SKID’S ONCE A WEEK TALK
Beautiful! beautiful and could the
farden of Eden been more to when
Mother Eve waa mistress of it, than tbe
garden display of flowers at tbe Y. M.
C. A. building by tbe ladies of tbe gar
den association. One beautiful 'ight
waa.attatched to tbe garden that tbe
garden of Eden did not posaess the
beautiful women and other attractions,
not known in our Mother Eve’s day
and generation. As we were standing
among the flowers and ladies admiring
both and the sweet music, the thought
came why did the maker of all things
make fbe flowers before the womeD. If
we had been the dictators we should
proposed the woman be made then tbe
diamond rings from ber fingers and her
watch and cbain and laid them beside
her earrings, and turning toward tbe
congregation, her face brilliant with in
spiration, she cried out, who next!
This brought a deacon to his feet, who
drawing from his fob a ponderous
valuable gold watcb, walked up to the
alter and laid it beside Miss Shepard’s
wstch and jewels. The spiritual fire
was evidently rising. That whioh a few
minutes before looked like a quiet,
peaceful stream soon became a rushing
torrent. Men and women filled the
tales and struggled to get past each
other to be the first to make their offer
ings. One poor woman who looked as
tbe stood in need herself, took
off her wedding-nng, and while the
tears streamed down her cheeks laid it
flowers, as it is the flowers were made
first for the woman instead the woman
then tbe flowers. As a rule the women
are admired first then the flowers. But
the wise thought, diflerently as the
Bible teaches us all things were made
for maD. The cultivation of flowers
illustrates fine taste and refinement,
when we see a home well deoorated
with flowers, we believe that there is
neatness cheerfulness and lovers of the
beautiful things of mturein that house.
And we give the female department
credit for such display as the men gen
erally care but little to cultivate flow
ers, their taste aud refinement runs in
a different channel. Tbe lovelv and
well-bred women are lovers of flowen
and the beautiful things of nature. A
gay fashionable giddy beaded woman is
tbe lover of silk and eattin ribbons and
lace nonesense and no sense. O! ye
vain humanitv! cultivate and become
tbe lovers of flowers, natures beautiful
gift and let tbe heathen admire and
adorn themselves with tbe artificial
gorgeous and so called fashionable
articles that so many women like to
display flowers on their persons. This
show we have been talking about wa«
the best we or any one in Athens has
ever seen in this line of production,
this we speak knowingly. The garden
of Eden we cannot thus speak but no
doubt it was a beautiful spot, and
Adam and our Mother Eve must en
joyed it all by themselves. The ladies
of this Athens Garden Club deserve
much credit, it has been a labor! us Job
on tbe alter with the others. Several
times the minister, who was conduct
ing the revival, tried to start a hymn,
but he might as well attemptedm stop
the Athens dispensary. The rxoitt-
inent about here was at fever best, and
the principal idea of every person in
the congregation seemed to be to get
rid of his or her earthly belongings
and effer it to the Lord. When the
alter was piled high with gifts, an old
gentleman arose in the back part of the
church and cried out in a loud voice:
Bless the. Lord. Then drawingfrom
his pocket a large, old-fashioned watch
to wnich was attached a big bunch of
seal) which were worn in tbe last gen- [
eration, he held so tbatevery one might |
see ft and again should: Bisss the
Lord. My dear brethren and sisters,
this is a glorious day to me, men and
women, laying their gifts npon the
alter of God for Christ Jesus. It fills
my soul with joy to have a watcb, a
silver watcb, which was given me by
my dear mother before she died, nearly
flearly fifty years ago. She took it
with the chain which was around her
neck, as she lay on her dying bed and
gave it to me, and she said almost with
her last breath, Thomas William,
Johnson, I obarge you to keep it fur it
belonged to your grandmother.
At this point tbe fat man blew bis
nose and wiped his eyes With a red
bandanna handkerchief: My poor
dead mother loved that watch and I
love it too. It has been with me to all
parts of the world; it never loges, and
George
Great lives always leave great lessons for the
young. Such a life as that of George \V.
