Prohibition is progressing. Those who are in a position to do i estimate that there will be raised in ihe South this year five hundred and thirty-five millions of bushels of corn, Jlfty-four millions bushels more than last jear. Indications are that there is a jjood crop of everything. What a thanksgiving day we ought to have ! And, if we contribute as God has pros pered us, our assessments for salaries and conference collections will all be paid in full. If they are not paid in full, somebody will rob God. Mass Meetings in the interest of the endowment of Trinity College are siow in order. There ought to be one in every charge in our Conference with in the next six months. If one should &e held in every charge the endowment would be increased to $100,000. What a wonderful opportunity we now have sta a church to do a work that will send blessings down upon our people for years to come. The people are ripe for ibis work. If these mass meetings are siot held in every charge whose fault will it be? If the opportunity now be fore us is not used, who will be to blame ? Header, see to it that you do your duty in this matter. Persox st. church building and par sonage have been sold to the Xorthern Presbyterians for a colored congrega tion in this city. The Person St. con gregation has bought a nice lot higher tip in the city and will build a handsome -jow church en it. Until the new church is. built they will worship in Briggs' Hall on Fayetleville St. They have -srjld the old property well, have bought ihe new lot wisely, and Raleigh will soon have another elegant new Method ist Church. On last Sunday the last services were held in the old church. By special invitation from the pastor and s5ome of the official members, we con ducted the communion service at 11 a. jm. and a Love Feast at 4 p. m. At 11 si., in., Bro. John preached a fine ser mon. We had a profitable day of it. The congregation leaves the old church -with many tender memories clustering about it, but they go with heart and iaope into a better and larger field of ruefulness. Dr. X. II. D. Wilsox, the I'. E., siot being well enough for the trip, the editor of this paper went to Harnett Chapel, on the Buekhorn circuit, to at tend the Quarterly Meeting for that charge on Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 17th and 18th. llev. J. E. Thompson Is the preacher in charge and was promptly at his post with a good at tendance of official members. We had ;t pleasant and profitable time. Bro. Thompson is doing a fine work on the cu cult, which is in excellent condition. One of his worthy local preachers, in speaking of him, said : "Bro. Thomp son is a man the longer you know him :ho better you like him." This is about rJie best compliment he could have paid Ihim. It is a right big undertaking to frill Dr. Wilson's place anywhere, and especially where they think as much of n'.m as they do in Harnett. About the inly thing we succeeded in better than .. i he would have done was in getting new subscribers for the Advocate, a nice club of which we secured. And then we are getting our hand :n acting as P. E. If theirs should hi a vacancy, it may be that somebody will recommend us. We couldn't presume, however, to suggest to the Bishop to make a vacan cy, even to open the place for us. . -o Shall Prohibition Succeed? Everybody condemns drunkenness to day. Even the anti-prohibitionists claim to be opposed to drunkenness. And the politicians who take the stump against prohibition declare most em phatically and vociferously against in temperance. Some of their lectures on the evils resulting from the excessive use of intoxicants are beautiful and touching, but they are unalterably op posed to prohibition. That robs men of their liberty. They are conscien tiously opposed to all "sumptuary laws.' This would be amusing if it were4not such a serious matter. The claim that prohibition is the work of a few fanatics and that it will soon ct me to naught. With the facts that have already gone on record and those tlat are developing every day it is astonishing what a weird and wonderful spell has seemed to par alyze the judgments of men and hold them in thraldom, in spite of evidence and reason. State after State, either by constitutional enactment or local op tion, has thrown oft" its allegiance to liquor and espoused the cause of prohi bition. In other States, county after county, city after city, and town after town have done the same thing. The good news comes from chivalrous Mis souri that six out of seven counties that have voted on local option have been carried by the prohibitionists. And p'ueky, noble little Florida has carried six out of nine counties for prohibition. And Rome, Georgia, with the entire county, has declared against liquor by a good majority. Louisiana bearing the shield of "Justice, Union and Con fidence,'' sounds a note of glorious vic tory from Bienville parish. Out of six wards in the parish four have gone dry. Prohibition is evidently on the tide moving rapidly towards the flood. It is true