A Synopsis of the Sunday Morning Sermon in St. Stephen Epis copal Church, by Rev. Stewart McQueen, Rector. Subject: "The Christian training of Children." Study this scene. It is in far distant Egypt, It is centuries ago. An Egyp tian Princess walks along the banks of the Nile. In a tiny rush boat is dis covered the form of a little child. It was Moses destined to become the di vinely chosen leader of a mighty peo ple. He was born in bondage, the son of a Hebrew slave, and doomed to per ish. A strange thing now takes place. By no act, no knowledge of his own, he is Instantly lifted u his floating cra dle not only into liberty but into roy alty itself; for the princess bids her at tendants: "Take this whild away and nurse it for me. ' Does not this suggest what takes place at the foil t in the baptism of your own little ones? You see there a simi lar instance, of an "equally sudden change. It in a change maile in the entire condition and future of a mere infant. You may ask: "How can an outward action, a mere ceremony, like baptism with water,-ttfect the real course of a life?" It can do so, just as by one gesture of her arm and one com mand from her lips the Egyptian prin ess did in fact lilt the new-born infant coss from the slave hut to a life in Kings' courts. In Baptism no miraculous transfor mation is wrought No such . claim is made for it. But the child is placed in a new relation. He was born into the world of bond-children, vduful by the first birth or generation. He is born again, so the Saviour says, "of water and of the spirit"' by the second birth or regeneration. He enters the cove nant of Redemption. He enters into Christ's Spiritual Household. Realize also this fact. It should come to parents with awful force. It is vital, inlinite, eternal in meaning.1 The fact is this: in the act of Baptism there is absolutely nothing which insures the child immortal safety. If he chooses he can go back again into bondage. His willis free. What has been done, is to make him a child of God, a mem ber of Christ, an inheritor of the King dom of Heaven. But he can reject his inheritance if he so wills. He can re fuse to confirm his baptismal blessing. Hence comes the transcendent neces sity of Christian training. 'Xhe Church with loving care has taken your child into her arms. By the command and authority of her Lord she sets her seal of religious adoption ujnm . him. She hen tenderly places him back into tyour a-ms, his earthly father ai.i mustier, his God-appointed trainers ind educators, and charges you, "Take this child away and nurse it for me." Nurse it, train it for Christ and immor tality. The only question, "How shall "thfs be done? Will it be done by deluding yourselves with the idea that your chil dren are better than other people's children, and therefore they cannot go far wrong? Ah, no! Your children, my brothers, are just as liable to do wrong as those of others, becanso they are human' flsh and blood. Will it bo done by resting content in some vague, visionary dream about blood and lam ily? There is something in blood, of course. By blood I mean heredity. If a child's parents for "a number of generations have been honorable and God-fearing it establishes in a child a- predisposition towards the same line of conduct. But it needs to be cultivated, developed, trained, just as much, as a plant requires sunshine and air, however rich tne soil, Noth ing in this world whether pride, wealth or education, can take the place of christian Training. Nothing can keep a man safe in the presence of tempta tion except -principle, and, moreover, principle which has been strengthened and developed by Christian Training in childhood. 1 say to you, love your children, not selfishly and weakly, but in the highest sense and for the highest purposes. Look to the child's spiritual welface. Tou are to train it not by wO"d oly,. but by actions, by examples. You must, create) an atmosphere of Faith and Holiness in your homes and daily lives The greatest principle in the Chris tian Training of children is this: The unconscious part of education, especi ally of the education of the soul, is always probably the most important part, yet the least considered. In other words, what we are tells more on a child, in the long run, than what we say. Every father and mother is not only either for Christ or against Him in the house, but they are perpetually, in. evitab'y, helping to set out and enlist their offspring for Him or against Him." Take heed how you regard your chil dren merely as companions lot- this, mortal life only. Beware how you treat them as simply playthings when they are amiable or as nuisances whan they are fretful. Take heed kow yoai coax or threaten them into submission, merely because they disturb your com fort. Take heed how you punish them in blind anger when they offend or diobey you. Tell your child he is a member of the living Body of Christ. Tell him that being a branch on the Vine he is to grow and bear fruit by all Christian nurture, by Bible and. counsel, by watchfulness and worship. Thus will he advance from honor to honor, from strength to strength and. finally pass through the grave and. gate of death triumphantly to a joyful Resurrection. This will be the fulfill ment of your charge, 'Take this child away and nurse it forme.' This will be the everlasting reward of your labor of love and duty faithfully done. Durham Globe: Mr. G. M.

