HISTORY AND WORD OF MISSION HOSPITAL In pursuance of the Gazette's propos al to presemt weekly to its readers an account of the charitable and. correc tional institutions of Buncombe county, we . today lay (before them a brief re sume of that most justly popular of them all THE MISSION HOSPITAL.. Lest objection be made that this is a private and not a county institution, it may be stated that it is both. Private in. that its support has in a very large measure come- from, individuals, who by their liberal and continued contri butions, have made it possible, and county, in that for some years the com missioners have appropriated to it a small sum from the ceunty treasury at irregular intervals. "When we use the term "private," however, let it be un derstood clearly,- we do " not mean that in any way its management has been shielded from the most free public ex amination and criticism. The board of visitors for this county, appointed by our State Board of Charities, have never failed to make a thorough inspection of every department and to report fully their findings to their principals, and the results can be seen at any time by reading the annual returns of the State board. ITS HISTORY. endowment, its income to be used in maintaining a free bed, for the treat ment of such persons as are not abe to pay for themselves. While these two gifts, aggregating $5,500, are the largest cash contribu tions of any one person, others have been made which are well worthy of grateful mention. Among these we note the large addition recently made to the building at a cost approximating $5,000, largely increasing both the com fort and efficiency. Another was the providing amd furnishing of an operat ing room, which we deem to be equal in its arrangements and equipment of any in the south. For the reasons given above we do not hesitate to place the Mission Hospi tal very high on the list of our county's institutions, and we express the hope universally entertained that it will long prosper and continue to do the good work it has undertaken. .

Out of a great many minerals, this state furnishes a few varieties of really beautiful stones, in such quantity as to add appreciably to its marketable resources. The material for this article, or rather the inspiration for it, is all obtained from the well known Asheville jewelry firm, the Ar thur M. Field Co. The finest specimen of all the stones mentioned herein are to be found at this firm's store, where they are cut and mounted to suit the purchaser. Mr. Field is at present making rather a specialty of what may be called developing the ornamental possibilities of the native gems, and it is gratifying to note the success his efforts in this direction are meeting GALVESTON GETS LARGE OCEAN FREIGHT BUSINESS New York, Jug. 2 There sailed from this port for Galveston today a steam er the departure of which means much meet to the future welfare and comimercial their expenses for one month.

It has come to stay for Christ said "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but mv words shall never pass away." Space will not permit to write all the good things mentioned by Christ and his followers on this subject. Christ pray ed Jor it. "Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one as we are." Paul 'writing of those "who had put on Christ wrote, VThere is neither Jew nor Greek; there is neither 'bond nc-r free, there is neither male nor female, for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." Gal. 3, 28. "I pray you leave any name alone, and do not call yourselves Luth erans, but Christians. Who is Luther? My doctrine is not mine. I was not crucified for anyone. Paul would not that any should call themselves of Paul,nor of Peter, but of Christ. How then, does it benefit me, a miserable bag of the dust and ashes to give my name to the children of Christ? Cease to cling to these party names and distinctions. Away with them all, and let us call ourselves Christians, after him from whom our doctrine comes." (Martin Luther.) "Would God that all party names and unscriptural phrases and forma which have divided the Christian world were forgotton, and that we, as hum ble, loving disciples might sit down at the Master's feet, read hie holy words, imbibe his spirit and transcribe his life into our own! (Wesley.) "A Christian, therefore, is the high est character which any human being can bear on earth, and to receive it from God, as those appear to have done how glorious the title! How few of those who profess this religion are sat isfied with this title. It is a title sel dom heard of. When all return to the spirit of the Gospel they will probably resume the appellation of Christian."" (Adam Clarke.) The writer is sorry to limit such men as Albert Barnes, Baxter, Jos. Parker and a host of others, speaking of the name Christian. "It is a bond to unite in one family all those who love the Lord Jesus' (Barnes) "Roman Catholics, Protestants, Epis copalians, Congregationalists, Presbyte rians what are they and how have they come to have any existance at all, es pecially any honor as names? Bid Christ ever use them? The one name we ought to have is Christian." (Par ker.) "I am a Christian a mere Christian of no other religion. My church is the Christian church." (Baxter.)
