VI. OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION.

The object of interdenominatlonal or.
ganized Sunday-Schoo1 work, as promoted
by our State, county and township associ-
atoms, may be indicated by seven Els:
I. EVAPORATION of every school district
of every township of every county by a
house to house visitation for the purpose OF
2. ENLIGHTENMENT as to the actual
religious status, number of persons not IN
any Sunday School and not under the
influence of the Bible, the neglected n
needy districts O localities, and places
where new Sunday Schools can be estab-
1ished. in order that this reliable lnforma-
ton NAV be the basis of intelligent action
and result in the
: ENLISTMENT of the Christians OF
every name in a cooperative endeayor to
gather into the Sunday Schools OF our
various denominations the thousands IN
each county now growing mp without a
knowledge of God and His Word
4. ENCOURAGEMENT. By standing to-
pether in a common Il every scnooi
and every worker is encouraged. BY
counseling together difficulties are sur
mounted. Exchange of plans stimulates
the work.
:. ENTHUSIASM. Enthusiasm IS neces-
sarv to the success of any great work An
individual in a corner does not eutnuse
The Durham daily globe. (Durham, N.C.) 1889-1894, 1894-05-15
II. WHAT IT DOES.

I. CONVENTIONS. Aids in conducting
and making efficient the annual conven-
ton Of every county, and many township
conventions. By these conventions
work along all lines is stimulated, neglect
ed portions of each county are revealed,
reports of progress are made, and the
workers are aroused to greater zeal and
activity.
2. NORMAL INSTITUTES. Conducts nor
NAL institutes i'll the various districts In
the interest of teacher-training and better
Sunday-School work.
!. FACTS AND FIGURES. Gathers the
facts and figures for, and publishes the
only Report of all the Sunday Schools of
the State, giving the figures of each de-
nomination separately.
4. UNCONVENTIONAL OPPORTUNITY
AS no UNCONVENTIONAL reports are made
there, this Report by the State Association
affords the only opportunity for each de-
nomination to have its work show before
the International and Worlds Sunday
School Conventions.
<. INTERNATIONAL STANDING. Main
tains the only organization in the State,
delegates from which, in common with
those of like associations IN the other
States and Provinces, constitute the Inter
national Convention, which inaugurated
! and maintains the International Lesson
System. Only through the North Carolina
State Sunday-Schoo1 Association can per
sons in this State be made delegates to the
International and Worlds Sunday-School
Conventions.
E. UNCONVENTIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Advocates the establishment of denom1-
national Sunday Schools, and advises
union schools to become denominations
schools as soon as practicable.
7. UNCONVENTIONAL HELP. By every
means in its power, seeks to stimulate the
work for the Master by all denominations
and it is but the simple truth that the de
nominations having the largest num6e:
of persons interested in this co-operat1v'
endeavor are doing the most successful
church work.

JUDGE DisGRACED THE BENCH.
The Trial of Prussiar EG;tars in Berlin
Aroused Public Indignation.

BERLIN, May 15.-The Brausewetter
scandal has assumed national dimen-
sions. Few persons hesitate to say
that the judge disgraced the bench by
usurping the functions Of the ~prosecut-
ing attorney in the trial of Pruss.an
editors last week, and the newspapers
throughout the empire agree as rarely
before. IN admonishing the govern
men to act quickly in response to puo-
lie opinion. The popular agitation has
increased in the last three days until it
promises to raise the most important
political questions in both Landtag and
Reichstag. Not only is a reform of ju-
dicial methods called for, but the
greater freedom of the press also from
police restraint is demanded as an i'm
mediate necessity. Saturday h Ber-
lin association of solicitors and Kings
cCunSelS sent to the ministry
of Justice a memorial, affirming
that both Brauswetter and the Crown
prosecutor violated the rules OF profess
sional etiquette by their conduct during
the trial of the editors, most notably IN
treating the defendants counsel with
studied disresrect. The memorial also
declares tina it will be impossible to
elicit the truth in any case If the prac-
tees of distorting evidence and repress-
ing counsel in the defense OF clients be
allowed. While the members of the
Berlin bar show their determination tC
vindicate their own peoples rights, the
journalists and publicists consider
Brausewetter's sneering remarks about
the newspapers more as an attack upor
the rights of a free press. A meeting
has already been called for "Wednesday
at the journalists club to protes'
against the license allowed the courts
and police in dealing with the news
papers and the general public.

