On Wednesday May 27, altout o'clock p. m. a terrible cyclone vioitwl Sl IxiuIs, carrying death anddestruc tloo in it* wake. It Is CKtlinated that alM)ut 'KK) |»eopIo were killed, and from l.lMito 1,1011 were more ur less injured M-riously In the two cities. The esti-mates as to the property losses are <iuite Indeiinlte, varylni; all the way from >2,000,000 to ir>0,QOO,OOil. the most probable amount being I2:.,00t),000. At lAfayette IVtrk, a beautiful and 'asiiionable section of the city, great damage was done, many houses being overturned and a muinber of chun'hes destroyed, among them iielng lAfay-ette Park Baptist Church. The other llapUctcharohea In the city, so tar as wo learned, have suffered no consider-able damage. This was the most dreadful calamity which has ever be* fallen any city in this country since the Johnstown disaster about eight years ago. Wo tender our sympaUiy to the good people of Bt. I^ouls In this disaster, and hope that they may soon recover from Ita effects.

On last Saturday It was proposed U> give a free dinner to the crowd who liad assembled to witness the corona-tion festivities in Moscow, Uussla. Preparations had bun made to feed •" 10,000 people, and that number of souvenir mtiga had been prepared for dlstrlbuUon antong them, l-^rly in the morning—between Ti and 0 o'clock it Is atated—an Immense crowd had already congregated near the place where the dinner was to be served. Some offlcers came by bringing tbeae mugs, and thinking to please the peo< pie thigr throw a few among tha crowd. The word was quickly passed along the line that the distribution ot prea-enu had begun, and InsUntly there was a rush for the Ubiet. It hap-pened that there were aone dltohea near the table*. Into these some of thoM In front atumbled and toll. The eroiM was so graat and tha prauuni bablnd ao OTanrbalniliiK that thOM

next to them could not stop, but tramp^ led upon their comrades, and them-selves fell to bo trampled to death also, ft Is estimated that the number of those killed in this way amounted to between 2,000 and 3,000 people, while the number of those Injured cannot be estimated. Most of those killed and injured were of the peasant class Among the dead, however, were found some ladies dressed In silk, showing that they belonged to the better class. The Ciar and C/.arlna expressed the greatest sympathy for those who had been Injured and tereaved in the ca-lamity.

The event of general interest in Nashville circles during the past week, and Indeed we may say in Ten-nessee circles, and even in Southern circles, was the celebration of the lOOth anniversary of the admission of Tennessee Into the Union as a State, which occurred June 1, 17»6. As Is well known, it Is Intended to celebrate this event by a grand exposition which was to have been held here this fall, but whicii has for practical n sons been postponetl until next year, It was decided, however, to inaugu rate the Centennial with appropriate exercises on June 1 and 2. On Mon-day, June I, there was a grand |>arado on the streets of Nashville, which was said to be about K miles long from one end to the other. It was estimated that tliere were about 10,000 people In line. There would probably have been a good many more but for the rain In the morning which delayed the parade considerably, and also dampened the enthusiasm of the day. The parade was an hour-and-a-half passing a given point. People came from all directions to witness It. ft was calculated that the number of vis Itors In the city on that day amounted to anywhere from .10,000 to .'>0,000. After the parade the Inaugural cere-monies were held at the Auditorium In the Genteniiial grounds. The chief ad-dress of the day was delivered by Hon. J. M. Dickinson, a fornier resi-dent of Nashville, now Assistant At-torney General of the United States. It was a magnificent oration. Follow-ing this the Oentonalal poem, for writ-ing which Mra. Virginia Frayser Boyle of Memphis had received the prite of #100, waa read by the lovely author In quite an Impressive manner. It waa a beautiful poem. We publish this week on our first page a poem on Tennessee by Dr. A. J. Holt. Next week we will publish the Gentannlal poem by Mrs Boyle. On Monday night there was a grand display ot flro' works on the imtunds, which was wlt-neaaed by an immense crowd ot apec-Utora. On Tuesday the exercises were continued by a military parade by the 3.A0U aoidfers encamp^ In the city, and by other esercisM at the frrounds. at which addresses wore de-Uvered by Bona. A. A. Taylor, K. Wi Carmaok and S. O. lleiskell. We have not tbo space now to discuss the century of TsnDOSsee's history Just past, except •Imply to say that It has . Msea a oobia history of which every Tsanasasaa should be proud. May tha nait ICQ yeara of her history ahow aa ciorloua a nword aa baa charao-tarlwd tha paat btiadrad.

BT aav. B. ALuiN Ttippaa, ja, o.d.

My articles from India have here-tofore treated ot special places and In-cidents ot Interest; but in this paper I shall transcribe from my note-book the impressions ot the codoitfy^ under the beading of "Indian Mosaics," and give your readers an "Instanta-neous photograph" of Indian life.

The country is Inhabited by peoples ot various colors, customs and lan-guages; although it is generally sup-posed that the diiferent tongues can be traced to the mother Sanskrit, and the peoples, U> a great extent, find a common origin in the Indo-Cauca-sian stock. The Bengalee, which is very much like the Sanskrit, is spoken in Bengal: the Orrla in the Orissa, the seat ot the celebrated Jugger-naut; the Tamul In Madras, by the Mohar-ashtros; and the Hindoosthanee, in its different forms, Is spoken in the north-western provinces.

The Brahmins in their religious services, and frequently in conversa-tion, use the Sanskrit, but the, other castes generally adopt the Bengalee. The Bengalees in bodily structure are delicate, and in disposition are mild and peaceable; on the other hand, the peoples of Upper India are brave, haughty and warlike, and phy-sically, they are robust and muscu-lar.

In the use ot tobacco these peoples are much more careful than more "civilized" nations. The tobacco leaves with other Ingredients are chopped up and put in the earth for sev-eral days; and the smoker does not draw tlie smoke directly into hia mouth, but it passes through a long pipe, comes into the bottom of the hooka, which is full of cold water, and making its way through another pipe, at last reaches the mouth.

The tarle or the juice ot the palm or date tree is used by the low-caste peo-ple generally. It can be easily press-ed from the stalks of the plant, and It quickly intoxicates.

I noticed that the Hindoos frequent-ly appealed to the heavenly bodies. On the temple walls you find the slgnt of the zodiac; and oti the motion ot the stars and the eclipses they base their propheoies ot good or evil. Three months in the year are regarded by the Hindoos as sacred, vii: Bols-ak (April) Kartic (October) and Magh (January). The first, commencing the New Year, is the holiest ot all. The stores and homes are fancitully deco-rated; the scales and weights are washed and worshiped; the first page of account books is ornamented at the top with two round figures mark-ed with red and yellow powders. Every day the book begins by a deposit of a •mall amount ot money to the credit ot a favorite deity, and when the year draws to a close e money la aoour* ately collected and used tor purpo^e^ ot worship. On New Year'a day (flrat of April) all orthodox Hindoos are expected to dedicate pitchers to the godi and deoaaaed anoeaton. At

2 BAPTIST AND REFLEOTOB, JUNE 4, 1896.

thc«e aro suppoied to be thirity at this taut loatoD, Mrthen, brazen or •liver pitobere (aocordlng to tbe olr-oumitonces of the dedicator) are placed In a row, with trays full of fruit on their topi. The flrit U offered to the irodi, tbe leoond to the gooroo or priest, tbe third to tbe father, If dead, tbe fourth to the grandfather, oto. Each day of this month Is mark* ed by some feast or ceremony, and full thirty days are spent In the most reckless forms of dissipation and idol-atrous superstition.

The visitor to India cannot well miss a marrlajro procession, for It is of daily occurrence in the largo cities, and as the whole affair is of the most fantastic character, accompanied by the most fearful strains of music, ho cannot but be attracted by it. In tho ranks are generally to be soon white horses, painted sky-blue or bright yellow: sacred bullocks, caparisoned in tho most brilliant style, drawing covered carts, with peep-holes, in which tho women of tbe harem ride; in tho midst of the crowd aro painted and powdered men, carrying banners, on which are ludicrous figures, and near the band Of musicians is seen the boy-bridegroom, perhaps consplcous-ly perched on an elephant, unaccom-panied by his bride, who does not ap-pear in public. This Is usually known as a marriage pro^sslon; but It is really a betrothal, for years may elapse before the youthful groom of 10 and the baby bride of six summers have any communication at all with each other, although nothing but death can Interrupt the union after the ceremony Is over.

The brilliant ornaments worn by girls and women in^jvvery part of In-dia attract more attention than ad-miration. This morning I took a mental photograph of a swarthy fe-male, flashing and tinkling with bang-les on her wrists, ankles, arms, ears and nose. The heavy rings dragged her cars quite out of sha{ie; her per-forate<i nostrils were ornamented with trinkets that extended nearly to her chin; her brown limbs and arms were decked with great rings of silver and gilt; and part of her bosom was tat-tooed with blue and red ink. She was a poor fruit seller in the market place, but her poverty could not gain the victory over her vanity, which, to somo extent, seems to to a trait of character among all nations and of both sexes.

There is a class of women, called Nautch Dancers, who are sometimes seen on the streets; but those w^ose performances are regarded as most artistic are monopolized by the ra-jahs and maharajahs, who allow them to dance In public, during royal re-ceptions and festivities. At the "au-dience" given by tho mabarajah at Jeypore US of these toe-artists enter-tained the ruler, about a thousand natives and a small party of Ameri-cans; and I suppose the ridiculous ahunilng gave a fair idea of the typi-cal oriental dance.

One who Is much more gifted In de-scribing a woman's attire than I, fur-nishes mo with the description of one of these professional and royal danu-ors, which I append. Thn loading dancer was dressed in a oloso-fltting garment with long iloeves and a very full aklrt much pleated In at the waist, made of tho finest •muslin of 'a light violet eolor trimmed nearly to the walit with rows of broad gold brocade laoe, ai also about her thoulderi and bust with the same. This drcii was confined lUchtly at tho walit by a soarf of bright groen muslin spotted with gold, whose ends of gold brocade fell on her left side and had the effect of railing the iklrt • little ao a i to ihow her trouieri of the richest cloUt of gold. With one end tucked Into her waistband, a iplendld Benarlei

•carf of filmy amber muilln gauze, profuioly flowered with gold, having borders and ends of tbe lame, passed over her left arm and bead and fell over her left shoulder. The gold or-nament! on her bead and anni were all handiome and in great profuilon, and her gold anklets, whoie tiny bolls Jingled as she moved, had a row of large brilliant stones on their bands which Hashed as she danced and gave, BO somo of the Americans thought, a charming effect to the tiny graceful feet on which they rested.

The members of the Society for tbe Prevention of Cruelty to Animals would enjoy a visit to the "Asylum for Aged and Decrepit Animals" at Dombay, where birds and beasu are as carefully nursed as aro human be-ings in well appointed hospitals. This establishment was founded by a wealthy native, and bore bullocks, cows, horses, dogs, oats and birds, otherwise homeless, find excellent care, food and shelter. These ani-mals aro never killed and It matters not how aged or badly Injured they are, an experlonoed doctor and<a nurse give them every attention until nature ends their lives. The kind considera-tion shown all animals through the Kast, especially In India, .is marked Indeed, and this fact accounts for tbe tamencss of these creatures on the streets of the large cities.

In a hotel at Aliahabod I made my toilet in the morning while two bright plumaged birds were hopping on tho floor, and on several occasions I have dined while rooks were perched in the open windows of the dining room looking at rae with their heads turned to one side, as If to say: "Hurry up there, my turn next."

If I were an American cat, rat or jaybird, and possessed my present knowledge of the world, I would bio to tho land of the Hindoo, and defend his religion with all my teeth and claws.

Bombay, India, March 7, 1800.

From China.

Perhaps tho readers of tho Baitist AND IlEfXECTOR would Ilko to know something about the Woman's Class which has just been held in our Mis-sion here in Canton.

First of all let me explain for tho boncflt of those who know no more about it than I did a month ago, that most of the workers here live In the two mission houses fronting on the river, which Is separated from our lawn only by a stone wall. Another wall Is built across the short distance between the two dwellings, cutting off a court at the rise of which stands tho girls' boarding school, connected with the other buildings by verandas.

Mrs. 9 ' ' tves hat charge of this school, which Is designed to furnish training for Christian men and wo-men. The instruction is chiefly in the Bible, though some other subjects are taught. There are at present 46 pupils and throe native teachers In the school.

It is perhaps difnoult for most peo-ple to understand the urgent necessity for such a school. IM us boar in mind the fact that those converts have known nothing but heathen tuperstl-tlon and bondage, and that though they have turned from idola to servo tho living Ood, they are still wofully ignorant and need to be taught like children. Most of them are notable to read aa U is not considered neooisa-ry in China for women to be educated. These oonditloni make U very Im-portant to have some system for in-structing the women more fully in the way of life. It ii impoMlblo for Uio small force of foreign workers (o give indlTlduai attention to all who need it. Indeed the^emotecountry stations can be visited only onoe or twice a

year by foreigners and there are thou-sands who have never even heard tho Gospel. If we can only make our na-tive Christians spiritual and intelli-gent they will have much influence with the heathen. Honoe there have been esUblisbed boarding schools for both sexes in which the effort ia made to give Christian culture In a Christ-ian atmosphere.

