Riches may satisfy for time

ness is Of the devil and must be
crucihed or we have no eternal

this in Saul Of Tarsus. When he

his life became a power for good.
Divine grace saves men from hell
and from the fear of death.

A SUNDAY SERMON.
Rev. Buffers Discourse on
Water OF Life.

Text-St. John, Fourth Chap.
ter, Fourteenth Verse.
"But whosoever dhnketh Of the
water that | shall give him shall
never thirst; but the water that l
shall give him shall be in him a
we'll of water springing up into
everlasting life"
These words were spoken by the
Divine Lord TO the Samaritin wo'
man at the we'll. In studying the
subject, "Water OF Life" my
mind reverts TO blessings of the
physical world attributed to water.
During the war with Mexico, Capt.
Thornton led an army one hun
dred and twenty-five miles across
a desert. All day and all night
they travelled to find on early
morning pure water. This world
is a great desert. Billions are Of
the army desirious of Stacking
their thirst with water Of eternal
life.
Grace is divinely given. The
wages Of sin is death; the gift Of
God is eternal life and divinely
given. The plan OF salvation is a
divine plan. No new faculties are
secured by divine grace divine as
plrations are infused, Without
aspirationo, society or government
has no benefit Milton, Al twelve
years Of age, conceived ideas OF
writing a poem. We fnd him
leading an irreproachable life. He
studied took partin the wars of his
day and said be had power to de-
spise the man who aspired TO take
his life. He accomplished bis
work which has blessed following
generations. His aspirations
reached to somelhing great. Sol
diers of Christ do not aspire to i'm.
itate example OF the pastor but
they seek TO initiate the example
of the Lord, Jesus Christ.
We natioe that saving grace ID
olensing-symbolized by wAtei
which is pure. Sin does not dwell
in this flesh but has the soul fol
its seat Of government. Until the
venom Of sin is removed from th,
soul all the higher and noblsr Of
forts will prove abortive.
Sin produces dlthiness. G,

THE COMING ECLIPSE.

rious Experimentation Locn-
fion OF the Shadows Edge--The
spcctacIe's Mnenihcence at Hamp-
ton Ronds--Sun's Appendages.
The total eclipse of the sun, during
which the shadow Of the moon win
sweep over the gulf states, North Car
DINA and southeastern Virginia on the
2Sth of May. viii be the first one visi-
BILE ON the Atlantic seaboard since 1869.
In the latter year the moons shadow
passed over the western and middle
states, from Iowa eastward, entering
the Atlantic ocean from the coast of
North Carolina, In which state it cross
ed the path Of the coming eclipse. On
the 2Sth inst. the shadow viii first
strike the earth in the Pacific ocean,
off the coast of southern California,
but the total phase will occur so soon
after sunrise that the phenomenon viii
not be well seen until the shadow
reaches New Orleans. From this point
to Norfolk it sweeps across the country
in nearly a straight line, passing over a
region Ia which, If the weather reports
are reliable, the chances Of a cloudless
morning are unusually good. Unfortu-
nately, the duration Of the total phase
is rather short. being only about l min
ute 10 seconds at New Orleans and /
minute 40 seconds at Norfolk The
longest duration will be minutes 8
seconds.
Notwithstanding the brevity of the
time at the disposal of observers eX-
tensive preparations have been made
for the observations both here and in
the region of the Mediterranean. The
latter region will naturally be that

serve in their own country. To this
rule, however, there are two excep-
tions-Mr. Percival Lowell of Boston
and Professor David L. Todd of Am
herst college as his conductor have
fitted up a special expedition to OBJ
serve the eclipse at Tripoli, at which
point they arrived with their instru-
ments and materials more than n
month ago. The shOrtness of the dura-
ton of total phase is here counterbal-
anced by the fact that a cloudless day
seems to be almost certain. The Brit
ish Astronomical association was at

to make observations in North Carroll

servations is Wadesboro, n. c.. a
favorite station of N1!ch we shall

representation from our universities

marshaled along the line of totality.

CIRCUS DAY.

With the thermometer at % degrees In
the shade, today Is not an ideal day for a
circus. But. regardless of the weather.
Ringing Bros circus came here this
and appeared with more grand
eur than ever. The street parade was the
largest and best even seen in this city.
In every department important additions
We're noticeable, and half the attractions
shown could be seen by the same person
in the big tent with its three rings, in
which comical clowns We're as thick as
bees and as funny as they make 'em.
At an early hour people began to arrive
of GO miles, including the miners and pros
pectors who delve in the earth among the
mountains and the w~oodchoppers who cut
down the forest in remote sections. Many
OF them walke in and came early to see
the circus from the time of the unloading
of the ears at the depot.
The performance of this afternoon will
be repeated in full this evening.
