Education Discussed Its Influences L'poa Home Life, L'poa Business, Cpen the Chnrth-Ur. Rnha Tells f the JacbsonTille Fire. The sec jnd annual reunion of Lutherans, of North Carolina, convened Aug. 1st at Lutheran Chapel. The Rev. B S Brown, chairman, of committee presi ding. A choir 'of volunteer singers furnished music for the occasion. The opening prayer waa made by Rev. W A Deaton, of Dallas. Chairman Brown recalled the fact that a year ago at that place was held our first Lutheran re union at which tbe theme of the addresses was tbe Century Me morial Endowment. The topic of consideration this year is co ordinate and co-operative with it. INFLUENCE OF EDUCATION UPON HOME LIFE. He introduced Prof. H N Mil ler, Ph. D., of Mont Amcena Seminary, who discussed the in fluence of education upon horde life. He presented education as the basis of all development and its influence in the home as the first step toward that development which fills the world with use fulness. Those who think edu cation needless for a mother make a great mistake. What can be more noble than rearing and training souls for God and the State T Realize this truth and you understand tbe value of education in the home. Rational beings must be guided and developed. Without this man would be at disadvantage beside the ordinary animal. Had not the Divine intended man to be a creature of education he would doubtless have endowed him with instinct. Truth, honor, integrity are fruits of education in the home and it prepares the rising gene ration to train and develop the one next succeeding it. INFLUENCE OF EDTCATION UPON BUSINESS. Rev. W A Lutz discussed the influence of education on busi ness life. It is hardly realized, he thought, how much education is imparted and how eagerly it is sought by men in all the busi ness walks of life. Tbe farmers now watch for instruction from Prof. Massey and they will gath er with eagerness the ideas pre sented by the learned In their line. It has been observed that whatever destroys man's labor has itself a destroyer. Some years ago when it was discover ed that the orange groves of Cal ifornia were about to be destroy ed by the white scab, an insect, and, the orange growers were despondent, Prof. Riley the ac complished entomologist, dis covered that the "lady bird," itself a mere bug, fed on the white scab and nothing else. The lady bird was found and brought into the orchards and tbe problem was solved and the owners of the groves were pros perous and happy. One declared that all be had he owed to the fact that Prof. Riley was edu cated and had learned wbat was needed. Americans wanted to produce tho Smyrna, fig. It could be grown, but could not be ripened until scientific research discov ered that on the wild fig was found an insert that fertilized the Smyrna fig, and thanks to Prof. W. T. Swingli's education, we produce the fig in abundance. When Germany realized that the was being impoverished by buying all her sugar which it was then thought could be found only in cane, the remedy was hoped for in the higher educa tion of tha young, nor was tho hope in vain, for under its pow er chemists discovered sugar in all vegetation and. soon devel oped the sugar beet enterprise from which much more sugar Is now obtained than from the cane. Germany felt the lack of col ore wanted, that had to be im ported from other climes, till educated men discovered that in the cheap, "worthless", coal tar was all the colors known and the want was fully supplied. More than this your headache medicine, is made from coal tar as is saccharin, the sweetest of all sweets, and 800 times tweeter than sugar. He related the instance of two well known men in the State, Ludwig Summers and Edwin Holt The former thought that for his sons to work and make mouey was the end to be desired and he was wealthy. The latter wished to educate his sons and had to borrow money with which to accomplish it. Now the for mer's posterity are almost all ignorant and poor, while the other's are with a few exceptions educated, wealthy and honored. Two classmates were noted. One was tempted away from school to wield ft miner's pick at 11.75 s day. For want of edu cation he could never get more wages. The other continued his studies and his eminence in a successful life shows the former his gigantic and irreparable mis take. SHADY GROVE PICNIC DINNER. At this stage of the meeting a recess was taken And a genuine picnic repast was enjoyed by the groups of friends as the rich bounties were spread out in the shades of that beautiful natural grove. BUSINESS MEETING. At the ringing of the bell a circle gathered in the church and appointed Rev. W A Deaton and Prof. S A Wolff, of the Ten nessee Conference, Dr. G H Cox and Rev. J Q Wertz, of the Southern, and Revs. B S Brown