KENDALL’S SERMON Preached Last Sunday to the Young Ladles of the Lucy Cobb Insti tute and Home School—A Beautiful Address- Tile text was liken from the book of It ith, 21 chapter and 19th verse “Where nasi thou gleaned lodaj?” Toe preacher •lid: “1 esteem it » high privilege, young ladies, by the kindness of your faculties and your own ready response, to address a special sermon to you at tbia hour. Our R". deemer Kept his heart ever in contact with the tide of youthful life flowiog about liirj, declaring His love for it, iusistinq upon its privileges as well as earnest re sponsibilities. One differentiating feature between the Christian religion ana false religions is the premium which the gos pel of Christ sets upon youth. The geutle pastoral called the book of Ruth, from which the subject we brine before you is taken, was written in the most abject and pathetic period in Israel’s history. Its simplicity, purity and beauty beam upon us from the surrounding darkness a strangely poguHnt and refresh iug light. Natural calamities bad folio*, ed hard Upon natural sins, until in tb* midst of political degradation and direct J iover'y, it seemed that all knowb dge of feliovah was forgotton. There was, how ever, an undeicurrent of true faith, 01 which we see unmistakable gleanings in this inspired idyl of Naomi, Ruth and Boaz. Tnjt HISTORY. The valleys of Bethlehem and Judah ha 1 been laid waste by enemies, or else failure of rains and ensuing famine bad forc'd tie suffering people to wander wherever they couio for br<ad. Elime lech, meaning, “My God is King,’’ with his wife, Nai mi, "The Loveable,’ 1 and ♦heir two sons, Mablon, “The Sickly," and Oniliou, ‘The Pi dug One,” sought the well watered plains of Moah where the language was the same, but religion different. The two sons sons ere long wedded Moabilisb women but instead of sunny and joyous decora tions, the bridal chambers in a little while were festooned sritu the insignia of deep est mourning. Both women were wid owed, and Naomi's husband also dying, the three were leit desolate and comfort less. HOMESICK In this season ot sorrow the heart ot Niiomi naturally sighed for ibe scenes and luces of her old borne. How we turn to old fiiends and neighborhoods in our tmu ble. But besides this, the narrative says, she heard that God bad “visiled Bis peo ple in the giving them bread.” Thanking li< r dnughters-in-law for Ih'-ir kindness to the dead, she begs them to re main in their own own land, while she re< turns to Bethlehem, the laud of her fath era and home of her youth. Orpab, “the Fawn,” kiss* a ber tenderly, and returns to her k ndred. Ruth, ‘‘the Friend,’ clings to Naumi most lovingly, with heroic determination. ‘Eitr«at me not to leavt thee,” she said, “or to r> turn from follow ine after thee, lor biiber thou goest will go, a >d where thou lodgest I will lodge, thy people shall be my people and thy God my God; where thou dies! I will dir, and there will I be buried.” No al ternative was left but that they should Journey together. BOAZ CUTTING BARLEY. Then as now Tihe little town so famous as the home of David and birth-place of Christ had hut one street running along the enst of the ridge. 2,500 feel above the level of the s<a. Ttrmced gardens and olive groves clung 10 the sides of the crest, while in every nook and cranny the smiling vintage ripened in the sun. The valleys were golden with rip* barley, though the Wheat at this time WnS not ready lor the harvest. Brown reapers and troops of innocent maidens binding sheaves could be seen every hand. The wealthy Boaz, a kins man of Naomi was garnering his broad acres of barley a so.

Tne history slates that ber toilette via sb elaborate as she could make it, that she was arrayed in her “beat raiment.” A wo 1 Id of meaning is conveyed here, be tween the lines.

From every honorable and virtuous avocation open to heroic endeavor, when ever the G ul-ordaincd strangle is w ging for the head of independence, and Heaven inspired toil must wring blessings of suf ficieiicy from a world in the grip of sins cause, a soft, patient voice, elastic with the melody of hope answers, “here am I “ From dizziest heights of siar-p akedsum- mi's of science, art, literature, invention, temperance and C iristian evangelism, the Lord Jesus in His words to U iry at Beth, leheu, reiterates their unassuming devo tion and triumph. “filie hath done what she could ” Recently the highest honors in mathematics at Cambridge, Edinburgh and London were won by women. .Hiss White is said to have solved a problem at the Michigan University given the past fifteen years to over 1,500 young men without solution.

