We riivi recently received aa abstract o(
the Fifth Statist s! Report of the Interstate
Commeica Cotumlssion, in which it ia stated
fthat for the year ending July, 1802, more
miles of railway were constructed in North
Carolina than in any other State ; In the
v Union. This statemeut is very significant,
in view of the fact that three years ago it
v was held by many prominent citizens that
the institution of a State Railroad Commis-.
' sion would tend to discourage railway con
struction in this Stato. The fact that the
State mileage of railways has increased, and
that the increase has been greater than in
I atiy ether State, utterly destroys he force
I of such claims. ; We . believe that whether
the Commission has discouraged . railroad
magnates or not, it has been of vast advan
tage to the State at large.'and will bt come
more useful each year.
But aside from this significance, the state
ment is very encouraging to North Carolina
and those who have interests in this State.
It fehows that the possibilities of the State
are ieing recognized, and that1 the facilities
for tbeir development are being increased
in a secure and listing manner. More than
thi?, (! o increase in railway construction
f I'-ra r; to the world a new couatryand ;
brings it within the reach of civilization,
Macaulay says that next to the alphabet and
the printing press, the means of transporta
tion from one locality to another is the great
civilizer of man. Civilization has Droeress-
ed only bv travel and contact with alien in-
uucutcs. uieetH was me uiuHb xiviiiztu ui
the nations of antiquity because of her fa
vorable seaports. Just so to day the Intel
lectual quality of our State, as well as the
development of our resources, cannot ad
vance without the facilities of contact with
the outside world, from which a two fold
advantage proceeds t Oar State learns more
of the world, and has a wider advantage of
human progress, and the world learns more
of our State, and gives its products a broader
nse. we are glad that this rorwarci move
ment bas been made, and that it is an
nounced to the world; do greater advertise
ment could have been bought. : North Caro
lina will Boon cease to be called the poorest
of the "Original Thirteen,n and will even
tually .take the position which its natural
wealth merits, and its possibilities promise-r
second to none m tne union.
The problem of municipal government is
one that has received but little attention
from North Carolina people on account of
the small population of our cities, but the
time will come, if . present influences con
tlnue, when the welfare of the nation will
hang on the solution of this problem. When
we reflect that one large city has more rep
resentatives in Congress, and casts a larger
vote for President than pur .State, it will be
seen that the exercise of purity in the con
duct of municipal affairs is of .grave impor
tance. This will be a nation of great cities
In another century, probably sooner, and
they will control tne destinies of tne nation,
and if they are controlled by " bosses" and
the " machine," as New Yoik and Brook
lyn are to day, this will be a country of
"bosses," and the cost of living, dangers to
to public welfare, and the burden of taxa
tion, will be proportionately increased. The
fact that city residents can be very easily
reached, . and that city population is to a
large extent politically : debased, and con
trollable by bribery, makes the operation of
the machine ' a great deal easier - than in
sparsely settled communities. As far as
municipal interests are concerned, National
political platforms should have no signifl
cance....City government' is entirely differ
ent from National government, and the
main planks of the platform of a candidate
should be low taxationr preservation of
health, and good police protection. We
cannot awake too soon to the importance of
this problem. We cannot begin too early
to encourage purity in ; the conduct of the
affairs of our smaller cities,' that whatever
evil influence may have, taken root, be ; it
ever so insignificant may be promptly de
stroyed. For good municipal government
will mean good JNatlonal government before
many years ; the converse of which state
ment is equally true. - - . -
It is a strange-way the passing genera
tion have of depreciating the callings to
which they have given their lives. . As
Horace Greely began to fail, he looked back
on his life, that seems to many so remark
ably successful and brilliant, and said that
in many respects it had been a failure, and
that, i' 06 were a D07 flSan journalism, of
which he is the recognized father," and poli-1
tics, in which he was honorable, if not suc
cessful, should have no part in his existence.
Edwin Booth, after spending his life in an
effort to elevate the stage, died warning the
rising generation against it. We think his
warning salutary; but cannot understand
how one who was as successful as hfe could
turn his back upon the profession in which
he attained honor, fame and wealth. In a
recent great daily appeared a symposium of
opinions as to the attractions of political
life from the standnoint of those who had
spent their lives before the, people, and
wbose success bad been most marKed. With
but one exception the opinions were against
politics as a sphere of life. Hon. Jno. Sber
mm, who is the recognized leader of the
Republican party, whose word has shap d
the financial policy of our government for
a quarter of a century, who, of all politi
ciaus to day in office may ba regarded as the
most successful, says ; V I would not advise
any young man to embark in politics." . We
believe the advice is good, but can't Under
stand it, coming as it does from one who
has won fame, honor, and made a great for
tune in his political career. ' Surely, if such
men as he dislike politics as a life's work,
that profession : must be .avoided by the
young man of to day, against whom the
chances are one hundred to one that he will
fail of his ambition. "None can. count on
success in political life, but we should all be
politicians in the true sense or tne wora, as
students of the science of government
None can "know too well how to vote, and
none can study statesmanship too much, for
in the development of the forces and the
means of government lies the future of tbe
world, and the greater the progress made
the better will be the condition of the people
of the earth. , - : , ,,
Look on the Fields.
