SANFORD, N. C., THURSDAY, MAY 28, 1891 SABBATH SCHOOL 4. “And ll cajite tb past after this that Joasb waiI mipded to repair the hotue of the Lord." We now go backward in the history to a period about a hundred years earlier than the last lesson. Joasb was the seventh king of the two tribes, and began to reign about a hundred years after the death of Hotomon. Oifly seven yssrs old when he be gan to reign.^bemignei forty years (vs. 1). through the instruction of Jehoiada, the priest (II Kings lit, 2)., 1 The temple was-flrst plundes-ed In the fifth year ofReboboatn, 'about thirty-four years after it,was dedicated (IUJhron. xli., 3, #). Thisia suggestive of the death of Chris* (the true Temple) in His thirty-fourth year During the reigns of Abija, Jehoram and Ahasiah the temple was much neglected and during Ihtf'Si*' years immediately preceding the reign of Joaah, while the wrcked queen Athaliah reigned (ehgp. anil., 2, 3,12), wick* of the nattonsTife, nnd their treattneotof it, or rather of Him who manifested His pres ence in it, indicated the health of the nation or otherwise. The purpose of Joash to re pair or renew the house point* to bleat ing about to coma on the people. -- • A 8. “And he gathered together the priests and the Levitee.” Tbs whole tribe of Levi was set apart by God for the special service of the sanctuary (Num! iiL, 6-8). Of this tribe Aaron and his descendant* were to be the prieete, while all the rest of the tribe was given to him for special service (Hum. Ui.,9,10). j/ “Go out into the cities of Judah, and gather of all Israel money to repair, the house of your,God from year to year, and ’ see that ye Hasten the matter.’' lilts would have been a sort of compulsory taxation for the bouse of God, and wae contrary to the principle laid down in Ex. xxv., 2—“Of eyery man that giveth it willingly with his heart ve'shall take My offerlajt” ,6. “And the king oalledsfcr Jehdrada, the chief, and said unto Mm, Why-bast thou not required of'the Levites to bring in out of Judah and Jerusalem the collection? The priest and the. Levitee probably under stood their business better than the king did. It was not in their commission to go out collecting money, but it Was com manded that the people shonldhHiqf to their offerings according to their ability (Dent, xyi., 1$ If; Mai. in., 10). It is a poor state of affairs when a worker of God has to go around collecting his salary,, or when money for the Lord’s work has to be wrong from nnwlllinv hearts. 7. “For the sons of- Athaliab, that wicked woman, had broken up the house of God.” This was the woman who counseled her son Ahaziah (the last king) to do wickedly, and who, after his death, reigned rix years (chap, xxii. *2, 8,.’12). See her miserable end in chap, xxiii.. 15. bin.” If woa re children of God by faith in Christ Jesus, then we are no longer our own, but bought with a price (the blood of Christ) that we may glorify God (I Cor. vi., 10, 20). $»J‘An<fat the king’s commandment they inhda a chesty and set it without at the gate of the houseoC the Lord.” There was a hole in the lid of the chesV and it was set beside the altar on the right side as one oometh in to the house of the Lord (II Kings, xii., 9). Things are looking better now; this is more like God’s way, and there will surely be a blessing. 9. “ And they made a proclamation through Judah and Jerusalem, to bring into the.Lord the collection that Moses, the serv ant of God, laid upon Israel In the wilder ness.” This is more fully stated in II Kings, xii., 4, 5, and carries us back to Bx., xxx., 11-16, where all who were numbered were to give a half shekel as an offering unto the Lord to make an atonement for their souls, the rich nbt giving more and the poor not giving lp b than half a shekpl. This silver, like the sacrifice, was a symbol of atone-, m*nt. 10. ‘And all the princes and all tbe peo plej-ejoiced, and brought in, and cast into the rJiMt, Until thev had made an end.” This the chest until they had made ah end.’ __ pleased the Lord, tor “God loveth a cheerful giver,” and “if there be first a willing mind, It is accepted according to that a man hath, and not according to - that he hath not (It Cor i*M 7; viii/> 12) - 11. “Thus they did, day by day, and gath ered money in abundance.” As the chest (was filled it was emptied, counted, put up in bags and set in its place again (H iCings, xii., 10). 12. “And the king and Jehoiada gave it to such as did the work of the service of the i bouse of the Lord.” And they laid it out to the carpenters and builders, and to masons ' and hewers of stone, and to buy timber and hewed stone to repair i no breaches of the ■ [house of the Lord.

