However divided ,the Church has been on other points of doctrine, near ’ ly every one claiming the Christian name, through all the generations' of the past, his held that immortality is an inherent principle in man. If-the doctrine is false, nothing but a delu sive hope his been the consolation of mankind through all the ages. We are consoled when we look at the vacant seats at our firesides, when we consider the spirit is nbt dead, that we shall all meet again. The doctrine of annihilation as held by some, may be soothing to a life that has been deeply steejjed in sin, when taken in comparison to the' prob ability of endless misery, but* to hu manity is a whole, jt is more horrible than hell; for those believing inj end less punishment nearly always Console themselves with a ho|« for theirown—> that it is somebody else that is lost. When we look at death with our Adam eyes, the light of life and im mortality is shut but. We see man as Solomon saw him—we see him dying like a beast. Solomon was a good anil a wise man as long as he retained a knowledge of the'“good,” but when he lost that, he wrote like an Atheist. “All go unto one place,” said he, ••and all turn to dust again.” And again he said: “For the living know that they shall die; lait the dead -know not anything, neither have they any more reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.” lngersol could not have expressed it any plainer., Yes, after hearing Israd’s wise but fallen king, the Atheistical philosopher steps ip from his investigation of disintegra ted man in the world’s vast charnel house, and declares that not the least whisjier is heard to break the sad si lence that reigns in the regions of the dead! Old Adam whisjiers—-“dead, dead, all are dead—no spirit life re mum*, neat -uuwh uiiutigii an uic ages anil generations, from the. first man that (lied, to him who sleep in the fresh filled grave of to-day—till are,dead, dead,- dead!” Adam, the animal man, is the prophet of death, and Uriel's king, with his mind divert ed from the ‘•heaven of heavens” apd from life, drew his inspiration from him in' whom all die, and wrote the text: “for all is vanity.” How sad it must have been to the first man, when death was revealed to him! To him the first grave that ojitned its greedy mouth to swallow man, was, a., contradiction of Gods ex istence, The very angels, looking from the battlements of heaven, must have wept on beholding man on his the grave; in death. ••( lod is not the god of the dead, but ofthe living.” Atheistic scientists, with one eye shut gro[ie their way to the charnel house of death, to stir among the dis jointed bones, where nature disinter grates and hides, to find no trace of the beginning of life. No: God is not fduiid there. He is. found among the living. Tht‘first man was the proph et of death: The Chirst, the ideal man, the spiritual representation, was the prophet of life. He brought life and immortality to light. “The-first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man, the Lord from heaven. And as we have Ixjrne the image of the earthy, we shall also l>ear the image of the heavenlv.” pf the knowledge of There Is iio ttvm m • death, or ‘-evil Hut how irrational, how unphilisoph ical the idea, that the dust, thie com mingled particles that once formed the lxxlies pf earth’s millions who are dead, should be brought together: again, re-animated and be the self same Inxiies that ages gone sinned and died!

Branson’s Business Directory. From advance sheets we are permit-; ted to look into this forthcoming refer-; ence-lwok, which is now not only well ( known at home and abroad, but is t really the standard directory of North: Carolina, j . i This is one of the publications that; has a history. Nineteen years ago the j war had just closed, and North Caroli- ] na was' in a state of devastation. I Roads, fences, post-offices and posfal j rputes, public and private buildings! were all in a dilapidated condition. 1 Many of our citizens went North in: the spring and summer of 1865 to See j what ideas might be gathered and nn-1 tilized in rebuilding the waste places of the State. Mr. Branson came back! fyom the Northern cities convinced that our people needed to be brought, newer together and made acquainted with each other by newspapers, maps, guide-books, &c. He was then pub lished the Enterprise, and through that as ah aid he commenced to gather the; materials necessary for a Business Di rectory of the entire State. Early in i 1866 the first directory for North Car-j olina was published. Only a few scat- * tering post-offices had been re-opened so that the work had been slow; and j difficult. However, he went to work 1 to issue a large edition, which was! published in the latteti part of 1867. j The work'was factored by organizingj a regular corps of [agents and corres-, pondents—one or fnore in. each coun-j ty. These had to be instructed as to 1 what information to seodfta” the prin- j cipal office atRafleigh,-m»d. in many | cases a commendable Cfciihty pride was j fostered by slow degrees. j The work has been done by persis tent and continued/effort; by personal visitations and contact with the agents, j by circulars and also blanks to be filled cut and returned for every county, and idecd including every city* fivecy vil ige and/ every post-office -in ail the 6 counties. The nail - service has een extended and improved,. until liere are now nearly 1,957 post-offices *en m the State; so that ooe can see , of the magnitude of a thor-. j 1 :i‘»• j'.;. • -j' r • ? pmething ,.1. - ^ ough canvass1 for a new edition of our State Directory^ All this 53,000 miles had to be can vassed before issuing each new of the Director y, Mr. Branson, undg great disadvantages, has steadily ppr-^p sued this work taring one edition* i af ter another, until now the 6th edition is complete. This books of nearly 700 pages, is more than twice as large as ever before, and approaches perfection as nearly as could be expected for afiy work of the kind. j The lists of churches and schools, V ministers and formers given here, can not be found elsewhere^ The number and variety Ot factories put op record astonish all who, have not closely ob served the rapid material growth of North Carolina for the last three years. And very few of our people realize that we have 43 railroads, entirely or in part, operated in the State, and over 900 miles of inland steamboat naviga tion. j The mines—a large number—are also noted in the Directory, so that they can readily be found. Each county has-an accurate historic description in brief space, as also the amount of State and county taxes, the staple products hnd quantities, and the live stock and {values. In short, each county, to it self, is laid open to full view, and every jreader can easily see which section will best suit him for a residence. The cotion factories, some . 76 in {number, claim special attention. They are given in the .Directory as to the date of establishment, capital invested daily consumption of raw material, daily production of plaids, domestics, yarns, bags, &c. All this and much more is given in a convenient form for reference. The Directory is handsomely printed by Messrs. Uzzell & Gatling, of this city, and the style of the work is cred- J itabie to any printing house in the Union ; indeed, we have never seen a better pjrinted Directory from any State and the work is remarkably accurate when we .consider the hundreds of thousands of names that are here given. The publisher will supply copies of the Directory at the very reasonable price of $5.—Raleige Register, March 5,1884. ; j Thermometer Report. Corrected by H. G.
