The PeEipaGellcs


The Peripatetics held their reg
nlar meeting with Mrs Jno. EI.
dred last Tuesday afternoon. 1T
was essentially d woman's meeting,
the musical branch Of the club
considering the modern French
composer, Chaminade, and
the literary branch presenting the
Southern author, Alice Heagen
Rice. Miss Martins paper on
Optimism in Literature was
especially delightful, d tonic for
the pessimist, if the Peripatetics
number any among its bright and
energetic members.
Miss Kohlman's sketch Of Alice
Heagen Rice gavea clearer knowl-
edge of the lovely woman whose
spirit of charity introduced her to
Mrs. Wiggso and the Cabbage
Patch" and laid the foundation of
her literary success.
Mrs. j. II. Johnsoa's Life of
Chaminade, . read by Mrs.
Noodle, gave another proof that
genius is oftentimes combined
with some of the huablest and
sweetest traits Of the human char
acter since, besides her ability to
make wonderful music, many fine
traits of Chaminade's character
were cited. Mrs. Parsons rendi-
tion OF Rosamondn and Made
line" was sympathetic and lovely,
and in Chaminade's Summer
Mrs. GreenWood's voice showed &c
fine effect.
The entire club seems imbued
with spirit of work, and re-
Nuisance Of practice and re.
search is very noticeable. Also
around the Drumming punch bow
at the close of the program the
bright talk and evidence Of congo
NAL companionship among Che
members gives ample proof Of che
optimistic influence of the clut
and its cooperative work.
The winters more serious
course of study is about planned
now and the yearbook will soor
be issued. One or two public

Teachers Having a Strenuous Tine.

The public school teachers are
having a strenuous time with their
fall examination. Only Is out OF
35 white teachers passed success
fully at the first examination, and
the applicants at the second Jared
little better. Out Of 80 negro
teachers who tried the first exam
nation, only two passed, one of
them receiving a second grade and
the other a third grade certificate.
Not single old colored teacher
stood the test.
About 20 white teachers and 30
or 35 negro teachers were busy in
the court room all day yesterday
with the appointed examination
and will be at work again today.
No doubt many Of them will
have to face q second failure, as
the examiners are strict and will
put up with nothing but thorough
work.

will be held at the court house

Resolutions Adopted BY Union Zap

UnionChurch, Sent. l8. 1905

UnionC Church, Sept. 16, 1905.
Whereas, On the 10th day Of
September, 1905 Sunday, tile
doors Of our church were opened
and woman who was known tOl
us denOminationally as a Metho-
dist holding the doctrine Of "Ho-
illness and entire specification
from the power Of sin in this
life,n was invited and admitted
into our church to hold services
as preacher Of the Gospel after
the manner of her sect; and,
Whereas, Said invitation and
admittance were without the
knowledge, sanction or endorse
ment 0f our worthy pastor, Rev.
r. j. Boone, who is profoundly
an orthodox missionary Baptist
minister of The gospel, in full, &C
cord with the faith and practice of
our denomination; and,
Whereas, We believe that such
invitation and admitance to one
disseminating doctrine and intro
ducing methods not in keeping
with our faith, goes without the
approval Of our missionary Bap-
fist brotherhood and presents an
apparent disregard for our pastor
and the rules of ourdenomination
therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the MEM
bers of Union church in regular
conference assembled, do now de-
clare and announce to the brother
hood Of the Missionary Baptist
denomination, and especially to
lour pastor, that such unprecedent-
| ed act was not ordered or author
LIKED by the church or the deliber-
ate counesl or consent of Its mem
i bers as whole, nor a wilful and
intentional disregard for the rules
Iof our denomination or the worth
4 mess of our pastor, and in no
! wise attributable to his unfaith-
| fulness or inability to teach, but a
mere incident which came to pass
! by reason Of the pressure of CIR
| cumstances at the time.
Resolved further, That we do
now offer this as an explanation
and apology to our pastor and
sistcr churches, and declare that
we do not endorse the modern
idea of female bishops, elders or
preachers. and will not hereafter
invite such as are not of our faith
to hold services in our church ex-
cept on funeral occasions or other
occasions which would commend
itself to us as entirely reasonable
and right.
Respectfully submitted,

LIFE AS IT REALLY IS.

The man of grand impulses sheds a lustre on all around him.
 When a woman says she .s of little consequence she does not expect she will be taken at her word. -
 A man usually estimates his value according to a scale of his own mak- ing.
 Men speak of women's vanity as something which is part of every woman's makeup.
 The kiss of love fingers long in the memory of a woman.
 When a man undertakes to prove his importance he Is inclined to overstep the mark.
 Every woman feels she knows just how far to go in the matter of assist ing nature with her face and figure.
 Many commanding men are easily controlled by those who seem to be other than commanding.
 The woman who thinks she can manage her husbands affairs never makes known how she would do It. Pittsburg Dispatch
