The continu ance of this paper will ulti- inately depend upon the formation of a Fund to cuabl'i us to do our own puwi in". If to-day it were announced that not another number could be issued until an amount should be contributed by its friends ufTicicnt to furnish an office with type, press and fixtures, the necew-ary sum would be forthcoming in less than one month. The friends of North Carolina Method ism know the value of such an organ to the cause they love; they have the mean-, to place it upon a permanent basis, almost without effort; and it would be done at once, if immediate action were required as "TLe present "terms of publication merely afford time f-r action, but do not warrant lethargy. The farmer, the mechanic, the "merchant, who delays his preparations to the last.inonvnt who doea nothing until an emergency is on him, will fail. e only ask the name promptness for the pa per which its friends manifest in managing their personal affair. TLe Xoith Carolina Conference needs a Conference paper, and it has one. If it is worth publishing at all, the experience and practice of every other paper in the .State demonstrate the necessity of getting ready to publish it ourselves. However satisfactory and reliable the present plan of publication may be, tliere are potent reasons which appeal to the friends of the North Carolina Christian Advocate to be prompt and liberal in supplying the means to do our own publishing : 1. This plan will secure the permanency of the paper. Should the present contract be interrupt ed by death or any other contingency, we might not be able to secure another con tract. Tiv which the naner could live. Then - - j -'ii raise the necessary im in a hurried man- ner, wl Inch would harrass and incommode our people no little. Better begin in ear nest now, while we have means to give, and time to collect. 2. It will cost less to do our own pub lishing. It cannot be expected thai any one will Tuiblish for us bv contract, without a fair r r ' nssitudes that Lave met all other church 4f V !ers. The day may come when the sub scription list will not pay the contract price of publication, ami the paper consequently have to be discontinued; whereas, if we be prepared to do our own publishing at less cost, the Advocate can safely pass the crisis, and live ou in renewed prosperity through future generations. 3. A publishing office of our own will offer great facilities for the creation and diffusion of home literature, iu the publi cation of sermons, essays and all kinds of pamphlet productions, by our own preach ers and laymen. Productions, adapted to advance the church, defend the truth, and me-t a want which is felt at home, and must be supplied by home talent, would come from our own press. Rut men now feel indisposed to publish in distant or in isecular offices, because they are not conve nient, and may be controlled by the ene mies of Methodism. To supply this want, we must and we can have an office of our own. 4. An appeal is made to the benevolence of our people. When we do our own pub lishing, we save money. When the Pub lishing Fund is sufficiently large to answer fully the purpose of its creation, we can publish cheaper than by contract ; and ev ery dollar thus saved can be appropriated to the enlargement of the Contingent Fund; or be given directly to the support of the superannuated preachers, and the widows and children of our brethren who have died in the service of the church. Those who give to this Fund will accom plish a double service to the cause of God. They will secure the permanent establish ment of a paper which is Important, if not essential, to the success and defence of Methodism in our bounds, and which will continue to visit and instruct thousands of families weekly, for years, who cannot otherwise be brought under the influence of sound doctrines ; and they will also con tribute indirectly, but certainly, to the com forts of the old preachers, and to the sup port and education of the widows and or phans of deceased ministers. Will the preachers call the attention of the members and friends of our Advocate to this subject? Will they solicit contri- butions to the Pnbli.hi.5 Pn, w , butions to the Publishing Fund? Will our people respond at once, and freely, to this appeal ? We have no personal interest in this claim upon the church's liberality. We are impelled to this appeal solely by the interest of the North Carolina Christian Advocate and the true, far-reaching inte rests of Methodism in the North Carolina Conference.

The " Third Annual Report of the Su perintendent of Common Schools for the State of North Carolina" has been laid on our table. ut;!rioosT srnccess- ful operation, and to bring them to the highest point of efficiency and usefulness, are elaborately discussed. A great amount of useful information is j given; and if the suggestions to all con cerned could but be carried into practical operation, a new era would dawn upon North Carolina. As a people, we are be- ! ginning to be aroused to the advantages of commercial and agricultural improvements; and we are multiplying facilities for the higher walks of education ; but it is to be feared that we are sadly neglecting pri mary schools, which lie at the foundation of all permanent State improvement. If the wealthy and the educated of ev ery school district would take an active in terest in the common school, by acting as committee-men, sending their children, add- ing enough from their own means to em- j ploy a competent teacher by the year, their own children would be educated better, at less cost, and the whole mass of the rising generation would come up abreast and ir resistible, to the high destiny of the future. That Agent Again. If the defender of the Virginia Vaccine Agent in the "Warrenton News" be not a Virginia 31. D., who seeks to soothe the imaginary wounds of professional and State pride, by indulging a hatred to the church of which this paper is an organ, then has he done himself great injustice by his last production. He has succeeded in but one thing : he has placed himself beyond our reach, and won our future silence. In bidding him adieu, we are happy to quote and endorse his closing paragraph : " We may be pardoned for saying in the conclusion that clergymen are the very last people on earth to make haste to censure physicians. Besides being always welcome to their gratuitous services, their mission in this world is in many respects similar : both give up their best energies and ruin their health in unreouited errands nf Wa and mercy; and when the one has ex hausted the skill of his divine art, and pal liated the pains he could not, miel! tho other smoothes the pillow of death, and points the way to brighter worlds on high."

What they think of TJs. The following is from the New York Observer, of the 3d inst. and will enlight en our readers, by showing what wonderful stories of North Carolina are afloat in the commercial emporium : j wrHwriicTcr-iicrt rrr miv person pray or preach, had never seen a Bible, or neara ot J esus I 1 hroughout " the I'lnes, where everybody is engaged in making tur pentine, he found similar specimens of heathenism ; not one halt the population according to his estimate, having ever seen a Bible !" The religious condition of North Caroli na is not so good as it ought to be ; but there cannot be a word of truth in the above statement. There is not such a fam ily in the whole State as the writer de scribes ; much less is it true that not one half of the population in " the pines" or any other section, never saw a Bible ! Bibles and Bible morality abound among the population " in the pines," more, in proportion to numbers, than in the city of New York ; and if there is a family "m six miles of Greensboro' " who had never heard any person pray or preach, had never seen a Bible, or heard of Jesus,"' that family must have been born both deaf and blind or else had just arrived from Five Points, New York. Eevivals. A private note from Bro. Carter, last Saturday, conveyed the good news of a re vival iu Franklinton. He was aided in the meeting, which had continued several days, by Brethren Maynard and Gray. Eighteen souls had been converted, and the interest was inereasinsr. From other points we also hear of interest, and occa sional conversions, while indications of extensive revivals encourage the preachers and people to wait upon the Lord. Why may not this be the great revival year ? What is to hinder ? "If God be for us, who shall be against us V A Remarkable Prayer. In Algernon Sidney's Letters occurs the following account of the death of Charles X., king of Sweden : "About eleven of the clock on the 12th of February, he tooke his bed, and within an hour after died, haying spent part of that short time in discourse with his ser vants ; the rest in private meditation : af ter which he was heard to say. 'Lord, when I can no longer speak, hearken unto my sighs,' and presently expired." Home Circle. This monthly for April is received.
