' That the observance of Memorial Day in this city has lost nothing of solemnity or interest with the lapse of years was plainly evidenced yesterday. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour appointed for the procession to form on Market street, nearly all places of business were closed, as well as the offices at the County Court House and City Hall, and people were hurrying from ail parts' of the ' city some to take part in the procession, but by far the greater number wendiog. their way direct to Oak dale cemetery where ibe ceremonies were to take place an hour or so later. The procession was formed shortly after three o'clock and marched up Fourth and CampbelL streets tt the cemetery. Chief Marshal Kerchner, with his two aides Col, Roger Moore and Cot. John L.

Most merciful God, whose all embracing love surrounds us at all times, we thank Thee for the preserving care by which Thou bast kept us through the past year and brought us even unto the present hour. For the brightness of this day, for the re freshing rains of heaven. lor the opening flowers, for the joyous Spring time, and all that makes beautiful to-day this tran quil sleeping place of our departed friends, we tender thanks to Thee, for Thou art the bountiful giver of all. And as thought and memory again return to that fiery trial through y which we have passed, we would come unto Thee with bumbled, chastened - hearts, confessing our sins for which in righteousness - Thou didst afflict us. But while we acknowl edge our own sinfulness and the justice of 1 1 T I J I . m. ... ui i uy ueaungs, we oies. i nee mai we ' can still cherish with grateful, loyal love, the memory of those who so freely gave their lives in defence of all that we Held most dear. We thank Thee that Thou didst make tbem so true, so brave, bo strong. And we pray Thee that the time Liay never come when we shall cease 'to bold in loving remembrance their loyalty to Truth, to Liberty, and to Thee. May the time never come when these virtues shall cease to characterise their sons and daugh ters. May the time never come when we shall love life more than liberty, or lore anything more than principle. But may we, in the more favored times in which Thou hast now cast our lot, emulate the heroism, the patience, and the self sacri ficing devotion to duty that have made their names forever . illustrious. God of our fathers, let Thy blessing rest upon the whole of our united country. Let peace and good will prevail between man and man; let envy, strife and sec tionalism be abolished ; let the only rivalry Dei ween the different sections of our land be in loyalty and devotion to our common country, and zeal for the ' maintenance of the institutions lert us by our fathers. And if any parts of our land shall be threatened with evils and dangers from which we are exempt,! give us, O Lord, this sweet re venge, of preserving for those who were once our foes, by our conservatism, our wis dom and our patriotism, those principles and institutions which once with the sword we sought to preserve for ourselves alone. Our Father, as we gather here to-day, once more to honor our dead with those tributes of our love, we are sadly reminded that some who took part with us in these rites a year ago bave gone to join their comrades who re pose here in their last sleep. And while our tears fall fresh over their new-made gravis impress deeply upon our hearts the solemn fact that before another some of us will have joined them, and that sooner or latr all must respond to Thy summons. Grant, O Lord, that each one of us, as good soldiers of Jesus Christ, u.ay Ji found at the nost nf riiitv uur vapiuin s can. i&i a, rather a benedic lion rest upon us throughout our l.ves, and when we have served tby will on earth, minister unto each one of us an entrance abundantly into the everlasting Kingdom of Thy Son, through Jesus Christ, ocr Loid Amen. i .

Ladles and Gentlemen: It is with feelings of pride and pleasure, and also of sorrow, that we assemble here to day to pay our annual tribute to the memory of the Confederate dead.

We remember that Washington and the heroes of .. the Revolution were called "rebels," and their struggle for freedom was denounced as a "rebellion."

No State in the Southern Confederacy did it duty more faithfully than North Carolina, and no Soldiers in the Cen federate army fought Eore bravely or suffered more heavily than d the troops from tho "Old North State." Without wishing to draw invidious com irisons or detract in anything from the glory won bv all the Confederate cnldiera- jcti upon uu occasion i must oe pardoned for brief!