It Is often impossible for the mar-ried women to leave their homes and children to sUy for a few months In the school, so the plan has been adopt-ed of holding a ten-day's class during tho semi-annual vacation for the special beneflt of these women. They are allowed to bring their eblldron who aro too small to leave behind, hence tho attendance on tho class em-braoes a wide range of ages. Tliere were In all nearly 100 during the re-oent class, about 6() or 70 being wo-men. There were also a few heatheu relatives of Christians. I wish you could have been here to see the arri-val of some of the boats from tho country villages. I wont over to the school one evening after a number of new arrivals, and was almost deafen-ed by the hub-bub of crying babies, rattling tongues and clattering wood-en shoos. The women are very friend ly to the now "Koo-nenngs" (young ladles). When they found that I could attempt the ordinary salutations In Chinese, they overwhelmed me with a perfect volley of harsh sounds, which, however, meant tho kindest possible things.

Vou may judge that the ladles had their hands full during tho time these women wore here. Some would try to keep tho children quiet with the assis-tance of tho older school girls, while tlie others were teaching; thus, alter-nately, tho days were filled, with short Intervals for meals. The Chi-nese are a very patient race, and do not grow restless if the meetings are over an hour long, though It must bo admitted tliat the women do not take very kindly to the unwonted restraint of sitting still. All things considered, the order was remarkably good, and It was refreshing to see how eagerly many listened to the Instruction given day by day. The presence of the Spirit had been asked and received in faith by the workers. Surely only His quickening power would have en-abled their untutored minds to grasp the truth as we believe that they did, and only His Influence, in the flrst place, could thus have made them "hunger and thirst after righteous-ness." How blessed the promise thM such shall be filled.

Miss Whllden and Mrs. Greene took charge of the heathen women and those who could not read, giving them such Instructions aa they could in the Gospel and In reading. Mrs. Graves, Miss White and Miss McMInn each had dally classes, with a regular series of Bible studies, and there were, in addition, two prayer meotinga each day. One of them was conducted by the women, and the other it was my own prlTliege to Idad through an in> terpreter. Thus early I was permitted to do my first work among tho Chi-nese. ^ e women also attended one of Dr. Graves' ooursea of lectures delivered in the ohapel for a aimilar cla<i of men. You nay think that too much wa< crowded into these few days; but we must make tho most of these golden opportunities, and this was a time of seed sowing for tho fu-ture.

Will you not have a share in the har-vest? You may. The Holy Spirit haa prepared the toll and Implanted the precious grain of truth through those whoee Joy U la to be here in China. Will you permit Htm through you to "pour floodi upon the dry ground," flood! of interoeiilon, that God may

give the increase in abundant meaauru to the praise of His own glory.

l a m sure, also, that it is not too early to aak you to begin praying for the fall olaaa. We should feel greatly strengthened If we thought that you would remember it in all of the Wom-an's Meetings between thU time and September when it is to convene. Dear Christian friends, do you sufllci-ently appreciate the privilege and re-sponsibility of "helping together by prayer" In the rx>rd's workV Do yon realize the real power that your pray-ers may be in the lives of us, your ro|i-resentatives in these distant lands? I never before reallied the blessedDGSB of prayer as I have In these llrst months of separation from home and friends. I must ascrlbo much of the blessings that have come to mo to thu faithful prayers of the Lord's bellov-ing children.

Now we beseech you for the Lord .Tesus Christ's sake and for the love of the spirit that ye strive together in your prayers to God for us that wu may with you bo refreshed. The God of love be with you all.

BAPTIST AND BEFLEOTOB. JUNE 4, 1896.

A Typical Chrl i t lan Woman.

Tbo Mnnon delivered bjr Rev. J . D. I U « thorne, U. D., a t t b e F l r a t I lapUst Cburcb. Hay t l , before t h e youog Ittdtes of Beaeobel Col lece.

" T b l i woman w m fu l l of (ood workH and aliiisda«d«.>'-AeU ls :M.

This is a divinely inspired tribute to the character of Doreas, who aiwnt her life in ministering to the poor o( Joppa. In tho presence of those yount: women of Boscobel College 1 dotili-ti to emphasize somo practical trutlix suggested by the life and dcRtlny of this typical Christian woman.

Christianity is the only religion In this world which rccognlxes thu iicr-sonallty of woman. Kvery other re-ligion either merges her existence in-to that of the other sex, or treats her as one of man's many belongtni;i). Christianity recognizes every woman, whether married or single, as a dis-tinct personality, charged with tho re-sponsibility of thinking and actintr for herself.

In the kingdom of Christ, while wo-man's work is not always identical with man's, it Is equal to It in dignity and Importance. It is equal to it in tbe dinicultles, struggles, self-denials and sacrifices which are Incident to Ita faithful and successful prosecution. Equal In capacity, opportunities and responslbllittes, she can be equal to men in influence, usefulness and dis-tinction. In working out her destiny, woman, not less than man, needs an Ideal. In creating an ideal woman-hood she will flnd her beat help In tho careful and devout study of the noblo women of the Bible.

The distinguishing chiaracterlstic of the woman whose example we are to consider this evening, was an excep-tional benoTOIonoe. She was a Christ-ian, and a true Christian anywhon^ ia one In whom the love of others haa supplanted the love of eelf. The dom-inant feeling and tho chief motive pow-er of her life was a deep and abldlne affection for Ood and her fellow creatures. This benignant affection displayed itself in a career of benevo-lent activity. True love is sure to flnd some outlet. It cannot conceal iteelf. There is a life in the tiniest rosebud that cannot bo hidden and confined. It must sooner or later un-fold Itself, and by ita brightness, and beauty and fragrance, gladden every-thing about it.

Dotcas was "fall of good works." Divine lllis In the human soul manl-fesU itself in good deikls. M e r e words furnish an inadcquale exprsssion for

it. I see men and women about mo whose benevolent feelings evaporate In high-sounding declarations about Uie beauty of charity.' They can write thrilling descriptions of flreless, car-potleas and breadless hovels, of hag-gard mothers and sick children dying of neglect, but they aro never known to do one practical and sub-stantial thing for the relief of such want. The benevolonoo which stands before the door of a poor and sick noedle-woman who Is about to be turn-ed Into the street, and expends Itself in mere exclamations of pity. Is a sham. The benovoloncQ that looks out through tho stained glass of a mag-nificent mansion, and saysi " I wish Homebody would come along and help that poor boggar girl who Is crying and shivering at my door," Is a fraud which Christ will uncover and de-nounce in that day when Ho shall say to the wicked: " I was hungry, and ye gave me no meat; thirsty, and yo gave mo no drink; naked and ye cloth-cd mo not."

"A man of word* and not of deedi , la l ike a ga iden ful l of weedM "

There is, in somo of our palatial homes, an affectation of pity for tho human poverty and wretcbodneaa around us, Uiat provokes mo to Indig-nation. When a man worth a quar-ter of a million dollars stops me on the street to tell mo how his heart blod while I pictured tho destitution and desolation of a certain home, and then gives me STi cents for tho poor fund, I am tempted to smite him with the Indignant words of Simon Peter to Simon Magus—"Thy money perish with thee."

The prime element In the benevo-lence of Dorcas was personal work.

. Tbo women who came to her funoral showed "the garments which she bad made for tho poor with her own hands." That Is a very common and cheap type of charity which stops with giv-ing a little money to a oburob, or a benevolent society. Dorcas not only gave money, but wrought with her own flngors. Somo years ago, when an epidemic swept through a community of very poor people In Georgia, and an appeal was made for help, while many sont supplies of food, clothing and fuel, thero were Christian women of wealth and high social position who wont into many a hut and cleansed It, cooked nourishing meals for tbo sick, and performed all such duties as are usually assigned to hired nurses. That was true charity, a charity that not only gave relief to tbe body, but solid comfort to the mind and soul. It expelled every feeling of bitterness and resentment from the hearts of the poor. It removed their religious skepticism. It showed them that the love and humility taught In tbe gospel are not mere Ideals, but living reali-ties. If God gives you the opportuni-ty to go to tho bedside of your sick neighbor and comfort and cheer him with tho promise of the Gospel, pay-ing another person to do it will not re lieve you of the obligation.

Wo have Dorcas societies whose members boar bnt little resemblance to tho saintly woman who ministered to tho indigent widows of Joppa. They are living under the sad delusion that their obligations to the bonoflolarles of these societies end with tho paying of their socletv dues. I seriously doubt tho utility of any benevolent or ganlcatlon which exempta Ito members from individual efforU, and thereby deprives them of the blessing of per sonal contact with the people for whoso welfare It professes to exist.

We havo fallen upon a time in which it is easier to got money than to got workers for God's cause. Thousands of men and women who are generous in material oontributlons to the church will not put their hands, even for a aingls day, to the real work for which

Jesus Christ ostabllshed his church. The men have too much business and politics In their minds and upon their hands, and the women are too much absorbed lii the pursuit of social pleasures and dlstinotlons to give any serious thought to such duties as com-forting a sick neighbor, getting neg-lected children Into a Sunday-school, and persuading lost sinners to cast themselvM upon the mercy of God in Christ. Alas, what shadows they are and what shadows they pursue. When they stand at tho Judgement and look back, what laipentatlons they will utter over their stupendous folly.

While every Christian should con-nect himself with a local church, and with every useful organization within it, ho should be careful not to lose his Individuality. If In passing a neigh-bor's house I should see the beginning of a conflagration, and knew that by my own efforts I could extinguish tho flames and save the property, I would not go to an alarm box and call out the whole fire department. With my own hand I would stop tho mischief.

Whatever you can accomplish by your Individual effort should not be turned over to tho church. When you find a sick child whose mother needs a half dollar to buy medicine for It, do not let tbo poor creature wait and suffer until you can see tbe pastor, and the pastor can get a meeting of the deacons, and the deacons can get a hearing before the finance commit-tee, and the finance committee can re-fer tho subject to tbo church, with tho recommendation that the pastor preach a charity sermon and call upon the whole congregation to aid in raising the insignificant sum.' Take the money from your own purse. If It is not there, gut It from the man that is nearest to you. Find It somewhere, and in the shortest timo possible.

While you work in and through the church for the salvation of tho world, mark off a llttlo spot whore you may work alone, and In your own Individ-ual capacity. Select a few persons for whose conversion you will Im-portunately pray and persistently la-bor. Without such individual effort your growth in grace will be slow, and your usefulness to God and tbe world exceedingly limited.

When Dorcas died thero was great sorrow. It was a grief that extended far beyond the circle of her own house-hold and kindred. There was mourn-ing throughout the churish, and bitter lamentations among all the poor and neglected to whom she had dally min-istered "with her own hands."

But it was a blessed sorrow. It was such a lamentation over the dMd as I would like to have over my own body when my life work is done. They mourned because a great light had been extinguished—because a great guide, comforter and helper had been removed from their community and tho world.

I have seen tho most harrowing ex-hibitions of grief at tho grav6s of criminals, suicides, drunkards, infidels, and solfifh and worldly-minded church members. In such grief there Is no clement of comfort. It Is nothing but darkness and anguish. But tho peo-ple of Joppa mourned tho death of a benefactor, and their sadness was re-lieved by a thousand blissful memories of her beautiful life. Their tears ran over smiling faces—faces resplendent with the light of hope and Joy. They spoke of "hor good works and alms-doods." They even held up to public gate "the garments which her hands had wrought for tho poor."

Ood grant me a life of useful toll. While I live may these bands be help-ful hands, so that whon they are fold-ed for the sleep of death, I may have the tribute of grateful tears. Peace-ful and happy will be my departure from this world, If I die with the as-

surance tiiat the people among whom I have lived will esteem me worthy of this brief and modest epitaph—"He helped us."

Young ladles of Boscobel College, pi^pare yourselves to bo helpers Of your raoo. Amid tho tolls of tho school-room let It be your fixed and unconquerable purpose to make some real and enduring contribution to the world's welfare. Seek intellect-ual culture only as an equipment for serving your day and generation. Do this, and you will go out of life laden with the benedietlons of grateful hearts and meet a royal welcome to the skies.

Tho most slgniflcant fact In the his-tory of Dorcas Is that she was raised from tho dead. Peter looked upon tho pulseless form and In the name of Jesus Christ said to her, "Arise." And inuned lately tbo spirit came back to its earthly tenement. Thus she was restored to her friends and to tho la-bors from which death had removed her. I say again, that this was the most significant part of hor history. Tho resurrection of Jesus was God's endorsement of his mission and char-actor. The resuri^tlon of Dorcas was the fixing of tbo divine Imprimatur upon tbe type of womanhood which she had so grandly Illustrated. If she had been like! the average woman who figures in the society column of tho daily newspaper—a mere pageant In the world of fashionable pleasure and folly—would Peter have raised her from tho dead? I think not. If she had spent her life in travel and sight-seeing merely for personal gratifica-tion, would Peter have called her back into the world? I think not. If she had been a church member whose life was unmarked by deeds of love and righteousness, would ho have quick-ened hor dead body? No. If she had borne any likeness to some of her lat-ter-day sisters who clamor for tbo right to bo voters, political stump-speakers, congressmen, and wearers of men's clothes, would Peter have started her pulse and. loosed her tongue again? No. Ho would have said to those In charge of her mortal remains: "Remove her quickly to tho city of tho dead; bury her deep; let her tomb be hermetically sealed; raise not a stone and carve not a line to commemorate tho fact that she ever lived In the world; let her name perish from tho memory of man." Peter called her back to life because ho wanted tho world to know the typo of womanhood which God delights to honor.

