wOmen's Baptist Convention.

In July 1895 there was call made
to the Baptist women of the State of
Virginia in behalf of the Virginia Sem
mary at Lynchburg, Va.
In answer to that call WOmen's
Baptist Convention viii convene at
the Virginia Seminary, September 9th
and 18th. Alldelegates and other per-
sons wishing 60 attend this convention
will leave Richmond on Friday morn
ing. September 9th at $3.50 A. NJ, on
the eastern division of the @ & o. r.
r. They Will also be cared for at the
Seminary building free Of all charge.
/ am quite sure that many Of our Bap-
list sisters viii avail themselves of
this excellent opportunity of visiting
Lynchburg and also aid IN organizing
a much needed work.
In other states the Baptist women
are doing a great work while the wom-
en- of Virginia have made but little
progress in this direction. This school
was organized and built under the
auspices Of the Virginia Baptist State
Convention, and now the indebtedness
is so great, the ministers are calling
on the sisters to organize and help
them.
Delegates will be present from Nor
folk. Portsmouth, Hampton, Danville
and other places Tickets only 500
for round trip. Good for 10 days.

LIES great fight who proceeds Upon !
the dangerous method OF shiftlessness,
letting problems come TO the front |
previous calculations and |
shaping OF plan of procedure, how
to meet, deal with and solve such prob
lens. We have for examples such
men as Douglass, Grant, and Reveis
who with careful planning have scaled
the highest pinnacle of fame. Men
do better things and work at a higher
level when they cooly determine what
they are going TO do, than when they
let daily circumstances determine il
for them by piece meals. 1t is safer 20
work by calculation than by caprice,
and II il is one, it will be the other.
Plan intensifies Assurance Of pur-
pose makes our work solid and consec-
utive. Plan concentrates energies as

|Shiftlessness is only another name for
aimlessness. Purpose directs energy

we think we can Power is with a good

OLD POINT AND HAMPTON, VA. =

SEPTEMBER 81, '95.--In order that we
may succeed in life's battle, we must
plan. Every successful worker maps
out carefully beforehand what they
propose to do. Chance, the possibil-
tiles of circumstances, the expectation
that the genius Of the moment will be
sufficient are not to be relied upon by
man looking for success. The cool
brain, the determinate purpose, the
intelligent planning are essential in
the field of triumph. Minutely pre-
pared out lines of work are necessary
in the pastors career as well as in that
of the politician, merchant or profess
sor. Haphazardness is destructive.
Inspiration of the hour is courted too
much. The best work is accomplished
when weeks of earnest preparation
have been spent. No man is safe in

Our journey now is ended,
And our steps at last descended
To the valley, where they tended,
Where the twilight shadows fall
We have reached-by faith inspired
The sweet haven we desired,
And we do not feel so tired
After all
Though the way was dark before us
And the tempest gathered Ger us,
Yet. the faith within us bore us
Through whatever did befal;
Though with sorrow-having met her
Oft we supped, and felt her fetter,
Yet we feel the end is better
After all
We have now no cares to bind as;
Though the wayside past remind US
OF the Joys we left behind US,
When the leaves of autumn fall;
Yet, we look not back in sadness,
And we murmur not in madness,
For our grief hath brought US glad
ness
