THE SUNDAY SCHOOL. LESSON XIII, SECOND QUARTER, IN TERNATIONAL SF.RIES, JUNE 24. Text of the Ltaion, m. Comprehensive Quarterly Review Golden Text, Math, -wt, 10 Commentary Prepared kjr Rev. D. X. Stearn. Copyright, 1900, by D. M. Stearns. Lessoh I. The beatitudes (Math. It, 25, to v, 12). Golden Text, "Blessed are the pure In heart, for they shall see God" (Math., 8). The Teacher la God manifest in the flesh, and the words are the words of God (I Tim. iii, 16; John lv, U0), and the works are the works of God, and He would reproduce both words and works in some measure in each be liever if we were fully yielded to Ilim, for we are here "in Christ's stead" that the life of Jesus may be manifested in our mortal bodies (II Cor. v, 20; It, 10, 11). Lessoh II. Precepts and promises (Math, vli, 1-14). Golden Text, Math, vii, 12, "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you do ye even so to them." This lesson is also part of the sermqu on the mount, in which our Lord teaches us of the Father, His love to us and care of us and what our attitude to Him and consequently to our fellow men should be. Knowing our Father and having confi dence in Ilim takes away all anxious care and causes us to live to His glory. Lesson III. The daughter of Jairus raised (Mark v, 22-24, 35-43). Golden Text, "Be not afraid, only believe." The three instances of Christ raising the dead the ruler's daughter, the widow's son and Lazarus are suggestive of this among other things, that when Jesus cornea to earth for Ilia people there will be some who have just died, some bodies on the way to burial and some corrupt ing, like that of Lazarus, but all the dead bodies shall live again, they that are Christ's at His coming and the rest of the dead at the end of the thousand years (John v, 28; I Cor. xv, 23; Rev. xx, 5). Lesson IV. The centurion's servant healed (Luke vli, 1-10). Golden Text, Ts. ciii, 13, "Like as a father pitieth his chil dren so the Lord pitieth them that fear Him." It is a mistake to think that we can be worthy to receive anything from God. Redemption and all its benefits are given to us freely In Christ and for His sake (Rom. iii, 24; viii, 32). He aione Is worthy, and it becomes us to pray, "O Lord, though our iniquities testify against us, do Thou it for Thy name's sake" (Jer. xiv, T). Lesson V. Jesus and John the Bap tist (Luke vli, 18-28). Golden Text, Mark vii, 87, "He hath done all things well." John the Baptist, great in the sight of the Lord, no greater ever born of wo man (verse 28 and Luke i, 15), imprison ed for righteousness' sake and seemingly neglected by our Lord, sends messengers to ask our Lord if He is the Christ or if there is to be another. It looks as if John was offended, for the Lord Jesus sent the message to him, "Blessed is he whosoever shall not be offended in Me" (verse 23). Lesson VI. Jesus warning and invit ing (Math, xi, 20-30). Golden Text, Math xi, 28, "Come unto Me all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." To whom much is given of them shall much be required, and the cities here mentioned had privileges above Tyre and Sidon and Sodom which made their responsibility all the greater. There is much to discourage one in this world, much opposition to what is right and much mis judgment of one's aims and actions, but there is rest in telling Jesus , and in doing what He did, accept all as from God and say, "I thank Thee, O Fa ther." Lesson VII. Jesus at the Pharisee's house (Luke vii, 30-50). Golden Text, Luke vii, 50, "Thy faith hath saved thee." There is little hope for people who, like this Simon, consider themselves right eous, for the Lord Jesus said, "I came not to call the righteous, but sinners, to re pentance." What a deception the devil practices upon us when he makes us think that our clothing is good when it is only filthy rags and that we are rich and need nothing when we are poor and blind and need everything! (Isa. lxiv, 6; Rev. iii, IT, 18.) Lesson VIII. Parable of the sower (Math, xlii, 1-8 and 18-23). Golden Text, Luke viii, 11, "The seed is the word of God." The Simon of the last lesson is a sample of Israel as a nation, specially of her rulers and leaders, the priests, scribes and Pharisees. They needed no Saviour, having a righteousness of their own (Rom. x, 3), and so rejected and crucified Christ Lesson IX. Parables of the kingdom (Math, xlii, 24-33). Golden Text, Math, riii, 88, "The field is the world." This is a continuation of last week's lesson and describes more fully the phase of the kingdom manifest in this present age.' Among the children of God will be found the children of the devil to the end of the age. These children of the wicked one will be found in prominent places in the church, like the birds in the branches. Lesson X. The twelve sent forth (Math, ix, 35, to x, 8). Golden Text, Math, x, 20, "It is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh In you." Those who are willing to be sent forth by Ilim as His messengers, bearing the precious seed of His word, must remember that they are as sheep in the midst of wolves, that they mu.st not fear them which kill the body, that they must trust the Spirit for the words they are to speak and have no anxiety about temporal things. Lesson XI. Death of John the Bap tist (Mark vl. 14-29). Golden Text, Eph T, 18, "Be not drunk with winf wjiiiau is excess, bwjLJ,.iy?.Hwjl'-"11 "" '""""' Born-a-"1""" THE AMKNBEM AMENDMENT,- Text of tlie Important Measure You Will Be Called to Vote On 1 Aii iust n l'asned by the Ia-llat ure June 13, 1900.

