For The Infirm and tiseascd Died Last Thursday THe erald INFERENCE 'A At the request of the editor of The Herald we give the following account of the Bible Conference . recently held In the city of . Atlanta. As many know Dr. Len (1. Brought began holding confe rencesin A'lanta more than ten Years ago. When he went to London he promised that these conferences would' be continued. This vear Dr. Dickey of the Win ona Conference has beon conduc ting; a Renos of associations in diflercnt parts of the United States. Strong sneakers have been engaged by him and these working with the regular Atlanta Association made this year' Co nference one of the very best in its history. I suppose every, one would mention Dr. Campbell Morgan of London as first among the spea kers' With the exception of a few seats in the scond gallery the Tabernacle was always full when hesp'oke. The Home, The School ' jnd The Church were tlie subje ' 1:1s of three of his most interest ing addresses. In speaking of t! e duties of parents ho hud especial emphaison theoblgation of tho fathers, . He said that one tiling that was sorely needed in . England and very likely in -this country was a re establishment of the family pew. Ho said, al so, that the home ought to b something more than a boarding hoiiH.v One morning Dr. Mor g la read a letter that bad been . addressed to him and signed "by "a mother", . This mother ex pressed Jiorself as being very J much perplexed :. because ;l Dr. f . Morgan had stressed so throng- r . , . . . . . . ij tne-duties 01 (atnors in rear ing .children. She' wondered . if mothers were not allowed to have something to do in this iin 1 portant'work. Dr. Morgan' re plied that he had been prodding the fathers because they needed .it more than the mothers. I He said moreover he didn't mean to . exclude them in the terms uced for it must be remembered ' that when God created n;an he creat ed bim' jia'.e and female and - were called , Adam arid not the Adamses. ;,,' ;Dr. Morgan is a jreat teacher, undoubtedy one . 'of the greatest living expositors of the Bible. ' . Dr. Sou per, also of London, is a native ft Scotland and his speech still savors of- the heath v and moor. J He deiyered some i of the most scholarly addresses of the whole conference.'; The Old Testament ;;as Literature ' end Life Was very fine.- -We felt -?v that he did not get a fair show. j.

" ' . We had an excellent -time in Europe I am very much impress cd with the French people as well as all the other European aeople. For instance you know we see a lot of the fruit dealt ra and hand organ people from Italy and I had in my mind that all thte. men in Italy were of this class, but soon founl that I was badly mistaken, I found the peo pie to be one of the best class in Europe, I visited Rome while I was away and my trip was worth very much to me.-1 have often read of all the the ancient buildings and strange Historical things, but never thought that I would have the pleasure of see- them. We went to see the Pope "while we were there. The stairs in the building where the Pope stays wcro linei with solid gold and they keep guards every five feet , apart. I guess that is to keep any -one from carrying away any ot tne steps." Well we were to see the Pope at twi o'clock on Monday morning, so we were on Mine on time. -.We- walked in Und started to walk up .1. - ' J . 1 1 r T I J . 1 bill? 8lps - jueib iikq x wuuiu dl home, when oiie- of the guard made , us -; understanb that . we were to walk up 0:1 our: knees.

I would go but op my head. I de cided in favbrof the former. The Pope gave us an- excellent talk and praised the American sailors most highly.

N. C. March 1 1,-- If plans uhicli i.iive been set on foot by 11 'number of. 'leading North Carolinia is mature, North Carolina will, b. fore a t'reat while, h.ive an orthopetiic ho.- pital lor dependent,- dieas.;.! orphans of sound mind. That tliero is ureat nm-d f T such an institution is readily admitted by the leading physicians of tho State and by charitably inrlini'il citizens wh 1. hi their fTi-f" I 1' take care of orphans by placing' tln.'in in Institutions over the! State: have found that th ii i Carolina whore orphans 01' le formed or diseased bodies but sound mind can be udi&ited. At a gathering of 'raveling men in Charlotte recently, Mr. It. 11. Bab n of Gastonia, lo whom is perhai s due much if the credit for starting the agila ti n for i such m inMitution, o' t-1 lined briefly tlie needs for .the institution and hinted at some of the piiinsas devi-lopert by him anil other. Aske 1 I r further facts regarding tliK matter, Mr. Babington made the following statement: "About four years a to, while reading an orphanage paper pub lished in North Carolina. I was struck with horror and Mir.ir's to se.3 the application of throe worthy children refused by th management of the instituion. It! was 110 reflection on the institu tion. Sad to say, it wi.s proper to refuse ti',riccepttlii-m, because our pies 'nt -we'll equijiped or phanages all over North Carolina are only prepared to recive the child of sound body. These up plications were from poor de pendant, needy, widowed moth ers who were sick and unable to support the family. One mother had a ci'livpli d deformed boy with a bright iniiuli nine years old. Another it other a plie 1 for a bright irl of seven years, who had a slight ear and catarrah affliction. The third was a fine bright boy, 6 years old, who had tuberculosis of the spine. They were all refused admittance and correctly so, because formed deseased children should not be placed in orphanages with our well children. "Do you know, there is not nn orphanage in North Carolina to day that can care for tii.v. above children, A slight hos. vital op eration would have caiel and rele'ived two of those children. The third one could have beeu wonderfully beneffte 1 aud per haps cured, or at least 1 elped relieved, if we had had a place to take them in. For about four years this much-needed institu tion has been a burden on my heart. Why shoull this good State allow these most worthy, dependent children to suffer and be discriminate 1 against? The State at Kinston, N, C. provides a home for the child of feeble mind. Our eight to twelve or-' phanages provide- homes an 3 schools for children of sound body. Why should the child of sound mind an orphan, or poor child, with a diseased, crippled. deformed body, be allowed t hobble' all his or nor U'e, 1 with out a friend ar any assistance, to grow up in sin and vice? Where as, if we will build and mantain a home and hospital fo them, (Continued on. Rditoral Page.) Mr. K. J.

During which time we can truthfully say that there has never been more ef fective work done among us.