u,nsea1; o can a ION school enjoy he
enthusiasm that results in the congrega-
ton of those of like mind for a common
purpose. Reports of progress, of increased
and improved work, and of success and
blessing, greatly cheer all, and keeps the
enthusiasm aglow which helps to main
tain the interest i'm the work.
6. EDUCATION. BY conventions and in
stitutes the work is greatly improved and
extended, the workers are trained for ser
vice, and the teachers are better fitted to
impart a knowledge of the Word of God.
By organization the State Association
seeks to make effective a plan which pro
vides a course for the systematic study OF
the Bible in preparation for the work I
teaching the Sunday-School lesson.
?. CHARACTERIZATION. To this all else
leads, for this all is done. To bring the
! lost to a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ,
is to evangeiize our county, our State, our
country. With organization we can better
advance education; and with education
we can best promote evangellzation.

MURDER OF AN AGED LADY.

NAKED in a Foul and Brutal Murder.

The Crimes of Fulton County, Georgia, SIl'
NAKED in a Foul and Brutal Murder.
ATLANTA, Ga, May 15.-In her quiet
home. about three miles from the city,
on the road to Westview cemetery,
Mrs. Mary Lilly, the mother OF n
weil-known musicians, was strangIed
to deate at a late hour Saturday night.
When the discovery was made a PAIR
of tongues rested against her neck,
showing that such was the instrument
by which the fonl deed was consul
mated
A more repulsive tragedy has never
been committed in Fulton county. The
prominence of Mrs. Lilly and the stand
which her sons have taken in the ccn-
munity, coupled with her advanced
| age, gives to the tragedy a darker o
oring and will send a shudde this
| morning over the entire city.
Suspicion is strongly fastened upon a
NEGRO man, and all Of the circumstance
confirm the probability Of his guilt.
The negro was an occupant OF the
house. and was employed by Mrs. Lilly
in the o~peration OF her small truck
farm. A white man by the name o:
MIR. Snead is also employed and resides
in = small clubhouse in the rear Of the
yard.
Money was the cause of the tragedy
It was rumored that Mrs. Lilly was
woman of considerable wealth am
that she kept her money in the house
She resided alone with no one on tn
place except her two employed assist
ants. and was about IS years OF age.
Everything in the house, at the tim
the discovery was made, had been com
pletely glutted, Drawers were tori
open, locks priced from their fasten
ings, clothes piled up in huge masse
on the floor and the interior O
the house was a perfect scene OF beWl
derment and confusion.
The body of the murdered Woma
was stretched on the floor OF tn
kitchen, her head resting against tn
leg of the table and her feet polnte
towards the open door. 1t was
ghastiv scene and the horror of the pi'
=, ture herUars description.

for the ensuing week, and in some re-
spects, perhaps, the only large gather
inc announced. The Country Club has
it's ups and downs like other less fash
iOnable bodies, but the worst ordeal 1t
has undergone has been bad weather
on the dates set apart for ceremonlOus
occasions at the club house. Suburban
delights are just in line this weather,
and the coming two Wednesday teas
will be doubtless all that their project
ors hope for in the way of weather and
fashionable attendance.
1t would be considered a very unln-
teresting week indeed in this city which
Wa not seasoned by a charitable en-
tertainment. This week for every day
their is some sort of out of town fete

fete and will be gwen at Mr.. John H.

Nineteenth street and Boundary, from
4 to : o'clock, for the benefit OF the
Children's Hospital.
1t has been hastily gotten up, bu'

that. Mrs. E. Francis Riggs, Mrs. ;