In this historic scene It seems to me that we have a suggestion as to how the power of men and women who lived unselfishly and wisely may bo perpetuated on the earth. Josus said of the woman who anointed him with the costly oil in anticipation of bis death and burial, that she should nev-er be forgotten. ' ' Wherever this gos-pel shall be preached, this that sho has done shall bo Spoken of as a moiqorlal of hor." That was a com-mand as well aa a prophecy. Every minister of Jesus Christ Is divinely commissioned to tell what that woman did to honor her Lord and Redeemer, and through tho agency of the living ministry hor name and influence will bo perpetuated to tho last syllable of record^ time.

"This that she has done shall bo spoken of." It is God's will that men and women who live nobly shall bo "spoken of ." In this way he gives them earthly immortality. Whon a good man Is forgotten, or only dimly remembored, and you again publish to tho world the record of what he was and %hat ho did, you call him Into life again and make him once more a real power in tho world.

What a renewal of the life of Wil-liam Carey was witnessed in the re-

cent "Centennial of tho Beginning of Modern Miaalons." From 10,000 pul-pits earnest men told In burning words of what that hero did and suffered to lift tho Christian world to his concep-tion of what tho church could do, and ought to do, for tbo benighted and perishing pagans. While they spoke of these things tho spirit of Carey seemed to come back and walk tbe earth and stir tbo hearts of men.

During tbe last half-csntury but lit-tle has been said of tho old Bedford Baptist who went to Jail because ho would not submit to govermental In-terference with his performance of tbe functions of tbe Christian ministry. But now that men aro banding togeth-er all over tbla country In socrot oath-bound organ izatlona to de-oltizenize people for their religious faith and practices, tho pulpit and tho press will everywhere revive tho memories of that dauntless martyr, and the power of John Bunyan's name and example will bo invoked by every true lover of religious freedom. The dead hero-will live again, not In tho fleab, but in the memories and hearts of a llberty-lov-

' Ing people. Many years have passed since tho

grave closed over the mortal form of Florence Nightingale, but wherever tho pibilanthroplst stands pleading for tho sick and tbe wounded and dying, he finds that a reference to the heroic deeds of that noble woman evokes an instant response.

Such an immortality of influence ia possible to all of us. The power of tbo selfish and time-serving shall rot with their mortal bodies, but the self-denying life of the righteous man or woman shall be reproduced in tho lives of others to the very latest gen-eration. To enrich the present, and leave a heritage of wisdom and good-ness to those who shall come after us, is to realize the subllmest possibility of human existence.

Young ladles of the graduating class I I suppose that you cherish a very aincero affection for your alma mater, and that you will go forth in your life work with tho determination to reflect credit upon her. If you aro loyal to the spirit which has so far characterized this noble institution, you will cultivate every Christian vir-tue, and consecrate all your intellect-ual culture to the promotion of Chris-tian progress.

To accomplish these ends you must act In harmony with the constitution of your own being, and be submissive to the will of Ood as revealed in the sacred Scriptures. You must never be unmindful of tho fact that the di-vine architect of your being has mado you to differ from your brother man. "Male and female, created he them." Any attempt to Ignore these God-mado distinctions will degrade you, and de-prive you of tho queenly power which it Is your nature to wield. WUh all tho intensity of your nature repudiate and abhor that modern monstrosity known as tho "new woman." To fol-low hor Is virtually to unsex your-selves and to forfeit the respoct and honor which true manhood Is ever ready to bestow upon every womanly woman. Woman, exalted by culturo of mind and heart to hor true position and bstate. Is man's angol, a way-sldo sacramont, a handwriting of Ood, a window opening toward a world of cherubim. But woman out of hor nor-mal sphere, at war with Ood's order, and thrust into all manner of unnatur-al and vulgar competitions with men, is nothing less than a hideous mon-ster. My heart's desire and prayer to Ood Is, that you may never renounce the wisdom of Jesus Christ or accept tho fanatical folly of Cady BUnton.

Toll your friends about Dr. Hen- ' son's sermons. Tbe series will prove extremely interesting.

BAPTIST AND BBFLEGTOB, JUNE 4. 1896.

Commenoement of Canon and New-man College.

It It all over DOW and lilco the count-less multitudes of things thrlllinif and otherwise takes its place with the events of past etornlty.

The audiences were large and ap-preciative. Wo noted some very dis-tinguished characters among the vis-itors, but must forbear bringing thoin into further prominonoe.

As a whole, the cxercisea were su-perior and inferior to former ones-just owing to your point of view. The

'candid critic must say thoro is an up and down grade in the ongoing of Carson and Newman, but this is a natural necessity. In climbing a moun-tain we do not always go up literally, and yet we are goine higher. Wo are proud of the up-going to higher things.

The verdict is unanimous, we believe, that as a profound, and at the same time simple exposition of Gospel truth, Dr. P. S. Henson's sermon takes the tirst place among all the magnitlecnt and popular addresseu of the kind ever delivered ixsfore an t^ast Tennessee audience. We pity in our hearts any man, woman or child in these parts who could have done so but did not hoar that masterly sermon. He began with us at the base of the Alps of truth and took us up, up, up, until wo stood amid the flashing glories of the very summits. We congratulate ourselves a thousand times for such an opportu-nity. It comes once in a life time; to some not that often. We had thought seriously of trying to give an outline of his sermon, but are afraid of be-littling the man, and doing great in-justice to a masterpiece which must be heard or repeated in full to be at all appreciated as it should. So the readers of the BAITIST AND RE*'LEC-TOR will more and more take intei-est in our work if only once a year they will come and hear. Theonegreat ques-tion with the faculty is. Where can we And a man for next year? Who will approximate the effort this yearV There are many preachers, but few all-round men like P. S. Henson. His text was 2 Tim. 111:16-17.

The literary address was delivered by the same inimitable speaker. The many say bis address on "Gunnery" surpassed his sermoiK We are slow to take issue, and we take off our hat. "Gunnery" 1. The material. 2. The ammunition. 3. The aim. Here again we are an oyster. Wo were all eyes and ears. For solidar-ity of thought, for beauty and terse-ness of diction, for the purposes of edifying, inspiring, for entertaining and lifting you away up out of your little sleep and putting you among the sublime possibilities and actualities of this life, and the future life that address compared with any we have ever hoard before, and we have heard not a few. Dr. B. J. Wlllingham's address be-fore the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. was enjoyed very much. Theme "The Call to the Ages."

There were only 16 graduates this year. Some of them are already fine scholars, and we do not fear any backward steps. Mr. Gass remains with ui. He is a model young gentle* man, a Christian and a scholar. Ho has already made hia mark as a tutor, and we predict for him a brilliant future. He takes the ohair of English. Mr. Stephens, perhaps the most love-able and popular student of the ool< lege, goes to Murfreesboro to revive the fallen fortunes of Union Universi-ty. Wo are not advised as to the oth-ers, but—

Wher'er they be, ^ land or sea, With them always goi Our sympathy and love.

We are better equipped, better or-ganlied, than ever before. More t o ^ -en, more oanraiilnff, more (ridlB,

Fort Smith Items.

You were kind enough to note my prosuDCo at the Southern Baptist Con-vention, and refer to my flold work. 1 did onjoy the Convention greatly, and that pleasure was greatly height-ened by moetlnK so many of my friends, both In and out of tlio ministry. Auii if Virtrinians are approved fur cling-ing to tho old "Mother of SUtos" a Tonnossean may bo pardoned if ho cherisbos his native Stato fondly. In-deed, Tonnossco Is making gratifying progross in Baptist affairs, honco 1 had double pleasure In mooting my Tennessee friends. Surely no one had more delightful untortulnment than Bro. and Sister I. B. Merriam sup-plied to tholr guests.

As to my own particular work, lot me say that Fort Smith Is a thriving littlo city of 10,000, and growing in many ways. It Is fast becoming a railroad center. It has manufac-turing esUbllshmcnts. It did .'i.MO,-000 worth of wholesale business last year. Its potato crop was tho l a r ^ t of almost any single point, 740 car loads, and we are accond In time in all tho South and West. This section of the country always takes tho premium In fruit, whenever enlured.

Our church, tho First Baptist, num-bers 400memb«>rs. They supplied mo a seat in the Convention on their own contributions and paid the expenses of the trip. They keep one of our young men In college, who Is studying for the ministry. I mention theso items to show that I have great reason to bo satisfied with my work. We are just now moving to build a now house of worship. I aiu very much docvlved If Fort Smith is not soon to become tho center from which comparisons will be made with Kansas City, St. Louis, Memphis, Now Orleans, Dallas, and Fort Worth.

We have an endowed public scrhool system here which insures for alt time lino educational facilities. It is al-ready an educational center of no mtan Importance. The right kind of a Baptist, with enterprise and money, could tind as good an opening here as be could ask. I could write a long chapter, but this will let my friends know where ray lines have fallen.

iiOt me say that when I went to se-lect the papers from which to take the reports of the Convention, from a list of 10 I found I had narrowed down to two, nf which the BAPTIST AND UBTLECTOK WAS ono.

Golden Anniversary.

The First Baptist Church of Mem-phis on last Sunday celebrated ItaTiOth anniversary. The church was repaint-ed and elaborately deeurat^, and a large chorus ohoir, directed by Mr. Bateman, rendered, it U said, the best musio ever heard in tho ehuroh.

The Sunday-school exercises were of the nature of an experience meeting. Superintendent McVeigh graoefuliy handed hU seepter (or the day to Bro. R. G. Craig, the veteran Sunday-school worker.

The house was crowded to over-flowing by 11 o'clock. Bro. R. A. Venable notifying us at the last hour of the providential hindrance to lilt ooming, Bro. Q. A. Ijofton proved an able lubetltnte. After Deacon A. Hatohett'a well-written and well-read hlitorjr of the ehuroh, Or. Lofton

preuchod an oxoeedingly appropriate sermon from the text, "What I have written, I have written."

A mass mooting was held in tho afternoon. Brethren I^fton, Quison-berry nnd Anderson taking part. The main feature of this service was the application for a number of letters for the purpose of organising a church next Sunday in Northeast Memphis. Hudy Mission will then be a thing of tlie past.

Tho Itirgo congregation was disap-poincd at night whon it was announced that Bro. Wlllingham, who was to prcach, left the morning service with a high fever, and was conlinod to his bed. But our resources were well nigh Inexhaustible as long as wo had Bro. Lofton, who proachod. a clusslcal and scholarly sermon on "Christ, tho Perfect Model."

The pastor then called upon his people to build a suitable monument to cummcmorate the day. He asked thuin to contribute means to secure a •5,000 parsonage. For a moath ho bad been busy soliciting subscriptions until the amount reached )»3,000. So it took only ton minutes to secure about 13,500. Then Ucacon Craig an-nouni-cd, to tho joy of all, that the •1,000 left by our lamented Bro. Bruco would be added to tho amount, makinfr it W,.'.00. Wo have to raise the balance In two weeks.

Iteproscnting Secretary Wlllingham, the pastor asked the church to have two preachers, one here and ono in China, tho lattur costing I.5U0. It WAS agreed by a rising vote to make the attempt. Bro. W. T. Hudson pro-nounce«l tho benediction.

Thus ended the golden anniversary of tho First Baptist Church, a day long to lie remembered. '1'.

Whon we roach the golden gate. Oh I tho music that will greet us

Florida Notes.

I have mado one entry to the credit of your liberal pledge made at Pon-sacola, to our work in the State of Florida, and will add another name to your subscription list. I would re-joice to send you a number of names, for I wish many of tho brethren and sisters in Florida might read your ex-cellent paper, and thctse sermons of Dr. Henson's. I think I will bo able to send you a few more names, though our brethren are rather depress^. The long dry spoil is cutting off the crops severely, so that they will be short, oven should rains oome regular-ly from now on.

I was not strong enough to go to Chattanooga, but how I did enjoy reading the account of It as it was given In tho Tima. I take It to be a conservative statement, beyond all question true, that so full, so exten-sive a ruport has never been given of any reli^oui gathering In this coun-try. Chattanooga and the Tiim have eclipsed everytliing so far In report-ing, and I love to tbiok that this was done In Tennessee.

