OPEN THE DOOR.
Open the door. Irtt In the sun:
We hath a smile for every one;
He hath/ made of the raindrops gold and
gems.
He may change our tears to diadems—
Open the door!
Open the door of the soul; let in
Strong, pure thoughts which wall banish
sip;
They will grow and bloom with a grace
divine,
And their fruit shall be sweeter tluxp that
of the vine—
Open the door!
Open the door of the heart; let in
Sympathy sweet for stranger and kin;
It wjll make tho halls of the heart so.fair
That! angels may enter unaware—
Open the door!
MISSION TO THE STREETS.
Did you ever consider that each one of
Ps have a mission to the streets. 1C
seems a queen idea, but it is really true,
that whenever we appear upon the streets
We each have a mission. It Is to carry a
cheerful face and a bright smile for ev
eryone. We scarcely realize the influence
we exert upon those we meet, even per
fect strangers, by the faceq we greet
them Yputh’s Companion gives
Incident to illustrate this thought and it
Is quite good enough to pass on that
others jpar profit by the idea:
“When Margaret Andrews was 25 she
received what she thought was a call to
the foreign mission field. Her parents,
nithough jhey at first tried to dissuade
her, put no obstacle in the way of her
hopes, and, full of eagerness, slje began
her training at a school in another city.
“One day she received a telegram. Her
Another had met with an accident, just
how serious could not at once be known.
Margaret packed her books and took the
first train home, expecting to return in
n few weeks. Long before the weeks
had passed she knew that her dream must
be given up. Her mother would never bo
able to do anything again, and Marga
ret, Instead of making her journey to
Strange lands, saw herself shut in tq tho
duties of housekeeper and nurse.
"For a year or two she bore her dis
epp intment in silence, then she went
to her pastor with it. The pastor was an
old man wjjo had known Margaret all her
life. He looked at her steadily for g mo
ment. Then he said slowly; ‘You are liv
ing in a city of two hundred thousand,
people Isn’t there need enough about
you to fill your life?’
“ ‘Oh, yes,’ the girl answered quickly,
‘and I could give up the foreign field. It
Isn’t that B<*J 1 haven't time to d% any
thing, not even to 'take a mission class;
and to see so much work waiting, and
be able to do nothing’ -
“‘Margaret,’ pig. old minister said,
‘come here.’ WP**
“Wonderlngly the girl followed him to
th . xt room, where a mirror hung be
tween the windows. Her reflection, pale
ur 1 unhappy, faced her wearily.
“ ‘AU up and down the streets,’ the old
mi.-,s:er said, ‘in the cars, the markets,
the stores, there are people starving for
the. bread of life. TJjp church cannot
n them—they will not enter a church,
ks cannot reach them—they will not
open a book. There Is but one way that
they can ever read the gospel of hope,
of joy. of courage, and that is in the
faces qf men and women. Two years ago
z. woman who has known deep trouble
came to me one , da-y and asked your
name. “I wanted to tell her," she said,
“how much good her happy, face did me,
bit I was afraid tha: slip would think it
presuming on the part of ;jn niter strang
er. Some day, perhaps, you will tell her
for me." Margaret, my child, look in the
glass and tell me if the face you seo
there has anything to give to tho souls,
that are hungry tor joy -and they are
more than any of us realize—who, un
known to themselves, ar. hungering fur
righteousness ? Do you think that woman,
if she were to meet you now, would say
what she said two rtars ago ”
rhe girl gave one glance and then
turned away, her che- ks crimson with
shame, it was hard to answer, but she
was no coyvjud. She looked up into her
old friend's grave eyes. ‘Thank you,’ she
raid T Shall try ty lean uiv lesson and
accept my mission—to the streets.’ ”
HEART TO HEART TALKS.
Did you ever think of how many of us
ere carrying burdens that we might put
down? 1 road a little piece called "Car
rying Burdens” that caused me to med
itate on this subject. You have often
seen the picture of the fabled Atlas bear
ing the world on his shoulders. You re
call how ho struggled under his heavy
burden, his head bowed forward, his
shoulders strained, ami his whole form
end face showing signs of the painful
effort he was enduring. A little girl was
looking at this picture once, and her
heart went out to him in pity, ami she’
said to her father; "Why doesn't that
man lay that thing down?” Ami her
father's answer was; “Because he sup
poses that he ought to carry the world
on his boulder.-. " And his is a mistake
that a great many of us are making.
THE HOT ONE -I don’t see how you keep so cool and comfortable this
blistering weather.
THE COOL ONE—Simplest thing in the world. I keep cool and clean inside,
and that makes me feel cool and clean outside. I take a CASCARET Candy
Cathartic every night before going to bed. It cleans and purifies the system,
Btops b ot fermentation in the stomach and bowels, and makes excessive per-
Bpiratlon Impossible. You know they work while you sleep, make you feel
fine all day»
How many of the burdens that oppress
us are burdens that we have no call to
carry! We worry over matters that are
outside of our sphere, and we are ready
to sink beneath the weight of cares and
anxieties that would better be left to Him
who alone can carry them. Whatever we
have to carry, the Lord will give us
strength to upbear; but there is many a
burden which we should do better to cast
upon the Lord, because it is His burden
for us and not ours for Him.
There are innumerable promises for
those burden carriers. “Come unto Me all
ye that labor and are heavy laden ami I
will give you rest.” There must be bur
dens on those to whom this invitation is
given, or they Would not be ‘Heavy
laden.” “Cast thy burden upon the Lord
and He w|l sustain thee.” Here we are
invited to cast the burden on the Lord,
no need for our carrying it when some
one is not only able, but willing to bear
it. These promises and many others are
given us, and yet we are all burden bear
ers. The trouble is. we take our burdens
to the right place, but do we leave them
there? No, indeed, we arc scarcely off
our knees before wc take up the very
burden we think we have left. Poor,
frail humanity! What a comfort to feel,
“He knowetli our frame, He remembereth
we are but dust.”
INFORMATION CORNER.
Do the sisters know that they can save
mustard seed and wash it ami dry in the
sun and loosen the coffee mill just a little
and grind the seed so it will be as fine
as this you buy. and so much stronger,
for making plasters and putting in
piekies? If you will get the yellow seed
and plant it will be just as pretty, ami it
saves so much to prepare your own
mustard. It. was such a help to me, so I
pass it on to others.

