He la well qualified, and we hope the people will help him make a exeat school for our cause in all that country. The Recorder especially appreci ates the sending of new subscribers re cently Rev. W. G. Hall, of Plymouth: Rev. M. P. Davis, of Saow 'Hill, and Rev. J. H. Rich, of Baihaven. Such kinJ nesses are always appreciated, and never more so than at this season. ......It' was-a pleasure to see Rev. W. Bonnie-Daughtry in Raleiarh last week. We had hoped that he would 'settle in North Carolina. Bit he has accepted a callto the Eastern ' Shore of Virgina, Etstville and other churches. He will adorn the Old Dominion. If every church will raise its share of the Century Fund, it will- he an easy matter to raise 1100,000. It is said that Atlas could never have carried the earth on his shoulders if he. had stopped to think about its eizs or to weigh it.

All the pastors and several ot the laymen have helped In the work Bpaakmg of the tent, Bro. Pullen said his idea was to follow Lot's example in just thU one thing, and pitch his tent toward Sod m!

Wheat, oats and tobacco and fruit are bringing in money to some of the Recorder's friends, upon whomwe have waited this trying summer, will not these friends look at their labels, and if it is in order, give us a lift just now! ' ......The Recorder is glad to omit nu merous news notes this week and print some letters, the publication of which unusual conditions have delayed. This week our staff will oe reduced, the editor going to several Associations beyond the Blue Ridge.auJ letters, ready-made news notes and the like will be unusually ap preciated. ,;, Mars Hill College now issues a lit tle paper called Mars Hill Notes. May it do its work well. We regret that we could not attend the ' Mars Hill Confer ence; but we could not. If one of the brethren. Moore, Johnson or woodall or his wife will write us a letter about the meeting, we are sure our readers will eDjoy it. Prof. B. F. Sledd, of Wake Forest, poet and man. is paying a part of the debt of the colleges to the free schools. He is only a local committeeman. Bat he is working up an i leal public school at Wake Forest; and lat week' he was here helping the County Superintendent and the State Superintendent. The free schools need nothing so much as the help of such a man. At Wake Forest last weekeneo the most valuable young men in our de nomination and one of its 1 ovc liest daugh ters were united in marriage: we speak of Mr. Robert Lee Hardi(on, of Wades bo ro, and Miss Bessie Pritchard, of Wake Forest, but who has been teaching in the Pee Dee Institute. Pastor Love, of Wadeeboro, performed the Tceremony. These good friends have our best wishes and hearty congratulations. Rev. John R. Moore writes from Yanoeyville: "The first revival of the season, held in our Association, 'was closed last Tuesday at Providence church. It began second 8unday. Rev. P. G. Elsom, of North D3nville, came to help us Monday nd preached twice a day until the close. The Lord was with us and greatly blessed the church. The whole community was stirred, many sin ners converted, and backsliders restored. Bro. Elsom preached the gospel with simplicity and power. We begin our meeting at Trinity fourth Sunday, Rev. L. N. Chappell, of Graham, to assist the pastor." Rev. P. H. Fontaine writes from Bethel Hill: "An eight days' meeting closed last Sunday at Grassy Creek. Fif teen were baptizsd and one more was re ceived 'for baptism. Evangelist R. D. Garland did the preaching, and did it in such a way as to convince his hearers that lie is called of God to the work to which he is devoting himself. Old Grassy Creek, the mother of the churches for many m les, around, is on the up grade, in size of congregation, Sunday School and contributions to mission. I expect to raise the amount of the Century Fund apportioned to my three churches in the Fiat River Association (1270)." Rw. L B. Boney, of Wilmington, writes: "The seond Sanday in July was an occasion of rej icing, as well as praise to the Lord with the members of Black well's chapel, on Acorn JB ranch, near Wilmington, i We held our first service in the new building. We have been struggling