The following reflections upon the ugly habit of gum chewing are taken from Our Monthly. We commend them to the mature consideration of those who indulge the habit to the discomfort of those around them be sides apnearin": ridiculous them selves: 'Girls are actually chewing gum atrain. and in nubile places, too ! If they could look accidentally into a mirror, while tasking the lower part of the face so unmercifully, and see themselves for a moment with un- recognizing eyes, the vulgar habit would die on the spot, as will their beauty if they persist in it. wonder, if the man exists who could connect romance with a gum-chew ing girl? There is something in tensely prosaic in everything that suggests eating, even if it be-only muncing of candies at matinee, con certs and lectures., " The vulgarity of the act, in any public place, whatever, is apparant at a glance vulgarity of a bad taste, of appetite and of the display of eat- ing, as weiu tne scattering oi me re dolence of the candies upon the atmosphere in many instances ; the habit, also being one which has in spired the witty pencil of many among our eminent caricaturists. But gum-chewing is infinitely worse than candy-munching, and has not even the advantage of satisfying the aDDetite. Don't transgress in this way at all, girls ; but it your mind insists upon being engrossed by some sort of chewing, at leat draw the line atgum" Durham Ahead. i Under this caption we find a. communication in the Biblical Re corder of this week from the pen of Kev. ! U Durham, trom which wej make the following extracts : borne things can be said of the First Baptist Church, Durham, N. C, that can be said, we think, of no other church in our State. These hings, too, are commendable in the bighest degiee. There are in its membership old students and gradu ates of John Hopkins University, University of Virginia, Wake Forest, university oi Isorth Carolina, Trin ity, Howard, Ala., Poughkeepsie, X. i., Jenerson, Pa., .Normal College, Tennessee, Thomasville, Salem, Ox- ' T"W ' 't-'. -w- -w- ora, reace and others. Here the present pastor of the South Boston, Va., Baptist Church was discovered, and from its membership went the pastors ot the Byrne Street Church, Petersburg,Va., Williamston Church, North Carolina, and the ex-pastor of the church at Lillington, with the wives oi not less than three other Baptist preachers and a professor in John Hopkins University, Balti more, It is not, however, to these things we wish now to call'attention, but to the spirit of missions as illus trated in the work of this church. "In1 the past ten years this church has willingly, in the best Christian spirit, divided her membership three times to form three new churches mission churches all of which are doing welf. In each case a suitable location and house of worship was secured for the new organization. . When a pastor of this church re signs there is really no break in the pastorate, or in the work and con tributions of this church. The wri ter resigned and remained with the church till his successor was secured, and the same train that brought the new pastor took the old one away : and thus it is to be with the com ing of pastor White and the depart ure ol pastor Bostick. .Nothing is more beautiful, when such changes come, to have them come after this order. j v ; : ! "The contributions of this church, not including pastor's salary and in cidental expenses (these are always liberal), has for years (we think the figures will show) been larger than the contributions of any other Bap tist church in the State. This hasi been the old Pauline (2 Cor. 8:1-24) dollar test of the mission 'spirit through all the ages and in all the churches. Here is a church that has borne this dollar test most nobly It has its thousands in the endow ment of Wake Forest College, arid it is trie only church in the State (some were paid for by individuals) that, as a church, paid lor a house at Thomasville to shelter a family of orphan children. I "Durham gave Miss Lula Freeland to Rev. R. T. Bryan, and then to hina. This church gave its first pastor to superintend the mission work of the Baptist host in our State, and its second pastor and wife to China ; and now another pastor and wife living and holding membership there for years, offer themselvds to our Foreign Board, and thence to a foreign field. Trinity Methodist Church, Durham, has a representa tive, 1 a young maD, in China. When we have six foreign missionaries going out from one town five of thm trom pur own people in half that number of years, is it not time, that some other churches, in some rther towns in our State, begin at least to ask prayerfully : 'How is all this V " The best wine last is not only the order in Can a of Galilee, but in the hearts of the Baptists of Durham Years ago in the pulpit of this dear people (Phil. 1 : 2-11) we said more than once, as many of them well remember, that we longed to see the day, and believe it to be not far in the future, when individual Baptist churches in our State would assume the entire support of a missionary to the heathen. ; "But now, how the thought fills and thrills me as I write and think of the pastor-loving people in Dur ham rising up in heart and faith, will and purse, and setting an ex ample to one thousand churches in the Southern Baptist Convention, that would doubtless soon most gladly follow by saying to our For eign Mission Board at Richmond : 'We will support Bostick in China.'
