 We do not know how the history of the world is to be reconciled with the goodness of God, but we can believe He rightly can demand our trust in Him not only for present but for past events.
 The world is concerned with the fact and not the why. Paul gives us the facts: God sent his Son into the world and He sent him in the fitness of time.
 Alexander had conquered the world and with his conquests went also the philosophy, literature and language ot the Greeks. Institutions were erected all through the east. The Greek lan- guage had become the al most universal one. Caesar had followed Alexander with his mighty legions and soon be- came the possessor of the then known world. This Roman Eagle had spread her wings over the entire continent.
 Surely there was fulness in the moral realm. Vice and crime had run mad. Among the priests and Levites atro- cious crimes and fragrant wrongs were committed. Corruption and immor- ality were widespread. Those who had plunged the deepest into sin and debauchery were longing for better day.
 The intellectual world had made preparation for the coming of Christ. The most gifted of nations had done all they could with healthier philos- ophy, but in vain. The highest and purest minds only loathed the present and looked for the future. They dis trusted their own gods. There was a general sickness only wa aiting for the coming of the everlasting physician. Such was the worlds condition when God sent his son into it
 At creation man was made in the image of God. Humanity was raised into the liken ess of heaven. But now the reverse. God made in the image of man. Heaven stoops to earth that humanity might be raised into, Heaven.
 The Shepherd of the Orient would often dress hmself in sheep's clothing that he might mingle more closely with his sheep that the sheep might not fear, him so Christ clothed him. self in humanity that he might mingle with humanity. That he might live and dwell among us that we should no longer fear.
 Christ came not simply as a revela- tion of God but he was God manifest in the flesh. He was not simply a revelation of truth, but truth itself; not revela- ton of love, but love incarnate in hu- man flesh.
 Christ speaks to each in his own lan- guage. To the wise men in the lan- guage of the stars. To the Shepherd on the hillside by the angel chorus. So to-day he comes to us in our own Ian guage. It is the same message, Fear not for behold, bring you good tid ings of great joy, which shall be to all people, For unto you is born this day in the city of David Savior which is Christ, the Lord. Glory to God in the highest and on Earth peace to men of good will"

There is more Catarrh in this section of the country than all the other diseases put to- gether, and until the last few years was sup posed to be incurable. For great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease and prescribed local remedies, and by con- stantly failing to cure with local treatment. pronounced it incurable. Science has proven catarrh to be a constitutional disease and therefore requires constitutional treatment Halls Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J. Cheney X Co. Toledo. Ohio. is the only con- stitutional cure on the market.

What makes the boy popular?
Mapliness. The boy who respects
his mother has leadership in
him. The boy who is careful of
his sister is a knight. The boy
who will never violate his word,
who will pledge his honor to his
own hurt, and change not, will
have the confidence ofhis fellows.
The boy who defends the weak
will one day become q hero am
ong the strong. A boy who will
not hurt the feeling of any one
will one day find himself in the
atmosphere of universal sympa-
thy. Shall we tell you how to be-
come a popular boy? We will. Be
too manly and popular; be the
soul of honor, and love others
better than yourself, and people
will give you their hearts.-Wes-
tern Christian Advocate.

The Asheville Gazette has been
giving considerable argument
and thought for some modifica-
ton in the homestead law. 1t
says that the time and the neces-
sity for such a law have passed
and there is no further need for
it. The Gazette calls upon t h e
press OF the State to join in the
agitation for the law, and if the
press should do so doubtless the
matter will be considered by the
next legislature. While we have
not studied the homestead law
and it's resultant influence, as
The Gazette seems to have done,
we are free to say that there
seems to be good ground Tor the
position it takes, and we do not
see why the matter shouldnot be
looked into.-Durham Sun.

Navigation Of the Air.

