NAMING A PAPER.

For several weeks our good brother
Rev. j. F. McCulloch, editor Of Our
Church Record, Greensboro, organ of
the Methodist Protestant church in
North Carolina, has been wrestling
with the problem of choosing a new
name for the paper. Just why it has
been deemed advisable to rechristen
this excellent chronicler of events
connected with the interests it repre-
sents after more than fifteen years
of creditable and successful publica-
tion, we do not know, oris that any
of our affair; but somehow we cannot
help feeling an interest in the matter,
claiming as we do among our friend
ships here and elsewhere so many of
the strong and loyal members of the
Methodist Protestant church. And
this is our excuse for "butting in" on
the matter of choosing a new name
for "the Methodist Protestant
paper" Why change the name at
all, Brother McCulloch, only tomake
it "The Church Record" instead of
"Our Church Record?" But if new
name is thought best let it be short
and significant-conveying the char
acter and thing for which it stands.
Several names have been suggested,
as published in the Record last week,
and looking over the list we are
rather inclined to agree with some of
those who have suggested titles.
"North Carolina Methodist Protes-
tant" Is good, and we rather like it.,
but there is most too much of it
fills the mouth too full.
The same objection might be
laid against ''Methodist Protestant
Church Record" which we would
modify into Methodist Protestant
Recorder, as one writer has suggest
ed. That strikes US as being about
the most appropriate name that has
been mentioned-if the title is to be
changed at all. But as we said at
the outset why change the name any
more than have it read "The Church
Record" instead of "Our Church Rec
ord?"

drunkenness aU pu Dllc gatherings III
North Carolina is almost thing OF
the past. Last month the editor OF
this paper spoke at a big gathering
in Iredell which was attended by T.
900 people and not person OF that
vast crowd was under the influence
of liquor. Last week 10000 people
attended the Confederate reunion In
Catawba county, where DR.. b. +.
Dixon spoke, and there was not
drunken person there. Ten years
ago this would have been regarded
as almost a miracle. Sobriety and
temperance are making mighty
strides in North Carolina!-News and
Observer.
"Sobriety and temperance are ma
king mighty strides in North Caro-
ina!" Very true, but this is no new
thing The tendency for years has
been toward more enlightened and
a better ordered citizenship. 1t has
constantly been subject of pleasing
remark that where there was any
large crowd gathered the people were
good humOred, sober minded and
we'll behaved-long before there was
any thought of legislating sObriety
or morals into them The truth Of
the matter is that the people are
more intelligent, self-respecting and
sober as a condition growing out OF
themselves we prefer to believe rather
than to any compulsory measures to
make them so. ii this we're not SO
there would still be drunkenness and
disorder at every such gathering as
there used to be, for liquor can still
be had-and plenty of it. But it is
not the proper thing to do. Liquor
| drinking is discountenanced more
than it ever was, and the man who
drinks to excess is not as numerous
or conspicuous.
Let's give the folks some credit for
the innate goodness that is in them.
R. A. p. Cooley of Nash, publishes a
! card in which he announces himself an
independent candidate for Congress
from this (Fourth) district This
will perhaps cause no surprise. The
gentleman seems to be q sort of
perennial candidate, and if no party
will run him he will run himself. He
had an ambition to be solicitor for
this district and has several times
been a candidate. Time before the
last he was perhaps more talked
about in that connection than he
bad ever been before but failed of the
nomination. The last time he was
even more prominently in the lime
light it seemed, but when the time
for making a nomination came Mr..
Cooley's name was not put before
the convention. He was beaten
again and apparently he took his
medicine like man as he had done
before. He was not satisfied, how
ever, and takes this method of Show
ing his disgruntlement. Mr.. Cooley

The Democratic party cannot be
held responsible for the near-heer in
dustry yet it is q fact that it is a
matter that is being winked at in
many tOwns.-Durham Sun.
The Democratic party is responsible
for the condition that brought about
near-beer. But you can't make some
people believe the substitute is worse
more injurious to health-than the
real article. Those who know any
thing about the matter have a diff
ierent opinion, though.

live if it would bury fifty thousand
dogs before Saturday night.-Thom-
asville Charity and Children.
A truth titly spoken but no such
action as getting rid of the worthless
dogs and lessening the menace of hy-
drophobia is likely to be taken. The
law makers are afraid to tackle the
dog question.

Of Agriculture, the total number OF

inspired Socrates in his noble work
among the Athenian youths, and gave
courage to Cicero in the Roman
forum. And what was regarded by
them as only a possibility vas later
made manifest by the appearance of

abolished death, and hath brought life

Of prolonged existence upon an i'm
m%easurably elevated plane.
The wonderful truth Of immortal
ity, impressed at Easter, gives the
highest possible motive for faithful
Christian life and service. Impelled
by the fact of immortality, wise men
live as they ought to live, for life
goes on forever and the future is the
harvest of the present. They realize
that the eternal years of God belong
to truth, justice and Righteousness.
The light of immortality shines on
and unravels all the apparently hope
less entanglements of earth and time.
1t is worth while to live, to fight, to
labor, to wait. and endure, for the
end is sure. Men al struggle, toll
and sacrifice in hope and patience, for
they realize that life goes on forever,
in new ~fulness, with new earnestness
and power.
1t is we'll that once a year the SYM
bolism of Easter brings home anew
the lesson that men, if they will, may
o'erleap the barriers that their own
errors and weakness have created,
and emerge into a fuller and higher
life, crowned with the assurance Of
Immortality.

Temper ia Young Babies.

In some children of eight months
or more there appears occasionally a
display of violent temper which is
hard to control. In such a paroXysm
Of rage a child will destroy anything
within his reach, screaming, in the
meantime, at the top Of his lungs.
The only thing for the mother to- do
is to keep him as still and as quiet
as possible. If he persists in yelling,
pick him up and carry him to a quiet
place whittier there is nothing he car
injure-and leave him there. To be
in solitude is the very best medicine
for him at such a time. Striking him
or Furnishing him in some manner is
rarely successful in quieting him. If
Il child is quieted in such a manner. it
is almost as bad as to leave him in a
state of anger, for the emotion of fear
has only been substituted for the emo
ton of anger-and there is little
gained for the child. If mothers
were only more honest with them
selves in this respect. it would be
better for them as we'll as for their
children.

hasty temper with the thought that
