MIL POOR ORPHANS A recent issue of Uockdttl Banner tells a pathosic story of a b arm ] aKg orphan hoy wh o had been around the place for romc time. The boy had crawled into a dry goods box in the porch of Mr. W. B. J. Ingram’s store to sleep. 1 n crawling out before day the next morning lie awakened the merchant, who rushed out with his gun and thinking it a dog prow ling around shot at him, tilling his feet with about sixty bird shot. The Atlanta Constitution of* .July 17, in commenting on this; pathetic incident, holds up its hands in horror that such a thing' should happen “in Georgia,” and says: “Surely it cannot ho that any where in Georgia such an incident as this could have taken place. In a land of churches and of schools, of loieigu missions and ol luippj^ homos, t hat a haimless orphan hoy,' uncared for and neglected. should find refuge only in a un goods I-ox, and he shot at liken do;', t hat, stlcli a thing should he possible must create wonder. “Tho poor wo have always with us; tlie orphan and the widow, and in their care more than prayers long drawn out, lies the essence of Christianty. “A harmless orphan who had been around the place some time! ♦Surely the sentence speaks for itself!” Only a lew months ago, when the orphans, and widow's, and tlie otiiei pou-ity nl l token unlot a ten of Georgia were appealing* the strong men ,f tlu* sn¥Te ! heli> remove tin* curse which ha been the prime cause of their mis ery and save thousands, ol other Georgia boys and Georgia homes from a similar fate. The Atlanta Constitution arose and champ ioned the opposition to their ap peal! Its cunningly phrased edi torials, backed by its commercial and social standing, furnished soothing syrup for a few states men to-pour on their troubled con sciences, and caused a few weaker minds to see even as they were bade to see. Had the Constitution used its influence in behalf of the wives and children of drunken husbands many homes in Georgia might have had a different tale to tell today. The incident of one little orphan wandering about t hro streets when no one would offer shelter and pro tection. seems to touch the heart of the editor of the Constitution. Wouldn’t his heart be the deeper touched if he could see hundreds, of children in Georgia today whose fate is even worse than tlie fato of an orphan with their faces turned to him in a personal appeal for help?—Sentinel. £ DA*VS' '■'**- Om-'.-m'eet!

Over share of the spoils of the Empire she would, bv law and force of arms, establish the Greek Catholic church. Fiance has demonstrated the fact, by In r rule over Anam, that she is “not i good foster mother to Protestant missions.” Japan would secularize ler share of the territory, infidelity, atheism and com mere al greed are some of her prominent characteristics. England hrui Germany have more tolerance for Baptist principles, hut no real for them. Onr country would have every thing to lose by a partition of the Chinese Empire and naught to gain.

That there is a march playing in two step time within the reach of every footstep that is printing tracks in the sands of time. Are we progressing toward a high aim in life or are we indolent ly sitting, waiting, watching and hoping to profit by the success, misfortunes or failures of others, as the ease may be? Behold the wreld est un jardin de bon et de nml. There is no hand of progress that will stop to knock at the door of the. house of Indolence for on trance where the cob webs of Idle ness have gathered the dust and lints, the:* only wastes which drift here or there like rags of sea weed on tho heaving waves, from the spring breezes that are laden with so many good things. Progresf on every hand avoids the union of indolence to retard her footsteps and is ever formed waving a ban nar upon which the words are in scribed in golden letters Upward, Upward, Onward, Onward. And the voices that lead the way send back echoes, “If at first you don’t succeed try, try again, for tis a lesson you should heed. If the miner would find t he gold he must make progress in shovenng out the dirt that buries his rewards; so does the same hold true with those w ho are striving to reach the goal, to find the hidden treasures they must ever keep . perfect time in the march of progress and keep limit* Jutpner waviu.g Yi>J'nu wwa.v nil obstacles and difficulties that , . •' , , dclitv. , , ,,,, The would invite Hi.-u* '; orkl “<’ver stands but makes its y^y^'^ious around the sc:, and is ever progressing in the pur pose for which it was formed and prompts nil its occupants to tail p. j me JU1(1 listen to the words of the milsic « Go to the ant thou sluggard.” Yes hastening on for ' 1 Time and Tide wait for no man, leaving a written testimony, "There arethrea things we can not call back again, wasted oppor t-«nitios: Idle words, and Golden Time squandered in idleness. Can we profit in our march of progress by looking back over the vast oasis that is strewn only with wasted opportunities? All there is left for us to gather in these retro spections are sighs deep and mournful over. The place when* we might have delved deeper in the minds of knowledge to have been more able to solve the prob lems of life. A time when fortune 1 smilingly reached out her hand to rescue us from depths of poverty and scorn. A time when we might have sown seeds in kind words that would have sprung up and blossomed into perfect Lowers of friendship to sympathize and cheer in hours of distress and sorrow. A time when idle words had cast some poor soul into depths of sorrow from whence no traveler ever returns, when a kind and. loving word might have led them into the glorious light of a Sav ior’s love. A guidon time squand ered in idleness when we might have been serving as a guiding in the progress of God’s Holy word in which there is formed a free fountain of peace and ness ^ or who will drink.
