THE EDITOR'S CHAIR. HOW THINGS LOOK FROM OUR STAND POINT. The Opinion of The Editor and the Opinion of Others which we Can Endorse on the Various , Topics of the Day. If always to court und never to wed is the height of felicity, Ihen that couple who were married in Berlin the other day after an engage ment of fifty years must have had a good time for half a century. We tender them our congratulations. Great Britain has decided to make a handsome appropriation, and give our Columbian exposition a good send-off. -he two great English speaking nations are realizing morn and more that it is to the money in terests of both to bo on friendly terms. And it is money that talks. A scientific writer devotes consid erable "pace to detailing the fatal ef fects of tight laciiu on monkeys. The thing was tried as a f-cientific experiment. The scientific man need not have been at the trouble. The world witnesses every day upon the streets the effects of tight hci'.g monkeys. The papers have speculated a great deal as to who would he selected to succeed lhc lamented Col. Gray as President of the C. V.&Y. V. 11. Tw. For one we would be ready to con gratulate the roid upon the selection of Mr. Percy Gray, the son of the late President. Wo had the pleasure of being at school with Mr. Gray and know his sterling worth. Though young, yet as Vice-President of the road, he is thoroughly conversant with all of his father's plans, and should the mantle fall upon him the road would find in him an energetic and progressive chief officer. The Industrial convention held sn llaleigli last week at the call of Gov. Holt-was a move in the right direction. An Industrial Association was formed which is to be permanent. This association will make an organ ized effort to have the industries, resources and natural advantages of the State properly represented at the Southern Exposition in Ilaleigh next fall and at the Columbian Ex position in Chicago iu 1892. This is but the beginning of the work that the association hopes to accomplish. Certainly it is high time that our people were waking up to a true ap precia.ion of the wonderful resour ces of their State and that their brains and hands should be taught to make the most of the gifts that na lure ha laid around and under us. Careful measurements made at different points of Europe show that the earth wobbles upon her axis. This causes a very slight change of latitude for places at different times. The north pole may not always be at the same fixed spot, but may vary a halt millionth part of a mile from time t time. May be the old world is getting tired of spinning around and round so many millions of years, am is getting shaky upon her center pins. The scientific men fay the variation is "probably" owing to some changes in the internal mass of the plaint, disturbances in her in sides, in other words. Well, she has carried enough upon her surface in the long centuries, heaven knows, io disgust her and mr.ke her very sick indeed. Some of the State papers are read ing Bro. Bailey, of the Biblical Re corder, a deserving lecture on Jus tice and Charity. The Legislature, with the noblest of purposes, attemp ted to do something by way of legis lation to prevent intemperance by giving the youth of the land an in telligent idea of the nature and ef fects of alcohol. Mr. Bailey, the editor of a religious paper, does not q mgratulate the body upon its efforts on the part oi humanity, but dili gently goes to work hunting a ghost behind the door. When he imagines that he has found it, ho wises a hue and cry and denounces the Legisla ture in uncalled fer terms. Oh, for tho rarity of christian charity, even among religious newspapers. If what Mr. Uailey says about the trust is true, then the General Assembly made a mistake though inspired by the highest and best of motives ; but whether true or untrue he should be ashamed of the spirit lie has shown in the matter. Maj. Finger's card recently published states' that the new books will cost less than those now in use. "All my reports go with the mod est truth. No more nor clipped, but so."

Williams, one of the oldest and most esteemed and frequently honored citizens of Sampson county, says : t;I hopn to hf ar soon that uiv good friends in and around Clinton are putting up a cottoii factory. They are able to do so. They can get the cotton at the door and it will build up the town in trade and population. Where tho cotton planters sell their cotton they will trade. The little county of Alamance has seventeen factories and has to go to other towns and counties for their cotton and pay speculator's prices and freight before they can make imv- thing off of their labors."

