THE NORTH GEORGIAN (SUCCESSOR TO THE NORTH GEORGIA BAPTIST.) Eatered at the postofflce at Cum- Edng, Ga., as second class matter. - '-r i A. —m, Says the New York Press: The rea son men don’t like a tearful play is it seems so much like home. All peace lovers, advises the Chris tian Register, should cultivate the ad mirable qualities of tin; soldier who endures hardness as a matter of course, because it is in the line of duty. Only'sl guns were fired for the Hol land heir, because it was a girl, whereas a boy would have been greeted with 101. Perhaps, ventures the New York American, the Holland ers expect a girl to even up on noise when she reaches the talking age. Maybe, after all, sighs the New Ha ven Register, this serious recommend ation of cannibalism is only a trick of tiie vegetarians, aided and abetted by the breakfast food people. Inci dentally, if it should succeed on its own basis, what a blow it would be to the beef trust. Many millions of capital are invest ed in manufacturing the apparatus for soda fountains. The product of these fountains is imbibed by the whole nation. It would be of public Interest, avers the New York Times, to learn whether the medical special ists condemn as "stomach-killing” so da water that is free of adulterants. Asa laborer, opines the Mexican Herald, the Japanese has ceased to figure in the future of Mexican indus try. It is believed the policy of the Japanese government, announced eopie time ago, of forbidding the emi gration of the laborer of that country to Mexico will be continued for many years to come and that the adminis tration of the policy will be such as to render the embargo absolutely, ef fective. Tho Chinese nre as c®urageous as any people on earth, announces tho Troy Budget. They have less fear of death than any people of the west, because their religion, teaches them that birth Is more to be deplored than death. They can raise an army live times as great as any country of Europe or American can. The nations of Europe and America have insisted on the Chinese waking up and learn ing the arts of war. \\ hat will the sequel be? Separate schools for tubercular children may be established in Phila delphia in t lit' near future, declares the Medical Journal. The new school code specifically prescribes that chil dren suffering from tuberculosis can not be admitted into the public schools and at tho same time pro vides for the compulsory attendance of all children between the ages of six and 1G years. It is the opinion of the educational officials that the only solution of the problem is to set aside \pecial schools for the use of the tub ercular pupils. The great change in British foreign policy after the Boer war began with the offensive and defensive alliance with Japan, and then followed in ra pid succession the various ententes between Great Britain and France and Russia, this movement going so far finally that the Germans complained that the British policy was to isolate the German empire in Europe. The importance of this radical change in British foreign policy cannot be over estimated in many ways, but in noting its effects one cannot ignore in the least the influence of the new alli ances upon the question of the British army, insists the Springfield Republi can. Sir Edward Grey in a recent speech declared that an attempt by “any great continental power to dom inate and dictate the policy of the continent" would "certainly produce conflict" in which his own country would actively participate*. And this declaration, of course, distinctly re vives the old British policy toward Louis XIV. and the first Napoleon, whose efforts to dominate Europe were regarded as dangerous to Eng land's national safety. BLERIOTMAKESHIBTORY' Crewses English Channel in His Airship in a Few Minutes. FROM CALAIS TO DOVER Machine Was Followed By French Tor pedo Boat, But the Latter Was Left Far Behind. Dover, England.