cheers at every step while he was
conducted through the lines
to the hotel. In the ! o b b y
the veterans and others were pre-
sented to General Lee, who was
afterwards conducted to the parlors
up stairs where he was rendered
an informal reception by the
Daughters of the Confederacy.
A splendid ardience greeted Gen.
Lee last light at the opera house
which had been beautifully decor
ated by the ladies. BY special in
vitation the veterans occupied seats
on the stage. The distinguished
speaker was introduced by Judge
Jno. N. Henderson. He is a man
of imposing military appearance,
address and decisive
manner. His subject was "The
United States in Peace and War,
a comprehensive theme, epitomiz
ing the history Of our country,
but dealing chiefly with the facts
and events connected with the
Spanish-American war. General
Lees personal knowledge of the
subject lent vivid interest to his
discourse, which was replete with
ihrilling incidents and strong in
descriptive power.

was bitten and afterwards, and
subsequently died. Mr.. Jenkins
was perfectly calm and self pos

the hope is expressed that he may
be suffering from overwork and ex-

Drawing Near the End.

broken ones, there is less reluctance
10 our minds to approach the end.
The mere act Of dying is one that
seldom affrights o reasonable being,
and it is rarely that death bed scene
Is otherwise than peaceful and SOL
emn. Whatever terrors it may have
had for the imagination when it was
remote and uncertain, when death is
inevitable human nature seems to
SUMMON all its courage and dignity to
meet it calmly. The child, the youth,
vigorous manhood, old age, the great
est sinner, or the purest saint, all
meet 1t bravely, even when conscious
ness remains to the last, some Of them
upheld BY a firm faith in God, others
by the stoicism that will not yield to
fear. But in the majority Of deaths
we believe the, mind is SO dulled by
illness that it does not fully realize
that the end has come.
Wien comparing life to a journey
we spoke of the anxiety that naturally
comes to one, as ne draws neal his
destination, concerning the value Of
the credentials he is carrying with him
into that new place. In the same
way as we draw near death we cannot
bnt think at times of what awaits us
beyond the grave, and question our
selves as to the reasonableness Of our
hope that we may win eternal life.
The man who has led comparatively
moral and upright life too often fat
ters himself that upon this ground he
may expect that his existence will be
extended throughout eternity; ignor-
ing the fact that-either wilfully or
through ignorance of the truth-that
nothing we can do is sufficient to in
sure a gift which is only to be won
through faith in God and our Saviour.
lime and again the Bible tells in
nearly the same words that it is only
by such faith eternal life is secured A;
then all our works are but as thank
offerings laid on the altar out Of graft
tude for all thai has been done for us.
AS a rule the good works we regard
with so much self satisfaction, and
upon which we build our hope Of
Heaven, have not been done because
they were pleasing to God, but be-
cause we were naturally upright. pure
minded and charitable, and it was
pleasant to ourselves t. 10 such deeds.
Speaking to nation that depended
too much on works the Prophet Isaiah
said: "All our righteousness are
as filthy rags" and strong as the
term is, it is none too strong to de-
scribe the poor, pitiful little acts that
we dare to think should entitle US to
Immortality. - Charleston Sunday

Negroes Don't Migrate.

There were 100000 colored per-
sons in the United States in 1880,
7,56O,000 in 1890, and 100000 in
1900. A general movement Of colored
inhabitants from one State to another
or from one section of the country to
another, due to economic, political or
hygienic reasons, has been declared to
be in progress at intervals OF two OK
three years since the close Of the civil
war.
But the figures Of each succeeding
census prove that the colored popula-
tion Of the United States is by no
means migratory; it changes little year
by year except as the result Of the or
dinary increase in population. Vari-
GUS ambitious projects of leaders to
colonize certain States have failed en-
tirely.