The Goldsboro daily Argus, of Tuesday, says the following in an announcement with respect to a change in the ownership and management of that paper: "With this issue The Argus, it entire plant, circulation and good wil become the propert y of Thk A ROUS PublishingCompany, which when duly organized, and with Mr. Jos. E. Rob inson as president and Mr. Walter A. Bonitz, as secretary and treasurer, will conduct The Argus and a general printing business in this city. "Under the new regime The Argus will be edited, as heretofore, by Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Bonitz will be its business manager, as also cf the ex tensive job printing department of the paper. "In coming into the newspaper work in Goldsboro Mr. Bonitz needs no in troduction to our people or to news paper readers throughout the State, other than the simple announcement of who he is for Goldsboro is the home of his nativity, and in his chosen pro fession he is, indeed, "to the manner born, " being the son of the late la mented J ulius A. Bonitz, founder and editor of the old Goldsboro Alt-ssenyer, which built up here under his manage ment tiie largest circulation of any newspaper in North Carolina, and in building itself up built up Goldsboro, as well, infusine into her as she crew. and leaving her as a rich legacy, that spirit oi intrepid enterprise and neroic enduranc that has marked her proud progress and sustained her In dire ricissitudes the same that character ized him through life, carving success in the face of adversity and causing mm to rise superior to. every emer gency." The M ssnger. is pleased to welcome Mr. Bonitz into the journalistic field and bespeaks tor him and Mr. Kobmson the fullest fruition of their plans. Mr. Bonitz, who is the son of the founder of the daily Messenger, is young and lull of pluck and energy, and no doubt will be a valuable acquisi tion toTHE Argus Mr. Robinson has edited and published The Argus for the past ten years and by means of his perseverance and conspicuous talents has given troldsboro a daily paper that would be a credit to a much larger city than Goldsboro. As a writer he has kept abreast of the times and that his ability and manliness in the conduct of the paper has met with appreciation -is shown by the confidence and support of the intelligent and substantial constituency within the limits of its field. At all times the paper has been u n swerving in allegiance to t Democratic party and its pr ciples, and the editor in his an nouncement of the change in the auspices of the publication, gives it out that our esteemed contem porary will continue to fly the flag of good old Democracy, and stand steadfast by the policies of the party and its administration. The editor also takes occasion to say this; "It will be the ambition of the new management but no new ambition of The Argus to build the paper up in to a truly great newspaper; and this should be the common ambition of the community, causing every citizen to give the enterprise the fullest' possible measure of patronage and personal en couragement, of which it shall ever be our purpose to make the paper worthy, and without which we cannot accom plish only in proportion those achievements for the welfare and pros perityof our oity and section we so earn estly desire, and, at this time, so con fidently expect. ' ' We note this utterance to say that if the citizens of our towns and cities were half as ambitious and progressive as the editors of our papers show themselves to be, they would" stand by their papers and enable the newspaper toilers to realize their ambitions, thus establishing in the comuni ties what is acknowleged to be the most powerful factor for their development a prosper ous and substantial newspaper. The Messenger's best wishes are with Messrs. Robinson and Bonitz in their -publication of The Argus. Wilmington Messen ger.