There ere many indications that the South will soon be as noted for its min eral oil products as it has already become for its coal and iron. The extent of this business in West Virginia is' increased almost daily by discoveries of new terri tory. There are said to bn fine prospects of a large development in Southeastern Kentucky and Northeastern Tennessee. The recent finds of oil in paying quan tities in Moulton valley, 25 miles south of Florence, Ala., and the existence of similar geological formations through an extensive area in the northern part of that Btate, and in 'Wayne county, Tenn., all go to confirm the belief, shared by scientsfS and practical oil operators alike, that an almost continuous oil field will be found on the southern prolongation of the “22 deg. belt, which all the develop ments of the great ‘Northern oil field’ have hitherto followed. ” An expert, Mr. T. H. Allen, in a communication to the Florence (Ala.) Herald, describes these, geological formations at length and says; - “No conscientious man can speak with absolute certainty as to what is or is not concealed a thousand or two thousand feet under ground. He can only form conclusions, based upon the surface in dications, by comparing them with in dications existing at other points where experiment has already demonstrated successfully the existence of the material of which he may be in search. By such comparis n, coupled with the known ge ological facts relating to the formation of the earth, he will strive at such re sults as would warrant a man of good business capacity in, placing his money in it.” All developments of oil territory in the United States and Canada since opera tors have ceased to be speculators and settled down to regular business methods have been results of the application of scientific and practical knowledge in combination. This combition applied to the possible oil territory of the South may lead io a grand development. I A Big Meteor Falls In Texas.

It w»« ilso attributed to an earthquake. A brakeman on a freight train near I a, a small station 13 miles west of here, saw the meteor plainly and Baw it burst. He says one of the fragments, whieh ap peared to be about as targe as his head, struck the earth not more than 100 yards from the railway tracks. The concus sion of the explosion was so great that it momentarily checked the progress of the train, thie fact being noted by ail on tbe train.

As to the Farmers’ Alliance members, they would, he skid, act togeflrer. Their number was not definitely known, but there would be thirty-five or forty of them, he thought. They would demand some concessions from the candidates they supported, and if thef could not get these concessions they would bolt the Democratic csucub. In response to a questio* about the Bub-Treasury plan he said tput he was opposed to class legislation of any sort, but that this plan he believed to he nec essary, under present conditions, to ad just things. Thus far there been much class legislation, and it had all been in favor of other classes to the detriment of the farmers. Of oourse, what he would pefer to see would be the aboli tion of all class legislation, hilt the for mers had quite as much right to legisla tion expressly for their benefits as had auy other class of citizens. There must be something done, he said, to place the farmers on an equal footing in this mat ter. He thought that the discussion of the Sub-Treasury plan was a, good thing, and it might be necessary to adopt it under the present condition of thiugs. In arguing against ,k he said the monop olists had exposed some of the weakness es of their own position; for the argu ment against the class legislation pro posed on one hand was just as strong against that in operation on the other. #AN INTERSTATE GATHERING. Farmers and Fruit Grower* to Meet at Jackson, Miss., Next February. Jackson, Miss., ^Special.]—Captain •i. T.

