Perhaps there is not a better and
more practical business college in
the South than Peele's Practical
Business College, of Raleigh. 1t is
not the c%lap-trap school that makes
all sorts of promises, but makes NO
promise that it doesn't fulfill. It is
endorsed by the best people and liz
run by men of sense and ability. Not
a single full graduate is idle, and all
it's pupils are it's friends.

SCHOOL ATTENDANCE GOOD.
The visitation of the schools in town
fer the fall term which is now nearly
completely shows there are very few who
are not attending school regularly. The
efforts of the school visitor to compel
those who are habitually absent for the
greater part Of the year, has resulted in a
diminution of delinquents from year to
year, until there is now but one district
whose register shows any, and it is hoped
that with the aid of the state agent it
will be stopped in that district.

The subject Of the missionary meeting
in our church this evening is "Ihe Medi-
cal Work OF the American Board" Now
God has pleased the work of the medical
missionary; He Ia blessing it to-day.
Indeed it would be difficult to select,
among the manifold agencies which are
being employed by the Church Of Jesus
Christ at this present time for extending
the wide borders OF the Kingdom Of
Heaven, any one agency that God has
more fruitfully blessed than the work Of
medical missions on the foreign mission
airy field. God has blessed this work, l
say, from its very incipiency; and at no
point in its history has 1t more complete
ly received the approval Of Heaven than
at this present moment. Now what does
this mean? God sanctions by His favor
only that which is lawful and right and
good; and the fact that He has unmis-
takably sanctioned by His favor the work
of the medical missionary shows that
this work is lawful and right and good.
A great deal Of discussion Is going on
to-day with reference to the subject Of
Divine Healing. 1t is subject which we
may say Is "up" at this time; to discuss
10 now is certsiDly to be discussing q
timely topic.
What Is Divine Healing? What do IL g
advocates of Divine Healing say? Upon
what foundation does it restP It rests
upon a certain conception Of sickness and
q certain view of the mission OF Jesus
ChrlCt. Divine Healing has been so
much COMPOUNDED with Christian Science
and other isms that 1t Is pretty hard to
set strict, clear line of cleavage, and
get this so thoroughly apart by Itself
that we can know Just what we are trying
to define; but we will try.) Divine Heal.
Ing rests upon the conception that all
sickness comes as the result Of sin; like
every other form Of sin, it is the work of
the Devil; none OF 1t comes from above.
1t Is all from beneath; 1t is all of the
earth, earshy. Divine Healing also rests
upon the view, in relation to Jesus Christ,
that His m mission on earth was to heal the
body as well as cure the soul. This, the
advocates OF this doctrine say, Jesus
Christ did when He was here upon the
earth. He claansed the lepers, opened
blinded eyes, unstopped deaf ears, re-
stored palsied hands, made paralytics to
walk; the Gospel narratives are filed
with the story OF what Jesus did to make
men whole every whit. Aud, 50 those
who are putting forward this doctrine
claim, Jesus has not changed; IL 10 the
same Jesus; behold, He is ''the same
yesterday, to-day and forever" He has
not changed, we have changed. He IL
able and willing to heal the body now, If
we only look to Him In faith and prayer;
for the meatand kernel Of Divine Healing
Ii that sickness can be cured by prayer
