Ctowan Ministers Conference.

The Chowan Baptist Minis
ter's Conference met in Eliza
beth City April IS, 1901. DR..
r. K. OVERLY called the confer
ence to order; w. A. Ayers read
scripture from Collossians 81
Is, and w. J Crowson led IN
prayer. The nrst matter offered
for consideration, was the move
ment to raise 100000 for edu-
cation; and since $500, OF this
amount was to be raised by the
Chowan Association, some effort
.as nade-to apport1on this
amount to the churches of this
Association. We were very
glad to have Bro E. +. Aydlett
with us IN our morning session.
Bro. Aydlett has a great law
practice, but is never too busy to
help in church work. After the
discussion of the educational
matter, Conference adjourned
until 2:3o P. m.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The Conference re assem- bled
at $50 o. m. Bro. w. J. Crow
son, who had been for sometime
a mem Der of the Methodist Cons
ference and who had recently
been received into the BAPTIST
church here, was then given an
opportunity, at his request, to
state his reasons for change in
his church relationship. After
some conversation with Bro.
Crowson, tie Conference was
fully satisfied as to his orthodoxy
and character; and regarding
him as fully qualified for work
and an active and useful man,
we gladly welcome him to our
midst and commend him to our
people. On motion I. w. Duke
was asked to present at our next
a study of the Eplsle TO the
Galations. All are expected to
take all active part in this study,
and thus make our meeting to-
gether a great help both intel
lectually and spiritually. 1t is
of every Baptist preach
in this Association, that he be
present and contribute to the 1n~
terests of this Conference. The
Conference then adjourned to
meet again on Tuesday after
first Sunday in May. Prayer
by Josiah Elliott.

BREAKERS AHEAD.

nave Deen somewhat uSLiold1IZ-
ed by the overwhelming defeat
of the National Democratic Party
in The two last campaigns nc
one can doubt who is at all OBJ
servant
1t will be remem bered that
Immediately after the election
last November, there was con-
siderable talk of Reorganization
and plans and suggestions made
looking to the adjustment OF
party lines so as to revive the
hopes and kindle again the
enthusiasm of the defeated party.
The rank and file of true demo-
cracy did not take to the sug
gestion. They were defeated,
but defeat did not mean, to them
that their principles were wrong.
Now we have another effort
being foisted upon the attention
of the country. Senator Nc
Laurin, of South Carolina, IS
the exponent of a new doctrine
for Democracy, a sort Of McK1n
ley Democracy, which the Will
1nington Star says is as "devold
of principle as iceberg is OF
warmth" Let US move slowly.
The Ieffersonian principles are
impregnable and must stand as
the bulwark of true democracy
today, as of yore. We do not
need Republican principles and
Republican policies sapdwlched
among true Democratic princ1~
pies in order to strengthen our
cause. Popular opinion may be
caught and held tor awhile by
such methods, bat IN the end IT
means the utter humiliation OF
all true principles. To surren~
der one, means, III the end to
give up all.
There are breakers ahead and
we trust our people will anchor
and ride out the stu1m for it will
not be long until the clouds will
disperse and all things be again
serene. We are too prone to
follow the lead of some man Or
men who put themselves at the
head of the column, and when
they are defeated they insist that
the party has gone down. That
mistakes have been made is as
evident as that the Sun shines.
But has 1t not been the mistake
in M en- rather than in measures?
Already the uncertainty OF
what to do is having its effec,
on a great many, and Tom, Dick
and Harry, are being suggested
as possibilities for 1904.
There is only one thing to do
Lay down a platform clear, ex
plicit, honest and broad, EN-.
bodying true Jeffersonian princi'
pies and let the man come to the
platform instead of carrying the
platform to him. The two last
campaigns witnessed the sorry
plight of a great party surrend>
ering its convictions and better
Judgment to the dictum Of its So
called leaders. Never let tt be
said Of us again. The best way
TO invite defeat is to acknow>
ledge ourselves defeated in the
BEGINNING.
