Seeing what be had done and
knowing what this would lead to be
decided to end his earthly career.

THE LOVE OF GOD.
It Should be to All Men Cause of
Ceaseless Thanksgiving.
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
First Of all and most of all, the
unreasonable love of God. His love
is the infinite fountain from which the
countless and endless streams OF mercy
and goodness flow. With the old apos-
tie we say, Thanks be unto God for
His unspeakable gift But Jesus
Christ who is Gods ''unspeakable gift, :
to men, is the expression Of the Faith
er's wondrous love to u.s. God 50
loved the world that He gave His only
begotten Son that whatsoever believetA
in Him should not perish, but have
everlasting life" But the greater CON
tains the less. An blessings are In
Guided in Christ. Ii God loved us
enough to give His perfect and precious
Son to lowliness and death for us. He
still loves us enough to nourish us
with the bounties of His Providence.
HE that spared not His own Son, bur
delivered Him up for us all, how shall
He not with Him also freely give us
all things%' Christ Is the sure pledge
Of all the blessings which the good
rather sees us to need. Let us, not
only on Thanksgiving Day. but on
every other day of each year, raise our
hearts i'll praiseful gratitude to the
Give of all good for the gift of Jesus
the Savior. j. w. CARTER.

INTEREST IN SCHOOLS.
Colleges, Academies and Public Schools
Entering on New Era.

To the Editor The increased interest
in education in North Carolina is cause
for profound gratitude The appropGla-
tiGn by the Legislature of 100000 for
the public schools Of tine State is itself
both am evidence of this interest, and
has helped to increase the interest. ne
who observes at all recognizes a new
spirit in tine land. Il new interest i'm the
public schools of the State This is one
of the most hopeful signs of progress
that we have yet seen. And this inn
crease Of interest is manifest also in the
increased attendance at the colleges and
academies of the State suppose that
the average increase of all the colleges
and academies is at least 10 per cent. in
excess of the number of last year. And
it seems that the larger the number Of
schools, the larger is the number ini at
tendance ON each school. 1t was feared
by some teachers that the opening Of the
Normal School would decrease their pa
tronage. And yet, though the Normal
has collected about 400 girls. all the
other schools fer girls of the State haye
steadily INCREASED. And while the Unl-
versity and the A. and NJ. College at
Raleigh are growing larger year after
Year, the denoaninationaI colleges are
keeping pace with them.
And there seems to be better under
standing between the colleges and the
academies, the colleges fostering the
academies, and the academies warmly
sustaining the college; each recognizing
the rights of the other.
And there seems also Il broader spirit
of liberation. There is less of clashing
among teachers than | haye known for
years And why should there be any?
All of us are engaged in the great work
of uplifting the Young of the State of
diminishing the great mass of ignorance.
There is plenty of work and plenty of
room for all. And so the patriot cam in
his heart thank God that the education
al outlook i'm North Carolina is brighter
than ever.

tive prices. Prudent in planning, eco
nomical in expenditures and diligent in
business, our agricultural classes, viewed
as a whole, find themselves more able
than usual to pay their debts and pro-
vide comforts for the coming year.
New business enterprises are being
projected almost daily. We are in the
midst of an era of mill building The
eyes of the nation are turning toward
North Carolina as the home Of the cot
ton factory. These enterprises and fac
tories mean profitable investment for
capital, rcmuneratiye employment for
labor and a ready market for our farm
products. The hearts of our people are
fired with the spirit OF hope and their
eyes are turned resolutely toward the
sunrise.

Of the State, almost without exception,
are going forward. 1t is probable that
on this glad November day. there are
more boys and girls more young men

management of man who does his
work in a non-partisan spirit, are making
sure and steady progress.
We are in the midst OF an educational
revival that has touched and stirred the
hearts of the people Of every condition,
and class and section.
% RELIGIOUS PROGRESS
There is a manifest quickening in the
religious life of our people. While it is
true that in some sections certain dam
gcrous and deceitful doctrines are being
preached and practiced, cit is also true
that the people of the State, as ii whole,
were never more loyal to the truth;
never more united and aggressive in
It's propagation. During the past twelve
months it is probable that they have
paid more money to missions-home and
foreign-than in any previous year. I'm
doubtedly the care of the poor orphan
has a larger place in the hearts Of
Christians than ever before. The
churches are taking hold of the factory
problem" and in all wise ways, seeking
10 plant and perpetuate the principles
of religion in the practical life and pur-
suits of the people. Our religion is ac-
tive, aggressive, practical. For these
things, material push, educational pro-
gress and religious prosperity, l think
we should be devoutly thankful.
