Rev. ]. D. Huffman.

In its notes about the Baptist
State convention in Charlotte last
week, the Observer says this of DR..
Hufham:
Rev. j. d. Hufham. the venerable
walking delegate of the Baptist con-
vention is always saying something that
arrests attention. He said Saturday
that the Roman Catholics worked their
good men while they lived and after they
died He meant that the Catholics did
not allow the influence of good man to
die, and by suggestion DR.. Hufham COM
mended the idea. He did not say that
the Baptists, or any other denomination.
or any part of the secular world had a
habit OF remembering men who died
The memory of not one man in ten
thousand lives beyond decade. Most
men are forgotten on the tomorrow af-
ter death.
And DR.. Hufham said he was glad he
was nearing the end-glad he had been
through the battle and was about to
pass out into the unknown. He said
this in blythe way sort of fashion; yet
it was a big thought DR.. Hufham has
done a lot of good has been unselfish is
healthy, and yet he is happy in the
thought of dying. One can imagine that
man may suffer so much that he wants
to die. But the ability to meet death
easily, joyously, triumphantly comes
only as one OF the two perfect earthly Of
ierings OF Christianity. The other bless
ing is the continuous wish to live rightly

The Press Association Misrepresented
Raleigh Progressive Farmer.


The North Carolina Press Associa-
ton has been rather roundly crltl-
cised in some quarters; first, for al
legged meddling with the Bassett mat
ter. and, second, for the alleged re-
fusal of the members to meet Presi-
dent Roosevelt. As matter OF fact,
there were only three men in the Con-
vention who wished the body to act
officially on the Bassett controversy;
that the leaders OF these three persis-
tently refused to comply with the
Association wish that he keep quiet,
is no fault OF the membership at
large. That the editors as a class
had no desire to be meddlesome is
shown by the fact that only by one
majority was the motion carried to
consider the matter of the Daniels
effigy burning As for the New York
Suns sensational story that the edi-
tors would have refused to take
Roosevelt's hand, had a White House
visit been arranged, it is only neces-
sary to say that we were with the
members all the time. and not one
word or intimatiOn OF such a plan
did we hear. There were, it is true,
few Roosevelt supporters in the
party, but the North Carolina edi-
tors are not so narrow minded as to
treat the President of the nation dis
courteously, whatever his politics.

PRECEPT AND EXAMPLE.

III the Baptist State Convention,
at Charlotte Saturday, a resolution
was passed misunderstanding the
running Of Sunday trains. In the re-
port OF those who spoke upon the
resolution is the following, taken
from the Observer.
"Mr. j. W. Bailey said he thought
the Convention had something to do
with the matter if it wished to have.
The Baptists needn't give up their
faith in or allegiance to the sacred
ness Of the Sabbath merely because
other people or corporations disre-
gard it. He was opposed to Sunday
trains and Sunday newspapers. "
And on Sunday morning last, Mr..
Bailey passed through Durham, go
ing to Raleigh.-Durham Sun.
Oh well, in as much as the trains
were going to run anyhow it was no
harm to ride on Sunday. Doubtless
so thought Editor Bailey.

John r. Morris.
Charlotte Observer

Nov cracks a noble heart" No
more fitting comment upon the death
of John r. Morris could be made
than that of Horatio upon the death
OF the Dane. To the Observer his
passing is an unaffected grief. He
knew he was soon to die; has known
it for year; and he was not afraid;
but, perhaps, he did not know he was
to die SO early; certainly. even his i'll
Inmates did not, though it was not
concealed from them that he was the
victim OF Il fatal malady. He was a
remarkable man-remarkable for his
intellectual gifts and graces, for his
great heart, for his tender love of his
family and friends, his unswerving
fidelity to them, his infinite jest, his
inimitable humor, his prince-like lib
erality, bis unhagging industry, even
to the end He lived for others and
for Others only cared to live. He
knew so little OF meanness that he
did not recognize it when he saw it in
other men, and he died without know
ing what selfishness is. He was the
likeness of truth, the soul of honor.
Uneducated in the schools, he was an
OmniverOus reader and educated
himself as few men are educated. He
read all literature except the modern
and was full of all knowledge, SO
that he was not only at home in any
company OF cultured people, but "a
valuable acquisition to any. 1t was
his personal qualities however, that
made him SO very lovable and com
panionable, for there was never a
Drawer, gentler, sweeter spirit, and
many man upon whom a food of
sweet memories rushes as he thinks
OF the open grave to-day, of the
fiower-covered casket and the calm
face beneath its lid, can say of the
spirit which has gone back to God
who gave it and in whom it believed,
che was my friend, faithful and just
to me-"
Friend after friend departs;
Who has not lost friend?
There is no union here of hearts
That finds not here an end