that Texas was defeated, but still she made a noble struggle for freedom from her most oppressive foe. Never did any State make a more bril liant campaign against the "whiskey devil" than did the Lone Star State. They rolled up the long list of one him- dred and thirty thousand votes for prohi bition. This is supposed to be a major ity of the Americans and democrats of the State; and still the Star of Wash ington says this was accomplished by a few fanatics with Senators Reagen and Moxey to lead them. The day is close at hand when Texas will be numbered among the prohibition states. Such men as Briggs, Heidt, Bishop, Amos, Brinkley and others of the heroic band, will keep the fires burning until anoth or opportunity is presented for a renew al of the contest, or by local option they accomplish the same end. Here is what ths Texas Christian Advocate says: " e recommend that the war on the saloon be incessantly maintain ed. Let not the agitation die. Loca option 3'et remains. Disseminate lit erature. Educate the popular mind. Where there is reasonable hope of vic tory inaugurate local option contests in precinct and county," These Texans have come to the front with this ques tion to stay until a glorious victory is achieved. Fuccess to them at an early day. The intense and wid spread interest manifested in the canvass now being conducted in behalf of prohibition in Tennessee clearly indicates the fact that the question is a live one. The politicians and papers are about equal ly divided. The good men and noble women -are working almost day and night for the success of prohibition. The preachers, as they always are in every moral question, are in the thick est of the fight. Our esteemed friend and brother, llev. T. J. Duncan, seems to be almost ubiquitous. He cannot be bought by the liquor men's money or driven by their threats from the post of duty. Dynamite shells do not disturb him. All eyes will be turned towards the grand old State of Tennessee next Thursday. Let the prayer of faith go up to God from all hearts for complete victory. Dr. Fitzgerald and Bro. Can dler, of the Nashville Advocate, have been sounding bugle blasts, rallying the prohibition forces. They have given no uncertain sound. Their heads are level and their hearts are profoundly concerned on this vital question. What a shout of joy will go up from all along the lines it Tennessee does go for "God and home and native land" next Thurs day. This writer enlisted in the war a gainst liquor when quite a boy, and as his locks are whitening under the sor rows of fifty winters, he is more anxious for victory than when he first enlisted. The evil grows in magnitude more and mere each day we live. Humanity has long tried a costly ex RALEIGH CHRISTIAN periment with alcoholic liquors. The whole world has been the laboratory, men of every age and rank the experi menters. History contains the terrible record of observations made and con clusion reached. Over all has hung a mocking spirit of deceit, which has too often veiled the truth. Is it not amazing that alcohol should have retained its power over mankind so long in spite of the historic record a gainst it? "One is half inclined," says J. T. Edwards, LL.D., "to con nect it with supernatural agencies, and exclaims with the noble, though fallen Cassio, 'Let us call thee devil.' " Dr. Fitzgerald must have felt the same spirit when he named his temperance column. How the list of victims to this monster multiply as we begin to call up ; the history of the wisest ami strongest of mankind ! Conquerors conquered, like Phillip, Alexander, Cambyses and Cyrus; poets, with harps broken, like Edgar Poe; orators, whose fine genius was eclipsed, like Sheridan and Prentiss. But the spell is broken and the chains are being removed from Nations, States, communities and indi viduals. "We expect nothing else but glorious success. To accomplish this prohibition expects ever' true man and woman to do his and her duty. Sowing Seeds by the Wayside. It is related that when Thorwaldsen returned to his native land with those beautiful marble statues, which have made his name so famous, chiseled with patient skill during his studies in Italy, the servant opening them scattered up on the ground the straw in which they were packed. The next summer flow ers from the city of Rome were bloom ing in the streets of Copenhagen from seeds accidentally planted. The hand that had put artistic beauty upon mar ble had unconsciously sown lovely flow ers by the wayside. And so christians, teachers, and preachers, are uncon sciously scattoring the seeds of gospel truths along the road of life. Some times one word leads a soul to Jesus. Sometimes the silent example of piety will influence persons to become relig ious. Sometimes the remembrance of a godly person's prayers and songs will do the work. We cite the following case, which we recently read, but which occurred long since. A poor slave named Moses was so happy when he professed religion that he must needs pray and preach and sing in spite of