UPS AND DOWNS OF
 FOREIGN MISSIONS.

IFrom The Progress of the World iu the
 Review of Reviewsl
 The foreign missionary movement, like every great continuous enter prise, has it's times of prosperity and enthusiasm and it's seasons of hardship and apathy. Unquestion- ably the cause has in recent years lacked something of the undoubting loyalty and the ardor of support which the churches were giving it fifteen or twenty years ago. The reasons are numerous, and we shall not attempt to make 8 catalogue of them. Commerce and exploration have been opening up the Asiatic and African continents in most unexampled fashion, and the Western World has invaded mis- sionarY ground with a hundred diff ferent objects and cross-purposes. In the uneasy and transitional state in which the great masses of orien- tai populations now find themselves, it is difficult to estimate the relative position and value of missionary work. Moreover, missionary meth ods have been to a large extent ex- perimental, and changing conditions have made requisite some new points of view and some alteree modes of approach. The care L assumption, however, that so.a;as missionary work in general hoe sao, rldiculously barren of reg u,+s X no, in the least justified. Thostat;.4;e, of the native chure bos astah1;ehos sma,laat 4sst enrolled form the s,'ia'es' paiss the evidence that 'no e''ona ole outside observer Mo.iu sa'' .er in missionary fields. meaicai missions and hospitals have asa lost extraordinary success; Snrlstlan educational lnstitu- ons, primary, collegiate and pro fesslonal, are accomplishing wonders Tn the Turkish Empire, in Japan, in India. and notably in China. It is notevery missionary sent to the foreign field who has the tact and adaptability to gain the largest in fiuence among the natives. But even where missionaries are some what lacking in mental qualities and in winning manners, they almost invariably gain the confidence of the communities where they locate by reason of the daily example they set of high personal character, of de- voted family life, and of kindness and of good neighborship.

Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer,
Before this reaches you, the old year
Of 1894 will be numbered with the
past, and with it may we not hope. as
well as pray, that this great, God.
favored country may never be cursed
by such q villainous and fraudulent
election as we had on the 1st Tuesday
of November, 1894. If only the devils
honest and professed followers had been
connected with the many election
frauds, which was perpetrated, we
might be a little better satisfied with
the situation, but when we know, as
we do, in Cumberland county, that
members from the various churches
we're engaged in the dirty-yes, hellish
work, then it looks to me as if God
had turned us over to to the devil; but
the result of the election all over this
country assures me, that, as a people,
we are not God forsaken, for he was
our great help and power. Surely no
one can for a momont doubt the fact
that God is in this great work of politi
cal reform.
Think Of a licensed minister of the
gospel, whose mission is to teach and
preach the gospel of the Son of God,
actir g the part Of a registrar, using
his official position, fraudulentIy, by
disregarding his official oath, and
disappearing the name of God, and on
the street un~blushingly boast of his
corrupt methods, how he got the
~niggers." Then, to add to his infamy,
go with him in the DEVILS pen-the so
called place fora free people-to exer-
else the right Of voting. See him then,
with the livery of heaven on, and be-
hold him working for his master-the
devil-with all the rapacity of a hyena
over his dead victim, just out of the
grave.
Ye angels of light. tell us if you can
upon what spiritual food these, our
modern Christians, doth feed, which
entities them to a place in Gods
church after they have made His house
a den OF thieves2 The Son of God
when on earth, ON one occasion, went
into the temple and he found a number
of bad men there. He drove them
out and said, rs it not written, my
house shall be called, by all nations,
the house Of prayer2 But ye have
made it a den of thieves" Did he
turn to his faithful followers and say,
This is Eli right; let the tares and the
wheat grow together until the har-
vest9" no, indeed The true and de
voted followers of God are instructed
in his Word to ''have no fellowship
with the unfruitful works of darkness,
but rather to reform them" Where
are we at7 Do we belong to God or the
devil9 The tree is known by it's fruit
A mans life tells what he is just as
truthfully. w. DRURY SMITH

Mt. VERNON Springs, N, Q.

MI. VERNON Springs, N. =.
1. The legislature should reduce all
officers fees IS per cent, perhaps
magistrates should be excepted,) Re-
member they are the same as when
-four was s. or 81 per barrel.
2. Give the people four months free
school, not By increasing the taxes, but
by stopping appropriations to Chapel
Hill and the Normal School at Greens
boro, and abolish the County Board OF
Education and County superintendent.
Let the county commissioners manage
the public schools.
8. Let this legislature prepare to
amend the State Constitution so as to
abolish the homestead law, or at least
reduce it $500. It is the father of our
present mortgage system. The people
voted it for the relief Of old debts,
which object it does not accomplish;
therefore they should have an oppor-
tunity to vote on it again.
4. Reduce the rate on loans to 6 per
cent.
We should encourage internal i'm
provements and the establishment of
manufacturing plants, and hence we
should free from tax a certain number
of years parties who would invest their
money
Respectfully submitted,
