MISSION SERVICE LAST NIGHT.
An Eloquent and Able Address by Rev.
John E. White.
The congregation of the Baptist Tab
ernacle church last night ’began a week's
study of the subject, of Missions.
Owing to the revival now in progress
at the First Baptist church, the at
tendance last night was not «o large as
usual, lmt the exercises were of a most
interesting and instructive character.
A most eloquent and able address on
‘•Blessings That. Come to Us from (Jiv
ing to Foreign Missions,” was delivered
by Rev. John E. White, Corresponding
Secretary of the Home Mission Board
of the Southern Baptist convention.
*‘l am sometime impressed,” he began,
“when I consider the tstupeudous work
before us —the vastness of heathendom,
whether it is not a goad thing not to be
a Christian— to have no responsibility on
one for all these dying nations. When
a mail becomes a Christian lie takes upon
himself, not only hi* own salvation, hut
that of all mankind. This thing of lining
a Christian is something serious; and' yet
it’s not a sad thing. True religion has
vitality in it, lias power in it, has a
bounding joy and throbbing might in i:
This is what makes religion such a seri
ous thing.
"The matter of missionary and anti
missionary is not a question that you
can vote for or against at will. It ;« a
question that you settle before you lie
come a Christian. If you follow Christ
you cannot 'lie against missions. If you
stand for Christ you must stand for
what lie stood for.”
Mr. White now enumerated some of
the blessings that come from missions:
“1. Blessing of real disciploship or
being in accord with'the divine pattern.
He who is not right with God must
suffer. Learn of Christ, how to see as
Christ saw, to sympathise as he sympa
thized to forgive as he forgave, to „■>
about doing good as lie went about doing
good—this is real discipleship.
“God himself is missionary. All sacred
history is full of instances of his giving
out his strength and showing his power
to bring man to him and make him love
his maker. ‘God so loved the world that
he gave his only begotten sou that who
soever believed on him should be saved?
God’s love is exactly measured by fhc
salvation that he has provided, ‘God so
loved the world.’ *How shall we escape
if we neglect so great salvation.’
“Christ was always giving hhnaelf.
He was no dead reservoir, sucking in life
from those around; but a fountain send
ing out life and blessings to the world.
No one touched him but that his life
went out with vitalizing force.
"Why on the cross he gave Joseph
his body, he gave his mother to John,
he gave the soldiers his clothes, and to
liis disciples he gave his peace.
"2. Blessing of obedience. If God bad
one thought above, every other thought
it was that of giving the gospel to the
world. It is the one most vital thing in
Christianity. Better be wrong oil all
else than on this: ’Go ye and preach the
gosja’l to every ereture.’ Disobedience
of this, God's bust commandment, is
without excuse. Restore unto me the
joy of my salvation? Get afire with pa
triotism for God, as the (ample of this
country now are over the blowing, up
of the Maine. Don’t sit quietly by and
see God’* Kingdom invaded. In this
lies true happiuess—enthusiasm and
obedient well-doing.
“It is not a question of whether the
heathen are going to be saved without
the gospel. It is: ‘Can J be saved and
not give the heathen tiie gospel?’ The
anti-mission spirit i<s an anti-ehristiau
spirit. The life of Christ was ‘mission
ary in all that it stood for and all he
died for.
“3, Human fellowship or sympathy
with lost mankind. The human race is
oue great brotherhood, all bound up in
one destiny and Christ the nucleus, the
centre, around whom we are gathered.
You must have love and synqmth.v for
your feilovvman. With God it’s not a
question of dollars and cents. You can
love as thoroughly and sympathize as
mueh as John I). Rockfoller or George
Vanderbilt. Where love is not there is
no growth, but a chilly, heartless atmos
phere.”
Mr. While spoke oi- the decadence of
the Primitive Baptist church, and the
wonderful growth of the Missionary
Baptist church, and attributed is the
anti-mission spirit in the one, and the
mission spirit in the other.
“4. The blessing of parnership with
Christ in a glorious cause. I love to
think of Christ as a victory-getter, a eon
qit Tor- a conqueror ol evil, of ' ice. ol
the powers of this world. You and I.
Christian, are not engaged in a losing
cause.” ,
Mr. White closed with a few practical
suggestions in regard to giving to mis
sinus and said God require* first and
above all that we give ourselves and
tb n of our worldly goods as God lias
blessed and prospered us.

