THE SUNNY SOUTH, ATLANTA, GA. SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER &9, 1890.
CHAT.
Th«re §e« ms to be some deep-heated error in
the midst of most homes and 1 ran see no way
to reach it.
Christianity is taught inn vay to do little
food. I heard a girl say last wee* that she at
tended Sabbath-school ten ye ai> and the same
rontine had been repeated until there was noth
ftng more to be gained. Then the readings at
home weren’t n nch better. She had never read
Esther ror Isaiah until hhe accidenty opened
her book there and became interested. This
reck'ees iush after position and society has
much to do with it.
The alaiming number of suicides this year
sets one to thinkii g~has the BiMe been taught
as it should? How esn one n member that the
suicide is cue with no chance for the soul and
yet venture across the line that divides time
and eternity?
Ere another week has jassed we shall cele
brate Thanksgiving day. Each home will re
call the past and all the good that has been
theirs. If they do not celebrate it, the mere fact
that it is a day set ajait ior that purpose will
prevent the* thougl t not rising—am 1 thankful?
Have 1 made pood use of the benefits bestowed?
And then the losses ar.d crosses will rise. Can
you cast your mind over all the sunshine and
Indian summers we have had? Nol 1 hen you
know the mercies have outnumbered the
crosses. If we sre not as well on our way
we were one year ago let us be thankful that
life has been spared ns to retrace cur misguided
footsteps.
The City of Content is not in sight: last year
it was. We took w hat was pointed out as
short cut by Folly, aLd the music and incense
mate us foiget to keep to the right, and so here
we are far from home and deserted by our
guide.

In this sunny clime the leaves are not yet off
the trees, and as I write I see the w anton breeze
rudely stirring tht m and sending & shower of
gold upon my desk and on the window* sill.
First the seed, and in time the harvest that
results from caie or nt gli ct. The first one to be
proud of if we did our best, be the yield ten or
an hundred fold. If the latter, may the Father
forgive us and help us to earnestly strive with
our next venture.

What becomes of our premising young men?
Every June tht y ere turned loose from colleges
all over the laud. They have diplomas and the