For the Information of my friends In Nashville and contiguous oountry, let mo say that I am able to work some yet, and am leading our people—a loadable, lovable people—In the mis-sion work, but am weak, and have to be very oaraful to keep up. The 13th Annual Commenoement of Stetson UnWersUy at Do Land closed Tues-day, May 19. The sermon was preaoh*

od by Prof. C. 8. Farrlss. The liter-ary address was lieilvered by Kev. J. J. Parsons, the new pastor at Jacksonville, and both the sermon and address were good. Thoro wore 12 graduates in tho academic department and one in the college, and tho grad-uates ao<|uitted themselves grandly. Two of tlio young nion are minUterial studente. W. N. CIIAUIIOIN.

Brownsville Notes.

In last weeks' BAIITIST AND UK-FUKxTOK the type-setter mado mo say that my church had given mo two montlis' vacation whon It should have been one month. Again, It is Bro. Geren, and not Croon, who is supply-ing my pulpit.

I am enjoying a most delightful rest with my wife's relatives and other friends in tho classic yot hospitable ilttleclty of Brownsville. lamgreuUMl on every hand by an old-time Southern welcomc.

Tho commencement oxorclsos of ihu Brownsville Female College are up to their usual high standard. On yester-day Dr. T. S. PotU, of Memphis, proached a very practical and highly entertaining sermon. Tomorrow wo shall bo favored with a literary ad-dross by tho gifted Dr. Simmons of Jackson.

President C. A. Folk Is proving to be the right man in tho right plaeo. He is constantly making now friends and growing in the estimation of the entire coniinimlty and public generally. My wife and I, together with Dr. PoUs, had the pleasure of dining at the col-lego yesterday, and right royally were wo entertained by President Folk and his cultured wife. It was espei-iall.v doilgbtfui to spend a few hours social-ly with President Folk and Prof. W. H. Harrison, l>otl» of whom were in school with mo at Richmond CoUegp.. Professor Harrison will bo associaUxl with his father next year in conducting the Rothoi Female College at Hopkinit-ville, Ky. I bnspoak for him and for all of tho dear "old boys" great urn--cess and happiness.

I go to Itipipy the last of this week where I shall spend some time visiting my old friends.

In answer to a call made at lan-cing and Erin the council met on April .'(0 to consider tho question of organizing a Baptist church. The council consisted of the following named brethren: Rev. R. J . (iorbet, joint missionary of Sute Board and Big Emory Association; Rev. W. J. Osborn of '/Aon Chapel, and brethren Summers, Bradshaw and Jones of Union; Llewellyn, Pater and Froytag Northbury. Letters of dismissal from Northbury Chun.rh were read for va-rious brethren and sisters, eight In all. The letters were received and

church organized to be known as the First Baptist Church of Lancing. The hand of Christian fellowship was extended to the liew members and to one another and the meeting adjourn ed after prayer by Rev. R. J. Gorbet

Sunday, May 3, was a great day for tho congregation at ZIon Church, Car-ter county. Their house of worship was destroyed by (ire about 10 years ago. Something over a year ago they commenced building a new house. After many struggles the house has been completed and was on the day named formally dedicated, entirely free from debt The sermon was preached by that old gospel veteran, D. Kitzmlller. The prayer was de-livered by Rev. W. H. Hicks. After the morning service dinner was served on the grounds to a very large crowd. At 2 o'clock in the afternoon Rev. G. H. Burnham preached an eloquent and Instructive sermon. This closed a day that was pleasant and profitable to us all. I have Just returned from Holly Sprini^ College, Johnson coun-ty, where I had the honor of preaching the liaccalureate sermon. The gradu-ating class consisted of three young ladles and two young men, one of whom was Rev. E. H. Hicks, already well and favorably known through the columns of the BAPTIST AND RE-FLECTOR as an evangelist and pastor. Bro. Hicks is a young man of great promise. This Is not a Baptist Insti-tution, but being situated in a strong Baptist community Is doing a grand work for our cause.

l^st month I suppllci 3U homos with God's word. If those who have it in their power to furnish every family in Tennessee with God's word could only realize the great joy even a five-cent Testament brings to a whole family, tho Sunday-school and Colportage Board would receive enough money to put a colpoker in every county. Last May I gave one five-cent Testa-ment to a woman who, aiUiough she was a Christian, had lost almost all of the joy of a Christian life. Tho husband read it through and joined the church. The wife is rejoicing in the love of God. Together with their children theirs is now a happy home. I have boon In the Duck River Asso-ciation for 23 months. During that time I havo supplied nearly 000 hontes with God's word. I hope to soo tho day when not one of the 20,000 families In Uils Ass elation will be without a copy of the Bible or New Testament

I have recently held a meeting at Maysvliie. Ky., with Bro. Trotter, for-merly of Brownsville, Tenn. We had a very gracious meeting both In In-terest and additions, and by common consent the best revival that the church had experienced fOr several years. In fact, with such a pastor and such a brotherhood, God willing, It would be hard not to have a good meeting. Let me say, too, that It Is a real pleasure to be associated In a meeting with such a thorough gentleman and consecrated Christian. It w}ll be of Interest to his Tennessee brethren-to know that Bro. Trotter Is doing a great work In his new field and is much beloved by his people. His church will comfortably seat a thousand people and his con-gregations are the best io the city. We predict for Um a bright and bless-ed future. In addition to my work here, I have also accepted the caro of thoLaGrange Churoh,to which I preaoh every Sabbath. Havo held two meet-ings In this church in the last two years. In which we received 120 mem-bers. We have decidedly tho prettiest church building In tho State, though it cost but ^,000,00 to build I t As I am trying to do the work of two men, tiio present arrangement Is not perma-nent By the way.

The leaflot, "Superstitions of l?o-manltui," by D. A. Wilson, publish-ed by Maryland Mission Roams, says of Catholic countries:

"The Bible is rigorously icept from tho 'people, and if\ perchance they have in their possession an annotat-ed copy of an unfaithful version, as all Catholic versions arc, they arc in-dustriously taugrht that thoy cannot and should not attempt to understand it, except as it is interpreted by the priests. Tho result is that tho plain-est dcciaratiun of Iloly Scripturo weighs nothing acainst the ipso dixit of the father conf<ijor. The way is now paved for the grossest, most shameless perversions of Scripture, in every way."

Then follow specimen explanations of Bible passages, such as:

"Anciently there were in Judea cities of refugo, where culprlu fled and found safety from tho punish-ments thoy deserved. At present there are not many cities of refuge, but only one, which is Mary, of whom it was said, 'Glorious things arc spoken of thee, Oh City of God.' {Psalms Ixxx-vii:.T")

The Catholic theologian hero quoted also asserts that Mary says:

" I love them that lovo me, and they that seek mc early shall find mo." (Prov. viil:I8.)

N'o wonder these blind loaders seek to keep the pure light of God's Word from their followers. The priests fre-quently destroy Bibles, and warn against buying auch a "dangerous" book, "of more damage than utility," declaring that God nevor intended the Scriptures to bo road by tho people. So great is tho influonco of this toaeh-ing, than when errors of doctrino are called to the attention of even Intelli-gent minds, the perplexed admission will bo made: "Tho Book says one thing, but the ohuroh says aoolhor; and what tho ohurch saya Is truej to doubt It would be mortal iln, I will not doubt tho church, I had rather doubt my own understanding.

"OhrlsUanlty U tho only religion which reoognlces woman's separate personality and Individual responsi-bility; which does not merge her ex-Ist^oe, married or single, unto that

of man. It Is God's order that tho two stand distinct and equal boforo Him—"male and female created He them." Commencement sermon before Bosoobol College.

It is with sincere satisfaction that we nolo tho election of Mrs. (i. W. Nelson, of ChatUnooga, us vice-president for Tennessee of the Wo-man's Missionary Union, auxiliary to Uie Southern Baptist Convention. No ono is better fitted than this beloved sistor to represent the women of our Stato in the gent ral organisation. For years she has boon a steadfast. Intelli-gent eo-worker with tho Central Com-mittee, aiding to circulate information and to stimulato missionary interest Would that we might lind a hel|>er as faithful in every District Association! It would not then be as colossal a problem- how to reach Tennessee's 70,000 Baptist women.

S. K. S. S. The Light of Life.

in his book God shines as tho light of life, making it a lamp to our feet and a light to our path. Wherever this word goes, throughout the world, rlirhtcousncss and truth spring up like trees of God along tho borders of the living stream. Whoever follows the instructions of this word is wise with tho wisdom which kings and prophets, sages and seers, could not elsewhere attain. In tho chastening of tho spirit, the Hubduing of the body, the enlight-ening of tho understanding, the puri-fying of the afTections, tho ennobling of every relation in life; in the guid-ance of youth, the support of man-hood, and the comfort of old age; in tho proper ordering of domestic life, in the institution of those social re-lations which lie at tho baso of all society, and in all tho vast and varied concerns of human existence, this word is tho only safe guide, the only infal-lible source of information and direc-tion.—/>r.

Honey for Missions. A J HOLT, coil. STC'R

How many people seeing tho head-ing to this article will turn from it? I venture to predict that those who do will bo those who need most of all to road It and to heed it. Some may bo reasy to ask when wo are ready to lot up on this subject. I an-swer frankly, If I may assume to speak for all who are Interested In this subject, never till tho millennium. So long as a single soul is perishing out of Christ, just so long U Is the Im-perative duty of Christian people to send that soul tho Gospel.

We have a largo force of mission* ariss In foreign lands and on homo fields and in our own Sute , who aro all laboring every hour of every day for the spread of the Gospel and the salvation of souls. They must needs bo fed. "Give ye thonr to oat ." It should be a pleasure to those who are enjoying the comforts, and lometimos the luxuries of their elegant homos, to divide a little with those noble ser-vants of God who are out bearing tho heat and burden of tho day for tho Savior 's sake.

We have been giving Homo and Foreign Missions right of way dur-ing April and May. Wo did right well, tho secretraies tell ui. But let us not relax our elTorto. Let ui be-gin now to lav our plans for the year before UI so that we may go yet be-yond the amounU we raised the past conventional year. But meantime please bear In mind that State Mis* rioni stopped aside to bring up our oontrlbuklons to tho Boards ot tho Southern Baptist Ckinvontlon and now Stato Missions sUnds before you ask-ing to be rtmetaberad.

Some fttots ought to bo known about Stato Missions In Tennessee. While wo are out of debt, and that through no diminution of our laborers or la-bor, yet wo are steadily receiving for State Missions loss and loss.

This must stop. Wo cannot afford to cripple State Missions. This work llok at tho very foundation of all our work. Because tho oorros|)ondlng secretary has iKwn urging general contributions, lot no ono rob Stato Missions to make tho (contribution general. It appears that some who gave State missions uO conts a month before the present pilans wero inaugu-rated, uro now dividing this same AO cents among all tho objects of our work. This should not'bo done. No ouo should rob Stato Missions to pay anything, for tho* appropriations of the Stato Mission Board wero mudo under the idea that so much had boon given to State Missions and would bo given again.

I»t us increase our contributions, and seek also to incrcuso tho number of contributors.

The Stato Board has demonstrated her ability to iiianago her moans wisely and well. We challenge comparison with any similar work anywhere. If you want more work of us, give us more means. An increase of contri-butions would not mean an increase of cx|)cnses. Tho expenses will re-main tho same, save only in tho amount of postage for ncolpts if the present amount given to State Mis-sions wore doubled.

Tho Stato Board paid for missiona-ries up in full last pay day and then owed not a cent of debt. But every day since then we have contracted a debt of a day's work to each m'ssiona-r j .

Brother, will you please to lay this matter to heart. Will you please to place it before your church. I.«t us all join In ono hearty and unanimous effort to induce all our member's every member of each church, to contribute every week or every month to our missionary work!

Groat needs aro u|ion us. Foreign Missions reaches all over tho earth, Home Missions In our own Southland and Cuba, Stato Missions all over Tennessee. Then tho Sunday-school and Colportitge work, tho Orphanage, and Minlstorlal Education must be looked after. "How much owost thou my l ^ r d ? " "Lot us go up and pos-sess tho land for wo aro abundantly able."

Reflections From Brazil. It is now nearly CO years that tho

gospel Is proaohod In Brazil, and what are the resultsV It will soon bo 15 years that the Baptista began prcach-Ing tho whole gospel to lost Brazilians, and what has become of It?

Let us look for a moment^ It is larger Uinn the whole United Statos, excluding Alaska; It ooouples nearly half the area of South Amerloa; has 10,000,000 people, and there is not more than one missionary on an aver-ago to every 138,000 souls. Of its 1(1,000,000 souls, a t least 14,000,000 aro still unevangollzed. Several societies have been and aro still a t work In Brazil. Let all due hoqor be given to the American Presbyterians, Amerloaa

Mothodlsts, and lately Amorlcan Episcopalians. But imagine out of the 205 missionary societies a t work In the world, only 10 are attomptini( anything In South America—only six In Brazil, If you include tho two Blblo Societies.

And how do they attempt doing it? The Presbyterians havo about 10 missionary couple; the Mothodlsts, about 2b; the Episcopalians, three couple, und tho Soutliern Baptist Con-vention, six missionary couples. Al-togothor about 44 missiimary couples to 10,000,000 people who know not thu message of love.

