A WELCOME TOOUR GUESTS

We welcome to our town the
Rockbridge Sunday School Asso-
citation which assembled in Lex
ington today in annual conven-
ton. This organization represents
a great religious force and stands
for that which is best and purest
in human life. Its work has to do
with arousing greater interest in
the religious training of the young,

more mature, and better under
standing of the Book of God, the
one weapon of aggressive warfare.
The influence of the choice men
and women who serve in the Sun
day schools has extended into all
lands, frightened and uplifted
all lives and energized millions for
Christian service.
In the olden time it is said that
over the gate of an Oriental city
there was affixed large hand
wrought of bronze and upon it
were engraved the words: "We
salute you in the name of the
king" Today the Sunday school
workers of Rockbridge are gath
cred in a town where not one hand,
but many are ready to extend a
warm Christian greeting in the
name of the King in whose SER
vice all have common aims and
common interests.
The Rockbridge Sunday School
Association is the one platform in
our local church life where all
evangelical Christians rcan, NEST
without rega:d to UNCONVENTIONAL
affiliations, and where each is
equally interested in the success of
all.
We bespsak for the convention

VIRGINIA AT ST. LOUIS

1t is said that Virginia stands
in the front rank of States at the
great st. Louis Exposition, not
outstanding the comparatively
small appropriation made for this
purpose. The Virginia building
is an exact representation of Mon.
ticello, the stately home near
Charlottesville OfThomasJeffer
1t stands upon a wooded hill to the
south west of st Louis, and from
its terraces a magnificent view of
the white city is obtained.
Virginia's commissioners, recog-
nizing the splendid opportunities
for advertising purposes, have
gathered in four exhibits the
States resources, representing her
wealth in agriculture, horticul-
ture, mines and metallurgy, and
fish, forestry and game.
In the agricultural exhibit are
displayed fine collection OF pea
nuts, corn, tobacco, oats, wheat,
cottonseed, etc. A large seal of
Virginia, six feet or more in diam
eter, is worked out entirely in
grain. The browning feature of
the tobacco exhibit is the statue
of an Indian maiden twenty feet
high, clothed in tobacco.
The horticultural exhibit con-
sists of large pyramid of apples
surmounted by u cornucopia from |
which by mechanical means an
illusion is presented that appears
as ii apples are constantly pour
ing out. The mines and metal
lurgy exhibits also attract wide
attention. A leading newspaper
OF st. Louis recently includes vir-
ginia among list of about six
selected States which were at the
time exciting considerable atten-
ton ut the Exposition on account
Of their complete and unique ex- s
hibits. I;

ROCkbridXe's Muster Rolls

eff all the camps in the country
will exercise the same care an(
vigilance in the preservation o.
Confederate records that has beer
taken by the county of Rock
bridge" said Major Robert w
Hunter, of Winchester, quotes the
Richmond News-Leader, "there is
little doubt that we soon snail have
the muster rolls complete.
"Here is letter from Lee-Jack-
son Camp, Lexington. which shows
that names of members of COM
panies, commanders of battalions,
regiments and brigades are proper
ly recorded in the records of Rock
bridge. The work has been done
with care and regard to detail.
"Not only are the names of the
members of all the companies
preserved, but the names of all
soldiers from that county are
given-thus, if a Rockbridge man
joined any other company, his
name and company were put down.
III other men came TO the county
flom other States or counties they
also were put down, along with
their commands
Major Hunter is getting things
into first-class shape and much
matter relating to the Civil War is
being received. He wants to get
all the records possible, and asks
papers throughout the State to
request persons who have records
'f companies or regiments to for
ward them to him for compilation.

CHINA AWAKENING.

Wonder Il expressed that Japan does
not hurry ip her attack upon Russia
1t is supposed that the war Is newt
able; that, even II II Is STAYED of al
this time, II must come, and that Rus
sla is preparing herself continually and
viii be IN a better position TO defeat
her antagonist few months, or years
hence than she Is now. Japan II Is
argued risks everything by the delay.
But there Is one factor which must
not he lost sight Of, and that Is that
China Is slowly awakening TO the sltu-
alton, and II Is not impossible that IL
Japan can postpone the struggle long
enough, she will be able to marshal
Chlna's countless millions against Rus
sla.
This Is by no means an idle fancy.
A French general who has studied the
subject has Just published his obser-
vations, China is awakening. Prince
Ching who has charge Of Us foreign
affairs, is an intelligent though timld
man, Yuan shlh-kl, governor Of Chill
province and power IN Pekin, Is n
soldier OF ability and his asCendency in
palace councils indicates that tinge Of
iron has come into the pale foreign poll
icy OF the nowery kingdom. They know
the perllous position OF the empire, and
they realize that China must fight for
her integrity, or be broken up. All the
viceroys are interesting themselves In
the military new birth Of their country,
and to supply force OF officers the
traditions OF centuries have been
thrown 10 the winds and the sons OF
the noblest families are being trained
for war Moreover, II has been decreed
that volunteers shall be able to read
and write, and no criminals or opium
smokers viii be recruited startling
innovation, since formerly the army
was taken from the dregs OF the popu-
lation.
Japanese officers, we are told. have
been training the Chinese soldiers of
late and have made considerable pro-
gress IN setting them up and teaching
them the game, With Japanese com.
manders and acting In conjunction with
the splendid troops OF Japan they ought
to give an excellent account Of them
selves II sent to war
Everything considered, delay may be
as welcome to Japan as to Russia, for
1t may mean the preparation OF China
for a struggle by the side Of Japan,
against the advancing hosts of the
Gear, and II the Mongoians once enter
the warpath against the West, who can
tell where their onward march Will end ?
It Is up to Russia now to say wheth-
er there Is to be war or peace, Japan
cannot recede from its position. The
question is whether Russia is to draw
back, or establish her supremacy in
Asia. II is a question that only war
can settle.
