There was a very pleasant meeting of
some of tno ministers of the city at the
rresoyterlan church this morning.
inoso present were Rev. G. F. Smith
Edenton Street M. E. church; Rev. W. D.
Hiitmard, of tho Baptist Tabernacle-

church; Rev. A. A. Marshall, of the First

inner j. r. uihbs; Rev. Dr. T. E. Skinner
and Rev. A. R. Love.
It was resolved tn
Conference, for their mutual improve
ment and pleasure.
The constitution will be reported at the
meeting next Monday morntng-
A meeting will bo held reeularlv nt tho
First rresbyterian church.
The Conference will undoubtedly result
in much good here.
Last, cveninir in the Bantist T;ih.r'
nude the pastor. Rev. W. I). Hubbard.
pi-pncht-d a sermon especially to the
Raleigh Light Infantry. The entire
company turned out. uniformed, and
occupied scats at the front.
ilr. Hubbard snoke earnestly nml
effectively, taking as his text.' "The
Kittle is the Lord's." fonml in Tf
hroniclc 2nd chapter und 15th
verse. At the outset he referred to
the young men und the sympathy and
interest he felt in them as the'v en-
cred upon their careers. "The wtlo
is the Lord's." Kvery battle, whether
on blood-stained field or in the soul
of a man, is (loci's battle. ' He over
rules all. The words of the text
spoken to a young kine- of Israel
when, he assumed the throne. He
made some mistakes and perhaps was
pumic out nis reign was prosper-
Mr-. .Hubbard spoke of ninny lmttlps
in the. civil war and snid -that, above
all those stirring conflicts (iod over
ruled. .The. brave .men of the South
were destined to fn.il because it was
not the will of Cod that they should
succeed. '"The battle was the Lord's.'
and such was not to be," said Mr.
Hubbard. "They sav that tliev were
not secession ist; f say that they
writ: aim i iovc tnem as much ns
you.
The preacher quoted from Victor
Hugo on the battle of Waterloo
which that historian savs ".Waterloo
then censed to- be a battle." Yes,
Waterloo was not a battle, it was a
charge the form of the world. The
battle was the Utrtl'st The fighting
spirit is jn the iireasi of every man
and it Ks put there by, the, creator.
jiiin worm must De taken, as it. is.
not ns one would have it. As Bill Arp
said about, the Corbett-Kitzsimmon's
tight, before you can keep men from
feeling interested in puch contests
you musi. cnange rnc stuff tnev are
made .of. The day may come when
".words' shall' become - nruni'nir hooks.
when the battle flag shall be furled
in the parliament of man. the fed
eration of the world," and the great
warships be converted into carriers
of God's book to heathen countries,
but such a' -day is in the dim future,
the present must be reckoned with ns
it. is, and preparation should be made
for the inevitable conflicts. This is
the day of wars a.nd we should be
ready. Only a short, time sinca Dew
ey's guns sounded in Manila Bay, und
now China seems to be the theatre of
war. .'
Mr. Hubbard said that this, fighting
spirit was part of man's inheritance.
Your grandfathers fought in the Re
volution, your fathers in the civil wa
and yon are by nature;, inclined to
play a similar part.
Many characteristics come by inher
itance; the spirit of Democracy - f-'
instance. Mr. Hubbard ais cited as
example of hereditary tendency the
revival of snnctiticatton in the Methn?
(list church and said it. was bu' a re
currence to the doctrire sowed by the
Wesleys. He said individualism was
one of the great inherited principles
from the early Baptists.
In closing Mr. Hubbard begged the
young men to remember that "the
battle is the Lord's." That a -lnee in
the heaven of their mother was only
to be secured by earnest strivings.
When Lincoln was asked, "Do you
think the. Lord is oa our s.idc'.'" he re
plied, "Are wre fin. the -I.oihVs side?
That is the questiou." The speaker
urged this question, horn to his hear
ers and plead with them' to be aligned
on God's side Ira the battles and con
flicts of life. i

Washington, June 30. Considerable
pressure is being brought to bear on
the leaders of both parties for a short
campaign. Business men generally
take this view- of the situation, and
nay that, three or four months of
speech-making und political agitation
play the mischief with the commer
cial interests. The political leaders,
on the other hand, like plenty of
time in which to go in the field. It
is to early, ol course, for a decision
from the Democrats, but the llepubli
cans, in view of the situation four
years ago, are not likely to agree,
it. being generally admitted by them
that in the early days of the cam
paign, of lsofi Bryan would have been
elected. 1 line was needed then to
t conduct the "campaign of education,"
aim the leaders do not propose to be
caught napping now. A subordinate
. real work will be done in the cam
paign until after that time. Up to
August. 1 the force at Chicago will
be largely engaged in perfecting
plans, getting out 'documents, and
making the usual preliminary ar
rangements. Chairman Hanna is not.
