Perfect Knowledge Not Necessary to Religious Life, Says the Writer-lf It Were There Could Be No Such Thing as Religious Life, He Contends. So far as any exact ccra prehension ol His mode of existence or of the qualities of His character or of His om niscience or omnipresence is concerned it is possible for us to know very little. Infinite power is so far beyond the reach of our minds that its contempla tion is productive of very little benefit, and it is useless to attack the mystery 01 mnnite wisdom with any hope of solving the puzzle, as it would be to leap from the earth expecting to land on the nearest fixed star. But perfect knowledge is not neces sary to the religious life. If it were there could be no such thing as relig ious life. A great many honest minds, how. ever, have been disturbed and driven to the verge of doubt by their inability to form any conception of God. He is the uncreated Creator, but the words, convey no meaning whatever to our rainds. If you look through the Lick telescope at Arcturus you see very little more than the unlettered peas ant. Still Arcturus is in the sky whether you can peer into his secret or not, and God is in your life, though your most searching thought returns to you empty-handed. The very words, omnipotence and omnipresent, have an unthinkable signification, and when the man of science tells us that space is absolutely limitless, that it consists of horizons which are simply endless in number, we acceept the fact, but have no more conception of it than the microbe in a watch has of the del icate machinery whose ticks are a con tinuous roll of thunder in its ears. What, then, you ask, is the basis of a religion which demands such self control and self sacrafice? If these problems will always remain insoluble, and if you can know so little of the Being who demands yoqr soul's alle giance, why may not religion itself be a mistake? Many a heart has been engloomed by these thoughts and many a mind befogged by them. The church, I fear, has done us an injury by putting into a creed its spec ulations and making that creed a standard of excellence. If the creed were offered to hungry minds as mere ly a theological hypothesis, to be ac. cepted or rejected hy th,e thinking folk in the religious community, valu able in so far as it is spiritually helpful and satisfactory to the individual, then we could see its importance. But when you are told that is the absolute truth on the subject, and that assent is the condition of receiving the Chris tian sympathy qf your fellow -pilgrims through the darkness, you are balked in your efforts to lead a holy life, and perhaps fall from the high level of your natural faith to the fateful lowlands of doubt as to whether the whole scheme of salvation is not mythical. True religion is independent of any purely intellectual theory of the uni. veise, and is founded on facts proven by the universal experience of man kind. This statement is easily illus trated by childhood. The little one does not understand its mother, has no comprehension whatever of a moth er's love or of the significance of a mothers? discipline. If the baby were gifted with speech and could de scribe its relations to that mother it would make as many mis-statements as we do in describing our relations to God. The mother's providence is whoily misunderstood; even her watch ful care looks like interference with child's rights, and the child might say as Calvin did of the Almighty, that "of her own good pleasure" she pets at one moment and punishes at another. The knowledge that pun ishment and love are entirely consist- with each other, or that mother is still mother even when the child's prayer is denied, is beyond the reach of that narrow intellect, and will be for many a year to come. Mothers and chil dren sometimes eet at odds for this reason, and in like manner we get at odds with the Almighty. But when we come to be men our rainds are large enough tq settle cer tain matters of practical importance It is needless to theorize, for harsh ex perience tells us truths which cannot be gained. The microbe in the watch has learned this lesson and knows that some journeys are dangerous, while others are safe, and from that moment he has a plan of life. He constructs a decalogue for himself, and the '.'Than shalt not" 13 the voice of Imperial law, pot' forbidding him through caprice, but because an infraction of the law is followed by loss and remorse. Every man knows that there is a right and a wrong; has Deen taugnt mis Dy mauy tears and failures; that love brings sun shine, hatred tempest; that filial re lations with toe Infinite resuU in serenity of squl, a reisgn.atipn to harsh events which changes them from a curse to a blessing by some necro mancy whose secret he cannot fathom, while hostile relations end in loneli ness and desperation; that