it THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER : JULY 28, 1896. Christian Life Column. EDITED BT REV. D. H. TUTTLE. Just For To-Day. L?rd, for to morrow and its neea3 I do not pray ; Keep me, my God, from stain of sin, Juat for to day. Let me both diligently work And daily pray. L?t me oe kicd in words and deed, Jdst for to day. Let me be slow to do my will, . Prompt to obey; Help me to overcome my 11 ?sh, l Just for to day. Let m no wrong or idle wcra Unthinkingly say ; Sit thou a peal upon my lips, Just for to day. L?t mc in season, Lord, be grave, In season ga : Let me bo faithful to Thy grace, Just for to day. So for to-morrow and its needs I do not pray ; But kepp me, guide me, 1 :ve me, L"rd, Just for to day. Canon Wilberforce. Excuses. No. II. 1. 4lI don't feel like it."-Silas Bid boy did not 4 'feel like it" when it was his duty to beg his teacher's pardon and promise to be a good boy, but ho had to or sulfur punisbment. So with all who do not feel like giving their hearts to God. 2 "It is so hard to break with sin ful companions." How much harder it will be to go on with them to eter nal ruin ! 3 "Too much to give up." All who reject Christ on this account are like the man who when the ship was sink ing would save his gold at any expense, aud so tied it to his waist, and thus by it he was borne to tbe bottom of the sea. "Too much to give up" cost him his life. It has cost others life eternal. 4. "Waiting for a special call. " Tnat reminds us of a man remaining abed anile sing his breakfast because the bell rang for every one instoad of each being called by name. The Gjspel "whosoever" rings for all. 5. "Cannot understand the Bible." Tbat is like a child refusing to learn his letters because he cannot read. Christ said, "If any man will do His will ho shall know of the doctrine." You can understand all of the Bible that you will obey. Try it. 6. "I balieve that God is too good to punish his children hereafter." So do I. But how can you claim to be a child of his when you do not do his will? lie that knoweth his duty and doeth it not shall bo beaten with many stripe. ; 7. "I belong to the c'ourch." S3 did Judas. Annania3 and Saphira. Have you been converted? Do you "love the brethren?" What work are you doing purely for Jesus' sake? Matt. 7:21. S "I am not afraid to die." Why not? la it because you believe that death ends &li? Yjur belief dees not make it so Hell's torment will be the greater because you eid not expect it. Give your soul the benefit of the doubt. Tne Bible warn3 ycu. Sinner, turn; why will ye die? God, me Soint, asks you why ! He who all you lives hath strove, . Wood your to embrace hi love: Will yc" not his grace receive? Will yc still refuse to live? Why, ye long sought, sinners, why Will ye grieve your G d, and die? Enthusiastically Endorsed. The Catalogue of Guilford College is before mo Tvo things wo notice that have our enthusiastic endorsement. The first one Tobcx): "The use of tobceo is so irj irious in its f il jcts upon the mind3 and bodies of the young, that its use is prohibited. We wish pupils to know cur regula tion on thi3 subject before they enter. If any, after entering, shall bo found so addicted to the uao of tobacco as to be unwilling to give it up for the sake cf better health, more cleanly habits. 1 c'.earer mental perception, we shall wi'liair to eie such a certificate of an b honorable dismissal, but cannot retain them in the College." Tnank God for cne institution that firmly take? in stand against this greai and still grov?iug evil. Second: "The rep-din cf pernicious literature, the u3 of intoxicating drinks, habit nil indulgence in profane language- tarry int; pi3tol3 or othei' dangerous j weapons would bj considered grave 4-r nes. and treated accordingly." Would that all our institutions of irninz would take tho same stand af: ninst these great evils. We like also the co educational work that i3 done at Gail ford. The Parable of Tobacco Then shall the Kingdom of Sitan be likened unto a grain of tub.co seed, which, though exceedingly small, be ing cast into the ground, grow and be cams a great plant, and spread its leaves rank and broad, eo that huge ad vile worms made their habitations thereon. And it camo to pass in course of timo that the sons of men beheld it and thought it beautiful to look upon, much to be desired to make lads look big and manly. So they put forth their hands and did chew thereof. And soma it made ill and others to vomit most fil thily. Yet they returned to their chewing, and it grew upon them eo that they became weak and unminly, and said: "We are enslaved and can't c;ase from chewing it." And the mouths of all that were enslaved be came foul and were seized with vio lent spitting, and they did spit even in ladies' parlors, and in the house of the Lord. And the saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby. And, in the course of time it came to pass that others snuff -d it, and were taken suddenly with nasal spasms and did sneeze with mighty sneezes, inso much that their eyes filled with tears and they did look exceedingly silly. And yet others cunningly wroght the leaves thereof into rolls, and did set fire to one end thereof and suck vehemently at the other end thereof and did look grave and calf-like, and the smoke of the defilement ascends up