a little more than a year to get a house to worship ia. While it is not quit finished,-we have it so that we can use it until completed. We 'have worshipped ever since tbe organization in Bro. F. J. Dampsie s home, who is one of our deacon i, and who kindly offered us the privilege. The brethren with a la'-ge attendance met and organized 'a Sunday School on last Sunday in July. The outlook at present is encouraging. The Lord be praiued." . ......Two hundred and forty-five chil dren were enrolled in our Orphanage last year, and not one was lost Sixty-five new pupils were received and thirty five were sent out; $7,550 was received for permanent improvements. In six years 125,000 in improvements have been added to the plant. Charity and Children re ceived 13,491 41 last year, paving a profit of l;015 37."s The farm tarned in 2, 458 48, paying a profit Of 1920 21. The shoe-shop received 1584 80, paying a profit of 193 58. The general contribu tions amounted to between 1 10,000 and 111,000. The 'average cost ' of board, lodging clothing and education- al the living, everything, for each child was 11.33 per month. And we believe that each -one "of them fared as well as any child in any similar : institution, if not a little better. Oar Orphanage is a great Wefailed;to say :A the Orphan age' Board of Trustees AIM two vacan cies ox the Board very adrairably . ; It is hard to fill the place of a man like R. W. Brooks, now in ( Florida, or one like Dr. Brevard. Bat in C. E. Holton, of Greens boro business man. Baptist deacon, not the politician and J. B. Holman, farm er citizen and true Baptistthey are succeeded by worthy layman, like whom we wish our denomination : had' thou sands, '"j":-;-; . ; "-'' "' -r ......We have reason to think that the brother referred to as consenting not to oppose the. going of the Convention td Aeheville only on condition that he re ceive entertainment did so in jocular view and was misunderstood. We with draw the remark with apologies. The sense of humor frequently is the only thing that saves us, from tragedies. We have occasion frequently to lament its absence in others. We lament now our own loss. The best thing you can getnext to religion is the Bense of humor; and it aids religion. It is right well established that the moequito disseminates malaria, chills, fevers and other ills that flesh is heir to not to mention insomia, fiendish musio and immorality. Being so, our friends who have standing water in their neighbor hood, small holes, rain barrels, brick yard excavations, etc., will cave them selves and many others by patronising the Oil Trust to the extent of a few gal lons of kerosene and pouring it freely in all such places. , We are no agent (or the Oil Trust, and as tbe modern way is, we love the morquito (only deploring his bad habits). Try the oil An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of chill tonic ! Mr. J. W. Denmark has purchased the Progressive Farmer, of this city. He is a member of our Raleigh First Baptist church, a graduate of Wake Foreat, originating the Students' Aid Fund while there, and has hertof ore been connected witu the Farmer in the capacity of Busi ness Manager. We wish Bro. Denmark success in his work. As is well known, Mr. Clarence H. Poe has conducted the Farmer for two years or more with re markable ability. lor the paper's sake we hope he tmay remain with it He is about the youngest and one of the best editors in the State. He has made the Farmer strong in its field and while he has succeeded in t along it out of partisan politics he has not weakened but has strengthened its public influence. 