Teaching Hints.

A Christian traveller finds much in his
journeys that is invisible to the careless
globe-tTotter. In this quiet voyage from
Aliletus to Palestine, Paul doubtless had
his mind full of lofty thoughts and great
desires for the people whom he passed
on the way. AS they touched at Rhodes
he would think what splendid place to
plant Christian church to ev1ngelize
the Aegean; as they passed the shores OF
Cyprus, he would remember what Chris
tianity had already accomplished in that
island, and his mind would 20 back to
Barnabos and the first missionary jour
ley. AT Tyre his thoughts would be busy
with the grand, gloomy prophecies of Eze
kiel and Isaiah, and he would wonder
whether the handful Of Christians that
he found there would be able to accom-
plish anything in transforming the city
and postponing the day Of its destruction.
Everywhere the natural beauties of the
scenery and the human interest of the
cities and countries were increased by
Paul's own Christian purpose.
Pauls fearlessness in the face of dan
ger reminds us constantly of Christ, dur
ing those dark days of the Perean minis
try, when the shadow of the cross was al
ready falling upon him, and the burden OF
the world weighed heavily upon his spirit.
Like Christ, Paul set his face steadfastly
to go to Jerusalem, because he felt that
duty called him thither. Believing this
to be worthy object, he let nothing stand
in the way of its attempted accomplish
ment.
1t is not always n long and quiet life
that Is to be strivcn for above all else.
Paul had been by no means anxious to
die or to suffer Imprisonment, for he hate
great work to accomplish. Even now
he knew that that work was far from fin
ished. But he knew well that IL he shouts
shrink now from this visit to Jerusalem.
from which he expected so much, tia
recollection of such timidity would harm
not only his reputation with friends AM.
enemies, but his own character. This risk
must be taken, now that the issue was
squarely drawn. To go meant danger; to
stay meant disgrace and defeat.

Burning Weeds.

1t Is far better to rot the weeds by
burying them under the soil while green
than to rely on burning them after they
have ripened their seeds. 1t Is COM
monty supposed that when a weed Is
burned, its seed also perishes. Only IL
piled on brush, which will make Goals
Of fire at the bottom Of the heap, Is
this the case. The weed seed drops as
the pod which encloses it shrivels with
heat, and as carbonic acid gas settles
to the bottom Of the heap, the noxious
seed Is preserved from burning.

BAPTIST YOUNG PEOPLE
CONVENTION IN FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH TONIGHT.
A Large Number of Delegates Are
Expected--Program for the
Convention.

| In the religious world no recent move
ment is so significant as that manifest
| in various denominations to organize and
develop their young people. The Metho-
| dists have their Epworth League. the
| Protestants at large have their Young
Peoples Society of Christian Endeavor,
and the Baptists have their Young Peo-
pies Union.
| No movement has grown more rapidly.
| The Christian Endeavor is but thirteen
years old, yet its lines reach out into
every Protestant land, and dts members
reach up into the hundred thousands.
| The Epworth League is known as widely
as it's mother, the Methodist Episcopal
| church. The Baptist movement is but
| FIVE years old, but it has spread like a
contagion throughout the United States,
| and some of it's general meetings have
| brought together congregations number
| ing above $1,000 people.
The meeting here in Raleigh beginning
| tonight is of the Baptist Young People
of North Carolina. This movement has
been going ON three years. This is the
| first time it has met alone-that is, not
| in conjunction with the State Baptist
convention. The reason for the departure
| is to get more time for the meeting.
| The promoters OF this meeting have
determined to make it a success. A pro-
| gramme of timely subjects and OF the
ablest speakers in the Baptist denomina-
| ton has been prepared. Raleigh was
selected because of the local influence
and the central position of the city.
Delegates from all parts of the State
have been appointed, and a large number
| have signifed their intention of being
| present.
The Raleigh people in general are COR
daily invited to attend these meetings.
In addition to the addresses, large choir
| has been organized under Secretary
| Overton, and some excellent music may
be expected. DR.. G. s. Blackwell is
president OF the convention.

calist Of superior quality and
the lovers of music enIUyed q
rare rendering of beautiful songs
by a voice naturally sweet and
well trained to an exquisite
modulatiou. Both of the fore
going were handsomely second
ed by Miss Smith on the.pisno;
Ii required no trained ear to
appreciate the excellence OF
Miss Smith on the piano. The
rapt attention of the trained

dence of the happy effect she
