learned all that word meant.

“Landy, no! You’re too stylish for

you like your big house, Betsy?
Hdw’s Clementine like it?”
“Clementine likes it. But I can’t

to gpt a peep at things over here. I’m
not as good a walker as I once was,
and I keep in the house more. But
I don’t forget if I don’t come. 1

lest Steven see the tear on her cheek.
“Good-by. Steven. Take my love and
plenty of it to your wife. Tell her i
wish I was right back here beside
her. Tell her—oh, pshaw! What’s
the use? Good-by, Steven.”
She went on as hastily as her par
cels, her rheumatism and her tear-
blinded eyes would let her. “Some
times,” she thought, “I feel like I’d
never 'go near that place again, it

It was a weary way home. Th«»

cleanly thoroughfare and had three
stories and was Venetian-blinded

opened and Clementine appeared.
Clementine was tall, black-eyed, viva

linen.

bag on the table. “Ob, dear! I wish

“There are some things that need

“Oh, dear!” Clementine

A CONGREGATION is something more •
than a crowd, as a well organized
regiment is something more than a mob.
The derivation of the word “congrega- j
t.ion” implies that it is a body assembled
like a flock, all of a kind and under a
common leadership. But this original
meaning of the word, together with the
conception which it expresses, has al
most vanished from the minds of
churches and preachers. A different sig
nificance now attaches to the word, and
a different idea prevails with reference
to a body of mefl and women in a place
of worship. If a large crowd assembles
to hear a man deliver a discourse more
or less related to the gospel, it is said
“he had a great congregation”. But did
he? Was it not merely a large audience
which sat in the pews before him?
A congregation is a collection of peo
ple of kindred natures, pursuing a com
mon aim, and animated by a common
spirit. Accordingly the Jewish people
when they wandered in the wilderness
led by the pillar of cloud and organized
around the Tabernacle of God, were
called “the congregation of the Children
of Israel”. So also the Scottish Re
formers in the days of Queen Mar>
designated their church as the “Congre
gation of Christ”. Both the Israelites,
with Moses at their head, and the Scot
tish Presbyterians, led by John Knox,
were bound together by a great com
mon purpose and filled with a common
spirit; the Israelites were bound for the
promise land and the Scots were bent
on the reformation of Christianity in
their country.
But in many churches now there is no
common object among the members and
no comon spirit upon them. They come
together at stated times to hear a man
give a homiletic oration, preceded and
followed by some musical numbers fur
nished by a choir and an organist. They
make up an audience, but in no proper
sense can they be called a congregation.
They come to be entertained rather than
to worship. Indeed the element of wor
ship has all but perished in very many
churches. God is out of mind as com
pletely as if the people were assembled
in a lecture hall or a concert room. The
style of the preacher’s discourse and
the character of the music supplied by
the singers engage exclusive attention.
If the preacher pours contempt upon
all the beliefs which the people are sup
posed to hold, it makes no difference to
them, provided he does it in an inter
esting manner. The music may be bet
ter suited to the opera house than to a
place of worship; but it is quite ac
ceptable, provided it is well rendered by
pleasing voices.
The mistaken view which is involved
in thus turning a church into a place of
entertainment and neglecting the wor
ship of Almighty God, was set forth
recently in a well-considered editorial
in the Philadelphia American from
which the following extract is taken:
“Week by week, in the name of
the Church, which embraces all de
nominations, we have been urging
the public to attend religious serv
ice.
More than once the artswer has
come back; “I went, but I did not
like the preacher.”
The time has come for a frank
word.
We are not basing our appeals
upon the ability of the preachers.
We do not Invite you to go t.o
Church to hear orations or essays.
Nobody knows better than the
preachers themselves how far short
of their purpose many sermons come.
All questions of metre human abil
ity aside, even as a spiritual mes
sage for hungry souls—a word from
God for those whb seek the Father
—the sermon is sometimes unsatis
factory.
Perhaps if the public knew how
often the preacher agonizes in pen
itent prayer over this, they would
be less censorious.
The cardinal truth of the matter
Is this: We do not go to Church,
primarily, to enjoy a good sermon.
A congregation is not a mere audi
ence: a crowd met to hear a man
talk. It is an assembly for the wor-
All questions of mere human abil-
ship of God.
The preacher would be the last
man to claim that it is by the wis
dom and learning and eloquence of
the pulpit that the Church has been
brought thus far on her conquering
way. Far, far from it.
The Church would still be the
Church, and continue to live, if
there were no preachers.
That seemingly extravagant
statement is not made in dispar-
agreement of the ministry, but only
to arrest attention to the vital
truth that the Church is meant for
the worship of God, for the fellow
ship of believers in him, and for
edification in the Christian faith.
A Church may bo a good Church,
despite limitations in the pastor.
An unsatisfactory preacher is no
sufficient excuse for absenting one’s
self from Church.
Speaking in behalf of the minis
try, we ask men to go to Church,
not to hear a preacher, as an intel
lectual exercise, but to go for the
worship of God, for the confession
of sin and for the purpose ox align
ing themselves with the Church in
all her varied mission and ministry
to the world.
'The worshiper’s prayers are of
more importance than cne preach
ing.
What the worshiper thinks about
God is a more vital matter than
what the preacher says about Goa.
The attitude of tbe soul is a
graver concern than the altitude of
the sermon.”
With the disappearance of the ele
ment of worship lias disappeared also
the element of Christian fellowship in
the churches. When the people cease
to aim at common spiritual ends, be
lieve anything or nothing at will, keep
the commandments or violate them at
pleasure, and go to church to be en
tertained only, the basis of Christian
fellowship is utterly destroyed. By
what bond can they be held together in
such a case?
There are prevalent among us today
conditions very similar to those which
existed in England in Wesley’s time,
BISHOP W. A. CANDLES.
churches rally? Not around a common
taith; for that they did not have. They
did not have even common doubts,, much
less common belieis. They could not
gather on the basis of a common re
ligious experience; for they claimed no
experience of religion at ail. They
grouped themselves by mere social
classes. There were then as now
“fashionable churches,” and the masses
generally* forsook all the churches. As
soon as the Wesleyan revival had done
Its work, enristian fellowship began to
re-appear in England. Then one might
have seen Lady Huntington and Lord
Dartmouth uniting with coal miners and
peasants in the same religious serv
ice, for they believed alike, felt alike,
and lived by the same religiuos princi
ples.
We will see a return of Christian
fellowship 111 the churches of our own
country when the members of the
churches begin to know by experience
something of what an apostle called
“the common salvation.” The worship
of God will then take rank above a
Sunday ehter tain men t. and the fact
of religious life will eclipse and efface
all lines of social classes In the house
of God. We shall then hear nothing of
“fashionable churches” and “churches
for workingmen”; but of our churches
it will be said, “The rich and poor meet
together: the Lord is th emake rof them
all.”