THE BOWEIIY BELLES BACK.
V Regular Old-Time Police Court Yes
terday Morning.
For a long time there lias 'lmhmi a great
dearth of business in the mayor’s court,
ind His Honor was at a loss to account
for it: but yesterday he saw why it
was. In a bad humor and out of pa
tience one morning he sent all of his
regular customers to the roads. Then
aeace reigned and law-breaking ceased.
Friday the three worst of these police
court makers —Bertha Williams, Lydia
Chamblee and Annie Harrison—shook
the dirt of the work-house off the bot
tom of their pedal extereinities and
iiird themselves back to the city, where
they at once proceeded to get into trou
ble again.
At. least Bertha and Lydia did and
Annie was a witness. It seems that
they quarreled about Dan Hinton, a
very black lw>y with only one front tooth.
••Yon stand veyy well in Sawyer’s bot
tom society don’t you, Daniel'/’’
"No more than any one else."
"Well times are hard 1 , Bertha, and I'll
try to make my figures conform to the
stringency in tin’ money market. Two
lollurs and costs, Bertha.”
Lydia also figured prominently in the
next ease. She charged John Nowell
with assault on Wilmington stm*t Sat
urday night. .She said John struck her
because she was talking to other men.
Annie Harrison was Lydia s leading
witness, and charged that .John also
cursed her.
"Well John. >l'll have to touch you for
$7.25 in this case.”
Dan Hinton, a vrap-tlinger, was sent
on to court for gambling, lie lias been
eluding the -police for several weeks,
but they found him Saturday night and
now he's in jail.
THE RALEIGH CYCLE CLUB.
The Raleigh Cycle and Pleasure Club,
which gave so nmdh pleasure to ninny
Raleigh (ample and visitors here last
summer, is to lie reorganized and in
doubt the picnics and moonlight rides
will begin again at an early date.
The following call signed by the sec
retary. Mr. Fred Mahler, has been senr
to memliers of the club:
"The Raleigh Cycle and Pleasure
Club will meet Wednesday, April 20th,
at ."» p. 4ii.. at the office of Mr. Charles
Root for the election of officers for the
earning season.”
DEATH OF MISS JONES.
Yesterday afternoon at 2:.’io o'clock
Miss Sallie Jones, daughter of Col. T.
1/. Jones, of Henderson, died at the res
idence of Mrs. J. J. Harris, comer of
Lane street and Boylan avenue. Miss
Jones had been an intense sufferer from
ear trouble, and camie to Raleigh six
weeks ago and submitted to a surgical
operation. She was a young lady of
lovable character and her death is a
severe blow to her friends and faultily.
SQUARE MILE OF LAND FOR $1)0.
The Secretary of State yesterday is
sued grants for two tracts of land ill
Jackson county, containing one square
mile each, or (‘>4o acres. Each piece cost
the grantee 15 cents an acre, or SOO for
the 010 acres.
During the visit of
s Li Hung Chang, the
A "Grand Old Man of
China,” to this coun
ts try, the New York Sun
said of him: “He is
RL a large, strong, im
pressive specimen
I'yillNof manhood. He
Will \ has a 1,1 a8 s * v e
AVI \ frame, a shapely
fthead. a comtnand
’,lK ace alK *
posed features,
ilfL PI He is a keen ob
servant of tnan-
ZT IT kind, of life and
* of things He is
jjjj
seventy-four years of age and still in the
hey-dav of his power.”
If a Chinaman, usually regarded by us as
a barbarian, can live to a healthy, hale old
age, why cannot Americans, with tlieir
more advanced civilization, do the same?
The reporters discovered during I.i Hung
Chang’s stay in this country, that be took
every thought for his health. He lived
upon the simplest of diets and never passed
a day without consulting his physician.
He limited liis toil to a reasonable number
of hours, and would not deviate from his
rule in this matter. American men follow
just the opposite practice. They work to
the limit of endurance, will not even take
the proper time for eating, resting and
sleeping, and never think of their health
until it is gone. There is a wonderful me d
icine for hard-working men. It is Ur.
Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery. It
takes the place of a physician. It keeps
away ill-health and restores health when it
is lost. It is the great appetite sharpener,
blood maker and flesh builder. It makes
the digestion perfect, the liver active and
the blood pure and rich. Medicine dealers
sell it.
“ My husband lmd hren a robust young man."
writes Mrs. M. J. Tedder, of Ellington, Reynolds
Co., Mo. "When he was 3! years old lie began
to cough very hard. He had pains through his
che«t and limes His mother and Ihe rest of his
family had died with consumption He con
tinued to cough every winter, until m 188 xhe
had an attack of pneumonia. His cough gn w
worse and worse. He would vomit immediately
after his meats. In r..S he couched night mid
day He was getlmg very weak and had no
appetite. He commenced Dr. Pierce's (.olden
Medical Discovery and 'Pleasant Pellets' ID

had taken seven bottles he looked like a new

twenty-eight pound, and 1, cured "

Avoid An Early Grave.
How often do we hear, that the ave

neglecting a slight cough and cold.
Profit by this truth, and provide your
self with J)r. Bull’s Cough Syrup, which
instantly cures all throat and lung affec
tions. Mr. W. 11. Malioncj’, Lowell,
Mass., writes: “I was taken sick with
a bad cold. The doctors did not seem
to help me, and everybody said I was
getting consumption, when a relative
recommended Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup.
I got a bottle and it helped me, and
after taking two bottles I was cured,
to the surprise of everybody. I shall
always recommend it to my friends,
t as I know it to be a sure cure.” Da
Bull’s Cough Syrup is sold everywhere
for 25 cents. Don’t accept a substitute.
Children like it. it saves their lives.