An executive committee was appointed aud machinery put in motion for holding the biggest farmers’ conven tion ever held in the State at Jackson next February. Captain Merny says he has assurance from the Agricultural Department at Washington that it will sena all the sci entific orators needed. Governor How ard, of Wisconsin, bead of the dairy in terests of the country, has promised to come, as have a number of others. Ex cursions are to be run from all over the Northwest, and the convention will be a great inducement for Northern farmers to hunt homes in the South. The dairymen’s convention held here in 1887 induced" hundreds of Western and Northern men to locate in the South, aud they are well pleased with their in vestments. t VIRGINIA'S DEFAULTED BONDS. Representatives of $83,000,000 Face Value to Call on Gov. McKinney. The committee of American holders of defaulted Virginia bonds held a con ference with G. 8. Ellis, the committee's secretary, just arrived from England. Mr. Ellis was sent abroad to get the co operation of the English bondholders in the American committee’s efforts to se cure the payment of principal and inter est from V irginia. The conference rep resented 85 per cent, of the defaulted debt of the state or about $83,040,000 in bonds. A letter was prepared and for warded to Gov. McKinftey announcing this, and asking for an early interview with him. Under a resolution adopted by the Legislature of Virginia, a guaran tee deposit of $1,000,000 will be required as an evidence that the committee really represent the bondholders. The com mittee think they will be able to con vince Gov. McKinney that they represent the bondholders. The committee will not tell the terms they propose to offer the Governor. _ A Mine-Tear Old Girl Stolen. Memphis, [Special.]—Anna Clara Kennoye, the ninc-ycar-old daughter of Mrs. M. R. Kcnnoye, of 20 Allen Avenue, started for school on Thursday, but has not yet returned. In 1888 the child and mother by accident met on-a river steam er A. P. Kersucker, of Dubuque, Iowa, who afterward settled ust Greenville, Miss. He took a great fancy to the bright-faced child, and begged of the mother that she permit him to adopt her daughter. His request was denied. He gave the child many presents, however, •and saw her frequently. In April of last year Mr. Kersucker died, leaving $25, 000 of his fortuno to Anna Clara Ken noye, of Memphis, which in the event of her death, was to revert to his two neph ews, residents of Dubuque.

President Polk Maps It Out In An “Xjoyalty to Alliance Principle* I* the Only True Alliance Tert.” Bar* He. > ~_s Wabhikotoh, D. C., [Special.]—Pres ident Polk, of the Farmers1 Alliance, ha* just issued a proclamation to the Order in which he sets forth the plan of cam paign which the national executive board lias adopted for the next yeV- and counsels the Sub-Alliance to cease inter nal bickerings snd to get rid of disloyal members. This is the document: To the Brotherhood of the N. F. A. and I. U.: We are now approaching the most critical period in our existence as aa Order. The demoralizing elements which always enter into a political cam paign arc already beiug marshalled by the enemies of our Order, with a deter mined purpose to divide and disrupt us, if possible. No device or scheme will be left untried. Every effort will be made to divert the minds of the people from the great issues which are essentially the very life of our great reform movement. It was this knowledge of the situation that prompted the action of the-Nationai Legislative Council in maturing a plan for a lecture system and for presenting it to the Order for adoption. The ultimate, inevitable and triumphant success of our principles is assured, if this syslumbe ac tively and faithfully prosecuted for the American farmers and all other classes and interests which are so intimately re lated to them wtil not faif'to stand to gether for right, justice and equity, if properly informed. If prose-Aed as de signed, this system will engage the ser vices during the year of not less than 85 000 lectures in our cause. I earnestly invoke the aid and co-operation of the entire brotherhood in securing a faithful lecturer for every subordinate and coun ty Alliance and for every '~o»gressional district within the jurisdiction of oir Order throughout the whole country. Arrangements are also being made for the holding of two or more grand Al liance States during the year, or as many more as the brotherhood may desire Let us hare your active and earnest sym pathy in making this the great educa tional campaign yea- in our history, and thus be prepared to meet any emergency that may anse. ~ 1 ■ ' - Address. State and count* oincers especially arc earnestly admonished to puan this work in their respective jurisdiction* zealously. The enemy is actively on the alert It is his purpose to bny or control our press as far as possible. Failing in all this he will strive by every means, fool or fair, to create divisions and dissensions in out ranks. If a convention of the enemies of tbe National Farmers’ Alliance and Indus trial Union was called to devise a plan for the overthow and destruction of th«. order it would doubtless adopt, as th> most speedy and effectual, such method', as would create dissension and strif among the memberah'p. How eagerly and how exaultantly they hail the least indication of this I If an erring brother so far forgets his obligations to the or der as to assail its principles publicly he is heralded by the politicians and ths partisan press as a hero. If a paper which fias been designated a representa tive of the principles of our order proves false to the most sacred compact and as sails our members or our principles, it thereby gains speedy admittance to the respect and confidence of our enemies If influential or prominent members, dis regarding .their obligations to each' other and to the order, engage in a public per sonal warfare through the press or other wise, our enemies are abundantly satis fied. \ No member of our order has the right fa assail another member publicly through the press or otherwise, so long as their names ate on our roll of membership; Such an offense is a violation of his ob ligations, and should merit' expulsion. No paper vested with authority to rep resent officially has the right to assail our principles or any member of the oi der while acting in such a capacity. Cue',’ an offense should cause all true a’a ancctnen to repudiate such a paper promptly. No member while his nam remains on our rolls, has the right to as sail the principles or any member of the order publicly. He is not only perm’t ted. but is encouraged by our law, to d" cuss any and all measures coming within our province, with the utmost frrjdom and to any extent he may desire within the order. But the will of the majority if tb i law of the Order, and if he cannot acqiiese in the decision of the majority, ard feels that he is conscientiously compelled to go before the public and assail oui prin ciples, he should first divest himself of his alliance uniform. With what consis tency could a Baptist or Methodist >o ' before the world and public ly o, post and denounce some of its most cherished tenets of his church? How long would his name remain on his chureli b.-olt? How long ought it to remain there? Wiiv should he expect or desire to remain in the church? , Loyalty to alliance principles is the only fiue alliance teat, not only as to membership; but it should faithfully b« applied' in the selection’ of officers, fr 'it the steward in subordinate alliance ,o he president of the national , a'lianCA and it must be applied in the selection of those who are to make and execute pur laws, if we would reasonable hope for the reforms which we seek. Wo want no foes within our camp. We can live better without them than with them. Let the membership be watchful and faithful, and guard with untiring vigihmce and principles of ths Older. Never was the outlook for our cause so hopeful and encouraging. We have ouly to "be true to our principles, to .Utu obligations, and to our noble Order and all will he well. Fiaternally, L. L Fqi,k.

