unusually large crowd many

was present to hear the distin

the G 12 verses of I Timothy.
Subiect: "Faith and Eternal
Life." He said:
The flht of faith is the fight
of the soul against sin and sel

with carnal weapons not one
that depends upon muscle but a
warfare for which we are com

sermon is described in Paul's
II epistle to the Corinthians as
consisting of the breast-plate of
righteousess, the helmet of sal
vation, the sword of the spirit
which is the word of God. We
are not to put this armor on as
an outward covering. For out
ward righteousness is either
only morality or worse still, hy
pocrisy, and by these only man

"Tar Heels," were second to

Mr. Fennel next made a touch-
-
ing appeal for aid for the maiui-
ed and wounded Confederate
soldier!. He did not think the
"Soldier's Home" the best means
of aiding them, but if nothing
better could be done he favored
that. He suggested a tax, to be
paid by each county, for the
benefit of its wounded and in
digent veterans. He did not
think it best to send the men
who had given the flower of
their lives in defense of their
country, in their old age, to
some distant soldier's home to
die. Help them at home, was
his wife suggestion.
After-Mr. Fennell's address,
Messrs. E. W. Kerr, F. R. Coop

Clinton bar, were called for and
each responded in an eloquent
and pointed address of about 10

"The first law of nature

Every teacher has his own par

apparatus, such as cubic blocks,
charts of various kinds, wall
maps, dissected maps, globes,
numeral frames, arithmetical
tablets, a good supply of black
boards, desks for teachers and
pupils, and a few books of refer
ence, will add much to the relief
of the teachers, both in govern
ing and instructing. There must
be uniformity in the course of
study, and the series of books.