integrity of character" is worth all it costs to ac quire and defend it. Add to all this the prophetic longing for another life, which no argument can suppress, a longing that like the spring on the mountain side will have its way, and a conviction, which seems to be a corn- ponent part of his nature, that in ways unexplained the dear ones in heaven can find a path to earth, drawn by a love which was sacred and strong be fore the funeral bells tolled, and is equally strong and sacred now, and you have an array of facts, corrobor ated by every human life in every clime and every age. That is the basis of the kind of religion which Christ taught. He gave us no expla nation of mysterious problems, but simple truth instead truth most need ful and altogether practical. Build your faith on that foundation and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. Earth will become the primary school for God's University, and God Himself the Teacher, whose love more loving than is His discipline. George H. Hepworth. WHAT DO THEY SAY? Table Talk published some verses from an unclaimed poem, which will tenderly appeal to many stricken hearts: "Oh, what do you think the angels say?" Said the children up in Heaven. 'There's a dear little girl coming home to-day, She's almost ready to fly away From the earth we nsed to live in. Let's ro and open the gates of pearl, Open them wide for this dear little girl," Said the children up in Heaven. "Far on earth do you hear t hem weep?" Said the children up in Heaven, "For the dear little girl has gone to sleep. The shadows fall and the night clouds sweep, O'er the earth we used to live in But we'll go and open the gates of pearl, Oh, why do they weep for the little girl," Said the children up in Heaven. (Jod wanted her here where his little ones meet!" Said the children ud in Heaven, She shall play with us in the golden street. She had grown too fair, she had grown too sweet, For the earth we used to live in: She needed the sunshine, this dear little girl. That gilds this side of the gates of pearl." ' . : .1 11. i -u it cum me uuiiureu up 111 neuven. Fly with her quickly, O angels dear!" Said the children up in Heaven. "Sae! She is coming: Look there! Look there! At the jasper light on her sunny hair Where the veiling clouds are riven Oh, hush, hush, hush! The swift wings furl. For the King himself at the gate of pearl, Is taking her hand, dear tired little girl, Aim leaning her nito Heaven? The Road Parliament. (Atlanta Journal. J One of the most important things the exposition has accomplished is the gathering in Atlanta of many conven tions. We have had a large number of im portant associations, societies and congresses to meet here since the open ing of the exposition and many more corning, uut we uo not nesitate to say that the National Road Parliament which assembled to-day, is second in importance and possibilities to none of these conventions. The awakening of the country to the importance of road improvement is one of the best signs of the country's progress. Some of the States are in the lead of others in this direction, but in all of them there is in greater or less degree a popular interest in the road problem which will grow and produce invaluable results. Those States and communities that have gone ahead and built good roads have furnished object lessons which should rrr . . . 1 lit qe surricieni iq convince me quiiest observer that bad roads are an extrav agance and good roads true economy. The tax upon the people of the country by reason of bad roads amounts to hundreds of millions of dollars a year. The construction and maintenance of good roads throughout the country would add billions of dol lars to the wealt 1 of the people. Good roads seem expensive to short short-sighted economists, but there is no better inve.-tment possible. The road laws in many of the States are farcical, and such States can never reach anything worthy to be called develop, ment until they adopt and - enforce some good system of road building. The ancients were wise in this matter. They have left us roads which have withstood the wear of thousands of years and are still good. A good road once biillt is easily kept iq good qrder and, its benefits are steady and increasing, while a bad road is a con stant drain on the wealth of a commu nity and an effectual barrier on real progress. Nearly three-fourths of the States are represented at the Hoad Parliament qow in session in Atlanta, ymong the delegates are many men of practical experience in road con struction and many who have helped to awaken the present lively interest among the masses on this subj :et. By the deliberations of such a body the cause of good roads will surely be advanced. rtome. Home! How that word touches everv heart thanksgiving Day was first inaugurated in the home a home festival.