I road In tho last "Amorlcan Year Book" that In tho United Statos and its territories thcro aro 27,001 ordained ministers to a membership of 3,0;i7,42l. That moans one ordalnod minister tu every 135 members. I copy the follow-ing paragraph from a book entitled, "South America,, tho Neglected Con-tinent:"

"Were tho pooplo to bo roauhed o<iually divided among tho proachoPH, every minister in Groat Britain and tho United States would havo a parish of 800; In Madagascar, of 30,700; Bnr-mah, of*tl,000; while in South Amerka he would bo responsible for no IOHH than 02,000 souls," and hero In Hra-7.11 for no loss than 360,000 souls.

Is it a wonder that so llttlo Is occoiu-pllshed? Take a map of Brazil and make 60 whito spots about the COABI.

tho rest paint black, and you will havo a faint idea of tho present spiritual sUto of this groat republic with iu 1(1,000,000 souls.

Brethren at homo aro roady to oritl-ciso tho Boards and the mIssionarlcH, but aro slow In rocognlsing that tho fault is not with tho Boards and the missionaries, but with the brethren themselves, who do not soom to realize tho tact stated in tho Word of God. "Whoever shall call upon tho l.ora shall be saved." How then shall they call on Him in whom they bare not boliovedV How shall they believo In Him of whom they have not heard' and how shall thoy hear without a preacher? and how shall thoy pruach except thoy bo sent. Is it possible to expect tho conversion of IU,0U(l,0(Ki souls by the preaching of half-a-do/.un couples of foreign missionaries?

And yet much has boon accomplish-ed. Pxalse tho Lord! I n s p l t o o f o u r weak force; In spite of tho many oli-staclos; In splto of tho laek ef means, much, very much has been done, enough to encourage us and make UH suro that wo aro doing tho Lord's work.

Lot us look at what tho BaptistH havo acoompllshed slnoo 2881 when Bro. Bagby-arrived In Bahla without a single man to stand by him. Today you will lInd a strong church at Per: nambuco, the capital of tho Stato of the same name, with a membership of nearly 100 members, most of them con-verts from Rome.

All over the Btato you will find men and women who know Jesus and his love, oome to this knowledge through the Baptist MisHlon.

In tho capital we own a fine bujldlng and an Important press for publica-tion, as well as a stack of good litera-ture, tho Influence of which will yet speak high. Further South, In the heart of Brazil, In tho federal csj)ltal, illo do Janeiro, you will find a fino, new building the Baptist house of prayer, whore the Church of Christ inetitd. This church counts about 16 Mcnilwrs.

I'uihor In the Interior, Is tho rich StaU) of Minas, you will llnd a strong liulo church In Juir de Fora, amount-InK U) about 26 members; but though a llttlo tlock, yet each one Is worth 10. And then coming this way you will lind in Campos, a ohurch with 110 members; a good religious pross and paper: a lino plot for building a churih worth over IIOOO and a good, |iroi)|»crous, dally school. Near by Campos, you will find San Fldelis, with a very prosperous ohuroh and school. A llttlo further still you will llnd another two little churches, or-(ranlzud on farms but with faithful luvers of Jesus and His cause.

Our force Is weak; our means aro hcarce, our men few, but we havo done what wo could, though much that uuKht to bo done, has boon loft un-done. However, our oportunlties aro (•••cat. Doors are open. Help us to cnlor in and take Brazil tor Christ our l.ord. Pray for Brazil and for your inlg«lonary.

Thcro is no doubt but that tho breth-ren are often surprised when thoy see the re|K>rU of our missionaries that so llttlo is being done. But this can Iw accountod for in several ways.

In tho first place ours to a groat ox-u-iit is the work ot organizing. There arc destitute fields to bo occuplod and this is by tar the hardest part of tho work. To go Into one of thoso fields and undertake to preach tho gospel U) them when you can soo clearly that it is not wanted, makes It an up hill buhlnoss. But the faithful mossongor armed with the truth and his heart all aglow with love to God and his cause walks right over these dlflloultles and plants the Gospel standard, and In a llttlo while a necleus Is formed from which comes grand and glorious re-mits. But I repeat, tho fie^ Is a hard one, and only those who havo boon thoro know, How dllTeront when you have a strong ohuroh to back you.

We mention another phase of the work—broken down and abandoned churches. These must be revived and put Into lino, and next to those who are entirely destituto ot the gospel this is the hardest field. They have been idle so long that it has become ploasanttotheffl,sowhonthemlssionary comes he Is soo4 made to understand that there Is nothing there for him. But he dares not falter, and by pray-erful, earnest effort a t l e n i ^ the clouds lift and a glorious viotory is galnedi In such fields as this our State Board with Ito effloient Secretary does ita best work.

There are many strong pointa in Tennessee today that oertainly would have failed entirely it it had not been for the timely aid coming from this source. And herein is the advantage of this Board metliod of work. Thoy can utilise tho strong points to aid the weaker ones and Ihey in turn be-oome feeders.

For Illustration, you attempt to pump wator from a well and you find tho pump will not draw. Then you pour some wator in at tho top, working tho lever vigorously, and pretty soon the pump begins to draw. Just so with our State Board. They charge the pump while tho missionary works the lever. How any ono can objoct to tho plan is one of tho mysteries.

Still another class must bo met, for instance, thoso who claim to be work-ing for tho same thing wo aro and yet oppose our views, "whose mouths must bo stopped." (Titus 1:11.) This class is often mot with In our own ohurcbes and then It bocomes tho more formidable. They aro like tho dog In tho manger who would not eat tho hay himself nor lot tho ox oat. Thoy will not help themsolvos and they hinder thoso who would.

But brothern at tho other end of tho lino, thoso who do most of tho pray-ing, havo no foars. There aro strong men at tho wheel, tho work is slowly progressing. May God give you double for every cont you contribute. Help thoso self-sacriOoing, hard-work-ing men and women. Yours Is much tho oasist work. May tho blessings of God rest upon all who lovo the Lord in sincerity, is the prayer of ono of your missionaries.

Why I Am a Baptist.

This wonderful Baptist man, this "man sent from God," baptized nMr to Sallm because there was. much water there." (John ill. 2.3.)

Do other than BaptlsU in the year of our Lord, 189«, resort for baptism to places because there Is "much wa-

church houses, etc., aro gradually but surely passing out, and the now order of -things taking tho place. Though humiliating to many faithful ministers yet tho current Is resistless. There are probably 200 Baptist preaohors within 00 mllos of Waco, including tho

tor there?" And It was doubtless bo-» 60 young ministers in Baylor. A num cause there was mueh wator there that tho Baptist went to the river Jordan, for he baptized In Jordan, and It was there he baptized the Son ot God. (Matt. 111:13.) "And Jesus, when he was bapUzed, wont up straight-way out of the water." (Matt. 111:16.) Tho ordlnanoo was honored by the commendation and obedience of Jesus Christ, by the descent ot tho Spirit of God and by tho voice of God from heaven, saying, "This is my beloved Son, In whom I am well pleased."

It seems to mo that what tho three persons of tho Trinity witnessed ap-provingly ought to be current baptism, and should bo accepted and practiced by all Christian churches, for tho mode, as some call It, was never changed by divine authority; hence, whatever that baptism was which God the Father, Christ his Son, and the Holy Spirit sanctioned, whether sprinkling, or Immersion, Is Chris-tian baptism; and substitution Is not servioo. W. P. JoNES.

Nashville, Tenn.

Will you allow mo to supplement your Chattanooga Tinm article whh a few plain reasons why all tbo chil-dren of Jesus should bo Baptists?

"There was a man sent from God," (John 1:0) and ho was a "Baptis t ," "Tho Baptist." (Matt. 111:1.) Ho was a preacher; "came preaching," (Matt. 111:1 )henoo a Baptist proachor sent from God and to prepare "tho way of the Lord." (Matt. 111:3.)

He Is designated as "prophet of tho highest," . . . . "To give knowledge ot salvation unto Itis people by tho re-mission of thoir sins" (Luke 1:70-77). This Baptist man, sent from God, was "sent to baptize," (John i:83-.34) and In so far as I havo boon able to ob-serve, Jesus excepted, baptized only thoso who came confessing their sins, and bringing the fruits of repentance. He refused baptism to many< adult persons; and unconscious babes are n o t so much as mentioned. M a t t . 111:7.

In other years I diligently searched for but was unable to find any Blblo authority whatever for pedo-baptlsm. This man of God sent of God, did not practise It, nflr did Jesus command other than believers to bo baptized. The Ijord Jesus himself set the exam-ple after saying to tho Baptist, "thus it bocometh us" and the Apostle Paul often referring to Christ everlastingly Impresses the ordinance by saying in his letter to the Colosslans, (11:12) "Burled with him in baptism, wherein also ye aro risen with him through tho faith ot tho operation of God, who raised him from tho dead."

Can anything bo plainer than that tho baptised were burled in baptism and raised in the water of baptism? Notice the word "wherein," evidently in the thing In which thoy were burled, they were raised. And then notice the typical slgnlfloanco of the burial in baptism, and the i^islng.

Is there anything like obedience to Christ? anything typical of his death and resurrection in the sprinkling of

WUl Jesus, who came "from Oali-lee to Jordan unto John to be bap-tized of h i n , " take substitution for servloo? When he shall bo told It was inconvenient to follow his exam-ple or obey his command, will he say, "Welt done, good and faithful ser-vant?" or will he not say. Ye knew your Master, wUl and ye did It not!

Oar Texas Letter. Circumstances have delayed our

writing. Texas BaptlsU are not be-hind In matters ot evolution, or rev-olution perhaps, would bettor ex-pressed It.

A mission mass meeting was hold In this city a few week since, In which the talent of the denomination ot the State was well represented. The moot-ing was significant in several respecU. The question of missions was the ab-solute topic. Three days and nights wore spent In connection with the bus-iness of tho State Mission Board, in the discussion ot missions in lU many phases.

Tbo mooting was conducted In gi-oat harmony. Tho Holy Spirit was man-ifest In the proceedings. Tho address-es wore able and impressive. A new feature was thoroughly developed in tho meeting, the education of tho churches and people upon the mission question. Tho point was made that special cfforU should bo made In this dir^t ion, even If some local mission work bo dis-pensed with. Two men wero employed as special general missionaries for this work. They are to work among churches and with pastors to aid In the development ot the mission Spirit among their people.

ArrangemenU aro being made for holding mission mass meetings In va-rious portions ot the State. Wo be-lieve there Is something In the move-ment. There are some good brethren who question the i propriety of such a movement j tut at this time, as a maUer of expense. Some will doubt-less do little In co-oporatlng with the efforta being set forth.

ffhis, however, is not strange among Texas Baptists. Our 20 yoars experi-ence among them reminds us ^ a t there were ever some who always objected to the "p l an" and "methods" of work. And what a calamity to'the cause of our Master that such dissensions have existed, when otherwise the colors of our faith might now be floating In every section of this great State. But such has been the condition and possi-bly will be till the end of the age.

New men are rapidly taking the reins ot affairs, and in a very tew years the ministry of Texas will bo absolutely a now force. The men who came on tho field 20 and 26 yoars ago, opening up and establishing our cause, organising the churches, building

ber of churches In the surrounding country nfe served by students from the University.

Charles Carroll, tho younger ot tho two living sons of Dr. B. H. Carroll, has announced his Intention to preach, and made his first effort rceently. His sermon was favorably spoken of. The older son, B. H. Carroll, J r . , is serving in an cniolent pastorate at Colorado City in tho wbstern part of tho Stato.

Preparations tor the commonofmeut at Baylor are. going on. The exor-cises begin May 27, closing Juno 3. The graduating class will number about 40 In all tho different depart-ments.

Good seasons havo been general over tho State, and tho outlook for tho farmer is promising.

Politics is all astir and astow. Both of tho old parties aro in factions, and the populisU are hopeful. Pro-hibition Is neither dead nor sleeping, but will bo heard from In duo time.

The writer regreU the disappoint-ment of not attending the Convention at Chattanooga. We had hoped to tread our native soil ^galn, and drink the gurgling freestone water from the memorable springs of Middle Tonnes-see. We would have boon Interested in re-viowing tho historic country around Chattanooga. Wo witnessed tho bat-tle of Lookout Mountain, being in lino of battle in the valley between the Point and Mission Ridge during the engagement.

From early In tho forenoon till near midnight, wo beheld tho advancing and rooedlng columns in deadly con-flict. Aftor nightfall tho moving and contending forces wero observed only by the flashing of musketry lite. 'Twas awful In fact, but grand to behold. Tho next day tho tngagemont becamo general; and with roduood force, a id much weakened lines tho Confederates wore compelled to yield tho field bo-fore the Immense and massed forces ot tho Federal Army. Tho hotly con-tested engagement ot several days closed on Missionary Uldge, whore a few hours before tho battle closed, the wrltor was wounded in tho left arm, and amid a rain of bulloU left tho field of carnage.