BT BEV. J. R. JONES, MILTON, N. C.
" Behold. I say unto vou. Lift un vour eves, aild
look on the fields ; for they are-wlute ab-eady to
narvest." jonn 4 : oo.
! " Jeans, and his disciples were on their way
from Judeato Galilee. Late one afternoon
they came near to the town of Sycbar, and
stopped at Jacob's wellj and Jesus being
tired sat down on tbe curbing of the well to
rest, while the disciples went into the town
to buy something to eat. f It was here that
the circumstance took: place tnat gave rise
to the Scripture that f have chosen for a
text this morning. While Jesus was there
resting, a woman came out from the town
to the well for water ; and Jesus, ever ready
to do good, entered into a conversation with
her that resulted in her conversion. She at
once returned to the town and told the new s
"Come see a man," said fhe, "that told me
all things that ever I did : is not this the
Christ f! The news spread, acd soon great
crowds began to move out from the town to
where Jesus was to see and to near mm.
While Jesus was looking on these crowds,
and thinkiDg of their spiritual condition,
and of what an opportunity there was then
of preaching the gos pel to them, and doing
them good, his disciples were trying to get
him to take something to. eat. I5ut be re
plied to them, ' I have meat that ye know
not or;" and as tney seemea curious to Know
where he had gotten food, he said in expla
nation, 44 My meat is to do the will of him
that sent me, and .to finish his work. Say
not ye, there are yet four months, and then
cometh harvest. Behold, I say unto you,
lift up your eyes, atd look on the fields; for
they are white already to harvest."
This text, as you see, was an exhortation
to the disciples, and so it may be to you and
to ' me. Let as regard it as euch, and
heed it.
I. Let us Vft vp our (yea The great
trouble with many Christians is they do not
Bo this. They go through the world-with
their eyes down. Tbty seem satisfied with
being interested only iu the little aflaiis that
are temporal, and immediately about them
selves. The matter about which the disci
ples seemed mostly concerned, was of very
little immediate importance, compared with
the opportunity then present of accomplish
ing a great work; and yet it so engaged their
attention that they most likely had not
thought of the 'spiritual condition and needs
of tbe people that were gathering about
them, and of what a good time it was, to
preach to them. Not so with the Master;
The sight of those Samaritans stirred his
soul; and as he thought of what they needed,
he was willing to put a&idia his own bodily
comfort for the sake of doing them good.
To preach to them at that time the Word of
eternal life, was, in his estimation, of much
greater importance, and to him a greater
pleasure tnan tne satisfying ot ms present
hunger. But that was like the Saviour,
i Selfishness is one of the main causes of the
indifference on the part of so many of the
Lord s people towards the work he has given
them to do. Such Christians do not lift up
their eyes. They live in self and for self.
In all their thinking and planning, self occu
pies so large a place that there-is scarcely
room for the consideration of others. Their
minds are so absorbed in the affairs pertain
ing to their own interests, that they give
but little, if any, thought to the welfare of
others. It seems to me that, of all people,
Christians should be the most publio-spir-ited,
the most unselfish. The great central
truth of the Christian religion teaches ns to
live for others ; and the example set by the,
blessed Saviour,' who " though rich, yet for
our sakes became poor, that we through his
poverty might be rich," imp sses the lesson
upon us. He lived a life oj self-denial and
sacrifice for others. He died that others
might live- Now holding such a truth, and
having such, an illustration of it, how can it
be otherwise expected tnan tnat unnstians
Bhould have a more exalted conception of
life than the low motion that we are to live
only for self? Let us look at his life and
learn how to live. -1 believe that, if it were
tested, the common . verdict of mankind
would be, he that lives most for others lives
noblest. - . . v t .
Of course, our temporal matters must be
attended to. . There are duties we owe to
Ourselves and families, a neglect of which is
sinful. We must be "diligent in business.''
The more of tins world s goods we nave, tne
more we can do for the Master. . But all our
labor must be done with an eye single to his
clorv S for if it is otherwise, selfishness will
grow upon us until it will; become difficult
for us to feel interested in any enterprise, in
which self is not prominent as a beneficiary,
however laudable it may bt, or necessary to
the interest of tne country.
We are not alone in the world, others are
here with us; and we are so related to them
that we do violence to the common instinct
of mankind to try ,to live alone, or in other
ward3, selfish lives, to say nothing of tne
spirit of ,Christianity.we trample underfoot.-
Brethren. Jet us lift up our eyes, and thinK
of the great work, the spiritual uplifting of
man, there is to be done; and let us live less
for self, and more for Christ and humanity.
