The attendance last week upon
Warrenton District on. E. church)
Conference was quite full. Among
the ministers and laymen present
were some able and earnest men and
the services were of an interesting,
instructive, edifying nature. Some
excellent sermons and admirable ad-
dresses were delivered. We regret
that we cannot give full account OF
the proceedings. We had expected
to have q report furnished US being
unable to attend all the sessions our
self. In this, though, we have been
disappointed.
From DR.. Ivey's brief account in
the Raleigh Christian Advocate we take
the following:
We reached Henderson, the seat OF the
Warrenton District Conference, on We'd
nesday, the Goth nit. We found large
delegation present. Rev. J. E. Under
wood, P. E., was in the chair. Although
this was his first District Conference, yet
be presided with the ability OF an old
stager. He is to be complimented on
securing the presence OF such q large
delegation and throwing SO much life
ley was Secretary. We presented the ill.,
terest Of the Advocate in the afternoon.
The reception We met was gratifying.
We had a regular Advocate love feast.
With SO many earnest, enthusiastic advo-
Gates OF the advocate, there is bound to
be success in a large measure. We
secured a large number Of new sub
scribers. The morning session on Thurs
day was enlivened by q most sOul-stir-
ring talk on Home Missions by Mrs. Thos.
R. Kendall, Of Augusta, Ga. She ia the
wife OF Rev. T. R. Kendall, OF the North
Georgia Conference. She is a woman of
fine address and great intellectual and
spiritual power. Rev. &. W. Fisher
preached at IL o'clock a. IN. q most
earnest and forcible sermon. At night
Rev. j. d. Pegram preached a sermon OF
power on the subject OF Training Chill
dren." The cause of Christian education
was presented on Friday. Rev. Plato
Durham, Adjunct Professor of Biblical
history in Trinity College, and Prof. J.
F. Bivins, of Trinity Park High School,
and Others spoke ca this question. Rev.
j. W. Jenkins presented the question of
Orphanage and Preachers Home. He 10
full of his subject and seems to throw off
from his very finger tips facts that ap-
peal irrisistibly for this great enterprise.
DR.. j. r. Brooks, Prof. T. A. Smoot and
Reva. G. B. Perry and A. $. Hester. Pres
ident NJ. S. Davis, of Louisburg Female
College were other visitors. The next
District Conference will meet at Windsor
Rev. A. McCullen, pastor OF the church
at Henderson, was a very considerate
and genial host The Henderson saints
have q very high regard for him as O man
and as preacher. His preaching, they
say, is of very high order, and we have
no doubt that they are correct. We
were glad to spend an hour 10 a social
way with him and his interesting family.

Death of Mrs. Lou Parham.

After all illness OF about four weeks
this good woman passed quietly away at
her home on July 3rd, 1899, at O'Clock
q. m. She was laid to rest in the family
cemetery beside her beloved husband,
Mr.. Jasper Parham, who preceded her to
the land of the blessed q little more than
two years ago. Five children and a host
OF friends as wide as the circle of her
acquaintance are left to mourn what is
really keen loss to them. But We sor-
row not as those who have no hope; for
years ago she planted her life and hopes
in Him who lives beyond death and the
grave. Because He lives she lives also,
and death was only IN incident in the
cause Of that life which abides.
Mrs. Parham was a member OF Poplar
Creek Baptist church, and her religion
was more than a mere name. In her
and under all circumstances che was the
same-gentle, patient, unselfish, cheer
full, practical, and holding a ready hand
for every good work. As she had lived,
so she died, without murmur or strug
gle; and even as a corpse, the beautiful
calm on her face was but q token OF the
peace which was hers.
Her only concern at the prospect OF
death was for her children, but her work
for and in them is by no means finished.
Now that her body is removed, her spirit,
her teachings, and her example will speak
but the louder in leading them on to
lives OF usefulness in unselfish devotion
to that which is high, noble and good.
Her pastor conducted the burial SER
vice in the midst OF an unusually large
cOncOurse OF sOrrowing neighbors and
friends.
"Happy are the dead who die in the
Lord henceforth; yea, says the Spirit,
that they may rest from their labors, for
their works follow with them"

his time and energy to pushing the

which he is interested. If Mr.. Ram
sey edits Rheumacide with the same

And certainly we can endorse lis