DR. UENSON'S SEItMONS. We are sure the first sermon

in the series preached by Dr. P. S. Henson in the First Baptist Church, Chicago, and published in t h e B A I T I B T A M > RK^'I^KCTOH , w a s read with a great deal of interest last weeic. It was strong, solid, orthodex, eloquent and grand. It was but a sample of the others which are to follow. We wish that every Baptist preacher in the South, nay, every Baptist in this country, could read this series of sermons. Tell your neighbors about them, and asic them to subscribe for the paper at once in order to get them. On account of the length of the sermons and the many other e.v-collent things we have on hand and arc constantly receiving for publi-cation, wo shall publish the sermons every other week. The series will then run something over six months. liEPLV 008rEL ADVOCATE.

The /lift'ociifr takes the expression, "Obey not the gospel of our Tx)rd Jesus Christ, "asroferring simply to baptism; but is not the essence of obedience internal and spiritual, and not simply external and ma-terial? In another place Paul speaks about "obeying from the heart that form of doctrine," etc. It is only such obedience which amounts to anything. But when there is a heart obedience, when there Is a spirit of obedience In the hwrt, that Is really true obetilenoe, oven before It expresses Itself In any aot, though it will bo glad to do so upon every opportunity. The trouble with Bro, Srygley and oth-ers of hlM kind Is that while ho claims to believe In heart obedlonoo as precedent to outward obedience, be puts all 'of the etress upon the outward obedlenoe, and in this way mlnlflea the heart obedlenoe and leads people to suppose that II they simply have the outward obedlenoe

it is all they need. That is the logic of his teaching whether he Intends It so or not.

The tendency of [Msople is towards the material auyhow. The spiritual IK hidden and seems mysloriaus, while the material is open and ])atont to all, and can easily bo un derstood. So they jump over the spiritual and perform the inaterial and with u self-satlslied air congrat ulatc themselves that they have dune all that is required of them. Hut they have mistaken the shadow for the substance, the external for the internal, the incidental for the essential, the material for the spirit-ual. Bro. Srygley and our.self botb believe in faith and in baptism, but wf put emphasis upon faith, and he uiK>n baptism, in the plan of salva tion. It may be that some who mity possibly be Inlluenced by our tcach Ings will belifve without being bap-tized, but we should mucli rather that they should do that than that they should be baptized without having believed, as they are liable to do under the teachings of Bro. Srygley. Christianity, let us re-peat it, is a spiritual religion in its very cssence, and not a material re-ligion. It is internal, not external. It consists essentially of u change in the di.spositions of the soul so a.s to bring them Into harmony with the will of Gml, and not in rites and ceromonies. Its throne is in the heart, not in the <u;ts of man.

It was a little amusing to us to hear Bro. Srygley say: "I have never dodged any question, nor hesitated to express myself on any subject in religion." The facts are that for several years ho "dodged" the question wo were continually putting to him, "What about the pious unimmersed, will they be saved?" Whether ho "hesitated" to express himself upon this ques-tion or not, he certainly refused to do so, or at lca.st he did not, and would not, answer our repeated question. This he knows full well. Other <|uestions which we have put to him time and again he has never answered, and never even attempted to answer. Not infrequently, how-ever, he talked all arctund the sub-ject without even getting to the point. This may not be "dodging" In the vocabulary of Uro. Srygley, but we confess that we can find no word in the dictionary which can better .describv his action. He makes a great show of bravery now, and says baldly: "I have often said before, and now say again, that there is no promise' In the New Tes-tament that the unimmersed will bo saved, whether pious or otherwise. The promises of the Scripture are all in Christ, and fojks get into Christ by being baptized into hUn. If God saves anyone without Inun6r-slon, it will be something be has not promised to do." ,Thls Is unequivo-cal. There Is no misunderstanding It It Is baptismal salvation right straight out. It is a oold, formal, ceremonial religion, If we may dig-nify It by suob a term as religion at all.

We BUrt, tor soul Is wantini tltere.*' At one fell swoop It oondoms to

death millions of mankind who have accepted Christ as their Savior, and who tiave loved and trusted and served Him, but who through Ignor-

ance or otherwise have never tliought it necessary to submit to a certain outward ceremony.

But lot us see about Bro. Srygley's remark that "If Ood saves any one without immersion, it will bo some thing that he has not promised to do." .The Savior said, "For (lod so loved the world, that ho gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever belicveth In hlin should not perish, but have -everlasting life." Wo might quote a number of other texts, but this will do. Here Is a clean, clear, unequivocal promise that whosover belicveth on Christ shall have everlasting life. Nothing is said about immersion. Evidently It appears that in this text Goii has promised to save people without im-mersion. With this promise as a pillow for their head many a noble saint of (iu<l in the past has fallen peacefully asleep in Jesus, and wo confess that grasping hold of this promise we are willing to swing out into eternity. CAItSOy AM> XEiVMAX COL-

LE(SE. Accepting the very cordial invita-

tion of President Henderson, we had a brief but delightful • visit to this college on last Thursday. The com-mencement exercises were in full blast. Dr. P. S. IIcn.son had preached the baccalaureate sermon the previous day. We heard echoes of it upon every hand. A promi-nent brother, who knows how to appreciate good preaching, said to us enthusiastically that it was the best sermon that ever was preached. We do not know whether he meant that it was the best sermon that was ever preached at Carson and New-man College, or the best sermon that he had ever heard. His Ian guage, however, was entirely un-qualKied. At night the sermon be-fore the religious societies was preached by Dr. R. J. Willingham, secretary of the Forefgn Mission Board. Naturally it was upon the subject of missions, and, as might bo expected, it was sjwken of as quite elo<|uent.

On Thursday morning there were some declamation and recitation contests which were said to bo in-teresting and excitiog. At lit:;i(l o'clock the literary address was de-livered by Dr. P. S. Ilenson, His subject was "Gunnery." The best description of it was that it was Iten»one»iiHr,, Thoso who have ever had the privilege of hearing the distinguished orator know what that means. Dr. Henson is utterly inimitable. For an hour and a half behold his audlencospoll-bound, moving them to laughter or to serious thought or toors, at will.

At a o'clock thoro wore two de-bate contests. The (Irst was by two young ladles upon the subject, "Resolved, That tho Prosont Cen-tury Is Productive of More True Greatness Than any Other." Miss Nora Goodson roproBontlng<i''tho CaUloplan Socioty upon the aillrma-tlve, and Miss Lucy Sharp repre-senting tho Hypatlan upon tho nega-tive. Tho first reader was evident-ly a gmnl daughter of the CaUloplan Society, and the second was quite a *harp representative of the HypAtlan Society. The second debiito was upon the subject, "Resolved, That All Trusts and Oomblnatlons to MonopolUlD an Industry Should

be Prohibited by Law." Mr, K. K, Cox of tho Phllomathlan Society was on tho atllrmative, and Mr. Virgil Jones of the Columbian uptjn the negative. Both speakers ac-quitted thornsolves most admirably, showing doop study and thorough acquaintance with tho subject, and rellefctlng crodit both upou thein-solves and their teachers. It was u matter of much regret that wo could not remain to tho concert, which was to take place that night, and to the commencement exercises pro[)er thu next day, but duty cullcd us home again. Wo Were moro than over impressed with tho work which IK being done at Carson and Newman College. President Henderson and bis able co-laborers justly deserve, we beliovo, tho sympothy and the prayers and tho money and the boys and girls of Baptists all over Kost Tennessee, and wc aro gratiticd to know that they are receiving these in an increa.sing degree ouch year.

int. T. II. ruiTcnAUl). We learn with deep regret of the

death, at the liomo of his son in New York City on Saturday, May 2:5, of Dr. T. 11. Pritchard, pa.sl(.r of tho First Baptist Church, Char lotto, N. C. Dr. I'ritchard ha.s long been recognized as one of our ablest an<l most clotiuent preachers. He had occupied prominent pulpits in Baltimore, l/ouisville, Raleigh, Wilmington and Charlotte, and was also President of Wake Forest College for a while, succceiling the lamented Dr. W. M. Wingate. T/ii^ IMtsition he resigne<i to acccpl the pastorate of the Broadway Church, Ix)ui8yille. It was in North Caroii na that the greatest part of Ills life was s|>ent, and where bis intlucnce was widest and deepest. For many years he has boon among the rccog nized leaders of North Carolinu Baptists.

With ail of his eloquence, how over, Dr, Pritcbard seldom 8|)okr ui)on public occasions. At the meeting of tho Young I'eople's Union in Atlanta last fall, he a|x)Io-gliced for taking tho llooi- to make a speech, and stated that although ho had been attending tho Southern Baptist Convention for years ho bad nuver made l>ut one speech be fore It. This, wo believe, was in Baltimore in 1884, When tho edi tor of this {taper was a student at Wake Forest Collo{,c," ho was ap iwlntedacommlttoe by tho Phlloma-tbeslan Socioty, of which ho was » member, and of which Dr. Pritcb-ard bad formerly been a member, to write to Dr. Pritcbard, thon pastor of the First Baptist Cburch, Ral eigh, and request the privilege of having his portrait painted to be hung in the hall of the ISootety, II« declined very modestly, saying that be did not tLlnk It was best to do HO, as ho was still living, and he might possibly do something bo-fore his death that would make the Society asbamod of blin—an event which was not contemplated by any member of the Society, and which, as time has proven, would not have occurred.

We feel the loss of Dr. Pritcbard OS that of a dear personal friend. The soboolmate and Intimate friend of our father, he has always been very kind to us both as a school

We hope that bo may deliver a number of leoturaa in dlfToront partB of the Stato, and may also B u e o ^ In Belling a largo num-ber of bis books. They are both well worthy of liberal patronage.

It is with much forrow that we an-nounce tbo death, a t bis home in Bus-ton, La., of Rev. G. W. Hartsfleld on Friday, May 22. Bro. Hartslield was the beloved pastor of the Arcadia Baptist Cburoh. For 18 years he was recording secrotary of the Louialana Baptist Convention. He returned home from the Southern Baptist Con-vention quite sick, from which time be gradually sank until May 22, when he was called away. He will be greatly missed from the denomination. He is woli known to tho Baptists throughout tho South, having been a cor-respondent for a number of tho rolig-ious papers, the B A P T I S T A N D R E -F L . K C T O R among others. His funeral services woro conducted by Rev. J. It. Fxiwards in the presence of a large concourse of bis sorrowing friends. We tender our heartfelt sympathies to the bereaved ones.

In rasponso to a prossing invitation, we ran up last Saturday to Adam's Station to attend a Fifth Sunday mooting of tho Third CIrolo of tho Cumborland Association. Tho meet-ing was proslded over by Bro. Her-voy Whitfield, chairman of that divis-ion. Among those in attendanoo wero RevB. W. C. Goldon of Nasbvlllo, A. U. Boone and W . - D . Turnley of Clarksvllle. These, together with tbo editor, did most of tbo speaking of the day. Tiie audienoo was very patient, however, and listenetl quite attentively. The attendanoo was quite good. We heard good reports of the sermon praaebed by Bro. Golden on Friday night. Bro. Turnley wan to preach on Saturday night. We regret that a previouB engagement prevented our remaining over. Itev. A.

A Case of Progressive Euchre.

BY »ET. 4. F. WW**

" I don't see how we're going to keep them from it, when so many of the neighbors' children play, and especially children of parents who rank high in the membership of our church," said Mrs. Ashton to her husband,in a despondent tone.

"I know. I spoke to Mr. Seaman about that the other day, and told him how Harry was shocked at see-ing him play openly in the railway coach. But he only laughed at me, and replied that a boy who was worth anything would be sure to play cards some time or other, anc it would be better to teach him at home than let somebody else do it on the sly. He had done that with his boy, and now he felt securely forti-fied against any sneaking off with the boys."

"But I can't believe that," replied Mrs. Ashton to her husband, suppose the best we can do, though, is to try to set him so thoroughly against it that he will resist the temptation even after seeing the practice glossed over with the gta mour of respectable associations. Why can't people high in position and business and social standing see that corresponding responsibil-ities are laid on them not to lend the sanction of wealth to vices?"

"Why not?" answered Mr. Ash-ton. " I shall not forbid our boy to play. I shall only say, 'Harry, when-ever you can pray over Itand feel free to come and ask me to take a game with you, then I shall not withhold my consent.' But I'm very much afraid Mr. Seaman Is making a great mistake with Fred."

Mr. Seaman was a prominent mem-ber of the ehuroh, and at the same time an enthuaiutlc member of a progressive euohre party which met periodically at bis own home. He was very liberal with his money in supporting various enterprises of the church, and a thoroughly moral man in his business relations and overy-d«y life; and so it was bard to condemn or denounce this thing in him as a heinous offense. He said that Fred was Just as innocent in playing a game of euchre as other children are in playing marbles or thre«-old-cat

Not long after, Fred was travel-ing on a steamboat. "Coine," ac-costed a young companion, "yout^re just the fellow we want. We need another hand to make out a game of cards."

Fred hesitated. So far ho had never played away from home. •"Will there beany betting?" he asked fai-teringly.

"Oh, you needn't bother your head about the thing hurting you," as-sured the young man, who wosoider than Fred. "Wo know you are a tirst-rate player, and your father often takes a hand with us on his trips across the lake."

