It is bard for a young mother, who
has not yet overcome the wayward
tendencies of her own youthful nature,
to realize the influence she exerts over
her little ones. She is constantly sur
rounded by critical imitators, who
copy her morals and manners. As the
mother is, so are her sons and daugh«
ten. If a family of children aie bless
ed with an intelligent mother, who is
dainty and refined in her manners and
does not consider it necessary to be
one woman in the dtawing-room and
an entirely different person in her
everyday life, but who is a true
mother, end always a charming, lender
woman, you will invariably see habits
of speech and perfect manners repeat
ed in her children. Great, rough men
and noisy, busy boys will always tone
down their voices and step quietly, and
try to be more mannerly when she
elope to give them a kind word and a
pleasant smile; for a true woman will
never tail to say and do all the kind,
pleasant things tbai will in any way
help to lift up and cheer those whose
lives are shaded with care and toil
The mother of today rules the world
of tomorrow.

WOMAN’S FOREIGN
MISSIONARY SOCIETY.
BY THX BECBtCTARY OF THE GRIFFIN
DISTRICT
The Intelligent, progressive, up to
date Christian is a sincere believer in
foreign missions. The man that says
he is opposed to “furrin” missions be
trays both ignorance »ud prejudice.
The time is rapidly approaching when
a person ol ordinary intelligence and
virtue would no more publicly oppose
foreign missions than he would pub
licly drink whiskey from a bottle
It has been flippantly asked, ' Why
spend money to convert heithens in
foreign lands, when we have so many
unconverted heathens right at .our
doorsT" Does such an interrogator
include himself amongst hotpqmade
heathens? If so, he must be,
Ephtaim ol old, “joined to his idols” in
such away I hat, as an individual, he
will have to be “left alone ” He would
uo\ however, insult his fellow coun
trymen them heathens.
If persons who are b>rn in Uori>
tian lands can be pertinently called
heathens they are also proper subjects
of conversion to Christianity, and nre
like the poor, “who," Jesus said, “are
with you always and y >u can do them
good when you pray.” It seems true
that the man who objects to foreign
missions does not trUiy believe in
home missions. He is not hisj'broth
er’a keeper” in any sense.
When reduced to its final analysis,
objection to missions involves one of
the many forms of selfishness. No an
ti missionary would care how many
heathens and cannibals were made
good Christiane and upright citizens if
it cost him no money to secure this
much to;|>e deaired rest It. There are
Many who apparently care more for a
dollar than they do for an immortal
soul.
The annual meeting of the Woman's
Foreign Missionary Society in For
syth, Georgia, in April next, will be a
notable event. Only once before with
in twenty years has the annual meet
ing been held in Griffin district, and
that was at Bxrhesville, Georgia, in
1881. There will probably be 300 del
egates and distinguished visitors in at
tendance, making one of the finest
bodies to assemble in the state this
year. But the well known hosoitalily
of Forsyth will be abundantlyijqual to
the occasion. \
The principal countries occupied by
our missionaries are China, Japan
Korea, Brazil and Mexico To these
foreign fields, during the past nine
teen years, we have sent eighty female
missionaries. Besides our regular
missionaries, we have in consianl em
ploy very many Bible- women The
Bible women are native foreign wo
men who have been Converted to
Christianity and ' who have been
taught so that they can teach others.
In speaking of representative wo
men from our beloved southland, in
the far away heathen countries, I am
reminded of the fact that no state has
contributed better material than
Georgia. Dr. Young J. Allen, possi
bly the most distinguished missionary
in the world, is a native Georgian and
a graduate of Emory college.. Miss
Laura Haygood, Bishop Haygood’s
“China Sister,” not a whit behind the
bishop in point of intellect and piety
is doing a heroic work as a missionary
in foreign lands and stippor'ed by our
board. Miss Laura, as is well known,
is also from Georgia, nod a graduate of
Wesleyan Female College, Macon,
Georgia.
Blood Poises Cured.
There is no doubt, according to the
many remarkable cures performed by
Botanic Blood Balm (“B. B. B.”) that it is
far the best Tonic'and Blood Purifier ever
manufactured. All others pale into insig
nificance, when compared with it It cures
pimples, ulcers, skin diseases, and all man
ner of blood and skin ailments. Buy the
best, and don’t throw yo-r money away
on substitutes. Try the long tested and
old reliable B. B. B. $1 per large bottle.
For sale by Druggists.
A BAD CASE CURED.
Three years ago I contracted a blood
poison. I applied to a physician at once,
and his treatment came near killing me.
I employed an old physician and then
went to Kentucky. I then went to Hot
Springs and remained two months. Noth
ing seemed to cure me permanently, al
though temporary relief was given me. I
returned home a rained man physically,
with but little prospect of ever getting w ell
I was persuaded to try Botanic Blood
Balm (B. B. B.) and to my utter astonish
ment it quickly healed every ulcer.

Eat Plenty of Lemons-
An experienced and highly respected
physician gave a valuable hint the other
day, which all may find valuable. “I am
convinced,” said he, “not only from prac
tical personal experience, but on the theo
retically scientific grounds also, that a
safeguard against much prevalent summer
illness lies in the free use of lemon juice.”
