Question 4 was called: Who are admitted into full connection?” Robert W. Bailey, solon A. Cotton, Samuel Leffers, Rufus Bradley and Raleigh A. Bruton having passed the examination of character, and having been approyed by the examining committee, were examined by the bishop in open con ference and admitted ixto tull connec-. tion. Brshop Wilson then delivered his charge to the class. Rev. W. h. Smith, D. D., president avev, ® eo KX ml 9 ° *9 p of the system of Randolph-Macon col- leges and academies in Virginia, and representing the general board of edu- cation, was introduced to the con‘er- ence, and delivered a magnificent ad- dress. M. ©. Thomas, one of the oldest preachers in the conference, who is an alumnus of Randolph-Macon College, made a few remarks expressing the pleasure of the conference in having Dr Smith present and in listening to his eloquent address. STATE AID TO HIGHER EDUCATION, Dr. J.C. Kilgo, president of Trinity College presented the following pream- able and resolutions : Among the many vital questions ap- pealing to the church for solution, none is of greater importance than education. The principles of our religion inspire the largest intellectual aspirations as well as the greatest spiritual develop- ment. ‘The church has, therefore, al- ways defended education and through the centuries, been the source of our educational progress, Should thie church.cease to be interested in educa- tion, ignorance would multiply, and all real educationa! progress would be at au end, But besides the history of the church in education, it.is bound by the highest interests of our individual and_ social life to maintain an aggressive education- al policy. Infidelity has hid itself in science and enthroned iteelf in colleges jand universities, wud by a distorted and incomplete idea of education, has wrought great barw. Along with all jeducation must go a: purpose to build up a faith in God, the only sccure foun- dati¢a for national or individual lite. U.uerwise, the worst results are to be expected from education, in our Own State, as well as in ovher States, there is a cenflict between the State and church in educational work, and especially in the work of higher education. In many ways this want of sympathy i is manifested, and the church is forced to carry forward its educutional work in the face of this oppusition. Muny of out people do not unde: stand the position ot the church ip education, und there are many sincere people out) side of the charch' who do not under. s.and it. The time has come for this conference to define ita position in edu- cation, and settle an educational policy that itywill;detend and develop. ‘There- fore, be it” Resolved, lst. That we commit our~ “| selves ‘uncom promisingly to, Uhristian cation, and jnsist that.our. people in t» homes: teach their children the ‘aontties of Christ, and patronize those }.. , Comin ‘sehouls Whose influences will} ee be | baste and that they patronize thowe @ give positive instruc ‘tion in the “aL Mh of the Bible. - tion of the resolutions, speaking, at i iength in favor of State aid to higher \ , : mG education. ) \ / 7 ‘ha “ Dr. Kilgo arose to apeak in reply to = a ——_—s a = vi 5 Mr. John and was applauded all over IAAI WAIN 40-4) theroom.

Thatwe regard the free public schools a necessity to: the State and we declare ourselves fully in sympathy with them. These schools are for the people, and should be made efficient. We favor a sufficient tax to operate them at least six or eight months in the year, and we pledge ourselves to do all in our power to develop a public sentiment that will secure this result. 3rd. That while we do not think it the function of the State to teach re- ligion in ‘its colleges, and while w recognize the fact that there are many citizens who do not wish to patronize shurch colleges; and while we haye no disposition to exterminate or do injury to State colleges, yet, as citizens of North Carolina, as well as members cf the Methodist Episcopal Church,South, we do not believe that it is just to the church to tax its members to earry on an ‘educational work to the injury of the churcb colleges, or to put the State colleges in unfair . competition with the church colleges. We believe that it is out of: harmony with the principles of our government, ard mor- ally wrong tor the State to undertake to furnish free higher education to the few at the expense of the many, and therefore that all free tuitions in the State University, in so far as they are based upon the appropriation of public monies, should be discontinued. That we request the legislature to discortinue the appropriation of public money for free scholarships and tuitions at the Uaiversity. 4th. Knowing that the income , from tuitions is not sufficient to meet the cur- rent expenses of a college or university, we are not opposed to appropriation to the University, but we thiok these ap propriaiions shvuld te limited to such umoupts as are necessary to meet the deficiency in current expenses after tul- tions have been collected from all stu- dents, except those to whom private scholarships have been given. Sth. That as the aim of the State in the establishment ot the Normal and Industrial College at Greensboro, N. C., and the Agricultural and Mechani- cal College at Raleigh, N. C., was to provide technical aud not highel liter- BI rh Bell oA. ary education, that we declare ourselves eg eae ea Have you.

He said: “Do your duty and leave: success to take care of itself and then you will see the wisdom of the old prov- stance, how hard it is to learn a dif- ficult subject. All the ideas are un- familiar, all the words are unfamil- iar. We go on laboring and seem to make noway. Now this disheartens nine students out of ten—the niné out of ten that will always be ob- scure people—but the tenth man goes on. He works harder and hard- er, he lets his mind play around the subject, he lets the ideas of that sub- ject soak into his brain, he is deter- mined that nothing caf possibly re- sist. persistent effort, and one fine day a great flood of light comes in —he suddenly sees aH about it. His work is easy, his work is delightful. Everybody says of him, ‘What an amazing amount of ability that young man has.’ No, it was not ability, it was patient perseverance. The man had learned to labor and THE next ware SODURGE, “| In order ta see honttece\indle we pied: we have. in tuberculosis let} . ._. us contrast it with some other dis. | Sv): eases Which are even more dreaded. Leprosy is rare in most civilized countries; even in Asia Minor it causes lesa than 1 per cent of the total death rate. Typhoid and scar let: fevers are each held responsible for 3 per cent; diphtheria and pneu- monia for 5 per cent each. The deaths from consumption alone, omitting such tuberoular troubles as bip joint disease, Pott's disease of the spine, some forms of meningi. tis, intestinal marasmus, caries of bone and many abscesses, make up, onl dat about 20) per’ vent of the total death rate of this country. It is estimated that one-third of all deaths occurring in| the medical wards of hospitals are due to tuberculosis, and that a fifth of all surgical cases treated—many of which are cured—are tubercular. We may bring these statistics home by saying that you and I were born with one chance in five of dy- ing of some form of tuberculosis. It our chance of being instantaneously and decently killed by an electric shock were 1 in 500, we would turn the wheels of progress: back 20 years rather, than allow an electrio light »r a trolley car to threaten our safe. fy. No pains and no expense are thonght too great in maintaining a quarantine against cholera, small. pox—which the sensible part of the community is already vaccinated sgainst—diphtheria and the like. Large appropriations are madé that there. may be tried a yet un- oved defense against diphtheria, a to the insidious enemy that erb, ‘Every? thing comes to the maD| wumbers its dead by hundreds that can wait.’ You know, for In-| where these other open foes count theirs by scores we are blind. Itis time that the veil should ‘pe drawn | q from the loathsomeness of ‘‘the great white scourge,’’ that the false sentiment which poetry and prose have thrown over infection, blood poisoning, suppuration and decay should be dissipated.—‘‘Consump- tion Considered asa Contagious Dis- saso,’’ by A.

Among the Greeks bracelets were worn only by women, but among the Romans they were regarded as a military decoration, and in monu- mental inscriptions the number of bracelets conferred on the subject is often stated. They were of thin plates of bronze or gold. Sometimes gold wires spirally wound were used. Some bracelets weighing 20 ounces have been found. to Wait.