The HsH and Steele families have been at outs for a year. The Halls consisted of father and four sons, while the Steeles counted three able to bear arms. The four Hal: boys and two of the Steeles met at 'Squire Murphy’s office to transact some legal business. Each was armed -with rifles and revolvers. One' of fb*. Hall boys was on the stand and contra dicted a statement made by a st'cele. The lie was given and the battle was opened. The court room was quickly emptied of its occupants not in the troub le. About forty shots were fired, and when the smoke of the encounter cleared away the Steele boys, Samuel and Hiram, were found to have been kilted out right. L. W. Hall had a rifle ball through his brain and his brother Lewis, was badly wounded. The other two hive not been arrested, and will probably not' be as they are known tobedespi ratemen.

Stinginess costs more than extrava gance. The only real giver In the world to the cheerful giver. The virtues and vices sometimes live very close together. ; Nothing but death separate ‘True friends from each other. A good name to a good thing to have, irut a good heart to better. You can't tell much about erosity by reading hiswill. , The m*n whp tends the school of ex perience must pay his own bills. There is a goad deal of pure laziness that goes by the name of sickness. Many men have ended by becoming scoundrels, who began by running, in debt. ' The hardest of all things is to get a man to stop and look himself squarely it* the face.

The rarest mosaics mid even frescoes, the floors and walls of ancient houses long lost to sight, cups and vases, great amphorae, rich Samian ware, brace lets, armlets, pins, needles, remains' of dresses, and now and then bones and skulls, point out the site of the anoient city and the luxury or industry of its in habitants. Within the walls it is evidejt that much of the Italian refinement was transported to the banks of the Thames. Houses rich with ornament, churches and basilicas, baths adorned with frescoes and rich with mosaics, streets well paved, a forum south of Cornbill, with its pub lic buildings, its shops and its busy mul titudes, and a river covered with the commerce of the world are revealed tz us by the history and the relics of the past.—Picayune.
