DABYLON the mighty, the old world
u metropolis. five times as large as
London, Is today a heap Of stone and
brick. Besides souvenirs for the curl
Gus and specimens for the archaeolo-
gists, bricks have for many centuries
been the only plumber which Babylon
has yielded. Bricks Of Babylon's
places have gone TO make many a fire.
place and build homes for the neigh
boring tribes.
Three mounds OF scrapped architec-
ture are all that is left Of the city. One
Of these nondescript piles Of brick is
officially labeled Nebuchadnezzar's
palace. Here the king is said to have
been gaily presiding at brilliant and
successful banquet. when Cyrus. the
Persian, rudely rushed into the city
unlimited and proceeded to act out the
ancients' equivalent Of shooting up
the town" Babylon fell heavily and
the thunder Of her fall echoed around
the 58S B. c. world.
In another mound the wonderful
hanging gardens OF Nebuchadnezzar
are still eXtant-for one with strong
powers Of reconstructing a whole
from fragmentary part The final
exhibit Of historic fame Is the Tower
of Babel. which stands afar off on an
other mound and looks appropriately
antique. That this ragged shell OF
brick is really the Biblical tower Of
confusion is considered doubtful by
the best authorities, but custom and
guides have named II. and the voice Of
the people IS law

LARGE ATTENDANCE OF
MINISTER'S.

Ine North. Carolina Negro Confer
/ ence of the Methodist Episcopal
Church has been in session at Morris
Chapel M. E. (CoIored) Church fol-
! the past week. One of the features
of Friday mornings session was the
address by DR.. J. w. E. Bowen, a
prominent negro minister of this
state. ?
The speaker made an earnest ap-
peal to the conference to exert it's
great influence over the young
negroes of North Carolina. and to
4train-them in such manner that they
might eventually become great fac
tors in accomplishing much good
throughout the land
! desire to see many of~his race attend
theological seminaries and study for
the ministry. for in his opinion there
groes who are capable of preaching
the gospel. The field is a tremendous
one, he said.
The sessions Friday were presided
over by Bishop Frank NJ Bristol, a
prominent white man, who was at
one time pastor of the late William
Mckinley, during the time the latter
served as president of the United
States. Bishop Bristol has made a

cussion by members Of both races.

gates were unanimously elected to
the general conference which is ex-
pected to be called in session at an
pastor of st. Matthews, Greensboro,
and R. E. Jones, editor of the South

by Mrs. Mccormick a we'll known
negress of the church, who is general
secretary of the Woman's Home Mis-
sionary Society. She emphasized the
of training young girls
for usefulness when they are at the
proper stage of life in order that they
might grow up to be useful women
in the church.
Dr. Vanclave, a member of the
commission on finance, spoke of the
success that had come to the church
during the past year. He declared
that all reports indicated that the
church in all it's history had never
been as successful as it had during
the year just passed.
Remarks were also made by the
following: Dr. S. Al Peeler, district
of the Wilmington
district; DIR. H. L. Ashe, pastor OF
St Paul, Winston-Salem; Dr. J. H.

tendent Cumberland River district of

ference and it was reported that there
are now approximately 300 negro
