Mr.. McQueen's Address.

Rev. Stewart Mcqueen of Goldsboro
delivered an address before the church
Guild in the Episcopal church here
las. Monday night.
He spoke of the work of caring for
the orphans. He spoke easily and in
terestingly on the subject, putting the
theory OF orphan work on very high
ground, declaring that the brotherhood
of man is worldwide. The whole race
of man are our neighbors, he said, and
the wide world our neighborhood.
The speaker referred to the fact that
among heather nations there were no
institutions OF charity and benevolence
and that the work of charity, which is
love, is purely characteristic of christ
ian civilization.
Mr.. Mcqueen is a free ana easy
speaker, has a fund of knowledge
which he readily imparts, and his adj
dress Monday night was enjoyed by all
who heard him.

Early Closing.
Last Sunday morning Rev. R. T
Vann, pastor of the Baptist church
gave five minutes prelude to his ser
mon and directed it to the merchants
on the subject OF early closing.
Following are the reasons he gave:
1. 1t will help the reputation OF the
town. Towns in which all the bust
ness houses keep open late are becom-
ing to be regarded as picayunish.
3. It helps the citizens, by closing
the loafng places for husbands and
sons.
3. It helps the merchant, giving
him greater vigor and allowing him
more time for his family and his God
while taking not cent from his in
come.
f. It helps clerks giving, them some
opportunity for self improvement, rec
reation and social life now enjoyed oy
all other classes and denied only tc
them.
THE COMMONWEALTH heartily en-
dorses Mr.. Vann's position, and hopes
to see his requests granted by our bust
ness men.
Want OF space forbids further com
ment, but we shall refer to the matter
again.
