G. W. THOMPSON SON. A a rebel ilag to lunt within the confines or ncle Saiu domain is nothing short of a stupendous blunder that is likely to breed sad mischief. North C'arolinaians have managed to get their eyes off the detested negro long enough to discover that their mountains are full of tin.

Not by the dignified appearance you make in jour pulpit, not by your finely cut sentences, not by your flights of eloquence; though these ara not to be condemned, yet you may possess them all, and be as sounding brass and tinkling cymbals. But jou are measured rather by j-our holy lives, by your godly walk, and by the many that your earnest, zealous preaching influences to crj- out: Men and brethren, what must we do to be saved? While a conflagration was raging in one of our eastern cities, the cry of distress was heard in the person of a little child from an attic window of one of the tallest buildings. The firemen hastily spliced their ladders until" thej had a ladder reaching from the pavement to the window, and the captain commanded whom he thought was his bravest man to mount the ladder and save the child.

He did so, and when almost in reach of the child lie looked down and said his head was getting dizzj-. The crowd from below shouted back: 'Look up and we will cheer you. He looked up, the crowd cheered, and the child was saved. Brethren, immortal spirits are jer-ishing all around you, and the captain of your salvation, believing that you are his fittest men, has commanded you to flee to their i-escue; and while jou make the effort, look up. and we will cheer j-ou.

We'll iheer you by our prayers, we'll clieer you by our sympathy; we should cheer you by a heart j- co-operation with you in jour work of faith and your labor of love. The times demand of God's ministers that thej' be men of such sagacity, such prudence and such determination, that thej- can stand tirm-ly at the helm of the church and guide her safelj' through the breakers of in-fidelitj-; through the whirl pool of skepticism and through the quicksands of formalitj-. Men who shall ride on the verj crest of the wave of pi ogress; who shall roll on the verT first tide of emigration; men whose hearts shall burn with the tires ot ac- -tivity, and with a settled purK-e to go side bj- side with the spirit of the age, but only to chain that spirit to the right, the good and the pure; men who shall jearn to go where the spirit and long to do what the spirit fids; men who shall dwell in such an atmosphere of holj' love as to convince the world that the souls of jour fellow-men and the humanities of the age are near and dear to j'our hearts. Knowest tliou the value of a soul immortal? Behold the midnight glory worlds on worlds amazing p-uup; redouble this amaze, ten thousand add, add twice ten thousand mure, then weigh the whole; one soul outweighs them all.

Tojieka Herald. dost of a Wasted Life. A jirofessor of Bonn university, Germany, in tracing the posterity of habitual drunkards lias found 821 descendants from a woman who for forty years was a thief, a drunkard, and a tramp and whose miserable life came to an end in the last year of lie eighteenth century. The professor has tr; c-d the lives of 7h! of this woman's descendants from youth to old age and of these 142 were ljeggan and more lived cm charity. Amoug the women, 181 lived disreputable lives and there were in the family 7K convicts, including 7 murderers.

The professor estimated that in 75 years this family has cost the German government in almshouses, law courts, prisons and other institutions about $1.250.000. Kx. FAIRVIEW. James Sappenfield is hauling newr haj- to town. Bucklin and Sodville were well rcin-esented at Fairview Sunday.

DEVOTED TO RK- LIGION and TEMPERANCE. A Laymans Talk To Ministers. Brethren, the pulpit has too often been cowardly, or its true ring been muzzled and muffled because of a false public sentiment. This was once the case in regard to the sin of American slavery. Is it true of the desecration of the Holy Sabbath? Is it true of the liquor traffic? Is it true of the soul damning, the virtue blighting, the health destroying influence of the dance room? It is said of the fearless Peter Cartwright, that he was once filling the pulpit of a brother minister and when about to commence his discourse his brother cautioned him to be a little guarded in his remarks, as General Jackson had just entered the house.

Who cares for General Jackson said Cartwright. He will die and go to hell as quick as anj other man if he doesn't repent and be saved by the gospel of Christ. Score to the lineevery time my brethren regardless as to where the chips fly; and if the chips do ffv in our faces sometimes, it doesn't show unskillfulness in your scoring, but it simply shows that we are standing where we should not le, or the chips would not fly in our faces. You had better be right than with the majority. In the delivery'of your sermons, my brethren, if you have a first-rate sermon, prayerfully studied, carefully arranged, full of spiritual fatness, interesting to yourselves and manna to the souls of your people, preach it; preach it earnestly, preach it often; repeat it to the same congregation if you w-ish, and for one will rather enjoy its re production.

