The Old Books Re.Adopted.

The board of county commissioners
met yesterday in their regular monthly
business meeting. The regular routine
of business was gone through with.
It will be remembered that for some
time there has been considerable agita-
ton in educational circles over what
books the commissioners would adopt
for the public shoots.
CHM & Co, book concern of Bos-
ton, have been actively canvassing the
State for the passed month or more to
get the different boards Of county COM
missioners to adopt their books and
throw away the ones that have now been
in use for a number of years.
Yesterday the commissioners re-adopt-
ed the old books, which have been
thoroughly tried, and educators say are
as good as can be gotten any where.
The commissioners did right and de-
serve the thanks of every citizen of this
county in sticking to right rather than
yielding to the mighty pressure brought
to bear upon them by this Boston con-
Germ, who, it is said, secured the passage
of the law at the last Legislature which
took the matter of selecting books fol
the schools out of the hands Of the State
board of education and placed itinto the
hands of the county commissio 1ers-
hoping to be benefited by the change
1t is estimated that the change to new
books would have cost the citizens o.
Durham county alone in the neighbor
hood of $40, 900.

EDITOR HERALD,
Alas for the rarity,
OF Christian Charity
Under the Sun:


Fine sermons are good, but
practical religion is better. Not
one day, but seven days in the
week should christianity assert
itself. On the crowded thorough
fare, in the busy marts, at the
joyous feast, the social banquet,
and the more solemn expert
ences and duties of life, Christs
example should be emulated and
his precepts observed.
Think how much human suf-
fering would be avoided, what a
world. of good accomplished,
were all professed followers Of
the lowly Nazarine to observe
this rule in their daily walk
and intercourse with their fel.
low men. No true christian
can complacently regard hu-
man misery, or in any way con-
tribute to its promotion. The
world is hungering and thirst.
ing today as never before, for
the coming of Christ and the es.
Enlistment Of his kingdom on
earth. Tie people are ready TO
accept the literal religion Of
Christ Literally applied.
Peace on earth, good will to
wards men, is deyoutly sought
for today by millions Of humble
hearts whose lots in life would
be unbearable were ii not for
the blessed thought and prom.
Use, that at last a loving Christ
will soothe their aching hearts,
and reward their earthly suf-
ferings with a blessed, glorious
Immortality, where the wicked
cease from troubling, and the
righteous cease to mourn.
Take these thoughts with you
into your business the ensuing
week. Make a practical appli.
cation of christian kindness
ann consideration. Perform at
least one noble, unselfish CHAIR.