5Unly and Pee Dee. My work is in the Stanly and Peo Dee Associations. I am on the territory of these two Associations every month, so 1 keep up with the machinery of both. My work at Norwood, Ansonville and Rocky River is gcing along slowly. We have been demoralized at Norwood this year with sickness of many kinds But day light has come. Our Stanly Union met a Anderson's Grove. We had a better representation than at the last Union. But the churches were poorly represented. We have some sort of a move on foot to raise our proportional part of the Edu cational Endowment Fund. I fear our organized effort won't work like a charm in this Association. We need in this As socation just now that which will come out of this movement,' namely, Educa tion Sanctified. There is not enough of vital Godliness in these churches to run the machinery, I fear. "Shall these dry bones live? Lord, Thou knoweet." There will be something done! The brethren of the Pee Dee have, I believe, the work of raising the Educational Fund well in hand. And the campaign is now going on. On the third Sunday we will have an Educational Rally at Ansonville. Ad dresses will be made by Prof. W. F. Fer rell and T. L. Caudle. On the fourth Sunday we will have a rally at Rocky River. At these rallies collections, con tributions and pledges will be made. We are working under some disadvantages in these parts because of constant rain fall, that has scared the farmers almost as much as a swarm of locusts would. But we hope God 1 in both of these movements. Rev. J. F. Love and Bro. Ferrell are doing great good in canvassing the churches, aided by the other brethren. Rev. C. L. Greaves will assist me in the July meeting, beginning Saturday before fourth Sanday in J uly. This July meeting was inaugurated by John Culpepper about one hundred! years ago, and the church still keeps it up We are looking for a blesine from the Lord My church es rave not forgotttu how to do ork for the Lord yet The Woman'a Missionary Societies at Aasonviile and Norwood have jtm gotteti off their first mieonary qox to a good missionary in Western North Carolina Many a poor missionary would be glad from the bottom of hie heart for a bo of goods ' to "aid;' him m his work. Etch one ot oar State missionaries ought to have a box! every year. ; I believe we ought to pound the Recorder office, i It would encourage our ; good brother as he stand at the helm and wield the pen for North Carolina "Baptist folks. , The best pounding would be a number ot new Subscribers to the Recorder Lsts pound our educational institutions '.with, one hundred thousand dollars this year.- B. H. MATHEWS. ' Notes From Our Foreign Board. kitLWi A f is " f ( I . Th$-.first, quarte of our Convention great-, has passed. I Toe Advocations are beginning to meet in the various States. ltjiriU .be well for our pastors and church ei to jtke a look at our Foreign Mission "ft.JC: iraW MISSIONARIES.-, ; Aftne Convention in New Orleans, it was decided to try and snd out twenty flv,ee hewi missionaries this year.' The Bpard lias already appointed several, and appeal after appeal comes from the for eign fields for reinforcements; but two difficulties confront us: Tne receipts are falUrg behind, and there are Very few Sreachers applying to be sent out 'Un-er-these circumstances, we should re meth tlat at the Southern Baptist Convention we agreed to pray to God to send 1 forth the laborers. Have we in faith looked to Him as we ehouldt t ,5 WEEK OF PRAYER. It has been thought well to appoint September 1 to 8 as a week of special prayer, asking God to move upon the heart of many to go. and also of many Who stay to help in this work. We hope that not only in the churches, but' around the fireside and in private, earnest prayer will go up to God. It would 'be well for pastors to speak on the subject and urge the people to talk tdGod abouc His work, asking Him for guidance and blessing. .1 v INFORMATION. There are many wbo wifh information toprepaie speeches or reports for the hundreds of Associations soon to meet' We. (have on hand a large 6upply of tracts, and reports of the Board, which any one can procure tree by timply drop ping ns a postal cam. ' : :; ITEMS OF INTEREST, , .Good ne8 comes from Cnina. One missionary, Rev. S. T. Williams, reports that) he has recently made a long trip (over, jsix hundred miles) among the churches and baptized over seventy. We are glad to ray that none of our missiqnarits were engaged in the looting business during the recent troubles in China. We ask our people not to overwork our returned missionaries. They come home to rest and recuperate. Many go back, well nigh broken down from over work at home. RECEIPTS.

