deemer Kept his heart ever in contact with
the tide of youthful life flowiog about

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*,

midst of political degradation and direct
J iover'y, it seemed that all knowb dge of

which we see unmistakable gleanings in
this inspired idyl of Naomi, Ruth and
Boaz.

HOMESICK
In this season ot sorrow the heart ot
Niiomi naturally sighed for ibe scenes and

old fiiends and neighborhoods in our tmu

she heard that God bad “visiled Bis peo

Thanking li< r dnughters-in-law for Ih'-ir
kindness to the dead, she begs them to re

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

Brown reapers and troops of innocent
maidens binding sheaves could be seen

Mrs Catherine Green, widow of Gene

We mention for example and emulation
but one other, Frances Ridley Bavergal.
None who have lived since Knocb-ever

Uy was a Citizen ot Heaven, but in b*tdily
presence tented for a short s< ason among
men. No snow flake was ever so white and
pur*-, no pebbly stream ever sang its way
so confidently and joyfully to the sea as
did she to the bosom »t Goa.
1 enu'd never xccompiiau more goo' in
pleaching during a long life than if I
could today pursuade every young iaUy
present to purchase th- books of Miss
Havergal, and make them companions for
life. 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

everybody to taste ai.d see. Y steiday I

a-ked what He would have me do u xi,

She bad started out f< r a wa.k alone,
thinking and praying, and Ihe thought
c me to her to come straight to me, which
she seemed to think an unaccountably
bold step. 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.

ed the doctor, “Wbat is ibe ■ leinent ol

pled, and the inflammation increasing. “I
though so,” she replied, but if I am go

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. Tell

Thus her angelic spirit passed away.

WITH A CRASH
HON- J. 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.
