IF THEL0RD8H00LDCOME.
If the Lord should come to the morning
As I went about my work,
The little things and the quiet things
That a servant cannot shirk,
Though nobody ever sees them,
And only the dear Lord cares
That they always are done in the light
of the sun,
Would he take me unawares?
If my Lord should come at noonday,
The time of dust and heat,
When the glare is white, and the air it
still.
And the hoof-beats sound in the
street,—
If my dear Lord came at noonday,
And smiled in mjr tired eyes,
Would U not be sweet his looks to meet?
Would he take me by surprise?

In the fragrant dew ana dusk,
When the world drops off its mantle
Of daylight like a husk.
And dowers in wonderful beauty.
And we fold our hands and rest,
Would His touch of my hand. His low
command,
Bring me unhoped-for zest?
Why do I ask and question ?
He is ever coming to me,
Morning, noon and evening,
If I have but eyes to see.
And the daily load grows lighter,
The daily cares grow sweet,
For the Master is near, the Master is
here,
I have only to sit at His feet.
The above beautiful line* have

M. Daviaon to be told, the pro
ceed* of which will go towards the
enlargement of the parsonage of
the First Methodist church. Eve
ry person in Athens should have
one. They are only 10 cents.
Mrs. Drvison is one of those no
ble women who devote* their lives
to the cause of their Maker, and
■hould be encouraged, for with
out them this earth wodld be
come a howling wilderneu, and
the church a thing of the past.
The Holy Bible
In the 40th chapter, 22d verse
of the book of Genesis it tells ns
how Pharaoh dealt just to his
ohief baker.
We believe he didn’t know his
business and was and old slop just
like some bakers are today. Yet,
so it happened right to him.
Nowaday* most baker* are bet
ter and don’t need to be banged.
Yet, there is a great difference be
tween baker* and takers.
The Boston Bakeev is a relia
ble bakery and give* all around
satisfaction.
Bread that you buy there is
naturally sweet, jutt like nut
eat.
Ghkei have made our bakery
famous, we make them large and
email in 60 varie*.
Our pie* are eaten on the best
table* in town. Thi* is tho truth.
It is easy for us to sell after we
ore given a trial. . Beeauae our
goods are what we claim them to
be.

Athin* is rarely a favored spot,

avail themselves of the many ad'
vantagas that ara offered.
For inatoAoe, the’Atbens Eleo-

psnaa, and with an abiding faith
in the future of Athene, have bar-

all the pow«r that we need.
The reoeot development* in

The Ohiimber of Commerce ie
composed largely of buaineee men,

well for them to look into and tell

In the course of hie sermon last
Sunday night Dr. Hopkins re
marked in subetanoe that a nan
might cloak his line under reli
gion, but sometimes when he
least expects it the mask will fall
off, and he seen in hie own true
light. This ie a fearful thing to
contemplate, but it ie neveathe-
lees, true. Dr. Hopkine sends
truths that burn home to un
suspecting listeners sometimes.
The terrible treatment of the
Jews in Romania is caueng the
whole Christian world to revolt at
the atrocities. It ie not Christians
that would do the deeds being
perpetrated upon the Jews. It ie
not like Christ, end the ministers
Drawing to a Close.
Next week the schools will
close. It hes been au unprece
dented good year for the schools
and an exceedingly large number
of scholars attended. The work
that the efficient teachers have
done will be lasting.
We have often said that tht
public schools of Athens were the
best in the land, and we reiterate
the assertion with emphasis. If
a child starts in at the bottom
by the time he paases the ninth
grade he is ready for business.
We congratulate the superinten
dent and the board and every
body upon their successful career
this year.