There were two tests last week
of air ships that have convinced
all who have been making q
study of the subject, that the
first difficulty in solving the ques
tion OF navigating the air h q y
been solved. This is that t h e
ships or balloons, can be'propell'
ed through the air by mechanic
power and be under as complete
control of the man at the helm
as a ship at sea or a train ofcars
on the railroad track. They can
be made to 90 IN any direction,
regardless of'the wind, can be ta,
ken to any height desired and
brought to the earth at will.
Whether they can ever be made
to carry great loads and become
O. common means of travel, ia a
question yet to be solved. But
enough has been accomplished
to make it certain that airship
will take an important part in
the next war between two na-
tions, no matter where it shall
occur. If they are used for no
other purpose but scouting and
locating the position and strengt
of armies on land and ships at
sea, they will be of valuable ser
wee. For this reason, we see all
the important tests are made un
der the direction of the depart
ment OF war. The performance
of the American ship in Paris
last Saturday under the direc-
tion of Wilbur Wright, one of the
Wright brothers of Ohio, who
worked out their theory an d
made their preliminary trial at
Nag's Head in eastern North Car
olina, was a revelation to t b G
world, and puts America ahead
of Both France and Germany, the
two countries that have been
working longest and talking
most over this newest problem
of the scientists.
The French papers say that
the Wright brothers are far a
head of all other experimenters
and that the problem has prac-
tically been solved.-Newton En-

be present at the state Republi-
can convention. He gives as a
reason that he "needs rest" pre-.
paratory to opening the ca m.
paign elsewhere.
Since Judge Taft II to appearin
Richmond close to the date ofthe
convention here, there were those
who believed he would avail him
self OF the opportunity OF cover
ing two states on one trip and
would come.
: is it surprising, though. when
certain things ore to be consid-
cred, that Judge Taft refuses the
invitation to North Carolina?
1t will be recalled thatlastyear
Mr.. TAFT was the principal speak
er at a celebration atStatesville.
In the course of his speech there
he paid his respects to North Car
DINA Repblican leaders in terms
that needed no foot notes. Open
ly and boldly he declared that
leaders OF the G. O, p. in this
State were unfit for official dis
tinction and it would he q good
thing for North Carolina if the
band OF pie seekers and office
manipulators were ousted and
Democrats elected in their places.
In the light OF these fiery as
saults on the Tar Heel members
OF the G o. p. it is notespecially
surprising that the same Judge
Taft, who is now a presidential
candidate, should not care to
come back to North Carolina
anyhow not until after the elec-
ton.
A littleexplanation might have
been necessary, and thus would
| g. had matter he made worse. and
explanations omitted the silence
might have been interpreted al
significant OF the presence still OF
formerly expressed impressions.
A discourse on "The Rise and
Fall OF the Roman Empire," or
"Our Trade With tkA Orient"
would have been apoor balm for
bleeding wounds. And consider
ing the fact that the "Pie Bri-
gade OF today is the same ''Pie
Brigade" of last year, unrepen-
tent, unreformed, the afore 60
ing subjects would have been the
only subjects which could have
been treated without damaging
the judges prospects in t h is
State.
In fact, when all these things
are considered, we should have
been surprised had the secretary
accepted the invitation, although
because of the crowd he would
draw, we should have been pleas
ed had he taken the risk.-Char-

LEATHER AND THE FOREST.

No other nation produces half as
much tanned, curried. and finished
leather as the United States, which
yields over one-fourth of the worlds
supply Six hundred and seventeen
tanneries contribute 10 this output
The raw material includes 100000
hides and skins, including large num-
Der from Argentina. To tan this Inn
mense quantity of leather, valued at
over $50 000. 900. last year required over
1.250,0G0 cords OF tanbark, worth
nearly slS.00O,O0O. and more than ESQ.,
goo barrels OF tanning extract, worth
IS. 100000.
over two-thirds of the tanbark con-
sumed comes from hemlock and over
one-fourth from oak; chestnut and
other woods contribute the remainder.
More extract is secured from chestnut,
however, than from all other domestic
woods combined A small quantity Of
extract of little over 1000 barrels
comes from the roots of palmetto.
Although the tanning Industry IL
widely distributed over the United
States. the greater part of 1t is carried
on in the states of Pennsylvania, New
York. Michigan and Wisconsin. which
use more than two-thirds of the tan
ming materials consumed. Pennsylvania
alone consumes over 300, 100000 pounds
OF bark and extract worth $4,000. 000 or