WORK OF WRITING AND COMPILING THE REGIMENTAL HISTORIES Of North Carolina Troops A Histo rian for Each Regiment Save One Trie Press Thanked for Publishing the Sketches Judge Clark Makes His Report. The North Carolina Veterans' Asso ciation met during the State Fair re cently held in Raleigh, and Judge Walter Clark read the following report to the association as to the North Caro lina regimental histories: Mr President and Comrades ef the Veterans' Association: At the meeting of the association a year ago a resolution was passed ap pointing me a committee of one to se cure one soldier from each regiment and battalion to write a brief history of his command with a view to publi cation of the complete series by the State in one or more volumes. My en gagements were such that under any other circumstances I should have de clined, but I felt that no soldier should refuse any aid requested of him towards paying proper tribute to the fame of the gallant men who so long have filled soldiers' graves. The task proved more difficult than any one could have imagined. The lapse of thirty years since the close of the war has made wider gaps in our ranks than the musketry and grape shot ot the battlefield. Competent men in many commands were hard to find, and among these many were dif fident of their capacity and some few were too engrossed with the business and needs of the present to be willing to assume the duty requested of them by their comrades. I have written with my own hand considerably over 500 letters in an effort to execute the trust confided to me by you. I have succeeded in procuring a historian for each regiment and department and for several ot the battalions, excepting the Seventy-third and Seventy-fourth Regiments, which being senior reserves, the youngest living member would now be over 80 years of age. Fortunately a sketch of the Seventy-third, written many years ago, has been found, which can be used. The object in procuring the sketch of each command to be written by one who had served therein was to have an authentic record from eye-witnesses of a part at least of the events recorded, for few soldiers served the entire four years in any command without absence from wounds, furlough or other cause. To add to the correctness of these sketches, therefore, the idea was con ceived of having each sketch published in the newspaper circulating most argely in the section where that com mand was principally raised, with a request that the survivors might send in suggestions, corrections and amend ments to the regimental historian, who might make all needed changes before the sketches were finally issued in book form. The press of North Carolina, with the public spirit and patriotism which has always especially marked the press of this State, readily responded to this call upon their columns for which this association owes them grateful thanks. Each paper has cheerfully published every sketch sent to it but it has so happened that up to this time the heaviest call has been upon the col umns of the Charlotte Observer due to the fact that the extensive circulation ot that paper is in the great white belt of North Carolina, the piedmont coun try of our State, which furnished so arge a per cent of our troops, the east ern section having a lare slave pop ulation and beyond the Blue Ridge being at that time relatively thinly populated. While all sections did their full duty, the piedmont country had the largest per cent of materials for soldiers.

It is to be regretted that this work had not been begun sooner. Oar com rades are beginning to fall around us like leaves in autumn. Of the 80 his torians selected, already three have died Gen. Barringer, of the First Cav alry, iust after finishing the sketch of his regiment, and Col. J. V. Jordan, of the Thirty-first Regiment, and Cipt. M. E. Carter, of the Sixty-fourth Regi ment, unfortunately before completing theirs. When all these sketches are in they will constitute 1,000 or 1,200 pages of invaluable and anthentic material, which will perhaps make two volumes. You have already appointed a com mittee to request the Legislature to authorize the printing and binding of this matter by the State. Had care been taken to have similar sketches of each of our regiments in the Revolutionary and other wars written by participants, it would be exceedingly interesting and valuable. But North Carolina, who has always known how to make history, has been careless in recording the deeds of her heroic sons. More than 2,000 years ago, Pericles, in his oration over his countrymen who had fallen in a great war, said with pro phetic truth: "The whole earth is their sepulchre and in all times when ever there is speech of great deeds they shall be held in loving remem brance." It is our duty, the duty of our State and of this generation, to see that tne same immortality snau preserve the fame of our brethren who died in behalf of North Carolina and the Confederacy. Respectfully submitted, Walter Clark. There is nothing that causes women greater discomfort and misery than the constantly recurring Headache. Men suf fer less with Headache.

