NOTES FROM TUSCALOOSA.
j. r. HOWERTON

In reply to inquiries of Presbyteria chairmen and
other friends to how the colored evangelstic
work is progressing, am glad to state that are
closing very successful year. finances we
have made another gain of 20 per cent-a gain of
40 per cent. within two years We are expecting to
hear from hundreds of church treasurers within
the next ten days, for the books close March 31st
With increased income have done better work.
Two superior teachers have been added to the
Stillman Institute teachers residence has been
built, and other improvements under contract.
twenty-five of the students going to be preach
ers and one of them, graduated this year, has
accepted for the African Mission, making five sent
from here.
1t is hoped that your readers have noticed the
denial by DR.. Chester of the sensational absurd
reports sent out from st. Louis, to the
Rev. A l.. Edmiston had married African prin-
cess and relapsed into barbarism Many good peo-
pie have been deceived by this report There is not
strictly advertising purposes.
Eight of our colOred preachers have taught school
beside doing pastoral work during the past winter
with combined enrolment of $40. Rev. w
Williams has most encouraging school Able
vile, S. c.. with enrolment 236 students who
are being thoroughly trained in work and right
we'll as books.
The splendid missionary spirit now spreading in
our church is beginning to count in favor of this
Christian work among the Afro Americans.

A WORD ON EVANGELISM.
Tuscaloosa, Ala.

BY Rev. Newell Dwight Hills, d. D.
For all ministers of Jesus Christ, it is ripe mo-
ment when all the days big with opportunity.
Never were the people satated with things, so
tired of mere food and bodily things. Never were
they so hungry of heart tired of their burdens
so plastic for the bread that feeds and the
fountain that fails not AS minister's we need to
draw men, to hold them, and in holding them, to
build them up in manhood. But nothing draws men
like the evangel of Gods love; nothing holds and
fascinates men like the story of Jesus Christ; and
nothing else Will build up manhood and make it
rich like fixing ones thoughts on the face of Christ
the deeds Christ did, the words he spoke the death
he died
Once more the people gladly hear his story, and
every minister ought to get out of his ruts and
meet the tide of faith with new wisdom, better
plans, richer sermons, harder work Many evan
gelsts preach twice each day, because they repeat
the themes and sermons that they have proved. A
good sermon ought to be like hero's sword, that
has flashed in a hundred battles and proved itself
i'm thousand victories. In Benjamin Franklins
Autobiography he speaks about hearing George
Whtefeld in Philadelphia. He begins by saying
that Whitefeld preached in the open air i'm the af-
ternoon and evening. Franklin tells us that the
and that i'm order to the carrying power Of his
was several hundred feet distant when ne discov-
cred that it difficult to hear He then com
puted the audience that could follow whitefeld's
argument and concluded that the multitude would
be about thirty thousand. But adds Franklin. he
could always tell in few minutes after the preach
er began whether or not 1t was new sermon or an

Prevailing forms of doubt whether in the pro-
lessons chair or in the hollow mockery of the
blatant sensualist, will hide themselves before
the oncoming of such united interest and in
flexible purpose, just as the Shiny creatures of
the swamp crawl to their hiding places before

Much attention is being given to the abjura-
ton OF the Protestant faith by Princess Ena the
granddaughter of Queen Victoria and niece of
King Edward of England. The occasion of
this is that the Princess may become the Queen
of Spain, wife of young Alfonso who is regard
ed as royal wealling in body and soul She
abandons her country and her religion and Sc
cures a royal title and the toggery of a court
Naturally in England there is much serious cri-
ticism, and some kind of interference has been
proposed But the ceremony of abjuration has
already taken place, and it is announced that
as it proceeded "She and her mother wept' She
required to make the following statement
I, Ena having before the holy gospels which
1 touch with my hand, and knowing that one
can be saved without that faith which the Holy
Catholic Apostolic Roman Church holds believes
and teaches against which 1 grfeve that 1 have
held and believed doctrines opposed to her teach
ing, now with sorrow and contrition for my past
errors, profess that 1 believe the Holy Catholic
Apostolic Roman Church to be the only
Church established earth by Jesus Christ to
which submit myself with my whole soul 1 be-
lieve all the articles of faith she proposes my
lief and reject and condemn all that she rejects
and condemns, and L ready to observe all that
she commands me-
1 believe in everything else that has been defined
by the sacred canons and by the general councils,
and particularly by the Council of Trent and de-
livered defined and declared by the Council the
Vatican, especially concerning the primacy the
Roman pontiff and his infallible teaching and au-
thority. With sincere heart therefore, and with
unfeigned faith, detest and adjure every error,
heresy and sect opposed to the said Holy Catholic
and Apostolic Roman Church. So help me God
and these his holy gospels which touch with my
hand.
Such is the price paid for the vanities and
humiliation that she has acquired "No one can
be saved" without the faith which she has en-
braced; not her mother nor any commitment
of the church in which she was reared. She
"detests and abiures" every religious commun-
ion, of whatever name, outside of the Romish
Church. Such is the bargain which she has
made with the approval of her royal uncle,
der the spell of those base delusons about royal
ty that are inherited from the paganism of the
past -

The Articles of Agreement, as published in
our columns last week we're complete, the amend
ment offered by DIR. Cannon, only remaining to
be inserted in article four. We here produce the
article in it's amended and complete form:
"The Council shall exercise only such powers
are coferred upon it by these articles, or such
as may hereafter be conferred upon it by the
constituent churches All acts of the Council
affecting the interests of the constituent church
es shall have only advisory authority, except in
matters covered by articles six and seven 1t shall
not interfere with the creed, worship or govern
ment of the churches and in particular, all mat
ters of discipline shall be left to the exclusive
and final judgment of the ecclesiastical author
ity of the churches concerned" This is the
article about which there is much uncertainty
as to the practical limitation, or the gradual ex-
tension of the authority of the Council.

Raws.-This has been a holiday week
with little business in the early part.
A notable feature was the selling of
1900 tons of Philippine Islands sugar,
which has been held in warehouse here
for some time. The owners evidently
became discouraged by the action of
the Ways and Means Committee, in re-
porting the Philippine bill with a
clause excluding these sugars from
benefit Of any reduction of duty.
Our Washington information is that
should such all amendment finally pass,
1t would no doubt be overruled by the
Supreme Court on the ground that such
action would De special legislation and
contrary to all precedent, when tariff

day that -foot-eight midshipman
came in to join his first sea-going
ship. Having duly reported himself
to the captain-an officer of some six
feet two inches-the latter, literally
looking down upon the boy, said:
"Well, youngster, so you've come to
join, eh?' Yes, if you please, sir"
replied the midship mite. What is
it, same old yarn, sent the fool Of the
family to sea, eh?" mo, sir" inge-

no, things have altered since your
