SINGING CONVENTION.
Sketch of the Recent COlOred Meet

Editor Press and Banner:
Please allow me space In your paper TO IN,
form It's many readers OF the Sixth Annual
Session of the Abbeville Singing Convention
which convened In Shady Grove y. NJ. f..
church, August II and Is.
The Convention WAS called to order by the
President at 1890 p. m. on Wedn esday. That
day was chosen to make preparations for the
singing which took place on Thursday
The name of the Convention was changed
10 Choir's Institute.
MrJ Il. Quarles was elected general super
intendent to visit the choirs OF Abbeville
Count ty in order that the work of the Insti-
ture may be enlarged and more progressive.
On Thursday at very early hour the
crowd began to gather, and In spite OF the In
clement weather many persons were present.
The President called the Convention TO order
and delivered his annual address for which
he received many amens and cheers. Mr..
Jas. NJ. Young, leader Of Shady Grove choir,
Prof. &. H. Henderson In behalf OF vocal mus
ic. The choirs which were represented were

Judges decided not to give prize.
Green Olive choir, which was Instructed
by Miss Hattie Donaldson. came IN looking
so sleepy and Ininterested that many thought
1t unnecessary to introduce 1t to the Conven
tion, but when said choir touched the chords
the music rose so soft and sweet until the
Convention stared and narveled. And IL was
further declared that 1t sang some of the
finest pieces OF the day; among which Drift
ing Away" was extra fine.
Also Shady Grove and st. Peters rendered
very fine music. st. Mary and Mt. Zion &C.
quilted themselves well.
There were one hundred and sixty vehicles

A Gem.

They are having great lawsuit in
Calcutta, in which the NiZam of Hy-
derabad, and other distinguished per-
sons, are contending for a piece of
property of fabulous price, if not Of
priceless value. Yet it is something
which contributes nothing to feed,
warm, or shelter human being. 1t
was on exhibition in Paris in 1889. and
so precious was it thought to be that it
was lowered in the ground every night
and locked behind an iron door. At
ter all, it is only a pebble weighing
about one.tenth of a pound; but it is
the great Imperial Diamond" so
chris'ened by the Prince of Wales
himself. 1t is the largest and most
beautiful of all the celebrated dia-
monds of the world. While the "Ko.
hinoor" weighs Jog carats, and the
"Regent" 1876, this one weighs $50 car
ats. About ten years ago it was cut to
its present form in Amsterdam. 1t re-
qured eighteen months and the skill
of three distinguished lapidaries.
Many distinguished persons, includ-
ing royalties, visited Amsterdam to
witness the process and sue the won
derful gem. And now it, is going
through legal process which may re-
quire more than eighteen months.
Well, what of it, This at least: If
little pebble is worthy Of SO much in
terest, labor, and strife, because kit
flashes forth the gem-fire of the dia-
mond, of what interest, labor, and
striving is, not the meanest man worthy
when irratliated by an immortal spirit?
If the imperial diamond is worthy to
be taken to Amsterdam, where they
lean skill to hew" such precious stuff,
and to demand a year and six months
If such labor in its fashioning, how
more worthy is the divine diamond Of
an immortal soul to be brought to the
New Jerusalem, where it shall be fash
ioned after the Chief Jewel of heaven!
If this blazing pebble is worthy of the
legal strife which shall tax the learn
ing, the patience, the justice, and the
skill of judges and great lawyers, shall
not the possession of the human soul
be taken before the judgment seat of
God, with Christ himself as advocate
for its royal claimant? o, there lis a
wonderful lesson in all this that far
outruns the limits of this article, Of
poem, or sermon, or parable of man.
Think of it, aud then think if no jew
ell of unspeakable value is given into
your keeping and for your fashion,

Putting on Christ.

