Respecting reduced rate on Railroads, Rev.
L.. R. Johnson who has the matter in hand
sends the'following:
On the R. & D. N. 0. and N. W. N. 0. R.
Rds, in North Carolina delegates can pur
chase tickets (round trip) at three (3) cents a
mile each way.
The tickets will be on sale on Nor. 29th,
30th and Dec. 1st and will be gopd to return
until Dec. 8th,
It will be seen that this arrangement for re
duced fare is very incomplete as there is
nothing said *of the roads leading through
South Carolina and terminating at Charlotte,
over which the delegates from Florida,
Georgia and South Carolina must pass in or
der, to reach Synod. ;A.s there is yet ample
time to do so it is hoped that the Committee
of Arrangements will endeavor to secure re
duced fare on the roads indicated and inform
delegates who require to pass over them by
card as to the result.
To delegates residing along the line of the
Carolina Central Railway we take the'respon.
sibifity of saying. Let the Elders obtain cre
dtialsf from] the Church session of which
they are members, and then let both the min
isters and elders show these reductions to the
ticket agents at the stations where they take
the train and return tickets at redned rates
can be had.
Judgiufc present indications^ the at
tendance upon the approaching meeting of
Synod will be very large. As there is much
important business to come before the meet
ing its sessions are likely to be fall of interest.
We suppose Dr. Allen the new Correspond
ing georetary of the Freedmen’s Committee
will be on hand.
The good people of the Greensboro church
and their friends seem to be making full
preparation to give Synod a splendid enter
tainment. , /
WOMEN.
God gave women unto man to be his com
panion and helpmeet. By women oame the
fall bnt through women came the Messiah
also, and ever since the days of Adam, this
God-given associate has been either the temp
tress or the restorer of man. The Sampsons
of the world and their Delilahs mark some of
the saddest portions of its history; The Mary’s
and Salome’^, some of the noblest and most
hallowed. Among the most favored of those
who rhimstered to par Lord on earth, were
the faithful women. They were last at the
cross and first at the tomb; and the words of
Jesus first recorded after he had risen, were
spoken to that Mary whose utterance of meet
ing pathos will never lose its power to thrill.
“ They have taken away my Lord and I know
not where they have laid him.”
Take from history, both church and secu
lar, its noble women and what remains would
be flat and prosy comparatively speaking, but
there is nd hope for a people whose women
are not to be trusted. Let these words “be
graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock
of power.” There is no hope for a people whose
women are not to be trusted. It is the mothers
who make and mould the characters of men.
Jt is the maidens who stimulate young man
hood to noble deeds or to wretched, trifling
and deeds of shame. It is the wife who makes
or mars the happiness of a man’s life. It is a
woman, the mother, maiden, or wife who
makes of that place where the family daily
assemble, home with all its endearing and hal
lowing influences, or a mere tarrying place to
which one is drawn by convenience and force
of habit, rather than by any high and holy
affections.
j Slavery has left its mark in many places,
ljut its deepest blight rests upon the women of
the colored races It is a end fact} it is a de
plorable one; it is one to be wept over and
prayed, but it is one to be faced. True it is
that there are pure and noble minded women
of this people, those with a deep -scorn of all
wrongdoing. Madonnas in the sacred ness
with which they haye guarded tbemsglyes
from every approach of evil; bnt their num?
her is less than.lt should be. And from such
must redemption come to the people if it
come at all.
WDU
Then what becomes the doty or tnose
are working for the upbuilding of the race ?
It is to guard with the utmost iealflflflS* 'ihe
fathers and
also thg
on the alert

A foreigner who came to a New England
town not long ago, made this remark. “If a
yonng man happens to pnt his arm around a
girl, she feels herself insulted.”. And I was
proud of the girls of my own New England
and know that the prosperity of that portion
of our land is due as much to the excellence
and industry of its women as to any other
canse.
I have written plainly because I feel strong
ly and because I wish to stir all to make this
their rallying point. No matter wbait ad
vances may be made in education, wealth,
taste and the improvement of native talent,
if this citadal be not gained from the enemy,
all is lost. There is a way that leadeth 'to
hell, but the pure in heart shall see God.