—A calm French man, Louis Hleriot, a portly and red must ached man of 37, descended from the saddle of his aeroplane, limping on a bandaged foot which had been burned on bis previous overland flight —the first person to fly across the English channel. lie left Calais at 4:35 Sunday morn ing after several trial flights and made the distance in a little less than half an hour. I (is machine is one of the smallest ever used. This sleepy seaport town experienc ed the keenest/thrill known in a gen eration when at sunrise a white-wing ed bird-like machine with louf.ly hum ming motor swept out from the haze obscuring the sea toward the distant French coast and circling twice above the high chalky cliffs of Dover, alight ed on English soil. Ily his achievement Blcrjot won the prize of $5,000 offered by the London Daily Mail for the first flight across tiie Englisjh channel and stole a march on his rivals, Herbert Latham and Count de Lambert, both of whom had hoped to make the first successful trip. Hleriot, who speaks a little English, described his remarkable flight very modestly. "1 arose at 3 o’clock,” he said, “and went to the aeroplane shed. Finding everything in order on the trial spin, 1 (1< eided to make tHe flight. The French torpedo boat, destroyer which was in attendance was signalled and it put out about four miles. Then I rose in the air and pointed directly to Dover. After ten minutes I was out of sight of land and had left the warship well behind. For a few min utes I could not see either coast, nor any boat. "I tried to keep at an average height of 250 feet. I might easily have gone higher, but it would have •served no purpose. This was about the right height, I thought, to clear the Dover cliffs safely. "The machine dipped toward the water several times. 1 put on moi;e petrol once. I estimated that the propellers were going from 1,200 to 1,400 revolutions a minute. “The first objects I saw were ships off the English coast, then I observed Deal, and l discovered that the wind, which was southwest, was carrying me thither. I veered to the southward to Dover Castle and then saw friends flourishing a flag in a valley suitable for landing. I made two circles while lessening the speed, and then dived down, but I came in contact with the ground sooner than J expected. Both the machine and myself were badly shaken up. "A few persons quickly assembled, and l was. helped out, as my injured foot was painful. I am exceedingly glad to be here.” PLAGUE ATTACKS MAN AND BEAST. Thousands of Animals Die From Charbon. Lake Charles, La.—Charbon, a deadly and loathsome disease which afflicts cattle and which . has killed thousands of valuable animals' in Lou isiana, lias attacked human beings now and many men are under treat ment. In Leesburg, the county seat of Cameron parish, eight humans have been stricken. Up to date, no deaths have resulted. Charbon has afflicted cattle for cen turies, but lias seldom visited this country. It, was known to the an cients in Egypt and often scourged the Asiatic and Oriental countries. It is caused by a germ which enters the animal's skin through an abrasion. It multiplies and causes an inflamma tion which turns into a tumorous or cancerous growth which terminates in blood poisoning. The disease first made its appear ance about June 1, in two localities in southeast Louisiana, along the Mer mentan river, near Lake Arthur, and at lowa, near Lake Charles. It was not detected in time and spread rap idly over neighboring parishes. Germs from the dead cattle infested the ground upon which the animals had died and were thus communicated to other victims. The United States gov ernment. alarmed by the inroads the disease has made, has sent an expert from the bureau of animal industry to assist local veterinarians in fight ing the plague. They are urging cre mation of infected animals and the vaccination of all others. Once an animal is infected, there is no known remedy, but vaccination seems effect ive ill making them immune.

Newsy Paragraphs. From Omaha, Net)., it is reported that in an effort to break the price of wheat in the Chicago market, a clique of speculators is buying up every bushel of wheat as it leaves the thresher and is paying a bonus of four cents a bushel.

There was a rumor among men of the Atlantic battleship fleet off Nor folk, Va., that typhoid fever is preval ent. aboard the Wisconsin and that cases are reported aboard other ships of the fleet. Just how many cases were on the Wisconsin was not given out, but the conditions are said to be serious enough to warrant some im mediate action -on the part of the ship’s officers; accordingly the bum boatmen who have been supplying ice cream to the sailors are warned indefinite period.

The most exciting collision that has happened in the upper New York bay in many years occurred when the steamer Martha Stevens of the New York and Philadelphia Canal line, was lammed by the tug Confidence and sank after her boilers had blown up. The engineer of the Martha Stevens was drowned and nine persons, includ ing a woman and her fourteen-year old daughter, were resettled from the water. According to report, it was a misunderstanding of signals that caus ed the collision.

