Thb great scope of legislation that con fronts the Fifty-fourth Congress vrM proba bly make it the most prominent set of legis lator that has ever assembled at Washing ton. In the recent extraordinary session ' the most retiring of the law-makers, were - brought before the people; some for. .praise,: many for abuse. Tbeyareall already well knswn throughout the land. And now as they assemble in regular session they are threatened with a seige of popular petitions for radical changes in onr national laws which promises to keep them in the.public eye until next fall. In view of this, it be-; comes Congress in the beginning to oil Its , Internal machinery that its dealings1 with: national matters may be more expeditious than in the extraordinary session. In our opinion no time would be lout in a revision ;0f its parliamentary rules, with a view to preventing the contingency that made the session .dangerous and disgraceful., inia may be accomplished by providing a limit to all, discussions, or empowering a majority to ' call the question." With such . safeguard ' against filibustering and ob-' strsction, the work on the proposed tariff -the income tax, the Federal election laws, ; the State bank tax, pension revision, the matter of finance, and possibly an aflti op 5 mob measure, all of'., which, questions, and a5n7 tbers of 'scarcely less importance,' wiii be broached, and proWably disposed of Jja this session, will be greatly facilitated. xaese questions having occupied , the popu lar attention for two years, now being well known over the length and 'breadth of the land, and having made many warm parti sans pro and con, brings this Congress into .unusual prominence. At Its majority is Democratic, it may be said that the future or , mas party o wm ne determined by the treatment which these questions receive. It is now in the power of the dominant party to retrieve its fortunes, all bub lost. or. to seat us (ate rorever. vm the opportunity os emoracea i 1 -p-- - ; The voluminous message of the President to Congress is one of the most eomprehen slve documents of its kind that we have ever seen; It is far less bold, and is more conservative than was Cleveland's first mes sage to Congress. Still, taken altogether, it is a strong document, and is weak only in the removal of the heretofore prominent personality 'of our Chief Executive.' Onr limited space will not permit of more than ine merest ouuine 01 . me . message. , s itei, onr foreign! relations are reviewed at length; and are stated to be gratifying, i The Presl dent refers to international arbitration, and expresses his pleasure that the United States and Great, Britain have manifested senti ments favoring " rational and Deaceable set dement of international quarrels bv honor able resort to arbitration." Next, the sub ject of finance is treated, and valuable sta tlsticsare brought forth. treasury defi ciency, of t28.O00.000 bv next Jane is antici pated, and more definite laws in regard to me issuance oi oonaa are recommended. Perfect confidence is expressed that the re peal of the Sherman Act. will ultimately nave a "most salutary and far Machine" effect, though ignorance of " what,' if any, supplementary legislation" win be "essen tial or expedient" is confessed. Cleveland still hopes for an international agreement in regard to coinage. Next, valuable recom mendations aa to the strengthening of our army are made, though just now it is thought best not to make any appropriations to the navy. : It is recommended wisely that the i fee system as applicable to the com pensation of United States attorneys, mar- snaiSj-cierxs or. f ederal courts,"; &c, be abolished. A serious deficit in the receipts of the pqstoffice department is f oondV and it la recommended as a remedy that less free matter be carried through the mails. Civil service reform is highly endorsed, and an extension of the reform is contemplated. Not i . : t - 1 mended. and onlv the intention to ferret out and expose frauds in the matter is exoressed J It is shown that the present way of.allow-f ing legislators to sena seeas, &a, to their constituents is abusive of the original law and a useless expense. Hereafter the PresH dent advises that seeds be sent onlv to asri4 cultural experiment stations! Finally, econ omy in appropriations la very wisely urged noon uoncress. the new tarm bill is en dorsed, and approval of a temporary " tax upon incomes derived from certain corpor ate investments." is expressed. ' We are disappointed that Cleveland was not more definite in his. treatment of future financial legislation, broader in his idea of an income tax, and that he neglected to ex press ois views on ine question or we re peal of the State bank tax. Thi proposed tariff measure necessarily embraces many hundred articles, and is far too extensive not to aaeet every locality or this country, Hence it will belhe subject of much local abuse and approval It is certainly not a radical measure, and isfar4 ther from being a free trade instrument ;han one of protection. That its duties warn nnfc 1nwni la a rliaannrtinfmAnt (:a tnanv that they are as low as they are is a matter of much embarrassment to not a few. The most striking features of, the proposed bill are the large free list, and the rather unex- nected ehanca from a snefiifio to an ad a- lorem tax. 