Burlington N. c., April 13.-The Edu-

which is in session at this place, is at
tracing large crowds and much interest

Baptist choir led by the charming and

at the Graded school.

with a sermon by Rev Livingston john
son, corresponding secretary of Board of
Missions, Baptist state Convention Our
people were charmed with his eloquence
and DISCOURSE nthe subject of THE
State Mission Work in North Carolina
Its Past, Present and Future
In the evening at o'clock N B..
Broughton, of Raleigh. talked to a large
crowd, on the subject that is so near his
heart, "The Sunday School Work, What
it Has Done and What it Means to the
Evangelization of the World" Mr..
Broughtons lecture was listened to with
rapt attention by a crowded house, and
a great impetus was given the Sunday
one of common sense, and as he told of
the great work that the Sunday schools
all over the country were doing, and of
the opportunities Sunday schools had of
bringing the wayward of the earth to
better lives, and thus bringing them to
better citizenship, no one could fail to
determine to give this part of the Chris
tian work more attention. The Sunday
school, he said, had more advantage of
exerting an influence for good than any
other auxiliary of the church, in that lis
influence took in all humanity, both old
and young, men and women and boys
and girls, and that every time the Sun
day school saved from the strests or
slums an individual, it saved to the State
useful citizen.
