1| their face, and yet they were gravely
ganization, on work cf the principa
missionary societies, and wish to call
your attention to another important de-
partment of mission work"that of
womanTs work for women. Woman's
piace in the gospel was secondary only
in that she was not made an apostle
was not, called to preach. In all other
relations she held a first place and the
service she rendered was graciously ac:
cepted by-her Lord. Her burst of ser-
vice extended:from Anna, -the prophet. |.
ess, who spake of Christ to all that,
lobkedéfor fedémptionT in Jettisalem to
that elect lidy-who trained her children
to walk in the truth. Women minis-
tered to Him of their substance. The
Samaritan woman gave Him her testi-
mony, the Syrophenician mother, her,
faith; the woman that was forgiven
mul¢h, her love and her tears, oWoman
wad'traeatto Itim, most unselfish and
most constant in her faith and service.
When the disciples, save John, had fled
and left him in his shame and agony,
the women were there. ~They saw him
gory with his own blood, reviled, ins}
sulted, rejected and loved aud | ~trusted | : * or p
him. She was last at the cross, and |
first at the tomb, and first to finda
risen Savior, and first to carry to the
church and the world. the news of hig

resembledyin. many régpects,, what we
find ~to-day in ~southern lands. T This
office was merged into the men, when
human inventions took the' place of di-
vine order and finally disappexred froma
church history.
The work of the Moravian church,
the only church that.gives~more minis-
ters to the Foreign than to the Heme
field, has observed this primitive order.
~Their womem bear their part. very
much as Priscilla, Phoebe and Eersis

sions. ~This order came back in some
form, with all the churches in this cen-
tary of missions, all the churehes have
their womanTs missionary societies, and

of the. newspapers orave--to-day.is not
so much news as truth. They are
weary of reading columns of telegraphic
reports and then finding the next morn-
ing that their time has been wasted on
a tissue of ay fla? RG or on
~actual fiction. A proportion of the
so-called news matters in many of the
newspapers is mainly fabrication.T It
is manufacteredTon a basis of fact so
slender that a searching examination
often fails to revealit. Very often it is
made outof whole ant ii j this. mat-
ter, as in the expnessi "editorial
_ | opinion, there is a quan Jack of
sense of responsibility among . many
American editors. Not longago, when
there- was a real tension of feeling be-
tween this country and Great Britain,
the report was started that the flying
squadron was to visit American Wa-
ters, and thiein thrn, was followed. by
the report that Great Britian was no-
ptating for the purchase of Cuba.
th reports were preposterous on
spread out, without head-lnes. As a
matter of fact, they were , unqualified
lies. They were deliberutely manufac
tured for thepurpose of fillmg news-
paper coldmns with something sensa-
tional, ... These reports were no sooner
printed than they were denied, and: this
sort of thing has now gone.on. 80; long
that newspaper readers. are becoming
skeptical of everything they read. The
most intelligent ¢ of them no longer be-
lieve anything in the way of a news
statement.until it, hag.been. confirmed. |
They have;been misled too often. Gn.
the long run this-kind of humbugis as
bad fiom a business point of view as
every other kind of humbug. It reacts
in the hardened incredulity of the read-
er, and defeats itself by destroying the
veuy...possibility of . excitement, which
tlie newspaper editor wishes to produce.
~The matter is nct worthy of discussion
from the ethical side, for the element of
| dishonesty init is too evident to need
anything more than plain characteriza-
tion. What does need enforcems ty in
were truth, is the fact that it, it vey ted
policy. Nothing pays a newspaper bet-
ter than to establish a tradition for
trathfulness ; nothing harms it more in
the long run than to create the impress-
ion of untrustworthiness. There are
great opp rrtunities in this direction at
the present moment."The Outlook.

Cured of his Folly.
Mr. Jno. F. McLean, who has tes
turned from a.ten days visit to his
father at. Mooresville, tells us of 4
recent. conversion. When Mr. Mel
Lean lived in Mooresville severa-
years ago one of his friends was a
hard working, enthusiastic Demo-
crat. Shortly after Mr. -MeLean
moved to Salisbury his friend wandered
off into the Populist fold and moved to
lism. .A few days ago this gentleman
went to Concord and while there saw a
negro magiscrate trying a white man,
He stopped and looked at the
proceedings. for a few minutes and
turned away with the exclamation,
oMy God! Have I helped to bring this
o1 our people ?�
From the trial he went to the Popu-
list newspaper office and asked if he
was in. arrears for the paper. Ascer-
taining the amount he paid up, order-
ed the paper stopped and forthwith
went toa Democratic office and sub-
scribed for a Democratic paper. He is
again a Democrat and ois working for
the party withT his old time enthusi-}

cure any white man of the Populistic
craze,"_Salisbury Herald.

the farmer to wuom it belonged why he

Uncle Moses requested that he be per-
~mitted oto cut de trees offen dat ar liTl
branch, what runs from my bac yard,
please, sah.�
Permission granted, Uncle Moses
didnTt look as if he could fell a sapling.
He was so afflicted that he couldnTt
plow. It was Aunt Dilsy that plowed.
But he displayed an ability to cut down
trees that wastruly astonishing. Soon
he had a long, narrow strip of rich, low
ground, and Aunt Dilsy plowed it with
the cow.
She plowed with the cow be
canse she was of a timid naturc be-}
sides being afflicted. She would have
been afraid of any other beast, even if
she had had one, which she hadnTt. And
nowT,
hebold the corn!
Such a pile of
corn had been raised on odat ar li'l
branch Lottom,� that its fame had
spread cbroad over the plantation,
Very proud and boastful was Uncle
Moses,

full force.
Conspicuous among them were the
Conitehee girls, in red skirts and new
shirt waists, the belles of the evening.
tunning them
pretty close, though,
were the ~Turner yirls, who wore only
gingham dresses, but had side combs
in their bangs and their back hair ar-
ranged in Psyches.
The, boys were
numerous and jolly, several fron. oover
the erick�
being present. Jimmie
Goode, the crack banjo player, was also,
there.

oAll right,
Jimmie, readily.
oJesso I donTt haf ter

nating strains of oGeorgie Buck� filled
the air.
The shucking went-on briskly with
increasing hilarity.

Uncle Moses.

~Umele Moses busy and gave him litthe
time for telling any of his stories of

When the huge pile of corn was get-

The compliments she received fram}
the appreciative consumers were fairly
overwhelming.
The crowning featarre
was the cutting of the olive bird cake.�
It was a veritable eake, brown and de-
liciows, in the center of which was.a
bird, alive and fluttering.
A vote was
taken ~to decide which of the young Ya-
dies Should have the honor of cutting
the cake and liberating the bird.
Excitement ran high, and through
the enercetic efforts of Siah Tawkins,
Miss Pattie Belle Conitchee came very
near being elected to that Lonor.
But
Miss (inky Turner received the most
votes m the end, greatly to the elation
of the Turner faction. Miss Ginky Tae
ner was led up tothe cake table by Jim-
mie Goode, his banjo swung jauntily
over his shoulder, and she sliced the
eake with much grace and dexterity.
The live bird hopped out, and after fly-
ing about the room in bewilderment,
perched itself upon a rafter, among
sage and
red peppers, from which}
height 1 seemed to view the proceed-'
ings with a quizzical cye.
