The lack of ostentation in the recorded ut terances of our Lord reflect only the simplicity and absolute spirituality of his life among men.
 Then comes Luke. the historian, the beloved physician. He was a careful compiler of facts as an eyewitness and minister of the Word. Luke claim to confidence as an historian of the highest order is absolute. for he has given to us careful. and at the same time vivid statements concern ing the history of the time of which he wrote, which incluces the life Of Je- sus Christ
 delineation of his own character. Simple, loving truthfulness is display ed in each chapter. An unconscious egoism in speaking of himself as the one whom Jesus loved There is sublime pathos. tenderness, showing how near to Christ he really was. And withal a touch Of retrospection and of reminiscence as it must have been, for it lacks the historical sequence as is found in Luke. Only a quiet rela- tion afterwards of tender memories.
 And Paul, that great brain, great orr ra&A How full of earnest breeding and watchfulness for the little church here and the little church there,
 In literary worth his letters are beautiful in expression of loving kind ness and remembrances and timely advice, but lacking in orderly gener- alization-by the same showing his great earnestness.
 Unlike Pauls Epistles is the Epis- tie to tie Hebrews. Stu3ie- in rhet- orical style, it is a hig&.y cultured piece of literary composition It is logical and argumentative. and is care full to offer proofs for what f affifms, being solicitoCs at all times of it's merits before scholarly minds.
 In the Book of Revelations is the one classic of New Testament Proph- e5y. Its authorship is generally con- ceded 10 John. the son of Zebedee, anc was probably written between the years 54 and 6S A.

Sub lime in it's mysteries and simple in it's prophecies as viewed from the later history of Jerusalem and the rise of Christianity in the world
 And now we will just notice the effect of the Bible upon literature. There is Shakespeare quoting and transcribing for his most beautiful thoughts. Even Shelley, who calls its pages accursed, quotes almost bod fly in his Defense of Poetry"
 And Tennyson, Browning, Ruskin, Emerson, Carlyle, Eliot, in fact all whose literature lives and will live.

NEED WARM WEATHER
Ihe Crop Conditions Improve
Though Slowly.
Corn Doing WelI--cotton Grows Slow and Lit
lie Too Much Rain for General and
Rapid Improvement.

The weekly crop bulletin of the North
Carolina section of the Climate and Crop
Service, issued by the Weather Bureau
for the week ending Monday, June 30,
1908, says:
THE mean temperature for the past
week was about "a degrees for the State
at large and was degrees below the
daily normal in the central portion. There
was generally too much cloudy weather
and rain for the best growth of crops,
and teamwork In many counties made very
little progress. The rainfall on the 22nd
and 26th was extremely heavy in several
counties, resulting IN the washing of land
and considerable injury to crops; there
was also much damage by hail in few
sections, notably Pitt, Onslow, Davidson
and CASTOR counties. The abundance oil
moisture has caused a rapid growth of
grass and weeds and crops have become
rather grassy again; however, in large
number of counties the amount of rain
fall was just sufficient, cultivation was
not interfered with, and crops are in good
condition. Warmer weather with more
sunshine is needed to advance growth
more rapidly, but improvement IN all crops
continues, though slowly
The weather has been very favorable
for corn during the past few weeks, and
over most of the central eastern portion
of the State it has improved materially,

OF the Blue Ridge much corn is just re-
ceiving its first cultivation; in some places

land corn. The growth of cotton has been
slow; too much rain and cloudy weather,
preventing cultivation, has brought large
portion of the crop into a very grassy
state; in the south some plants have died
from black rust; lice continue to lnilrc
the crop; there has, however, been some

Let's Leave EN- Out,

Mr. F. B. Arendell was asked for an
expression of opinion on the result
THE figures speaks for themselves" ne
replied, "and all ]. have to say, is that If
the citizens of Raleigh wanted the limits
of the city extended they had very in
active way of showing it.
1T was the unvoted vote that decided
the question. If that vote had had energy
enough to have gone to the polls the re-
suit might have been different.
"As / have remarked before from my
own experience with and observation of
the campaign, it was predicated upon
every whim, political, social and industrial
that has foated in our atmosphere for
many, many months. Therefore / do not
believe that the question has been settled
upon its merits.
II had certainly no personal interest IN
the matter, and any activity that was
manifested on my part was prompted by
a firm and honest conviction that if the
affirmation of the question prevailed 1T
would rebound to the city's advancement
and upbuilding, and to the material i'll
terest of its people.

We've Been Left Out.

In an interview held last night with Mr..
]. N. Holding, chairman of the anti-ex-
tension forces. about the result of the
election yesterday he said that the cam
paign for and against extension had been
vigorous and extensive on the part OF
the supporters of both sides of the ques-
ton; that the friends of the measure had
fought good fight for extension, but
that the vote showed beyond doubt that
the business interests of the city did not
favor extension.
He further stated that he was gratified
at the action of the city attorney, Mr..
wv. L. Watson, in going to the various
wards and informing the registrars and
judges of election that the orders made
by them last Saturday to erase from the
registration books the names of all per-
sons challenged, who failed TO appear
and prove their right to vote, were or
roneous and contrary to the provisions Of
the election law He thinks this advice
of the city attorney was not only cor
rect construction of the law, but he also
thinks his action is to be commended from
party standpoint.
Mr. Holding stated that he had con-
tended ever since last Saturday that if
the orders of the registrars and judges OF
election were allowed to stand such rul-
ings would be used as precedents in the
next political campaign in this county,
and would bring about much confusion
in party ranks and give the Republicans
the power to challenge and greatly an
noy every registered Democrat in future
elections. !, a,4
Mr.. Holding and the other attorneys
who have been working against city ex-
tension have all the While claimed that
the act of the legislature required a ma
jority of the registered qualified voters,
and not majority of the votes cast, and
they have not been disturbed by the re
cent rumors that the friends of extension
would claim the election if only ma
iority of votes cast were in favor of OK
tension. 1895
when he heard last night that Mr..
Watson promptly stated that the measure
was defeated as soon as It was ascertained
that only five hundred and ifty-four votes
had been cast for extension, Mr.. Hold
ing said THAT is just what ! expected
Mr.. Watson to say, for he has given the
question careful study and is well in.
formed on the legal phase of it, and is
too good a lawyer to contend otherwise y
"And besides" said Mr.. Holding. "the
extensionists themselves would hardly
make such a contention now, after they
have stated in the papers that the rea-
son for challenging so many of those who
had registered was because they had to
fight the registered vote in this election"
Mr.. Holding and his co-workers are
much elated over the victory, and they
