ADDRESS OF DR. C. M. POOL
President (ol the N. C. Sunday
School Association.
At Graham. Sunday, Sept. 29, Before the
Alamance County Sunday School
Association,
Not long ago while attending a
county Sunday-school convention I
heard a mini8terof the eosnel use
These words, "When I am atan ding
i. i . i . .
oenina a pulpit with an open Bible
before me, then I feel mys elf at
homp." So T
I am sitting beside a sick bed regis
tering the temperature olmy patient
then I feel myself at home. So, you
will observe that I am somewhat
Otit of place this evening. But, my
mends, 1 am here bscause deep down
in mv heart is a burninc Hosirp t.n An
0 - - -
all the good I can, whenever I can,
and in whatever way I can, to assist
in this great cause in which we are
engaged, especially the organized
work ot the bunday-school.
I am not here to make vou a
SDeecb. but. if vou nleisa. T shall
. I I J I 7
read you some data and some points
of interest that may assist in devel
oping this, the greatest of all church
work, committed principally to the
laymen ot the world.
The Sundav-suh jol stands second
only to the pulpit, and so long as
character training for service in the
extension of the kingdom is needed,
the Sunday-school will grow in pow
er and sweep throughout the world.
It is already recognized as a vital
force in missionary work, and much
good has resulted from it, bat there
yet remains much to be done.
' When Robert Raikes was born at
Gloucester in 1736, more than a cen
tury and a half ago, there dawned
upon the church and the world a
never-dvine epoch, an epoch as last
ing as the hills, and from which hai
been and is being derived more good
than anv other occurrance that has
a
eveV transpired in the world, save
alone ihe coming of the Savior to
redeem fallen man. Were he living
to-day, and should he receive the
same treatment at the hands of the
people that he received then, he
would, in all probability, give up
in despair. He was a man of gay
and joyous temperament and ol me
thodical and tenacious purpose, and,
Oh, that we had today more men of
even temperament and fixed pur
pose! We need in this cause God
reliant, courageous, conscientious
6hristian men and women, but we
need no. man-made religion. We
need earnest workers whose faith is
never-failing, whose hearts have been
changed by and are. filled with the
grace of God, who know no such
thing as fail. Robert Kaikea was a
man of this type. He began his
work in 1780 and when he and bis
companion in the work, Mrs. Bran
don, were hissed ' in the streets and
had all sorts of nely and disoourag-
ingepithets hurled at them, they
never faltered but pressed, siraigui
' hfilievintr that
thv would vet live to see great good
eeulting from the. project inaugura-
tod fcv them. It seems aimoBtju-
credible, but it is said that in less
than seven years more than 250,000
persons were engaged in mwb
with them. First the spelling-book
was taught & the ib?e . the
Knot and the catechism.

Scountries, tepre-eoUng
sge oftheewdeJig bog nearly
nine thousand miles, truly we are
constrained to say that there is a
power back of this movement which
is super-human in nature and effect.
As Rev. Seegers says, "When we
compare what we have in our
churches to-day with what we had
some year 8 ago, we feel that some
thing has been done for the religious
training of children. Of course the
substance is r.o better, but it is in
so much better form, based so much
more completely on sound pedagog
ical principles. Years ago they had
the Bible we have the same but
it is one thing to have the Bible, it
is another thing to have its truths
brought to us in a form suitable to
our age and comfornable to our in
telligence. Starting with the sim
plest elementary scriptural facts,
giving in tho form of stories and talks
and with such illustrations as appeal
particularly to childhood, the course
advances by easy gradation to the
profoundest doctrines of our religion.
The aim has been to keep as closely
as possible to the gradual unfolding
of revelation itself. Every depart
men t of biblical knowledge receives
due attention, and is brought into
its logically indicated place in the
curriculum. This gives unity to
the system and a comprehensive,
progressive character that supplies!
everything that is needful tor a very
thorough, biblical and doctrinal ed
ucation." Certainly the Sunday-school, with
its present apparatus, is doing more
towards making religious training
a possibility than ever before. With
tbe infants the course prepared for
them creates and produces a famil
iarity with the leading facts and per
sons, and the important places re
corded in the Word of God. It is
giving a gradual and yet more or
less complete account of the entire
scheme and way of salvation, In
the next .grade the child is made
acquainted with the underlying
teachings of the Church concerning
God, man, sin and ealvatiou and
makes known to it the ethical side
of life which should flow out of the
doctrines received and believed. In
the "Quarterly' a more comprehen-
a I 1 ..
sive and isomewnat proiounaer
course is given, including in its scope
the ' ntire Word of God, arranged so
as to have the main faots connected
with the work of Christ in saving
mankind studied at the proper time.
This is a brief resume of the plan
of teaching in the different schools
nf the land, and when given an im
partial consideration, it does seem
to me that the Bunday-scnooi is do
ing very much for the proper train
ing of the child. Truly it has been
Bnid:"He would be an exacting and
carping critic who would presume
to say that it does not supply in
rich abundance milk for the bibes
and strong meat for them that are
of full age."
Now, this is all very good and
will exert a powerful influence if
properly applied, but how many
schools fail in effective work simply
because of improper, careless or lax
application of these helps. Many
Sunday-schools fail because of a
tn nrndnce a familiarity with
the teachings and practices of the
Bible, and, as consequence,
failure in developing true christian
This is largely caused

