A Success antl an Inspiration-Sunday
School Work under Xtw Lijht.
Dr. A 1 Phillips, jjenSraP su
perintendent of Sabbath Schools
and young peoples societies of
Our assembly, conducted a "Con
ference or our Church and her
Young People" in the First Pres
byterian Church of Concord,. N.
C, February, 11th and 12th, 1902.
To say that the Conference
was a success and an inspiration
is but mildly to express our feel
ings. The awakeuing "was phe
nomenal. The enthusiasm
aroused, prodigious, the helpful
ness, immense. We, who were
privileged to attend, felt that the
assembly has done the right
thing, and has placed the right
man in the right place.
On Tuesday morning, Febru
ary, 11th, the Conference was
organized, with Rev. Jno.Vake
field, Presbyterial Chairman of
Sabbath Schools, in tbe chair,
and Rev. C Preston, secretary.
About eighty-five superintend
ents, teachers and Sabbath
School workers, were enrolled,
and numbers more attended the
services.
Dr. Phillips captivated the en
tire audience by his first talk, on
"The Young People in Mission
ary Societies", and we remained
captive as long as he was with
us. His differentiation between
young peoples' missionary' soci
eties and young peoples' societies
for work atid worship ; was
unique, but practical and plain.
It opened our eyes to many op
portunities and advantages, long
overlookedor neglected in the
past.
The exposition of a Model
Presbyterian Sabbath School, in
which the "Assembly's Four
teen Points of Excellence" are
found, was so simple, and yet so
suggestive, that many of s were
condemned on the spot, but all
were encouraged to make new
efforts on determination to attain
to, and utilize more of these
characteristics.
Words cannot express the in
spiration in, and derived from
Dr. Phillip' address on "The
Bible in Modern Education," it
was superb, and ever j one who
hears it will receive a comfort
ing and lasting benefit.
"How to Teach the Lesson"
was ably and delightfully illus-
i
tratpd, and the plea for a,
"Graded Sabbath School" con-i
verted many of us who had h.n ;

of equipment, books? chart, '

was indeed a revelal :nn to ihuso'
who hvre never realized how
much v. distance can be secured
for our Sabbath School work.
But the closing address was
supreme, 'Missions in the Sab
bath School and the Sabhath
Sobqpl in Missions." Though
sufferingffom great hoarseness,
Dr. Phillips excelled himself jon

the process that we have seen.!his reasons the Presbytery ac-
The Chronicle says:
"By the process now employed
it is stated that the cotton seed
pass through six
through six mechanical
processes; (1) a machine for
cloamng seed of sand; (2) ma
chine for removing bolls, pieces
of wood, etc.; (3) magnetic
machine for removing iron,
nails, etc.; (4) a delinting ma
chine; (5)- hulling machine; (6)
reel for separating mats from the
hulls.
"Instead of these six. machines
the new process simply dumps
the seeds, just as they come from
the gin, into a vav containing
chemicals, and in twenty min
utes it is claimed the hull will
pop open and the denuded ker
nels fall to the bottom of the vat
while the hulls float on the top
ofthe solution. If tho kernels
are to be shipped a distance to
an oil mill they are dried first,
but if this first process is at the
oil rnill then the kernels are
passed immediately from the
vat to the crushing rolls and it
is claimed there is a saving of
50 per cent, in tho cost of
of producing crude oil.. The
refining process is no more ex
pensive, and it is claimed that
the finest olive oil on the market
can be duplicated from the
product.
"Another great taring is in
the shipment of the denuded
seed to cotton oil mills. The
weight is reduced one-half and
thabulk two-thirds. The hulls
that rise to the top of the vat are
in shape .Tor paper stock and
worth from $20 to $40 per ton,

"This proaess for whiijh
application of patent has been
made is said to be in successful
operation in Washington City,
and can be worked at any gin
nery, saving the large amount
already mentioned to the owner
of the seed. The saving under ;
this proceed will permit the pay
ment of several dollars a ton
more to the farmers for cotton

owners of the new process that
it means a revolution in the
business and millions of dolln'rs

to see Mr. Preston leave his
splendid work here.