overturn all cur simple ways. But that’s t:>e

that’s the way for them. Then why don’t esch

HOW CLEVERTINA MANAGED.
BY MARION DURHAM.
(Concluded )
He came cn breathless and soon the square
envelope was In her own hand, tihe trembled
as though she bad suddenly been stricken with
palsy while she broke the seal. There was a
letter written in a woman’s beautiful hand and
above all there were ciisp greenbacks fresh as
the leaves of spring and to her just then far
more welcome. The twochildren fora moment
teemed dumb with astonishment.
‘ Where did they come from?” her brother
asked in tones broken for want of breath.
“I sent a rich lady at the North a poem and a
little sketch,” laid CUvertinn, ‘and sbe has
sent me this. It is all yours,” sbe cried. ‘-Take
It and go to school ”
She laughed and cried, too; her young brother,
forgetting where he was, acted as thougn the
church was a circus and he a youug clown. He
tumbled a somersault and yelled like an Indian
brandishing his tomahawk. Finally be sub-
aided, aim kissing his sister, told her he loved
her more than be did any thing on earth: which
ao filled the wild, impulsive heait of Cievertina
she vowed to herself she would tell as many
more storks for as many more bills.
Giving her brother the notes while she re'
tafned the letter, ihe twochildren starteo off in
full trot to lee which could be the first to tell
the news. Cievertina lingered behind and read
aud reread her letter, it was full of a uoble wo
man's sympathy, ar.d closed by offering to her
shelter in the rady s own house, where she
oould attend a private school with tne rich
lady’s own children. At this the girl laughed
to herself, saying:
“The Ethiopian cannot chaDge his skin and
■either can the Caucasian. 1 am uot clever
•aough to do that •
She was a girl of few associates: she lived
within hersell and read a gieat deal while not
devising how to turn the machinery of the
household as smoothly and as economically as
possible. That her brother might have every
advantage was the aim of her life. She livec
for that alone. All compunction of conscience
vanished as she water.ed his rapidly disappear
ing back, made veiy indistinct by the cloud of
dust be and his smaller sister were kicking up,
each endeavoring to win the race, so as to be
the fiis-t to tell the news.
tibe laughed softly to herself and half clapped
her hands while she thought how cleverly and
■uccessfuily she had deceived the rich Northern
lady. But still there was a feeling of ihame in
her glee. Still she thought the lady would
never miss the money and it would do her a
world of good. Many were the stories and poems,
Hard labor different papers and magazines
eagerly accepted from her without one oiler of
pay; and Clevtriiua resolved that if she could
not travel the straight and narrow way to litera
ture successfully she would leek < ut some by
path, as Chatienoii and Mm pherson bad done.
And thei aud there she not only resolved she
would keep the money, but also that she would
win more if she could in the shit e way. And so
for the time leii g Cievertina trampled udou her
conscience as all of us do sometimes, the tore
the letter into i rag men ts as small as sacrament
chips and toned tht m to tr e w ii d. The breath
less account given by the children to the moth
er, each trying to speak loudt r ti an the otln r,
at first made tl.eir story rather<i nfusing, but
at last, howc ver, she c*« mj-rt h» nded a nd win n
Cievertina oienod the door of her home the
arms of the entuc housed old were held out to
receiveh« r, just as the mouths of > nest of young
birds sre opened wine ro tic very bottom of
their yeliow* threats when the oid mother bird
is heard to approach.*
“Give ne tie letWand let me read it.” said
the mothei. “the must be an unuei and we
Will all b ess her ”
"Where is it? Wf ere is it’ I must have lost
It!” cried Cievertina^ agl ast and excited while
feeling in impossib c* places for j»» cketsi and
ending by putting Iotb bends up to 1 er
head in a helpless way as though she were
endeavoring to flunk.
“near me! How 1 would love to have read it,”
said her mother. T l eu the two children eager
ly offered to go sesreb for the missingfotier and
Cievertina thanked them so warmly and anx
iously they rust ed out of the door and their
bacis disappear* d a* rapidly up the road In
search of it as they had » ut a few moments be
fore disrupt areu dowu the road each striving
to be the first to tell the mot» t r the wonderful
news. But that letter never again saw the light
of day, and its lots was long d< plored in tee
household.
“I never knew you to be so careless, my
child,” her mother often said. And then see
ing Clevertfnn’s r orta/Iy WGundeo look she
would generally odd:
“1 hat is your ♦ x< use. J never knew yon to be
eo careiiis, my f*vir, swet oUld Bin the
gift from that dear ladv. rr ay the Lord bless her,
was c uch a mrpiisi 1 cannot wondtr that you
lost the letter.”
gome time afterward snrtl*cr Teller c*mo; it
W88 from an euitor of u very widely circulated
piper. A year before Cievertina had sent him
several short stories and a poem or two with
the timidest H tie note as chaperone. It wss
like a shy little mother with big grown-up
daughters to manage. The note no doubt ban
injured the sale of her ar idea. But now after
waiting a year a letter firm the great editor
lay in her hand. He complimented her on her
peculiar style, called it strong and fresn,and
said if she persevered in time she would be a
celebrated woman. In a postscript he added
while listening to her story being read be forgot
it was fiction, it was told so much like the truth.
Then be asked her to become a regular contrib
utor. stating his terms which seemed enormous
to Cievertina. And she with a bound that
would make the wildest goat that ever grazed on
the Highlands of Scotland ashamed of himself,
went tearing to her mother. After reading the
letter, the good irotinr, fearing her chill wis
getting too smart and that an early death might
claim her, spent the resi of the d-*y in prayer
and reading her Bible. Now began a great reac
tion with this voting heroine, She became
horoughly ashamed of her dec^ptto t and seek
ingout her broth* r she foot him .. ide; and
making him declare the longest day he ever
lived he would never tell, she n-ade a fuli con
fession. He was jubilant. And declared it was
the cleverest thing he bud ever heard. * So she
loves blackbirds more than she does white
swans!’* he said. ** v\ on’t she reach up her back
like a cat when she finds you cut? 1 thought it
was mis lily curious yon lost that letter, sis!”
Clevertinu did not think he had thought so at
all, but she never said anything She did not
think he deserved the masculine form her name
would make- Clevertinus While he was not
quite so clever as she, his olicr sister, he was
assuredly the smartest boy in the world. She
lmd often envied him his sex. saying frequently
to her mother. ‘If I were your Clevertinus in
stead of your Cleveitina, I would be president
but men are so stupid, and women cam.ot enter
into politics.”
“Help me what to say,” sbe asked her brother
*'for 1 am going to make her a lull confession.
She is a noble woman and I am ashamed of my
self.” So together ihey sat down and began
each to write a letter. When the boy had writ
ten a few lines he began to read the following
words aloud to his sifter:
"My Dear Madam: I know you will be terribly
ashamed when I ted you 1 am not the black
crow you think I am, and I am no nigger either,
but I am ss fair and freckled faced a white girl
as |tbe Caucasian race ever had. And mv nose
is as high up as any baby’s ” He finished with
a laugh, knowing that her high up nose was his
sistei’8 sensitive feature. Then his ideas not
coming too rapidly, he threw down bis paper to
the mercy of the mind and departed leaving
his sister to finish hers alone. Clevertina’s let
ter was as follows*
My Dear Madam:|
* I do not know how to commence,I have so
much to be ashamed of. 1 made you believe
that I am black, while I am white. I took ad
vantage of your preference for the negro race to
your own. Come aown here and live wiih us
for a while, and you will scon chat ge your
mind. It is filmy ideas you love, and not real
facts. ‘That is your excuse,’ as my mother
would say You believe wbat wicked people
tell you, rather than what the good ones say.
You allow pity to run before reason. But this
is a failure that leans to virtue’s side.
"If the North and South could only exchange
people for a while, we would soon know each
other better. And we might never want to ex
change our countries again. Tennyson is right
wheu he says the North is true, but false when
he says the South is fickle. I love him except
for that.
“1 love the negro race. Believe me when I
say It: but just as the race should be iovea—as
an inferior people. I have my excuse for doing
what I did: I was poor, aud desired to educate
my brother. Other means have since been
opened to me, aud I re-urn you your money,
thanking you for the gift.. If 1 nave done wrong,
tell me. I never refused to be reasoned with.
I am high-tempered and impulsive, but 1 am
not unreasonable. If you knew me you would
forgive me on the spot f«*r what 1 nave done.
No ioubt you would laugh and kiss me too.
for I am rather pretty thin otherwise And if
you and I never meet here ou earth, we may yet
laugh together over this in heaven. 1 s gued a
black girl’s name to my letter, so if you desire
to see me wheu you go to heaven ask the an
gels for one, who while ol earth, was called
‘Cievertina.’ Aud it 1 I** -Aai. tkoio, »w»i