JOSEPH W. BAICEY.
A
MAGAZINE
writer once
asked the first
ten members of the
press gallery at
Washington titat he
met whom thf.y re
garded as the ablest
m a n In congress.
Every one of them
nnswered, "Senator
Balloy of Texas."
Bailey tLtfs not In
dulge In much humor In lwT-speeches,
though be at times crossed swords with
Tom Reed and held bis own with the
best debaters in both the house and
senate. He Is especially nappy as a
story teller.
Bailey first appeared In politics in
Texas as a delegate to a congressional
convention. He, -of course, spoke elo
quently for his marl. There was a
deadlock, and so great an impression
had Bailey made that some one pro
posed to nominate him, and a stam
pede started In his favor. Bailey felt
In honor bound, howevor, to stand by
his candidate and tried to stem the
tide for himself, but all in vain. Final
ly an Inspiration struck him. He an
nounced that he bad not reached tbe
constitutional age of twonty-flve, and
as a result his name was dropped, and
the man he favored was nominated.
Bailey failed to say, however, that he
would have been twenty-five before ho
would have had to take bis seat, If
elected.,.
The way Joe Bailey finally got his
nomination to congress Is told In the
following anecdote:
He was again a dolegate to the con
vention and on 'the way met an old
farmer.
"Going to the convention?", osked
Bailey. "Yep," sold the farmer. "Ever
hear of a young lawyer named Bailey
around here?" asked Bailey. "Nope,"
said the farmer. "Good speaker, bright
fellow, I understand," suggested Bai
ley. "S'pose so," snld tbe farmer.
"Yes," continued Bailey, "and he will
be over there today, and I'll' toll you
what we'll do. We'll call on him to
make a speech. You see all your
friends, tell them about Bailey, and
we'll call on blva."
The farmer said "all right." No more
was sold about the matter until there
was a lapse In tbe convention. Sud
denly the farmer got up and suggested
that the convention hear from Mr. Bai
ley, "a rlsln' youug lawyer of these
dlggln's," he said, "on' a feller who
talks like puttin' out fire." "Bailey!
Bailey! Bailey!" more than a dozeu
yells went up, and Bailey came forth.
He made oue of the hottest speeches
of his life, and the upshot of tbe whole
thing was that the "rlsln' young law
yer of these dlggln's" got the nomina
tion for congress.
They were tolling ghost stories in the
Democratic cloak room In the senate,
aud Senator Bailey asked If anybody
had beard the story of tbe man who
had been reading late at night and
who turned around to find something
in the' shape of a man, but without s
head, sitting close besldo him.
"The man Jumped up," said the sen
ator, "bolted out of tbe house and ran
like a whitehead until be could run no
farther. When be was exhausted, he
sank down on a log gasping, but hope
ful that be had loft the apparition be
hind. To bis intense horror be found
tbe an mo figure sitting beside him on
tho log when he looked around. .lie
was too much played out to run Just
then, so he sat and shivered. In a
minute the figure bitched up close and
said. That was a very pretty race wi
had, wasn't It?
" 'Yes,' gasped tbe man, 'but It Isn't
a marker to the one we're going to
have as soon as I get my breath. "
"A young friend of mine," said Sen
ator Bailey, "married not long ago s
woman of fifty years. She was rich
and ugly; he wsshandsome and poor.
"The day nfter'thetr wedding I met
the bride and groom on I'ullmao
train. Tbe groom went Into tbe smok'
Ing compartment with m. and w
lighted up. He smoked gloomily.
- 'Well, Jack,' I said, so this Is you
honeymoon, ebf
"He smiled grimly Don't call It my
honeymoon,' be said. If s the bsrvesl
moon with me.' "
Senator Bailey wa stopped on day
by a Teian. .
"Senator. I'd like a little ebat with