all his master's commands to the contrary. The sound of the negro's frequent de votions at night disturbed the planter and his family; so to get rid of the an noyance caused by the fervent exercises of Moses, the master decided to sell him, and soon Moses was gone, and his cabin was silent at night. The memo ry, however, of the songs, prayers and exhortations of the pious servant lin gered in the ears of the family, and be came the means of their conversion. The father, mother and children were all led to embrace religion and join the church by the silent influence of the de voted servant. There was a certain man who, having resisted au tne. appeals 01 tne gospej for a long time, was afterwards led to Jesus by standing over the grave of a godly mother, and remembering her piety and the many fer van t prayers she had offered up in his behalf. The moth er had sown the seeds which did not spring up in the conversion of her sen till after her death. A child, half a century ago, dropped into a missionary box one cent. That cent bought and sent out a tract to a mission field, and it became instrumen tal in the conversion of a son of a Bur man chief. He was a man of wide in fluence. Crowds came so hear him talk and explain the gospel as he had experienced it. In one 3-ear 1,500 na tives were baptized as the results of his I labors. Here was a seed "less than all seeds." But there was great power in this little mustard seed. It had vast hidden capability in it. It had the power of becoming a tree. And a tree has the power of producing other trees; so the good work goes on till the heath en land becomes a county of Christian ity and civilization. While on his way to Charleston (1798) Bishop Asbury saw a slave sitting on the bank of a stream in South Carolina fishing. His name was "Punch." He was notorious for a vicious character. The zealous Bishop dismounted, fasten ed his horse to a tree, and seated him self beside the slave. The Bishop en tered into a personal conversation with th3 negro about the salvation of his soul. It had a telling effect. "Punch" began to weep and feel alarmed about the salvation of his soul. After a point ed talk the Bishop sang : "Plunged iu a gulf of dirk despair, We wretched sinners lay, Without one cheering beam of hopo Or sp:-.rk of glimmering' day." The appropriate hymn was sung hearti ly and pathetically. The Bishop then prayed fervently for the salvation of "Punch," and passed on. The slave immediately took up his fishing tackle, hastened home, under pungent convic- ADVOCATE, SEPTJiSS tion. He was soon happily converted, and became an active worker in saving others. "Punch" was instrumental in the salvation of many negroes and the , ,Kft ofi-firi.vn.rds became a UVGlSGCl, YV LIU nreacher. "Punch" had now full liber ty to do good among his associates. He exhorted, prayed, and led them on as a Shepherd his flock. Scores, even hun dreds, were converted through his in strumentalitv. Risdion Asburv, as many other of the pioneers, obeyed the injunction of Paul: "Preach the Word; be instant in seavon, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all loiig-sull'erirjg and doctrine This is a case of doing good "out season." or going out of one's way 01 to do good. It is likely that no sermon ever preached by the tireless Bishop was so fruitful of results is this talk, song, and prayer with "Puuch." was as an acorn producing an oak,which oak yielded bushels of acorns, which being scattered resulted in the growth of a wide-spread forest. It was opening a fountain, which flowed on deepening and widening in its course, watering fields and turning the wheels of n thous and mills-. "Despise not the day o small things," and sow the good seeds beside all waters. -- - Personal Mention. Ex-Gov. Holdex, who has been sick sometime, is out again, we are glad to see. Bro. F. J. Til lev, an excellent lay man of Chatham county, called to see us last Saturday. It was Rev. L. E. Stacey and not Rev. E. L. Stamey that wrote that note from St. John Station in our last issue. The Book Committee of the Metho dist Episcopal Church has elected llev. Geo. 11. Crooks, D. D., of Madison, X. J., to succeed the late Dr. Daniel Cur ry as editor of the Methodist Review. Mr.. Albert Anderson, recently principal of Middleburg Academy, X. C, has gone to the University of Va., to take a medical course. We wish this talented young Methodist brother very great success. Rev. M. T. Best passed through Raleigh last week en route for his home. His health has given way,and rest until Conference is a matter of necessity with him. "We hope by that time that he will be ready for work agai. Rev. J. F. Crowell, President of Trinity College, spent a half day in Raleigh last Friday, en route for Oxford, X. C , to attend the mass meeting there last Sunday. It was a pleasure to greet him in our oilice and around our fireside at home. I Mr. Thomas Guthrie, a son of Rev. T. W. Guthrie, and Mr. John Wilson,""n son of Rev. Dr. X. II. D. Wilson, are among the young men who were licensed to practice