Baptist Church, The dedication of the Baptist church in Lincoluton was the con summation of hopes and desires long deferred. For many years the few members had struggled and worked with a heroism born of the cause which they represented. For ten years a debt has been hanging over tho church with but little pros pect of its being paid. Two years ago Rev. M. P. Matheny held a meeting of eight days and afterward took charge of the church, aud from that time the church took on new life and began a new struggle for deliverance from debt. This ef tort they have continued under the leadership of the present pastor, Rev. C. E. Gower. The church has not only paid off the debt of $400 which was upon the house, but have paiuted it with- in and put in a very beautiful car- ; pet, aud iu many ways added to the j attractiveness of the house. Ou last Sunday the house was crowded j to ihe fullest exteut and the deaica tion sermon was preached by Rav. M. P, Matheny from Pealm 113: "If the foundation be destroyed, what can the righteous dot" The dedicatory prayer was offered by the pastor, aud thus closed one of the happiest days of the Baptist church ot Lincolnton.

For the Courier. Letter From Virginia. Editor Courier : So many friends and relatives in Lincoln aud Gaston counties have asked me to write to them, that it would be al most an endless task to comply with their request, especially with the amcunt of work that I have to do here. Therefore I have conclud ed to make one writing serve a good many by giving you my letter for publication. I We arrived at Woodstock. Va., OQ the 23rd of jaly 8afeiy. We were delayed on our way about 24 hours by the trains being behind time. Though somewhat tired, our children stood the trip much better than we bad expected. All were well aud hearty, except our little AIay who ta(j become jaomewhat yea 81ck Dut this only iaate(i a few days and she ia real well D0Wt th r'oat. of our triD. of over four huudre(i miieSi wa9 $31-21, freight ( . ... f, , of our trip we attribute to the kind-1 ness and energy of Mr. Davidson, your ticket agent at Lincolnton. Wa hope that the people of Lincoln ton and surrounding county wili ap predate the treasure they have in the man at the Narrow-guage de pot. We meet but few railroad men like him. We believe him to be a man not only of great kindness but the beat of it is, to be a Christ ian. What a blessed thing if we could eay this abont all railroad men I While we can but thank him for his kindness, God will bless him. The people here have been very kind to us. They met us at the de pot with conveyances, and have takt en good care of us ever since. While all have been very kind to na we cannot refrain from speaking espe cially of the widow Burner, with whom we made our home for about two weeks. She and her family were bo kind to as that oar children did not hesitate to call her house home. We again can only thank her, bat God will bless her lor ber kindness. ' The people here did not only show their appreciation at first, but they nave kept it up. When we moved, besides buying the furniture that was necessary for the parsonage, they gave us such things as we needed to live on such as flour, meat, lard, apple butter, etc. The people continue to give. We have not had to buy anything to eat since we have been here, but some flour and coffee. This is all given us outside of our salary. The peon pie tell us that if we get in need, we must let them know and we can have such things as we want. Now, wo do not give thia account to boast, but that our people in N. C. may profit by it. It is no Lard raatter for a charge to support a pastor if they are only careful. Many things the people can give their pastor that they will never miss, and it is as good to him as the money. Ifycu do not believe it, brethren, try it. 1 have no small amonnt of work to do. The charge is considerably acat'erod. The fartherest point from where I live is about 18 miles. I have five, preaching places and will soon have four classes ot cate oli u men.. I have so much travel ing to do that I can, at times, only be at home a few days in a week. We are how living near Cabin Hill, and will remain here till the parsonage is completed. The peo- pie think they will have it ready for as by spring. All persons wishing to correspond with us will please direct to Cabin Hill, Shenandoah Co., Va. Yours very respectfully, M. h: Carpenter. For the courier. Notes. The State ot Vermont had a jubi lee on the 19th of August and dedi cated a monument at Bennington, where the march of the proud Brits ish General, Burgoyne, was first successfully resisted. Vermont helped the colonies to win indepen dence, but did not become one of tue United States till 1791- The public spirit and persistent efforts of the Revolutionary years are ma- cenalized in a noble structure which the Vermonters in their centennial year erect as their messenger to posterity. All the other States save one were first colonies of a foreign power, or territories of the United States, except Vermont. Oaly one other State came into the Union as an independent State. What State was it? Will socje sohool in Lin coln county answer in the Courier! "Times change and we change with them."' Once it was reasona bly expected that these rules would be respected : 1. "When the time appoiuted tor public worship is come, let the people enter the church and take their seats iu a decent, grave, and reverent wanner." 2. "In time of public, worship let all the people attend with gravity and rev erence; forbearing to read anything except what the minister is then reading ; abstainiug from all whis periog, from salutatfous of persons present or coming inj and from gaz iog about, sleeping, smiling, and all other indecent behavior." But how different now 1 There is a time to laugh, to talk, to be brilliant, merry, funny (and silly); and is it not inde cent to be so iu a time of prayer and praise T But some people would be insulted if their behavior on such occasions was regarded as indecent. Young people who have parents are expected to kuow what decent be havior is, but those who have no parents and attend church services and behave indecently, will not take . .. , .M .Ji and behave indecently, kindly any admonition, To belong to a "good tamily' is something to be grateful for but not to be proud of. The Jews prided themselves ou belonging to a good family, aud they were Abraham's seed ; but the great Teacher showed them that to be the true child of a good family one must be good himi self, and the distinction between a good family and a bad one is the line that separates children of God from children of the devil (John 8; 40.44). Every member of a good family is on one side of that line aud will be true, loyal, respectful, and devoted to that family and his behavior will show it- It seems like some blight and in telligent young people are so afraid of being stiff aud dull that they give pastors, superintendents and teachers to understand they will leave church and Sundayeschool if they are expected to be quiet and attentive. They wili be missed, but tbey can be better spared than the young people who respect the Bible and want to learn what it teaches, and are not in a panic to have some fun, R. Z, J.
