Extract from Vice-President Stevenson's
Fourth of July Speech at the Guilford
J .utile Ground Iclclirutinn,
What shall lie the future of this great
commonwealth? Tlio glorious achievo
mcnts of her sons in the past ore a part
of common history. In her devotion to
liberty, her strules and sacrifices for
indepcudenco, North Carolina stood in
the forefront of tlio colonics. Tho hero
ism of her sous at Eutaw, at Guilford,
at Coupon and King's Mountain turned
the tide of war from the southern border
and made possible the early termination
of hostilities by the surrender of Corn-
wallis at Vorktown. Nor has she been
less renowned for a firm attachment to
the principles of religious toleration for
her efforts in behalf of a higher and
grander civilization.
But what of the future? What will
be tho verdict of tlio future as to the
achievements of the present generation,
In all that makes a State truly great,
is North Carolina to lag behind, or to
keep even paco with her sister common
wealths in tho century upon which we
arc soon to enter ?
With an area of more than fifty thou
sand square miles, stretching from the
western border; with a breadth of two
hundred miles from north to south; with
a soil happily adapted to tho supply of
all material wants; with a climate; trav
ersed from north to south, from pine
forest to mountain fastness, by railroad:
her mountains overflowing with every
variety of mineral wcath in a word, so
abundantly blessed with nature's choicest
gifts North Carolina, I am persuaded,
Mr. President, is just entering upon
career of wonderful material prosperity.
But this is not all. Lot this common
wealth be now viewed from a higher
standpoint. In the struggle for niatcriul
wealth, have the claims of education, of

Tho Rev. Dr. Darwood, of St. Paul b
Methodist Episcopal Church, of Middle-
town, N. Y., who alhinis that liud never
placed a minister in the pulpit to shoot
blank cartridges, and expresses his dis
dain for pulpit puppets and cringing
Christians, has declared war against "The
gold ringed and gay apparelled humbugs
in tho church ol Uod," and Sunday
evening fired volley after volley from his
pulpit.
Women wero severely censured for
adorning themselves in such costly rai
ment while pretending to worship God,
especially because of the injurious effect
nnon others. "Fashion in the house of
God has driven tho poor from the temple
of God," declared tho Doctor, "and the
customs of some wouicn have been the
temporal ruin and tho eternal damnatiop
of nicu, while many women who enter

Deuteronomy xxniii., 'J.'.
Human nature is made of very strange
material, We are constantly surprised
at our ability to bear what seems to be
unendurable. I'nder the pressuro of a
great incentive we can accomplish mim
es, and when necessity compels, we can
en. lure anything.
No man is thoroughly acquainted with
iiuself. There arc depths and heights
in his soul which lie has never explored.
n one environment he is a common
lace creature; in another he develops
into a hero. The possibility of greatness
hidden somewhere in every mau's na-
ure. lie in an unconscious giant, but
ill never do a giant's work until the
emergeney forces him to. Give him an
rdinary road to travel, and he shambles
along like a peasant; give him n hill to
b, then thuuder iu his ear, "You
must!" and ho becomes transformed from
clod to a god.
It is the sternness of fate which makes
man great. 1 1 is inclination is to be
small, to be comfortable rather than no
ble, to live easily rather than grandly, It
is only when a compelling force on the
outside drives him, or when he finds
himself in a tangle of circumstances from
which cxtiication seems impossible, that
he lises to his full height and accomplish
es the task which ho has looked upon
with trembling timidity. In a word,
he is almost omnipotent, but docs not
know it, and never can know it until
God proves it to bim by giving him the
impossible to do.
During the war the farmer's boy was
thrilled by a spark of electric patriotism
but great deeds wero beyond his thought
lie hud never seen the hcruiu clement io
his nature He enlisted as a duty, and
for months was only an ordinary soldier
n the ranks, Ily and by, however, he
faced a grave danger. There was death
in the air. The bullets were flying fast
and be gavo up all hope of seeing home
again. But with danger came opportu
nity. That opportunity acted on him
ko magic. A farmer's boy no longer.
he suddenly became a hero, as thou
some fairy had swung her wand over Mb
head. He was larger in soul than he
ever dreamed of becoming, went into the
thick of the fight and unflinchingly did
deeds of prowess. When the shadows
of evening fell and the bloody work was
over ho had a captaio's strap on his
shoulders, and was by no means the same
man who led the plough in the furrow
to follow the tup of the drum. Oppor
tunity is another name for mctemsychosis
for there aro times when wo shed the

the Round Tabic.
But we can endure as well as do when
we must. No one knows how much hi
can bear until ho is tried. Providence
has made life hard because every man
needs tho test of fire. Why this is so it
might be diOVult to say, but that it is bo
no one can doubt. We arc drowsy until
some earthquake shock shakes us, and
then we becoino men, 111 fortune
spiritually worth more than what we call
good fortune. The rich man's son is apt
to slide down hill, while the poor man's
boy climbs to tho top. If you have all
you want your life is without value. If
you have nothing that you want the de
sire to get the best there ia is a transfig
uring influence, though it involves sacri
fice and tragedy.
You are content, and your home is a
happy one. Wife and child sit at your
winter fireside and you contemplate your
surroundiogs with grateful satisfaction.
The sky is blue for you and tho sun al
ways seta in beauty. But you recogoite
the fact that there arc storms to be met,
and though you have had immunity thus
far you know that it cannot lust forever.
There are burdens to be borne, and you
must fit your shoulders to some of them,
When you thiol of what may possibly
happen the tears come to your eyes.
Your income may talc to itself wings
aud speed away, leaving you to sit in the
ashes of bankruptcy. That seems hard
enough, yet you have a feeling ihat you
eau bear it if it is inevitable But whin
a white hearse rumbles by your door you
know that sonic father's heart is break
ing and it comes to you that a liko disas
ter may visit you. Lile is so uncertain
and Death is apparently ao capricious.
If you should look into tho eyes of yoir
little ono be might want him Death

flower, the only one you have, mayhap.
what would you do, what aould you do?
You shudder and grow palo. Yau fall
upon prayer tnat no white hoarse may
ever atop at your door. Your life would
go out like an extinguished caodlo,
There would be nothing left. That mia
fortune you cannot bear. Anything olac
but not that, you say ao have said many
and then they have wept because the
prayer wm not answered.
Then Death steals into your house un
awares and your flower is gone. Are
your shoulders broad enough fur that
eavy weight? Y ou sink under it nnd
lie down by the side of the child in the
samcgraVv'. No, not that; because "as
thy days, so shall thy strength bo."
Wheu the time comes you find larger en
duranee of soul than you have credited
ourself with, and, though tho future
uys may bo gray days ami the sun never
bines in ipiite the old way, you can bear
io sorrow; you do bear it with I'uriitude
borrowed from the angels.
Much depends on your faith. No soul
tat looks at heaven can he crushed by
nything that happens on the earth.
Once get a glimpse of the lulure, once
sec the boy in the garments of tho iiu
mortals, and though your heart breaks
ou would not call him back. It is faith
that lightens our load while doubt doubles
its weight. One glance at God, and fate
iin do you no further harm.
