TRINITY SERVICES.

At Trinity church yesterday Rev. j.
II. Hall delivered an excellent sermon
with Abraham's sacrifice of Isaac as
his subject. lie drew for his congre-
cation instructive lessons in faith, de-
termination and obedience from this
trying ordeal ia the Oh partriarch's
life.
This was the last Sabbath in the CON
ference year. Mr.. Hall, who left yester-
day to attend the conference at Eliza
beth City, has been pastor of Trinity
for two years and has done a noble
work. The people of his congregation
are almost unanimous in their desire
that he shall return.
In this desire they are joined by a
large number of our people of all de-
nominations, who knowing this big
hearted preacher as a man, are very
fond of him.
At night Rev. T. A. Boone, ST., of the
Western North Carolina Conference,
occupied this pulpit and preached a
plain, practical gospel sermon on how
to be good. The subject was handled
in an unique manner, and the congre-
CATION was delighted as well as edited
by this effort of their former pastor.

a New York exchange says; Former

That is the remarkable fact which will ap.
pear in the forthcoming report of Warden
Hayes, of the Kings county penitentiary.-
To be more explicit, there are now within
the cold gray aud black walls of that insti-
tuition seven men who, when, arrested for
embezzement of depositors' funds were
presidents of national banks; twelve men
who, when rounded up in career of crime
by the strong arm of the law, were honored
aud respected cashiers of national banks,
and forty nine other men who were trusted
clerks or telers in banks of the same class.
The percentage of former bank officials
at Albany, Erie, Detroit aud Saltwater will
average the same as at the Kings county in
stitulion The total number of bank de-
faulers, embezzlers and wreckers formerly
connected with national banks alone will,
therefore, approximate $40 or about one.
sixth of the total number of federal prison.

''As the commitments call for hard labor,
there is nothing for the warden to do but to
put them into the shop. Men who daily

are now Gaming chairs. Able financiers,
with valuable views on bond issues and pop.
ular loans, are becoming de.t in the manip-

themselves to the limit of the privileges
given for letter writing. They are, as a

punishment, and are disposed to make the
best of the situation, and lose no chance for

4 Lesson and Rebuke.

A distinguished preacher has told Of a
lesson aud rebuke which he received from
a simple hearer. She had experienced so
great benefit from a sermon of his that,
CHANGING some time aflerward TO receive
a visit from him in her own home, she
told him how much his message had been
blessed to her soul He asked her what
the text Of the sermon had been but she
was unable 10 remember. Somewhat au
noyed, be asked her to tell him what had
been the subject but this also had com
pletely escaped her memory.
His suspicious were now thoroughly
aroused, aud he demanded how that could
have been blessed to her so much Of which
she recolIecled so little. She still, how
ever, adhered to the statement that the
impression of blessing remained bright
aud strong in her feeling, though her
memory had let the letter entirely escape ;
and her ready wit enabled her to demon
siraie on the spot how this could be.
Taking him outside the house to a
green where some clothes, which had been
washed, were lying perfectly dry in the
summer sun, she pointed to them and
said, you believe that these were dreDch-
ed with water Yesterday"
"Yes," he said, cot course"
But look" she said, there is not one
drop of water in them now; they are as
dry as they can be"
Yes" he said, "the water has COM
pletely evaporaled.'
"Yet," said she, "it has done them good,
though they now retain none of it,
ooh, yes" said he, "it has made them
while as snow"
"Well," she added, though every word
of your sermon has left lett my memory,
| know | am still profliug by it. for it
has sanctifed my soul"
1t was an unanswerable argument; and
it shows that.the truth in passing through
the mind, may leave something better be-
hind than even deposit of conviction,
namely, deposit of character.

Never Before So Much Money.

The Philadelphia Record says Nothing
better shows the absurdity Of the contention
Of the advocates Of unlimited silver coinage
Ihst the fall Of prices the world over has
been due to the appreciation Of gold than
an appeal to the statististics of production.
Mr. Carlisle showed in bis Memphis speech
that the production OF gold alone at this
time is greater per capita than was the pro-
duction OF gold and silver in the decade
that ended with the yeur 1900. Never be-
lnre in the history of the world was there
50 much gold or 30 much legal.tender silver
money in circulation as at the present time.
rhe phenomenal increase in silver produc-
lion should not divert attention from the
fact that the gold supply is also more abun-
dant than ever before. But the disparity
IN the increase Of production between the
two metals is better illustrated by the fol.
lowing figures, showing the percentage Of

Bu both must sink beneath the wave;
The rescue came, but all too late
Their doom was sealed, theyd met their

To show their love- aud drop tear
Ger those in youth and beauty's pride.