APPLES OF GOLD.
Dear Mother Hubbard: ‘‘a word of kind
ness is seldom spoaen in vain, w hile witty say
ings are as easily lost as pearls slipping liom a
string.” 1 came acioss U ese words not long
sii.ee while looking over a magazine, and they
set me to thinking of a fiiend 1 used to love hut
who had become esiranged from me through a
cruel misunderstanding.
I am not one to give up old friends without
regret or grief, audaiihcugh this one had done
me great injustice and words of bitter anger
and reproach had passed between us, 1 felt re
morseful when 1 had time for sober thought. I
was uo longer angry, hut only sorry—sorry to
the bottjiu of my heart. It seemed hard to be
so misjudged, but 1 subdued tue se.tisn spirit
mat rose up within me, aud sent my friend a
letter, full of love and forgiveness, and confessed
inyseil partly to blame for the estrangement.
Long aud patiently 1 waited, but uo answer
came, is it stiauge then inal with this experi
ence still fresh in my heart, 1 read the sentence
at the beginning ol mis letter ana turned away
with a utile smile? "A pretty sentiment, but
like many other beautiful thiugs it is false ” I
said, as 1 thought o i the friend 1 had lost. Strange,
indeed, it seemed to me a lew days later to re
cti v» a letter from my friend explaining the
long silence and blessing me a thousand times 1
for the kind words contained in my letter. **i
did you cruel wrong,” the writer said, “but
now 1 know you are the best friend 1 have on
earth.” How bright seemed me world, and how
light my heart, alter reading this letter! ‘A
kind word is never entirely lost,” I repeated
softly. No bitter smile accompanied the words
this time, lor the biessiug ol ireace had fallen
upon my heart.
Himina, i claim you as a kindred spirit for
your thoughts are similar to my own, men you
love poetry aud that makes me love you. Vet
alas! how much dross is mixed with the gold of
poetry now-a days!
At a meeting of the Literati, I believe it was
in New York, some one askea ior a definition of
poetry and received this reply. ‘ Poetry is
thought, fused with passion, aud rhythmically
expressed.” Taking mis answer for a standard,
how littie of our so-calied poeiry would bear
analysis?
It is no wonder that Cyclo thought the
editor would go crazy in less than six
mouths if he read all the poetry that came to
his office. But we will uot uisciaim the merits
of good poetry simpiy because there are counter
feits. Bather let us remember with Oliver
Kendall Hoimes:__
Time wrecks the proudest piles we raise,
The towels, the comes, the temples fall;
s The fortress trembles and decays,
One breath of song outlasts them all.
We welcome you, Happy Mother. We are
neither too gay nor gidey to read your cheerful,
helpful letters V hat a blessing in any house
hold is such a spirit as yours!

ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.
The navy department has made arrange
ments for the purchase of a year’s supply
mt nickel for armor plate experiments.
The noted horse Comanche, the sole sur
vivor of the Custer massacre, is now 28
years old, and it is thought extremely
doubtful if the old animal can live much
longer.
The light batteries at Fort Riley, Kan.,
are having considerable target practice
with thei r ne w rifled guns, and their scores
are much higher than when the old pattern
guns were used.
Machine guns, having the electrical at
tachment for firing, require one less man
to handle them, while the gunner can train
and operate the gnn at will by simply
touching an electric button.
The successful trials at St. Chamoud of
guns mounted in armored cupolas have
been followed by otherexperimentsequally
successful near Magdeburg, but the guns
in the latter case are without recoil.
There has been so much illegal wood
•hopi bitt on the military reservationi at
Fort LSwis, Colo., that a detail of troops
was sent out to arrest the offenders. Their
camp aud arms were found, but the men
had fied.
Experiments are about being tried in
England in the use of the lance by cavalry
regiments. It is proposed that the front
rank of each troop shall carry lance and
carbine, only the rear rank bearing sword
and carbine as heretofore.
The three battalion organization for all
arms of the service, each battalion to con
sist of not more than four subordinate or
ganizations, has been adopted by military
experts everywhere as much the best suited
to modern military conditions.
In one hour’s full power trial the air
pressure in the Cushing’s fire room warn
equal to about four inches of water, the

of coal.
The latest style of horseshoe for cavalry
horses ou the continent is made from lay
ers of paper glued together and subjected
to hydraulic pressure. This is attached
securely to the hoof by gutta percha, and,
being very elastic, permits the expansion
of the hoof.
In the sham fight at Portsmouth, Eng
land, in honor of the Emperor William, an
advancing column was so affected by tho

to raise a cloud of impenetrable obscurity
under which they could advance, that the

HOW VARIOUS NATIONS SLEEP.
In the tropics men sleep in hammocks
or upon mats of grass.
The Japanese lie upon matting, with a
stiff, uncomfortable wooden neck rest.
The ancient Greeks and Romans had
their beds supported on frames, but not flat
likeonrs.
The Chinese use low bedsteads, often
elaborately carved, and supporting only
mats or coverlids.
The Egyptians had a conch of a peculiar
shape, more like an old fashioned easy
chair with hollow back and seat.
The East Indian unrolls his light, porta
ble charpoy or mattress, which in the morn-
tng is again rolled together and carried
away by him.