No mans example will precisely fit
his felloWman; but thereis this strange
virtue about the character Of Christ,
that you may all initiate it and yet be
none of you mere imitators. He is per.
fectly natural who is perfectly like
Christ. There need be no affectation
no painful restraint, no straining. So
wonderfully is Jesus the second Adam
of the new born race that each mem
ber of that family may bear likeness
to Him and yet exhibit a clear -indi-
viduality. a man advanced in years
and wisdom may put Him on, and SC
may the least instructed and the fresh
est conner among us. Please remem-
her this: we may not choose examples,
but each one is bound to copy the Lord
Jesus. You have special personality
you are such person that there is moi
another exactly like you, and you are
in circumstances 50 peculiar that nc
one else is tried eXactly.as you are-tc
YOU, then, this eXhortation is sent
aPut We on the Lord Jesus Christ" II
is absolutely certain that for you, with
your personal singularity and peculiar
circumstances, there can be nothing
better than that you array yourself in
this more than royal robe. You, too
who live in ordinary circumstances
and are only tried by common temta
tiods, you are to ''put on the Lord Je
sus Christ" for He will be suitable fol
YOU also. 49," cries one, "but the
Lord Jesus never was exactly where
amp You say this from want OF knoT
ing better or from want Of. thought
He had been tempted in all points
like as you are. There are certain re
lationships which the Lord Jesus coult
not literally occupy, but, then, he tool
their spiritual counterpart. For in
stance, Jesus could not be q HUSBAND
after the flesh. Does anyone demant
how he could bean example for hus
bands? Hearken! Husbands, love
YOUR wives, even as Christ also lovet
the church and gave himself for it.
He is your model in relationship
which naturally He never sustained
but which in every deed He has more
than fulfilled. Wherever you may be
YOU will find that the Lord Jesus has
occupied the counterpart of your posi-
ton, or else the position is sinful ant
ought to be quilted. In any place, a
any hour.in any circumstances, in any
matter, you put on the Lord Jesus
Christ and never fear that your array
will be unsuitable. Rev. Charlie;

what i wife Can Do.

A lady once besought Mr.. Moody to
pray for her uncnnverted husband ,and
try to lead him to Christ.
"How long have you been married?',
asked Mr.. Moody. ... -. ...
"Twenty years, she replied.
"What have you done to bring him
to the Lord yourself?" ,la
~ have talked to him. I have pray
ed for him. have tried to get him to
join the Church."
And you have been his wife for
twenty years ?" o..
"Yes, SIR" %
"There must be something wrong
somewhere, said the evangelist. shak-
ing his head. "You ought 10 have got
him to the Lord before this time.
Have you always lived Christian life
before him ?" .e. tsI
"I'm afraid not, always"
"Have you ever got out Of humor
with him, and said spiteful thingsW
Eyes, very often"
And what did you do then? Did
you apologize, and tell him you are.
sorry for it ?"
"0h, no! I never did that. I
couldn't"
"Well. then, right there is where
the trouble is. 1t is not your husband
that 1 ought to pray for, but you.
When your heart once gets right, and
makes your life right, it won't be long
until God will get into the heart of
your husband"
And it wasn't long afterwards until
the prediction was fulfilled. The heart
of tie wife became full to overfowing
with the love of God, and her husband
was converted.

---Just in this connection we sug-

next day | met some Of those same
men at il Greek recitation. 1t would
be little to sayof some of the devoutest
of them that they had not learnt their
lessons. Their whole way showed that
they never learnt their lessons, that
they had not got hold of the.firSt prn-
ciples Of hard, faithful, conscientious
study. The devotion did not touch the
work which then and there was the
only work for them to do. By-and-by

did escape to. y sort of amateur, pre-
mature preaching was much in vogue

A Reading Lesson.-A duel was.
lately fought in Texas by Alexander
Shott and John S. Mott. Not was shot
and Shott was not. In this case it Is
better to be Shott than Mott. There was
a rumor that Not was not shot, and
Shot avows that he shot Mott, which
proves either that the shot Shott shot
at Not was not shot, or that Mott was
shot Notwithstanding. Circumstantiai
evidence isnot always good. It may
be made to appear on trial that the
shot Shot shot shot Mott, or, as acci-
dents with firearms are frequent. 1t
it may be possible that the shot Shott
shot shot Shott. himself, when the
whole affair would resolve itself into
its original elements, and Shott would
be shot, and Mott would be not, We
think, however, that the shot Shott
shot shot not Shott, but Not; anyway,
it is hard to tell who was shot.
This can be used as an exercise in
language. The lesson would be to
classify the shots and nots as action
words or names, giving reas ons for the
Observation-Disclosures School Jour-
mel.
