the American Baptist Education Society, read
his annual report He calls attention TO the
fact that this society, organized three years

its organization and work, was meeting TOT
the first time in connection with Inc Southern
Baptist Convention. The report opens WIN
expressions of fraternal greeting and earnest
,-ishes that the future of the society may
Weld rich fruits TO those two sections OF our
oreat country. A beautiful tribute IS paid 10
The memory of Hon II. X. Ellyson, who was
An active member of the executive board ana
who has died in the last year. honorable
mention is also made Of DR.. Boardman OF
Philadelphia, whose resignation leaves an
other vacancy and loss OF useful member

Gin. character and history Of the society.
Both in its membership and executive board
the society is thoroughly national. Delegates
have been sent from forty States IN the Union
and present q great gathering III the interest
Of great cause.
The society has laboriously gathered such
information concerning Baptist institutions of
learning as TO be able to know their condition,
need, work and influence. There are about
one hundred and forty of these, some with
greater, some with less, some with no endOw-
ments With this information IN hand the
society has set itself diligently 10 work 70
improve our denOminatlOnal condition IN edu-
catiOnal matters. This is done by strength
ening our colleges and academies, 50
as to give them greater working pow
ers. and even doing larger things where the
necessities of the case really de
manded Nearly all the gifts OF the
society have been based upon the condition
| of the people in given community raising
| another amount always equal. sometimes
much larger In this way thirty-four instltu'
| tons have received from the society the sum
| Of 500 $50, and have raised for themselves
| S1.165. 900. But its great work was in found
| ing the great Baptist University Of Chicago
with an endowment Of -, 250 000 Thus II
will be seen that the society has in It's short
| history of three years raised the sum Of nearly
! three and a half million dollars for educa-
tiona purposes.
The report makes favorable mention OF
several institutions oflearning in the North anC
| South. and expresses the hope Of being able
at no distant day of rendering many of then
valuable id. The society IS outlining it,
future work on a large scale and II destined
under God OF being great power Tor good IL
coming years.

COMING OCTOBER 18TH SURE.
The Great John Robinson Show to Be
at Henderson on That Oay.

1t is seldom that the people OF this
community have an opportunity of wit
Messing such ard interesting and in
struct:ve attraction as the John Robin
son show, which will exhibit here Mon
day, October 18th.
The John Robinson Shows sixty-seve
years of existence and fair dealing with
the people has won for it a reputation
that is unsurpassed both for rel:: ,ility,
quantity and quality. In presenting its
claims before the critical public the Fob
inson show uses nole but cold facts and
conservative statements. 1t will there
fore be impossible for the casual reader
Of the triumphs of this great attraction
to imagine with any degree of thorough
ness what a remarkable and entertaining
show it is. 1t is the primary aim of all
connected with this show to strictly ad-
here to the policy of honesty in all its
dealings, and this instruction is particu-
larly applied to the matter of adver-
Using.
The advance agents are energetic and
hard workers, and through efforts every
honorable method OF making known to
the peoDle of Henderson and the sur
rounding country the numerous features
OF the show have been adopted. 1t is as
!nuch better advertised than any other
show as it's super. ~ over them is ac-
knowledged, as is attested by the lead
ing newspapers OF the country, which
have columns OF matter teening with
complimentary notices of the show. The
following excerpt is from the Louisville
Courier Journal, of June ?, 1891:
John Robinson circus is here and it
has fulfilled its promises. The street pa
rade yesterday morning drew throngs of
admiring spectators to the line ofmarch,
aud determined thousands who had been
previously undecided to wend their way
to the vast canvasses to witness the per-
fOrmapceS.
The two performances given yesterday
were satisfying to the many thousands
who viewed Them. and the vast canvass
amphitheatre was crowded at an early
hour with an expectant multitude who
enjoyed the remarkable and bewildering
performance to the utmost, showing
their delighted approval by vociferous
company. The wonderful spectacle of
greatest of many features, and elected
the widest enthusiasm. On all sides to-
day is heard nothing but praise of the
excellent performances given yesterday.
The show was strictly according to the
bills. 1t began exactly on time and ran
through smoothly and satisfactorily to
the end, while the enjoyment was not
mar:ed by the impertinence of peanut
vendors Or other noisy Efforts to wiring
an additional dime from patrons, as has
been the custom with other shows here
tofore visiting Louisville.