So Fred felt perfectly free to con-sent, although'he was not long in d isco veri ng that the game was playetl quite difTerently from what he had been taught to phty it in his father's parlor—tiiat is, with less courtesy and fait^ess among the players, and for a stako or wager which he was told was only a "blufT," as all those engaged were too gentlemanly to think of winning money.

But when the game was over, he heard a low whispered order given to the waiter, and then it turned out that the stake was to be devoted to the purchase of several bottles of wine.

Again his older companion as-sured him that it wouldn't be gen-tlemanly to decline, at least to take a sip with the others. They wouldn't know what to make of such an un-sophisticated chap, and he was sure that his father would do the same thing if be were there.

Knowing his father's well-known liberal views in all these matters, Fred reluctantly gave in, and soon felt the excitement of the stimulant in his blood and brain. He had proved himself to be a good player, and every one was praising his skill.

A few years later, he wasa student at school. He had been rather prod-igal in his expenditures and his quarterly allowance was gone. There was an affair to come off among the young fellows of his set which required money. Down town he knew a place where men staked and woe hirge sums of money by gamb ling. Why not, just this once, make use of his skill to help himself out of an emergency?

He did so. He won. He was

A Lesion Well Learned.

able to make the expenditure which bis sense of hooor required of him. None of his associates or the faculty knew anythitig about it. Ho would have been expelled had It been known. Of cOurse he would never do it again.

But does the tiger taste human blood and then go to a diet of roots and berries? That "once" was re-peated again and again, and in less than five years from that time the startling news came home totheeara of his father and mother that Fred Seaman had been shot dead over a gaming table on a river steamboat.

I do not know how bitter were their reflections as they followed him to his grave, but I never hear "progre«iive euohre" mentioned, atlll I think, "Ah, ye«l that case of Fred Seaman's was 'progressive euohre' in the real and awful sense of the word." It is not its nature to "progress" }n any other direction, eiUier, although with all boys it may not reach the same tragic end.— United I^tabyleriaH.

A poor man, on the way home from his day's work, was walking along just ahead of me, with a sack of flour on his shoulder. His little boy was trudging by his side with a beetle swung over his shoulder.

It was a heavy thing to carry and I heard the little boy 'say very wearily, "Oh, father, how glad I am that we left the wedges 'till to-mor row night This beetle is just all can carry."

"Do the best you can, my son, &id the father. " I know you are tired, and the beetle is heavy, but be patient."

For some time after these words of encouragement, the little fellow was very patient, but the farther he wont, the heavier the beetle secmcti to grow.

At last he stopped, and lowering it to the ground, said, "Father, cannot carry it any farther."

"You need not carry it any farther, my boy," was the father's reply "You have done well. Some little boys would have complained in very short time, but you have done nothing of the kind. You have been I)atient and you have nobly strength ened your own power of endurance by what you have done. Now, my darling, I will carry the beetle the rest of the way for you."

Uow easy and how pleasant the remainder of that walk was to the little boy whose father was carry ing the burden for him.

I saw the two—father and child— as they entered the little yard in which their low, vine-covcrcd cbt-

. tage stood. Two lessons were learned during

the evening walk. The little boy learned that when

he really needed help, his father would help him. He woulS not shirk. He carried the heavy beetle ,as far as a little boy ought to carry it, and then he learned the grand lesson of his life—that his father could be depended upon to help him.

I also learned a lesson. I learned that if I bear life's burdens patient-ly, my heavenly Father, all unseen, will, when the proper time comes, take them and b ^ r them for me.— £gherl L. liangi, in The Maiienger.

The Ruling Pauion.

canviMser was dy-The old book Ing.

" I t Is very hard," he murmured, "to have this happen just as I had been given exclusive ground for a work which is bound to sell like sl^ot."

Then, glancing at the sobbing friends who stoi^ around his bed-side, he said:

"Soon all that will be left of me Is a sainted memory. I shall have de-parted, as Shakespeare—whose works in 10 volumes at 3s. 6d. each, or £1 ISs. Od. for the set, I have often sold—remarks, to that bourne from whence no traveler returns. But do not weep. I have one last request to make of you. Promise me that you will grant it."

"We will," replied all present, in choking accents.

" I have your word—yours, Uncle Joe, and yours, Aunt. Matilda, and Bill's, and Cousin Jim's, and Dr. Slaughter's?"

"You have," waK the unanimous response.

"Then," said the dying man, with animation, " I shall put each of you down for a set of Wessel's 'New History of the World Before the Flood,' In 12 volumes, full morocco, jClOperset. The entire work will bu delivered to each of you within u week."

One by one the sorrowing friends filed out, too full for utterance.

"That little stroke'of businc&B gets me an A1 monument," suid the agent, addressing his wife. "And now suppose you send round for the undertaker, and I'll see if I can't get him to Invest in a setand take it out in trade."—London Tit-Ihu.

Pride In the Family Name.

A teacher who has had long ex perience in dealing with boys writes; I wonder if mothers realixe how easy it is to appeal to a boy's souse uf honor? One of my most unruly i»i pits at one time was the son of a prominent judge, whose noble Chris tian character was theaclmiration.of all his fellow-citizens. His son wus constantly violating the rules of tiic school.

At length I said to him, " I have no inlluence over you any longer, Sam, and there is nothing to do but to send you home. Of course you won't mind the disgrace of being ex])elled, butthink how your parents will feel to have the fine old nunie

of dishonored." He was a manly boy and quickly

replied: ''I never thought of tiiat." From that time forward the sense of upholding the honor of the fumil\ name wasa strong motive witii him. I think the cases are few where a boy may not bo influenced by ap pealing to his pride in the family name.

A Boston school supervisor h;is the reputation of being a very wide-ly informed man, and much of his nformation, according to a (Mmjmn-

ion contributor, has been gulliered by the simple method of aslting questions of the man nearest hini, wherever he happened to bo. One day the supervisor was [Hissing some of the large cotton mills in l^ l i Uiver. The river near by sug-gested the idea that water-power was used to run them; but, to muke sure, he adopted his usual metho<l of questioning the first person in sight. It chanoea to be an Irishman, who was trundling a wheelbarrow of coal toward one of the engine-rooms,

"Ijook here, my man,^' said the supervisor,familiarly, "do they run these mills by water?"

"Yes, sorr," answered the Irish-Dun; "but they bile i t ."

"Oh, of course—naturally—that's whati meant, "murmured the super-visor.

If you aro uncertain as to your duty, turn to the Master's words. I'onder them, study them, pray over ihem. Find for yourself the mind of Christ. My dear father gave mo this rule when I was growing up. I used U) ooino to him and say, "Papa, is it right to do this?" or, "Is that any harm'?" "Can you," ho would say, with biB hand on my head, *'can you aitk lite Savior to bless you in doing it:'"' So I say always to the yoUng (tcoplo who ask mo about the "barm" of dancing, card-playing, etc.. Can you go down on your knees and hon-.e«t'.y and earnestly ask the Savior's hulp and blessing on you in what you nro going to do?

I am vory much interostod in our missiun study this month. Pioaso help nio to loarn all tho Interesting things possibleabout Brazil. One reason why I'm ospooially intorostod in this flold is that I am doing some proaebing there niysolf. You don't soe how that can boV Well, let me toll you. There's a bravo young Presbyterian missionary there that I prepared for collego, and he it kind ebough to say that my in' tluonoe helped to make him what ho is today—an humble, earnest worker in that benightod land. He has Buffered muoh at tho hands of tho Homnnists. Hit house hat been itoned and bis wifo to terioutly injured that her health it gone, probably forever, but ho keeps at hit Father's butlnett, and little by little toot It prosper In hit handt. I never thought once while I was patiently teaohing thii boy of the honor in ttore for him. Lot mo whit-per thlt to tho Sundaysohool toaoh-ert at well at thoio in thodayichool: Be faithful; who knows what material you aro thaplng?

Wo eannot know, but lot us each and all work as wo shall wish we had when the end comes to UB here on thla side of tho river.

You aro waking up a little. Thero aro nine people waiting to speak to you this morning. When tho com-tnencemonU) aro all over I shall hope for threo times aS many. The long summer days are the very best ones. Lay your plans right away. Uo hard at work. I ilko so muoh bettor to have you send in the money you earn. There aro tho vegetables and fruit to sell, the berries to piek, the ehiekont to raise, the eggs to gather. I know your mothers and grandmothers will give you every chance, if only thoy see you aro in earnest. Lot us have a great harvest before tho schools be-gin again!

Let mo say 'tirst of ail to Harry Miirtin of Stanton that I wish ho would see what ho can do with his postmaster. Perhaps, as the money was paid over to him, he might exert iiimBolf to havo tho duplicate order sent me. I have done my best at this end.

There's another thing, too, I want to ask of you. Whenever I tend you a package of literature, send me at least a card in acknowledgement of it. It Is a good rule to observe anyway. Al-ways bo polito enough to write, " I thank you," for tho veriest trifle sent you by mail or express. Sometimes I eoulji trace tbo ones that go astray, if I knew you had not reoeivod them, so I'll ask you always to let mo know if the literature does not reach you be-fore your letter appears In tho paper. Will you do that? I am only too glad to supply you for Just tho postage it takes to send it to you. I hope to hoar of many circles studying the fields and phasos of our work this summer. This lltoraturo will help you much. Miss Armstrong expressed great intercB|t in our work when she was hero at the donvention, and bade mo ask for all the leaflets I could use.

Tho first letter I open is from our dear Memphis baby:

"J am two years old today, and I send you 12 as a birthday offering. Givo this where it is most needed."

MUIIAM MARTIN.

Is that not a lovely way of celebrat-ing a birthday? Shall I givo half of it to tbo Orphanage and half to Japan? May the dear child have many more happy anniversaries. May she grow up a bloBsing to her home and friends. Thank you vory much. I was to glad to meet tho loader of tho "Miriam Band" during tho Convention.

Tho second is from Dodoburg; ••My little brother wanto to Join tho

Young South. He is five years old. We tend together 11 to bo divided equally botweon Dr. Wlliingham and the Orphanage. This It from our Sunday eggt. Wo hope it may do some good, and we moan to help moro . " NINA SMARTT.

Wo aro to glad to shako handt with tho little brother. Theto Sunday eggs ought to pour In now. Atk your mothers for them. I am ture not one will refute. Let ut hoar often from you, Nina.

Number threo oomoi from our faith-ful little band at Shop Spring. It wat tuoh a pleature to meet during tho Convention tome of our friondt from that little corner ot the Young South territory and to thank them fOr their kind words of encouragement:

"After to long a tiuo here we aro onoe more with our little offering for Mrt. Maynard. Some of ut have the promise from our motheri ot the Bun-

This is one of our systematic givers. I wish we had 100 or to. I am so glad U> hear of tho help given the 8tat« work and the CoiporUge and Sunday-school Board. That is one' thing the Young South hopes ovor to do—to train its readers to help on all sidos. Whether it is done through this one means or not matters little. Work on, dear little ones!

Let's see now what the fourth comer has to say. She comes from Virginia.

" I am sorry to say I haven't any money this time. My mamma has been sick since I joined tho band, and I have had no time to collect, as I had to take care of my baby brother. I think tho pyramid makes a nlco lit-tle mission bank."

ORA BELLAMY.

What it done for the sick mother is as procioas in God't sight at heaps of silver and gold. So Ora't time It not wasted. May tho toon see happier days. Miss Armstrong told mo a secret when she was hero. She said we would soon havo somothing oven nicer than these pyramids wo have found so useful. So if you are going to work for us this Bummer, send in your order soon. We shall hope to hear bettor news soon from Virginia.

What has tho fifth to toll us? John-son City tpcaks:

" I have never written to tho Young South, although I've boon Itt constant reader for more than two years. I have often thought of writing, but my mite seemed so small I kept waiting to get more. But when I read Mrs. May-nard's last letter I felt I must do something if It was over so little. I thought if sho could loavo homo and friends to labor among those heathen people, surely I could do something for her support. So I beg to bo ad-mitted tu tho Young South. I sond my offering for Japan this time. I hope soon to do something for tho mother-lett children at the Orphanage. My heart tympathizet with them, for I have no mother. I pray earneatly fo^ the suooess of the gospel in our dear old Tennessee, and oven more for heathen lands, where men are dally dying for Ita want."

BKTTIB EDENB.

All our handt and hearts go out to thlt now member, I am ture. Wo hope to havo her come so often wo shall soon know her well.

Tho sixth it from our MoKonr.ro

Lillian: "Here I am with another liule offer-

ing for doar Mrs. ftaynard. I hope I won't bo to long again."

LILLIAN BUBDETTB.

That It brief and to the point. I don't eontlder a whole dollar a "lit-tle offering," though. It looks right big to mo, etpoelally when one tondt at regularly at thlt dear friend of ourt. I know the It blotted In her eonitantwork.

Tho next Is from our tiny boy at Cleveland, whose pretty little mamma and tweet grandmother 1 wat priv-ileged to meetiduring tho Convention.

(Just make up your mind, will you, that you aro not going to hear the last of that Convention for a long while yet?) Both spoke so kindly of our work, and 1 cannot bear to keep such pleasant things all to myself. He says:

" I havo saved another small ofTor-ing, which I enclose to you^ Please use it as you think best."

