Saints and sinners, bear the message, Which the Gospel heralds bring, That we all mast go to judgment; When the roll is called again. < Jesus robed in glorious splendor, - ^Tended by a dazzling train, .Every eye shall then behold him, When the roll is called again. Hear the mat arch angers trumpet, Sound o’er ocean, hill and dale, j airing all the sleeping nation’s When the roll 'is called again. the universe assembled, On the vide extended plain, Facing there the great tribunal - When the roil is called again. See the righteous, once despised, Called to honor, called to reign, Called to enter int> glory, When the roll is called again. See pw»r sinners now lamenting, Fined with terror, filled with shame Sink beneath G *d’s wrath forever, When the roll is called again. Brother, sister, grow not weary Though you have much toil and pain, You shall have a crown of glory When the roll is called again. —From the Harp of Zion, now being compiled by Rex. B.

We had the pleasure of having with us Miss G. C Hood and Prof E Moore, and were highly entertained by the addresses delivered by Prof. Moore, one in the morning sad one iiUbe evening. Prot Moore is an able scholar and an eloquentapeaker y all who failed to bear him missed a fine treat. We areglad to note the great increase of interest this year in Childrens Day over * previous yean Last year we only raised about $4 00, but this year we have the pleasure of offering to Livingstone College $12 45 We are rising. I think there has been more good done on oar circuit since Rev R. A. Morrisej has had . charge of it than any previous pastoiy The people are being worked up to a ore intelligent staodacd, and we even hope to do more in the future & Pray for us. mm OBITUARY AND RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT. The committee appointed by the Asheville Ministerial Union to pie pare a program and a suitable expres aion of the high esteem in which their beloved friend, Elder Commodore Perry Letcher, was held, who depart . ed this life April 4th >890, in the 72 years, 2 months and 15 days of hu age. He was highly respected by those who knew him, and the sense of the loss sustained by the church of which he was a member. The com mittee recommends that the following minutes be entered upon the records ol the church book: Jn the demise of our dear brother, the Rev Commodore Perry Letcher, , who was in the ministry over 40 years and principally in the A M. E. Zion connection, ana had filled the office of Elder with marked acceptance and untiring assiduity, we recognize another act of the impressive Provi deuce which so constantly reminds us that in the midst of life we are in death. Whil» in the happy assurance with which we follow to the rest above, fresh inspiration is given for til the zeal we can manifest in making known the blessed Gospel of peace and hope. Resolved, That we tender bis afflict ed wife and friends an apsurfnee of our heartfelt sympathy, with the hope that they may richly reap the conso lation he so often ministered to others and commending them to Him who is i Father of mercies and the God of ■ comfort.- ■ V* .J* E.

It was explosively their day, and the big children had as good a tijme as the little ones. Never was the church so handsomely deco, rated, the display of flowers/ and plants being elaborate and beautilul. I know of no church in Zion that intakes such elaborate preparation. says: Wesley Union ehurcb, South Street, yesterday held the most sue .c$esf«l Children’s Day exercises that it- has ever witnessed, and the church was crowded to the streets with an enthusiastic audience. The program was conducted by the superintendent, J. P. Scott, and each dumber marked attention. Oyer the pulpit platform a double arch, extending diagonally* was erected and&am th©- intersection Pople, Bertha Lewis and Cal Pople waa of the highest order. All were pleased with the Recitations of Laura Lewis, Jeunie Jones, AJfpe Sophas, Bella Jones, Bessie Nichil son, Bertha Madison, Jennie Bey nolds. Charles White,” Alice Davis, William Jones,. Georgia Williams, Bessie Willis and Maggie Moss. The collection, which was taken up, is to be applied to the support of Liv ingstone College, the institution of learning of the A. M. E. Zion con on. Altogether it was a “Bed Letter in. Old Zion-—a day whose ....._sounds still linger on the ear and whose perfumes continue to de light the senses. f Bev. J. H. White of the New Jer sey conference is a progressive man. Not only is he teaching Phbnograhy, but he has tastefully arranged a Bit ual Service for the use of the congre gations of Zion, Which he is selling very cheap. I was always opposed to this form of worship until 1 saw it in Dr Manly’s church'in Peters £ VaV, last fall. When I saw the* whole congregation taking-part in the scripture lesson*anH'singSgr^a^d saw the grand spiritual impression produced, making it much easier for the minister to preach, when I .the testa khd heard rthe shouts hind amWgomgj,p befcr, t* *** was, commenced, my prejudice wm instantly gone, and from that mb ' to thisl say; j»ive me Bith&t all the-time/ Brethren, you' find H a great help to yob in eon g public worship. You most step in the afternoob of this and an intelligent form of worship, If you are tod6 lazy* to make your self strong; inteUeetu&lly and spirit ually,by hard study and the grace of God, and': are too. narrow-minded and prejudiced to induct services agreeably yet intelligently, the char ches that know you now will soon know you no more, forever. You keep “hanging back,” and you will wake up som morning and find your seif on either the supernumerary or superannuated list. Keep looked up with the times and trust God, and you are safe. This Bitual Service is fast finding its way in all the de nominations of Jesus Christ. A great many Zion churches are using use it. it now; I am preparing to I believe the next general conference will adopt it. Bro. White is selling them in interest of our Booh Concern. Write to him and see what they - cost a hundred and lift a public collection and get as many as you wfcnt. ■ :/' Here is his address. Rbv. J. H. White, 53 Montgomery, St., Paterson, N. j.
