Admires Pastor Russell’s Book.

Atlanta Constitution:—Bill Arp, the “Southern Philosopher,” wrote the following review of “The Divina Pian of the Ages” some time before he died: “It is impossible to read this book without loving the writer and pondering his wonderful solution of the great mysteries that have troubled us all our lives. There is hardly a family to be found that has not lost some loved one who died outside the chWch—outside the plan of salvation, and. if Calvinism be true, outside of all hope and inside of eternal torment and despair. We smother our feelings and turn away from the horrible picture. We dare not deny the faith of our fathers, and yet can it be possible that the good mother and the wandering child are forever separated?—forever and forever? “I believe it is the rigidity of these teachings that makes atheists and infidels and skeptics—makes Christians unhappy and brings their gray hairs down in sorrow to the grave—a lost child, a lost soul! • • ♦ “This wonderful book makes no assertions that, are not well sustained by the Scriptures. It is built up stone by stone, and upon every stone is the text, and it becomes a pyramid of God’s love, and mercy, and wisdom. “There is nothing in the Bible that the author denies or doubts, but there are many texts that he throws a flood of light upon that seems to remove from them the dark and gloomy meaning. I see that editors of leading journals and many orthodox ministers of different denominations have endorsed it and have confessed to this new’ and comforting light that has dawned upon the interpretation of God’s Book. Then let every man read and ponder and take comfort, for we are all prisoners of hope. This is an age of advanced thought, and more thinking is done than ever before—men dare to think now. Light—mpre light—is the watchword.” 355 pages—cloth bound, 35 cents, postpaid. Bible and Tract Society, 17 Hicks Street, Brooklyn, N. Y.

“THAT STRAIN AGAIN.”

SWEET is the voice that sings, and sweet the air, But only sweet to me because they bring Back perfectly to my remembering A tune as sad and passionate as prayer— A tune 1 heard when life and love weie fair; When all the strong, sweet perfumes of the spring Did so about my lady’s presence cling. They seemed her very loveliness to share. So when 1 hear this tune that other strain Revives within me. and I see again My lady's face; yea. then 1 do rejoice. Recalling half lost beauties of her voice: A little then the present oft 1 cast And walk 'mid lovely ruins of the past. —Philip Bourke Marston.

CHOOSING A BRAVE HUSBAND

Romantic Giri’s Method of Testing Her Lovers.

Marion Martin would marry none but a brave man. She had plenty of suit- • ors, but since there were no evidences of their courage she would not have any of them. Finally, fearing that she would die an old maid, she determined to accept John Knowlton, a fine look ing fellow, standing six feet two in his stockings, provided he would submit himself to a test. The next time John came begging her to marry him she told him that she would do so upon his giving practical evidence that he was no coward. He consented, and Marion told him to spend a night in the family vault in the cemetery. John did not feel' overpleased at being called upon to submit to such an ordeal, but he went with Marion to’the cemetery, which was near by, and she let him into the vault. Marion had no idea of leaving her lover to endure his watch unmolested. She had other lovers, who were to participate iu the trial of courage. Edward Larned, a chipper little fellow who was always spoiling for a fight, called on her by appointment as soon as she got home and was told to wind a.sheet about him and wall* all night back and forth past the family vault, groaning at intervals. If he held his ground till morning Marion would be his. Larned accepted the terms joyfully and. taking a sheet, went to the cemetery. He hail not been long gone when a third lover. Ernest Trevor, appeared at the Martin home. “What is it, Marion?” he asked. “I have called for you to give you an answer to what you said to tne on Christmas eve last.” “Well?” “I like you well enough to marry you if you will prove your courage. Go to our family vault In the cemetery. You will find it unlocked. Enter and remain there all night” “I will do no such thing.” “Are you afraid?” “No. There would be nothing for me to fear, but such an act would be senseless." “Very well; there are others whom I can marry who will not give such a weak excuse to conceal their real mo-tive-fear.” “You say that? By jingo. I will show you that 1 am not afraid to stay in your vault. But understand that I relinquish your hand.” Trevor went home for some blankets, thence to the cemetery, musing as he went: “What a silly girl! I thought she had more sense. Nevertheless, now I am in for it. 1 am rather pleased at the prospect of an adventure. Life is pretty (lull in this old town.” Before he reached the vault he espied a ghostly figure walking back and forth before it and heard groans. “What a little goose the girl is to put a man in a sheet to guard the place! Well. I’m in for it I must drive the fellow away or get laughed at in the morning.” Just as he was about to advance upon Larned the gate of the vault opened, and a -figure dashed out and away with the rapidity of lightning The ghost, after stopping to look at the flying figure, renewed its walk and its groans. “1 don't proftose to come out at the tail of this business,” Ernest said. “I’ve agreed to occupy the vault, and I can’t sleep with that fellow making those unearthly groans all night. El ther he or I must move on.” Larned suddenly received a blow in the back which landed him a dozen feet away on the gravel walk. Before he could get up he was knocked down again and again till finally, regaining his feet, he fled precipitately. “Now I think I will turn in.” said Ernest, and, going to the vault, he en tered and. spreading on the floor the blankets he had brought with him. sprawled himself on them and was soon sound asleep. Marion arose early and went to the cemetery. Her heart was beating very fast with expectation, and she was impatient to know whether the ripbwlfcl John Knowlton had proved himself a brave man. As she approached the vault and saw no one walking before it she knew that Larned at least had n->t won. Going nearer, she stopped and listened. There was the sound of a prodigious snore. Surely that came from the powerful lungs of Knowlton. Then she looked In between the bars, and there was Ernest stretched out fast asleep. The man who had won her bad relinquished her before doing so. “Ernest! Ernest! Ernest?’ she called, raising her voice with each call. Ernest awoke, yawned and saw the face peeping through the bars. “What do you mean by waking a fellow at this early hour? Go away.” And he turned over for another nap. “Come: wake up. I want to hear about—about the others.” “What others? I saw a ghost walking before this place when 1 came, and as I knew I couldn’t sleep for his groans I drove him away. I saw no one else except somebody who opened this door and dashed out” “ ' “Ernest,” she said after a pause, “did you really mean to give me up last night?” “Yes. How do I know but you would want me to come out here and sleep after we were married? I prefer a bed.” Marlon determined that she would marry Ernest Trevor willy nilly. and she did.