But if you have a poor sermon, prepared with undue haste, carelessly arranged, spiritually lean and gaunt, not interesting to yourselves, and a kind of a sweet, soothing innocent lullaby to your congregation, it matters but little whether you ever reach it or not. Better send it back to the Jewish Xadducees and let them bury it, as they have no faith in a resurrection. If, at the time and under the circumstances it is the lest possible thing you can do to read your sermon, then I would say read them. On this point I do not intend to give you any authority, for I dont know- of any. But it is my firm conviction, and my honest belief that the hearts of the people are easier reached by direct air line rather than by switching off onto extended manuscript and then try to reach them.

I think it is alright for you to have jour notes or briefs with you in your pulpits, but then I would have you use them just as you use kindling wood in your kitchens, simply to get the tire started. Then, with the holy unction tulTtTde, let the draft of i vine" hTV-ho fan the fires to a flame, till thoughts and words will spring forth from your hearts and lips, as free and as natural as sparks from the natural fires. The times call for an agressive ministry. Agressiveness sepms to be tin-ruling passion of the age as it lias been of all the ages past. It was this spirit that kept Columbus knocking at the door of royalty, for inen and ships to explore the world of waters until lie revealed to KurojHi a continent in equipoise to her own.

It was this spirit that prompted Franklin when he read philosophy by the sti-eet lamps, dieted upon bread and water, slept in the market places, but it won for him garlands, the threads of which were spun by the lightnings ot heaven. If, by cultivating this spirit properly and perseveringly such results are attained in the natural world, who can tell of its posibiliiies when sanctified und devoted to a holj puritose? And if Franklin could so utilize the electric current and electric influences of the eiheriul heavens, and with them so link the nations of the world together that they constitute, as it were, one family, and hold communion with each other, why may we not use the electric influence of the Holy Spirit in forming the most intimate relationship between God and our spirits, so that we may continually hold sweet eommuiou with him and with the son of his love? Don't spend too much time in our pulpits in arguing against the different dogmas and skepticisms of the day. You may make doubt conspicuous and dignify it too greatly, by producing arguments against it. But there is an argument in favor of Christianity thut jou can not produce too often. A soul taken from its natural corruption and from the cess'pools of iniquity to which iu its fallen nature it has gradually gravitated, and wa sited in whiteness; clad in brightness and transformed into tin nature and imam? of the world's redeemer, is an argument in favor of Christianity that a doubting, skeptical world can neither deny nor overthrow.

And why? Because it is an argument and work to which the Almighty -himself has set his seal that it Ls true, and that should be the conclusion of the whole matter, with every one who means to treat fairly and honorably this transcendantly important Brethren, you should be mihisters just such as the times demand. You are not called upon to do the work of a Wesley, or of Whitfield, or Luther, or any other man's work, whether of the past, present or future, but simply to do your own work, as God lays it down for you to do. having results with him in whose service you are. You should always remember, in times of stern realities, that.guus are not measured by their mounting nor by the glitter and show they make by their reflection of tle sun, but they are measured rather by the way they shoot, and by Next Sunday will be the longest day of the year and Sunday night the shortest night.

The Children's service at the Congregational church last Sunday was largely attended and highly enjojed. The children gave evidence of excellent training UDder the management of Mrs. VanHorue, Miss Birdie Small and W. F. Elland.

An excellent program was rendered and all seemed to be highly pleased. At the M. E. church next Sunday will be the regular Children's service. Extensive prepH ration Is being made and an enjoyable occasion is anticipated.

A cordial invitation is extended to all. Rev. G. D. Stromire who Is a graduate of the Bible department of the Canton Christian University, will give Bible Lessons either by correspondence of at his home.

The study by Periods group the books of tlie Bible into their natural periods and thus links the teaching of tile Bible -together.

Our township trustee should levy a tax of two millS for road purposes. This levy would give us a good road fund. Other townships have been making a levy of two mills annually, and as a result they have much better roads than DuckUn township. Birthday Party. Last Monday being Miss Lizzie Coghills's 15th birthday a large number of her young friends met at her home in the evening in honor of the occasion.

Tile evening was spent in playing various games and about ten o'clock ice cream and cake were served. Miss Lizzie was the recipient of many beautiful presents. About eleven o'clock the guests departed. pronouncing their hostess a royal entertainer and wishing her many happy returns of the day. The tent meetings are attended with much interest.

Rev. Gates has not informed us recently as to whether he will be here or not. Evangelist. Mrs. Nancy Mason from Oregon is preaching with power sent down from These meetings- will con- tinue as long as the interest shall demand.

Messrs Kea sling and Andrews are laboring with much interest, they are also visiting the people of Bucklin urging the salvation of the souls at every home some seem to regard this effort of little importance. Our prayes is that judgment light may shine into many darkened and benighted hearts or Bucklin and vicinity. The God of Moses, the God of Daniel, the God of Fentaeost Is the same today. We pray tip kingdom of the Devil may be defeated and the kingdom of our Lord Jesus Christ strengthened. Those who are interest ed in the Devils work look out for defeat.
