Hold him in full survey.,” He has the smiles of Jehovah, the ministrations of angels, the prayero of the Church. Jesus has gone before to lead the way, and prepare a place «Jor him; and He is to be contemplated at every step. The truth taught us in this passage is, that the anticipation of joy supported the Saviour in the endurance of suffering. Let us view him in His severe conflict. “Who endured the Cross ” The dignity He possessed. When we refer to the Saviour in the scenes of His humiliations, we must never lose sight of His pre-existent glory and His unrivalled excellences. The splendor ofH^s Godhead was for a time en shrined in the veil of His manhood; the world could see in Him no more than a man, but the eye of faith beheld His glory. The degradation He endured. “The Cross.” This w*s a death attended with the most excruciating pain, and connect ed with ignominy, shame and reproach. But what was the pain of body felt on the Cross, compared with the anguish of soul inflicted by the curse ? The design He had in view. He suf fered to make atonement for sin, to rec oncile us unto God, and that He might finally bring us> to everlasting glory. Let it be our humble and hearty desire, that these high and important ends lhay be accomplished in us, and that we may be ever loooking unto Jesus. Sag Harbor, N. T. NASHVILLE MISSION. BY REV. T; J. MANSON, P. E. I came here on\the 7th inat. and have made thorough canvass of the city. It it safe to say that there is no city where there is more hopeful out look for Zion and where ahe could accomplish a greater work than Nash ville, TenD. Had we some missionary money for this mission, we could do much good. Four years ago I spent $80 of my own money. I have net got it at this time. • If so I would spend it again. We have 42 members in East Nashville huddled in a very small room. In West Nashville, I have found 25 members with no place at all, and in South Nashville, another place that was started, we have 12 members, with no place to worship in. There are some as strong Zionites in this city as ever lived. On my visit around on yesterday I found some who said that if we never got a church and they died in this city, they wanted a Zion preacher to preach their funeral. There are two places that can be bought right in the heart of the city, for nine or ten hundred dollars. We have a lot that has been bought at the cost of $250—$50 of which has been paid. This lot is located on Sycamore Street, in East Nashville, and is 50 feet front, by 177. The remaining notes are 25 dollars each at 6 per cent interest. The gentle man of whom the lot was bought informs me that if we will pay the anterest up to date he will give us Iwelve months time to build, before making another payment. Rev. Aaron Jones is in charge of this little mission and is highly esteemed by the people, all of which I have de scribed fully to my presiding Bishop, G. W. Clinton, D. D., by letter, would rent two places at once if I had the money to fit them up for use. We have a number of Zion members here who tell me that they will come home. But that depends upon—you now what! There is room in this for five times as many churches ire are here. The people are Jthe thousands. I shall be twelve days longer. Help ihville. ?* St, Nashville, Tenn. ITS SUFFERING. A. L. TEICE.

He significantly speaks]of the let.rn ing of his bishops. Oar bishops are just aqlearned. Only thrte of tlieir presenjt bishops have attended coll age. I am also acquainted with the leading A. M. E. preachers in this country. Boil/ our episcopacy and ministry can measure arms with them and tieir episi opacy intellectually. Down here in A rkansas, Bethels have only three presiding elders out of fifteen who can’write grammatically. They are Revs. P. W. Wade, H. H. King and A. A. Williams. Writing is all that the last named man can do. God is my judge, and I declare that some of tbeir men down here could not pr iach a frog in and out of the water. Bethel has nothing to entice Zion to knock and join her. They have wealth, education, schools and col leges, newspapers, Publishing House and a half million members So have we. Ha ! Ha ! Blush, where is thy shame ? . - ! The truth, Brother Snelson, is, the preachers and people are getting their eyes open in Bethel and are co ning to Zion. They are coming where the bishops are fatherly and are not iuto cratic. They are tired of being driv en. Brother SnelBon, did you read Rev. Lee’s letter in the-Star eon e time ago in which he saicf your biiihops are not visiting the circuits liko the Zion bishops? At a meeting last May in Little Rock, Arkansas, Bishop Derrick said, “I am not going to visit your churches. Don’t look for me to do it. Do you hear? If Holliday visits his, I won’t. I am a New York, er and will only come to hold confer ences.” Rev. Snelson is mistaken oi< the union. The B. M. E. Church did not seek union with the A. M. E. Church. It was Bishop Turner’s resolution in St. Louis in 1880. I was one of the committee that went to Ct.nada in September in 1880 after the B. M E. Church. We got the bishopti and about half the others said they did not care to come and be Africans. I have more for neit time. Morrell, Ark. ON THE WING. BY REV. A. MCIVER. March 5th I boarded the. train for Winston, N. 0., to assist Rev. A. Me Lees in his revival. My trip was pleasant and I hope profitable. I la bored with Rev. McLeeB eight days and 45 persons were added to the church. We had powerfhl meetings. This good man of God is in the right place. He carries a great crowd of people and all love him. The church is too small to accommodate the crowds. ’ Rev# McLees has Winston in his hands. The church is in a prosper ous condition. He is a fine minister with a big heart. It is his pleasure to have ministers come and preach for him. The last night I preached for him room could not be found for all the people. Rev. McLees will soon come to my city to preach, and, God willing, we will give him a crowd. Rev. Henry Durham is a fine young man and a good preacher. He is doing a prosperous business. I* visited Prof. S. G. Atkins anc. he is doing a grand work on the e duca tional line. Success to him. I desire to extend congratulations on the success of the Star. You are giving a fine reading paper. 4 I am getting along nicely at New ton. The work is prosperous, and the.people arp kind. Newton, N. C. MY. DISTRICT. SUTTON.