WHERE CIIlilST WAS A EOT.
All Christ’s boyhood was spent in this
village and its surroundings. There is the
very well called “The Fountain of the Vir
gin,” to which by bis mother’s side he
trotted along holding her hand. No doubt
about it; it is the only well in the village,
and it has been the only well for three
thousand years. This morning we visit it,
and the mothers have their children with
them now as then. The work of drawing
water in all ages in those countries has
been women’s work. Scores of them are
waiting for their turn at it, three great
and everlasting springs rolling ont into
that well their barrels, their hogsheads
ef water in floods gloriously abundant.
The well is surrouuded by olive groves and
wide spaces in which people talk and chil
dren, wearing charms on their beads as
protection against the “evil eye,” are play
ing, and women with their strings of coin
on either .-i<le of their face, and in skirts of
blue and scarlet and white and green
move on with water jars on their heads.
Mary, I suppose, almost always took Jesus
the boy w-itli her, for she had no one she
could leave him with, being in humble cir
cumstances aud having no attendants. I
do not believe there was one of the sur
rounding fifteen hills that the boy Christ
did not range from bottom to top, or one
cavern in their sides he did not explore,
or one species of bird flying across the
tops that he cou[d not call by name, or one
of all the species of fauna browsing on
those steeps that he had not recognized.
You see it all through his sermons. If a
man becomes a public speaker, in his ora
tions or discourses you discover his early
whereabouts. What a boy sees between
7 and K always sticks to him. When
the apostle i’ster preaches you see
the fishing nets with which he hail from
his earliest clays been familiar. And when
Amos delivers his prophecy you hear iu it
the bleating of the herds which ho had in
boyhood ;ittended. And in our Lord’s ser
mons ami conversations you see all the
phases of village life and the mountain
ous life surrounding it. They raised their
own chickens in Nazareth, and in after
time he cries: “O Jerusalem! Jerusalem!
how often would I have gathered thee as

very low before to* boys, and the teacher
■M, “Why do yen do that?” “Oh,” said
tte visitor, "I do not know what mighty
man may yet he developed among them.”
At that instant the eyes of one of the boys
flashed fiw Who was it! Martin Luther.
A lad on bis way to school passed a door
step on which sat a lame and inv did child.
The passing boy said to him, “Why don’t
yon go to school!” “Oh, I am lame and I
can’t walk to school." “Get on my back,”
■aid the well boy, “and I will carry yon to
■ehool.” And so be did that d;iy and for
many days until the invalid was fairly
started on the road to an education. Who
was the .veil boy that did that kindness?
I don’t know. Who was the invalid he
carried? It was Robert Ilall, tho rapt

him so near as almost to flurry his hair the

and the osprey aud the crane and the ra-

it there are a great many camels. I see j
them now r iu memory making their slow
way up the zigzag road from the plain
of Ksdraelon to Nazareth. Familiar was
Christ with tlieirappearance, also with that
small insect-, t he gnat,which he had seen his
mother strain out from a cup of water or
pail of mill;, and no wonder he brings af
terward t bo large quadruped ami the small
insect into his sermon and, while seeing
the Pharisees careful about small sins and
reckless about large ones, cries ou*: “Woe

THE OLD MILL SHOP.
On this December morning in Palestine
•n our way out from Nazareth ve saw just
■nch a carpenter’s shop as Jesn workedin,
■npporting his widowed mother, after he
was old enough to do so. I loc bed in, and
there were hammer and saw an 1 plane and
anger and vise aud measuri > rule and
chisel anil drill and adze and wrench and
bit and ail the tools of carpen ry. Think
of it! He who smoothed the s rfaceofthe
earth shoving a plane; he w io cleft the