THE IRISH CODE.
Dueling e It Flourlahed Years Ago In
the Grean Isle.
In the Green Isle dueling flour
ished years ago ns much as it did in
Franco. When a Trinity college
ttudent asked tho provost what
books ho had better bring to col
lege tho latter said: "Never mind
the books. Bring a case of pistols."
The students were in the habit of
settling those little affairs either
just before or just after morning
prayers. All the distinguished Irish
men of the eighteenth century were
duelists. Curran, Grattan, Sheri
dan, Barrington, Fitzgibbon, Flood,
O'Connell, were often "out," and
later tho O'Gorman Mahon had
twenty-two affairs to his credit.
The bar led tho list.
Lord chancellors and masters of
the rolls fought like cornets of
horse. Lord Norbury fought
"Fighting" Fitzgerald and two oth
ers, besides "frightening" Naper
Tandy, as the Irish historians tell
us. Galway was great with tho pis
tol, Tipperary with the sword. Two
English "fines lames," Major Park
and Captain Creed, went to Ireland
to find focmcn worthy of their steel
and found them in Mr. Matthew
and Mr. Macnamara, who fought
with them in a private room at an
inn, wounded tnem nearly unio
death, nursed them back lpto health
and were rewarded with their
friendship. Colonel Barrington and
Mr. Gilbert, two middlo aged mar
ried men, had a desperate duel in
1759 because they did not wish to
leave an unsettled quarrel as a lega
cy for their children. They fought
on horseback with sword, pistol and
"skeen," or Irish bowie knife. First
the pistols were fired, Barrington
receiving some of the charge in his
face, but he rushed on Gilbert, kill
ed bis horse with his broadsword,
dismounted and, putting hia "skeen"
to the other's throat, colled upon
him to "ask for his life on pain of
death." Gilbert agreed to shake
hands and be friends, but without
condition or apology. Barrington
consented.
"Fighting" Fitzgerald, a well
known character, a cousin of the
Earl of Desmond, an Eton boy, an
Oxford graduate and an officer in
the Sixty-ninth foot, fought eight
een duels and was thought by many
to be mad. lie lured a ganir of ruf
fians, waylaid and killed a gentle
man on tho king's highway and was
hanged at Castlcbar. Among oth
ers he encountered Martin of Gal
way, the Rev. Richard Bate and
Captain Harvey Ashton, afterward
killed at Madras in a duel with
Colonel Allen. The Ashton duel
and another fought by Clive with a
Calcutta civilian indirectly helped
British arms to many victories. The
first made way for a Colonel Welles
ley, afterward better known under
another name, to an important com
mand beforo Seringapatam. The
second had, by displaying tbe des

Wit ind Humor
of
"PRIVATE" JOHN ALLEN.
AFTER sixteen
years of serv
ice, during
which time be en
joyed the reputation
of being th3 wit of
the national bouse
of representatives,
"Private" John M.
Allen of Tupelo,
Miss., voluntarily
retired to the more
lucrative If less
conspicuous vocation of the law. The
memory of his stories and humor still
survives in tbe national capital, where
few men have been more popular.
Tbe story of the way Allen got his
title of "Private" is still worth telling,
though the Incident happened over
twenty years ago. It was when he
first ran for congress. His opponent
was a General Tucker, and the two
campaigned together. The general at
one meeting told the crowd how be had
saved their town during tbe war and
grew particularly eloquent in describ
ing his sleeping in a tent tbe night be
fore the battle. -
Allen, who was not within a hundred
miles of that battle, rejoined in hi
Inimitable manner:
rrlanria and Fellow Cltlsens It's all
true what General Tucker told you about
his sleeping In his tent that night before
the battle. I know all about it, for I was
auardlna that tent all night long In the
cold and wet on picket And now I Just
want to aar to all ot you who ware aan-
erals In tha war and alept at nights In
your guarded tents, like General Tucker,
you vote for him. Uut all you fellows
that guarded the generals' tents In th
wet and cold. Ilka me, you vote for Pri
vate Allan.
That speech gained Allen bis sobri
quet and his election at one and the
same time.
rtna of Mr. Allen' most famous
speeches in congress was delivered In
tha anmmnr of 181KL when Speaker
Reed and Major McKlnley were both
candidates for the Kepuoucau presi
dential nomination and aa a conse
quence were saying little on public
question.
Allep began by stating that there bad
haan considerable , comment In the
newspapers respecting the somewhat
unusual silence wnicn naa cnantciw
laed him in this session, "Hut Mr.
Speaker," be continued, "there ha
been little in this session or congress
to Inspire a Christian man to be lo
quacious. I am not tbe only one who
has been silent in these- days. There
are many of us leaders who are not
talking much lately."
Mr Allan said tbe KeDDbilcan wer
evidently going to select for their can
riirinta a man who had the Qualities for
which the colonel of a cavalry regi
ment selected animal for nis troops,
"He must turn quick ana go iast.--

Tillman, hod claimed that oieo is (Su