In , 1872 she was happily converted to God. Her life as a Christian was that of con stant devotion to her Saviour’s „service. She was greatly beloved by all the peo ple who knew her.

He loved and worked for the Church, of his choice. He always had his presiding elder’s money when he came around. It was his request that the choir sing “Shrink ing from the cold hand of death.” His funeral was the largest ever witnessed in this church.—Rev- H. F. Martin, Van Vyck, S. C. “WEH DOWN SOUF.” This volume of poems from the pen of a mind endowed of God with rich fan cy, which has been fertilized by 1 beral culture, patient industry, and that tact which makes most of opportunities, is presented to the public as an illustration of the dialect of a part of the Negro race whose ancestry was nearer Africa than the class represented in agi and opportunity by the writer of them. They are tradition and history in di alect They show the power, continuity and tenacity of a race under circumstances themoBt adverse and the most untoward. In these poems the author has faith fully preserved the dialect and some thi e folklore of the Negro Air d shows to the world that to-day the muses, like the gods o past ages, delight to disport themselves among the gentle Ethiopians, i The book is a handsome'one, with its clear type, good paper, excellent press work\J ppropriate pictures, and strik ing c ve; design.

NEW OCCUPATION FOR WOMEN. Breeding of Angora Cats Presents Financial Possibilities for Women. “It is the general opinion of cat fan ciers that the culture of Angoras Is an occupation which any young woman with a fondness for pets and a little of the commercial Instinct may pursue with profit as well as pleasure. It is an occupation in which success does not depend upon a special talent. One can not succeed in literature, music, the arts, or in teaching; without a course of training and an inborn adaptability, but the rearing of cats calls for no mental preparation, or for any rare power in any particular direction. Cap ital, however, is necessary. Angora cats bring a good price, and it will cost something to establish a kennel. The amount will depend upon the magni tude of the beginning. One may ex pend a hundred dollars and secure, per haps, three choice thoroughbred adults, or at an outlay of twenty-five dollars, or thereabouts, one may purchase a male and a .female kitten and rear them herself. The fitting up a suitable ken nel need not cost much, but there are •Important points in the construction and care of the kennel which should not be neglected, and which any owner of Angoras is always ready to explain. The essentials for a successful Angora" kennel are not elaborate. Most im portant is an ample outdoor runway, made of woven wire, with a roof of the same material. This should connect with a cozy house or dormitory. Both apartments should be provided with elevated shelves, as the cats like to sleep as far .from the ground as possi ble. They also enjoy the exercise of jumping up to and down from their elevated perches. Fresh grass and pure milk are absolute necessities. The An gora has been a much-slandered ani mal. The general public believes it to be delicate in physique and surly and treacherous in disposition. This is as fax from the truth as is possible. They are almost uniformly amiable and af fectionate In disposition, and possess hardy and vigorous constitutions. They are full of interesting eccentricities, however.”—Forest Crissey, in Woman’s Home Companion. A new refrigerator car which freezes without ice promises to be one of the advance steps in fruit transportation. The new car is provided with a chemi cal refrigerating machine which is geared to the axle of the car. The in ventor claims that with his machine in use the air in the car is cold and dry and that even during long stops when the machine is not running, no de terioration of the fruit in transit can ocour, on account of the dryness of the air. It is claimed the new system has been thoroughly tested and as a result a new refrigerator-car line is proposed. NE6R0 STARS.
