Elsom, of Danville, Va., came to Greenville to conduct a series ot meet~ ings iu the Baptist church. For ten days he held two services each day in the church, at 4 and 8 P, M., and cote tage prayer meetings were held each morning in some home. . The very first day of the meeting Rev, A. W. Setzer, pastor of the church, was taken sick and was only able to get out at the last day’s services. Rev. N. M. Watson, pastor of the Methodost church, went to the aid of Mr. Elsom and stood faith{ fully by him through the entire meet- ing. We do ‘not belicve a meeting was ever held here that resulted in more igood than this meeting. Mr. Elsom i3a man filled with the Holy Spint and he preaches with power. He is a man who fears not to cozrdemn sin in all its forms. He spoke plainly and fearlessly. As might have been ex- pected there ure some who took excep. tion at his bold denunciation of sin, but with the masses his utterances were approved. A preacher who offends no He is your best friend who tells you of your sins and begs you to turn from them. one accomplishes no good, did not please all to whom he spoke, and such opposition arose that He was crucified, yet the great truths He ut- ‘tered will live on forever. A man las to be told of his sin to see the error ot his way. Mr. Elsom’s plain preaching here did great good, and we believe its in- fluence will goon for years to come. Great crowds of people heard him every night. Many have been lod to forsake their sins, and impressions have been made on others which cannot be blotted out. The meeting closed Thursday night, and the last day was the beet. It was an impressive scene to see the throng ot converts standing arouad the pulpit to listen toa brief admonitation from Mr. Elsom. The visible results of the meeting are {that more than fitty people have been converted,many backsliders havebcen re- claimed,the different churches have been drawn, closer together in Christian love ‘tand unity, the faith and zeal of every Christian has keen strengthened, and a lasting impression for good has been made upen the community. Mr. Elsom lett with the prayers of the peoole for God’s blessing to con- tinue with him, end they would rejorce for him to return here at some future day. ; 3 fHoriieth Auuiversary.

The general sentiment after yesterday's game was that Hurst’s favors gave the Orioles the victory and a repetition to - day capped the climax in the minds of the crowd and about 500 waited around the club house for the umpire after the game. Hurst became incensed and struck one of the crowd and was im- mediately jumped on by the mob. Ten policemen were called to escort him to his hotel. There was no special fea- ture to the game except Hoff2r’s col- lapse in the eighth, when he hit a bats- man, senttwo to base on bal's and gave three hits, letting in five runs Score.

Without “passing upon the wisdom of al- lowing colored people to control ‘their own schools, it should be remarked that the law granting them this privilege, which the writer referred to says isa “price- loss heritage,” was passed by a Democratic Legislature and was kept in force daring the Demo- clatic administration of the Siate government. [t remained for a Republican and Populst Legisla- ture and State administratian, for which these colored people voted almost to a man, to take away from them this “priceless heri:- aze.—Statesville Landmark. The news coiumas of this paper tell of a minister of the gospel who was robbed while on a drunken spree in Charlotte, and of another who has just been acqultted in the courts of a seri- ous crime. There are those who will lose much confidence and respect fer the entire ministry on account of these two incidents. without ever stopping to think of the thousonde of consecrated fol- lowers of the Master who are living lives of self denial and martyrdom in order taat they may carry His gospel to dying men. It is frequently said, and all of us are more or less guilty of harbor- iag the suspicion: that al! minis- ters are prone to accept calls to charges where the salary is large and the work is genial. At the Presbyterian church Sunday morning the preacher told of a young minister who had declined a call of $1,200 and accepted one of $600 to work in a destitute region in western North Carolina ; and not only that, but he offered to provide an assistant in tho work and pay him out of his meager salary of $690.
