ARE THE LORDS IN JEOPARDY.

Dissolution Of Parliament is a
foregone conclusion, and the
parties will go to the country
with the Lords as the issue.
The Liberals will not insist on
the adjustment of the Upper
House, but on the curtailment OF
its veto power. This is in the
nature of a .'straddle," if an
Americanism is permissible in
speaking of British politics, and
chances are that the Liberals
will get worsted. If there is
anything in signs, the time is
ripe for the wiping out of heredi-
tary legislations, and the radical
element of the Liberal party will
be satisfied with nothing short
of that. Earl Rosebery is try
ing to- stand with a foot in either
camp, and the world is expect
ing to see him fall down"

GENERAL D. H. Maury's Rec
objections of Virginian"i is being
kindly received by the press. A
large portion of the volume, of
course, is devoted to the war, and
contains fresh and interesting
subject matter. For instance,
we are informed that but for the
influence of his wife General
George Fl. Thomas would have
cast his fortunes with the South.
Maury's story about the Virginia
grand dame who had been re-
duced by the war to keeping
boarders is worth reproducing.
Nancy" said she to her house
keeper, ''there's nothing in the
house but mush for dinner. Give
that to my boarders. If they are
Christians they will eat it and be
thankful; if they are not, it is
much better than they deserve

M. Jules Simon, in the London
Contemporary ReuieU for May,
makes an eloquent plea for the
disarmament of Europe. The
world, he says, is at peace-pro-
found peace. The new allies,
like the old ones, aim only at in
surfing peace. France has learned
wisdom at her own expense, and
self-control and self-restraint.
Thermilitary service from which
no citizen is exempt is no more
interruption, no three years
parenthesis. A man does moi
come out of it the same as he
went in. The artists hand is
grown clumsy; the morals of the
young priest are impaired. Me1
refuse to go back to labor on thu
land. They enter the regimen
as country folk; they leave i

The details of the earthquake
in Veuezeula and Columbia, as
furnished to the State Depart
ment by Consul PlNmacher have
a grewsome interest. A thrill of
a very uncomfortable nature
spreads over the spinal radii
when we read that the earth
opened and gulped down a town
and that stygian waves now roll
over the houses and the jewellers
therein. The appeal to the United
States for aid should not and will
not go UNDECIDED.

VI. OBJECT OF ORGANIZATION.

The object of Observation-Disclosures or
gained Sunday-Schoo1 work, as promoted
by our State, county and township associ-
ations, may be indicated by seven Els:
I. EXPLORATION 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 no under the
influence of the Bible, the neglected and
needy districts or localities, and places
where new Sunday Schools can be estab-
1ished, in order that this reliable informa-
ton may be the basis of intelligent action
and result in the
3. ENLISTMENT of the Christians of
every name in a cooperative endeavor to
gather into tie Sunday Schools of our
various denominations the thousands in
each county 10Y growing up without a
knowledge of God n His Word.
81. ENCOURAGEMENT. By standing to-
gether in a common cause every school
and every worker is encouraged. By
counseling together difficulties are sur
mounted. Exchange of plans stimulates
the work.
S. ENTHUSIASM. Enthusiasm is neces-
sarY to the success of any great work. An

V. HOW IT IS SUPPORTED.

I. Its first and chief support is lifetime
and talent devoted by the voluntary SER
vices of all its officers.
2. The means freely given by these
same brethren and a number of other
Christian business men who are contribu-
tors to the SPECIAL SUBSCRIPTION, which
aims by a given number of 500, $50, $25,
$40 and S. subscriptions to raise at least
5000 annually.
5. The voluntary contributions of the
Sunday-Schoo1 officers, teachers and schol-
ars of the State on ANNUAL OFFERING
DAY first Sunday in May, or upon the
next most convenient Sunday. It is sug-
gested that each person be afforded an
opportunity to make an offering of at
least five cents a year for the work. It is
hoped that the appreciation of the work
will grow until all schools enjoy a partici-
patton IN the annual Offering.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-05-24

INDIVIDUAL IN a corner does not
himself; nor can a lone school enjoy the
enthusiasm that results in the congrega-
ton of those of like mind for a common
purpose. Reports of progress, ofincreased
and improved work, and of success and
blessing, greatly cheer all, and keeps the
enthusiasm aglow which helps t main
tain the interest in 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 of
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 evangelize our county, our State, our
country. With organization we car better
advance education; and with education
we can best promote evangelization.
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-05-24
VII. co-opERAT1oN-NoT UNION.

The State Sunday-Schoo1 Association
makes no plea for union of schools or
churches OF creeds. 1t desires, particu-
lar1y in its active ranks, the strongest
champions of their respective creeds in
the various evangelical denominations.
And it simply seeks to lave these sit down
in council together for a fair look at the
field as it actually is; to devise ways to
carry the gospel to the neglected districts
to reach the million unsaved souls, particu-
larry the youth of the State; to urge each
other to cooperate in holding these coun-
ellis or conventions in the interest of the
great work, and to encourage all to go
back to their own denominations, and ac-
-cording to such ways as are approved by
their respective churches; to reach out a
longer and stronger arm, until the fields
actually cultivated shall touch each other,
and there shall not lie between a emo
mans 1and' where immortal souls are
dying without Christ.

