Professor KosterV scientific the ology leads, in the opinion of tuuiiy I'upti8lchanynn ii straight to spiritual anan liy. They hold that ita iiiHvit aide tendency whatever may bw the purjiofe of this (.'hicairo jn)fes5(or is to un deriiiine the foundations of reli gious fait h and to destroy an in fluence which has been lor centu ries the bases for civilization, an incalculable force in the promo, tion of rijilit li ing. The greatest catastrophe which could befall mankind would bo toshatter hu man faith in religion, in the in spiration of the Scriptures, and to substitute therefor a regime of agnosticism. Through many centuries Christianity has been the direct object of attack of ten by men of greater ability and force than the Chicago champi on of the "higher criticism" and of the "religion of humanity." Its enemies are foigotten, but Christianity remains its iuil.i enre shaping our civilization and Its teachings uow, as always, an inspiration and incentive to righ teousness, to uiiM-Kishiicss, to helpfulness, to love ol humanity. To characterize the Dibit as "the petrified remains ol the Christian religion" is an absurdity even on the part of the open and a vowed enemies ol religion. Never before in the world's history was the Bible so widely circulated, and its teachings are still t h most potent influence in mold ing character and in preserving the highest standard of right liv ing. From the avow ed agnostic oti t side the pale of any churjh the Christian religion has less to fear than from the skeptics with in its fold, who retain their con nection with the ministry and dissseniinate doctrines incompat able with belief in the inspira tion of the Scriptures. Our es teemed contemporary, the Nor folk Virginian Pilot, directed at tention recently to addresses made at the conference of the governing body and alumni of a grfat theological seminary in New York. The addresses at this gathering, by men in holy or ders, consisted mostly of as saults upou the verity of t h e Scriptures. If these skeptics with in the church believe in their own skepticism, asks our contempo rary, what ground remains to them for appealing to the public to build churches and support pulpits? Ate they not digging away the foundation on which their profession stands? This is the lay view of agnosticism in t he ministry, a form of ekepti cism more insidous and danger ous than the asanlts upon the Christian religion by the infidew who makes no concealment of his identity. Christianity has withstood the loe who attacks its citidel from without. If there is any serious menace to the Christian religion now, does it not come more from within than from without?

However, he did gie the udilrcMS of afonnerclass mate, to whom he said Dr. Stew- art might write for a verification ol his statements. This the latter did and received a prompt reply, from which the followingextracts are taken: ''I received your letter and re gret very much to learn ot the sad end of one ol the brightest students 1 ever knew. Yes. we were class-mates, but it was in the medical department Univer sity of Tennessee, class 191. His father, W. M.Vertree, M. !., was one of the founders of the school and delivered the first lec ture to the class that developed the State University, mil was professor of theory and practice w hen we took our degree. "Simon left, school and mar ried u beautiful young lady of (jiahton. She having some means and his father giving him some, they went to Florida, on the coast, and bought land, erected a home and planted an oinnge grove. They had two litt'e girls, say 2 and 4 years, when one of those tidal waves struck them. Simon got the wife and babes on an old floor and steered it for a while, when the floor was tip ped by something and they were drowned. When the water reced ed, they were close to him, dead. "That has been some twenty years ago. and he became de mented and has just wandered abont first one place and then another ever since. He would drop in here sometimes and stay a few days and be gone again. I always tried to cheer him up and picture a future for him, but to no avail. "His father filled most of the chairs in the school, and w as United States medical examiner for that section oi Tennessee for some forty vears, and died about three years ago." Women Who Are Envied.

The closing out of 'he distilleries simply meant a revolution toward a higher and hetter life for ail our people. Al most every man, woman a ii d child you now meet is interested in improved school facilities. I do not think that there is anoth er county in the State of any thing like the financial standing ol ladlMii that can equal tier m good school houses and equip t;:e:il.3. We have no v only one log school I1011-M! in the county Fight years ago more than half the school houses were log and hardly a school desk in any ru ral school house. The school piopert.v has increased in value from a little more than $:$.0)o in 1901 to 19,000 in 1909. Seventy-live per cent, of the schools have rural libraries. Local tax is taking hold of the people to a very encouraging extent; t w o elections ing been carried this spring. Just now our people are interested in the Statesviilo Air Lino Ihulroad, and we think we will gel it." This is the improved condition in Yadkin a condition that is but an earnest of what the good people of that county are going to do for the children. No man can rc-id the above brief state nient without being thankful that the school houses are ta king the place of the stills. The Newton Enterprise is of the opinion that "if Mr Bryan and his chief mouth iece in North Carolina, who are holding everybody to such strict adher ence to the Democratic platform of last year when he had such a disastrous drubbing, at the polls, had held themselves bound by the plat form of ls9J and the President we elected, there would never have been a Dingley bill: Democratic Presidents and Con gi esses would have been contin ued at Washington ami the peo ple would now Have their rights respected as to tariff duties and everything else. At that time a man was not a Democrat in their eyes who did not abuse the Pres ident we had elected and swear adegience to tin; phi' form they' proposed to make at the next convention." All of this is true. The political past ol" these readers-out is full of inconsistencies, but what does that matter? Those who would be the faithful must obey orders without ques tiou.

Success is the mailt of pjrevcr ance, and perseverance can bo made a habit just as easily as "quitting" can be. The only dif ierence l tween the two habits is that one brings success and the other ends in failure. Quitters never accomplish anything. Their habit grows so strong upon them that they become incapa ble of succeeding in anything' they undertake.
