RKLIGIOUS DEPARTMENT,
Let Lack One Suffer for His Own
Mist at e.
“To err is human.” As there is no
hitman being who does not commit
sin, small or large, secret or public,
so no human being is exempted from
making mistakes. Mistakes grow out
of want of information as to facts - ,
our inability to see things in their
true light, and their consequences;
want of clear judgment; forgetfulness
and when passion is stronger than
reason. Now it is unpleasant to make
a mistake. It often produces ill feel
ing on the part of others and brings
harm and sorrow to the one who
makes it. One of the most painful
things about our mistakes, is we make
other people unhappy because of
them. Instead of having the mag
nanimity of great minds and say at
once, “It is my mistake ; I have blun
dered,” we try to involve others in
the trouble, and more frequently than
otherwise w - e succeed. A lady will
make some mistake and then her
w - hole household is put at unrest. She
is mad with herself, and then gets
mad with everybody around her. She
is silent, or snappish, and her sour
manner spreads a gloom over the fam
ily circle. Or she may make a mis
take in the conduct of some charity,
or entertainment, and then eyerybody
w - ho co-operated with her is thrown
into a perturbed and embarrassed
state of mind.
A man makes a mistake in business,
or in society, or in speech, and then
his family, his friends and his employ
ees, are placed under the disagreeable
necessity of having to bear the burden
with him. His frown casts a shadow
everywhere he turns his face. Every
body around him is made to feel that
he is in a bad humor. Now such con
duct is not the offspring either of
good sense nor religion. It is a down
right sin to make other people un
happy because you have perpetrated
a folly, because you h.*ve been defec
tive in judgment or knowledge. Listen
to us while we plead with you as a
brother: The next time you make a
mistake, acknowledge it at once.
This may humiliate your pride and
reduce the amount of your conceit,
but it will do your religion good and
save others from a disagreeable expe
rience. If your mistakes make you
mad. conceal the fires in your own
breast , and do not let the lurid glare
shine forth upon the path of others.
Let each one suffer alone for his own
mistake.
V
Getting Ready.
The best way to get ready for the
work of God is to begin at once. Some
birds lose much time in getting ready
to fly, while others drop from their
perch without any at
tempt to adjust their wings. They
trust to the atmosphere and their own
exertions. The swimmer never be
comes an expert by standing on the
shore and taking lessons in the art:
he grasps the secret by plunging in
and wrestling with the waves and cur
rents. There are Christians who are
so careful to make preparation to do
the work effectively, that they find
no time remaining in which to work.
In order to avoid this mistake, begin
this very day to work in the vineyard
of your Lord. No matter if you have
not quite the state of feeling, the
earnestness, the zeal, you would like ;
begin to do your duty, and you will
soon find a change of feeling and a
new glow of interest in the work of
God. Preparation comes in service;
we best learn the trade by engaging
in the work.—Selected.
Alwa> s Re Civil. ,
We little appreciate the effect of a
kind word upon those who are more
used to blows. It seems that one
evening a young lady abruptly turned
a street corner and ran against a boy,
who was small and ragged and freck
led. Stopping as soon as she could,
she turned to him and said: “I beg
your pardon. Indeed, I am very
sorry.”
The small, ragged and freckled boy
looked up in blank amazement for an
instant. Then taking off about three
fourths of a cap, all he had, he bowed
very low, smiled until his face became
lost in the smile, and answered:
“You can hey my parding an’ wel
come, Miss; and yer may run ag’in
me an' knock me clean down, an’ I
won’t say a word.”
After the young lady passed on he
turned to a comrade and said, half
apologetically : “I never had any one
ask my parding before, an’ it kind o’
took me off my feet.”—Selected.
G CORGI A BAPTIST CONVENTION.
Good Schedules and Accommoda*
tions Over the Southern Ry.
As has already been announced, the rate to
Wayc-ross for the occasion of the Georgia Bap
tist Convention, April 9th to 15th, will be a
fare and a third'on the certificate plan, via the
Southern Railway (formerly E. T. V. & G. Ry).
The schedules over this line via Jesup are most
excellent, and all delegates and others attend
ing the convention are advised to take the
Southern Railway. The new schedule effective
March 17th will give three trains daily to Way
cross via Jesup. viz: Leaving Atlanta 7:45 a.
m., 4:10 p. m., and 11:45 p. m.; arriving at Way
cross 5:50 p. m„ 4:30 a. m„ and 10:30 a. m. This
makes the Southern Railway the hest possible
way to get to Waycross.

ITEMS FROM ATLANTA,
Argus :
You will see from this note that I
have wandered off from home, but not
to stay, for I love good old East Jack
son too well —my greatest treasures
are there. I find good people here,
but not like my good Jackson friends.
The citizens here are making big
preparations for the exposition ; some
say they will throw open their doors
without price to accoU|Haqdato the
crowd; others are prepSjfhg to feed
the people, and I saw one man that
was going to plant 30 bushels of Eng
lish peas and other vegetables. It is
amusing to see what is being done to
accommodate the people that will
attend the little show. Hundreds of
carloads of material are arriving every
week, and all I can see for half a mile
is lumber and W6rkmeiLi.itl is a show
already. There is a movement on
foot to get each county to send an ex
hibit ; if so, I don’t wantßutts county
to be left. I know - she can produce
as good,field crops as any county, and
our people know how - to artistically
arrange her exhibit.
I met a gentlemen yesterday who
said he would visit Indian Springs in
a few days for the purpose of erecting
a boys’ school, if he could get the
ground. I told him he would have
no trouble, as Butts county had more
good land for such institutions than
Atlanta, and the climate can’t be ex
celled. E. J.
“Six pairs regular 25c fast black Ladies’ Hose
for 75c.” "
The Macon Telegraph furnishes us
the above bit of news in one of its ad
vertisements. We respectfully sug
! gest that it proceed to get some white
ladies hose also, o*r in other w - ords that
it procure some ladies’ fast black hose.
Office of J. F. GREER, County Judge, )
Green Cove Springs, Clay Cos., Fla. $
Gentlemen:—Twenty-tree years ago I was at
tacked with inflamatory rheumatism. I was
attended by the most eminent physicians in
the land. I visited the great Saratoga Springs,
N. Y., and the noted Hot Springs of Arkansas,
and many other watering places, and always
consulting with the local physician for direc
tions; finally came to Florida ten years ago.
About two years ago I had a severe attack of
rheumatism, was confined to my room for 12
weeks, and during the time I was induced to
try P. P. P., knowing that each ingredient was
good for impurities of the blood, after using
two small bottles I was relieved; at four differ
ent times since I have had slight attacks and I
have each time taken two small bottles of P. P.
P., and been relieved, and I consider it the best
medieine of its kind. Respectfully,
J. F. GREER.
RHEUMATISM
Is emphatically a blood disorder caused by
inability of the kidneys to throw off certain
poisons whieh accumulate in the tissues about
the joints and museles.
P. P. P., very simple, quickly and surely
cures this disease neutralizing impurities in
the blood. Experience and science both en
dorse P. P. P., as the only infallible blood pu
rifier known.
