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.

Empire she would, bv law and force
of arms, establish the Greek Catholic

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

prominent characteristics. England

for Baptist principles, hut no real for
them.

come visitor to my heart and
homo, I wish to contribute a word
0 j^g advancement,
Whu does the Title of the pap
er hugest to 1 he minds of its read
ers.
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

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.