law by the Supreme Court in this city this week. We wish them both very great success. Dr. X. II. D. Wilson has been right sick since he left Raleigh. On last Friday he was quite sick. Bishop Key spent that day at his bedside. Saturday he was better, and Sunday he was still better. It is hoped that he will now soon recover. For this his friends will earnestly pray. Rev. X. II. D. Wilson, Jr., has gone to Vanderbilt University to take a course in that institution preparatory to entering the regular work of the min istry. He carries with him the best wishes 0! many friends, who look with interest to his future work in which Le has great promise of eminent useful ness. Rev. P. L. Groome, our Conference Colporteur, passed through Raleigh last Saturday. He is moving about over the State considerably and sells a great many books. We hope all our preach ers and people will co-operate with him in his very important work. He is suc ceeding very well and is doing a fine work. We commend him and his work most cordially to the confidence and patronage of all our people. Bishop Key preached in Winston, X. C, last Sabbath. He is to be in Goldsboro on next Sabbath, atTarboro Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday night, and at Bethel at 11 a. m. on Thursday of next week, from there he comes to Raleigh the 2nd Sunday in October, from Raleigh he goes to Pine ville the 3rd Sunday, and then to the meeting of the Bishops in Xashville Oct. 19th. He does not eat much idle bread. Bishop Duncan could not get to Salem Church and Oxford, X. C. last Saturday and Sunday. He has been suffering from hay fever and his condi tion was such as to render him unable to do the work expected of him at those mass meetings. We all regret this,and so does the Bishop. In several private letters received from him the past week he expresses much regret that he could not be present. We hope he will soon be well again. Rev. Geo. F.

Lesson for Oct. 2nd, 1887, THE CENTURION'S FAITH. Matt. 8, 5-13. OoUfcu Text. "I have not found so great f jith, no, not in Israel ' Matt. 8, 10. introductory. From the double heights , of Hattin the Saviour descended to the plain, and led his disciples toward Capernaum. At th.i gate of the city he was met by a delegation of elders from the syuago gue. They presented a plea in behalf of the Roman centurion who was in command of the local garrison, that the mighty Healer would come out and re store to health a household slave, to whom he was strongly attached. The centurion did not come in person, for he was a Gentile, and he supposed that the Saviour share! in the scruples of the Jews, which would forbid them from entering a Gentile's house. But though a Gentile by birth he was a worshiper of God, and so sincere in his regard for the true religion that he had built a synagogue and presented it to the peo pie of Capernaum. Probably he be longed to that lartf e class of thoughtful, God-fearing Gentiles known as "prose lytes of the gate:" men who had turned from idols to the true God, but not uni ted by circumcision with the Jewish Church, the class out of which came the earliest Gentile Christians when the Gospel was preached by Paul and Bar nabas. This centurion united a strong faith with a humble character. He saw divine things with vision clearer than that of the disciples, realizing that Je sus could command as a Master in the spiritual and invisible realms; and 1 e was content that Jesus could speak the word without entering his Gentile home. The Saviour marveled at his faith, wrought the cure, and gave a prediction of the Gentile's entrance into the kiucr dom of God. Vincent. THOUGHTS ON THE LESSON. BY PRES. J. II. CARLISLE, LL.D. This miracle is described by Matthew. in our lesson, and by Luke vii, 1-10. The two accounts are too much alike to refer to different miracles, and yet there are some points of difference in the two accounts. To harmonize these accounts and others with like or still more im portant variations is one of the duties oi the . Bible teacher. This calls for patient, thorough, reverent study. There are some instances of variations in the different gospels which still wait their satisfactory solution. There are still unexplained difficulties in the Bi ble, before which we must pause in humble conudeuce that there is an ex planation. This, in some cases, is as satisfactory as to know what the ex planation is. The clear part of Revela tion is instructive. So, too, are the wholly dark parts; and the boundary line between the clear and the dark parts. Matthew says the centurion came .uu uag aujs ne sent, just as, in an other case, Matthew says (xx, 10) the mother of James and John came, desir ing a certain tinng oi Jesus, while Mark (x, 35) says James and .Toll sonally with their request. One writer may say mat l'U ite scourged Jesus,and another may describe the soldinra c,n,. ging at Pilate's command. Ihere are several centur ion a ni nr. v tains of one hundred men, spoken of in the Xew Testament, and they are en erally alluded to honorably.
