If Blaine should be elected by any con siderable majority in the face of the opposition" of the JVew York Times, The IIeraldi liar pers Weekhf, the Springfield Republican, and dozens of oth ers who have been either strong ly Republican or of Independ ent proclivities, then no longer may the' jtess boast of its vaun tefl power in inlluencing the popular mind. Ou the other hand should indeed a tidal wave bear Cleveland into the White House undoubtedly much of the success must justly be attributed to the warm support given him1 by the Journals above named.

The Dr. has plenty of wit and good sense, and his Speech was full Of both. "In termediate Classes" were then spoken of by "N. B. Broughton, of Raleigh, and lPim?iry Classes" by Rev. Ed. M.

As soon as the Sunday School is ended, ther children go home, and da not think they ought to stay for preaching. Teachers sometimes magnify the Sunday School too much, and to -the injury of the preaching of the Gospel. To remedy this and in terest children, the sermon may have'special reference to1 tne lesson of the1 day. 1 Again, some make the impressionthat:tJltl,:c , T aAMlsl ": thP.SnnrlPv Roh'fuA fnr tl f1 addresses . were made, children only, a good way to make childi-en listen to the ser- moh is to ask them' about it when they " get home.

He said it was a great deal easier to impress things upon tne minds of cnil- dren with pictures thanr with out tKem.

He spoke of the greatness of fbur country with all its resources, said it was two hundred and fourteen times larger than Palestine, The land , of Promise ' ' and contained as many sources of wealth rand happiness.