It is one of the maiu sourc. s of revenue to this Gibralier empire, and a source of joy as it is of beauty tu dress to the world. Th- cashmere shawl of India owes its existence to Mabura, also woman, and the millions poured into India's treasu>y is through a woman’s hand. Mrs Catherine Green, widow of Gene ral Green, gave the mammoth invention ot the cotton gin to America. Tne adopt ed daughter of G>oigia, with Mr. W* ii- uey hoarding in her hous •, she urged him forward as her afcnt in bringing out this invention. To the discredit of those times be it said, to have taken the patent n ber own nnni: might have marred her high social standing. “S ty not tuou that the former days were better than these, for thou dost not enquire wisely concern ing this.” The Burden b<>rsc-sboe machine, saving $30 OCO 000 annually to ti e people of the people of the United Slates, is the inven tion of a woman. Last among scores which might be mentioned, :s the unique and faiy-ike baby carriage, a perpetual benediction to miltons of weak ai d tired mothers, as well a- millions of tend'r little ones. If men knew the wilkiigs, tossings and vain lullabies they are treed from by this palace car giving fresh air and amusement to babies, they would stand with beads uncovered before wo inan’a iuventive genius.

Some of the grandest Christian char acters uow living have been moulded by tbe spirit breathed from her aim -at in spired volumes. Oh, if you never make a sacrifice to own any other books, let im plead lor Jesus’ rake aud y<-ur souls sake, that you begin now to take of tbe cryst 1 chalices ot her angelic words. Let me quote from her joun al, ‘I do so f< el that every hour is distinctly guided by Him. I have taken Hun at His word in everything at my word iu everything. Oh, I can Bay that Jesus is to me a living, bright reality, and that he really and t»u'y is more dear, more intimately nigh than even the sweet est earthly tie,” No friendship could be wbat I find Him to be. Ouly I do so want everybody to taste ai.d see.

Well, God gave me exactlv the right mesragu ior her, just as with Miss M ia t week, the two cases slariina from a v* ry diff rent level, but the result tbe same, a real turning point.” These words give a glimpse of ber thoughts and woik Oh, to read her woik* aud catch her spirit brings us into a new world, makes us pu n I of our race, ai d invaria bly intr* duces us to tbe companionship of our Saviour. The last hour c-tnie with ber, She ask ed the doctor, “Wbat is ibe ■ leinent ol dangei?” “You are seriously ill,” he r> - pled, and the inflammation increasing. “I though so,” she replied, but if I am go ing it is too good to be tiue. “So beauti ful to go,” she constantly repealed. “I think Jesus wilL be glad.” So splendid to be s<> near tbe gates *>t heaves.’’ “I want all to come to me in heaven. 0‘, don’t, don’t disappoint me.

J. GRESHAM THE ELECTRIC CAR PLUNGES INTO A WAGON. A NEGRO BOY INJURED. The Accident Occurred on MPledge Avenue Last Night—The Alarm was Sounded but Not Heeded. ANSWERS THE SUMMONS OF THE MASTER. A DISTINGUISHED GEORGIAN About eight o’clock last night a loud crash startled tbe people living in tbe vicinity of the corner of Milledge ave nue and Broad street. They rushed out of their houses to sae wbat was the cause of the noise, and found that one of the electric care had ran into a delivery wagon at the inter section of the two streets. It seems that the delivery wagon of Galloway, Lambert & Co. was being driven along Broad street and was fixing to cross Milledge ave nue. At the same time the electric ear in charge of Mr. Howell C. bb, Jr , was coming down Milledge avenue at a very high rate of speed. The alarm bell was rung loudly two or three times in order to keep tbe driver of tbe delivery wagon from attempting to cross before tbe car. However, the negro who was driving the wagon thought he would make the attempt, and accordingly whipped up his mule and started across. When about midway the street the electric ear smashed the wagon with terrific force, throwing it ov-r to one side of the street upon the mule and dashing the driver to ihe ground. There was a little negro boy in the rear of tbe wagon, aud just in that por tion struck by tbe car. He was thrown out of the wagon and burled about fifteen feet aeioss tbe street against the fence around Mrs Green’s lot. The little negro was seriously hurt, and was taken upon the car and brought down town where medical aid was afforded him. His injuries . while quite painful are not of a fatal nature. The wagon was turned over and the mule extricated without iujury. It seems that, while the car was run ning at a bish rate of speed, nevertheless the alarm was sounded in plenty of time for tbe negro to bave stopped, and averted the accident, and that the accident resulted thtough the negro’s negligence in atiemp:ing to cro.-s before the car when it was so near upon him.
