EXHIBIT OF VA.TOBACCO Richmond Trade to Hold a Meeting To-Day. MAY CALL ON OTHERS Meeting May Result In Movement to Get Danville, Lynchburg, Petersburg and Other Cities to Unite With Richmond. At a meeting of the Richmond Tobaoco Trade, which will be held to-day, in the Kxohange building, some definite stops .'.Will bo taken In tho direction of arrang? ing for a groat exhibit of Virginia to? bacco at the St. Louis Exposition. The meeting will be held at noon and, It Is hoped, will be largely attended. 'Lo? cal tobacconists are not a little Intorostecl in tho opportunity the Fair affords for an advertisement of Virginia weed, and It is bellvcod that tho session will reeult .. In some decided movement, The Hon. George E. Murrell, first as ?Istant to the Virginia Commission to tho Exposition,? will appear before tho Trade and make an address In the In intorests of an exhibit. The directors of I tho groat Fair huvo made ample pro-, vision for tho tobacco interests, and a section of space large enough to nccom ' modate all has been allotted to this In? dustry. Mr. Murrell, among other thing?, will give some Idea of the scopo of the ? Exposition,'tho advantages of an exhibit and the arrangements made for the to? bacco men. CALL ON OTHER TRADES, While it Is Impossible definitely to foreT cast the action of the Trade,?'It Is likely that there will be Initiated a movement to call on tho other trades throughout ? tho State to Joln-ihands with the Rich-, ?lond body In producing at the Exposl-; tlon an exhibit creditable to the Old Do? minion. Some of the members of the Trade do not appear to be particularly attracted I to this scheme, but.lt, Is believed that the majority will favpr It. Acting Indl rldually., the trades could, It la true, ar , range for exhibits, hut with nothing like tho effect that would follow a union of lutereste. Richmond, Lynchburg, Danville, Petersburg, South Boston and the other places could Join hands and display at the Exposition a great outlay of Vir? ginia tobacco that, would go no little way toward advertising^ tho Industrial world this chief product of Virginia soil. PRESIDENT FAVORS IT. " ,: Mr. T. M. Carrlngton, president of the ? Trade, seems to bo distinctly in iavor of ?neh a plan.

' , GOLDEN TEXT?"Remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive."?Acte xx:35. .???..' By Rev. J. B.Gllbort, D. D., Secretary of American Society o? Religious Education. CONTEXT?After two lessons, one in ari epistle and,the other for review, we re ,turn to th?; historio narrative.- The ex? citement at Ephesus having., subsided (Acts, xix:21-S4), Paul went forth accord? ing to his purpose to Macedonia and to Greece, (Verses 1 and 2.)' His 'stay In .those regions, however, was brief. Un? der the prompting of the spirit, his heart was set on going to Rome. Sailing with several companions, he proceeded via Troaa, Assas, Mitylene, Samot! and Trogylllum to Miletus. In each of these cities he preached and rendered valuable ?ervlco ?to the' church. Being In some haste, he did not go up to Ephesus, but sent for the elders of that city, who came down to Miletus to aee him. The interview that followed was extremely Interesting. These men, charged with all tho affairs of tho congregation, were greatly attached to' Paul ae their spirit? ual father, delighted to see him, after his separation, and he delivered to them an address, part of which we shall study to-d?y. / UNMOVED?(Verso 240 Why was Paul unmoved by the prospect of personal nils fortune? Why did he go forward when he-knew that imprisonment awaited him? Why should he even Jeopardise his Hie? (Rom., vili :S5.) He gives the secret in his letter to the Romans. (Verse 24.) A course of action, a mission, was before him, which he was determined to accom? plish, and to come to its end With joy. (2 Tim., lv:T.) That mission was the min? istry which he had rocolved from the Lord. Jesus (Titus, 1:3), which he had accepted as his life work, from which he dare not turn. (1 Cor., Ix:16.) His only business among men was to "testify the gospel of the grace of God." It filled his heart and hands (Rom., l:!S), and dominated all his powers, so that, turning away from every other pursuit and calling,, he de? voted himself untiringly and absolutely to this. He was tho servant of Christ. (Phil.G 1:1), to go and be and do, and even to suffer and to die, when, where and how the Master might direct. APPROVED?