I'LL LIVE FOR THE LIVING.

L. W. Gillian, in Baltimore Herald.
A new mound rose near the foothills,
And my heart was underneath;
My friends were good. for they strewed it
With blossom and clinging wreath;
A voice came, borne on the stiffness:
Though the way seem hard, be true;
On-live thy life for the living,
As the dead have lived for you"
raised my hand unto heaven
And a pledge l made that day.
(The Voice had shown me my duty
And a light shone on the way.)
And these, the words of the promise,
That my constant guide shall be:
'I'll live my life for the living.
As the dead have lived for me-"
The dead since the earth was created,
Lived they not for you and me?
They made the world that we live in
Such a glorious place to bel
Take mine for your life's motto
1t will make you strong and true;
And live your life for the living,
As the dead have lived for you.

In addition to these letters expressing
the fraternal phase, the more practical one
of organization has been developed by the
formation of North Carolina societies in
New York. Baltimore, Norfolk, Richmond,
Philadelphia, Atlanta Macon, New Or
leans, Chicago, Seattle, and several other
cities and delegates have been selected to
represent thin in tn reunion.
Everything that could be done has been
done by the Board of Managers of the
Reunion Association, the various commit
tees and private individuals to make the
proper preparation for reunion visitors.
All arrangements are now complete, the
association forces and the city awaiting
with pride the oncoming thousands OF be-
loved ones at home and abroad Thorough
appreciation is felt and expressed here on
all sides at the cordial cooperation of so
many people and of the press of the State,
to make the reunion success and they
will always remember kindly those who
have shown such interest.
The stores, public buildings, and private
buildings will present a beautiful appear

flags and national colors entwined. The

Besides the central reunion headquar-

Last year the race track was not just
what it should be-grand stand spectators
could not see all the track because of
deep grade. This year the ground has
been leveled, and every man in the grand
stand can see the races from start to
finish. And the racesi Mr.. King says thar
1T is no exaggeration to say that the
longest and best string of horses will
be on his book ever yet seen Compel
ing for purses in this State. They are
horses with records made and not to
make. Some of them have gone under
the wire in 2:10 IA and some OF the
owners of others expect to break that
day. and unlike former years one of the
best will come off Tuesday. Seven States
have entered horses and this fact Is
perhaps enough of suggestion what the
speed ring will be, except to state that
the purses aggregate $4,000.
But the races are not all. The poultry
show-a distinct feature of the Central

ever before. There are over / 200 entries,

I'VE commend you most heartily in call

Loyal they all are to their native soil,
and what ever concerns the welfare
Of the State that gave them birth is
not without interest to them.
This reunion will be productive of
great good in that it will show the rapid

will gather new inspiration.

Greensboro, N. c., Oct. 10.-The reunion
of North Carolinians residing in other
States to be held in Greensboro October
18th and 18th, will be the most interest
ing event in our State during the year.
In January last the city of Greensboro de-
cided to have reunion of nonresident
sons and daughters of North Carolina, and
asked the State to join in the invitation
While Greensboro is the local hostess and
will entertain most royalty all who will
come within her gates, yet the celebra-
ton, the invitation are not local, are not
Greensboro's. They belong to the whole
State, and the whole State will join
Greensboro in making the occasion one
of the most honorable in our history. The
Governors message to the General AS
sembly and the joint resolutions adopted
by that body, already published, set forth
fully and eloquently the objects of the
reunion.
The press of the country, voicing the
sentiment of the people of the whole Com
monwealth, welcomed the suggestion of a
reunion of native North Carolinians resid-
ing in other States, and have co-operated
with the local committees in bringing the
matter to the attention of North CAROLYN
ians everywhere.
The response from the scattered abroad
shows that they are coming in large mum
beers if not an hundred thousand strong"
and coming with the filial love of all North
Carolinians for their mother State. Some
of them have grown rich in their new
homes-they are leaders in law, in COM
merce, manufacturing and agriculture;
they have married in the home of their
adoption; they are closely identified with
the communities and States which they
have helped to build-but there is not one

Carolinians who will not be in Greens

who died after being here just Is years {
The records of the church tor these 20
J years were kept by the pastors. Since
that time we have had six ministers, all
of whom are living. The longest pastor
ate of these later years is that of our
present minister, Rev. J. K. Williams,
who has been with us IS years. We
hope he will remain as long as DR.. Fair
banks preached to his people in st.
Johnsbury and then like him continue to
make bis home among his people.
The church building at first stood up
on the hill near the soldiers monument.
1t was moved to it's present location in
1914.
In 1894 we celebrated the Tooth birth
day of the church. To say that it was
an exceedingly interesting occasion to all
Peachamites at home and abroad would
be stating the case mildly. The sermon
of the day, the addresses, etc, were put
into book-formand to this am indebt-
ed today without using quotation marks
all the way through.-The sermon was
preached by one of the sons of the church
whom she delighted to honor. Rev.
Moses Martin, who has within the past
year joined the church above.
The church has legitimate pride in
the record of it's children at home and
elsewhere. To quote from this sermon
"the church in Peacham has furnished for
every learned profession and for every
branch of human industry men and wo-
men who have blessed their own town
and the world. city which is set upon
hill cannot be hid. Ministers and
teachers have gone from it all over the
land and its foreign missionaries have
been found in Africa, Turkey, India, in
Ceylon, in Japan and in the islands of
the sea-"
The records for the years between the
coming of the first settlers in 1776 to the
building of the church in 1906 are not
very full. But we can imagine the pur-
pose oil these men tor the right traiuing
of their children. Their numbers were
few, their money hardly earned. Yet
after having built an Academy they
raised $4,000 for their first church. Mr..
Worcester said at this time in this
town as IN most Others there appear to
be some very serious, good people and
some who are bad enough, at least"
But" he adds, II am told there is not
family in town which is habitually absent
from public worship when they have
preaching"
Sunday schools were formed in the
state in 1914. Ours began in 1917.
Missionary societies. home and foreign
benevolent societies, Christian Endeavor,
etc., have existed for many years. Many
things have been done. No doubt much
has been left undone, but let us, mot
forgetting those things which are behind
and reaching forth into those which are
before, press toward the mark for the
prize of the high calling of God in Christ
Jesus."