An old Wayne County Boy writes of His Recollections of many of our Prominent Citizens lie Still Keeps the Faith. Hahira, Ga., Dec. 17. Editor Argus: If you allow me space in your paper I will make myself known to you, and my whereabouts known to many of my old friends of the grand old county of Wayne. Several months ago The Argus mysteriously found its way to our Southern home and I suppose by the direction of a friend. I thought at first some one had sent me only a copy for the purpose of giving me infor mation of some home occurrence; I am proud to say that it has been a regular weekly visitor ever since, therefore, I feel it my duty to correspond with my friend who so kindly treated me with The Argus, and if he will make himself known to me I will only be pleased to send him the subscription price and also thank him for presenting me with the valuable paper. I was born in Wayne county, and remained there until I was 21 years of age. About this time my father sold his farm (which was located about two miles west of Pikeville,) and moved to Wilson county. I spent about 3 years with him there, after which 1 went to Cumberland county, North Car olina, and married, there and spent three years farming on the sand hills. Being disgusted at the price of cotton and the gen eral prospects for farmers, I de cided, to come South and put my attention to turpentine. This I have enjoyed very much and have made support in it and been wonderfully blessed with health, i with the exception of one year we spent in Florida. We were there surrounded by beau tiful lakes and the country pre sented all appearance of pure at mosphere and health, but through the summer we were visited by the old time chills and fever, but we are now living in a very healthy country, the peo ple being well informed and morally, religiously and politi cally, they are all right, with the exception of some few Third partyites. But they are very few, and I thirk they are becom ing very lonesome. The Third p- rty may do in some parts of tne world, but it will never do for the South. I had many old school and play-mates who are now, if living, voters and sup porters of the Government. They were bright-minded boys and could then exercise good judgment. There were the Perkins boys and the Berger boys, the Smiths, the Hooks', the Scotts, the Edgertons and a good many olhers that I can't think of now. W. L. Pike was also a special friend of mine. Boys, what are you doing at the old home now? It looks from the result of your county ticket that you ere still protecting the grand old party. We need more counties like Wayne. Wayne has some broad-minded boys. There is Charley Aycock, for instance. I went to school to him when he was about 17 years old. He and I were about the same age. Would to God I could have grown in knowledge and wisdom as he has! , But good-bye, Charley; you have become to be a statesman and.I a woodsman on a turpentine farm, and I will no more hear your school bell ring. Go forward in the defence of your country and be a man, as you have ever been, and your life will be well spent and for a good cause! I could not vote for you, but I yoted for a good man down here on the grand old Democratic ticket and we won the battle. I saw where B. F. Scott was elected sheriff. I always knew "Brittf' -would do something if you would let him. I was in hopes W. L. Pike would be Register of Deeds, but I suppose you have a good man in the office. That is right, boys, come to the front. Boys, I would be glad to go home and see you all again, but I know it would not seem like horn now and if I never see you again you may "bet your bottom dollar" that I am not a Third partyite, and don't raise those kind of children. God be with you 'till we meet again.. J. W. Coglier.

T A LONG TAIL OUR CAT'S GOT. Marion Butler Airs Himself in Washington, It is BiR I and Am bitious Me It was ever so with Butler: He fears an anti-combination and takes occasion to threat en What he will do two Years Hence if They do him in the com ing Legislature. He Predicts a Change of Goldsboro's Municipal Government, but has to Admit that the city is Solidly Democratic in Spite of the Worst that may he Marion Butler says: "I came here to consult with the execu tive committee of the National Alliance, this being the most cen tral point. We are making ar rangements for the meeting of the National Alliance the first Tuesday of February in Raleigh and also for the dedication on Thursday of that week of the Polk monument at Raleigh. It being the first time the Alliance has met east of the Mississippi, it is expected there will be a large attendance. Having made the arrangements, I return home this afternoon." Mr. Butler was asked a num ber of questions respecting poli tics in North Carolina. His re plies were deliberate and well considered. He appears not to s aek or shun publicity of his views on the senatorship. I-Ie had to be drawn out slowly and carefully, but his answers were apparently as frank as they were full. On the county government question he was much less in fact not very communicative. City gov ernment he discussed with re serve, but with sufficient posi- tiveness. The following is the substance of what he told me, presented connectedly by omit ting my questions: "The earliest, or at any rate one of the earliest, matters to be decided in caucus by the majority of the Legislature will be the election of Senators. While it is not settled whether there will be a joint caucus of both parties or a separate caucus for each party, composing the fusion movement, I think there will be only one caucus. As to my elec tion to the long term, elections can't always be predicted." Here he smiled a shrewd smile and proceeded, after further ques tioning. "The Republican leaders are honorable and have the in terest of their party at heart. They are men of strong sense as well as principle and the report that they would make overtures to or receive overtures from the Democrats to elect two Republi cans is foolish on its face. It would be singular weakness on the part of both parties. The Democratic leaders are the very ablest men I have ever fought. They could not afford for tem porary revenge, supposing it possible for the Republicans to consent, to enter into any such arrangement. It would destroy their future and that - of their party. I would want nothing better than for them to carry out such a programme. Two years from now it would give me an ir resistible advantage. "But the Republicans are not going to accept, nor are the Dem ocrats going to proffer, such a coalition. 1 can t say between Pritchard, Mott, Holton, Russell and Dockery who will be chosen for the other senatorship. No two men centre the control be tween themselves." Mr. Butler was proof against sallies, of information as to what others had said, ventured by the interviewer for the purpose of eliciting further information as to the respective strength of each of these five candidates. It was clear that he considered himself safe for the long term and the fusion was not at all imperilled on the senatorship. 4 'As to the county governments nothing is decided as yet. There will be full conference, however. There is a very strong feeling in the west, embracing most of the Democrats, perhaps, in favor of popular elections. The Action of the county commissiners in the matter of bonds has strengthened the desire for magistrates elect ed by the people.