But it seems that we have in curred the malice of one man at least V e were so unfortunate as to have to sit at the same table at dinner with Mr. S. B. Adams at Graham last Saturday, and, in a cowardly and rascally way, he took advantage of our being in a .re spectable lady's house to insult us. Soon after we sat down, without any refer ence to any conversation and without any excuse, Adams reared himself back and said: "I supf.ose the little scoundrel editors of the little country papers will say that there were only two or three white men in the procession today, as it would only be a sample of their lying representations. Having delivered thin kind of tirade againpt us on another occasion, we con sidered that we were one of the editors referred to. Of course, we had too much respect for the lady of the house to re ply to this insult, and haven't the physical strength to resent it personally, if we wanted to: but we will say this much, that there were in that proces sion many white men, men who are our friends, men who are true gentlemen, but there was certainly one in that pro cession who was a disgrace to the gentle men who were in the procession, a man whose heart is as black as the face of the black negroes whose champion and leader he is, and we nearly said com panion, for if meeting with them and juggling with them is not associating, we don t know the difference, a dirty negro leader in every sense of the word, a man who in voting for a negro called upon those present to come and set him do it; a man who, excusing the hellish deeds of rape of the negro, said that it was no worse than the seduction of wenches by white men, excusing the acts of such brutes as the negro Sellars, now lying in jail at Graham charged with such crime, which crime is as apt to be against the little innocent child as against the strong woman, comparing his crime with that of evil minded white men, and he a judge upon the bench at that time. And, above all, this man proposes to be our next governor ! We excuse him for his insult, but don't believe he would have said it if ve had been physically able to have resented it; but we pray to God that no such man will defile the gubernatorial chair of North Carolina, and hecertain tainly never will unless uegro rule be comes supreme. The Legislature Meets. Raleigh, N. C, June 12. The gen eral assembly of North Carolina met at noon today in special adjourned session. The roll-call showed 84 of the 120 repre sentatives add 46 of the 70 senators present. Very few of the Eepiblican or Populist members are in attendance, as the legislators are here on their own ex pense, and only a few political meas ures are to be passed. The session will hardly last more than a week. The ses sion of the two houses at noon were very short, both adjourning until this eyening as a mark of respect for three members who have died since the regu lar session in the winter of ISO'J. The work of the session will consist of some alterations in the proposed con stitutional amendment and in the pres election law, and in the enactment of a few general laws of pressing importance. Literary relocation an Evil, Not a IIIcsKiiig, to the Negro. In his annual report to the Winston Graded School recently Superintendent Tomhnson makes this statement: "I am convinced that much of the work done in the higher grades at the colored school will be of no practical benefit to the negro. A literary educa tion only encourages him to try to oc cupy a position that will never be ac corded him. t favor therefore, elimi nating the studies that are beyond the range of the common school, substitut ing some industrial features that will train these pupils along lines that they are bound to follow, sooner or later." Winnie Davit School of History En !orel. The "W innie Davis School of His tory," established in connection with the Limestone Female College, located at Gaff ney, S. (J., was heartily endorsed and pledged co-operation and uupport by the veterans at the Louisville reun ion. The object of this BChool is to pay particular attention to Southern history, to stimulate original research, and to create a great depository for historical documents, where Southern girls may read with reverence the record of their fathers' splendid achievements, and where the South may find the vindica tion of the great political right of self government for which she fought. Work on the new Cooleemee Mill at Jerusalem, which is near Mocksville, is progressing rapidly.

