regards the color, Look not on the wine
when it is red, when it giveth its color
n the cup 1t is remarkable that the
Hebrew word, channels, in Exodus Kill,
Is, 20, which we have translated, fermen-
tation, is used sometimes as an adjective,
and when used as such signifies some
thing red. If this is SO, then it must
refer to red, fermented wine.
Beides these scriptural proofs and many
others common sense is opposed to wine
fermented. The saved drunkard comes
to communion. Would you put for him
at the Lords table what you would not
put on your own table? How could you
lead weak brother into such tempta-
ton?
Touch not the unclean thing" lest
YOU cause brother to stumble. The
writer was a member OF a church that
used fermented wine at communion. At
that time he had not considered the diff
ference between zfermented and infer
mented wine for the Lords table.
Meeting a friend of mine one day I
asked him why he had not been to COM
munion. and his answer was, :Couldn' t
stoma oh the winei" And the only excuse
the minister had FOR this was that by
using this kind Of wine a tavern supplied
it for nothing!
Not very long since. in Amsterdam,
n. Y. two thieves broke into church
and began to pillage about the altar
Among the things they found was a bot
tie of communion wine. This was drunk
on the premises. But the wine was SC
strong and it intoxicated them to such
an extent that one Of them could not
escape, but was found in a helpless con-
dition in the morning. Shame on the
church that offers such wine to hel
communicates!

INTERCOLLEGIATE DEBATE.
Polemic Contest Between Randolph
Macon and Richmond College.

POlemic Contest Between Randolph
Macon and Richmond College.
On next Friday evening Richmond Col
lege and Randolph-Macon will meet in
joint debate at Ashland Much interest
is manifested in the contest, as this IS
the second debate between these two in
stitutions. the first having been won by
Richmond in the contest last year in this
city. The question to be discussed Is
one in which all should be interested
Resolved, That United States Senators
should be elected by direct vote of the
people" Richmond will maintain the
affirmative. and Randolph-Nacon the
negative side of the question.
Randolph Macon will be ably repre-
scented by Messrs. D. r. Anderson and
Earl Riley. Mr.. Anderson has the repu-
tation of being one of the most forcible
speakers at his college; while Mr.. Riey's
ability is well known, he having repre-
scented his college in the last contest.
Richmond sends as her champions
Messrs. B. Mercer Hartman and John
s. Eggleston, both law students and MEM
bers Of the NIu Sigma Rho Society. In
these young gentleman Randolph-SIacon
will find worthy foemen. Mr.. Hartman's
career as a debater is one of marked
success. Since he entered college he has
served as president OF his society, and
also captured its Best Debaters Medal.
Mr. Eggleston. president of the Law
Class. has a career of which any young
speaker might be proud. He has the
honor also Of being a shining light in
the Randolph Society. one of the Oldest
organizations of it's kind in the South.
As a member of that and other organi-
cations he has often participated in
public debates, and has always shown his
ability to maintain any position to which
he might be assigned, and hold his own
against any and all opponents. The
Randolph Society will attend in body
With these four speakers on the pro-
Eramme, the debate must certainly be
interesting, instructive and forcible The
judges who will decide the merits of the
debate are: Hon. S. G. White and Hon.
r. 81. Cardwell. of the Supreme Court.
and Rev. Jere Witherspoon, D. D., of
the First Presbyterian Church of this
city.
The debaters will leave Richmond at
ESQ T. Al. Friday, and return on the
train reaching here about midnight.
About five hundred friends and admirers
of the Richmond representatives will ac-
company them and cheer them on to
victory.
After the contest reception will be
rendered the Richmond visitors by the
students of Randolph-N1acon.

THE RESERVE FUND.
The following has been issued from Ma
tional headquarters:
Judging from the long list of letters,
commencing the action Of the last Ma
tional Convention in passing the amend
ment in reference to the reserved fund
feature, the majority of the members all
over the country are very much pleased
with this particular clause. Not since
the organization of our Association has
anything ever been done at its National
Convention that will eventually prove as
good a. feature as the reserved fund will,
and we are glad to see at least ninety
nine per cent. of the entire membership
agree with the National officers. This
makes our organization impregnable and
places it, prior to any of it's kind in the
country. The report from the different
State divisions, up to January LIST, gives
our total membership as 1850; of that
part Virginia has 700. which places it
eleventh in grade position of all of the
divisions, which we consider a very hon
orable place.
We are glad to report that in the in
IDENTITIES paid out last month, Virginia
numbers were not enormous as some
others, still the Association paid to four
members of the division s4O7.12.
The letter from B.gW. Rend, of the
Plant System of Railways, caused our
Association a great deal of sincere pleas
ure. This line is one of the first to grant
our Association interchangeable mileage,
a feature which the Association has been
working for since its organization. All
our members should publish it, and feel
proud that they have been instrumental
in securing this concession from this
grand system, and use still greater eff
forts to induce the other lines to do like
wise.
