Beginning w : th the afternoon
of the tenth of October the Home
and Foreign Missionary Societies
will observe jointly their annual
week of thanksgiving and prayer
at the Methodist church. The ob
ject of these meetings is to dif
fuse missionary knowledge, culti
vate the missionary spirit, and to
bring home to the hearts of the
workers the blessings that they
ar^ striving to shed into" other
lives. The ladies of thes
ties cordially invite their friends
to meet with them. There is lit
t j e of routjpe about these pr -
grumes , and the exercises are .x.
ten ded to be so broad in spirit
that there shall be no suggestion
o f anything denominational, since
m ( i woman’s work for women, 5 J
all Christian churches are at one.
The meetings will occupy five af
ternoons—two of which will be
devoted to the foreign work, two
to the home missions, and the
fifth to a consecration service in
which all are asked to take part.
When this paper appears the
District Missionary Conference
will be in session in Thomasville.
We hope that, many ot our read
ers will be there. The programes
are very interesting and helpful.
There is much to be learned and
much to be enjoyed in these times
of meeting with the women from
other parts of the district. Let
every worker who reads these
lines, at least give her bit of help,
by saying a fervent prayer for
guidance and wjsdom to be given
these who are to take part m the
exercises.
NOT LOST.
It is not for us to think that
that is lost which is not public
recognition. The most sacred
things are the things about which
men are most reticent and silent
The seed does not fall in the
earth with any noise; it falls as
silently as the dew, and in the si
lence it takes root and sprouts
and grows, and one day far hence,
perhaps, bears it full fruit. Could
we hear seed fall, our harvests
grow, we might then expect that
t he good deeds which sanctify and
beautify and happify life would
be heard in* mellow music. Inas
much as such things are not heard,
let us not expect that life’3 truest
and fullest service will find ex
pression in sound, in report, and
in “resolutions” printed in the
press.—Selected.
Sometimes in spite of fhe en
couraging tidings from every
quarter of the field, the home
workers grow a little discouraged,
and wonder why, it is, that the
coming of the kingdom cannot
like the spread of light, a swift
f dlowing a single ./Command of
the Lord. It has been said that
although God could evangelize the
. world without the assistance of
man, it has not pleased Him to
so arrange the plan of salvation.
The redemption of men comes al
ways, directly or indirectly
through wisdom human intervention. The
of this plan shows in the
fact that as Dr. Drummond has
said, that “Work is given to men
not only nor so much perhaps, be
cause the world needs it. Men
make work, but work makes
men. 5 5
God answers prayer; sometimes w T hen
hearts are weak,
He gives the very gifts believers seek.
But often faith must learn a deeper
rest,
And trust God’s silence when he does
not speak;
For he, whose name is Love, will send
the best.
Stars may burn out, nor mountain walls
endure,
But God is true, his promises are sure
1 o those who seek.
—Myra Godwin.
A Very Remarkable Remedy.

a
ure and satisfaction that I recom
mend Chamberlain’s Colic, Chole
J’u and Diarrhoea Remedy,” says
I°rd, Druggist A. W. Sawtelle, of Hart
Conn. It Recently a gentle
man came into my store so over
come with colic pains that he sank
at once to the floor. I gave him
a dose of this remedv and it help
mi him. I repeated the dose and

Killed His Rattler.
Gome weeks since, the G i j
| captured z -fold of a large rattlesnake j
by Mr. Henry Shan
non, of Funder, which he was
keeping captive until he had a
chance to sell it.
\ arious things were tried to
tempt the rattler's appetite, the
most successful being a live
rabbit, which he ate readily.
Last week in the woods near
his home, Mr. Shannon caught! j
a live chicken snake and put it
I * n a sac ^ t0 ^ ee< ^ to Kis rattler.!
j 0n his wa > T home he found a
j king snake, this too he caught
and took along, although it was
not a good day for snakes. -
| 'l he king snake was put in j
the sackwith the chicken snake,
! when he arrived home
and empt
ied them out, only about six
inches of the chicken snake’s
tail was sticking from the king
snake’s mouth. But the motion
of travel must have turned his
kingship’s stomach for he did
the whale act, and the chicken
snake recovered his liberty.
Both reptiles were put in the
the cage with the big rattler and
a day and night later, when Mr.
Shannon took a look at his
snakes the chicken was gone,
the big rattler dead and the king
snake was monarch of the pen
The singular part of the oc
curence is that the rattler was
about ten times as long as the
king snake, and how the latter
managed to overcome, him is a
mystery. The big fellow must
have put up a fight well worth
looking at before giving up the
ghost.—Tifton Gazette.
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.
No one who is acquainted with
its good qualities can be suppris
ed at the great popularity of Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy. It not
only cures colds and grip effectu
ally and permanently, but pre
vents these diseases from result
mg in ] eumonia. It is also a
certain cure for croup. Whoop
ing cough is not dangerous when
this remedy is given. It contains
no opium or other harmful sub
stance and may be given as confi
dently to a baby as to an adult.
It is also pleasant to take. When
all of these facts are taken into
consideration it is not supprising
that people in foreign lands, as
well as at home, esteem this rem
edy very highly and very few are
willing to take any other after
having once used it. For sale by

He Started a Match Charity.
A small newsboy, who had
picked up the stump of a cigar
stepped into an up-town gro
cery shop, says the Philadelphia
Press.
it Say, mister, give us a
match?” he said to the man be
hind the counter.
We do not give away match
es ; we sell them,” the clerk re
plied. boy.
How much?” said the
<< Cent a box,” was the reply.
Diving down into his pocket,
the boy produced the cent, say
ing, “Gimme a box.”
Receiving the matches, the
youngster proceeded to light his
cigar, and then, leaning across
the counter, he handed the box
of matches to the clerk and re
marked:
it Say, mister, you jes’ take
these here matches and put 'em
where they’ll be handy, and
when some other gentleman
steps in and asks fer a match
don’t you sell him a box, but
jes’ give him one on me.
And with a dignified air the
boy walked out of the shop.
Many Mothers of a Like Opinion.
Mrs Pilmer, of Cordover, Iowa,
says: “One of - my children was
subject to croup of a severe type,
and the giving of Chamberlain s
Cough Remedy promptly, always
brought relief. Many mothers in
this neighborhood think the same
I do about this remedy and
as kind for their
want no other Wight &
children.” For sale by
