J Policy and necessity demanded a more in- j tens: levelopment of the educational Trinity College became the natural rallying point for the hosts of Methodism, and for the last few vears has been the converging point of Methodist hopes, j payers, and practical activities. j There are few who will not profess K-ir-t ves sntisfifd with flip resn ts. ouu;t of fWhiinr over "Southern out- i loval Methodist can gaze upon ! . . w - - - - - iOVUl Tnnity College, contemplate her rich ma-1 ttnai, intellectual, and spiritual equip ment, and look along the shining track ahead, without thanking God for the won-! 1 f 1 ruii success with which He has crown- fcd His institution. It is a matter of satisfaction to us that, while special attention has been given to Trinity College, our other colleges have llfJt suffered, but, on the contrary, have advanced step by step with Trinity.

It is not due to ue isience of the opinion that District ORGAN OF THE NORTH schools and the so-called " correlated "! schools have been a failure.

At Virdeu and Car-! -i -ill i i-i i i terville similar trouble has occurred. On iast Sunday, at Carterville, seven negroes Were killed. Since October 13, 1898, fif teen negroes have been killed and twenty eight wounded in the State of Illinois. Thev suffered this fate simply because they were not wanted as miners. The record is a bad one and should cause our iournalistic neighbors who are in the ! rao - es " to soften somewhat their feelings i iiauit vx m.

Our neonle - sometimes lose thought and feel ing when a black brute assails the chasti ty of our womanhood. But wdien did any one in the South ever lift a finger against a black man for attempting to earn his bread by the sweat of his brow ? A MODERN EVIL. The Midland Methodist, in its last is sue, was deploring the fact that Sunday theatricals had made their advent into the sober city of Knoxville. We would presume from the context that the street car company was the chief sinner in the business. These trolley lines are great co'nveniencies, and the managers are to be commended for their enterprise. Yet these lines are often utilized by the Prince of the powers of darkness. We sympathize with the Midland. Over here in the Old North State we have a progressive city, where God's day is laid as a saennce upon of Mammon, bv a certain street Thev have not lnaugu- company.

Key West has ? 0 . suffered from the epidemic for over three weeks, and now there are 400 cases. The mortality is very low. The disease must run its course, as Key West is below the frost line. Two new cases have been re ported in New Orleans by the Board of Health. The fever is said to be under control at Havana. New Series. Vol. 1, No. 32. From Other Tripods. A Tust Rebuke. Dr. Andrew Bonar was out in Mr. Moody's garden at Northfield at early morn one day, talking with his host. Along came a band of happy students, who shouted out, "We've been having an all-night prayer-meeting; can't you see our faces shine?'' Dr. Bonar turned to them and said, with a quiet smile and a shake oi the head, "Moses w7ist not that his face shone?" Congrcgationalist. White Fields at Home. If the Methodist Church is to retain its place in the vanguard of a Christian civilization it must revise its methods in j is home mission field. Without abating dv a single degree tlie enectiveness 01 our operations abroad, we are bound by every consideration born of the Gospel we preach to provide for the Christian education of our evangelized, but illiter ate, kinsmen at home. Midland MctJw odist. Angel Visits. God's angels do not come to us, any more than they did to Abraham, with wings, and harps, and halos. We enter tain them unawares. They come, per haps, as new and throbbing affections. They may come as a call to duty, or as an inspiration to hope and faith, or as a leading unto prayer. But they surely come to all of us. Jacob's ladder de scends to the pillow upon which we lay our heads, if only we have grace to think and rest and dream. Sunday School Tunes. Giving Up. Let the man who contemplates giving up his position in the church, or any other field of labor, pause long enough to decide whether he can afford to give up a part of his strength. Let the Sunday school teacher, who is tempted to give up her class, ask herself whether she can afford to lose a particle of her woman hood. For just as surely as we retreat from our post of duty, we leave our man hood or womanhood behind us. We teach our boys not to say bad words; let us teach them never to say, "Give up." Bid them say, "Up? Up and give ! Up and give at 'em !" Or, "Up and give it to them S" if we will ; but never, "Give up." Richmond Christian Advocate. The Difference. "Charity covereth the multitude of sins." Faultfinding hunts for sore places, pulls off the old .scabs, and exposes their ugliness. Faultfinders know exactlv what other people ought to do, but never think of what they ought to do them selves. Charity rejoices over the good it discovers in others, and says nothing of the defects. Faultfinders see the defects of others and magnify and proclaim them, but say nothing of their virtues. Charity sees much good in the church and re joices that it is doing so well. Fault finders see only its shortcomings and de fects and bemoan and lament its moral and spiritual decay. More charity and less faultfinding is what is needed in the home, the church, and the community. The Religions Telescope. High Criticism Responsible. Rev. Dr. MacArthur, of New York, in speaking of the existing disregard of the Sabbath, says with much appositeness and pithiness: "It is not difficult to ac count for the indifference and irreverence which characterize Sunday and its servi ces in recent times. For this deplorable result the unwise and really unscholarly destructive criticism of the Bible is large ly responsible." To which the Presby terian adds: "To the same source is due, in a great degree, the lowering of the standard of truth, equity and honesty. The Bible is the foundation of the insti tions of religion and the guardian of morals, and all efforts to weaken its au thority and to destroy its teachings tend to undermine the sanctity of the Lord's! day and the binding force of the Deca logue and of the Gospel. Destructive higher criticism has left in its train re sults that will outlast the present genera tion, and that can be counteracted only by a deep and pervasive outpouring of the Holy Spirit.
