Be Diligent in Prayer. First, when I feel that I am become cold and indisposed to prayer, by reason of other business and thoughts, I take my psalter and run into my chamber, or, if day and sea son serve, into the church to the multitude, and begin to repeat to myself—as children used—the ten com roandments, the creed, and; according as I have time, some sajings of Christ or of Paul, or some Psalms. There fore it is well to let prayer be the first employment in the early morning, and the last in the evening. Avoid dili gently those false and decep tive thoughts which say, wait a little, I will pray an hour hence; I must first perform this or that. For with such thoughts a roan quits prayer for business that lajs hold of and entangles him, so that he comes not to pray the whole day long.—Martin Luther 20. When are your Annual Meetings held? We have received no cc~*tri- butions for the Historical So ciety since the General Con ference at Dunn, with the small amount we received there, we have bought a blank book in which to re cord the names of the con stituent bodies, date of or- ganizltion, name of Clerk and statistics. This we hope to make complete and ac curate, but we cannot dothls in full, without the co opera tion and assistance of our brethren. This will be of great value in the prepara tion of our history. We re gard this as a very import ant matter and as our funds for the Society are exhausted, we hope some good brethren will feel it their duty to send Treasurer money suflicent to bear the necessary incidental expenses of the Society and all the facts ■ bearing on our history that they can secure.

Do yon know of any Yearly Meetings, Conferences or Associations given in the Dear Editor:—Will you al low a Vermonter space in your columns? The Baptist has been very interesting lately. One of the worlds great needs to day, is men and women who can really think- Some one may say, well, we have large numbers of thinking people now. lam aware of the fact that there are a few people in the world who can think, but the num ber is smaller than we think for many times. It is sad, but, yet it is true that our schools are not making thinkers of their students as is expected of them. Many fellows think if they can only get through school as quickly as possible, they are all right, wether they can think or not There are too many people in the world to day who have been through some institu tlon by cramming on examin ation. Securing and educa tlon does not necessary mean being confined to text books, but in learning how to think. For instance, even in the young people’s prayer meet ings we get an inside view of the situation, for many times we find them reading some dipping from the press which, many times has no connec tion with the subject. The fact is, we do not have to think ; we do not try to think we do not want to think, we do not have time to think, and the result is we do not think. The fact of its being true that men do not think in small things proves that they do not think in greater ones. A minister on one pay my part of your salary, and the money is what you are after.” The minister replying si. - suppose that double the alary I get in th the ability ieilow then, in lid, “Well, I ..ght of that.” ; fails to think tiself of some- canuot in any The preacher sotr .laicsa^s, “Well, I must take my serinon notes in the pulpit and preach from them.” If tb.- Lord did not Intend for men to think, why in the name of common intel Hgence did he give them the branins which they possess? Wbat any person aught to do, is to learn how to think regardless of their profession. There are some schools where the boy or girl has such a great amount of work to do until they haven’t time to think. What docs it amount to for a person to be in school going through a cramming process, unless that person has time to think? This system of mem orizing tb'^ different studies, is practically useless, unless the fellow in doing so, learns howto think, for what the person needs, is a drawing out of his thinking faculties. If a fellow is going to amount to anything at ibis age oi the world, he will certainly have to know how to think. Itis an easy job to put something into a man's head, but it is another thing to get some thing out of bis head. Wbat we, as twentieth century men and women need to do, is to think bow to think. There arc many people to day who do not use their brains any more in trying to think than they use the gourd seed out of a dry gourd in trying to make thinkers of themselves Some people in the world have let their brains remain idle until they have to have a note of the things their wives want when they go to town. Some times people are so far from being thinkers as to be bad as the man was w’ho forgot who bis father was. Many times teachers have things done in just some particular way, without let ting the student understand that he murr think forhim- pi' sometimes the teachers c. t students are crowded wi i so much work THE WEBB BILL—WHAT IS IT? uiujian,*, 4^ It has been printed and re- ‘‘Don’t you printed time and again in pa- I could get pers for the last two or three months. You will find a copy of it in our last issue. You may find it under the head of the Kenyon Shepherd Shep pard Bill, and thereis virtual ly no difference in the two bills. Either one will accom plish exactly the same things, —neither more or less. But in a word, this bill, which is au elastic bill, goes just as far to exterminate the liquor traffic as the various States go. It will mean one thing in North Carolina, an other thing in Texas, and still another thing in Tennessee, It will mean cne thing in Wake County, another thing in Union County and another thing in Mecklenburg County. And what it means to any community will depend alto gether upon the State law governing the liquor treffi: in that community. If the State of North Caro lina should ever say that it shall be unlawful to bring liq uor within its borders, that bill would say no liquor shall be shipped into the State. In those counties where the State says more than a quart uf liquor is evidence that it is held for illegal purposes, as in the Union County Act, then this act says not overa quart of liquor can be shipped into Union County. In Mecklen burg County, where the State law says that over three gal lons is evidence that it is held says not over three gallons -- r> — can be shipped into Mecklen- hand that placed them there. THE BEAUTY OF NATUBE. BY .\I A WOODARD. Wbat a beautiful world this is that we live in, and how complete is all things shaped and carved by the active band of nature. Look around you and open your eyes in every way and you will see a sign painted, an image formed by the finger of God, that far sur passes ail the artificial works of man. We look at the flower and see within it the touch of nature’s hand. We see the mountains and our minds or at once carried back to the visitation of our Creator on Mt. Sinai. We look at the ocean with its beautiful waves of snow billows rolling on and on un til they smite the sandy shoals of their destination. We listen to the beautiful voice of birds among the waving boughs of the forrest, until our own hearts seem to play sweet music to the in ward man. We hear the murmur of for your father because he knows so much less than you do; remember the reply of Doctor Wayland to the stu dent of Brown University who said it was an easy enough thing to make pre- verbs such as Solomon wrote. “Make a few,” tersely replied the old man. We never heard that the young man made any—not more than two or three, anyhow. The world has great need of young men, but no greater need than the young men have of it. Your clothes fit you better than your father’s fiit him; they cost more money, they are more stylish, your mustache in neater, the cut of your hair is better, and you are prettier, oh, far pret tier than “pa,” But, young man, the old gentleman gets the bigger salary, and his homely, scrambling signature on the business end of a check will bring more money out of the bank in five minutes than you could get out with a ream of paper and a copper plate signature in six months"' Young men are useful, and silvery streams as they come silently down the bill side making many glad hearts of thirsty creatures that bow down and take a sip of the life giving water. We look up at the beauti ful sky when the curtains (of darkness) clear away and the great scroll is rolled back to give us a clear view of the millions of worlds, that are sending their search lights to ions JS CVIUtU^-t i.uai. w • for illegal purposes, this act ail the world in the brilliancy • •' of glory and honor to the we all love them, and burg County. And in other counties in the State where the amount held for personal use is not limited, this act would not limit the amount shipped into those counties for personal use. So that the proposition is an easy one. Now, then, the thing for all North Carolina prohibitionist to do is to put themselves squarely behind this bill, help to push it through the com mittee and through Congress, and thus shift the solution of the liquor problem from the National law makers to the State Legislatures every where. After we have done this, then we can take it up at Raleigh, and as sentiment demands and the State desires the Leglslatnre having ;thority, can act. It is dead Who is he that cannot erjoy such a beautiful place as this grand world of ours? I know I am the happiest little lonely creature in all the universe, because I seeGod in everything that my eyes be hold. couldn’t engineer a picnic successfully without them. But they are not novelties, son. Oh, no, nothing of the kind. They have been here before. Do not be so modest as to shut yourself clear out, don’t be so fresh you will have to be put away in tne cool to keep from spoiling. Don’t be afraid that your merit will not be discovered. People all over the world are hunting for you; if you are worth finding they will find you. A diamond isn’t so easi ly found as a quartz pebble, but people search for It all the more intently —Bob Burdette. 1 in the r n-clorjis, 1 liear him Tice hin.

