Baptist Orphanage, tells many enquirers
that the orphanage continues to grow in
usefulness and is enlargng its borders.
Work is progressing rapidly on the Bggs
House, named for Noah Biggs, of Scot

friends and has been one Of the most lib

Rev. 0. L. Springfield is a universal ia
vorite. The Baptists owe more to him
in connection with the Baptist Female
University than to any other man in the
denomination Every delegate greets him
with gladness and with pleasure, feeling
that it is impossible to express the graft
tude felt to him for his ''labors more
abundant" Writing of his success as a
money-getter, Rev. Hight c. Moore ed
itor of the Atlantic Messenger, says
Struggled is the man to bring things
to pass. At the association he said he
wanted 5000 for the Baptist Female Uni
versity; many in his audience smiled
doubtfully, but he went beyond his mark
And recently he spent nearly a month in
Newbern; some thought he would do well
to get $500, but he raised in cash and
pledges $500 He is surely the right man
in the right place.
Rev. w. H. Reddish, pastor at Wilson,
brings up a good report of his last years
work in Wilson. He has accepted a call
to Morganton and will enter upon his
duties there with the opening of the
New Year
Editor w. C. Dowd, Democratic cleo
tor from the Sixth district, attended
meeting Of the electors at noon yester-
day, and and in the afternoon began his
service as delegate to the Baptist State
Convention. Mr.. Dowd's position in
church and State is answer enough to
those pessimists who think that politics
and religion do not go together.
The Biblical Recorder notes that the re-
ceipts by the Treasurer of the Baptist
State convention for the year. as far as
reported, were as follows:
Forelgn Missions. ............S 9794.93
Home Missions. ........... 6,85S 60

Financial Clerk Watson reports $6.744
in cash collected this year for the Bap-
fist Female University.
Treasurer Briggs reports $2,2O1.S3 col
lected fer Wake Forest College, being
designated fer the Royal Chair.
The Orphanage year closes July 1st
The receipts for the year amount to about
$4,000
The full report will increase these sums
The Baptist Female University is the
great work OF the Baptist church of this
decade. 1t is a magnificent work The
institution is near the heart of the church
and during this. session of the convention
1t is proposed to start the ball in mo-
ton to raise $4,000 to free the institu-
ton from debt.

The presence of the large number of
young men in the convention is marked
They are finelooking body of young
men and many of the first pulpits of the
church are manned by young men. And
yet the number of young men who are
preparing for the ministry is decreas-
ing. In an article in this weeks Bip!i-
cal Recorder on Wake Forest College,
DR.. Charles e. Taylor says:
But / do think that more of our young
ministers ought now TO be students in
our College. In 1880. when we had a
total registration for the Fall Term of
1919 students. 81 were preparing for the
ministry. Now. out of a total of $3.50
only 43 are young ministers. In 1890
80 Clio per cent of the whole student
body were ministers. In 1885, &c $40 per
cent. In 1900, IA $40 per cent The
Virginia brethren are aroused because
Of the decrease in the number of their
young men who are entering the Baptist
ministry Does the same condition exist
in North Carolina?"

Crfticising Biblical History.

Is it right to pass Judgment finally
on the historical facts as set down in
the Bible merely because as yet they
do not coincide with history. so far as
authenticated elsewhere? We think
not 1t is the same story as with the
too ready acceptance as actual facts of
the conclusions of Bible critics. FIRE.
quently the result has been that these
mere opinions have had to be altered
within several years to meet the views
Of other scholars or newly discovered
facts. All this is in such a state of
fux that it were well on mooted points
to suspend judgment. Many con-
sentative scholars are now finding
fault with such as choose TO put down
as definite facts and conclusions what
are merely differences. Some day these
rash scholars will find themselves en-
tombed In their works.-Jewish Ex-
DOuent.
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1900-05-02

To be nobody in heaven. How dis
appointing it sounds. But surely, one
says. we shall all have mansions and
crowns and thrones, and we will all
be princes and kings. Certainly that
is being somebody. Certainly that is.
But where did you learn all that? No,
it is not so certain that we shall all
have gems and crowns-l mean we
who go to heaven. Did you not read
something about works? Works that
are to be wrought on earth? Works
that are to be tried by fire in the judg-
ment of the saints? And is there not
something said about works that are
like wood and hay and stubble. that
are easily consumed in the flame? And
other works that, like gold and silver
and precious stones, withstand the
fame and are purified and beautified
by it? Yes. and those whose works
are burned suffer loss. though they
are themselves saved, yet SO as by fire.
Just saved. That is all Just safely
admitted into Episcopal Re
corder.

SOUTH DEER ISLE.

The union here had a mothers meeting
this week. Texts and bible readings were
given bearing on the subject OF training
children, and ways and manners of treat
ing children were discussed.
Preparations for the county convention
are being made. 1t is expected that Mrs.
Helen q. Rice, Of Boston, will be the lee
turer.
Reports are now wanted by county SUI
perintendent and unions should he look
ing up the doings of the past year and
see that good report of department work
is made How many unions have helped
filled the W. c T. L column in THE
AMERICAN, and 10 what extent? How
many other papers have such column?
This Is what the press superintendent
wants to know.
W bat is the total mem bership Of each
union in ne county? How many have
held public meetings. How many sent
- to Mother National ? The CORE
spending secretary wants to know for her
report.
How much literature has been distrib-
uted9 How much flower mission work
has been done9 " hat about scientific
Temperance instruction in schools? Our
efficient superintendent OF that depart
ment, Miss Mary A Carroll, wants a good
report Of that work, but with some OF
those in high places so arrased against
it, there must be harp work TO get such a
report. Why should there be opposition
TO such a work as this. or worse still,
apathy, " hen the evil effects of drink are
so apparent? Report, sisters.