Antidote for Ivy Poisoning.-Sweet
spirits of niter, applied freely to affected
parts, will quickly destroy the effects of
ivy poisoning. We tested this antidote
whim severely poisoned by ivy. applying
cloths drenched in niter to faces and
hands for a number of hours when tho
itching, burning and swelling all disap
peared and wo suffered none of the effects
of ivy poisoning. Cases of long standing
rapidly yield to this remedy.
Onions Roasted In Ashes for Bee
Sting A man, while eating fresh honey,
was stung on the tongue by a. bee. His
tongue became so swollen that bls life
was despaired of. An old lady ordered
onions roasted in ashes and the juice of
the onions squeezed upon the tongue.
This reduced the inflammation ami the
swelling disappeared.

Did you ever think of the beautiful les

ble where Christ had fed the multitude
with, the five loaves and two little fishes.
He commanded that the fragments bo
taken up,. Jhat nothing be lost. Why did
He give suoh a command when He could
have turned stones into bread? It wius to
teach tills lesson. When 1 was a very
small child, my mother told me never
to throw even a efumb of bread into the
lire, that It waa a sin to burn anything
that would feed lite hungry, and that a
little grain or crumb would help feed a
little bird. Years have come and gone
sorrow and care have settled around me.
but that lesson, learned in early child
hood, has never been forgotten, and to
this day I could not burn or destroy
anything that would be of help to any
body or anything. In summer I gather
and save ujl the jjeed I can. 1 am uftev

BOTH THROWN IN THE WATER.
Narrow Escape of Mr, O’Farrell and
Daughter Aim Drowning.
Athens, Ga., Angus 18.—(Special.) —A.
11. O'Farrell, of this < ■ . ! carrying his
right arm in a sling, uoJ result of a
very thrilling experience he had a few
days since at Moultieville, near Charles
ton, S. C.
Mr. O'Farrell was accompanied by his
young daughter, Aurelia, and they had
just started to get on a boat to take a
pleasure trip arfund Charleston harbor.
To reach tho boat they had to embark
at the wharf in a light boat and be car
ried to tho larger vessel. Mr. O'Farrell
got into the boat first and his daughter
st( pped In after him. As site touched the
bottom of the boat it careened and she
lost her balance. As she grablied at the
tlmliers of the wharf to steady herself
she pushed (lie boat away from the
shore and in doing so the boat w is cap
sized, throwing both father and daughter
into the water.
Air. O'Farrell, although lie had not
been in the practice of swimming for
some time, began at Once to seek to save
fils child. If possible. Before lie could
reach her she had gone down twice.
Just in time he reached her side and
throw his right arm under her shoulder.
It was: then a battle to get back to tlie
boa.t, which liad drifted some distance
away. When Mr. O'Farrell rebelled the
side 'of the little boat ho was almost ex
hausted. Just, as he was fixing to Hit.
his daughter into tho boat a wave struck
the little craft and came very near
breaking his hold upon its side. It was
just then that ins arm was so severely
wrenched as to lead him to believe that
ft was broken. He held on. however
with grim determination and managed
to got. the little girl into tho boat safely
ami to draw himself In after her. His
injured arm gave him much p iln and
trouble, and even now he cannot use it.
It. wa.s’one of the most thrilling experi
ences ho ever hail, and nothing but the
fact that li.- was a good swimmer saved
him and Ids child from a watery grave.
ECONOMY IN SOUL SAVING.
Chicago Divine Thinks Our Churches
Are Too Costly.
Chicago, August 17.—“A trust” in re
ligions forces to bring about econo
mies in soul saving after the manner
of the commercial business has boon ad
vocated by the Rev. Dr. Bruce Brown,
In tlie North Side Christian church.
“It is high time there should be a
trust in religious circles and resources.”
he said. "Our present methods tend tz
multiply churches in respectable conz
munities and to leave the slums desti
tute of church privileges.
“We build so many churches among
tile comparatively good people that we
have no money left to preach the gospel
to the poor. The millennium will never
dawn on a divided ohurch. The king
dom of this world will not be made the
kingdom of God by any sect or schism.
Our usefulness and efficiency and influ
ence would be magnified many fold if
w>- would cease multiplying churches
where they are needed least and use the
money for building churches where they
are most needed. I am in favor of a
religious trust.”