While we refer with pride to the large number of troops imuuaeu uy our Dtate, we recall wnn still greater pride their unsurpassed valor and heroism. Always placed at the post of greatest danger in the front in every assault and protecting the rear in every retreat the soldiers of North Carolina on every battle field i immortalized themselves and their State. In the first battle of the war at Big Bethel, I on the 10th of June, 1861 North .Carolina troops under D. H Hill gallantly repulsed the Federal troops under Beast Butler; and on the historic hills of Appomattox, on the 9th of April, 1865. North Carolina troops, under the gallant Grimes, were the foremost in the last charge nun uicu we last vouey. xn every name fought and every victory won by the glori ous old Army of Northern Virginia, North Carolina soldiers were the heaviest suf ferers! In the seven days' battles around Richmond in the summer of 1862, there were 92 Confederate regiments, and 46 of them were from North Carolina, and more than half of the killed and wounded were our brave North Carolinians. At Cbancel lorsville, in May, 1863, there were ten North Carolina brigades and of all the Confede rates there killed or wounded one-half were" from North Carolina On the fatal field of ueitysburg North Carolina had 88 regi ments and two battalions, and the dead Confederates found farthest in the Federal lines on Cemetery Ridge were North Caro linians. At Reams' 8tatinn, in August 1864. after the first efforts of the Confederates to dislodge the enemy had failed, the three North Carolina brigades of Cooke, McRae and Lane consisting of only 1,750 men were ordered to the charge, and so success ful, were they that they not only routed the enemy, but; captured 2.100 prisoners. At Dpotisyivania, in May, 1864, Kamaeur's brigade immortalized itself by a charge, for which Gen.i Lee in person thanked them, telling them that "they deserved the thanks of the country they had saved.his army," During the whole war no body of troops suffered more heavilv in any one engage ment than did the Fifth regiment at Wil liamsburg, the Fourth - regiment at Seven Pines, the j Third regiment at Sharbaburir. the Twenty-8ixth regiment at Gettysburg and the Twenty-Seventh regiment at Bris toe Station At . Williamsburg, on the 5th of May, 1862, the Fifth North Carolina regiment, whose Colonel is your distin guished townsman Duncan K. McRae lost in killed, wounded and , missing. 197 out pf 240.1 At Seven Pines, on the 81st of May, 1862, the Fourth regiment, com manded by the "bravest of the brave" Bryan Grimes went into battle with 25 officers and 630 non-commissioned officers and privates, and of that number every offlcer.except one. and 462 men were either killed or i wounded. At SharpsburB! on 5 25? ..of .BePtenber. 1862, the glorious old Third regiment of which Wilmington iLv 80 J"811 proud went in with 520, ! and I. lost 830, - mostly in the v ?J : "P08 . o' n ; hour and a In lLi Ut ot 27 omcer. 2 were killed or wounded, among the latter being its gallant commander, Col.

The Southern Bap tist Convention was called to order by Pre sident Mell at 9 o'clock for the third day's work. It was announced that the collection taken up at the mass meeting Saturday night for the benefit of foreign missions amounted to $2,445. , ! j The order of business was reported j as giving an afternoon session to the continu ation of home mission reports, and the evening session, opening at 8 p. m., to a general home missions meeting, to be held by Rev, Mr. Dix. A motion limiting speeches to ten minutes was"adopted. ; ;- The report of the Committee on Sugges tions to Board of Foreign Missions was read by Dr. W, C. Cleveland, of Ala bama. . It was r prepared by" Dr. John i A. Broadus, who was indisposed and unable to read the report himself. It pointed out that the: missions were much in need! of money, and that the missionaries in some cases must be sent home, but it would cost as much to bring them home as to support them' until the stringency for money was passed, i It suggested means to raise the needed mnnev A ,- In discussing the report Dr. Rowland of Maryland called attention to the compara tively, small amount given by - Southern Baptists eight cents per" capita per annum.

It reported the removal of, the office from Macon to Atlanta; the publica tion at a profit to the Home Mission Board, of a series of "Lesson Leaves." and an en tirely successful system of Sunday school publications, and the need of continued and earnest effort to make the publications more useful and successful. by putting them in all the Sunday schools of the Baptist Church. Adopted. . f Dr Frost, chairman of the committee on General Work of the Home Mission Board, reported that there had been increased tup port from all the States represented in the convention. There was good work doing under the board anion? nepmea anri Tn. dians, and within a year wonderfully suc cessful work had been begun in Cuba. For all there was need of money and more work, i Dr. Holt, of Texas, Secretary of the uome mission Board, said that the board has always greatly aided that State, but yet there are 87 counties where they have neither preachers nor churches. The Bap tists number 160,000 white and 50,000 col ored communicants. The recent drouth had effected many portions of the State, but frontier work needed assistance and must have it. There are two hundred thousand Germans in Texas and no mis sionaries among them, when there should be at least ten. - I Dr. Penrick, of Louisiana, spoke of his State as a missionary field. He said there are now about 20,000 Baptists in Louisiana, with thirteen missionaries at work Who were heart and soul engaged in Christian izing the people. There are 250,000 French speaking people, all Catholics, in the State, while among them are daily working two Baptist missionaries. These people are growing tired of the yoke of Catholicism and stand ready to throw off the demands of the priesthood. Many of them have al ready become Christians, and others of the vreoie population win follow should op portunity be given them. : , ' i Rev. J. 8. Monroe, Indian Missionary, referred to the work in Indian Territory, the weakest mission connected with! the association. "There are." he said, "247 761 Indians in the United States, not in cluding Alaska; of these 75,000 are civil ized; 141,316 wear citizens dress; 38,801 read the English language, and there are 50.000 children of school age The Terri tory comprises an area of 64.222 square miles, 79,791 Indians and 46 tribes. There are three missionaries and seven thousand Baptists. But we need more workers jand more help. We call upon this Board earn- ceiiy iu come so our aid.