forever and forever. And the cultivation thereof became a great and mighty business in the earth, and the merchantmen waxed rich by commerce thereof. And it came to pass that even the ministers of grace defiled themselves therewith, and the poor, who could not buy bread, nor shoes, nor books for their little ones, spent their earnings for it. And the Lord was greatly displeased therewith and said: "Wherefore this waste? Why do these little ones lack bread, shoes and books? Turn now your fields into corn and wheat and put this evil thing from you and be temperate and defile not yourself any more; and I will bless you and cause my face to shine upon you." But they all excleimed with one accord: "We cannot cease from chewing, sniffing and puffing ; we are slaves to the weed." The Manna. The Tyranny of Temper. Love is not easily provoked." Wo are inclined to look upon bad temper as a very harmless weakness. We speak cf it as a mere iLfirmity of na ture, a family failing, a matter of tem pcramnt, not a thing to be taken into very seri us account in estimating a man's character. The peculiarity of ill temper is that it if the vice of the virtuous. It is often the one blot on an otherwise noble character. You know men who aro all but perfect, and women who would be entirely perfect but for an easily rufll d, quick tem pered, or "touchy" disposition. Tnis compatibility of ill temper with high moral character is ono of the saddest problems of ethics. Th3 truth is, there are two great classes of sins sins of the b:dy and sins of tho disposition. Toe prodigal son may bo taken as a type of the first, tho elder brother of the second. Now, society has no doubt whatever as to which of these is the worst. Its brand falls without a chal lenge upon the prodigal. The Church man. The Sin of blander. The New York Oo3erver ' remarks that on a recent Sunday a minister was heard to pray, with reference to the controversies impending during the present Presidential c impaign : "Lord, keep our people from the sin of slan der," and then comments as follows: "At the present juncture there is espo cial need of such petition. Sl inder is not only an cffjnse against the law of man, but also a sin in the sight of God. And there is no reason why a Presi dential campaign, however oj citing, should eveko false juigment, mean witticisms, or slanderous suggestions of lies that are no whiter because di rected against a possible occupant of the White House. If a man has in him any Christianity at ail, it et o ild be of a type virile rnough to s- and tbe strain of caucus and convention and can vass " Ivy From 1 wo Graves The Ivy Committee of the gradu t ing c!as3 in Y:nle University gaided no toriety at the recent Commencement by accepting in the name of the class a slip of iy from tho tomb of G?nen 1 R-jbirt E L?e, to bo planted :n tbe college grounds according to custom. This action was bitterly criticised in a oubltc address by tho Kev. Joseph H Twioheil, of Hartford, Conn., a Umou vfttcrau and a trustee of the university, and was tbesubj ctot mach common fc. At the alumni ameer oa June 25 h, the Hon.

For twenty years, ho siid, th? ivy of his own clas?s had pined until the c immitteo planted two slips Hide by side one taken from Melrose Abbey, the other from Irving' home at Sua s'de Together the glands had flour ished, and now were twined as one beautiful vine. 4 L?t this Class of 96 he said, "disturb not the twig from tr.e grave of the Southern hero, but rather plant by its side an ivy from the tomb of Theodore Winthrop, the first Yale man who gave his life for the Union, i i., uv r,r-nxT iiti toeretLer in sun i l, arm hnl nt OUT . ana stiower, tu uumf, - - reunited nation." FROM GATES COUNTY. Correspondence of the Progressive Farmer. Wiggins X Roads, N. C. I have changed my home and my name but my heart and sentiments are .l'ust the same they use to be. We are having lots of rain and the crops are badly injured. But I visit you not to speak on the crop of vegitation now in the Old North State, but of the crop planted and cultivated by the reform ers of of this fair land of ours and around whose bright silver standard we expect to throw up our old hats (if we have any) on the return of the reapers from the harvest fields on the 6 ;h cf next November. "Rally around the flag boys" for there is strength in union. We must strive for the inter est of labor, uphold the hacda of such men as Butler, Teller and Dr. Thomp son. Men that if they fiad their party wrong will confess their party is wrong, leave it and go for the right. Mr. Butler and Dr. Thompson left the Democratic ranks and are now with the Populists for reform and silver. Mr. Teller left the Republican ranks ands and is now a silver man, and if he is the Populist party will be his home You will find suoh m?n worthy of your confidence, and had I space and time, both of which would take an immense quantity to mention even the leading men of each party that say they must have a home with us, for they must have free silver to save our beloved country from financial ruin and there is no hope for that from either of the old parties. Where is the President of the Al liauce? In my beloved old home coun ty, EJgecombe. Capt. J. B. Lloyd, is a gentleman of old Edgecombe, and we will ever bo proud of him, for he is onaj oi ner noblest sons. L.et