ESTABLISHED 1S66. YOU- XL. If' ion Necessary To Success. ** Editor: Instead of fur nishing a sermon outline to your pape- his week, I will give your re- lei, a few reflections upon a f ject very near akin to a Bible t< o. Most people desire to suc ct 1 in life. Many young people especially, who are inexperienced in many phases of life, while de siring to make a success of life, ofteu fail to embrace in their con duct many of the principles nsc tessary to success. It, is but a ruism to say there can be no sue lifo without decision of There must he a true lTgal, and a purpose to reach that ideal, in order to make life vjhat Join it should connected be. Luck with is the a mon term for tune* aud misfortunes of men, hut in almost every instance luck I tself is but the result of a choice ; md purpose >n pursuing that j cb ( ; ce. True decision of gift mind of : like vigor of body, is a God. It can not be created by anv single human effort, but must be cultivated. Everyone has the germ of this quality, .hich can be cultivated by favor able ci cumstances aud proper motives presented to the mind Favorable circumstances for th» devGoptm-ot of character are al ways at nand. and worthy self es teem h a world of opportunity befr should furnish sufficient m<- >v the best possible effort the most successful men ' „ive met with disappointment, and even failure at some time but having noble purpose, they clung to it w..- tenacious effort until success was Heved.

In this way M.aacrter will be- strengthened, ability increased aud victory ov er a vroilatiny disposition be won. Thefiistvictory will render sseonc id ~ v>ili oe made toward Whatterwhat Hy end. The vacillating man, his natural ties may be, is invariably pushed aside by the man of determined will.

Many men are uned ucated today because they never made up theirmind to be educa ted and then studied the books. Men fail in ff eir moral and gk " tew® gentmel. “WE APPLAUD THE BIGHT AOT> CONDEMN THE [WRONG.” ious life because they have m-ver decided to form religious charac ter, and never adopted those habits which were necessary to the development of such charac ter. One ot the most common ex cuses for failure t - attain to that which i* noble and worthy, is, “I can not make up my mind to do right and stick to it.” This is the poorest excuse that could be off ere t for any failure. No one should possess a mind which he cau not “make.” No young per son -hould fail of the opportuni ty for success in life for want of decision to attain it. If any, either old or young, feel that their lives, so far, have been com parative failures, let them take courage from the example of those who have achieved success by re trieving lost fortunes, or mending had character by firm resolution to do so. The prodigal made a bad start in life, and pursued an evil cause, led on by evil habit and bad associates, until he al most reached the point of des pair. Even there, “he came to himself” and said, “I will arise and go unto my father.” This decision once found, it was but a a matterof a short time and per sistent effort. He reached the fathers house, found a hearty wel come and a happy home. When we decide to be true, noble ami successful, a kind providence will open the way. Divine grace will furnish the resources, and life with us, instead of being a partial or total failure, will he successful and happy, and find its position in the eternal rewards promised to the faithful ones. Rev. H. C. Brewto*. Jesup, Ga. April 10, 1907. A >1 tmlcrt] Instrument. ’L’lin uijst gigantic harp ever con structed. as far as the record goes, was that made by Veritan, the provost of Burkli, near Basel, Switzerland, In . ,S7. That was a long while ago. but the fame of M. Veritan’s gigantic liarp was e :h that it is still occasionally mentioned by writers on the rare and the wonderful, just us the sea serpent, bloody rain, live mastodons, etc., are. ml musical iustru : < i;t was S20 feet in length, and. on that account, was constructed in an 1 of n ham factory y- : nr.-.t simple in construction, co n ! Bisting of fifteen wires strung tightly bctwesa tw0 »**«■ These wlre “ were of different sizes, the largest being one sixth of an Inch in diameter and the smallest one-twelfth at an inch. They were stretched north and south and in clined in such a moaner as to form an , angle of from twenty to thirty degrees ! with the horizon. This queer instrument 1 ™ DC intend -d as an exaggerated cc istructed for the ex p pess p llr j, oso 0 f foretelling changes in the weather, which were calculated by Professor Veritan according to the dif tones the Instrument made when ; the wind was blowing through it. Ah You PI cant?. In tUe nncient tiIUCS there ,ived tt v.-ise mau, of whom it was said that he could answer correctly an ? question put to him. There was on "’ !l0wever - ' vho thou 8 ht himself c i ever enoug i, to outwit the sage. This man took a poor, captive bird and Gasped it so closely in his hand that on U Pie head cud tail were visible. -Tell me,” said he to the renowned guesser of riddles, “is the bird which hold in my hand alive or dead?” If the answer were “ Dead ” thou « :ht this artful plotter, he would Just open his hand and let the bird fly. If the answer were “Alive,” he would with one little squeeze crush the poor bird to death. But the wise man proved himself equal to the occasion and replied, “It Is as you please." Each one holds within his or her grasp the fair bird of life. Which is it to be? A blessing or a bane? It Is “as 7011 pJease." JESUP, GA., APRID nth, 1907 . Mrs. W. J.

Ohl tie God's >vill and we must sub mit, yet we can look back upon her life as a true example ot Chris tianity. No matter how dark a time ever come she met it with cheerfulness. Even the lowliest of being she would lend a helping hand to raise them up. She lias often carried sunshine to the sick chamber and was always kind and devoted toward her husband and taught her seven little ones such teachings, as they njed at such tender youthful ago. She studied Gods word carefully and one could always find her bible near her. All her great sufferings wi re borne cheerfully and in her last illness her only appeal to re main here was that she hated to leave her husband and little ones who needed her so much but when she realized th.it she must leave them she kindly asked those around to be kind to those'whom she loved sc well.
