GIVING.
“Go, break to the needy sweet
charity’s bread,
Forgiving is living,” the angel
said,
“And must I be giving and giv¬
ing again?”
My peevish and pitiless answer
ran,
“Oh nol” said tin angel, pierc¬
ing me through,
“Just give till the matter stops
giving to you.”
•—The Westminster.
THE OBJECT
of thi3 column is to arouse the
women of our church to the Home
Mission Work, and to lead them to
see the need, of every woman and
girl joining this organized army of
church workers, and may they be
impressed with the truth that,
“ 1 here is that scattereth and yet
increaseth; and there is that with
holdeth more than is meet but it
tendereth to poverty.”
It does seem that we as benefi¬
ciaries ot God’s blessings, would
be more willing to do something to
help in giving the gospel to the
heathens in our land, and to help
provide food and raiment lor those
who are less fortunate than we?

An Evil.
Mr. Editor :
A few days since while waiting
for a train at Union Point, I saw
three boys looking intently at
something handed them by a man
who seemed to be acquainted with
one of the boys.
Coming nearer them I discovered
that it was it photograph of the vic¬
tims of the recent Watkinsville
lynching—if there has been a more
atrocious than this lynching, I
have not read of it. The boys
were of ten to twelve years, and
were simply feasting on the pic¬
ture. One pointed out “the man
whose heart was shot out.” I
looked over, there they were, tied
to the fence, ropes around their
necks, dead! murdered !
The three boys looked, drew
nearer, and continued to look. A
policeman took a look and indulg¬
ed the wish that such a scene
could be enacted in every town in
Georgia.
A by-stander remarked that one
of those photograph was displayed
over the door of a grocery store in
a neighboring town.
As people we ought to demand,
if need be, that Georgia Legisture
at its next session exact stringent
laws against making and displaying
any such pictures.
That picture was working to
make lynchers of those boys. It
countenanced the crime; it was an
evil.
This evil ought to be lawed out.