(Verses 25 to 27.) Tho apostle not only affirmed his loyalty to Christ, but he challenged the approval of his brethren,,desiring them, to confess his faithfulness as a minister. He had de? clared all tho counsel of God. (Verse 27.) Withholding nothing through fear or fa? vor, he had Instructed them in the essen? tial truths of Christianity. (Verse 20.) Accordingly, he must be free from blame If any In the church at ' Ephesus came short of a consistent life or failed of the favor of God. (Verse 2S.) There Is un? doubted reference hero to the responsibili? ty of the prophet or public teacher, un 'der the old dispensation. (Ezok., 1II:18-1S.) He had good reason for desiring this ap? proval of tho elders?ho was going from them not to return; it was the ,ond of their earthly relations, the .close of his work among thorn. (Vers?.26.) He right-; ly esteemed tholr favor as an Incentive,' and he sought by means of that favor to preparo them for the advlco which ho was about to deliver. He would leave his last words enforced by his faithfulness. CHARGED-(Verse 28.) It was thus an easy matter for Paul to turn from his, own conduct to that of the elders. (Verso 28.) "Therefore," ho says, because of his example he charged them to do ?heir duty. That duty had reference primarily to themselves. (1 Tim., iv:10.) A senyant of.the church must be godly. Tho elders must make tho apostle In a sense a pat-, tern. (3 Thos.,'111:3.) By the .memory-ft hi? excellent ministry they, were to bo Induced to caro for the -church, to foed It as a (lock, like unto shepherds. Two other considerations are hero, given ?to? nicit? their fidelity. That church had been purchased with the blood of Christ (Heb. ix :11), and wns therefore exceedingly dear to Him. (Eph? v:25.) Moreover by the Holy Ghost they had boen mado overseers or superintendents (or bishops, as the word might bo rendered) of that church, Here, then, were three powerful motives?tho words and influence of tho apostle, ,tho value and glory of-t-ho church and the nature of tho appointment?all uniting to move, the.Kpheslnn elders to the 'discharge of duty. WARNED.?(Verses 29 to 81.) To render nil this the more timely and emphatic Paul discloses somothlng of-the future of the ohuich, a dreary outlook, calcu? lated to awoken his fears. (Vorses 29 and 30.) He doos not toll how he obtained tiie information?whether by revelation or In? formation from conditions then existing? but ho declares that he know the ohuroh would be in trouble after his doparturo. Sonia would enter from without, whom. ho likens to Wolves, false prophets, (Matt.,'* ?1|;1d), described moro fully elsowhere, (2 Pot., 11:1,) still worse, some of the Ephesians (I Tim,, 1:20) would rise up to bepomo false teachers', perhaps Influenced by those who came from.abroad, or por haps led astray by their own Ignorance and conceit, and drawing disciples aftor them, so that the body would ho divided, Hence, these elders must watch constant? ly (verse 81), remembering that they had been forewarned on this subject, This Is In lull acoord, both In spirit and In sub? stance, with what Jesus had said to His disciples as Ho was about to be taken from them. (Matt., xxlv?42.) COMMENDED,-(Verso 82.) Having warned them against trouble, tho apostle shows how to oscapo it. He offered no? thing new or startling, but that whjoh has ever been, and must foreu-or ho, the. secret of prosperity in the church?the guidance and help of God (verse 32), He specially commended them to tho word of Divine grace, the sacred Scriptures Undoubtedly, tho writings of tho prophets, and those of tho-apostles then or to be produced, , He deqWed that this word wae able to build! them up, In, harmony, huUdH with his utterances elsewhere (3 Tim., 111:16-17), .and that the outcome of such ?dification would be to give them an in-, heritance among tho sanctified! (Eph., 1:18,)* Ho js here, not referring to th? fu? ture reward which we designate Heaven, but to that spiritual enlightenment and strength, that exalted Christian charac? ter (Col.. 1:12), which Is attainable through the combined influence of grace and truth. (2 Peter, 111:12.) Through these they may go on from excellence to ex? cellence, and become strong and stead? fast. UNSELCTSH.-CVerses 23 to 85.) Once more, as a concluding thought, the apostle alludes to himself as a pattern for the cldors, CVerses 83 to 85.) He knew the be setmont of all men, to which even minis? ters ' and church officiale are exposed, i. desire for gain and honor. He would? have these men unselfish lh their work.