But as no Christian can have large, liberal
views of Christian duty, unless he knows
something of the amount, and need of the
work to bo done, we must ; ; ,. . 'i '
. 2. Look on' the fields. . Our Lord , never
failed to call the attention of his disciples to',
the magnitude of ftM work in which they ;
were engaged, and to tha fact that out be-1
ydnd were fields to be cultivated. 44 The
harvest," said be, 44 is great, and the labor
ers are few;" and again, 44 The field is the
world." If we would see the work to be
done, and the pressing need of earnest and
faithful effort on our part, we must lookout
on the fields, must inform ourselves. Our
duty is not done trhen we have read our
Bibles. We might read them until we have
worn them out, and still be ignorant of the
spiritual condition of the various peoples of
tne world, and of the opportunitu s, as they
are orougnt a bout in the providences of uod,
of preaching the gospel to them. These
things must be learned from other sources
Whether or not this nation or that have the
religion of the Bible, we learn from those
wno snow something o them.
I said awhile ago that one cause of .the
indifference of the Lord's people towards his
wors wassejnbhness. Another cause is want
of information. It goes without saying that
one will not feel any interest in anything
that he knows little or nothing about. For
instance, the brother that knows nothing of
the millions of China that are groping in
densest darkness vill not do anything for
their evangelization, jno w the Saviour says
to you and tome: Lift up your eyes and
look on the fields ; and he will not hold ns
guitless, if we can, and fail to do it.
But how are we to look on the fields t
Well, I thank the Lord, that we are blessed
with abundant facilities for doing so. Re
ligious ; and missionary books, magazines,
6apers, &c, are numerous and in our reach.
y means of these we may learn about the
spiritual condition of the various nations,
and-their needs, and keep ourselves posted
in regard to the progress of the gospel jn
them. They tell us what has been done,
what is being done, and what needs to be
done. These facilities being in our reach,
and knowing how the information they give
would afftct ns, I believe it to be the duty
of Christians to use them. - If we can get
information that would inspire greater zeal
and liberality in ns, and do not do it, the
fault is ours ; and in the judgment we need
not plead ignorance of the demands that
were upon ns in excuse for not having done
more for the glory of God. Such excuse
1 will not be occeptable; for he will know that
we might have known of the demands but
for wilful failure to use the means of look
ing on the fields, I regard this information
of such serious necessity that I bel eve it
to be our duty to get it even if we have
to make some sacrifice to get it. The
question, brethren, of taking a religious
newspaper is not one of helping the editor,
but of helping ourselves to the knowledge
that will make us more useful as Christian
workers, and a greater blessing to the world.
The most of us are too poor to travel over
the fields, -and-witness .vx. person, the .work
that is being done, and tbe work that needs
to be done, information that would doubt
leas fire us with zeal; but in the providence
of God, we can, by the expenditure of a few
dollars, stay at home and still look on the
fields. -
' Now, brethren, let us do this, and we
shall be stimulated and encouraged, for
- 8. The fields are white to harvest. ... This b
what the Saviour said to his disciples that
afternoon when, he saw the crowds of Sa
maritans coming out to him; and may not
the same thing be said to day ? - It does
seem, as we read the news from all parts of
the world where the Lord's people are at
work, that the time has come for us to take
hold of the work with renewed courage, and to
5iush it with greater vigor than ever before,
i'rom all parts of our own country reports
are full of encouragement. Tens of thou
sands are turning to God every year; from
the highways and hedges they are coming
into the fold. Mr. Moody said, in one of
his talks in Chicago a few weeks ago, that
he 44 had the conviction that this country is
ripe for one of the greatest religious awak
enings it has ever seen." Door after door
has been opening into the heathen nations
of the world, until now only one is closed
against the missionary of the Cross, and that
onevill soon open. From all these coun
tries, Thibet excepted, the Macedonian cry
Is heard, 44 Come oyer and help us." ShalJ
we go to their help! One of the best posted
men in America on missions said a few years
ago: 4 'The doors have actually been open
ing too fast and too soon for the churches to
go in and take possession." Another com
petent witness : pays:. 44 Tbe heathenism of
India, Burmah, China and Japan is giving
way, before the increasing power of Western
thought and Christian civilization." A Hin
doo priest said to a missionary; 44 Sir, Hin
dooism is doomed, it must go by the board,
and I must have some eighty miles to ask
what you are colus; to give us In its place. v
So the news from these strongholds of hea
thenism bids us ttike courage. While the
reports fro mi the Dark Continent, Africa, at
present are not so encouraging as they are
from other, fields, yet the prospects are hope
ful: and we may see great ingatherings or
souls from that benighted land. Toe island
of Cuba is comifTg out from under Roman
Catholic domination 'Only seven or eight
years ago Baptists began work there, and
during this time more than two thbusand
communicants have been gathered into
seven or eight churches. One of the best
and most imposing buildings in the city of
Havana is a Baptist house of worship. , la
Mexico, another Roman Catholic country,
huudrediof tho people aro being converted
to the true faith every year. In every mis
sion field, both Fajran and I'apal, thero are
perishing souls ready to hear the old Etory
of the Cross. ;
' Brethren, wake lip, and let us lift up our
eyes and look on the field?, for 11
white ah eady to harvest. '

Well, this is just the thing that this liik

perhaps indifferently; still waiting, reve'r
