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. MRS. B. F. 151 ST IN. Antidote for Ivy Poisoning.-Sweet spirits of niter, applied freely to affected parts, will quickly destroy the effects of ivy poisoning.

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.

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.

"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.

PRETTY HAND WORK DONE IN THE RURAL DISTRICTS a RT and Photography," the inter /\ esting magazine being most suc ■* >■ cessfully edited by Mrs. Wal ter Howard, presents many interesting 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 ty, of whom Mrs. Black writes: “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 save enough to have a well dug and may 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 our red hills.” — Itching.

Yet the whole number of senate seats is ninety, it is plan, then, that though ten thousand max be perfect for the place, nine thousand, nine hundred and ten will be denied And so with money—witli a “business success." le t k very man be p> rfect m his work of wits" and ham?, perfect of thought, and deed and habit, yet shall a majority go empty of that “success.
