He is a man of positive conviction, uncomoromisinir when principle is at stake. He has never sought popularity or success I adopting meretricious methods for securing his ends. His char acter b one of singular balance in its manliness of tone and sense of personal independence, calculated to win the respect of all with whom he comes in contact. He is a brilliant man but there is nothing pyrotechnic about him. He presents his facts without un due ornamentation, and every word carries a weighty meaning. His intellect is vigorous, his grasp is strong and no man in North Carolina knows better how to shape his idea. His speeches are able in their constructive pow- er, his style is clear and his reas- his style is clear and soning cogent Every production of his pen, every speech from his hps, is full of melodious cadence and gentle utterance, admirable in conception, strong and chaste in thought and in execution exqui- site.

In party service he stands above either. -of his oppo nents and second to no man in the State. He is consistently and dog- gedly hostile to Republican moth- ods. He is a Democrat in both the primary and the partisan sense of the word. He has been a close student of political history, and with him the Jeffersonian ideas of the true functions of gov ernment in general, and of the true theory of our own govern ment in particular, are the con victions of an earnest and studious mind, and not the inherited pre- judice of a mere partisan.

Dnrintr Uu- Hv .Tashs nn'npnrAd th wn- men and to Peter, and in the af- ternoon while two of the disciples were on their wav to the town of Emmaus, Jesus joins them. He is not recognized until they sit down to the evening meal together. Then He disappears and the aston ished disciples hasten back to Je rusalem, and tell their story to the others. At this point the lesson of today begins. LESSON STORY. Ten of the disciples are together I on Sunday evening. I he doors are closed for fear of the Jews. Jesus appears and salutes them. He convinces them of his identity and they are glad. He then speaks peace to them, communi cates his Spirit to them, instructs them concerning their mission to the world, and lays upon them heavy responsibilities. They are to be his representatives. The ten disciples tell Thomas about their vision of Jesus. Thom as declines to accept their testi mony, and declares that nothing less than the testimony of his own i , suffice to overcome Uoo.. and greets them with the rammar saiuiauou. x nomas is present. Jesus addresses himself directly to Thomas, calling upon him to test the vision in order that he may overcome his unbelief. This draws from Thomas a notable confession of faith. Jesus then pronounces his blessing on those who shall believe without such sen suous evidence. LESSON ILLUMINED The disciples are struggling be tween hope and despair, between light and darkness, and now light comes to them. Dr. Cuyler says: T once ascended Mt. Washing ton with a party of friends on horseback, and we were overtaken by a violent storm, followed by a thick, blinding mist. After our rough scramble over slippery rocks it was a woeful disappoint ment to find on our arrival at the Tip-top House," that we could not see any object two rods from the door. But late in the after noon the clouds began to roll way, and one mountain after another re vealed itself to our view.

Saco with a gorgeous rainbow; wo came out and gazed out upon the' magnificent panorama with won dering delight, and as the rays of the setting .sun kindled every mountain peak with gold, we all exclaimed, "at evening time it shall be lightl" Reach and See. H. N. Stanley went to search Africa for Living stone and afterward said: T went to Africa as prejudiced against religion as the worst infi del in London. To a reporter like myself, who had only to deal with wars, mass-meetings and political gatherings, sentimental matters were quite out of my province. But there came to me a long time reflection. I was out there away from the worldly world. I saw this solitary old man there, and I asked myself: 'Why does he stop here in such a place? What is it that inspires him?' For months after we met I found myself listen mg to him, wondering at the old man carrying out tne words. 'Leave all, and follow me.' But seeing his piety, his gentleness, his zeal, his earnestness, and how lie went quietly about his business, I was converted by him, although he had not tried in any way to do it." WHAT OTHERS SAY. This interview, the crown of the appearance on roaster lay, is an interview with the assembled body of disciples, whom the Lord in vests with a sacred mission, As my Father hath sent me, even so send I you;" equips them with the needed power, ' Receive ye the fioly Ghost;" and unfolds to them the solemn issues of their work. Here we have the great thought hat every Christian man and wo- - a mt man is sent by jesus. mere is no question here of the preroga tive of a class, nor of the functions of an order; it is a question of the universal aspect of the Christian lfe in its relation to the Master who sends, and the world into which it is sent.

Maclaren. The worst thing a man can do when disbelief or doubt shrouds his sky and blots out the stars, is to go away alone and shut himself up with his own morbid thoughts. The best thing he can do is to go amongst his fellows. If a fire is going out, draw the dying coals to gether, and they will make each other break into a flame. One great reason for some of the less favorable features that modern Christianity presents, is that men are beginning to think less than they ought to do, of the obligation and blessing of gathering together for the worship of God. Maclaren. At the very time when our Lord is pleased to convince his doubting follower of the reality of his sa cred body, of his perfect humanity, the apostle so pre-eminently recog nizes his Lord's divinity. With evidence the most distinct that he whom he was permitted to touch was man, the convinced disciple, in terms most explicit, .declares him to be God. EUicott. This was a rare and memorable hour for Thomas. He is carried entirely out of himself, and sees nothing but his Lord. The pas sion of joy with which he regains in a transfigured form his lost Leader absorbs him quite: "He had lost a possible king of the Jews; he finds his Lord and bis God." He can but utter his sur prise, his iby, and his worship in the cry, My Lord and my God." Dods. Pa-nuts- ri r 0 Quality a small cost a.
