Who Was Rich?

muttered boy, who had just found
crust of stale bread in garbage
barrel, as he eyed poorly-dressed
boy leaving baker shop with a
basket of whole, fresh loaves.
"If l were only as rich as he isl'

sighed the boy on the bicycle, as
another boy rolled past in Il pony
cart.
"If 1 was only as rich as he is !"
grumbled the boy in the pony-cart,
as he caught sight of lad on the
deck of beautiful private yacht.
'If l only was as rich as he is -
this lucky fellow wished as his
fathers yacht cruised in foreign
waters, as he spied one day a young
prince, attended by retinue Of
liveried servants.

impatiently growled the young
prince, thinking of the boy on the
yacht.
"If I could drive out alone with

Comfort.

The day is long, and the day is hard,
We are tired of the march and of keeping
guard;
Tired of the sense Of fight to be won,
OF days to live through and of work to ,De
done;
Tired Of ourselves and Of being alone,
Yet all the while, did we only see,
We walk i'll the Lords own company,
We fight, but tits He who nerves our a rn:
He turns tho arrows that else might
harm,
And out of the storm He brings a calm;
And the work that we count so,hard to do,
lie makes it easy, for He works, too;
And the days that seem long to live are
His,
DIT OF His bright eternities; and close
our need His helping is.

At Fifth Last Sunday.

On last Sunday morning, Prof. G.. w.
Hayes of the Virginia Seminary preach
ed very able and eloquent sermon at
the Fifth Street Baptist Church. The
great congregation was highly pleased
at the soul stirring sermon.
In the afternoon the funeral sermon
of Mr.. William Mayo, one of the aged
members of the church, was preached
by Rev. Marley of the Sixth = Mt Zion
Baptist Church.
AT night, Rev. DR.. Graham preached
to a large congregation on the subject,
Roadside Religion" The congrega-
ton was so stirred and moved by the
sermon until by the earnest request of
many, the sermon will be repeated to-
morrow morning.
The Fifth Street Church has now be-
gun in real earnest for their May rally
and they propose in this rally to pay of
the last cent of their indebtedness.

Brown, VIM. J. Woodson, Spencer Hen
~, also Deacon j. @. Farley, of First
Baptist Church, Deacon +. a. Washing
ton of the Mt. Olivet Baptist Church.
After a rendition by the choir, Prof.
J. r. l.. Diggs, Master Of Ceremonies
offered prayer. The hymn was lined by
Rev. J. w. Barco. Prof. Diggs then
read letters of commendation,
REV. DR.. GRAHAM's POWERFUL DIS
COURSE.
Rev. Graham read first four verses of
the 5th chapter of Peter. The choir
sang selection after which Rev DIR.
w. +. Graham preached. He paid a
glowing tribute to Rev. Joseph Perry
His subject, Feeding the Flock" was
taken from Peter chapter End verse.
He explained that many people did
not place the proper Importance ON the
pastorate. 1t was the greatest appoint
ment that could be given to man. The
appointment is of divine creation. 1t is
not an office created by man.
The church should not endeavor to
create the position or think that she has
created it.
A SOLEMN CHARGE.
1t is a solemn and grave charge TO be
buc pdStOI Ol a CnuECH. III mas lJS pleas
ant and unpleasant features.
Some would presume that it is one of
all sunshine and pleasure. 1t brings
this only in proportion as the minister
thinks that he has done his duty to God.
We see the position standing out
unique before the world. It has to do
with the church down here and heaven
up yonder. In this light we see the
great Importance of the position. Car
dinal features and characteristics must
enter into the work.
The pulpit has influenced and actuat-
ed the powers of the world. Men like
Fuller, like Beecher standing in a pulpit
for years, during the days of the aboli-
ton, creating sentiment, moulding and
shaping the opinion of the world, bring
ing about that day when the shackles OF
slavery should fall from ,000. 900 slaves
He spoke of Spurgeon's efforts in Lon.
don.
THE POWER OF THE MINISTRY.
The ministry in charge of churches
made civilization to large extent what
it is to-day.
The Apostle Peter with inspired for.
sight realized the importance of the pas.
tors. He would give one farewell word
of warning. AS you go forward if you
sing, if you exhort, if you preach; feed
the flock, don't preach to the ear only,
feed them.
The fiock is to be fed first by preach
