present son:e facts bearing upon the
great work which these Christian wo-
men have at heart. I shall then try to
show upon great Scriptural principle the
work is based.
/. 'The Presbytery of Albemarle, TO
which this church belongs, covers more
than thirty counties in Northeastern
North Carolina. 1t has thirty four
churches; until the death of DR.. John
ston, fourteen ministers, 1900 commun-
icants Of the fourteen min sters,
about one half are wholly supported by
their churches; the others are 'evange-
lists in the strict sense of that word,
preaching in destitute places, working
hard in both regular and protracted
meetings, living upon salaries not OK
ceeding $780, and often with great de-
lay in the payment of even this meagre
support by the Home Mission Commit
tee. The Presbytery raised last year for
Foreign Missions about $1,000, and for
Home Missions about $1,50O. Albemarle
Presbytery is regarded as the great mis-
sion field of the Synod
THE Synod of North Carolina has
seven Presbyteries and covers the State.
There are within the Synod - ministers,
37S churches and about $4,000 communi-
cants. The Synod gave to Home Mis-
sions last year over $29, 900 and to For
eign Missions over $21 000
1.-THE General Assembly of the South :
ern Presbyterian church has thirteen
Synods, covering the South and en-
bracing nearly seventy nine Presbyteries,
nearly 1900 ministers, nearly 5000
| churches and about 22S,000 communi-
cants. The contribution to Foreign Mis-
sions last year was about $135000 and
to Home Missions about $l51 900; TO tEe
work for negroes 81, 900 and to the sup
port of aged ministers 5000.

to the question, what is the vital Scrip
work is based?
THAT principle is made known in the
text. The church is warm and SYM
pathetic body, having many members,
some strong, some weak, and Christ the
head of all. The strong must help the
weak and hold fellowship with Christ,
the Head, through the poor and suffer
ing members of His body.
THE weak, If supported, become con-
tributors to the strong. Some of the
best members in strong churches came
from weak churches. The heart sends
the blood to the, weak member, which
returns it to the heart again in the
general circulation.
Again the weak may in time become
the strong. One of our churches In a

Goldsboro, N. c., December 9TH
While some of her sister towns were
sleeping the sleep of indifference, Colds
boro has kept an eye open to her future,
and as result the foot of the whistle
of many new manufacturing plants awake
us in the early morning, reminding us
that the march of progress is on.
Within year, in a manufacturing way,
there has been added to her industrial
life number of large plants, represent
ing large expenditure, giving employ
ment to several hundred men, women
and children, among these the Borden
Manufacturing Company, hosiery yarns;
The Royal Felt Company, makers of felt
for mattresses and manufacturers of the

The Goldsboro Table Company The r.
E. Jones Buggy Company; The Colds
boro Buggy Company; The A. It. Griffin

Works, makers and builders of railway
locomotives and repairers of all classes
of machinery.
These and all other enterprises here have
proven success. Every enterprise here
is appreciated, but none more so than

The Acme Machine Works was incor-
1st of March of this year, the doors OF
this most excellently equipped establish
ment, which occupy half block or more
on Centre and Ashe streets, were thrown
wide open to the public. There were,
even among Goldsboroians, some doubt
ing Thomases,' who questioned the wis
dom of its promoters, and who could see
nothing but failure ahead. Soon the
spacious yards and commodious buildings
were filled with boilers locomotives and
various species of machinery for repairs
and rebuilding and things went hum
ming. Even with this evidence 'of real
life and progress, now and then the voice
of doubling Thomas could be heard
family whispering, 1.-THE Acme can't do
it, they are not equipped for such work,
they can't get the expert mechanics neces-
sary, &C." All the while the work went
merrily on. An old rusty. apparently
worthless "corner" went forth beautiful

forth an echo DER hill and dale, 1.-THE

but it builds and amt No. a beaut?
That echo finds voice among our entire
people. for they are proud of this work of
a new era in our manufacturing life
Dotted throughout our southland are nu-
merous short line railways yet in their
infant days with no equipment for re-
pairs and these have been forced, prior
to the starting up of the Acme, to seek
the crowded shops of trunk line railways,
only to be treated with indifference or to
great delays. Not so now. Here in the
Old North State, in her best town is a
plant with an equipment equal to the best
where locomotives are not only repaired
and rebuilt, but built anew. The Acme
Machine Works is ia every respect an up
to-date plant employing some % to 30
expert mechanics, and, under the watch
full eve and careful hand of Ed. c.. Sas-
lser its efficient master mechanic, a
Wake county boy of Wayne county pa

being equal to the wants or demands OF

THE JAPANESE THEATER.
Actors Reach the Stage by Walking
THROUGH Middle Of Audience,

As a rule, the oaly things that faS-
cinate the tourist in Japanese play
are the Quaintness OF the stage ar
engagements and the weird unintelligi-
bility of the acting. The stage is enor-
nous and the actors reach 1t by walk
ing through the audience ON two plat
forms extending from the back OF the
auditorium to the footlights. Proper
ties are removed during the perform
ance by attendants in black cloaks
who are supposed to be invisible. As
rule, two long plays arc presented
consecutiveIy, with tablcau between,
and the performances begin at 10
o'clock in the morning You leave your
shoes at one of the many tea houses
around the thoater and enter your box
to find it supplied with tobacco box,
tea and cakes, with luncheon to come
The voices on the stage at once strike
you as hard and artificial, and either
too shrill or too gruH. But the reason
is plain. "The traditional samisen,
the three-stringed guitar follows the
performer like a curse from start to
finish. Unless he pitched his voice
above or below it's notes he could not
be heard There is no doubt of the
effect on the audience, Especially do
the wonderful facial expressions of the
actors work upon the women A rush
to the tear room" during a pathetic
passage is quite common. There the
susceptible playgoer may weep her
heart out ian comfort.
AS men and women are not allowed
to appear on the same stage the fe-
male parts are taken by men; on the
other hand, at some theaters, where
the performers are all women, you
may see male parts sustained by &C
tresses. This is only one among the
many conventions and restrictions
which hamper the drama in Japan.
Another is the extraordinary ascend
ancy of the actor over the author. A
successful actor Is the darling OF the
people, purses are thrown at his feet
as he walks toward the stage, and love
letters are sent to his dressing room,
for "the Japanese matinee girl is very
susceptible" He may make S25000 in
four weeks. The author is only one
member of a kind Of committee which
devises the play and his remuneration
is trumnery-Th Academy.

Il believe It is a grand success. We

children being out after hours, but
when one does come in II is from some
section Of the city not covered by the
officers regularly. and an officer sent

people would suffer the children TO
be out to any great extent without

partment to their duty in the matter.

Prince AdaIbert's Dog Had to Go.

Prince Adalbert, who has entered
the German navy for a course of train
ing, has received at the outset Of his
career a lesson in discipline. He had a
pet terrier, which accompanied him
wherever he went. He took the dog
with him on board the training ship,
bat as soon as the captain heard of it
the prince was ordered TO send the
dog ashore. The prince was inclined
to dispute the authority Of the captain,
and claimed that orders which were
applicable to other officers did not
affect a prince of the imperial family.
The captain is said to have at once
communicated with the emperor, who
as promptly sent his son a message
that entirely dlspelled from his mind
all ideas of favoritism. The dog was
seat ashore, and the prince has dis
covered that as an officer In the Ger
man navy his only credentials for dis
tinction above his fellows will be those
he earns.-Westminste Gazette.