ef the earth turning an anger; he who
wields the thunderbolt striking with a

fte clergyman, “yon will not belive any
thing yon cannot explain. Piease to ex
plain to me why some cows have horns
and others have no horns. “No,” said the
ikeptic, "1 did not mean exactly that. I
mean that I will not believe anything I
Rave not seen.” “Indeed,” said the cler-
tyman, "you will not believe anything
you have uot. seen. Have you a backbone?”
“Yes,” s:. i-1 the skeptic, “how do yon
Know?” said the clergyman. “Have yon
■ver sect it?” This mystery of Godhead
humanity interjoined I cannot
aud I cannot explain, bnt I believe
Ik I am glad there are so many things we
•■nnot understand, for that leaves some
thing for heaven. If we knew everything
here heaven wonld be a great indolence.
What foolish people those who are in per
petual fret because they cannot understand
all that God says and does! A child in the
first juvenile primer might as well burst
Into tears because it cannot nnderstand
eonic sections. In this world we are only
in the ABC class, and we cannot now un
derstand the libraries of eternity which
pat to utmost test faculties aruhangelic. I
would be ashamed of heaven if we do not
know more there, with all our faculties in
tensified a million fold and at the centerof
toe universe, than we do here with our
dim faculties and clinging to the outside
rim of the universe.
CANA IN GALILEE.
In about two hours we pass through
Cana, the village of Palestine where the
mother of Christ and our Lord attended
toe wedding of a poor relative, having
come over from Nazareth for that purpose.
The mother of Christ—for women are first
to notice such things—found that the pro
visions had fallen short and she told
Christ, and he to relieve the embarrass
ment of the housekeeper, who had invited
more guests than the pantry warranted,
became the butler of the occasion, and ont
of a cluster of a few sympathetic.words
squeezed a (leverage of a hundred and
twenty-six gallons of wine in which was
not one drop of intoxicant, or it wonld
have left that party as maudlin and drunk
as the great centennial banquet in New
York, two years ago, left senators, and
governors, and generals, and merchant
princes, the difference between the wine
at the wedding in Cana and the wine at
the banquet in New York being, that the
Lord made the one and the devil made the
other. We got off our horses and examined
some of these water jars at Cana said to lie
the very one3 that held the plain water
that Christ turned into the purple bloom
of an especial vintage. I measured them
and found them eighteen inches from edge
to edge aud nineteen inches deep, and de
clined to accept their identity. But we
realized the immensity of a supply of a
hundred uu.l twenty-six gallons of wine.
What was that for? Probably one gallon
would have been enough, lor it was only
an additional installment of what hail al
ready been provided, and it is probable
that‘he housekeepercould not have guessed
more than one gallon out of the way. But
a hundred and twenty-six gallons! What
will they do with the surplus? Ah, it was
just like our Isird! Those young people
were about to start in housekeeping aud
their means were limited, aad that big
supply, whether kept in their pantry or
sold, will be a mighty help.
You see there was uo strychnine or log
wood or nux vomica in that beverage, and,
as the Lord made it, it would keep. He
makes mountains and seas that keep thou
sands of years, and certainly he could
make a beverage that would keep four or
five years. Among the arts and inventions
of the fut ure I hope there may be tome one
that can press the juices from the grape
and so mingle them and without one drop
of damning alcoholism that it will keep
for years. Aud the more of it you take
the clearer will bo tho brain and the
healthier the stomach. And here is a re
markable fact in my recent journey—I
traveled through Italy and Greece and
Egypt and Palestine and Syria and Tur
key, and how many intoxicated people do
you think 1 saw in all those five great
realms? Not one. We must in our Chris
tianized lands have got hold of some kind
of beverage that Christ did not make.
GI.AD IIE WAS THEBE.
Ob, I am glad that Jesus was present at
that wedding, and last December, stand
ing at Cana, that wedding came backl
Night had fallen ou the village and its
■urroundiugs. The bridegroom had put
on Ills head a bright turban and a gar
land of flowers, and his garments had been
made fragrant with frankincense and cam
phor, an odor which the oriental especially
likes. Accompanied by groomsmen, and
preceded by a baud of musicians with
flutes und drums and horns, and by torches
in full bia/.e, be starts for the bride’s home.
This river of lire is met by another river of
fire, the torches of the bride and brides
maids, flambeau answering flambeau. The
bride is in "'bite robe and her veil uot only
covers her fact) but envelops her body.
Her trousseau is as elaYorate^tis the re
attendants are decked gdai uiV. the orna
ments they own or cau borrow; but their
own personal charms make tame the jew
els, for those oriental women eclipse in
attractiveness all others except those of
our own land. The damson rose is
in their cheek, and the diamond iu
'the luster of their eyes, and the black
ness of the night in their loug locks, aud
in their step is tiie gracefulness of the morn
ing. At tne mst sight or the torenes ot the
bridegroom and his attendants coming
ever th* hill the cry rings through the