-rfret?" from the mercenary spirit. In his minis? try ho had coveted no man's goods. While It would have been proper for-hlm to re? ?oive wages (Matt, x:10). according to the Lord's own teaching, which Paul in another place approves (1 Tim., fv:18), yet he had chosen to provide for himself with his own hands, (Acts, xvlll:2.) By this example-he had shown them that "fly labor they ought to support-the needy (Eph., iv.iS), tHSfeby becoming the very sen-ants of the poor. All this he nrsed because it was In Ttarmony with the prac? tice and precept of Jesus, the Master.1 BEH/OVED?<Vereee 86 to JS.) The closing soche in this Interview was most tender. There came first of all a season of prayer, the whole company kneeling together, as at Tyre afterwards (Aots xxl: R), an attitude generally assumed by those who are under deep emotion. ((Acts vil: 00.) So Intense was the feeling that the company broke Into tears and then fell on Paul's nock and kissed him, aftor the fashion of orientalists. (Gen. xlvi 14.) Here was a genuino expression of love, such as springs up In the hearts of true Christians, the love of disciples for a master, who had given to them those wholesome lessons which had brought them? Into the sweet fellowship'of..the saints. But'the love was tempered .'by sorrow.. Tt was not the glad outflow that comes from circumstances of pleasure and profit. It was rather the oppressed emotion, resulting from'a sense of loss, for all knew that their dear teacher would be seen by them no more. This was their last Interview. His kindly? face would no more gladen their hearts, nelthor would his presence awaken their hope. Sadly yet lovingly they escorted him to the ship, CONCLtfSION-Primarily this lesson Is for church officials. Their position Is peculiarly sacred, and their duty most delicate. They may advanoe or retard the kingdom of <3od by their doing and their spirit. But there Is also Instruc? tion here for every follower of Christ who may be called to service In any placo, however humble. The apostle Paul, In his conduct, motive and'words, presents the Ideal toward which all ought to aspire In every endeavor. To be under the complote control of the spirit as bound to a course of action; to be un? moved by any prospect of personal loss: to be sustained by the high and holy calling; to so labor ?? to win the approv? al of associates; to care for the Interests of Cbrlsts's cause In time of peril; to place firm reliance upon the grace and word of God; to do all without consid? eration of pecuniary reward-these are tho exalted characteristics of a faithful servant of Jesu?, Christ, whether or? dained or unordairied. .?

One of the most interesting bills to this j |Section of the State which has been of? fered at tho present session of the Gen? eral Assembly was presented In the | ?House yestorday by Captain W, D. Card well, of Hanover, designed to repeal the charter of the. Mecihanlcsville Turnpike Company and to make tho road a publie highway. The charter was granted by ; the legislature In 1817, and this of itself ?makes the bill of Interest. But there are other reasons why It is Interesting. Those who are behind the meaeure claim that tho farmers coming |<Into Rlctfunond over this road from ?Han? over and Henrioo counties are required to pay tolls, when they do not get the] benefit of proper Accommodations. The turnpike Is said to bo owned either in j whole or.in part by the Virginia Passen? ger and Power Company. HOW IT READS. , The bill, as offered by Captain Cirdwell, | reads as follows: i~ A .bill to repeal an act approved Feb? ruary 21, 181t, entitled an act incorporating a company to establish a. turnpike road In tho city of Richmond, crossing Chlcka? homlny River between the Meadow and | New Bridges, until It Intersects the Swamp Road on the north side of said river. Whereas, tinder the aot aforesaid of February twenty-first, eighteen hundred and .'seventeen, the Mechanlcsvllle. Turn? pike Company was organized and con? structed a turnpike road from tho city I of Richmond,, crossing the Chlckahomlny River and extending Into the county of Hanover, as provided in said act; and 1 ' whereas, the said Turnpiko Company has I not compiled with, the requirements of the said act incorporating the same, and of the) general laws then and now In force, but, on the contrary, In construct-1 ihg the said turnpike the said company has failed to comply with the require- [ menta of said act, and the said general laws; and has permitted tho said, turn-1 pike -to remain In such condition that the? samele * not safo or suitable for the ?ordinary travel'.'.thereon; and whereas,1 by reason of the. aforesaid noglect and fail- \ ure; of the. said<.company to comply with ths law, the right to hold the said charter | has been forfeited; now, therefore, REPEAL?