'V!M? 1 Who Comprise tlie "Lower Class of Whites." Charlotte Observer. A few days ago The Observer had the following editorial paragraph : "The struggle of the white people of North Carolina to rid themselves of the danger of the mle of negroes and the lower class of whites is being watched with interest outside the State. The Columbia State, for instance, says that 'South Carolina people are very much interested in the campaign for white supremacy in North Carolina and are hoping for success ;' and further: "We trust our friends across the border will not be disappointed in the result. They are making a gocd fight a fight worthy of North Carolina Democrats.' For the interest and prayers of our outside friends we owe them thanks." We received last night from a friend in another town a letter enclobing the above and saying : ''The Republicans are very much elated over the inclosed editorial item from your paper arid I understand they are having 50,000 cards printed with this article on one side of the card for distribution. They say this notice is a dead give-way that the Democrats in tend to disfranchise the 'poor white man. " Nay, nay, Pauline I We didn't say anything about the "poor white man'' nor the illiterate white man, but the lan guage was plain : "Negroes and the lower class of whites" meaning such cattle as are having these 50,000 cards printed, seeking to pervert what they perfectly well know was The Observer's meaning. TheHe, not the poor nor the ignorant, are the lower class of whites, and it is of their rule, as well as of the negroes, that the decent people of the State intend to be rid. Upholds the Craig Law. Charlotte, June 8. The North Car olina supreme court yesterday afternoon decided the Craig law, which was in tended to force corporations chartered i by other States to demesticate them-! selves in the State for the purpose of preventing them from transferring suits againstthem to the United States courts, to be constitutional. The case decided was a snit against the Bell Telephone company for damages for negligence of a lineman. Justice Douglas says he de voted a fortnight to writing the opin ion. The case will go to the United States supreme court on writ or error. Belle Boyd, the female spy of Con federate fame, died suddenly of heart disease, at Kilbourne, Wis., on the 11th. where she had gone to lecture. She was 57 years of age and known all over the country. Customer Is there any difference between this year's styles of saddle and those of last year? Bicycle Dealer- Oh, yes.

Under it, any white man who could vote any time before 18G7, or whose ancestors (that is, his father, grandfather, ereat-grand-father, etc.), could vote at any time before 1867, can register whether he can read and write or not any time before 1908, and will alwayB thereafter be entitled to vote. So you see, under these provisions, every American-born white man and every white foreigner naturalized before 1867, or the descend ant of such foreigner can register and yote. Q. Why this difference between the white man and negro? A. Why bless your soul, it is a mat ter of natural understanding and capacity. The white man has more sense and capacity than the negro, and by nature understands the duties and responsibilities of suffrage and citizen ship better than the negro; and the Democratic party holds that the unedu cated white man can be trusted to cast a more intelligent vote than eveu an educated negro. That is what white Democrats believe, and white Republi cans should believe it and many do. Q. Will white men who are registered before 1908 have to be able to read and write to vote after that time? A. No. Every white man who regis ters under the grandfather clause of the Amendment before 1908, will be placed on the "permanent roll," and will for ever thereafter be entitled to vote, al though he may ne' er know a letter in the books. ' Ills Client Skipped. Greensboro, N. C, June 11. One of the dirtiest cases that has been tried in Guilford court for some time came to a rather abrupt ending late Saturday af ternoon. It was the case against Robt. Phillippie, for slander. All the evi dence was taken before the noon recess, and the lawyers finished their argument about 5 o'clock. The jury soon return ed a verdict of guilty, after which Mr. G. S. Bradshaw arose to show the court that it should be lenient with the de fendant. In the course of his remarks he called for "my client," but, lo ! there was no response. Search was made for the missing man, but he was not found. It has developed that he, with his broth er, Ian Phillippie, who was to have been tned for a similar offense, had abscond ed. The two men left to their unhappy bondsmen a pair of mules and a wagon, with which they came to town, and which they left in a lot back of the court houee. The Supreme Court in the case against a Charlotte firm decides in favor of the State Treasurer that dealers in pianos and organs must pay $10 annual license for each agent in the field.
