Saturday night Rev. H. C.
Moore emphasized the impor
tance a working acquaintance
with the Bible, and Mr. Spillman
spoke of classification and thor
ough organisation.
. Sunday morninr, Mr. Spillman
illustrated the value of black
board work in the Sunday School
At eleven o’clock. Mr. Moore
preached eloquently and impres
sively on Consecration, bis text
being in the parable of tbe tal
ents. The centnd idea in bis
theme urns tbe one talent man.
the ordinary man. the man of
ordinary endow meats, who was
appeald to consecrate his one
talent aad make the most of it.
Following this brief but eio
cloqocnt aad forcibly presented
sermon, Mr. Spillman carried
the idea forward Into the Sun
day school work. He referred
to the inscription at the Bufalo
Exposition "The weakest among
ns baa a gift” He told about a
uaafnl minister in tbe State who
at one time coaid do nothing bat
|nst "read and cot wood,” This
man consecrated bis talents and
God gave bis talents increase.
He told tbe story of MissLw*y
Williams in Eastern North Car
olina long ago. She was Inst, a
young woman, gathered the
children around her on Sunday
and tangbt them. There was
opposition among anti-mission,
people, and they didn’t want her
to use the school house even.
But she bought an organ with
her own money aad gathered the
children aad sang and perse
vered. 3. W. Rose and tbe
•Scarboroa were pmoag her pupils.
"We can do the things we cam
do ■ said the speaker.
There was a Sunday school
mass meeting at 3 p. m. Sunday.
Mr. Moore mentioned some
characteristics of the Sunday
sqhpol teacher. • He should be
t. A devout Christian.
2* He should be devoted to
tllC CULM*
*1. A diligent Bible Undent—
he should pot searching the
Scriptures first, teaching after
ward.
Mr. Spillman next discussed
the Sunday School teacher and
next Sunday’s Lesson. First
there most be mastery of the
text itself, then I want to know
Us neaping. The meaning may
be learned better When we know
all the facts about the lesson, its
setting as to time and place, and
if* setting in the scriptural texts.
At night the Institute closed.
Mr. Moore presented Christ on
the Ooaa in a sermon of great
solemnity and impressiveness.
Ha' spoke with his characteristic
energy aad eloquence and made
a profound impression.
A study U the character of
the Apoatle Jobs was the an Meet
of Mr. Spillman’s address. This
apostle’s parentage, borne, tern*
perm meat, nml life w*n gathered
from the Scriptures and present
ed in a manner of which the
speaker is a master. It would
be dUBcult to report this simple
but powerful and helpful addryss
which was beard throughout
with rapt attention.
The visiting speakers left yes
terday monring, Mr. Moon for
Goldsboro, - Mr. Spillman for
Colombia. Their work here was
very helpful to the Sunday

BAIN BURNED NEAB BETHEL
On Mr. S.J. C Ilmen's Place
Bt«ro Commuted *a Chart*
ol Burning it
Last Wednesday night s barn
was burned at the farm of Nick
Jackson, a colored tenant on
Mr. Sam Clinton’s place near
Bethel, under circumstances
which strongly point to incen
diarism. A barn at the same
place was burned a year ago. A
son-in-law of Jackson, by tbe
■*“* of Tom Watson, or Tom
Wells, was accused of tbe crime,
but was acquitted. He had had
some trouble with Jackson and
fell under suspicion on that ac
count as well as his whereabouts
at the time.
Last Wednesday night some
one on the way to the fire aaw
Tom sitting on a log by the road.
Tom ran on ahead and went to
the burning bam. Next morn
ing, tracks answering to the
shoes Tom wore to tbe fire were
found leading from tbe neigh
borhood of the barn through a
field toward the point where he
was seen by tbe roadside. They
were tracks made by sn old shoe
with one toe out. Near the log
also was found another pair ol
■hoes, which it is supposed the
negro was intending to put on.
but was interrupted too soon to
succeed.
It is said that the other ne
fcroes caught the suspected in
cendiary at once upon his ap
pearance at tbe fire and were
about ready to string him up. But
Mr. Clinton gave better counsel
and tbe negro was committed to
York jail.
