"MATTHEw's CONVERSION .
The Subject of Rev. ID. III. Tuttle's
Sermon at Central odist Church.

The Subject of Rev. ID. III, Tuttle's
Sermon at Central Methodist Church.
Last night at Central Methodist church,
Rev. d. II. Tuttle, the pastor, preached
on Matthews Conversion" taking IS
his text, Luke 5:22 80
He said:
Thee words are full of interest to
all who appreciate the value of soul
and desire its salvation. The text de
sc ibes the conversion of one of Christ's
disciples. Compare your experience with
Matthew'S, to know whether or not you
have enjoyed this all-important change.
LET us notice the great power OF
Christ's calling Matthew belonged to a
class of persons noted for their wicked
ness, yet Christ said, Come, follow me.
He left alp his sins, his pr JUDGES, his
occupation, and followed Christ. The
gospei gives the glorious result. Do not
despair of any ones conversion after
Matthew's or Paul's.
"Here we learn that conversion begins
believers real joy Matthew's friends
thought he had made mistake in leav-
ing good business. They know not of
his spiritual gains. They were in dark
ness, he had entered into light. The
acme of our rejoicing should be the con-
version of a soul. Angels in heaven re-
joice at it, We learn that converted
souls at once desire the conversion of
others. Matthew made feast and ir-
vited his old comrades-he desired TO
secure their acquaintance with Jesus-to
bring them in touch with His saving
power. A serious trouble in the path of
many protesting Christians in our day is
their shyness OF sinners. They live too
much like them to save them. A re-
ligion that is feast of joy is source of
power to save others.
eve learn that the chief object of
Christ was to call sinners to repent
ance To feel that one is sinner is to
recognize that JESUS calls you. The ex-
preston often heard, i am not very
great sinner, reveals the most alarming
condition of a siD-sick soul. Your sin
| fits you for the work that Jesus came to
do for you.
"AIl the fitress it requires,
| to feel your need OF Him "
Three persons came to the altar as
penitents, two of whom professed faith.

Taxation OF Churches In Raleigh.

whether held and owned by churches,
religious organizations or societies, shall
be taxed" This shows which way the

..THE DOCTORS DIFFER
President kilgO' Opposes Football
While his Predecessor Introduced it
Into the State.

Into the State.
The position President Kilgo, of Trim
ity College, has taken on football, is
strongly combatted by the advocates of
this great American sport.
A prominent gentleman who has had
. deal of experience with college boys,
and who is in the city for few days,
said yesterday:
81 notice that you quote what DR..
Kilgo says against football. 1t is fair to
state that Trinity College introduced,
through its president, DIR. Crowell, mod
ern football in this State. And DR..
Crowell was repeatedly endorsed by his
trustees and great regrets expressed at
his resignation. Doctors differ.
'sAs to the dangers OF the game, let
me make some suggestions. Many lives
are lost among bathers. Should bathing
be abolished2 People are constantly
thrown out of buggies, limbs broken
and lives lost. Should buggy riding be
abolished? Two Sunday school scholars
were killed by their teachers9 Ourrant)
Should Sunday schools be abolisheos
Children fall out of trees. Shall tree,
climbing be stopped, &c., &c.
"That there is little real danger in
football is proved by the fact that the
game goes on in all the colleges, and
many of the schools, towns, villages and
cities every day for many weeks, tens of
thousands Of players, and in proportion
to thes numbers engaged the serious &C
cidents are few.

not to rejoice that dudeism is not the

At eleven o'clock last nigh DR., Colum
bus Durham died suddenly at his home
on EdentOn street, III this city.

and was under treatment, but his all

nOunced the affection heart disease
Since that time be has been confined to

very sudden.
He leaves a wife, two soGs, Baxter
and Walters, and one daughter, Ellen.
His wife was a daughter of Prof, Wal
tiers, of Wake Forest College.
The hour of the funeral will be an
nounced later.
Sketch of His Life.
DIR. Durham was, perhaps, better
known as Baptist than any other man
in the State. He was a Jealous defender
of Baptist doctrines and was one of the
chief counselors in the demo nination.
Since 1888 he had been Secretary of
the Board of Missions, aud in this had
done a work that is much to be COM
mended.
He was president of the Board of
Trustees of Wake Forest College. That
institution, his alma mater, in 1890 c)r-
ferred upon him the degree of Doctor of
Divinity.
DIR. Durham was born il Cleveland
county, fifty one years ago. At the age
of sixteen he entered the Confederate
army, and fought through the war.
When the smoke of battles had cleared
away he returned home and en-
tered Wake Forest College, in
due time graduating from that
institution. He was Baptist minister
even before he graduated. Soon after
he entered the active work OF the min
istry, he was married to the daughter of
Professor Walker He served several
of the most important charges in the
State, among them Goldsboro and Dur
ham For several years he has devoted
himself entirely to mission and college
work.
DR.. Durham was by nature bold and
aggressive, and was always strongly on
ono eida or tho other of every nupStinn
His tireless and unceasing fight against
appropriations to S ate educational in
situations instances the energy with
which he pursued his aims.
His death will come as shock to the
entire Baptist denomination in the
State

court OvSrruled the former decision
Twice during June the law was sus'
tanned in the supreme court Of love. IN
the first case (Warinbold Vs. SchliCh-
ting), the Judge said: Congress, with
full power 10 do 90, as is admitted 10y
counssD has declared that these treas
uFy notes shall be received in payment
Of all debts, public and private, with
certain exceptions in the act stated,
and hereunder they have the same con-
stitutional value as gold and silver and
the obligation Of the creditor TO receive
them and the right OF the debtor to ten
der them is the same as il they were
made of coin or metal instead Of paper.
From this argument there is no just es-
cape. Gold, silver and treasury notes
are placed by the law on the same basis.
Each and all are made q legal tender.
+ Treasury notes (greenbaoks)
are TO be q legal equivalent
to gold. A legal tender note of the de-
nomination Of $40 has the same legal

piled, each dollar Of every mode or form
Of currency, declared to be legal ten
der, has the same value, without refer
ence to the material Of which it is COM
posed. And we cannot resist the re-
mark, that the sooner this is known, &C.

be for national, monetary and political

CESS"
In August, 1854, Judge Ourrey in
powerful and exhaustive opinion ex.
pressed the views of the California su-
prsms court, upholding the right Of the
United States government to declare it's
own paper a currency and legal tender,
on the ground that 1t was one OF the
functions delegated in the constitution,
by the people OF the several states.
In October, 1864, twice more in March,
1866, and again in October, 1866, the
highest tribunal in Missouri affirmed
the constltutionality of the act with no
uncertain sound. In the frst case
Judge Dryden distinguished very clearly
between money and commodities. "The
error (of the lower COURT consists in at
trlbuting to money q marketable or
commercial value and q liability TO
Auctustion in price to which other
property by accidents Of trade is sub.
ject, and in supposing that instead Of
the value Of money being a thing fixed
and established by law, it was an open
question to be determined by the courts
in every case on the testimony Of wit
nssses. Money is a universal medium
or common standard By q comparison
with which the value of all merchandise
may be asOertsinsd, or it is a sign which
Represents the respective values Of all
commodities, and as such medium it
has no marketable value but possesses
such standard value as the:lsw-msking
power has assigned to it," Henderson