home of the bride; “They are in sight! Get
ready! Behold the bridegroom cometh! Go
ye out to meet him.” As the two proces
sions approach each other the timbrels
■trike and the songs commingl-% and then
the two processions become one and march
toward tbe bridegroom’s house, aud meet
• third procession which is made up of tiie
friends of both, bride and bridegroom.
Then all euter the horise and the dance
begins aud the door is shut. And all this
Christ uses to illustrate the joy with which
the ransomed of eart h shall meet him when
he comes garlanded with clouds and robed
in the morning and trumpeted by the
thunders of the last day. Look! There
he comes dowu off the hiils of heaven, the
bridegroom! And let us start out to hail
him, for I hear tho voices of the judgment
day sounding: "Behold, the bridegroom
cometh! Go ye out to meet him I” And the
disappointment of those who have declined
the invitation to the gospel wedding is pre
sented under tho figure of a door heavily
closed. You hear it slam. Too late. The
door is shut!
AND NOW FOR LAKE GALILEE.
But we must hasten on, for 1 do not
mean to close my eyes to-night till I see
from a mountain top Lake Galilee, on
whose banks next Sabbath we will wor
ship, and on whose waters the following
morning we will take a sail. On and np
we go in the severest climb of all Pales
tine, tbe ascent of the Mount of Beatitudes,
on the top of which Christ preached that
famous sermon on the blesseds—blessed
this and blessed that. Up to tbeir knees
the horses plunge in molehills and a sur
face that gives way at the first touch of the
hoof, and again and again the tired beasts
bait, as much as to say to tbe riders, “It is
nnjust for you to make us climb these
■teeps.” On aud up over mountain sides,
wherein the later season hyacinths and
daisies and phloxes and unemones kindle
tbeir beauty. On and up until ou the rocks
of black basalt we dismount, and climbing
to the highest peak look out on an en
chantment of scenery that seems to be the
beatitudes themselves arched into skies
and rounded into valleys and silvered into
waves. The view is like that of Tennessee
and North Carolina from the top of Look
out mountain, or like that of Vermont and
New Hampshire from the top of Mount
Washington. Hail hills of Galilee! Hail
Lake Gcnnesaret, only four miles away!
Yonder, clear up and most conspicuous, is
Safed, tho very city to which ("iirist point
ed for illustration in the sermon preached,
here saying, “A city set on a hill cannot be
hid.” There are rocks around me on this
Mount of Beatitudes enough to build the
highest pulpit the world ever saw. Ay,
it is the highest pulpit. It overlooks all
time and all eternity.
The valley of Hattin between hero and
Lake Galilee is an amphitheat re, ns though
the natural contour'of the earth had in
vited all nations to come and sit down and
hear Christ preach a sermon in which there
were more startling novelties than were
ever announced in all the sermons that
were ever preached. To those who heard
him on this very spot his word must have
seemed the contradiction of everything
that they had ever heard or read or experi
enced. The world’s theory had been:
Blessed are the arrogant; blessed are the
■upercilious; blessed are the tearless; bless
ed are they that have everything tiieir own
way; blessed are the war eagles; blessed
the sapphire Mediterranean on the °th«v
and across Europe in one wav, and acroos.
Asia in the other way, and around tha
earth both ways, till the globe shall yet bar-
girlded with the nine beatitudes: Blessed-
are tbe poor; blessed are the mournful;
blessed are the meek; blessed are the hun
gry; blessed arc tfc; merciful; blessed are
the pure; blessed are the peacemakers;
blessed lire the persecuted; blessed are the
falsely reviled.
Do you see how the Holy Land and the
Holy Book fit each other? God with his
left hand built Palestine and with his right
wrote the Scriptures, the two hands of the
same "being. And in projiortion as Pales
tine is brought under close inspection, the
Bible will lie found more glorious nud more
true. Mightiest book of the past! Mighti
est book of the future! Monarch of all lib-
erature!
The proudest works of genius shall decay.
And reason's brightest luster fade away;
The sophist's art, the islet's boldest Sight,
Shall sink in darkness and conclude) i i night;
But faith triumphant over time shall stand.
Shall grasp the sacred volume in her hand;
Back to its source the heavenly gift convey;
Then in the l’.ood of glory melt away.
Maurice Barrymore’s recent debut as a.
star was not, if the newspaper critics are
to be relied upon, wholly a success. “Reck
less Temple,” the play which was written
for him by Augustus Thomas, is said not
to give the famous actor a particularly-
good opportunity to distinguish himself.
Brimful
of confidence in it—the manu
facturers of Dr. Sage’s Ca
tarrh Remedy. It’s a faith
that means business, too—it’s
backed up by money. This
is what they offer: $500 re
ward for a case of Catarrh
which they cannot cure. They
mean it. They’re willing to
take the risk—they know their
medicine. By its mild, sooth
ing, cleansing and healing-
properties, it produces per
fect and permanent cures of
the worst cases of chronic Ca
tarrh in the Head. It’s doing
it every day, where everything
else has failed. No matter
how bad your case, or of how*
long standing, you can be
cured. You’re sure of that—
or of $500. You can’t have
both, but you’ll have one or
1 the other.