Caught by His White Hair

By MARTHA EVERSHAM

When I was a girl of seventeen I was far older than my years. Young fellows of my own age seemed to me what they really were—beardless boys. They were full of sports and nonsense, whereas I was philosophically inclined. I loved to talk with men who knew a great deal more than I did—men w’ho could talk learnedly oh a variety of subjects. Thus I /was thrown in with, those who were usually double my age. But my intimacy with such persons was entirely irh Actual. Nothing akin to love wai. " ited by any of them. • Indeed, of them had passed middle agi vul were incapable of sympathizing a girl in her teens. While it was true that I had intellectual cravings, it was also true that I was still a young girl. There were times when 1 wished for companionship with young persons. But 1 was rather inclined to be young with them than that they—l refer to the men—should be young with me. What I mean is that there, is a certain dignity In a young man that a girl looks for in one whom she would consider seriously as a possible life companion. When 1 was nineteen my father decided that I should finish my education by a trip abroad. We sailed one February morning for Naples, intending to work our way northward with the opening spring, spending the hot sum mbr mouths in Switzerland. On reaching Naples, when we were going ashore In the ship’s tender, I noticed a young man whose hair lin’d evidently turned prematurely gray. Never have I seen so striking a contrast between a young face and white hair. He appeared to be recovering from an illness. He sat opposite me in the boat, and for the life of me 1 could not keep my eyes off his contrasting features. He knew that I was looking at him. and this fixed his attention upon me. We drove from the custom house to the hotel, our party of three in an open cab loaded down with hand baggage. On, the way we passisl another cab containing the white haired young man. Again we exchanged glances as he drove by us, and when we brought up at the hotel (mtranee he was getting out of his cab to (mter the house. I confess I was secretly pleased that we would be at (lie same abiding place. That very evening an acquaintance of my father introduced Hie young man to us as George Caruthers, telling us that lie had been ill and was traveling for his health. The introducer would lie grateful for any attention wo might show Ids friend. Mother sympathized with Mr. Caruthers, a strainer in a strange land and not strong. Site made quite a pet of him. and before we left Naples, he having no deflnito plans, she invited him to travel with us.

A party traveling for pleasure becomes intimate at once. In these days of form the only way of making new old friends, if I may be allowed the expression, is travel In company wiih others. I was during a sojourn in the principal Italian cities from Naples to Milan and on the railways connecting them a constant companion of George Caruthers, it seemed to me that there was as great a contrast in ids disposition as there was In Ids outward features. He had the quiet dignity, the depth of understanding of a man ami the freshness of youth. These accorded admirably with his appearance. He had, too, a way of falling in with my moods. When I wished Idm serious lie was serious; when I preferred that he should be youthful he was youthful. These persons with young faces and white hair are very deceptive as to their age. I angled with Mr. Caruthers to draw from him his age. I elicited certain bits of information from him with the intention of putting them together and thus deducing how old he was. But he soon divined my intention and gave his answer in a way to defeat my purpose. Then he would laugh at me for my failure. We reached northern Italy in a cou-> pie of months, and by this time my newly made friend had quite recovered his strength. His complexion was naturally florid, and the contrast between his face and his,hair under his improved condition was the greater. He was always close shaven, but I could see that bls beard did not partake of the color of his hair. But even this was difficult to determine, for bis beard was evidently meager and of a light hue. It is well nigh impossible for a young man to travel in company with a young girl without an affair of the heart, and our case was no exception. George Caruthers proposed to me on Lake Leman just before we reached Geneva. In reply I told him that 1 had but one objection f& him that which was now an attraction would one day be a detriment. When he began to grow old be would look far older than he was on accpunt of his white hair. He took off his bat with one hand and with the other pulled off his scalp and an overlay of white hair, displaying a bead of short, thick blond hair beneath. “A wig!" I exclaimed. “A wig.’’ ho replied. “After leaving America, in consequence of fever, my hair began to come out. and before reaching Naples it was nearly all gone. The only wig I could get on the ship was this one. and since knowing you and being with you constantly 1 have not liked to change it.” Singular that 1 should have been caught by a wig. isn’t it?
