Yesterday was Rev. Richard Carroll OF
Columbia. South Carolina, founder of
the Industrial home for colore1 boys
and girls located in Columbia, s. G.
Rev. MI. CAROLS work for the col
ored children of South Carolina is like
that of Booker 7. Washington for the
colored children of Alabama, and the
men themselves are much alike. Rev.
Mr. Carroll is on his way to Boston, to
visit one Of the directors of the ittstitu-
ton, and stopped over long enough in
Worcester to visit one session Of the
convention. He is not presenting his
work at this time, though he does not
miss an opportunity Of saying q word
for it to individuals.
He was chaplain of the Tenth volun-
teer regiment during the war witt
Spain, and is a man who has not only
the respect but the admiration and
sympathy of every one in his native
state. OF him the Columbia, 8. c.,

the Importance of the start. You see

really started? Are you free from
condemnation? Are you converted? In
the cell of sin, surrounded by sin, with
the old man dying but never dead? Are
you justified from sin? Never a man
without justification can finish the race.
Take a long far look Of your existence.
Never a man lived as God would have

practical assistance also. Carroll is one
OF the best and most sensible colored
men in the state. His influence with mis-
own people has been wholesome
throughout and he sees clearly where
best to begin the work of aiding them.
The idle and vagabond negro child is a
menace TO the future of the state. ANY
institution which will take such out
casts from the streets and train them

vice, is an institution which deserves
the support of the white people. Preach

know him, respect him, and wish him
well with his work"
1t is interesting to note that while
some of the directors and officers Ut the
institution which he represents are
northern men, yet the majority are
southern men, some of them old slave
holders.

Testament is the record Of Gods act
ual historical preparation of Israel and
evidently of the world for the advent of
Christ. The New Testament consists
Of Christ's biography of his post-ascen-
sion activities and of such doetrinal
teachings as grow out of his person and
work
There is no need of discussion over
the New Testament, 1t requires no
prophet to affirm that when Christ
comes again, that part of the Bible
will have its canon exactly as it is
now.
THE discussion is then over the Old
Testament. Can we place implicit faith
| in its pages?
cts canonical completeness dates
back to the time of Christ Both in its
substance and its form it claims to be a
completed and reliable historical record
of Gods preparations in history of the
Jewish nation for the advent of the
Christ. Irz nj
1T stands absolutely alone in this
field. There is no literature in exist
ence that either contradicts or sub
stitutes it. Either the Old Testament
as we have it is Gods record of His
footsteps in history or there is none in
existence. Either it tells us correctly
the story of His actual working out Of
His purpose or the story is absolutely
untold. The book that has been swayed
by the spirits hand for the regenera-
ton of men, and the reorganization Of
mankind; that has furnished forth the
effectual warfare of Gods saints
against error immortality. and institu-
tional sin; that has filled the toilers
with courage the suffering with com
fort, and so on-that book can not be
radically untrue. We may absorb it.