Interesting Extracts from Advance Sheets of Mr. Shepperson's Book for the Seasons of 189:-'94. The annexed interesting ex tracts a;e from advance sheets of Mr. Alfred B. Shepperson's cotton book entitled "Cotton Pacts and Figures, " for the sea son of 1893-94, which is now in press: The American crop of 1891-95, which is being crowded into sight and upon the markets of the couatry in such an enormous volume, is undoubtedly a very large one, and perhaps larger than any previous -crop. The weather conditions have gener ally been favorable throughout the season, and especially so dur ing the time for maturing and picking the crop. Early circu lation of extravagantly large es timates of the crop followed by a rapid decline in prices caused in many planters an anxiety to market their cotton quickly, which some of my correspond ents have described as an un precedent "craze to sell," While the extremely low price of cot ton has required about double the usual quantity to pay the same amount of indebtedness, it must be remembered that very smaller advances than customary were made upon the crop. The early marketing of so large a quantity of cotton is therefore chiefly due, in my opinion, to the fact that the farmers, believing the crop to be a very large one and fearful of lower prices, have rushed their cotton into market, thus creating the enormous movement and causing the de cline in prices which they sought to escape. Opinions differ as largely as usual as to the size of the crop, but fewer estimates have been published than last year. To December 4th, there had ceme into sight, 1,200,000 bales more than to corresponding date last year and 238,000 bales more than in 1891 (when the commer cial crop was 9,018,000 bales.) Should the movement hereafter equal that of i891-'92, (and it is well to bear in mind that about 500,000 bales of old cotton "vvas marketed -with that crop, whereas there was very little old cotton with the planters at the beginning of this season) then the present crop would be about $2, 596, 000 bales. It will thus be seen that a re view of the previous crops does not afford encouregement for the expectation of a crop of over 9,500.000 bales, if all marketed, while it might readily turn out to be 500,000 bales less. In this connection it should ..be consid ered that the crop having been raised upon very limited ad vances, many planters, and es pecially these in good circum- stauces are well able to hold back from market a larger quan tity of cotton than usual, if they were disposed to do so. Hav ing paid all of their debts and purchased their most needful supplies, it is a question whether the low price may not cause the holding back from the present commercial crop of at least 5Q0;t00 bales of cotton. This problem makes all crop es timates more than ever guesses, for no man can tell what the planters will do with this large surplus. It is a question which, as 1 take it, few of the planters themselves have yet decided, and their decision will depend upon what the prices are later on. If prices advance materially in the spring, it is evident to me that a much larger proportion of the surplus, and perhans all of it. will be marketed during the spring and summer. It may be noted that the aver age of the estimates on the crop of November 26th by 131 mem bers of the New York Cotton Exchange is 9,249,838 bales. Though the cotton which has come into sight is 1,200,000 bales more than for the correspond ing time last year, it is to be noted that the visible supply of cotton (of all kind) is only 90, 000 bales greater than a year ago, while the stocks in the mar kets of this country are only 94,000 bales in excess of same date last year.

Governments have no future state no eternity; they are, therefore, judged in this world and rise and prosper or totter and fall in accordance with the ' 'eternal fitness" of all mundane affairs: tin accordance with the equity of their laws and the jus ness with which they are admin istered; but the individuals who form communities, and build up governments and constitute the passing generations, are per sonally responsible before the Tribunal of Eternity for their individual obligations in the for mation of governments, in the making of laws, in the observ ance of their duties as citizens, and for their moral example to the rising generation. It is well at this time of the passing year this last Sunday cf the "old year," in the quiet hours of God-commanded rest, to reckon back over the vanished days and weeks and months, and take note of what record they have borne into the archives of time to stand against us or for us in the judgment of eternity: whether in that great day they shall come as hideous skeletons from the sepulchre of the past causing us to "cry out for the rocks to fall upon us," or whether they shall be read as chronicles of glory in letters of gold to our credit from the "Book of Life." 'Be not deceived, God is not mocked." This is the lesson The Argus would like to impress upon its readers, every one, with this its last issue for the year 1894. Ere another issue of the paper greets you on Tuesday morn ing New Year's morning the old year will have vanished, and there will be "a new face at the door."' We hope it will be a glad face for all, a smiling face, a kindly face turned upward beaming with light that has "no strange ness in it" the old, old light of God's love. Levy for Taxes.