'Almost all raw material is ad mitted free, a boon to the manufacturer and the consumer, and not a : hardship tot the ifamaaHn nrndnrAr. TherA are. v AfltimateJ .1 . . i - . j 1 .1 lex. i the most prominent of .which are coal, iron ore, lumber and wool, farm materials vital ly necessary to manufacturing industries.; In this it is seen that the bill Is inteuded to advantage the poor man. the consumer. But we have more welrfhtv testimony to this in the change from the specific tax to the ad valorem.: Perhaps a definition would be wise. According to Wayland "epeciflo du ties are certain sums charged on articles, bu tht piece, the pound, the yard, ' the gallon: Ac. without reference to value. Aa va lorem duties are indioated by a defined per centage of the value of each class of goods,) as named in the importers invoice. For instance, suppose the duty laid on tea to be ten cents per pound," without regard to price. - Now those who buy a poorer quality of tea, at, say, thirty cents per pound, pay one-third tax, and those who boy a better quality aV say, $1 00 per pound, pay only one tenth tax. (Wayland.) The advantage 6f ad valorem duties is obvious. But the framers of the McKinley bill believed that thongh the ad valorem tax was more just, it was impossible to enforce it, while there is ! but little trouble in enforcing specific duties! Measure and weight cannoU be concealed. while the price of many things is very diflk vui aovc taiu, auu in Home instances can set be ascertained without the assistance and the co-operation of the buyer or Beller. either of whom could easily make false rep resentations.; But a Just law should not be abandoned because there is difficulty in ec forcing it, and injustice, in its stead, should never be resorted to, . ... ;j (we hope, the bill may. become a law as soon as possible. , This is one question on which popular sentiment is not doubtful; having expressed itself very strongly a year, ago. Delays are al ways dangerous, and a delay, a suspense, in a matter so vital to onr, business interests, ; would? tend ; to bring about a condition of affairs worse than that which surrounded us this summer and fall; A Layman Studies ia the.

Two cities of the ancient world stand in vitil connection with Christianity, Jerusa lem and Rome.- In the one are focused its retrospective relations, its prospective in the other., In the development and. spread of Christianity during, the; first, century,, no name approaches in importance that oi Paul. and it is precisely through its influence upon his career that Borne acquired its deep Chris-f tian significance, rt-jf'.,,v , , , j Rome determined the career of Paul- made it possible as. well . aa ended it He was born under the protection of its nniver sal law, the activities of his manhood were' pot forth in its great Subject cities, and, if we may trust an early tradition, it was from. its dungeons beneath the Camtol that he; went forth to his death " without the gate" which is now called oy his name, av i The administrative polltv of the Koman emperors was from the first to extend erad ually the privileges of citizenship to the provinces. So that at the time of which I write, the imperial city was fast exchanging her position as the mistress of the world for the more honorable one of the world's capi tal, ttut in a period which, as regards art and political greatness, was perhansvthe most Brilliant epoch of humanity, she was stui the centre or its energies, attracting an and Swaving all from the Straits of Gibral tar to the Euphrates, and from the Scottish border and the Danube to the African Desert, The outward circumstances Of the Empire were favorable to Pauls mission. ,1 may barely mention several particulars. The system of Roman law. which has been the blessing and the marvel of succeeding civili zations, seems te nave been administered in remote provinces with the same care as in the capital cit v. Indeed, the provinces were often loyal and happy, while Rome itself groaned under the terror of s the immediate presence of Tiberius, xiruAius, or .Nero.; And. excent roossiblv in the tsemi barbarous district of Ualatia, raui was never beyond the reachjof its influence. 'Again, the Empire secured universal peace among all the nations and tribes of its wide dominions. Panl went to and fro, "in jonrneyings often," but he never crossed the track of war. ;. Moreover, the comfort, safety, and speed of travel in this period are without parallel in all history, if we except the present century. Diverging from the golden milestone in the Forum, a network of great roads, mapped and meas ured, bound together the vast territory. It was safe to travel m any direction at any hour, wife M'txfi- But still more Important to the success of the Apostle's mission than these external conditions was that inward disposition, that cosmopolitan feeling and sense of interde-; Jtendence engendered and developed by the usion of bo many separate nationalities in one political body. The administrative uni form tv of the Emoire prepared a congenial soil for the reception of Paul's message of the all-comprehending Kingdom of uod. How Paul's father obtained the distinction; of the Roman citizenship is ' not known.; Possibly by 'a large sum": possibly as a re ward for some marked service of the Em peror." ' The son inherited it, and in after. years counted it a dignity;' Understood its privileges, and on more than two occasions owed his life to its protection (Acts 22: 2iy 23 ! 10. 20-24: 23 i 85. 11. 12).

