Springs in Chatham county and the

Hundreds of Sunday-school workers
went painting to Morehead to enjoy the
breeze and gather new inspiration
from Others who are engaged In the
great Sunday-school work.
Mr.. N. B. Broughton of Raleigh is
president of the Chautauqua and was
promptly on hand. Prof. Reubush, OF

direct the music of the Chautauqua.
The exercises were opened Tuesday
night. Rev. J. T. jenkins delivered an
address of welcome to the visitors and
Sunday-school workers. The welcom-

by Rev. J. @. Adams of Wadesboro.
The response was short but bright and
pleasing.

first Baptist church of. Raleigh. The
text was from Luke :66 "What man.
ner of child shall this be?' The SER

ter. 1t was pronounced one of DR..
Carriers ablest efforts, which means to
those who know him that it was all
that could be wished as sermon on
such an occasion.

The class of Orphans from the Bap-
ist Orphanage at Thomasville gave a
most delightful concert Thursday night.
The writer left Morehead Friday
morning and consequently was COM
'elled to miss two of the most impor-
ant days of the Chautauqua.
It was most delightful gathering
md no doubt all the earnest Sunday
chOol workers who attended went away
With new inspirations to the work. We
lave seldom heard finer music than
vas rendered by the Chautauqua or
hestra. It consisted of about twenty
vlolins, flutes, comets, Or
IAN and piano, and large number of
inc voices.
We shall be glad of another opportu-
lity to attend the Chautauqua.