Text of the Discourse: .lames the : on of ZelKMlre,aiidJohn His Brother, in a Ship With Zebedee, Their Father, Mend ing The! r Nets. Matthew iv, 21. Rrookltx, May 17. If proof of Dr. Talmage's Immense popularity had been needed, it would be amply famished by the promptitude with which the people have availed themselves of the increased accommodation afforded by the new Tabernacle. The vast edifice is as densely crowded at every service as . the older and smaller Tabernacle was. Dr. Talmage this morning paid his attention to the theological disputes which are agitating the churches, and as usual gave sound practical advice to both parties. His text was Matthew iv, 21, "James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, in a ship with Zebe dee their father, mending their nets." "i ao A-Fisnrxa." "I go a-fishing," cried Simon Peter to his comrades, and the most of the apostles had hands, hard from fishing tackle. The fisheries of the world have always attracted attention. In the Third century the queen of Egypt had for pin money four hundred and seven ty thousand dollars received from the fisheries of Lake Moeris. And if the time should ever come when the im mensity of the world's population could not be fed by the vegetables and meats of;the land, the sea has an amount oi animal life that would feed all the pop ulations of the earth and fatten them with a food that by its phosphorus would make a generation brainy and intellectual beyond anything that the world has ever imagined. My text takes us among the Galilean fishermen. One day Walter Scott, while hunting in an old drawer, found among some old fishing tackle the manuscript of his immortal book "Waverley," which he had put away there as of no worth, and who knows bat that today we may find some un known wealth of thought while look ing at the fishing tackle in the text. It is not a good day for fishing, and three men are in the boat repairing the broken fishing nets. If you are fishing with a hook and line, and the fish will not bite, it is a good time to put the angler's apparatus into better condi tion. Perhaps the last fish you hauled in was so large that something snapped; or, if you were fishing with a net, there was a mighty floundering of the scales, or an exposed nail on the side of the boat which broke some of the threads and let part or all of the captives of the deep escape into' their natural ele ment. And hardly anything is.inore provok Bg than to nearly land a score or a hundred of trophies fromthe deep, and Nvben you are in the full glee of haul ing in the spotted treasures, through some imperfection of the net they splash back into the wave. That is too much of a trial of patience for most fishermen to endure, and many a man ordinarily correct of speech in such circumstances comes to an intensity of utterance unjustifiable. Therefore no good fisherman considers the time Divasted that is spent in mending his 'net. Now, the Bible again and again represents Christian workers as fishers of men, and we are all sweeping through the sea of humanity some kind of a net. " Indeed, there have been enough nets out and enough fishennembusy to have landed the whole human race in the kingdom of God long before this. What is the matter? The Gospel is all right, and it has been a good time for catching souls for thousands of years. Why, then, the failures? The trouble is with the nets, and most of them need to be mended. I propose to show you what is the matter with most of the nets and how to mend them. In the text old Zebedee and hia two boys James and John were doing a good thing when they sat in the boat mend iag their nets. . NETS WITH MESHES TOO LARGE. I The trouble with many of our nets is that the meshes are too large. If a fish can get his gills and half his body through the network he tears and rends and works bis way out; and leaves the place through which he squirmed a tangle of broken threads. The Bible weaves faith, and works tight together, the law and theGospel, righteousness-and forgiveness. Some of our nets have meshes so wide that the sin ner floats in and out and is not at any moment caught for'the heavenly land ing. In our desire-to make everything so easy we relax, wo loosen, we widen. We let men after they are once in the gospel net-escape into thewcrld and go into indulgences, and swim all around GalDee from north , side to south side and from east side to westsiie. expect ing that they will comet back afv" We ought to make it easy for them to get into the kingdom of fGod, and, as faraswe can, make it impossible for them, torget out. V The poor advice -nowadays to many is: 45oand.do just as 'yotudid before you were rapturedorGodiand heaven. The net' was not intended o be any re straint or any hindrance. What you .did before you were a Gtzristian, do now. -Goto all styles of amusement, read, all the styles of book: engage in all the stylesiof behavior-as before yoa were converted. "J And so through these-mesheaf permission and laxity theywrigglewout, through uiisvopening and that opening, tearing Jthe net as they go, and,'soonall the souls that we .expected' todand . In heaven before we Jaaow itarebacktin the deep) seafof the world. Oh, when we go a-gospel fish ing let us make it as easy as possible for souls to get In and as liard as pos sible to get out. Is the Bible language an unmeaning verbiage when it talks about self denial and keeping tho body under, and about walking the narrow way and entering the