WHAT CHURCHES
HAVE DONE.
Continued from Tenth Page

Church in North Carolina, we feel con
fident. will take an honorable part in the
great Twentieth Century Movement.
The Southern Methodist Church is going
to raise S1,500,000 as a thank Offering
for the cause of Christian education.
This, no one who clearly sees the situa-
ton, can doubt, and when the final
paeans of thanksgiving shall be sung, the
familiar tones of the Old North State
will be heard. The Church in North
Carolina will yet express more empha-
tic appreciation of the fact that the
church must educate, and that church
educational institutions must be so equip
ped with money and brains that no son
or daughter of JohnWesley may be found
burning incense on the altar of strange
institutions. Within the next few years
Southern Methodist are going TO rally
around their schools with an enthusiasm
whose fire will burn from ocean to ocean.
Methodist schools for Methodists' will
be the cry in which there will not be a
single note of doubt or apology. 1t is
probable that the next few years will
witness large increase in the number of
Our church primary schools. Some are
already talking about a great central
school for women at Raleigh.
The next few years will see a great
movement in favor of better church
buildings. The movement has already
begun. Elegant new brick church build
ings Of the finest architecture win be
erected next year at Rockingham, Ok
ford. Wilson and Elizabeth City. 1t is
probable that other towns will follow
suit. The day of asthmatic. ramshackle
church buildings is out of date in North
Carolina Methodism
The North Carolina Conference is go
ing TO push TO speedy completion the
first buildings of the Methodist Orphan
age. Tile enterprise has taken hold of
the hearts of our people, and that it will
he a great success, no one doubts. The
location is excellent, and all conditions
are favorable. The total amount collect
ed to date, not embracing the bcquest Of
Mr.. A. Il. Page. is nearly $4,000
Rev. ]. w. Jenkins, who inaugurated
the enterprise. has been appointed Or
phanage Agent for the year. and he will
travel the length and breadth of the
State in collecting funds.
1t must be remembered that the great
work Of Methodism must ever bc in the
that of saving souls. Revival fires must
continue TO mark the onward journey
Methodists believe in the universally Of
the 'altonement. They teach that it is
the privilege of the believer to have the
consciousness that he is saved. and that
he must be holy in heart and life in or
der to be saved. One marked feature of
Methodism is that it teaches the value
and necessity Of a converted church
membership. Methodism must continue
TO insist on the purity and the very high
est privilege Of the believer
Methodists must continue to hold to
the old Bible doctrines of the punish
ment of the wicked and the reward of
the righteous in all things, placing Christ
and His glory above all other interests.
This we believe they will do.

OTHER INSTITUTIONS.

The Barium Springs Orphanage is an
institution that is dear to the heart of
the church and has been most literally
supported. The buildings are handsome
and substantial and there are now more
than hundred orphans cared for and
educated there. Mr. George Watts has
been one of the most liberal contribu-
tors to the success of this institution.

State is the Presbyterian Standard, the

EDUCATIONAL.

Presbyterianism has always been close
ly identified with education and North
Carolina has been no exception to the
rule. Besides the institutions that are
non-sectarian in their character, vet pre-
sided over by Presbyterians-s as the
Bingham School at Asheyille, one Of the
first Of its class in the whole country
and having the unique distinction Of hav-
ing been administered by succession Of
Presbyterian elders in the same family
for more than a century-there are Il
number of high-grade colleges that are
directly under the control and superyis-
ion of the church
Davidson College, with its reputation
for advanced and thorough scholarship
has enrolled this year about 100 students
ard with the complete system Of water
works just put in and the erection Of
the new chemical laboratory is better
equipped than ever for its work. 1t has
made an enyiable reputation and its stu
dents have taken high stand in the va
rious professions.

colleges for women i'm the South and has
exerted a wide influence for true cul-
ture. Tt is in a prosperous condition and
has larger number Of pupils than last
year. Its constituency is by no means
limited to- North Carolina. Professor
James Dinwiddie. an educator of long
experience, is at the head Of this institu-
ton. Red Springs Seminary has in four
years reached the phenomenal number
of 260 pupils, the majority of them

MISSIONS.
In the matter of foreign missions the
Presbyterian church in North Carolina
contributes more annually to that great
cause than the Baptist and Methodist
churches combined. This year it bids
fair to reach the sum of $4,000 to make
up North Cardinals quota of the $500
COO asked for by the Southern Presbyte
riam Church.
In the matter of home missions the
church has gone rapidly forward and
this year reached high water mark in the
amount of money contributed for this
cause, about $4,000 for the three de-
partments, Presbyteria1. Synodical anl
Assembly's Missions The work Of Syn
odical Missions is under the direction Of
Rev. Eugene Gillespie as superintendent,
and is I'm most prosperous condition.
Not less than $4,000 is confidently ex-
pected for the present year and this
money is used in the support of local
evangelists in the western and eastern
counties of the State. There is also one
general evangelist supported by this fund,
Rev. William Black. and his labors have
resulted I'M the addition of hundreds OF
members to the churches Of the State
During the last few years some fifteen
counties in the State in which there was
not a single Presbyterian church have
been entered by the Synodical evangelists
and churches and Christian schools es
tablished. This work has also been very
successful among the cotton factories of
recent years.

GIadstone's Peculiar Eyes.

There is an anecdote in Blackwood's s
Of Gladstone and Professor Blackie
which confirms the story of the states
mans eaglelike eyes. At dinner the
two men were opposite, and when
Gladstone gave in a forcible way his
idea that Homer WAS no longer recited
but chanted. the professor cried out,
MIR. Gladstone. | don't believe a word
of it, Then he rose to argue the mat
ter and said one sentence, but got no
further. He had met Gladstone's gaze
and seen his outer eyelids widened to
their fullness in a steady glare. and his
tongue stumbled and he sank back into
his chair in confusion. The writer con-
cludes:
go to the zoo for it. Take your
umbrella. Make your way to the place
where the eagles. vultures. falcons and
such like creatures blink on their
perches. Select a bird. Stare at him
with insult, and you will see the outer
lids expand as Mr.. Gladstone's did.
Poke at him with your umbrella. The
flmy vertical lids through which he
looks at the sun and opens to paralyZe
his prey will part. and then you will
see what Blackie saw and understand
his feelings"

After spending more than a quarter
of a century in active business life in
the city a certain merchant purchased
q ranch which he considers to be ad-
mirably adapted for dairy farming.
Having had no practical training in
agricultural pursuits, he is dependent
for his knowledge of the art upon
those books which purport to tell the ur-
ban bred how to do the trick. He desires
to learn all he can concerning dairying
and for advice betook himself to his
friend and pastor. Rev. DR.. Stebbins.

ing he has absolute confidence.

PURCELL is going ahead and do
ing work that Ardmore should
emulate, and one which has been
chunked around in everybody S
mouth for years. That is the
naming of streets. 1t is well known
there are many streets in Ardmore
bearing no name whatever, while
others more lucky, have two, three
and in one instance to our know
ledge four different names. This
is bewildering matter to an old
settler and more especially to new
corners. Why cannot our city
council set about and have this
done at oncef 1t Is necessary in
more ways than one. Take one
instance, the assessing of proper
ty, the location is merely guessed
at, the property holder does not
know the name of the street he
lives on and in year from now
the assessor won't either. The
truth is our streets must be per-
manently named, the blocks divid-
ed and the houses numbered. and
the S5oner it is done the better.