A lie is bad, not only because it may lead others, but also because it is a fault in the character who utters it Truth is the foundation and substance of character. When a man becomes a liar his char acter is gone. His whole life is out of joint. No one can trust him. He can not trust himself. He is like a bridge with a rotten foundation. He is not safe. He is an unsafe friend, an unsafe neighbor, an unsafe business man. “Buy ADVICE TO A YOUNG BAN. Remember, son, that the world is older than you are, by several years; that for thousands of years it has been so full of smarter and better young men than your self that their feet stuck out of the dormer-windows; that when they died the old globe went w’hirllng on, and not one man in ten million went to the funeral, or even heard of the death. Be as smart as you can, of course.

Don’t be to sorry What Kary Gave. She gave an hour of patient care to her little baby sister, who was cutting teeth. She gaye a string and a crooked pin and a great deal of advice to the three-year old brother who wanted to play fishing. She gave Ellen, the maid, a precious hour to go and visit her sick baby at home, for Ellen was a widow and left her child atitsgrand-mother's while she worked togetbread for both. She could not have seen them very often if Mary bad not offered to attend the door while she went away. But this was not all that Mary gave. She dressed her self so neatly, and looked so bright and kind and obliging that she gave her mother a thrill of pleasure whenever she caught sight oftheyoung, pleasant face. She wrote a letter to her father, who was absent on business. Shegave patient attention to a long story by her grand mother, and, when it wasended.made the old lady happy by agood- night kiss. Thus she bad given valua ble presents to six people iu one day; and yet she had not a cent in the world. She was as good as gold, and shegave something of herself to all those who came in touch with her all the livelong day.—Ap ples of Gold.