WILLINGH AM, JJ,f Corresponding Secretary. Richmond, Va., August 1, 1901. Salisbury and Winston. Our cause in Salisbury is in a healthy aqd' prosperous coadltion. Bro. Parrish ha,8 .been adding almost weekly to his membership for many months, and the wo):k pf the church is in many respects very encouraging. They are planning to erect a new building, which is very mu( needed. The parsonage is one of the .best, and their location is all that could le desired. With Bro. Parrish and Bro,', Stall ngs in Salisbury, and Bro. Wells at Spencer, and Bro. Reed'at points around and near the city, the Baptists there are getting things well in hand. Winston has juet completed the best auditorium in the State. On the 31 inst. it Was my pleasure to be with them In entering it permanently. Tne member ship numbers 550. : Tney have had struggle to erect and furnish this splen did buildin?, costing them $16,000. With all thi8 burden cn them, they built last year in Salem, near a cotton factory set tleuvmt, a m ssion costing nearly $1,500. Their contributions to all the objects of the 'Convention in the meantime wara ta. JUAfkably liberal. With Bro. Brown's cfaureh in the center and Broad Street church in the western part of the dty, Sd the mission chapel in north Winston, d' the chapel In Salem, and the church in Southeide, ' the ' Baptists can hope to know of no city or town in which the Batfnit churches' are so wisely Planted.

"' ; How pleasant to be back at Wake id est after six weeks absence. It is a pi ure to go out and be with the people w there is no place like home. ? - There were many Wake Forest men at the Teachers' Assembly. I remember have met thirty-five. - This is as it shonS be. They are in charge of many of th academies of North Carohna. As teacL era they are in demand everywhere It has been my pleasure this summer to, be with- Prof. Ferrell, who ia dohw such masterly work in the Pee Dee W! tute. So devoted is he to his work, and so does it occupy his time, that he was forced to resign his position as State Ex aminer. . - Marshville Academy is under the man agement of S. J, Honeycutt. Into thli school he is putting all the energy thai he used to show in "left field," or when he led the "batting list." Recently HEaj Benbow became Mrs. Honeycutt and will teach with him this year. Marshville is a flourishing village, with good school an1 churches. Only four miles above here is the Win gate School, with Prof. Marcus Dry still in charge. The success of this" school is phenomenal. The enrollment last year was in the neighborhood of 300. Recent ly the Academy has been enlarged, and a suitable library room secured. With Jesse Williams, '01, to assist him this year this institution has a corps of teach ers that any school might feel proud ot Morgan Academy is far from the rail way, but over mountain and hill I man aged to reach the place in time for their Educational Rally. There is a strong spirit for education and with Prot 0,1 Hinson in charge the school will do won ders for this community. 'In Monroe I found Dr. A. M. Croxtba repairing his church and perfecting plans for the Twentieth Century Movement At Concord B. Lacy Hoge is "the right man in the right place." I was told that his hold over his people is wonderful 1 They were looking forward and prepar ing for the Association that convene! with them this fall. The Union Meetings of the Pee Dee and the Union were not largely attend ed. The people were busy with their crops. At Lilesville, Charlotte, and at Meadow Branch I met with many old Wake Forest boys who enquire lovingly aboutthe old college and rejoice in its prosperity. WALTER SIKE3. Wake Forest, July 30. Ashevllle Nsws. A few weeks ago Mr. Tucker asked the Sunday School' of the First Baptist church to give fifty dollars to the Thorn asville Orpnanage. Last Sunday, the day appointed on which to raise this amount, one hundred and fifteen dollars was raised instead of the fifty asked for. Dr. A. C. Dixon, of Boston, preached two very fine sermons in Asheville last Sunday to very lartre audiences. The theme for his morning sermon was "making melody in your heart to the Lord." (Ep. v. 19). As an intro duction he spoke of unheard music, the soul music to which God listens. He said, Faith is music, in that it har monizes with the facts of the Bible. Hope finds a harmony in the faithful ness of God; Righteousness is attuned with the truth of Ood: Obedience har monizes with the authority and love of Ood; Humility makes a melody with tbe greatness ot Ood; sympathy accords who God's attitude toward men and things; Gratitude makes sweet musio with tbe kindness of God. Dr. Dixon said that Christian science k tbe greatest discord of the day. He be lieves it is the form of infidelity, skepti cism, and agnosticism of the &e. "THORUROS." One of Many. "The friends in Monroe and elsewhere of Mr. Waiter S.