A Play Well Presented.

One of the finest plays that has been
produced ia Burwel Hail Tor some time
was Jim, the Weste:le'," last nighc

where all were so good we should not
parjicular:ze, but at this hour we can
not give as .ull and detailed account
Of the play and the players as they
deserve. There is a veiu o" comedy

FIAT LUX.

Fat luz, the city fathers cried,
When lights were few and dim,
And none, at night. might walk or ride
Without risking life or limb.
Fiat lu1. ard all at once the ways
Where city fathers plod,
We're bright as day in the silver rays
OF the lighted lightning rod.
Howe'er remote from the heart Of town
A city fathers dwelling,
Electric lights On him look dOwn,s
All dangerous fears dIspelling.
Not so with ancient danes and those
Who dwell on Nicholas street;
For them no incandescence lows
TO guide their stumbling feet.
They walk the devious ways 10y night,
And i'll, indeed, they fare,
Walking by faith ard not by sight
To the f"r-Off house of prayer.
0 fathers, speak the word again,
With all ycdf telling powers;
Give Us of yous light, and then
Well give you more OF ours.

REV. THOMAS DIXON, JR.
What the Wilmington Papers Say Of
His Lecture ON "FOOls.''

Rev. Thomas, Dixon, Jr., delivered
his famous lecture on Fools" in the
city of Wilmington Tuesday night.
The Messenger of yesterday says this
Of it:
There are great lecturers in this
country, but if there is one who stands
pre-eminently conspicuous, that Ian
is Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr. No syn
opsis could do justice 10 such lecture,
therefore the reporter attempts none
Suffice it 20 say that all who heard him
were delighted with the superb, inim-
liable, humorous and pathetic lecture
as it was delivered by the great New
York preacher.
In his preliminary remarks he spoke
of his love for the State Of his nativity !;
how near ard dear it was to him, and
how fondlv he cherished it, After
happily abiding to home and the pleas
ant memories and associations, NJ.
Dixon then announced his subject as
= Fools" and for one hour and twen-
ty-fve minutes he held the audience
with his grand and matchless p:esenta-
ton of the various types of . cGools' of
to-day.
The subject would strike one as
being rather queer, yet in the way in
which he presented it, with his ga Id,
eloquent, humorous and pathetic illus
ira;ions it would thrill and stir the soul
Of the most hardened of human beings
The powers Of the orator, the force and
efficiency of the actor, and marvellous
Evolutionary gifts are all admirably
blended in the makeup of Rev. Thos.
Dixon, Jr.
When he would relate an incident in
his humorous style The audience would
be convulseG with laughter when he
would relate pathetic incident there
was silence that showed the audience
was touched with the matchless power
and deep emotion of the speaker.
AS a lecturer the reporter has never
heard his superior. He held his audi
ence from the opening to the close, as
if there was an electric chord that
touched the heart of each individual.
His gestures and facial expressions
were appropriate in an eminent degree
to what he was relating.
The following is taken from the
Star, of the same city
A large and cultured audience greet
ed the Rev. Thomas Dixon, Jr.. at the
Opera House last evening, to hear his
lecture on * Fools'' For an hour aud
half this young but celebrated Bap-
fist divine held the compete attention
of his hearers. From the beginning it
was recognized that he was man of
observation, study and reflection, and
gifted in the highest degree. His ideas
were original, aud varied from hard
solid sense, 10 wit, sarcasm and pathos,
which showed that he merited well the
great repu.at Oh that he has made for
himself in so short time.

D 'xon's lecture at Burwell Hall to
morrow friday evening. Secure your