Rev. Jesse Fl. Page was q golden
; hearted Christian gentleman. He loved
, God and he loved his fellow man. He
was open as the day-frank, sincere
genuine He hated shams and expos d
many by happy anecdote. He was a
student of books and men. He was a
preacher of rare gifts. Among the ser
mons of most marked ability and wisdom
this writer has ever heard was one
preached by Uncle Jesse as he was
Familiarity called, in Raleigh some years
ago His sermon glistened with gems
They abounded with homespun maxims
and proverbs. Upon occasion, humOr-
pure, sweet and illuminating-ran like a
thread through a discourse. Now and
then he made men smile audibly in his
congregations, but nobody ever thought
him irreyerent His heart was the home
of reverence His humor was as gentle
and as delightful as the ripping OF the
mountain stream. He had charity for
the faults of men. Ii he lacked charity at
any time, it was for a pretender, or
charlatan, a poser. 1t was hard for him
to abide their airs and their mouthings
in silence.
As preacher he was biameless and he
edited his congregations, building them
up by the plain and able expounding of
the Word; as a citizen, he took deep in
terest IL public questions and in what he
regarded as crisis stood forth for civic
righteousness; as a man he was gentle
kind, straightforward, and no word de-
scribes him SO well as to say he was gen
uine, all gold, without alloy; as a father
and husband he was all that a man of
his character and worth could be-. He
had scores OF friends who will hear Of his
death with unfeigned sorrow =
The Charlotte Observer says of
him.,
The death of Rev. Jesse H. Page is the
falling of one of the tallest oaks in the
forest. He was a preacher of much power
and as a man rich in those qualities
which allure other men. Firmly fixed in
his belief, consecrated in his calling never
compromising with wrong and error. he
was yet possessed of an Astounding char
ity which was kindly to his fellows and
looked leniently upon their fOibles.
Rugged OF frame he was equally so OF in
tellect-strong, masterful, enforcing his
reasoning as with Il sledge hammer. yet
eloquent at times and always fluent and
resourceful, He was of the large family
OF the same name which has made its i'm
press upon the material and mental life
of the State and illustrated the highest
virtues of our citizenship. There are
many in North Carolina who will grieve
that they shall see his face no more

The Christian Year---Christmastide.
Communicated.

communicated.
From the earliest age of the Church the
birthday OF our Lord Jesus Christ has
been kept as a festival, and the writers
of the second century and onward de-
clare that the enrolment mentioned in
the Gospel according to St. Luke was to
be found in the carefully preserved
archeves of the Roman government, and
that it contained the record of the birth
of Christ on the 23th day of December
which, from the days OF our Saxon fore
fathers, has been known as Christmas,
that is, the Christ-feast
tits sad that a festival commemorative
this great event, frauyht with such bless
ings for the human race, should SO far
have lost it's religious significance as to
have become for many of our people
merely a day OF idleness or pleasure seek
ing. and for some only one Of riOting
and dissipation. How few consider that
the giving of Christmas presents had its
origin in the good purpose OF reminding
us of the good gift of Gods dear Son for
the very purpose of destroying the sins
which too often desecrate the day SC
named for Him. And how far better it
would be II the sacred anniversary could
be celebrated by Christian people every
where in sharing with the Shepherds OF
Bethlehem the worship of the Child
Divine, and spent in the atmosphere of
Christian cheerfulness and the exercise Of
generous charity to the poor.
Christmas is a day sacred to infancy,
and so in the home circle the little ones
should be made glad in their association
with the Babe of Bethlehem and allowed
a free indulgence in all innocent merri-
ment as the companions of the Child
Jesus.
The earthly life of cur Lord was
scarcely begun before he was called upon
to suffer, and on the eighth day after His
birth he was admitted to the Jewist
covenant in the appointed way and re-
ceived the human name declared so long
before by the angel of the Annunciation.
And so on the octave or eighth day after
Christmas we celebrate the Circumcision
of Christ. and write upon the first day of
the civil New Year the Sacred name of
Him to whom all our time should be
CONGRATULATIONS the Saviour

days until new season begins with the
