odd Moments.
As 1 take the advantage of a few
odd moments to write an article for
The Teleacope, the subject of Odd
Moments comes forcibly to my
mind.
Of all the gitta bestowod upon us
by the lather =of - light, therc is
nothing of which we are more ex
travagant than the short time nilot-i
ted ug in which todo good., Tltis
not the hours of business that we
80 extravagantly waste, but the odd
moments ; the only time we have
for doiug little deeds of kindness,
and studyiug to prepare our minds
tor the great work of Christianity,
We have no idea how much we
might accomplish if we would util
ize the odd moments of life, Many
of our most illustrious men have
acquired their great nttainmentsl
by employing their spare moments |
when not engaged in the business
from which they obtained a sup-}
port. We find a great many Chris
tians that are perfectly ignorant of 1
the teachings of the Bible, They
excuse themselves by saying they
don’t have time to read. But how
much time do you waste that
might be employed studying the
Bible? Did you ever think of it?
Let us culeulate a littlee There is
no persou under ordinary circur
stances but has one hour each day
for recreation. It is necessary that
they should. Suppose they spend
half of this time reading the Bible,
which would be one halt hour per
day, or three and half hours per
week, This would look like a very
small allowance of time for the im
portant purpose of reading the Bi
ble. If the law just allowed us that
much tiweé how hard we would,
think of it. - But hew much couldl
we read in that titae? Atleast thres!
chapters per day. At this rate we
would read the New Testament
through in 83 days, or five times
in a year, or silty times in ten|
years, How many cap say thfi‘\,’i
have done this? But few read it
through in ten years, -No wonder!
we are ignorant. Under the law of
Moses the Jews were required toi
teach (the commandments of the
Inw) diligently to their Lhihimn.l
To teach them diligently required
something more than to merely
have the Bible on your shelf to re
fer to, to find the preacher’s text.
They were required to talk of them
while sitting in tHeir houses, and
when they walked by the way, and
when fhiey lay down, and when
they roseup. This certainly re
ferred to their spare moments. It
they were required to thus employ
every moment of time under the
old law --the imperfect law—what
will b expected of us under the
New Testament—the - perfect law?
How reuch time does this allow us
to study the Bible, when we sitin
our house? think of the long hours
wo sit in our houses in‘¢hose long
winter nights. What a grand op
portunity for study and teaching.
What & shame that we will sit in
our houses, around our pleasant
firos, surronnded with the countless
bleggings of God, and His word at
our hands, dnd waste, ves worse
than waste our time pouring over
the trashy literature of the day.:
Think of the many hours of leisure
in the hot summer months, that
we too often waste in like manner.
- There is, therefore, no excuse for
anyonc being ignorant of God’s
word, if we will utilize our spare
time. That done will save us and
our children from a traditional re
ligion—believing thus and so be
cause father or mother did. Let us
then gave, our odd moments like
‘the miser saves his odd dimes, and
‘wo will be amply rewarded for our
labor with. an abundant store of
Lnowledge with which we can hon
or God, enlighten our fellowmen
and work out our own salvation —

BUCHANAN, GHORGIA, SATURDAY, AUGUST 16,1884,
~An Jowa minister; in ‘preachint
upon the death of a man who wnvv'i
run over, while iutoxicated, by the
cars, alluded to the salopnskceper
who sold the untortunate man the
liquor, and his reponsibility for tbe
man’s death. The sampla btfiness
man thought to turn the minister’s
rematk into an adverfiggment for
himself and saloon, wfi‘%fit the

ly show.” It is for the people to say
whether this flow of eriminalty and
pauperism shall flow on forever, or
whether it shall be checked. It is
the question of the hour; itisa
question which, in importance to
the country, is above slavery, a
bove Itariff, above any quesiion
that can possibly come before the
people. It is purity against rum
mills. It<ds purity against corrup

republican institutions is involved
in it, The one question in A
