'entertainments. The young people werri taught quiet and gentle deport ment, and it was^ not necessary to hold their attention by ’platform gymnasiums and an. exhibition of concerted cries with throwing hand kerchiefs. Their meetings were, filled with tremors and tears and cont)-i- tion. The exortations were addressed to their understandings, and the emotions manifested were genuine. These are evidences that this revival moved many to embrace the Savior within the limits of the Mountain district. 'Temperance was agitated in i : Associations during these same years and strong resolutions were intro duced in the charleston, Broad River, North Carolina and Virginia bodies warning the people of the pernicious influence of strong drink, treating at eieciions and musters, and by candi dates for public office was made the snhjoct of discussion and reproba tion. We are glad to read these grat ifying resolutions and to give them currency. Some reformers would make believe that the world had no light On these subjects, until they themselves gave it, but Temperance appears in the minutes of our Asso ciation ever since those minutes w^re first put into print, and even the subject of Temperance was not new among the Baptists. We have al ways advocated them. In its p-«per order we can take up the resolutions that divided onr fathers on “the or ders of the day” one of which was the Sons of Temperance,” we must remember that Temperance was one question and Sons of Temperance quite a different thing. For the present it is fitting to know that pas tors and churches made a temperate life a test of ehrisi ^tm living. Education has also been an absorb ing sitbject ever since the settlement of our country, and our Baptists forefathers were on the side of learn ing. Following the ingathering of 1799—1803 when young converts went out every where preaching with such preparation as they had, there has been some oversight, but prior to that time the old-reguiai; order of Pbilauelphia, Kefockton, ^a., and Charlstoii, S. c., were all advocates of an educated ministry and the ministers of the Mountain Associti- tion were many of them good bible students, and men of good qualifica tions for their work. We instance the circular Letter of 1839 written by Elder Jas. Vaniioy as a document of real merit, and well deserves to be put into permanent form. He was not alone, Drury Dobbins, Hosea Holcombe, John Culpepper, Humphry Posey and oth ers among the older preachers, and Smith Ferguson, R. L. Steele, Rich ard Gentry and others of gentle birth and some of real culture are models for years to come. ^ Inasmuch as the operations of^gji Associatioi^is working bodies is to form an extem^ed sketch we will conclude this article with an appeal to all Baptists to give the same con siderate hearing to the next chapter that has been accorded in the first one here ended. W. H. £. Greensboro, N. c. that a Christian’s life is far happier than the life of a sinner simply be- cause I have tried both ways. I have found a Christian’s life the' happier of the two. I was twelve years old when I first came to .Tesiis. I wish I conld describe the great, happrmo ments I spent when Jesus took my sins away. I would n,ot give up my precious Savior for nothing in the wide, wide world. Nothing could get me to give up Jesus and go back to the sinful world again. It is true that sinners enjoy their lives better. Sometimes, than we; but it is because they do not take time to reflect. It is an awful thing, and would seem so to sinners if they would just stop and think of the dark and dismal road they are traveling. It mav seem bright, It mav seem as though it was strewn with flowers; but ah! alas! It will not seem so in the end, 'vheii they will have to be called before blessed Jesus, and, with bowed down heads, have to answer for all the sins they have committed. It is a queer idea why a sinner will choose eternal death and torment instead of the way of God. I do not believe that a person that is born of God, that has tasted of the joys of sweet heaven, will ever get so far away from God that he will not return some time before he dies. There is nothing so sweet as a Christian life: for if we love Jesus, we love all. It is true we have many struggles, many trials aud many temptations; but we are pil grims and Strangers here journeying to a sweet, happy land. When the way grows dark and drear, let us re member that we are not alone, no, never alone—Jesus is with us. Loniettie Baker. The UNIVERSITY OF NORTH GAROliINfl Academic Department Law, Medicinc.
