Few things are more trying on the nerves of a sensitive and sympathetic Christian minister than to be called on to preach a funeral, or rather a memo rial and commendatory sermon, over the remains of a man who has lived a notoriously impure and wicked life. The grief-burdened widow and stricken children, who are perhaps densely igno rant of many of the weaknesses and sins of the dead husband and father, are present, and to add to their sorrow would be an exhibition of brutality of which no true gospel minister could for one moment be guilty. On the other hand, the preacher feels that he must not stultify himself. He cannot “preach the man to heaven,” when he and his hearers are profoundly convinced that the deceased had all his life long defied Almighty God, and giv en all his service to the devil. To give a man a through ticket to the better land whose whole earthly existence has been a protest against religion, a prac tical denial of Jesus Christ as the Sa vior, is to bring the pulpit and the preacher into disrepute — thoughtful people are disgusted, irreparable harm is done the church of God and the cause of religion generally. Lewd fellows of the baser sort hear the fulsome eulo- j giums, and on leaving the church shake 1 hands with themselves and say, “Well, ]l can live as I pleasef—I can curse, and drink, and gamble; I can lead a double life, and just before I die I will instruct my family to have IJr. Dryas dust conduct funeral services over my remains, and I know he will land me safely on Canaan’s happy shore.” We know that the evil complained of ex ists, and that there is urgent need of reform. What is the remedy? We an swer, to a very great extent funeral preaching should he dispensed with. Practically all religious denominations have their own printed burial service, compiled by great and wise men. On all ordinary occasions let the burial service, in a solemn, deliberate man ner, bd read. Let an appropriate song be sung, an earnest prayer offered, and the remains interred. Funeral services should be brief. They cannot benefit the dead. Mere words can impart hut little comfort to the living. Grief of this nature must run its course. An honest, truthful minister will not preach a man to heaven if he feels con vinced that the man has gone in the other direction. Not a Soul on Board Schooner. Mobile, Ala., March 24. — Almost | wonderful to relate, the schooner j Cleopatra, which has been sailing the | gulf without a guiding hand or a soul | on hoard, has been found in an appar- j ently uninjured condition, with all sails set. This was the manner in which she was discovered hv men who went out from Pensacola to St. George’s Island, where the vessel was slightly aground. She had evidently gone upon the beach easily, for she had suffered no injury, except a little to the hull, where she had pounded upon the sand, and can he easily repaired. On December 20 the vessel was caught in a terrific storm on the gulf, which raged so fiercely that the captain and crew were washed from the decks. The sails were set then, and they have remained so, the vessel wandering about the gulf and turning with the change of the wind until she finally landed on the beach. During this period the gulf was vis ited by half a dozen severe storms, but the vessel, without a man aboard, weathered them all. Aboard were found portions of the naval stores, while that portion stored in the hold was intact and uninjured. This is the most re markable maritime occurrence known in years. True Womanly Beauty. No woman can be truly beautiful who has a vellow complexion caused by a torpid liver. To he beautiful a wo man must have good health, and this can he accomplished by occasionally using St. Joseph’s Liver Regulator fei- ether liquid or powders, as you like best.) It keeps the bowels open, pass ing off the poisonous, effete matter, and in this way purifies the blood and assists in clearing the complexion. All women should occasionally use St. Jo seph’s Liver Regulator. Liquid, 50 cents a bottle; powders, 25 cents a box. Many a man who looks wise and says nothing is unable to make good. Prohibition Movement Grows Strong. As is well-known, Georgia led the prohibition movement, her State-wide law going into effect Jan. 1, 1908. Alabama, Mississippi and North Car olina followed, statutory prohibition becoming effective Jan. I, 1909. Tennessee came next, her State wide law to become elfective July 1, 1909. In Kentucky, out of 119 counties, 96 are now dry; 13 have saloons in one town only; four have them in three towns; two at two places, and the re maining four have all thejcounty under prohibition outside the incorporated towns. A State-wide law is hoped for 8oo n. Louisiana has 33 out of her 59 par ishes entirely dry, besides much terri tory in the remaining 26 under prohi bition law. The parishes are voting dry as fast as elections are called. The Legislature of 1908 failed to pass a State-wide law, subsituting a stringent restrictive measure. Petitions are now being circulated asking the Legislature of 1910 to submit to the people a pro hibition amendment to the Constitu tion. All hut ten of Florida counties are dry—36 out of 46. The only wet places are 15 cities, and the number of saloons in them is 324. The Legislature, now in session, is by a large majority pledged to submit a Constitutional amendment to a vote of the people. This vote cannot be taken until 1910, but when it is, prohibition is practically certain to win. In Texas, out of a total of 246 coun ties, 157 are dry, 66 partially so, and 23 are wet. In the Democratic pri maries of 1908 a majority voted to submit a Constitutional prohibition amendment to the people, hut when the Legislature rnet a vote for “submis sion” failed to pass by a narrow mar gin. It had a majority, but failed to get the two-thirds majority required. South Carolina has 21 of her 42 coun ties under prohibition, while the re mainder have dispensaries only in the larger cities, arid most of them only at the county-seat. A bill for statutory prohibition has passed the House, but has been defeated in the Senate and a compromise reached by which the vote for State-wide prohibition will be thrown hack upon the counties after a two-weeks’ trial of prohibition in Au gust next. The dry counties may then vote the dispensaries hack if they choose, hut South Carolina prohibition ists are confident that the result will he for Stute-wide prohibition. Victors to Return Flag to Conquered. Atlanta Journal, Forty-five years ago, at Spottsylva- nia court-house, Virginia, the regimen tal flag of the 14th'Ceorgia was cap-* tured by the 15th New Jersey. That was on May 12, 1864. On May 12 of this year, the anniver sary of the famous battle, on the very spot where it fell into the hands of the enemy, the tattered old flag will be re turned to the survivors of those who fought under it. Gov. Smith has appointed Rev. M. J. Gofer, of Atlanta, and Col. J. W. Pres ton, of Macon, to go to Spottsy] vania and receive the flag in the name of the State of Georgia and the old Four teenth. Dr. Gofer and Col. Preston are surviving members of the famous old regiment. The appointments were made by Gov. Smith in response to a request from the Fifteenth New Jersey Regi ment Memorial Association that he name representatives from this State, one of whom should have been a mem ber of the regiment. A monument will be erected by the New Jersey as sociation on the battlefield. “Poor Jim was always very consider ate. mum.” “Considerate! Why the brute used to heal, you.” "True, mum; but he never hit me where the marks could be seen by the neighbors, mum.” A knowledge of birth stones never helps a girl to acquire a solitaire.