THE What to Study When You Arrive Report of The Chairmen of the Com mittees Forming the Jury of Award North Carolina Receives Honorable riention Some Interesting Features Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 21st. At a meeting to-day of the jury of highest awards of the Cotton States and in ternational Exposition, the following address to the public was adopted. The jury is made up of the chairmen of all the special committees on awards, which with Dr. D. C. Gilman, of the Johns Hopkins University, as chair man, consists of many of the most em inent men in the United States. The address is as follows : Cotton States and Interna- tional Exposition, S Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 21st, '95. ) To The People of the United States: The undersigned jurors and mem bers of the highest board of award, having visited the principal depart ments of the Atlanta Exposition and having had the advantage of guidance and suggestions from the most quali fied experts, think it important to com municate our impressions to the public throughout the country by the agency of the newspaper press. In advance of such reports as may be hereafter made to the constituted authorities, we desire to call attention to the educational value of the Atlanta Exposition, its im portant relations to industry, and its manifold indications of the progress of the useful and liberal arts. But in this brief paper we can only indicate a few of the most important significant characteristics: After reference to the instructive government cxh'bit, the second head is as follows: 2 We admire the civic pride dis played by the citizens of Atlanta, "the Gate City of the South," which in 30 years has risen from the devas tations of fire and sword, poverty and distress, and now illustrates in many ways, and especially in this exposition, what may be done for the advance ment of a vast region by the union, en terprise, generosity, knowledge and skill of an unselfish and voluntary body of citizens harmoniously organized. The varied and inexhaustible re sources of the cotton States, their min eral wealth, agricultural products, man. ufactures and railroads, as well as their systems of education, are well dis played in many departments of the exposition, but especially in the com prehensive exhibits that have been made by the States of Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas. Section 4 refers to the many admi rable signs of inter-State co-operation and social intercourse. It concludes: In addition to ihe buildings of the cot ton States, those constructed by New York, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts and Illinois, and that of- California, with its contents, afford additional evi dences of this friendly relationship. 5 Women have made most impor tant additions to this exposition. The Woman's Building, designed by a wo man, is entitled, in the opinion of one of our most highly qualified judges, to a place next to the highest among all the construct ioas ot Piedmont Park. The illustrations of woman's work are attractive and suggestive. There is here a rare opportunity to see many original documents a d portraits The educational and charitable work is excellent, and in all departments of embroidery and other branches of dec orative art the exhibits of the Woman's Building are unsurpassed. Section 6 refers with favorable com mendation to the electrical and ma chinery exhibits, etc., and concludes: The contents of the building devoted to mines and forestry, is one of the most interesting exhibits, containing admirable examples of our natural re sources. Let the observer notice with out fail, a model of the wearing out or erosion of a farm, after the forests were cut down, and its restoration when the planting of trees began. Section 7 asks attention to the ex hibits that illustrate the progress of education and science. 8 The advancement of the col ored population in intelligence, indus try and enterprise is shown (though apart from the educational exhibits, not as adequately shown as for their own sake we could wish) in the Negro Building, where may be seen the illus trations of the steps by which an eman cipated race is advancing in freedom, knowledge, skill and thrift. Every visitor should observe with an appre ciative spirit, this suggestive and com prehensive exhibit. The attitude of the authorities of the exposition to wards the colored race has received wide-spread recognition and approba tion. 9. The exposition affords very striking evidence that the last ten years have been prolific in inventions for saving time and for economizing the nervous force of those who work with their brains. It is worth while to note the general use ot stenography, type writing, long distance telephone, phonography and other devices which may be called nerve-saving, and lite saving inventions. 