There is no .such detective as prayer, for no one can bide away from it. It puts its hands on the shoulder of a man teii thousand miles off. It alights on a ship mid Atlantic. The little child cannot understand the law of elec tricity, or how the telegraph opera 'or, by touching the instrument here, may dart a message under the sea to another continent ; nor can we, with bur small intellect, under stand how the touch of a Christian's prayer shall instantly strike a soul on the other side of the earth. You take a ship and go to some other country, and get there at 11 o'clock hi the morning. You telegraph to New York, and the message gets here at G o'clock in tlio same ruorn ing. In other words it seems to arrive here five hours before it started. Like that is prayer. God says : "Pefore they call 1 will hear." To overtake a loved one on the road, you may spur up a lathered steed until he shall outrace the one that brought the news to Ghent ,- but a prayer shall catch it at one gallop. A boy running away from home may take the midnight train from VOL.

The breath of .Elijahs prayer blew all the clouds till' the sky, and it was drv wea.her. The breath of Elijahs prayer blew all the clouds together, and it was wet wertther.

All we have done as yet has only been pattering, and guessing, ami experimenting. A boy gets hold of his fathers saw and hammer, and tries to make something, but it is a. poor affair that In; makes. The fa thei comes iind takes the same saw and hammer and builds the house or t ie ship. In the childhood of our Chr stian faith, we make but poor wore with the weapons of prayer, but when we come to the stature of men in Christ Jesus, then, undr these im) emeu's, the temple ut'Ood will rise, and the world's redemption will be 1; uncbed. God cares not for the leng.b of our prayers; or the number of our prayers, or the beauty of our pra vers, or the place of our pra vers: but" IT is Till: I'AITH in them thatb-Us. Relieving 'prayer soars higher than the lark ever sang: l dun ges deeper, than the diving bell ever sank ; darts quicker thaii the 1 ghtning ever Hashed.

As stars, the redeemed have a bor rowed igbt. What makes Mars and Venus and Jupiter so luminous? When the sun throws down his tore! in the I leavens the stars pick up the Id brands and hold, them in scatter process on as advances; so all Christian workers, standing around the throne, will shine in the light borrowed from the Sun of Righteousness Jesus in their faces, Jtsus in their songs, Jesus in their triumph: Christ left lieaven once for a tour of redemption on earth, yet the glorified ones knew he would come back again. Put let himabd catehis throne, and go away to stay forever, the music would stop, the congregation disperse, the tem ples of Cod be darkened, the rivers of light stagnate, and every chariot would become a hearse, and every bell would toll, and there would not lie room on the hill sides to bury the dead of the great metropolis, for there would be pestilence in heaven. Put Jesus lives, and so all there deemed live with him He shall recognize them as his comrades in earthly toil, and v remember what they did for the honor ot his name and for i.he spread of his kingdom. All their prayers and tears and work will rise before him as he looks into their faces, and he will divide his kingdom with them ; his peace their peae; his holiness their holi ness ; his joy their joy.

