T '0== * NOTES AND COMMENTS. n Our Association and the whole State has sustained a great loss in the death of Prof. J. B. Carlyle, which occurred at Wake Forest on July 10. V/e are sure our readers will profit by Dr. Gorrell’s appreciative account of this worthy servant of God. President William Louis Poteat will be with us in Dunn on the night of Sunday, July 23. Let all our folks turn out to hear him. Note what Dr. Gorrell says as to Prof. Carlyle’s estimate of his work with his Sunday School class. When we come to die the work that we have done most directly and purely for Christ’s sake is the work that we value most. “Wherefore my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”—1 Cor. 15:58. The sisters are preparing for a great meeting at Wake Forest the last of August. Let every church in the Association see to it that at least two or three of its representative women are here to get the inspiration and information that are to be had in this meeting. Our churches need it, and the sisters are sure to stir up in terest if we can once get them really aroused. Read Mrs. Lanneau’s letter in this issue of the Messenger. ■ Read the programme for the Sun day School convention and ask your self if you can afford to miss it. Let every Sunday School send as many of its officers and teachers as possible. “The way of transgressors is hard,” says the^ wise^ man who deep ,npt see thTs great truth illustrated every day. Why then persist in the way of trans gression against God? Now is the revival season among our country churches. Let us pray God to make it a season of real re vival in the churches and of winning souls to the Master. We see from the papers that Bro. Tom Kemp and Miss Wiade, of Wake field, are married. Congratulations and best wishes to them. TO THE WOMAN’S MISSIONARY SOCIETIES OF THE CENTRAL ASSOCIATION. Dear Sisters: Mrs. Moore writes me that our Woman’s Meeting of the Central Association will be held here, in Wake Forest, beginning with an afternoon session Wednesday, August 30th. Wednesday night there will be a public meeting to which all are in vited. On Thursday there will be two more meetings. Appoint your delegates at once, and as many of you as possible come to this gathering at Wake Forest. All delegates are requested to write, by August 22nd, to Mrs. R. B. Roy- all, chairman of the hospitality com mittee, and homes will be provided for them. If your church has no Society ap point two of your good sisters to at tend this meeting; send their names to Mrs. Royail and they will be cor dially welcomed and entertained in the same way as the delegates. Let every one come prepared to do her part towards making this a meet ing full of earnest work and service for our Redeemer. MRS. JOHN F. LANNEAU, President Wake Forest Woman’s Missionary Society. i We were glad to welcome Paul Jones into our church by baptism on the night of June 24, and Earle Hin- I son in the same way on the night of ! July 9. May these two dear boys make earnest, faithful servants of the King. Our sympathy is extended to the ! family of Bro. T. L. H. Young. This j aged servant died at the home of his i son in Burkeyille, Va., on Sunday, I July 9. He had gone to Virginia to I renew his contract as a traveling salesman for the next season, but was snatched off suddenly. But this is a ; good way to go when one is ready. Congratulations and all good wishes to Dr. and Mrs. Chas. Highsmith. They were married on June 28 at Snow Hill. It may seem very trying to get to Sunday School, the missionary socie ty, and the other meetings of the church during these hot days, but iet us remember that the forces of evil are just as busy as ever. And Bro. George Cook has brought down his bride also from Halifax. They were married on June 28. Long and happy lives to you both! Several of our» people have had to go to the hospital this summer for operations. They are ail back, and seem to be getting in good shape again. How thankful we all should be! And how we ought to consecrate ourselves to the service of God! Don’t forget to look afte^- the sick ones. What are our visitors doing these days? There is great need of this work. Prof, McLean has accepted the care of the Franklinton Graded Schools for next year. Many good wishes will follow him from Dunn. MEETING IN SOUTH DUNN. On Sunday night, July 30, Bro. Tom Hood, of Goldsboro, will begin a meet ing in the chapel in South Dunn. We trust that this meeting may result in the conversion of many precious souis. Bro. Hood does not hesitate to say that he was once in the awful clutches of strong drink, and the sins that accompany the drunkard, but God saved him and gave him a glori ous victory. It is now a great joy to him to tell to others what God has done for him. We trust that the peo ple of the community will attend this meeting and be greatly blessed by it. WHAT IT COSTS TO SMOKE.

WILLIAM STAFFORD. Bro. William Stafford died at his home in South’Dunn cn June 15. Bro. Stafford had been confined to his room for a long time and suffered a great deal, but he bore his suffering with a patience that must have been born of' heaven. As long as he could walk he was faithful to his church, and in his helplessness the church did not forget him. It was very beau tiful to see how the brethren did cling to him and minister to him in his affliction. His wife was as faith ful, surely, as ever a wife could be. The Lord will not forget her. s Bro. Stafford was old, having passed his four-score, and death wafs a release to him. He said he Was ready and waiting. “Blessed is that servant whom, when his Lord .shall come, he shall find waiting.” ^ / SOME FACTS ABOUT THE BAP TISTS.
