ROACH Editor BAPTIST CHURCH NOTES. i The service Sunday morning was especially for the young people and the pastor read for the morning les son Psalms 139. The text was from Romans 14:17 and the subject was "influence." The girls chorus sang a special number following the scripture les son and just before the message the audience enjoyed a duet by two lit tle girls, daughters of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Sizemore. The Livingston B. Y. P. U. was the banner union Sunday evening and in the general assembly they ren dered a splendid impromptu pro-! gram. The B. Y. P.

Sunday evening was street night and just before thfe message the pastor called the names of the sev eral streets and those living on the street called stood. It was hard to tell without an actual count just which street had the most representatives present. The pastor read from Judges 15 and his subject was. "Rousing the Sleeper." He said just as Sampson seemed unaware at first of the loss of his strength, just it is with many christians who step from the rigVt path. At the close of the service Mrs. Clarence Haynes and Miss Louise Lemmons were received into the church by letter. Mrs. Haynes, a re cent bride comes from Ellenboro and Miss Lemmons is just home from Columbia Bible college where she graduated last week.

C., and received instruction : from private teachers, and was grad uated from Jefferson college, Can ; onsburg, Pa., in 1802. He studied law and was admitted to the bar and I [practiced. He was a member of the j state Senate in 1809; elected as a j Democrat from North Carolina to ! the United States House of Repre j sentatives, to the Twelfth, Thirteen th and Fourteenth Congresses, j (March 4, 1811-March 3, 1817). He removed to the present state of Ala bama and was register of the land of fice of the Mississippi Territory (which inclined the present state of Alabama) 1817-1821; Governor of Alabama 1821-25; appointed to the United States Senate from Ala bama to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Henry Chambers, and served from February 17, 1826 to November 27, 1826, when a succes sor was elected; was not a candidate for election to the vacancy; declined the appointment of judge of the United States Court for the District of Alabama in 1826; died near Mat anzas, Cuba, April 24, 1827. Inter ment was in the family cemetery near Greensboro, Hale county, Ala. He married Martha Lenoir, a daughter of Gen. William Lenoir, of Fort De ' fiance, near Lenoir, in Caldwe 1 ! county." The following broadside was issued by (Congressman Pickens while a representative in Congress. The original is preserved by the Lenoir family, at Fort Defiance). "(To the Citizens of Burke, Ruth erford, Lincoln, Buncombe and Haywood, N. Carolina)." "FELLOW CITIZENS: "After a most solemn delibera tion which has consumed a difficult and tedious session of eight months. I our country has at length appealed |to arms, for defence of its insulted rights and wounded honor. Having tried in vain every pacific expedient, jwe are now at open war with Great I Britain. The land and naval forces i are charged with its vigorous execu [ tion. And the most active prepara j tions are making to meet it. "The causes which have led to j this last alternative of nations, are but too well known and too serious ly felt by every portion of our citi zens, to require a recital. Nothing more need be said to a brave and generous people than, that your country calls. War has been waging on the part of our enemy during a long period of professed friendship, and has only been aggravated by our earnest endeavors to maintain peace. The indignities to our flag, within our own sovereignty—seizure of our property, in the course of lawful trade—the capture of our citizens, WHO OWNS THIS CAR? Do you know?

"The injuries we have sustained from France have raised in every American's soul a just indignation which nothing can, which nothing ought to allay but the most prompt and ample amends. This has been required by our government as the only condition on which any terms for future intercourse will be admit ted. If the encouragement held out by that nation, of redress for the past and assurances of the future, ; should not soon be realized, I trust Jwe will use the best means in our reach, to exact respect to our rights jas well from France as from Eng land. "I have the satisfaction to inform 'you that, a resort to internal taxa tion is not necessary at this ! time, and it is to be hoped that oth er sources of revenue may be found to avoid a system so obnoxious in its best form, and which would have, proved very inconvenient to our citizens at this embarrassing mo ment. "The long forbearance of our! government, which has been imputed to a want of energy in our councils, it is hoped will now be attributed to its true cause, a love of justice, and a sincere desire to cultivate peace. A trial is now to be made how far a free government is ca pable of its own preservation. On the issue of this interesting experiment rests the fate of the only free re public on earth. "On this day thirty-six years ago, cur nation took its birth among the empires of the world. Through every portion of this period have we grown in resources, in population, and in national character. All the improve ments and arts which ornament civi lized life are advancing with un equaled rapidity. Institutions which contribute to national and individual prosperity are rising over our land. Industry has caused this wilderness to give way to fields of plenty. Ag riculture, our country's great orna ment and support, is improving in a degree unknown to other countries, j The world has been wondering at this prodigy of national grandeur. A j momentous task is imposed upon us : r —the defence of the civil and reli- ! gious liberties, the honor, the in-' dependence handed us from our brave ancestors. United we are able for the important duty, tho' opposed by a world combined. "Honest differences of political sentiment has existed among us, as has been the case in every free na tion; and in ordinary times this dif ference has proved a useful check against the abuse of power; but now, having arrayed our country in arms we have but one cause to support.
