CAROLINA - I 'i It should fill our hearts with deepest gratitude to review the tist .history of our State for the,, last 15,000, and ihey were' scattered and I not organized fOr united effort. We j now behold a vast army and while we may not oe doing au tnat we can or ought to do, yet this mighty host is earnestly at work to extend , the Mas- ter's kingdom What a' work God haa wroughtyfor the Baptists of North Carolina ; during these -fifty years ! I And yet we should not think that our work is done' and our mission ful filled. There is a great work for us to do, and God presents a bright fu- ture for the. Baptists ot lhis State, wvwu i derstood, prejudice against us is pass ing away in many places, and the growth of tho denomination was never more rapid and the Baptists more ac re! y at work than at present i' This gives great promise and our outlook is bright, and we need only to cling to the cross, trust God and labor earn estly and God will bless in the future as in the past. And yet we might take heed to some thoughts and profit t hereby. .;We should studiously avoid all divisions and strife. When these come the spirit of Christ departs. In -some States the Baptist cause ha3 been thrown back fifty years by introduc ing dissensions among themselves. Parties and party leaders arise and trouble must come. :Let us in North Carolina carefully avoid all these let us not become men-worshippers,1 and divide and devour one i; another for the sake of some man and his hobby. We may well omit the discussion of those subjects that have been decided or that cannot be decided or that amount to nothing, it matters not how this may be decided. , Let us preach Christ crucified and be satis fied with the grand "old, old story' : without introducing that which tends to evil. ' . . What is the duty of the Baptists in North Carolina, that they may con-1 tinue to prosper ? This is a weighty question and it may seem to be im pertinent in any one to attempt its. answer, and yet we wish to propose some suggestions. . 1. While we should seek to be sound in tne laitl,.we should Beek also to raise a iigh standard of morality and piety: - We should put great value on iuiC) ijniucH wuiuuau vuauroutcf. All immorality in our lives and in our business Bhould, be strictly avoided and disciplined. .Let this point be remembered and let our pastors preach on it , - 2. The Baptists should give special attention to the Sunday school work, r;-:.-:.i ba u-J', ,r- iiiuiciiiu jjkiucauuu auu otate ixllS sions. Of course we expect them, to contribute to Foreign Missioiis; bnt we are now speaking of our home work. .

With'; large ", Sunjjay schools we may expect to see the churcnes prosper. We must have ministers to. preach i the gospel and 1 have such ' that the people - will hcar respect and follow. There is a wide spread interest in the State on educa--tion. ' Ignorance' can not be regarded as a virtue and men must be informed if the people are to be taught? by them. - The', education of ouryoung . ministers is making encouraging prcK gress at . Wake Forest College, ? but there are many young, brethren to-day who ought to be there. , This cpsts money and if our ministers are ever; prepared for their work the churches must r furnish the means. Let every church; and every member dd some thing to aid in this good work5that the present generation may supply the next with an able and efficient minis-; There are many places in our State where the Baptists'; are unknown, "or at leaston.jjartialiy may expect to find a prejudice against us m such places. What can be done for those communities wheTe; there - are no Baptist churches and yery few if any Baptists? f The State Jlissioa Board proposes ttT collect funds from " the ehuxehes fend tend able and wor a tenabl. and wor - thy n:a ts hVs fields.

I We should not be satisfied with what we are doing, but seek to enlarge our work every year. We ought to aim to have more ministerial students at Wake Forest, and more missionaries in the State, every year. This will require much faith, prayer, sacrifice and liberality. : Our . college should be endowed that it may be prepared to meet the increased demands that must come upon it. Our Education, State Mission, and Sunday School Boards should be liberally supported, and thus,7 with the work enlarged every year,' what w.iTl the Baptists of I North Carolina be fifty years hence ? OUR POSITION.

If thinks that there is no need of writing the" life of an' "average mau" and the people will not read the book if it should .be written.; It closes : thus ": "Biographical literature of the right kind will never ceaso'o be fin demand ; but the Memoirs of UieRevj'Mr. This, the Hon. Mr. That, and the estimable Mrs. Tother, are neither in demand now nor ever will be They art merely proof of ;the misjudgment of the people who. write them, and a long suffering public gets its revenge by refusing to read them. , 'Let' the. sensible people pet their faces against this tendency to write a book about every tenth man or woman who dies, and make their influence felt for good taste and common sense in this: matter of biographies, before the evil becomes greater. One can hare too much of a good thing." N. : . . . .The supplemental Christian is a ne ces8lty The church could not get on with out; him.1 .He is the opposite of the mini, mum Christian, who does and gives si little as be Canute studies how, to getoff;;as cheaply as ' possible. ; The supplemental Christiaa is the man, who does aU he can to lake up for the shbrtcomings of the shirk, era. His measure of service is the measure of need As much as in me is, is his motto. He keeps back no part of tne , price. Ac cording to his ability he holds himself res ponsible to the Master,; What is done by others is no standard for him.; He rises above the dead level. These, supplemental Christians are 'needed .everywhere, the minimum Christians swell ' the census of bur-churches, but clog the wheels of ' Its en terprises. They "discourage one another, and try the patience of the faithfuLrThey chill the church with the coldness of their frozen souls. The difference between these two -torts of ' Christians ii this:; the one serves God from f eari j thi other frbmlove. The one is a fcemni,pwe o"ther a son. 4The one gires what he mast; the other . all he can; . This entire consecration,, this perfect love that casts out fear and Impels to a ser vice that fixes nb limits to doing and giving.