features in this month's edition. Among
these is an illustrated article by Mrs. Nel
ple Peters Black on the subject. “Hand
work bj' AVomen of North Georgia.” The
article demonstrates the thrift of many
of these women despite the disadvantages
of their labor, as illustrated in the case
of Miss Emily Ferguson, of Gordon coun

“She is well known in all parts of our
state for her taste in the combination ot
colors for the rag rugs and portiei-es she
weaves.
"Afany and many a rag bag has been
sent her and in return she has woven
yards of cloth that brighten and give
color to many dainty boudoirs.
“Miss Emily says she would like to have
a well dug near her house sometime, It
she can make money enough to pay for it,
but she is afraid she can't learn how
to draw up the water!
“To our inquiry about where the water
came from for her cooking and washing,
she said: ‘.Why, I have toted it from the
spring yonder (fully 400 yards distant)
ever since 1 could walk.’
“Think of this life-time desire, this un
fulfilled ambition! Can wc not hear her
feet crunch through the snow of winter
as she goes to and fro.with her bucket;
back and fortli through the sunshine and
rain, waiting for the day when she can

be learn how to draw up a bucket of wa
ter! It Is such a blessing to give these
women work; they are proud and inde
pendent and are so grateful for an oppor
tunity to fill orders and the well-earned
money means so much to them. The in
terest being manifested in hand-work in
northern states makes us more fully alive
to the Importance of keeping' our women
here from laying aside their shuttles and
looms, and we only hope many others
may be encouraged to do the same work.
1 have seen a woman knit gloves from
rabbit fur and cotton, and weave fine
hats of wheat straw, when she was rest
ing from hoeing her corn. Another makes
baskets of sorghum cane peeling and tlie
seed of cantaloupe melons.
“Ju each of these women the artist's
instincts struggle through tlie environ
ment of cooking, and washing and cutting
wood. The creative lingers made beauty
that was taught only by tlie birds of the
forest as they wove bits of blight strings
into their nests, and wild flowers bloom
ing into a glory of color caught the eye
and awoke tlie soul to a love of tlie beau
tiful. I have seen these same women
fairly bubble over with gratitude for a
chance to keep the ten lingers busy and
their joy in doing is only equaled by their
honesty in filling tlie orders that come to
them. The greatest event that occurs
in the every-day life of such women is
a letter bringing an order for their work.
It is more exciting even than tho cow
getting in tlie corn field, or the brown
turkey lien coming off her nest witli a
new brood of young ones!
“If a school of manual training could
be established in every county in Geor
gia where boys and girls could be taught
to utilize the common every-day products
around them, like shucks, bulrushes,
wheat straw, sedge grass, etc., tho indus
trial development of our state would be
remarkable. It is to such practical sub
jects as these that Georgia dub women
have devoted much time for several years,
and already Floyd, Madison and Bartow
counties have those schools through tho
efforts of flic club women—the latter, the
Bartow county school, being supported
entirely by money sent here from Mas
sachusetts club women, I mention this
fact because w< are so glad to see them
showing /in interest in the white children
of the south.
“We only hope other counties may fol
low suit, and thereby bring a now
interest info the monotonous lives of the
ordin,-iii oountrj people who live am,a

Ail the wounds had apparently been

It looks as though the murderer, after

satisfied that the boy was murdered by