From sorrow dire found no relief,

And list the message from on high.

And in that bright and happy land,
They look and watch. and longing wait,
To welcome you at Heavens gate.

Like Another Land.

After spending twenty years IN the
Stale prison in Lansing, Kan, where they
were shut entirely from the world, two
convicls named Winner and McNuit were
recently set at liberty. So completely is
olated had they been during their long
confinement that when they walked out
of the prison free men they could scarcely
realize where they were. Everything
seemed new and strange to them. Some
of the questions they asked upon emerg-
ing into the outer world were peculiar iu-
deed.
"See," cried Winner, the more demon
stralive of the two. "There is q town |!
There was no town here when went in. "
They were told it was Lansing. Lets
not 90 there" said Winner. IL want to
20 over to those woods" McNutt agreed,
aud they went over to a thicket by the
roadside. The TWO came across cow
lis that a cow p said Winner, hesitating
y. Don't go on. Let me look at 1t.
And he circled around the animal much
as a man examines a lion in Barnums.
Then he approached her limorousIy, and
laid his hand upon her back. This" he
said "is the only COW | have seen in
twenty years"
A little later they met flock of geese.
Look = said Winner again. Tell me,
| really don't know, are those geese or
ducks?' He was told they were geese and
he tried to pet them. Winner" said
McNutt, moment later, "what is that
scent Do you smell ~" Yes, ii must
come from those flowers" Both men de
scended upon au eIderberry bush and
stripped it Of its blossoms. They were
like two litlle children. They picked
every flower they saw and carried it with
them.
"See here" cried Winner, "here is
good old milkweed. How green aud
beautiful il is !" And be plucked it and
added it to his armful of variegated veg.

slowly and deliberately, edo you notice
how queer it is to talk loudly How queer
the words come? | wonder if | could
sing" 81 guess not, said Winner. He
did not try.
Both men curiously felt the bark Of
every tree they came upon. Finally with
their arms filled high with green twigs
aud flowers, they went to the hotel in
Lansing, where breakfast was waiting for
them. Winner drank three cups Of coffee.
How nice it is" he said, "to have sugar
in your coffee Aud cream, too! Think
of that - How does the butter strike
YOU p he was asked. ooh, we'll, said
Winner, Il m used TO that. we had put
ter every Fourth of July" Later they
paid a visit to Kansas City, where they
asked questions about everything they
saw. They marveled at the high build
ings and stared in astonishment at the
street cars running along without any Wis
ible signs Of propulsion.
Winners folks are wealthy. among the
most wealthy in Kansas City. and he went
at once 10 their palalial home, where be
was received with open arms. McNutt
has 40 one to whom to 90. His old moth
er still lives in Nova Scotia and is still
very poor. Winner was l9 when he went

oats Win Tmrn to Cheat.

The old controversy among farmers as
to whether wheat or oats will turn to
cheat or chess has been revived by the
experiments of number of farmers with
winter oats in Kent county, Nd. 1t was
determined last year to give the profta-
bic cultivation a thorough and practical
test, it having been claimed that in this
latitude they would winter kill, A nun
Der of gentlemen secured seed oats from
Virginia, and, though it has been clearly
demonstrated that what oats they got will
stand Kent county winter without an
exception the oats have turned out nearly
all cheat or chess. The general outlook
in every case of those who have oats is
for fue crop, but the unlimited quanii-
ty of cheat has blighied the prospects in
many Instances Many intelligent far
mers claim tn; wheat aud oats do turn
to cheat. 1t i claimed that one gentle
man counted i number Of grains of
wheat, sifted a box of soil aud placed it
on top of his house, and at the time for
harvest nearly half Of the crop was cheat.
Many others, however, combat this idea.
It is told that one farmer Of Quaker
Neck, basing his hopes upon the infaIli-
bility of a change, seeded cheat, expecting
It to turn to wheat, but it failed 10 turn.
BE the case as it may, the appearance OF
cheat or chess has resulted in loss to some
of the Kent county farmers.
