per on the origin OF the Society and
the progress of the work. Miss Horn
or is secretary of the Woman's Auxil-

sides the reading Of her paper, she
made most interesting and instruct
i've talk, showing the work of the Socie-
ty, the needs for stronger efforts and
the great good done through it as a
medium for helping the missionaries
In foreign lands. She urged the wo-
men of the church to Jealous, consecrated
service In their efforts for the extension
OF the kingdom of Christ.
Miss Horner's presence and work add
ed much to the interest of the Convoca-
ton.
Mrs. Walter J. Smith also made re-
marks before the Auxiliary concerning
the enrolment of the babies under five
years, showing how penny week for
each baby enrolled will swell the con-
tributions to the mission work in Chi
ma and other places. Her remarks were
quite Interesting.
Miss A. E. Smith also read very in
teresting paper on the work of the
Womans' Auxiliary, which was instruct
i've and we'll received.
The third day Rev. Mr.. Walker
preached at II o'clock and the evening
session was given to the discussion of
work.
The meeting was quite an interest
ing one and the attendance was good.
The editor of The COMMONWEALTH
did not have the opportunity of attend
ing all the services during the meeting,
but the sermons we heard and the dis
on the other topics before the
Convocation were quite interesting and
highly instructive.

Corner Stone for the Colored Church.
Last Friday was laid the cornerstone
for Shiloh colored Baptist church OF
this place under the auspices OF their
order of Odd Fellows, Little Kehukee
Lodge No. 1892.
There were representatives from
lodges in Tlllery, Halifax, Tarboro and
Whitakers. The ceremonies were de-
ferred until late in the afternoon wait
ing for persons on the 5 o'clock train.
The procession of about seventy-five
Odd Fellows started from the colored
church about 5 80, went down Green
wood to 10th street, thence to Main
Street, up Main to 18th, then back to
the church.
s. III. Wick, teacher from Wilson,
delivered an address on the order OF
Odd Fellows, running back to its first
establishment in America. He spoke
of the time when the white and color
ed people assembled in the halls to-
gether, and told how they finally sep
arated. The speaker eulogized the
order and told his hearers how it
helps those who are faithful to it.
The address was cut short by the late
ness of the hour, but was frequently
applauded and made good impression
on the great crowd of colored people
who heard it.
At the conclusion of the address the
great crowd packed in the frame work
of the new church, went outside where
the corner stone was laid according to
the regulations of the order. The GER
emonles were concluded about sum
down.
The colored people have commenced
a handsome and commodlous church
which, when finished, will not only be
a credit to them but to the town OF
Scotland Neck. Recently at business
meeting in the white Baptist church
the conference, unsolicited by the col
ored people, voted and raised $25 and
gave them for their new building.
