If von are to have a fair or festival it would be well to keep out these objectionable features. Tin: NKW CONFEttFNCF YEAR. The past year has Wen to the mem bers of the North Carolina Conference a year of extraordinary trials, labors ami success. Under Cod's Idessing, our ministry ban been one of power and through our instrumentality over ".000 souls have been converted and added to the church, whih t -V-.ViO infants have been baptized, and an incie:ise ot over o.OOO. Sunday school scholars rf ported These are grand results, :iml wore accomplished amid yrcat privations, aaJ, in some in stance, actual want, Rut brethren vot; have endured them patiently, and liave labored with fidelity and zeal in your Master's vineyard Eet the success of the past encourage von to increased activitv in time to j - -come. Jn entering upon the duties of another vear, let us urge each pastor to pay special attention to the jastord work. Many of us, we fear, are sadly defic ient in this department of ministerial labor. We toil with commendable Zealand earnestness for the conversion of sinners, we warn them dav nil I night with tears, and leave no proper means untried to brimr them int.) the Church This accomplished, we rely too much upon the pulpit to instruct them in righteousness, and confirm them in the faith. Eet us go forth in that self denying devotion which welcomes toil in that self-denying devotion to the Hock which by holy, humble and labori ous pastoral effort, is constantly aiming to raise them to a higher standard of ob ligation and of privilege. Eet us re solve that thei'- wants in this respect shall be fully met. Act like men lilled with what Eord Shaftsbury was pleased to call, "the heroic passion of saving souls" a pas sion which will not confine its influence to the pulpit, but will carry you to the homes of the aged and afflicted, of the widow and her fatherless children, to the poverty stricken, and distressed ones of ... i . i your fiocK .viw go not smipiy to pay them a social visit, and to en quire kindly after theii temporal welfaie, but go as ministers of Christ to seek af ter their spiritual good, lo this faith fully among all the families of your charge, and 3-011 will arouse the slum bering, bring back the erring, comfort the sorrowing, and succor the tempted. May the present year witness larger re sults than even the past PERSON. R .MENTION. l!ev. S. A. Weber has been elected editor of the Southern Christian Advo cate, by the South Carolina Conference Rev. 1. E. Hermon, with four of his blooming daughters, called at our oft ice last Thursday. He whs en route for his nen- charge, Smiihfiekl. The daughter of the late Commodore Vanderbilt, Mrs. Maty A Ea Ban, and one of the contestants of his will, was married last Tuesday week to Francis , J'.erger. The Nashvilln Advo cate savs : ''The l.'ev. T. A. lioone, of the North' Carolina "Conference, has the per.-evrance of his great kinsman, Daniel: and, like the illustrious pioneer, he is a marksman.

Chris' inn Advent", is uttering from what he calls, "pen paralysis" in his right arm, which was caused by too much writing. We hope that resting awhile from his manifold duties will restore him to perfect health.

A former trustee of the Brooklyn Tabernacle has brought a suit against the Tabernacle for $13,000, the amount he subscribed under allege 1 false rep re sentations .

Ir von are a member of the Church bow can you dance, or attend dancing parties? Have you not solemnly prom isfd to observe the disciplinary regula tions of the church '? It is contrary te our Discipline to dance; then, if you indulge in it, do you not violate your solemn vow and perjure yourself? Think of it seriously iu this light before you dance again. "Tnr. Haoiiv 'J4," a Social Band of this city .will accept the thanks of the Editors of the Advocate for an invita tion to their Christmas Entertainment. They are to have a tree and supper. We wi.di them a delightful evening. We hope to be present. There are two Social Bauds of young people iu this city which meet regularly every month. They spend the time pleaseutly without in dulging in objectionable amusements. They deserve great credit for the way in which they spend these evenings. -4 - TiiKiti: are some christian families who lime a uti.it.uui of having an eyq ito'l every Christinas. They seem to f..el that they h ave a special license to drink a little lijuor on Christmas oc casions. If there is anything in the Bible that gives them this special priv- liege, we have never rer.n it. it seems Jo ns that if there is any one time when we should be. more careful to abstain from evil and the appearance of it, that time is when we are celebrating the an niversary of our Savior's birth. It is a btrai.ge idea that christians may celebrate the birthday of Jesus by drinking spiritu ous liipior. A t.000 old custom, which i almost entirely a thing of the past, was that of having what are termed "watch-nights." It used to be the custom to meet in the church and make a religious service of the last hour of the old year and the first of the new. These meetings were fre quently very solemn and often profitable, spiritually . Would it not be well for ias' to look into the matter and see whether or not we could have a pleas ant and profitable watch-night at the close of this year? If properly conduct ed one would be productive of good. By the time the present issue reaches the most of our readers the ever-moving hand ot time will have reached, 011 the dial, the mark of Christmas. .V little ver years ago the joyful an nouncement of a Savior's birth rang from the angelic lips, echoed and ie- echoed through the hills and plains of Judea. and fell in lingering sweetness upon the ears of the faithful shejdierds. That announcement has been sounding down through the ages, as year after year this glorious festival rolls around. The birth day of the Son of iod the Savior of the world ! When Jesus was born heaven ran over with joy and sent an angelic choir to earth to chant his natal song, and the first thing wa a shout, "Glory to Cod in the highest. X 1 .1.1., .,-.1 , -o woiuier mat shout : j hey liai been looking into the mystery for year they had watched every unfolding of the great plan of salvation and here was: a manifestation of Cod's love an power that thrilled their hearts, and, in their bounding joy, the first thing they saw in it was the glory of God, am then the peace and good-will for earth Let us follow the example of the an gel's. (Jn this festive fiiniiversarv let all our actions be such as shall redound in glory to God and be promotive of peace on earth. Eet the soug of the angel find a responsive chord in our hearts, and let it roll on. Eet every church bell ring it out upon the morning air, let every orchestra swell with it, let every choir chant it, let every mortal tongue take it up and repeat it with sounding joy, let the arches of every church tremble with it, let every child lisp it, let every bird wing it, let every zephyr whisper it waft it out upon the seas, send it ringing and sounding through all the earth, and let it gather volume as it roils, until the whole uni verse shall join in its swelling nuniberi and let it sound on, with joyful acclaim, until its notes shall be hushed to raise the new song in the midst of the Para- lise of (.iod. Can you allow a dancing party at -our house ? You say you cannot pre vent it and be polite. You ought to rule your own household, and the po liteness that ieuire you to submit to 'lancing in your family at Christmas, or at any other time, is contrary to Chris tianity. A Methodist who allows dancing under his roof to save his po liteness, brings a reproach upon his church and sacrifices the principles of his religion at the altar of worldly eti quette I he modern dance is ruining thousands of ouv young people, and it is time fov all chrUtians, and especially for Methodists, to tak a bold, firm po sition against it. li r was upon the following, which ai- peared in the proceedings 0r jate Conference, that the Charlotte Observer based the statement, that with a sin gle exception there was no ini,,istei. charged with conduct unbecomii,,, a preacher of the Gospel: "Rev. 1). r Bruton announced that he had in ins possession the papers relating to the ex pulsion of Rev. W. 15. Richardson, a local preacher, which he would place in the hands of the secretary." Rev. V. R. Richardson was not a member of the Conference. he was a local preach er, but we can very readily see how the Observer came to make the statement referred to. idrocate that Bishop Giegg, some months since made Bishop of the Re fornii'd Episcopal ('lunch, and wlo was so successfully operating in England, has left that Church and set up I himself.