us near trom you Capt. Lloyd, if only a few words. Who do you think can come nearest carrying the South and West. Who ever r.e is, is tho one for us to draw out for tho President's chair, for the 3outh and West must come together for the laboring class and f jr the masses of the people before we can be once more free from the goldbugs of this and other nations. Everybody to the wheel now until November the 0 Lb, which telis the story. Use every means to awaken the peo pie from their sleep. The pen, the voice and arm. It may be like mine, feeble but God uses the weak things of this world for a good purpose and every power he has given is for His glory through time to get ready for eternity live not for self alone but for the glory of His name, and the good of the hu man race, ho gave us silver to use as a money cr exchange our soil supplies gold, silver, copper and wo need them for exchange and no man has the right to say this nation shall not bavo both if they wish it Major Guthrie seems ju3t now to be tho proper man for our next Governor . r Judge Clark, and a man of sound convictions, with backbone enough to act those convictions, will ever be ad mired and euch a mm is Walter Clark. His actions in that g unbling case in liileigh 83 veral years ago gave him a warm spot in the hearts of his honest countrymen and won the respect of his dishonest fellow beings. Such a man w u'd mke us an honest Governor, and his run would be good with honest people. I hopo the men of this gener a'ion will show to the old gray haired vetrans that aro passing so rapidly over the river to rest with Jcckson, one of their beloved leaders under the shade of the trees, that they are capable of managing this government with "equal rights to all and special privileges to none," and may stand 11 t footed on the money of our fathers and grand fathers, the silver dollar. Tiiey feel that they would like to look back from the borders of eternity on this country, the portion of GxTs globe they done such hard fighting for and many of them are lame and maimed for life by the war. They would like to know thao their children by working could make a living and lay aido enough to bury them decent ly when they die. I am the daughter oi a Confederate soldier, who after serving his country came homo with out a scratch, (ohauks to our Heavenly Father for his care) and o-:y tbat loves His country and now stands almost on tne brink of deaths cold waters, and I have heard him say often, "I never ex pect to hi bent fi ted by tins rcloi tn my Beif, out I would like oefcre I die to see things looking brighter ahead of my two cailarea." And bo it is with his comravis tht are hero aud would bo with his comrads gone from the ba: tlefield3 to the other shore. So let ns chat are left strain every n rvo to hasten tfto day when these dear ones that have done so much for U3 will see our sweet home land free from gold bondage and oppression. Work for it, pray tor it, ani Mr. Butler, our first reform Senator may yet have the pleasure of being Jothua and lead us into the promised land, Gd grant it, it is my prayer. Lave tho two old j parties alone and throwing all the bur dens of the campaign on tae Lord, work for the laboring people, for the glory of God, and He will see to it that we shall not suffer for it. "To him that overcometh (wrong and oppression) will God give a crown. When you strive for the right and benefit of all, you cheer the hearts of all good ladies, and your dear mothers are in the midst when we say, ladies. Work for the night is coming. The Progressive Farmer is ready for the fight for God and for the right of the people, with her noble editor for Capt. and that powerful man of God, D. H. Tuttle for her pilot, one for the body and the other for the soul. There is no need of our straying from our duty. This is a paper that one can read every day in the week. R3v. D H. Tuttla is, I believe the most Godly man I have ever seen in my journey of twenty -five years thJough this world. He was my pastor for two years and so far as I am a judge, he practiced out of the pulpit just what he preached in the pulpit and I believe God will stand by that kind of a man in pleasant and cloudy weather and he has been and ever will be a blessing. How great eternity alone will tell to The Progressive Farmer and to everything else he takes hold of. May God's sweetet blessings rest on this, our nation, on The Progressive Farmer and on Brother Tuttle, and may the angles hover around his dear ones and all the interests for which he is striving. Your3 for Jesus and reform, Mbs. T. W. Reddick. The great desideratum in education in North Carolina to day is a better pre paratory and high school system. Every year boys go to college ill pro pared, hence their college course ends in f ailure. It is to meet this want that Trinity High School was established. It take3 thoroughness as its motto. It offers to those students who do not ex pecfc to attend'collego a good literary training and good e qiipment for busi ness. There are five professors and teachers. The t z penses are very reason able, the location healthful, and the buildhgs large and convenient. The school has jast closed a very success ful year, and the prospects for the next are the best in the school's history. It is in every sense worthy of your pat ronage.
