A great many people in Wilming

tached to Rev. R. G. Pearson. What
concerns bim interests them. He has
left Goldsboro for Asheville, his
home. Next month he cross to
Lynchburg, Va., and will remain in
that State for some time as he has
several appointments. The Golds
boro Argus says of him:
"He and his good wife will Ion be re
membered with prayers sad thftoksgivlog

They have done a great wore in oar midst.
More than three hundred hsve opjnly pro
fessed conversion, and up to date about
one hundred have joined the different

thousand or two professing Christiana have
publicly vowed a better Ufa Bui these
figure give no adequate conception of tbe
influence of Mr. Pearson work during hit
two weeks ministration. It has gone out
like a sweet perfume into tbe country
around and will belike the breath of life
in this valley of death for years to come.'
Ella Wheebe Wilcox has some
verse on the South that is character
istio of Northern scribblers. Sbe
writes for instance:
"A queen of Indolence aad id Us graoe.
Robed to the vestments of a costly go wu,
She turns the languor of her lovely face
Upon progression with a lsxy frown."
Ella should come up and see for
herself and quit playing tho par
rot. We say "coma up," and that
is geographically correot. The South
is higher than tbe North.
You need some varnish, some
starch, some paint, some window
glass and some wbttiog. What tax
under the Radical Tariff must you
pay? Answer: On varnish 95- cents
for every dollar's worth of the ar-

glass, for small size, 60; for larger,
1.00; whiting, 1.34. That is, one

Goldsboro, Oct 24.-Pearson has
been in Goldsboro. If one talk to a
gentleman on the streets ten minutes
he will find it out, certain. Most
blessed influences have followed his
work here the awakening of indif
ferent and cold Christians, the re
generation and conversion of the god

pulse of the whole city.
Synod meets to-night. Presby-
terians are coming in from every
direction. The Primitive Baptists
hold their Association here this week
also.
Last night what is unusual amrmc
me iresDyrerians, a convention in
the interests of Home Mission work
v . . .-. :
in Svnod was organized bv the elec
tion of Rev. J. M: Wharey as chair
man, and Rev. C. W. Robinson as
clerk. Religious services were con
ducted by the chairman. Dr. F. H.
J ohnston made an ODenine address.
in which passing by the principles of
missionary worK be urged going on to
perfection, tie sketched the rise and
progress of Presbyterianism in North
Carolina, showing that it owed its
origin to Home Missions from the
Synod of New York.
The synod or jNortn Carolina has
had much fruit in this work in the
erection of Presbyteries, and by
the frequent - preaching tours bv
such laborers as McCorkle. Hugh Mc-
Aden, ratilio, oca With a large
map of Synod before him he pointed
out some cnaracteristics of -fresbyte-
rian settlement. One third of the
State and one third of the popula
tion are without Presbyterian preach
ing, some tnirty counties nave only
one or two feeble churches. With
all its historic advantages it has only

bers lie was not quite sure that he
ought to be ashamed of the rapidity
(1) of growth. The Moravians are the
most liberal in missionary work in the
State God seems to have ordained
the Methodists to go out and compel.
men to come in. Tne ixrd seems to
have raised up the Presbyterian
Church to be the great conservative
force a kind of spiritual bal
ance wneei. ut, says some one.
"Is not the State already-
evangelized by some religious body?"
Answer, there is much room for other
workers. The number of churches of
all sorts gives one church to every
500 of the population. But there are
many communities in which there is
no church at all. For its spiritual de
velopment tbe church needs to enter
more earnestly on this work afrhome.
The church is wakine ur. In the last
ten years it has increased 30 per cent.
are there any obstacles in the way
01 onward movement ? Mas the
church men enough? The Methodist
ministers have 400 to every minister.
The Presbyterian ministers have only
200. Is there want of means? Last
year the Baptists spent $9,000 in sup
porting over luu men in atate Mission
work. The ' Presbyterian Church
spent $6,000 or $7,000 in supporting
wholly or in part about 00 men.
There is no lack of means! si
The crreat difficulty is in the un
equal distribution of work among the
.Presbyteries.
The church should wake up in
view of the rapid material develop
ment of the State.
The decadence of old churches has
lately caused alarm, especially in
New England.
The old churches must be helped.
Home Mission activity aids Foreign
Mission zeal.
Dr, Johnston's address was very
thoughtful and thought-provoking.
Me stated facts, offering yery little
explanation of them, something is
likely to come of it, but no one knows
what just yet. An honest desire to
do more active work for the extension.
of Christ's kinedom is "very manifest.
but how to do it and yet cling to the
traditions of the fathers is what
causes the trouble. A great big
steam engine with steam up and a
good track ahead and yet can't go, is
in a bad nx.

votional exercises by the chairman.

Syrup to the baby, and said nothing. That night
all hands slept well, and the little fellow awoke in
the morning orlght and happy The mother was
delighted with the wonderful change, and al
though at first offended at the deception prac
ticed upon her, has continued to use the Syrup,
and suffering crying babies and restless nights
have disappeared. A single trial of the Syrup
never yet failed to relieve the baby, and over
come the prejudices of the mother. Sold by all
Druggists. 36 cents a bottle.