II r -v a i ii x III HERE SHALL THE PRESS and a-flash with light, they shall shine as the stars forever and ever. Again: Christ ian workers shall be like the stars in the fact that tliey have n light indepeiylent of each other. Look up at the night, ;l!id see each world show its dist inet glory. It is not like t lie conflagration, in which voir cannot tell where one flame stops and another begins. Neptune, Ilerschel and Mercury ari as distinct as if each one of them wen; the only star; so our individ ualisni will not lie lost in heaven. A great multitude yet each one as ob servable, as distinctly recognized, as greatly celebrated, as if in all the space, from gate to gate, ami from hill to hill, he were the only inhabi tant: no mixing, up no mob no in discriminate rush ; each Christian worker, standing out illustrious all the story of earthly achievement ad hering to each one ; Ids SKI.F liKMAI.S, and pains, and services, and victo ries published. Pelbre men went out to the last war, the orator-told thein that they would till be remembered by their country, and their names be commemorated in poetry and in song: but go to the graveyard in Richmond and you will find there r,,no0 graves, over each one of which is the inscrip tion, ''I'nknowti.'' The world does not, remember Us heroes : but there will be no .unrecognized Christian worker in heaven. Each one known by all; grandly known; known by acclamation : Fdl the past story of work for God.gleaining in cheek, ami brow, and fool and palm. They shall shine with distinct light as the stars, forever and forever. Again: Christian workers shall shine like the stars in clusters. In looking up you lind the worlds in family circles. -"Prothers and sisters they take hold of each other's hands and dance in groups "Orion in a group. The Pleiades in a group. The solar system is only a company ot children, with bright faces, -gathered around one great fireplace. The words do not straggle off. They go in sipuidrons and lleets, sailing through immensity. So Christian workers in heaven will dwell in neighborhoods and clusters. 1 am sure that some peo ple I will like in heaven a great deal better than others. Yonder is a constellation of stately Christians. They lived on earth by rigid rule. The' never laughed. They walked every hour anxious lest they should lose their dignity. Put they loved God; and yonder they shine in bril liant constellation. Yet I shall not long to get into that particular group. Yonder is a constellation of small- hcarted Christians -asteroids in the eternal astronomy. While some souls go up from Christian battle, 'and blaze like Mars, these asteroids dart a feeble ray like Vesta. Yonder is a constellation of martyrs, of apostles, of patriarchs. Our :souls, as they go up to lieaven, will seek out the most congenial society. Yon der is a constellation almost merry witluthe play of light. On earth they were full of sympathies and songs, and tears and raptures, ami congratulations. When they prayed their words took fire ; when they sang, the tune could not hold them ; when they wept over a world's woes, they sobbed as if heart broken';, when they worked for Christ, TIIKV KI.AMKI) with enthusiasm. Yonder they are circle of light ! constellation of joy! galaxy of lire ! Oh, that you and I, by that grace which can trans form the worst into the best, might at last sail in the wake of that licet, and wheel in that glorious group, as the stars forever and ever! Again: Christian workers will shine like the stars in swiftness of motion. The worlds do not stop to shine. " There are no fixed stars save as to relative position. The star most thoroughly fixed flies thou sands of miles a minute. The astronomer,-using his telescope for an alpine stock, leaps from world crag to world crag, and finds no star stand ing still. The chamois hunter has to tly to catch his prey, but not so swift is bis game as that which the scientist tries to shoot through the tower of observatory. Like petrels mid Atlantic, that seem to come from no shore, and be bound to no land ing place Hying, Hying so these great tloeks of worlds rest not as they go wing and wing age after age forever and ever. -The eagle bastes to its pre, but we shall in speed beat the eagles. You have noticed the velocity of the swift horse under whose feet the miles slip like a smooth ribbon, and as.he passes the four hoofs strike the earth in such mick beat your pulses take the same vibration. Put all these things are not swift in comparison with the mo tion of which 1 speak. The moon moves fifty-four thousand miles in a day. Yonder, Neptune Hashes on eleven thousand miles in an hour. Yonder, Mercury goes one hundred and nhie thousand miles in an hour. So like the stars the Christian worker shall shine in swiftness of motion. You hear now of father, or mother, .or child sick one thousand miles away, and it takes you two days to get to them. You hear of some case of suffering that demands your im mediate attention, but it takes you an hour to get there. ( h, the joy when you shall, in the fulfillment of the text, take STAllRY SPEEP, and be equal to one hundred thou sand miles an hour. Having on earth got used to Christian work, you will not quit when death strikes you. You" will only take on more velocity. There is a dying child in London, and its spirit must be taken up to God ; you are there in an in stant to do it. There is a young man in New York to be arrested from going into that gate of sin ; you are there in an instant to arrest him. mm TUE PEOPLE'S RIGHTS MAINTAIN, UN AWED BY ISLUEXCE DURHAM, N. C., FRIDAY, JUNE 20,1888. iVhether with spring of foot, or stroke of wing, or by the force of some new aw that shall hurl you to the spot vhere you would go, I know not; but ny text suggests velocity. All space open before you. with nothing to under you in mission of light, ;:nd love and joy, you shall -bine in rwiftness of motion as the stars for ever and ever. Again: Christian workers, like ; tars: shall shine in magnitude. The most illiterate man knows that 1 he.-e things in the sky, looking like gilt buttons, are great masses - of matter. To weigh them, one would think that it would require scales itli a pillar hundreds of thousands miles high, and chains hundreds thousands of miles long, and at ie bottom of the chains basins on either side hundreds of thousands of iniles wide, ami that then omnipo- i nee alone could put the mountains ; unto the scales and the hills into the ' dance.

