The weekly sentinel. [volume] (Winston-Salem, N.C.) 1886-1887, 1886-10-07

In youth we squander golden hours,
Nor heed the time;
In manhood, waste the precious powers
Of our prime;
In age through darkness trembling grope,
With haggard look.
To find what should have been youths hope
In Gods own book.
In youth we idly dream and play
Unconscious all;
In manhood throw bright gems away
Invaluable;
In age we stint with pains to save
The remnants few
We stint in vain, the eager grave
Will have its due.
The stream of life for some may run
As smooth as glass;
But when it nears the setting sun,
How rough, alas!

VEGETABLES.
The vegetable department was we'll

part of the work of the farm is meet

demands. AS in the fruit department
the exhibitors were numerous, and
most likely we have omitted some

have been inserted, but it is as per-

Neck and Neck.

This play will be rendered at
Opera House on Wednesday OF next
week. The Cincinnati Commercial
Gazette says:
The management of this little gem
Of theatre regaled his patrons last
night with glimpse of an old and de-
cidedly favorite actor in sensational
melodrama Of the ultra stripe, Mr.. E.
i. Stetson appearing in "Neck and
Neck" Mr.. Stetson has not played
in this city for many years, but that
he was remembered is attested by the
hearty reception given him last night,
in which the large audience endeavor-
ed to show its appreciation of an old
footlight favorite. Both the star and
play have been before our theatre
going public in years gone by. New
ertheless they have both improved
vastly. Mr.. Stetson's Walter Will
marth is vigorous creation, invested
with an intensity at times so very
natural as to become positively pain
full. This is noticeably the case in
the hanging scene, by the way most
striking counterfeit of the actual op-
Grafton. The play itself is one of
strong situation, of a highly sensation
al character but, taken all in all, it is
infinitely superior to many pretentious
melodramas that have been presented
to our public with faults CLOSED over
with an elaborate scenic disguise.
The company supporting Mr.. Stet'
son is very capable one, and has
several very pretty faces among It's
lady numbers. Mr.. James E. Nelson
as Jim Johnson, and George Oder, an
excellent comedian, as Curtis Pump
kin, gave effective characters. The
Carrie Freeland of Miss Hannie In
CHAM, Tennie of Miss. May Hosmer,
and Peg by Miss Millie Willard, were
all acted cleverly. The execution
scene, the lightning express train at
full speed, were most realistic, and
ELECTED vociferous applause. The
play will be continued Though the
week, with the usual matinees, and
from last nights reception the success
of star and play is assured. See ad.

session of the annual meeting of the Ameri
can board Of commissioners for foreign mis-
sions was held in the Grand opera hous
Including the delegates, the meeting has
attracted fully loco visitors from all parts
of the United States This large attend
ance is due to the fact that the greatest
crisis in its history is about to be faced.
The board is called upon to put itself
squarely on record on one of two questions,
first, "Does probation end with lifeH or,
second, ''Can a person who has not received
religion in this world be saved in the world
to come"
Delegates to the gathering who have been
interviewed manifest an extreme reticence
to discuss the matter prematurely, but all
agree that warm debate is inevitable. An
impression prevails that the new departure
people are in a minority, and should the
board sustain the old theology, it is admitted
that numerous Withdrawals will be in
evitable in the Congregational denomina-
tion. Each local church is an Independent
body simply uniting for the common object
of fellowship and purity Of doctrine. Moth
ing, therefore, Van be forced upon any
church A very prominent member of the
denomination and a delegate to the meeting
put the matter in this form in conversations
"If Professor Egbert z. Smyth, the princis
pal champion of the new doctrine, and his
friends are beaten and then persist in their
dogma in spite of the majority, they will be
withdrawn from fellowship. If, OH the
other hand the new dogma carries, then
the opposition party will withdraw from
fellowship of its own accord"
Foreign Secretary DR.. N. G. Clark, Of