". WHAT IT PROPOSES TO DO.

I. EXECUTIVE OFFICE. Establish an
Executive Office to thoroughly systema-
tie and economic in the work.
2. MONTHLY PAPER. Publish a month
1y Sunday-Schoo1 paper solely in the
interest of the cooperative organized
Sunday-School work.
3. SUPERINTENDENT AND FIELD
AGENTS. Employ a State Superintendent
and competent Field Agents, chosen from
different denominations, to promote the
work throughout the State,
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-05-24
VIII. SOME OBJECTIONS ANSWERED.

I. "My hands are too full" to engage in
the work, say some Pastors. 1t is not
only the object, but is the result of the
movement, to develop workers to aid in
church and Sunday School, that our busy
Pastors may not be SO sver-burdened.
The kiAd1y counsel and approval and di-
r~ection, rather than work, is what the
movement looks to the Pastor for.
2. "The~ denominations ought to do the
work" Yes, there are nearly a half mill
lion of the youth alone of this State still
outside of the Sunday School; and this
movement is to keep us all aroused to do
more to reach them. We are the denomi-
nations. So long as there is an unsaved
soul there is room for added effort in
Christ's name.

ship to sit down with us and tell us how

This is the sum and substance of all we
ask. Unscriptural! Jesus said: "That
they all may be me-; as thou, Father, art
in me, and I in thee, that they also may
be Il in us; that the world may believe
that thou hast Sent me."-John 1921.

III. WHAT IT DOES NOT.

I. Exercises no authority.
2. Levies no taxes or assessments.
3. Formu1ates no creed.
q. Organizes no Sunday Schools leaves
this for the workers of the various denomi-
nations in each locality to determine upon
and do.
S. Publishes no lesson literature for
sale, and leaves all exposition of Scripture
to the denominations.
g. Does not advocate union Sunday
Schools, aud favors them only where, and
so long as, there cannot be denomina-
tional schools.
7. Antagonizes no denomination in any
way whatever.
s. Never knowingly allows any a~ssocia-
ton meeting or convention to interfere
or conflict with any church service or
other UNCONVENTIONAL gathering of any
kind.
SO. Does not assume that its Annual
Statistical Report of the Sunday Schools
of the State is a record of the Associa-
TONS work. It is a report of the work
being done by all the denominations, and
the Association complies aud publishes it
for the benefit of them all,
Goldsboro weekly argus. [volume] (Goldsboro, N.C.) 1885-1909, 1894-05-24
II. WHAT IT o

I. CONVENTIONS. Aids in conducting
and making efficient the annual conven-
tion of every county, and many township
conventions. By these conventions the
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 in the various districts in
the interest of teacher-training and better
Sunday-School work.
3. FACTS AND FIGURES. Gathers the
facts and figures for, aud publishes the
only Report of all the Sunday Schools of
the State, giving the figures of each de-
nomination separately.
q. 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
he International and Worlds Sunday
School Conventions.
s. 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.
6. UNCONVENTIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOLS.
Advocates the establishment of denoni-
national Sunday Schools, and advises
union schools to become UNCONVENTIONAL
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 number
of persons interested in this cooperative
endeavor are doing the most successful
church work.

An Awful Revenge.
TRAYS HER ACROSS THE OCEAN
AND PoIsoNs HIM.

A woman will love man SO de-
yotedly that giving up everything for
him is no sacrifice, but If that love is
scomed, and that love is scorned, and
her trust and faith laughed at, it turns
to a hate as deadly as that attributed
to the fiery blooded Corsican. Per.
haps Gena Sepal, handsome young
Italian did not think of this when he
won and then scorned the love of
Anna Villela, in sunny Italy, but he
now lies cold in death, victim of his
own wrongdoing and her revenge.
Two or three years ago Sepal, then
a jewelers. assistant in Naples, met
Anna Villela and won her love under
promise of marriage. Size gave up
everything for him but he postponed
the wedding from time to time, until
one day she gave birth to a child, and
when she appealed to him to make
his promises good he laughed, thrust
her from him and went away. But
hers was violent nature, and she
swore that he should never live to
make love to another woman. Fright
ened by these threats, Sepal fled to
America, and after a short time in
New York came on to Luzerne county
where he obtained work as night
watchman at mine in Exeter.
A few days ago strange woman
arrived at the mining village and in
quired for Sepal. Friends of his point
ed out his boarding house. The wo-
man went there but Sepal being
asleep, she asked his landlady not 10
disturb him and inquired minutely in
to his habits, where he worked and
what hours he was on duty. She
then left, asking the landlady to keep
her visit secret. The landlady, how
ever, told Sepal when he awoke, and
the fellow at once OWNED that the
strange visitor was the girl he had
wronged. He went to work that
night as usual, taking his lunch in a
tin bucket. At a o'clock in the morn
ing he returned deathly sick. He ex.
planned that directly after eating his
lunch he began to suffer with severe
pains in his stomach and
made his way home as best he could
A physician was sent for but before
he arrived the unfortunate man was
dead. The physician said there was
every symptom of poisoning. Friends
of the man now believe that the wo
man watched him go to work, follow
ed, and seizing favorable opportunity
when he was making his rounds poi
soned his food. She has disappeared