Childs leaves many a lesion. A few lines
which Mr. Childs wrote last Christmas are
deserving of note:
“One of my first recollections of Christmas
Day Is, having no sled with which to enjoy the
frost-covered ground, for we had frost and
snow on Christmas when l was a boy. and 1
made up my mind that before the next
Christmas arrived I should have one. And I
had and without any one giving it to me
either, as I had both earned and saved the
money with which 1 bought it.
“And if a lesson can be drawn from a single
Incident in mV boyish Christmas, it is that
any boy who is determined to succeed will do
so if he keep his aim constantly before him
and neglect no legitimate means toward
tor them and the whole community, . , . „ .
should thank thorn for the beautiful hM ° d1 * ooet me 8eventy-five cents for
display. We do, and m.y they Uve to repays in twenty years, ana m yon ap-
repeat it another season. Three good “J™ * P “ e ° f
honest hearty cheer, for the ladies of ™ keep K. I
.V* a rinh > like silence during bis exortation, and
when he sat down the choir strnok up
the Athens Garden Club.
How hard and discouraging it is for
some charches^to collect from its mem
bers a sufficient amount of money to
pay the expenses attached to it. Id
some cases it is like trying to draw
blood from a beat; you get none. We
know of a church not a thousand miles
from Athens with over six hundred
members, and (as 1 am told) tonr hun
dred of them do not pay one cent to
wards any of the many calls connected
with the church. They enjoy the same
privileges as those do who pay their
hnnrcds. The lady members of the
church that are of the non-paying
class have the same opportunity at the
church of showing that fashionable
new bonnet and guessing the style of
snob a one’s dress to pattern from, if be
coming, as they that pays their ratio
of the expenses. All churches are not
made up of that class of members, as
will be seen by the following little in
cident ot the doings of a Methodist
ehurch we attended in New York. An
appeal was made to the members of the
ehnroh for financial help to aid tbe mis
sionary oaoae and other things connect
ed with the churen. The first one to
set the ball in motion waa Mias L'tolsia
Shepard, a rich member, who walked
up to tbe alter relating a pretty story
about the Franco-Prussian war, when
the appeal was made to the women ot
Germany for aid by the late Emperor
William, bow they took their jewelry
and watches and laid them on the
alter of their country. If M this
women could do this to aid a war, shall
wa do leas for Jesus, and as she said
this she deliberately took her magnifi-
mt earrings from ber ears and laid
them on tbe alter, then she took the
Gaining His End

was like tbe many cbnrch-going people
you will find in most every church who
"heds tears, talks load, says amen, bat
when called to help in a good cause,
are like the one with the wateb. I guess
I’ll keep it. There are lots of stingy
workers in the Lord’s vineyard all
through'tha country.

“When 1 was a boy I made up my mind
to be rich, and 1 also made up my mind that
when 1 should be a man I would give
Christmas presents to eveiy one 1 knew. If 1
have not been able to accomplish my resolve it
has not been for laeft of will. 1 can truthfully
say that the happiest week in each year of my
life is the one which directly precedes
Christmas, when 1 feel that I am able to send
presents to about two thousanJ people whom
1 know and feel are perfectly deserving of
them.”
Mr. Childs’ natural endowments were
perhaps no greater than those of thousands of
boys, who started out in life with him, but
whose names have never been known outside
of their own little circle of immediate friends.
The Difference Was
that Mr. Childs h.*i a definite purpose;
Wealth and Philanthropy;and see how
straight he steered to h«s mark. The boys
who had equal talents, but whose names the
world has never heard, had no definite plan of
life; they simply haJ a vague impression that
, the world owed them a living, and so they
stumbled along through life with the hope
that somehow, sometime, somewhere they
might perhaps stumble unto fortune or fame;
but they never did; fortune and fame are not
found that way.
It was this definite purpose that enabled
Childs, who began life as a poor boy, to
purchase the Public Ledger when it was
losing $150,000 a year, and make of it a
property that pays $1,000 a day. His fame at
a liberal giver to all worthy charities is world
wide.
If Mr. Childs were a boy now he would be
I among tne first to take advantage of The
Constitution’s Encyclopaedia offer, for boys of
bis mettle never miss such an opportunity to
better their chances for