and L E Busbee, of the Northern Conference of the . C. Synod, as a committee to prepare for the third annual reunion and to present at that meeting a suita ble plan for a permanent reu nion organization. INFLUENCE OF EDUCATION ON CHURCH LIFE. Prof. R L Frits, president of Lenoir College, discussed the influence of education upon church life. He said it was a much discussed subject but never grows old. It is a great sub ject. Its influence must be posi tive or negative. It must gather to the church or scatter abroad from it. He here declared for Christian education as the only safe de velopment of the mind that meets the true end of man. Edu cation is not a good thing when it parts company with the Chris tian religion. It is a power for evil only away from the church, but Christian education main tains the church life, it saves the church life. We must im part Christian education or per ish as a church. In every branch of the church, in every auxiliary society or or ganized body its influences are the sustaining force, the life. THE JACKSONVILLE FIRE. r Dr. 8 S Rahn, of Jacksonville, Florida, being present wai 'in vited to address the assembly on the wants of the Jacksonville Lutheran church. It is one thing to read of the fire but an other thing to hear and read the facial lines of one, whose soul has been racked with the terrific scene and its desolate results. It was touching to intensity." It required tho stout hearts and the patient suffeiers to inspire hope ip the despondent. Cut the peo pie from all over this broad land are responding to tbe appeals. Help is coming but much is needed. He said there are many wants and causes drawing on us. He told the story of the noble miner boy who refused to be helped oui of the death trap till Joe Brown, who was further down should be .taken up first, He said we of Jacksonville are tbe "Joe Brown, the furthest down." The day was now far spent and Dr. G H Cox yielded his place on the program and also Dr. R C Holland, save to empha size Dr. Rahn's appeal and he merely touched upon the theo logical seminary endowment movement. The meeting then adjourned with the Lord's prayer in con cert and the benediction by Dr. Holland. The noon recess and the after adjournment period were extensively enjoyed in greetings by friends and the renewings of acquaintances, etc., the latter especially applicable to the young folks. To all the day was a success that calls for no letting go of this new born custom among Luther ans in North Carolina. Cresoeus Breaks His Record. Cresceus, the great trotting stallion broke the world's record he established last Friday by trotting a mile in 2:02$ Thursday evening at Cleveland on tbe same track, thus , lowering the best record t second The half mile pole was passod in .19 seconds, record never before attained. More than 12000 people saw the trotter in action and when he came under the wire the crowd rushed to the track and hung a huge wreath of flowers about his neck. ' Mr. Robb H. UosYVaTrled. ' ' .

A venerable couple, Mr. and Mrs. Ephraim Overcash, aged about seventy years, were buried today (Saturday) at Mount Mo riah church near China Grove. Mrs. Overcash died of typhoid fever at 12 o'clock Thursday night and Mr. Overcash expired just 24 hours later of heart dis ease. The body of Mrs. Over cash had not been removed from the home when Mr. Overcash followed her to the spirit world, so that it was a double funeral today. Mr. and Mrs. Overcash bad but one child to suffer this double stroke of parental bereavement, Mr. C D Overcash. This aged couple bore the best of names as citizens, neighbors and members of the Christian Church. "Lovely and pleasant in their lives and in their death they were not divided." A Boy's Fortune.. A boy with the influences of true home life, with a faithful father, and good, kindly,, judi cious mother, starts on the jour ney of human struggle and strife for success with fortune greater than the treasure of Croesjs. The great enemy of boyhood is bad company, of which it has been truly said that it is like a nail driven into a post, which after the first and second blow, may: be drawn out with little difficulty; but being driven up to the head, pinchers can scarcely take hold to draw it out. The American Boy. Widows' Flairs. In Sumatra, if a woman is left a widow, immediately after her husband's death she plants a flagstaff at her door, upon which a flag is raised. So long as the flag remains untorn by the wind the etiquette of Sumatra forbids her to marry, but at the first rent, however tiny, she can lay aside her weeds and accept the first offer she has. Woman hood. No Hops for Charles Ajcock, Jr. Gov. Aycock writes to his private secretary, Mr. Pearsall, that the doctors hold out no hope for the recovery of his son Charles.