TIME. —A. D. 52. PLACE.—Corinth. EXPOSITION.—I. Paul Conduct ing a Revival in a Synagogue at Cor inth, l-<j. Aquila and his wife Pris cilla became very important members ot the church of Christ (see v. 26; Rom. 16:3, 4; 1 Cor. 16:19; 2 Tim. 4:19). It was, apparently, a matter of small consequence that threw Paul in with them—“he was of the same trade." But God uses things just like this for the promotion of His kingdom. It would be well if we would make more of them for the same purpose. Are you a merchant? Make a point of getting hold of mer chants for Christ. Are you a black smith? Cultivate the blacksmiths. An unrighteous edict of Claudius had driven Aquila and Priscilla cut of Rome. It doubtless seemed to them a bitter thing, but God turned it to their good, to no less a good than their eternal salvation (cf. Ps. 76: 10). There are men to-day who think it wrong, “a lack of faith,” to do manual labor or any secular work for their own support or that of their families, because God has “called” them to preach. If there was ever a man about whose call to preach there could lie no possible doubt, it is this man Paul, and yet he wrought with his hands (cf. ch. 20:3 4, 35). He got right down to honest toil, and set a wholesome example for the churdh and for us (1 Cor. 9:6-12; 2 Thess. 3:8, 9; 1 Thess. 2:9). We need many Pauls to-day, men so on fire with the Gospel and love for souls that they will not wait for someone to promise them support before they will preach, but, if need be, su]> port themselves. Paul preached, too, while he worked. To an audience of two; a small audience, but how those quiet meetings counted for eternity. Probably he got pretty tired during the week, but every Sabbath found him at his post. Note a very expressive statement in the R. V., “Paul was constrained by the word.” Paul had meditated upon the Word of God until it had so got ten hold of him that he could not keep still (cf. Jer. 20:9; Acts 4:20). It impelled him on. It showed him and overpowered him with the thought that Jesus was the Christ, and he must tell it out. But the Jews were not willing to receive Paul’s tes timony. “They opposed themselves and blasphemed.” The most faithful testimony will often he received in that way. That does not prove it un true, or that it has been unwisely put. It simply shows the thorough going badness of the hearts of even religious men. But Paul’s testimony was not in vain, after all. A large and singularly gifted church grew up in Corinth. Paul, in the face of all their opposition and rejection, could say, “I am clean.” It is a gfeat thing for any man to be able to say that. We can only say that we are “clean from the blood of all men” (Acts 20: 26), when we can say, as Paul does in the next verse, “.For I shrank not from declaring unto you the whole counsel of God” (R. V.). IT. Paul Conducting a Revival in the Home of Justus, Corinth, 7-11. Paul’s labors bore abundant fruit. Even the ruler of the synagogue re ceived the truth and with him his whole house. Many others believed also, and openly confessed their faith in baptism. The order of experience as given in verse 8 is suggestive; heard, believed, were baptized. But still there was opposition. Indeed the opposition doubtless increased with Paul’s success. “Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night.” That is just like the Lord. Paul had had a pretty hard time of it in Corinth, and was to have a still harder time, and the Lord appears and comforts him and strengthens him*for the coming trial. The Lord often spoke to Paul in this way (ch. 22:18; 23:11; 27:23-25). So He is ready to speak to us, but we do not need visions, as Paul did, for we have the written Word. We can carry the voice of God around in our vest pocket and have Him speak to us whensoever we will. Listen to the Lord’s message, “Be not afraid.” That is one of God’s favorite messages. There was to be opposition, but Paul must throw-fear to the winds, and speak right out the whole message of God. The Lord gave Paul an all-suf ficient reason for not being afraid: “For I am with thee.” Of course, then, Paul couldn’t be afraid. All Corinth was no match for Christ. It is no use telling a man not to be afraid unless you give him some rea son for fearlessness. But here is an all-sufficient reason and every child of God who is obeying Christ and go ing out to do His work, has the same reason (Matt. 25:19, 20; comp. Josh. 1:5, 9; Isa. 41 :10; 43:1. 2). Paul was to “speak” in face of all opposi tion and not hold his peace, and the Lord Jesus tells him why: “For I have much people in this city.” The Lord had people there and, the Lord’s people are called out by the spoken Word. It was a reason, too, for no man setting on Paul to hurt him. He never allows us to be really hurt (Rom. 8:31; Isa. 54:17; Jer. 15:20, 21). Corinth, with its wealth, its luxury, its profligacy, its vileness, did not seem much like a place where the Lord would have much people. But so it was. Let us take courage con cerning our modern cities. Often Ike Kidneys Are Weakened by Over-Work- Unhealthy Kidneys Make Impure Blood.