'' . Onlv the' main charge : preferred against him need be mentioned here.. "Who, moreover, assayed to profane the temple," said Tertullus to Felix the procurator (Acts 24:6). The Roman law formally recognized the Jewish law that no Gentile should be An abstract of this paper appeared in the Sep-. tember Jlaptist Teacher allowed to enter the inner court of the teun pie, and punished with death any one, even a Roman citizen,' who violated it. The Jews knew that the procurator would take cogni-; zance of such a charge, and so rested their case largely upon it But even on the sup position that their story was true, the charge was not valid against Paul, since it was not he, but Trophimus who had viohted ; the special enactment (Acts 21: 29).. -T-;-?"f About A. D. 60, Paul,: who had now linv gered two years In bonds in Csesarea, found himself before the judgment-seat of Portius Festus, the successor of Felix.. For a pro vincial not possessed of . the Roman citizen ship the finding of such a tribunal was final. A Roman citizen might of his own accord submit himself to it, as Paul at first did.! The transference oi the proceedings to Rome would bring no advantage, unless there was reason to fear the local pressure or to ques4 tion the impartiality of the governor. Bnt Paul soon perceived that he would be sacri4 ficed tthe wishes of the Jews, and, possi bly after a momentary , recollection of his late vision in Jerusalem (Acta 23: 11), he availed himself of the privilege of appealing to the Emperor. , r;." -" ; v At last, after many longings (Rom. 15; 23; 1: 13 Acts 19: 21), in the spring of 61 the Apostle to the Gentiles found- himself in( Rome,' the centre and head of the Gentilo world. He entered by the Appian Way,? an : avenue of magnificent tomb, passed under the Porta Caoena. soon cans-ht fSoht of the Palace of the Csesars on the Palatine, and just beyond It the throbbing centre of the world's activities, the Roman Fornm, with the glorious temple of Jupiter crown. ing the abrupUslopes of t the Capitoline and Closing in the splendid prospect.. The pris-. Oner was delivered by Julius to Burrus, Pre lect or the rraHonan uuard, stationed in the vicinity. Nero had been Emperor nearly; six years, and the first, mild period of his reign bad already passed into the later frenzy of .brutality and crime. The city contained a closely crowded population of perhaps two million larger than New xorx one half or whom were slaves. I The severe morals of Republican Rome were now quite forgotten. The example of the imperial household had spread like a vile infection through all the social orders to the lowest Family ties were barely recognizable. Seneca, who was ad viser to Nero when Paul arrived, exclaims i 41 There is a struggle to see which can excel In iniquity. Daily the appetite for sin in creases, the sense of shame diminishes.'. The wealth of all lands gravitated into the capital and quickly vanished in the provis ion of food and hows for the idle masses, or was transformed into luxurious pub' and private structures whose; remains are to this day the admiration of the world. ' Paul could not have been surprised by the moral decrepitude which advertised itself on every hand. Had he not himself drawn three years before, in the letter to the Romans, a more terrible picture than Seneca's of the contemporary heathen world t v, . ... we have to thanit the just and humane Barrns how shines a fair name in such a time 1 for the mild restraints put upon the. Apostle. A long, ' light ' chain bound ; the prisoner's right wrist to a soldier's left wrist, soldier relieving soldier at regular Intervals. ; The first three days in Rome Paul appears to have spent as a goest in the house possi bly of one of the Christians who had gone Out forty miles on the Appian -Way to wel come him. For the remainder of the impris onment he was allowed to rent apartments In one of the several-storied tenement houses (insula) that made up the greater part of I the city. All persons bad free access to him, and they sometimes came to him In great numbers (Acta 28: 23), to whom he taught "the things (Concerning the, Lord Jesus Christy with all boldness, unmolestedly.'? But he could not go abroad with the soldier that guarded him. He was confined to "his own- hired d welling. But even tnis t re straint was greatly mitigated bv the com panionship of brethren whom he loved Luke, Timothy, Demas, Mark, and others. ' ;: The most important feature of bis prison activities related to the oversight and devel opment of those who had believed through his word in other places, Messengers from the churches that be had planted relieved now and then the tedium of his confinement. assisted him in meeting his expenses, and, in come cases carried back letters which have been ever since the guide and inspira tion of Christian life. ; Possibly Ephesians, Colossians and Philemon, and certainty Phi lippians belong to this period. ' ; ; And so passed two whole years." The long-delayed hearing of the cause by Nero in the spring of 63, seems to have resulted In the acquittal of the Apostle. As to his sub' sequent history there is great uncertainty. After various journeys and the writing of I Timothy and Titus, he appears to have been apprehended and brought to Rome, a second time "the prisoner of Christ Jesus." Rome does not now intervene for the pro tection of her citizen against the persecuting JW. She takes herself the role of perse cutor and sends him to his martyrdom. Even in this extremity Paul must have been grateful for his membership in the Roman State, i Instead - of ; the wild beasts of the arena, or the lingering torture of crucifixion, ' it was the quick stroke of the Roman sword that released him from the infirmities of age and the cruelties of " evil men."" And thus the great Apostle passed into that " Rome whereof Christ is a Roman." '- - W. L. ' POTEAT. j Wake Forest College. . Do not openly reprove private faults. ? The Forward Movement .