ITOIIEKT LVLE MOTLEY, J r .

I give it to Japan with thanks to Itobert. May Cod keep him and blcBs him.

Tho eighth is from Jacknon, and has bad news:

''I write after waiting some time to lot you know we have not received the pyramid and literature wo sent for. I have collected some money and will Bond as soon as I collect some more. 1 am 12 years old, and my sister An-nette is 8."

I find by reference to my bo "A. and M. Campbell" are credited with four cents, and that on March (i I sent the pyramid and literature. I sond again, however, and I bo|)e this time it will go safely.

In this weeks issue of this paper wo present our advortisemont for tho third quarter for IHOfl. Tho Convention year which has just closed has boon decidedly the best year in tho history of tho Sunday-school Board of tho Southern Baptist Convention.

Dur-ing tho Convention year uiion which we have Just entered, wo desire to make still further advancement and en-largement, and BO ask your help. Wo ask your help, not in tho way of money contributions, but simply by putting the periodloalH of the Southern Bap-tist Convention into your schools, in doingthis you help not only tho Board, but all the other groat interests of tho Convention. Wo carry a full lino of Sunday-school supplios, and will glad-ly send samples on application.

That Whitsitt Hatter.

Will you allow a few words on tliu above subjeot from one of your weak-est reitdersV "Wil l nut Di<. Whitsiii bo required to resign tho Prosldenc.v of the Southern Baptist 'Ilioolugicii Seminary and save the Baptists aim the Seiiilnary any further trouble ovii this mattery"

This question Is greatly agltatliit; the mlndii uf some East Tonnossco Ba|>-tlsts Just now. When Chief Justlcu Snudgrass Urod a shot into tho lM>dy of one uf tho cltlKens uf tho Stat4>, nil lovers of law and order wore anxious tu know if ho would bo required to re-sign his posltlun aH Chief .luslK-o, an<l save the Supremo Bench and the |)eo-pie of tho Suto from humiliation and disgrace. And now Dr. Whitsitt has tired a shot not only into tho budy of the Baptist jtcuple of tho South, but Into tho very heart of cixry true Hup-tint of the world, liriiij/ or dead.

And Mball tho Baptist |)eoplo l)o com-lulled to riulTor this groat wrong ai>d still ho who tii-cd the fatal shot bo al-lowed to remain at tho very head of our groat Baptist school fur tbe train-ing of our mlnlstorH? Will the stu-dents from oar Seminary go fortli to teach as they arc taught by tbe {'res-ident of our great Institution, or will they have to say as our good editor o f t h o B A I T I S T A N D H E K L K C T O K h a s

said "Dr. Whitsitt is mistaken?"

And will tho good Doctor plcaxo tell us backwoods felluws huw U hap-pens that ho of all other men came to make this wonderful dlscuvery? Is it because of his 8U|)crlor ability over all of our learned men uf tho past? Or Is It becaiisc he Is more honest than they? Did not Dr. (1 raves dl|; as deep lulu tho history of the Baptists as any man of his day, and did he make this dlscuvery and hide It from his brethren and the world?

Did Dr. Carson uf Hngland. know that his people, as late as imi, aduptod immersion as baptism, and refuse to glvo tho churches and the world tho beneOt uf his Infurmatlon? Have the bost of learned Baptists of the past all been Ignorant of this matter, or have they been toe> unfaithful tu dls-cluse what they know about it?

it Hoems that some of tho professors are attempting to explain tho Doctor out of this dlllloulty by saying ho meant tho so-called Baptists of Kng-land and nut thuso who baptlaed by immersion. Well, If ho meant that he bhould by all means have said that. It would have been as easy for him to havo said tho so-called Baptists hiid not yet adopted Immersion for bap-tism, This would havo saved himself and tho Seminary a groat deal of cen-suro.

Dr. Whitsitt may indeed bo in many res|)ects a groat man. So Is Hnod-grass. But it is tho honest opinion of this writer that fur tho good of tho Seminary and the Baptist Churches ho should as soon as possible resign his presidency, and if hO should not re-sign or corroot this mistake, war will bo made against tho Seminary by many who aro now its friends,

Dr. Hawthorne.

"As important an event as tho re-moval of Dr. J. B. Hawthorne from Atlanta to Kashvlllo creates consid-orablo interest in Southern Baptist circles. Ur. Hawthorne is easily our finest pulpit orator. Of course Atlan-ta Is in mourning that he refuses to reconsider his acceptance of tho call to the First Baptist Church of Nash-ville. To those of us who look on from a disUnce, Atlanta appears to be losing much, while Nashville gains mu(!h. Nashville is bocoming more and more an important center of Bap-tist influence. With Hawthorne In its oldest pulpit, this influen<>o must con-siderably increase.

Wherever Dr. Hawthorne is, he will IKS a potent factor for good. He has alraady occupied the most Important Southern pulpits, and is yet in his prlmo. May tho good Father spare him long to us, and may his stay In Nashville be all that he could desire. Wo congratulate you, Bro. Folk."— Florida Jiuptinl W'rtHfiw.

Bubbles, or Medals. " Best sarsaparlllas." When you think of it liow contradic-

tory that term Is. For there can he only one l)e»t in anything—one Iwst sarsaparllla, as there is one hlgliest mountain, one lungeHt river,one acci)c»t ocean. And that best Harsaparllla Is ? . . . . There's the rub I You can measure mountain height and ocean depth, but how test sarsaparllla ? You could 1 f you were chemists. Ilut then do you need to test it? The World's Fair Cammittce tested it,—and thoroughly. They went liehlnd the label on the iwttle. What did this sarsaparilla test result in ? Every make of sarsaparllla shut out of the Fair, except Ayer's. So it was that Ayer's was the only »arsa|)arllla .admitted to the World's Fair. The committee found it the l)cst. They liad no room for anything that w;i8 not the best. And as tlie l)c»t, Ayer's Sarsa-parllla received the medal and awards due its merits. Kemcml)cr the word "l)est" is a bubble any breath can 1)low; but there are plus to prick such bubbles. Those others arc blowi^ more "best sarsaparilla" bubbles since the World's Fair miclccd the old ones. True, but Ayer's Sarsap-nrilla has the ntfedal. The pin that scratches the medal proves it gold. The pin that pricks the buljble proves it wind. We point to medals, not bubbles, when we say: The best Karsaparilla is Ayer's.

Another spirit has taken Its Uightto the haven of rest. Sister Dorrls de-parted this life March 10, 189<l, at the age of 81. She professed faith In Christ at an early age, and united her-self with the Baptist Church at Uock Springs, but In her few last years moved her membership to the Grecn-bricr Baptist Church, where she at" forded great strength to the young members, also to her pastor, as the Conference meeting never met without her presence. She was not blessed like many of us to live near the church, but her home was two and a half miles in the country. She always walked and attended the monthly Conference, which proved her faithfulness, if noth-ing more. There cannot Xx enough said in praise of dear "Aunt Sookey." She was left a widow in 187,1, but in all her loneliness she always carricd sunshine into otlier lives. May we all follow in the footsteps of such a worthy Christian. She was a mother to the motherless and a friend to the friendless. Though her spirit is free her life lives on. We feel assured that she is now wearing the crown of glory und sitting at tho right hand of God.

BERRY.

Death has again visited our church and ukcn another of our loved ones, sister Christina Berry. She wiis born April 5, 1872, and died January 28, 1890, aged 23 years, » months and 2:1 days. She professed faith in Christ and united with the Baptist Church at Uound Lick at the age of 18 and ever after lived the life of a Christian. In the last hours of this life, while her pastor was talking with her, she told him he could not reali/.e the comforts that religion gives as she could, for she was very near death's door, and her hopes were growing brighter and brighter. Be it

Jkmtlvfd, That we, the memlxirs of the Bound Lick Church, extend our heart felt sympathy to tho bereaved husband and loved ones. This church has lost a good and useful member. Be it further

liaolml, That these resolutions bo spread on the minute book of this church, copy bo furnished the BAI>>

TIST AND REFLECTOR for publication, and that a copy be furnished the fam-ily.

BARR.

Mrs. Margaret Barr died at her home near Hopewell Springs, Tenn., on May 10, 1800. The funeral services were conducted by Eev. WlUlam Curtis and the writer.

Sister Barr was bom in September, 1832, professed faith In Christ when about ao years old, joined Hopewell Baptist Church the same year. In 1857 she was united in marriage to John Barr. She leavea ahuaband and 9 children to moum her loss. . Sister Barr lived a devoted Christian and died in the full triumph of a living faith. Her .place as a Christian will be hard to 1111. Well can we say she wept with them that wept, moumed with them that moumed, and rejoiced with them that did rejoice. She waa ever present when her servlcea were needed.

Aa a wife she was loving and kind; as a mother affectionate and good; as a neighbor useful, charitable, loving and true. She was ever present at church aervloes. Her iclluence as a Christian bas been felt In this com-munity and will be demonatrated on the reaurrectlon mora. Ws bow our beada In submission to tbe wUl of Him who doeth aU things well. He has claimed our aiater by the hand of Death; laid her body low in the sil-ent city and carried her immortal spirit home to glory. Therefore be it

R a o l ^ That we extend our prayers and sympathies to her husband and children. Be It further

Baolvea, That abe Is not dead but

sleepeth and we will try to meet her In

the home In glory. Be it further Jlttoktd, That this be sent to tho

Gnater New York about 3,000,000 In-

that Chicago had prevloutly taken in

expect her before the oentua of liKW to

get ahead of New York.

The Cuban struggle ttUl oontlnuot,

but it can hardly be dignlfled by the

term of war. It hat degenerated into

a guerilla warfare and a butchery on

the part of the Spanlardt of helplett

men and wonpen. Maceo, it It

ttated, hat srotted the trooha or mil-

itary line drawn by Gen. Weyler

acrota the lelantl, and which was

thought to be Impregnable. The fact

It, the Spanldi themtelvet teem to be

gtttlngverytlredofthewar. Tlieralny

teaton hat eet in In Cuba, and that

added to the yellow fever hat eauted

much ticdmeet among the toldlert, and

hat been tadlydtohaaatingthehrranke.

Unable to ilght the Cubant, and omn-

pelled to remain Idle and be ttricken

down by fever or other diaeate the

toldlert are lotlng all heart. The

people of Spain alto teem to have loit

hope of their conquering Cuba, and

there It strong talk of recalling Gen.

Weyler. In thlt connection vwmay

mention that Bev. A . J. Diaa it quoted

in the papers at taying in a termoit

preached In Oihclnnall on latt Sunday

night that he had maintained a hot-

Few promltee mean non, when

practically Interpreted, than that one

which telle nt to acknowledge the Lord

In all our wayt, and then atiuret ut

that he will dhrect our patht. W e all

need dhreotlon in our life patht. W e

are continually coming to polntt

where we cannot decide what vn ought

to do, whliOi way we ought to. take.

W e turn to onr friend for countd. The

little child pute Ita hand into the.

mother*t. Tbelilind man teekt tome

one with good eyet to lead him. In-

experience lookt to expoienoe. But

humaa guidance it Inadequate. It le

thort tighted, and cannot know cer-

tainly what it beet. It It ignorant,

and may mltlead unwittingly. Wrong

advice, though meant for good, hae

wrecked many a life deetiny. Even

love may guide fatally. Peter, ia hll

Impultlve warm-hewtedneta, would

have turned Jetut away from his

orott. Man/timet human love hae

held back iu dear onee from patht of

tacrifice, hardthlp and low ^ h k h

were the dlvlndy ordained p ^ ' f o r

thote feet. Human gtiidiuide It abl

enongh. W e waat tomething tru«r,

wlter, tafer, tomething infallible.

And that it Jutt what we have attured

to ut in thit promite of divine direc-

tion.

There it a condition,—we mutt ac-

knowledge the Lord in all our wayt if

we would have hit direction. Mott

of ut acknowledge the Lord in tome of

onr wayt. W e turn to hhn in the time of

great.trialt. or In aora danger^^^-Bven

tooflcn and athelett have been known

In the moment of peril, at in a ttprm

at tea, to fall upon their kneet and.

call updn God for help. Tbe mott un-

godly people, when alarming tlcknett

It upon them, or when death ttaree

them in the feoe, want to take hold of

the hand of God. There are none of

ut who do not at oertaln tlmee crave

the divine direction and help. But

the condition of our promite readt,

••In all thy wayt acknowledge him."

Ferhape we acknowledge God in

aplrltnal thlngt. but thut him out of

the other part of our life. W e talk to

him about our toult, but not about

our daily work, our week-day Ufe.

What did you pray for yetterdayf

Did you men ulk to God about your

.bualoeat, your buying and telling,

your farm work, your common taak

work? Did you women pray about

your boutehold affaire, aaklag God to

help you keep tidy hornet, to train

your chlldreii well, to be tweet tem-

pered, gende, patient, tiioughtful?

Did you young people talk with God

about your etudlet, your amutcnentt,

your frlendthlpt, your bookt? W e

make a mlttake when we take God la-

to our oountel In any mere teolioB of

our life. Some one hat taid, •'Sieb