strait gate and about carrying the cross? Is there to be no way of telling whether a man is a Christian except by his taking the communion chalice on sacramental day? May a man be as reckless about his thoughts, about his words, about bis temper, about his amusements, about his dealings after co'".r?rsion as before conversion ? Oao half the Gospel nets with which wo have been scooping the sea have had such wide meshes that they have been all torn to pieces by tho rushing out in to the world of those whom a tighter net would have kept in. Tho only use of a net is to keep the fish from going back to where they were before, and where they could not liave been taken by any other means. Alas, that the words of Christ are so littlo heeded when he said, " Whosoever doth not bear his cross and come after me cannot be my disciple." Tho church is fast becoming as bad as the world, and when it gets as bad as the world it will be worse than the world by so much, as it will add hypocrisy of a most appall ing kind to its other defects. ENTANGLED WITH OTHER NETS. Furthermore, many of our nets are torn to pieces by being entangled with other nets. It is a sad sight to see fish ermen fighting about sea room and pulling in opposite directions, each to get his net, both nets damaged by the struggle and losing all the fish. In a city like this pf more than eight hundred thousand, there are at least five hundred thousand not in Sab bath schools or churches. And in this land where there are more than sixty-four million people, there are at least thirty million not in the Sabbath schools and churches. And in this world of more than fourteen hundred million people there are at least eight hundred million not in schools and churches. In such an Atlantic ocean of opportunity there is room for all the nets and all the boats and all the fish ermen and for millions more. There should be no rivalry between churches. Each one does a work pe culiar to itself. There should be no rivalry between ministers. God never repeats himself, and he never makes two ministers alike, and each one has a work which no other man in the uni verse can accomplish. It fishermen are wise they will not allow their nets to entangle; or if they do accidentally get intertwisted the work of extrication should be kindly and gently conducted. What a glad spectacle for men and an gels when, on our recent . dedication day, ministers of all denominations stood on this platform and wished for each other widest prosperity and use fulness. But there are cities in this country where there is now going on an awful ripping and rending and tearing of fishing nets. Indeed, all over Chris tendom at this timo there is a great war going on between fishermen, ministers against ministers. YOU CANNOT FISH AND FIGHT. Now I have noticed a man cannot fish and fight at the same time. He either neglects his net or his musket. It is amazing how much time some of the fishermen have to look after other fishermen. It is more than I can do to take care of my own net. You see the wind is just right and it is such a good time for fishing and the fish are coming in so rapidly that I have to keep my eye and hand busy. There are about two hundred million souls wanting to get into the kingdom of God, and it will require all the nets and all the boats and all the fishermen of Christen dom to safely land them. At East Hampton, Long Island, where I summer, out on the bluffs some morn ing we see the flags up, and that is the signal for launching out into the deep. For a mile the water is tinged with that peculiar color that indicates whole schools of piscatorial revelry, and the beach swarms with men with their coats off and their sea caps on, and those of us who do not go out on the' wave stand on the beach ready to re joice when the boats come back, and in our excitement we rush into the water with our shoes on to help get the boats up the beach, and we all lay hold the lines and pull till we are red in the face, and as the livimr things of tiie doe i) come tumbling in on the sand I cry out, "Captain, how many? And he answers, sand." And wo shout to the late comers, "Hurrah, fifty thousand I" We must have an enthusiasm somethin, like that if we are ever to take the hu man" race for God and heaven., Aye, we ouzht to have that enthusiasm of the beach multiplied a hundred fold, and bv so much as an immortal soul is worth more than a bluefish. Oh, brethren of ministry I Let us spend our time in fishing instead of fighting. But if I angrily jerk my net across your net, and you jerk your net angrily across mine, we will soon have two broken nets and no fish. . The French revolution nearly destroyed the French fisheries, and ecclesiastical war is the worst thing possible while hauling souls into the kingdom. . I had hoped that the millennium was about to dawn, but the lion is yet too fond of lamb. My friends, I notice in the text that James the son of Zebedee and John his brother were busy, not mending somebody else's nets, but mending their own nets, and I rather think that w who are engaged in Christian work in this Latter part of the Nineteenth century will require all our spare time to mend our-own nets. God help us in the important duty. In" this work of reparation we need to pat into the nets more threads 'ot common tsense. . When we carr present religion as a great practicality we will catch a hundred souls where -now we catch one. Present religion as an in tellectuality and we will fail.