'"I cannot but be profoundly im pressed when I see about me the messengers of the National Democ racy bearing its summons to duty. The political party to which I owe both allegiance and honor command me. It places in my hand its proud standard and bids me bear it high at the front in the battle which it wages bravely because conscious of right, confidently because its trust is in the people and soberly because it comprehends the obligations whiclf success imposes. The message which you bring awakens within me the,, liveliest sense of personal grati tude and satisfaction and the honor which you tender me is in itself so great that there might well be no room for any other sentiment. And yet I can't rid my self of grave and serious thoughts when I remember that party su premacy is not alone involved in the conflict which presses upon us, but that we struggle to secure and save the perished institutions, the welfare and the happiness of a nation of fnemen. Familiarity with the great ollice which I. hold has but added to my apprehension of its sacred charac ter and the consecration demand ed of him who assures, its im mense responsibility. It is the repository of the people's will and power. Within its vision should be the protection and welfare of the most humble citizen iind with quick ear it should catch from t he rei not est corner of the land I he plea of t he people for jiist ice ami for right. For t he sakeof'l he people he who holds this other of thrirs should resist e cry encroachment on its legit i mate Functions, and for the sake ofthe in legrity and usefulness ofthe ollice il should be -kept near to the people and be administered in full sympathy wilh their wants and needs. This occasion remiHds mr most vividly of the scene when, four years ago, I re ceived a message from my party sim ilar to that which you now deliver. Willi all that has passed since that day f can Irul sav that the feeling of awe w ith w hich I heard t he summons then is intensified many fold when it is repeated now. Fours years ago I 1 knew that our executive ollice, it j not carefully guarded, might drilt t little by little away from the people ! to whom it belonged and In-come a perversion of all it ought to be. Put 1 did not know how much its moorings had already been loosened. 1 knew four years ago how well de vised were the true principles of true denu craea for the successful opera tion of the governnientbv the people ! and for the people, but 1 did not I know how absolutely necessary their i application then was for the restora- turn to the people oi tlieirsaiety ami prosperity. 1 knew then that abuses and extravagancies had crept into the management of public alfairs, but 1 did not know their various forms, nor the tenacity of their grasp. I knew then something ofthe bitter ness of partisan- obstruction, but I did not know how bitter, bow reck less, and how shameless it could be. (Prolongf.-tlapplau.se). 1 knew, too. that the American people were pa triotic and just, but 1 did not. know how grandly they loved their coun try nor how noble and generous they were. I shall not dwell on the'acts and the policy ofthe ad ministration now drawing to its close. Jts record is open to every citizen of the land. And yet I will not be denied the privilege of asserting at this time that in the exercise of the high trust con fided to me 1 have yielded obedi ence only to the Constitution and the solemn obligation of my oath of other. I have done those things whichju the light of the under standing God has given mr, seemed most conclusive to the welfare of the country and the promotion of good government. I would not, if I could, for myself nor for you, avoid a single consequence of a fair interpretation of my course. It but remains for me to say to you and through you to the Democracy ofthe nation that 1 accept the nomination with which they have ' honored me. and that I will in due' time signify such accep tance in the usual formal, manner."

The resignation of Mr. Aycock was due to the fact that in the hottest of the fight he will necessarily be absent on the canvass in the district. There could have been no belter selection made than Mr. Dortch. He w ill perfect a thorough organization and conduct such a light against llepublieanisni as has been rarely seen in the county.

The crowd at the Atlantic has been im mense, and the boom which More head has received as a summer re sort seems to be vet 'jrouing. The load has worked up a splendid pas senger tratlic and every energy of the managi meiit is bent on bringing people to Morehead. The splendid passenger steamer, "Passport," with accommodations lor three hundred passengers, is expected to arrive at Moiehead to-day. This is a sea worthy steamer, and excursions from along the line of the road in co operation with the "Passport" will be nfn, giving the excursionists a trip out to sea. This will be a novelty to many. In addition to the licet of line sharpies at Moiehead there is a : beautiful little yacht with an engine run by naptha gas which is rapidly taking the -place of steam for small vessels. This little steamer, if it can be so called, makes regular trijis fiom the hotel to the surl,iml 'iocs not depend upon wind or tide. Tiik May bulletin of the North Carolina Poavd of Health is on our table. We don't remeiidn r exactly how lng it has been her-, but we want to notice it now. In the mor tuary report , for April, published with the bulletin we find that Dur ham is not such a graveyard as some people suppose. Make a compari son. According to the bulletin, A.-hevilie's death rate is b'5 ". Dur ham PJ.S, r Henderson 21;. New. Prnc lib: Raleigh 1".2 ; Salisbury lb.S; Tarl-oro 11.1; Wilmington 17.2. This shows that folks die at other places besides Durham. Again. The twelve towns reported, four of which are not here given, had a total of 108. deaths during April. This gives the average death rate 1 1. So we find that Durham is considerably below the average, or in other words Durham's health is better than the average. In fact, compared to Raleigh or Henderson or even Ashe ville, Durham is a good health resort. Mu. Rii UAim Pattlk, of the Xrws A Obsn-rrr, says this is a popular way of sailing, at Morehead: "Get your girl in a sharpie, w hich rs made fast to the wharf, ami then push the loat oil' as far as the line will permit, ami sit close up to the little timid crea ture to prevent her from getting fri'jht ened. This kind of sailing has man' advantages you arc not so much; crowded, the water not too rough and the breakers not so dangerous. The lxys say the motion ofthe loat as it rpeks to ami fro with tide, and the closeness of the . prirl, is too de lightful to be described." 9
