scathing denunciations" of skin
flints; there were none of tbe ego
tistical pyrotechnics and absurd
illustrations which are now all too
frequently palmed off as the gospel.
If half the pnlpit could grasp the
real philosophy of Christ asset forth
by Dr. Lilly, the pew would he im
measurably elevated. While the
discourse waa mainly on giving, it
was really an analysis of the basic
priuciplea of Christianity. I'uder
three heads the masterful discourse
was divided, and the speaker, with
a clearness indescribable, set forth
the Duty of Giving; the Necessity
of Giving; aud tbe Blessedness of
Giving, every one of which related
to the giver himself not to tbe
effects of his money.
It is the duty of a christian to
give because of bis relation to God,
bia relatiou to mankind, and his
relation to property. He is to God
as his child, aud it become his
dutv to further the kingdom of
w hich he is a member. He Is a
brother of every creature, black,
white, red or browu. who is made
in the image of God, and it is his
duty to help his brother. His prop
erty is not his, but God's, aud he
holds it in trust aud must do asuod
has told him.
The necessity of giving is based
not upou an arbitrary command of
Christ, but arises out of toe very
constitution of man a nature.
Christ's command to give was
merely an interpretation of human
nature. If a man resist bis im
pulse to give he stifles his better
self aud by aud by be becomes sor
did, miserly, ungeuerous, center
ing his whole thought on his prop
erty to tbe exclusion of everything
else, his treasure being earthly he
can rise uo higher; aud if be never
is able to lay up treasures iu heaven
he can never get his heart there,
and if his heart goes not there
neither shall he. It la not a ques
tion of how much money a man
may get, but of bow much man he
will let the money get.
When Christ said that it is more
blessed to give than to receive, he
spoke an absolute truth. If a man
give me a thousand dollars, I have
only it, aud amuo lietteror braver
tbau before; but if by self denial I
am enabled to give a thousand dol
lars, I have acquired self mastery,
self denial, self discipline, benevo
lence, generosity, aud am braver
aud stronger and manlier thereby.
Finally, there are stejvs iu giv
ing: If a mail give a tithe of his
income, lie is a lijeral giver; if he
give as God has prospered him, he
is a generous giver; if he give ac
cording to his power and tsyond,
he is a noble giver; if he give half
bis goods, be is an heroic giver;
but if be give all, be is a royal
giver.
The special timeliness of Dr.
Lilly's sermon arises from the fact
that he ia speaking in tiehalf of
his church's effort to raise "1,0(10,
(100 for missions, aud also from the'
fact that at this time there is what
is known us tho "Laymen's Move
ment," which is an organized effort
to evangelize the whole world in
the next twenty five years. The
originators of this movement lie
lieve that if all christians will do
their duty in the matter of giviug,
each through the regular mission
ary channels of his own church, the
whole world can tie brought to
Christ in this generation. The con
ception is of the greatest grandeur,
and is sweeping over tho entire
country. It has been endorsed by
the State organizations of the sev
eral leading churches in North
Carolina this fall.
After the sermon Dr. Lilly dis
tributed cards, to lie signed by
those who were disposed so to do,
to be retained by them as remind
era. Ou the card are the following
words.
"The Evsneelization of the World in
thii Generation." Let u study how to
do this thing, not how to Ret it done.
When the world sees I linst on nis
cross, tne world win place innm on nu
throne.
When giving becomes all prevalent in
the Church the Church will become all
prevalent in the world.
The Church cannot make Christ klni?
of the world until she has made him
kinu of her own life.

Jos. Q. Browa ea Advertising.
Sir. Joseph li. Brown, president of
the Citizens National Bank of Ral
eigh, has contribute 1 to the Rink
Advertiser an article which ia re
printed in American Banker, devoted
to the subject of newspaper advertis
ing which will be of interest to all
newspaper men. 1 he article is ex
haustive, in a sense, and would make
two or more columns of newspaper
matter, the writer citing some con
crete instances which have come un
der his own observation, where bank
ers have profited through the judi
cious and constant use of printer's
ink. Wo direct attend mi to the
three concluding paragraphs of lit
Brown's letter:
"You hear people say 'so and so is
a good advertiser,' now why is it? It
is because they cannot pick up their
paper without seeing 'so and sos
advertisement. 1 le has always some
thing to say, and they have become
interested in his advertisements in
terested enough to talk about him
and his advertisements. Be like him;
look upon your advertising as an in
vestment, plan it carefully, judicious
ly and thoughtfully; and then regard
the business you get from it as the
surplus. No investment in the world
pays like good advertising. Contin
ually cultivating the crop in the
growing season makes a bounteous
harvest possible. Cultivate good ad
vertising and get a harvest of de
posits. "The fact that the newspapers
which contain the most advertise
ments are the papers that sell the
best, is proof positive that newspaper
advertising is the kind that pays, and
the sort of advertising matter that
the people pay to read. You reach
intelligent people through the n-ws-papers
because the newspapers are
the educators of the masses. People
who do not read them are those who
do not place their deposits in the
banks.
"The banker depends for his pat
ronage upon people who are think
ers; tueretore, an intelligent adver
tisement avill set intelligent people
thinking. A medium which enters
the home and is looked forward to
each day, or week, is the medium in
which to convey your arguments u
the people. Is it the hand bill, the
advertising scheme, or the newspa
per? Judge others by yourself you
read the papers, you read the adver
tisements in tho paers, you patron
ize the merchants who advertise, so
let your light shine through the col
umns of the newspaper it pays."
Bankers everywhere should give
hoed to this good advice, and go and
do likewise.

The taxes are now in the hands of the collec

property levied on or your wages garnisheed,
come on at once and save the cost. I have in

If you would do as you wish to be done by,
you will certainly come.

to place the taxes in the hands of the collector
after the first day of November.

who operated on business lines like a banker; and a young man, too.
lie had lately bought a large cotton farm, at a large figure, ljmt year
he made .!.VHK) worth of atuff on it, which paid all exieii.ies, aalariea
of bimaelf and atwistauta, and tea per cent, on the capital invested.
Looks rood, doeau t It? It did to nun. Tor he aaid he would rather put
money in farm lands of the right kiud than iu anything elxe.
We have an opportunity for some man to doa big thing something
like thia it ia an opportunity that cornea but once iu a lifetime. We
have a 1,(MK) acre farm, with good improvements, everything ready at
hand to do something big. The lute owner bad already begun to do it,
but death prevented him, hence the neeeity of Male. If you are a man
who kuows something when you aee it, come to see us. We can give
any kind of chauee to the right man. Thiuk over thia.
