Finnney, of Ober in said wit'i peculiar earnestness, “Tell William Day he *must preach the Gospel, cr God will kill him.” In answer to God’s call he began to preach. About ’65 he joined Jno.

Warming Notes Calling the Wicked to Repentance. LL dissipation is from the devil. Guilt has a hard pillow. Fanaticism is Faith turned sour. Whispers and runaway teams make the break ups. Pleasure soon palls when it costs nothing. A shaggy camel may bear a smooth burden. Purity opens the way to a world of gladness. I Friendship may soon die, but enmity never. A truthful child is mother’s crown of comfort. All men are fools, but only the wise stop being so. Knowledge puffs up. Wisdom lets the wind out. When you have nothing to do, never go after help. The devil never has to waste any bait to catch a loafer. On the bosom of the mother rests the future of the world. Thank God for what you are, not for what other people are. Duty and responsibility were married in the Garden of Eden. Ought I to go to the theater? Yes, if Christ will go with you. Minutes are the mosaics of time, the ages are those ofeternity. Praying is always easy, when we kneel on praying ground. 1 Trying to love, is an absurdity; love is spontaneous combustion. A “realistic” novel is an exposure— of its author’s itching palm. Christmas is man’s “Declaration of Independence” of the devil. Adversity gives the great man a chance to show how great he is. The best thing to do with your trou bles is to introduce them to your bless ings. He who robs under the shelter of law, is the most daring and cowardly thief of the day. The temperance cause will go on crutches, until the church closets are cleared of jugs. T’*i life of the Christian who does not love'll is Bible, is never marked by close resemblance to Christ. The polychromatic Bible of the High er Criticism is admirably adapted to meet the wants—of the Higher Critics. Every Sunday is a link of gold in,the chain of time. A blessed eternity is an endless chain, and all of its links are those of gold.

The course that shoul</ be pursued by us, ought to be the one that will win the respect, confidence and real support, of the majority of the white race. Our freedom was largely brought about by the aid of white friends. Our educational and and re ligious progress was are largely du^ to white friends. We have among us many men who pose as leaders that do a great deal of talkingin defense of the raoe; but jtheir talk does not remedy the evil. What we need now is a remedy, and those who can bring the remedy to us, to stop the injustice that is continually being heaped upon us, are the people we need, white or colored. —The Christian Banner. Booker Washington Speaks. The new domestic science building at the Hampton (Vh.) Normal and Agri cultural Institute, was formally opened on the 21st. The ceremonies were wit nessed bv a large crowd, including sev eral distingushed persons from New York and other Northern cities. Hon. J. L. M. Curry, former Spanish min ister, delivered the principal address. Mr. St. Clair McKelway, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle; Mr. R. C. Ogden and Mr. D. Willis James, of New York, also spoke. After the benediction was pro nounced by Bishop MoVicker, of Ver mont, the visitors repaired to the gym nasium, where the thirtieth anniversary of the institute was celebrated. Booker T. Washington, principal of the Tuske geo Normal School, was the principal Rpeaker. His address was devoted to a review of educational work among the Negroes. Very True, Indeed. One of the strangest things in our minds is that nine-tenths of the-mem bership of the Industrial Insurance companies and Sick Benefit societies are colored people, and still the white men who have grown enormously rich and are daily growing richer off of the negro’s patronage, do not respect their negro supporters enough to employ a colored doctor to attend the colored siok of the order. The negro iB known only on Monday morning, when they have a little money. Without negro membership many white collectors, agents and managers would, like thou sands of colored men, have to pick and shovel for their daily bread. —Chatta nooga Blade. Great Faith in the Negro. The school authorities of Columbia, S. C., evidently have great faith in the Negro school teacher, in his ability to impart more knowledge than the aver age white teacher and to agreater num ber, judging from the faot that there, has been enrolled there for the last year 2,807 children, daily attendance 800 whites and 875 colored. The white pupils required 21 teachers, while the number of colored children only re quired 14 teachers.—The Standard. Colored Labor Being Recognized. The Norfolk and Western Railroad has found that the colored man’sability to do good work and to render satisfac tory service in what he is assigned to do stands “second to none” and of late have seen fit to place colored men as firemen on their westernfdivision. They have a number of colored men occupy ing prominent places in other depart ments of their employment. —The Standard. Was a Slave in North Carolina. Providence, R. L, has a colored man by the name of Richard Grant, who was in his younger days a slave in North Carolina. He began life in Providence as a day laborer. He now owns and con trols the street sprinkling business of that city, having five wagons made for that special work. —The .Freeman. Our Second Cotton Mill. The Elmwood, S. C., cotton mill di rectors have purchased a site for the colored cotton mill and awarded con tracts for the building and machinery. In a few months the second colored cotton factory in the world will be in full blast. —The Freeman. Only One In the Country. It is said that there is only one col ored man in this country to whom thi United States has granted a medal a honor for distinguishing himself asi brave man during the war. That is John H. Lawson, of Pennsylvan* —The Appeal. Remember This. Higher education and intelligence command the respect of all, white and black, rich and poor. So, when we lose an opportunity of an education we' lose one of greater importance thaif many realize. Deceitful Habits. If there is any one thing more than another for which the Negro was, andi even now is cursed, more than othe races it is for deceitful habits and ba ingratitude to one another. —The ” former.