Our own Foreign Mission Board at Rich- . mond has just sent out a plain statement of the condition of our work in foreign coun tries. They tell us that we have no w in our service about one hundred missionaries end. eighty native helpers . ,Their support, with necessary travellingexpensee, rents and other aids to their t ffi.iency, costs' over. $10,000 a month. The receipts of the Board since May 1st (exclusive of gifts to Chapel Fund) have been $30,000 less tban the ex penses, which added to, the liabilities re ported on the 1st of last May (tiO,C00),. makes a debt of 140,000. , The interest tbey have to pay on this amount would support, several additional missionaries., ' ; , ; The Board earnestly desire to raise from the churches during the month of Deci mber this $40,000 in addition to the. regular cur-. -rent expenses.;: This would Seem to be a very large amount if it were to be collected from one State, but when divided up among, all the white churches in the Southern Bap tist Convention, the amount would te small' for each-church in comparison with our fcbility even In this financial crisis. North Carolina is more largely represented by men and women among the missionaries of this Board than any other State. Twenty of the one hundred missionaries, or just one fifth of: the Whole number under appoint ment, are our own native men and women. It would be a graceful thing if our 1,500 white churches would undertake the entire support of these twenty servants of God. It. would not require, on an average, more than $16 00 a year, or about $1.35 a month from each Church, all the churcfte in the State could be reached., ' But this is unattainable. , Unfortunately a very small prope r'.ion of Cur church members have been in the habit of making regular contributions to any ob-. ject outside of ' their own congregatP r, and many of them give but very little to sop port their own preachers. God has greatly; honored the North Carolina Baptists la tak ing from among us so many noble men and women to carry the gospel to those who- have it not.': If we add to the twenty tinder . appointment of the Board at Richmond,, those who have identified themselves with, what is known ss tbe'Goepel China Mis sion,' viz , Bofctick, Herring, Crocker, .Bla -iock and Royall, we have from this State alone twenty-five missionaries in foreign field?,' and we ought to give as a thank oil ering to God not less than $25,000 a year for' Foreign Missions. - ; If the more than 150,000 white Baptists of the whole State would agree to give to this cause the extra amounts that they spend for their own Thanksgiving and Christmas din ners, we could raise this amount without any trouble. If every Baptist farmer would set apart one acre of land and cultivate it in any one of ther. money crops cotton, tobac co, strawberries, garden-peas, or potatoes , every Baptist merchant devote his profit ior two days In the year, and every Baptist to the ;Lord'j cause, we could double our . number of i -igrx and State missionaries and give to eatT one a comfortable support. Is this more than we ought to do for Lip . who hath died for us, and who upholieth b.l things by the word of his power! Is a day's labor too much for the poor man to give to him "who, thongh he was rich, yet for our. sakes became poor that we through his pov erty might be mada rich'"? Brethren, we have been playing with the . commission and bragging about onr cum bers long enough. We have been slumber ing while the heathen were perishing. Itis high time that we awake out of sleep and begin tar witness for Christ nnto the utter: most parts of the earth, 7hen a laying hen, , set apart for mission purples, will make & , larger contribution to missions than a whole church, the very cackling of the hens around "our homes ought lb arouse us to a sensa of our obligations to, the heathen, a Paul, in writing to the Romans, said, "I am debtor both to the Greeks, and to the barbarians, . both to the wiser and to the nnwise.