10. The internal character of the exposition is not its principal feature, five foreign governments, namely, the Argentine Republic, Mexico, Costa Rica, Venezuela and Chili, being rep resented by official commissioners. Other countries are represented by the contributions of private exhibitors,; which have added much to the interest of the display. Special mention ; should be made of Austria, Denmark, i France, Germany, Great Britian, Italy, ' Sweden, and also of India, Japan and J China. Ihe collective ex hibits made by the Southern Railway and also by the Seaboard Air Line, the Plant System of Florida, bring out in vivid outline the advantages of the re gions through which these railroads are constructed. 11. We earnestly advise the teach ers of colleges and schools, near and remote, to encourage their scholars to come and study this exposition, ac companied by competent guides. With proper explanations, easfly to be se cured if a little effort is made, intelli gent youth may learn in a few days' visit to the exposition, more than would be learned in weeks or months of ordinary study. Manufacturers, merchants, miners, etc., are also ad vised to attend. 12. In conclusion we congratulate the directors of the Ailanta Exposition on the success that has attended their efforts, on their public spirit, energy and resolution. We thank the mayor and the citizens of Atlanta for their generous hospitality; we declare our opinion that the State of Georgia, and the group of cotton States associated with Georgia in this exposition, de serve trom every State in the union, recognition, honor and gratitude. A long list of signers follows, headed by A. E. Stevenson, Vice-President of the United States, and D. C. Gilman, president of Johns Hopkins University and commissioner of awards of the At lanta Exposition. Eugene Field. Charlotte Observer. It is well that Eugene Field lived. He wrote much to cheer men, to in spire them, to make them better, to make them go about the toil and drudgery of every day's monotonous existence with lighter hearts. He wrote much to touch the tenderer minor chord of men's heart strings. But if he had lived and died and writ ten but one poem he had lived well, and after life's fitful fever would have slept well. These are the lines : The little toy dog Is covered with dust. But sturdy and staunch he stands; And the little toy soldier is red with rust, And his musket moulds in his hands. Time was when the little toy dog was new And the soldier was passing fair. And that was the time when our little Boy Blue Kissed them and put them there. "Now, don't you go till I come," ho said. "And don't you make any noise!" So toddling off to his trundle-bed He dreamt of his pretty toys. And as he was dreaming an angel song Awakened our little lioy Blue Oh, the years are many, the years are long, But the little toy friends are true. Aye faithful to little Hoy Blue they stand. Each in the same old place. Awaiting the touch of a little hand. The smile of a little face. And they wonder, as waiting these long years through. In the dust of that little chair. What has become of our littlo Boy Blue, Since he kissed them and put them there. The possession of "Little Boy Blue" amongst our treasures is worth the life of Eugene Field. Field was a newspaper man and all the traternity Joved him and were proud of him. He scribbled these lines about the distinguished and ven erable editor of the New York Sun: "But bless ye, Mr. Dana! May ye live a thousan' years To sort o' keep things lively in this vale of human tears; An' may 1 live a thousan' too a thousan' less a day. For I shouldn't like to be on earth to hear you'd passed away." Poor Field! He doubtless thought he would out-live the journalist, but alas! for human calculations. But his 45 years of life were full of love from the time of his romantic college- boy courtship to the end, and that counts for a great deal. A devoted wife and seven children survive him. Field was an optimist and his poetry was all smiles and wings, lie was the kind of a man we hate to give up. Ben Hill on Lee. fWinston Sentinel. 1 Gen. Longstreet has been charged with adverse criticism of the peerless Robert E. Lee, which charge has been denied by Longstreet. The incident recalls a just but grand and glowing tribute to the excellence of the great Confederate Commander by the late Hon. Benjamin H. Hill, of Georgia. It is as follows: "lie was a foe without hate, a friend without trencher', a noldier without cruelty, and a victim without murmur ing, lie was a public officer without vie pa a nrivnte citizen without wroo" : a neighbor without reproach, a Chris tian without hypocrisy, and a man without guile. Me was a C:esar with out his ambition, Frederick without his tyranny. Napoleon without his self- j ishness, and Washington without his ; reward. He was as obedient to au- thority as a (servant, and royal in au-' thority a a king. lie was as gentle 1 as a woman in life, pure aud modest' as a virgin in thought, watchlul as a Koman vestal, submissive to law as i Socrates, and grand in battle as Achilles." This compact but comprehensive ,.' ' , tribute is a literary gem and is tesplen- dent with the radiance of truth. We would be sorry indeed if any Ameri can and particularly a Southern Gen eral, should attempt to cast a blur; upon the personal or military charac-i ter of the great and beloved Lee. We hope there is no foundation for the re port that Gen. Longs reet has at tempted to do so. Fidelity is seven-tenths of business success. Parton. NO. 48.
