REPORT ON SYSTEMATIC BENEFIT
CENCE.
Your Committee on Systematic Benefit
cence submitted the following report
which was adopted:
There have come into our hands reports
from seventy-two prcsbytcries. one more
than last year, leaving five preSbyterics
from which we have no report-Ethel
Indian, Lexington. Central Alabama, and
Western District.
In the main, these reports are quite full
and satisfactory: some are incomplete in
mat they do not give the number Of
wholly non-contributing churches. as fol-
lows: EbeneZer. South Carolina. Nash
vile, Pine Bluff, Tombcckbee. Muhlen-
burg. Maryland, Brazos, Fayetteville
chesapeake. ST. Louis, Wilmington
Bethel. Some do not bear the names Of
the presbyteries on their face, as follows;
Maryland. Suwanec. and Ouchita. The
report from Arkansas has 10 names on IT
at all. the committee being able TO iden-
tify 1t from the name of the stated clerk.
The report from Chesapeake and ST.
Louis were not sent up on the regular
blanks provided for the purpose. For
these reasons our tabulated report docs
not represent with perfect accuracy the
facts as TO church contributions.
A little more than $500 less for foreign
missions is reported this year than last,
and 1e5 fewer contributing churches. Win
this exception the amounts given 10 the
benevolent causes are greater than last
year. although the number of contribut-
ing churches is less. except in the contri-
buttons TO General Assembly home mis-
siong. relief fund, and education.
The largest increase is seen in tho con-
tribution 10 the Bible Society. there being
an increased amount Of S3C2i.97. and Of
contributing churches. o. Our tabuated
report shows 2755 churches report as to
contributions, 81 fewer giving 10 all the
objects than gave last year, and p fewer
are reported as giving 20 none of these
causes.
we recommend that the General AS
sembly cnjoin upon all of the stated
clerks of presbyteries:
!. To see TO ii that the reports from
their presbyteries are sent up promptly.
2. To use the blanks provided for the
purpose by the Publication Committee In
making out their reports.
g. To be careful TO make these reports
complete 10y filing out all the blanks.
The following is the tabulated state
ment of contributions TO the benevolent
causes of the Church made out from the
reports in our hands:
1886 churches gave to foreign
missions ............ Sl0S, Sl3 80
1851 churches gave to assembly's

THE TRINITY COLLEGE STU.

Washington Messenger.

Washington Messenger.
In reading the mammoth edition Of
that most excellent paper, the News and
Observer. we have been forcibly struck
at the number of students of Trinity
College that have come to places of hon
or and distinction in the State. Hardly
the write-up of a town appears in its
columns bnt what the Trinity student
appears and the doings of the boys that
went from fits historic walls are in
scribed, and the part they are acting in
the progress and development in the
State. We are not surprised at this
when we reflect in the long ago these
boys have been trained by a man like
Craven, and are now being fitted for
life's battle by kilgo. No one can
read the pages of this mammoth paper
without being struck with the fact that
the former students Of Trinity College
are playing no small part in the onward
progress of North Carolina, and in the
development of his native State. And
il we are to judge from the present
outlook of this most excellent school and
the increased attendance the important
part the college has played for the up
building of the Old North State is to
continue, and it is to be a power for
good in the future as it has been in the
past.

THE AMENDMENT.
An Important Part That Seems to Es-
cape Notice.
Medora, N. G., Oct. 6, 1899.

Medora, n c.. Oct. 6, 1899.
To the Editor: In renewing my sub
scription to the best daily in the State
| wish to call your attention to AN inn
portant part of the Constitutional
Amendment that no one seems to notice.
In my mind all the wisdom of men could
not draw a compulsory educational bill
that would be as effectual as the passage
of the proposed amendment, and If the
white people don't watch the negroes
will excel them III common education.
Another important part of the negroes,
welfare is to eliminate him from politics;
they are contented and place all conf
dence in the white man until election
comes, when they are fired by intlamma-
tory speeches almost to rebellion. They
are ignorant and innocently led to their
detriment by men that have no care for
their welfare whatever. They have real
lied the fact that white men are going
to rule this country and treat them all
right as far as they merit it. With kind
feelings for the negro / would say be
patient and trust to higher power that
will do them justice.
