In these verses are set forth the vigilance of David, the Sheppard's boy, and how he endangered his life for the life of his father's flock. His earnest care for the flock is apparent, when we see how he went after the lion and the bear to rescue the lambs that had been captured by them, the least dangerous beast that remained the lion, and brought them misplaced and bleeding back to the fold. The post of danger was to David the post of duty, and how overgreat the danger was he walk found at his post, unfaltering and faithful. The night was never the dark, and the storms were never too severe for him to be found at his post. The shepard, or pastor, can never court ease nor pleasure when the life or safety of his flock is in danger or peril. If he does, he proves himself unworthy of the trust that has been given him. A lesson for the pastors for all times are found in the conduct of the Apostle Paul as recorded in the 21st Ch. of the Acts of the Apostle. His duty called him to Jerusalem. And the prophet Agathus with others attempted to persuade him not to persuade him not to go, declaring that difficulties and dangerous persecutions awaited him there; but Paul was not the shepard to the affrighted. But said, I am ready not to be bound only, but to die at Jerusalem for the name of the Lord Jesus. There was something that he valued higher than ease or earthly pleasures. It was his work of preaching, teaching and spreading the kingdom of God and his Christ. The pastor's work 1st. The pastor or minister is to preach the gospel to the people. This I conceive to be the most important work of the pastor. And to do this successfully and affectively he must possess these requisites. 1st, he must be called or God to preach. 2nd, he must apply himself to diligent study. The people come to hear religious information. They are the sheep that have been committed to his care, and he is to feed them on the word of God. Like the prophets of old he is to receive the message from God and give it to them. Hence, if he is to be a successful pastor, and skillful in the work he is engaged, he must study to show himself approved unto God a workman that needeth not be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. Paul's advice to Timothy is a good one for the pastor of the present day. Preach the word, be instant in season and out of season: reprove, rebuke, exort with all long suffering and doctrine. It takes a brave man to do this rebuking and reproving. Personal interest, and personal popularity are sometimes to Weekly Conservator. be sacrificed in doing this. And it often becomes a question of bread and butter with the minister. The people, many of them, want teachers that will tickle their intellect, but leave their sins untouched. And this ungodly state to be found in the membership in many churches puts the pastor in a straight betwixt two. His personal needs and his religious duty, shall I preach to them the word of God, and endanger my personal interest or shall I give them the message, line upon line, and precept upon precept. many that are filling pulpits thro'out the length and breadth of this country, preaching and teaching higher criticism. These are the ones that are doing more to unsettle and shake the minds and faith of the people today than all the infidels in the universe. The things that the fathers taught and the people of their day accept ed as being true, are being denied by the great scholars of to day. And the reading world is asking this serious question, who is right? And those scholarly critics are imposing and extra bur- Well, the man called of God is not long in deciding where the path of duty lies in such cases. Personal interest and personal popularity, will perish and pass away, and especially that kind that is gained by bowing to the wicked whims of the unsaved in our membership. God's ministers need not fear starving as long as they do His bidding. He has promised to take care of his servants, and his promises are true. He fed His servant Elijah by sending food to him by a raven And Jesus said to His disciples, take no thought what ye shall eat nor where withal shall ye be clothed, but seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you. Thus the pastor THE MAGNET Barber :- Shop! FIRST-CLASS WORK GUARANTEED. Baths in Connection AL G WHEELER, Prop'r. 103 NORTH LAMINE ST.... out of fear of suffering for the needs of life neglect his duty, God will provide for him. The importance of preaching the gospel is inferred from what Paul said in his first Epistle to Cor. Said he, for after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believed. And again, in his letter to the Romans, he said, for I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation, to every one that believeth. God has not only given the people the messenger, but the message he is to bring to them. A-gain, the pastor's work is that of a watchman. He is to watch the kind of literature, that is being scattered broadcast throughout the length and breadth of this land. Some of it is wholesome to be sure, but much of it is poisonous to the minds of those that read it. He is to try to turn his flock away from that that is debasling, to that is elevating and ennobling. He is to circulate his church literature that the people may be intelligent worshipers of the Lord Jesus Christ. The work of the pastor is to guard his flock against a certain class of teachers that seem to be attempting to undermine the foundation upon which the faith of the Christian Church hath rested through all the centuries past. I do not think that we need to fear what infidels outside of the church can do toward destroying the faith of the saints. But I think there is danger of men in the church who claim to be authority in finding the true meaning of the text of the scriptures, and who are moulding the minds of the young in many of the Christian schools in this land, and many that are filling pulpits thro'out the length and breadth of this country, preaching and teaching higher criticism. These are the ones that are doing more to unsettle and shake the minds and faith of the people today than all the infidels in the universe. The things that the fathers taught and the people of their day accepted as being true, are being denied by the great scholars of to day. And tue reading world is asking this serious question, who is right? And those scholarly critics are imposing and extra burden upon the true pastor. The things that were taught by Spurgeon, Simpson, Beecher, and Talmage and hundreds of others that were noted for their scholarship, and under whose preaching thousands were led to God and a divine life, Under our modern critics their doctrine and teaching are being repudiated. One Dr. Crapsey of the Episcopal Church in Rochester New York has denied the virgin birth of Christ; also his physical resurrection and ascension. Before he was excommunicated from his church he was about to try to prove that Jesus Christ was not the Son of God. Now take these pillows from under the Christian temple, and what have we left. And I am sure that this learned gentleman is not alone in his teachings. The pastor in his work must meet these destroyers of the faith of the believers, and in some way show them that the foundation of the church of God standeth sure. I may say that you white brethren have a harder task on your hands on this line than we colored ministers have; because of the better opportunities your people have had, and are buying for study and learning. If it be true as some have said that a little learning is dangerous, it is equally true that unsanctified learning is more dangerous. My people may deny the authenticity of the Bible and call in question its authorship, but cannot produce any logical reason for the position taken. Your scholars are many, and it is your scholarly men who have studied all the sciences, explored every avenue of knowledge that are saying today that the old book is not true. And you true shepards of the flock of the Master must contend with those teachers and subverters of the faith by crying day and night to the people, to behold the Lamb of God which taketh away the sins of the world. In some way, and some how, the minister must get his flock to see that sin is hateful in the sight of God and that no amount of learning will excuse him or her, or atone for their guilt. We are to bring them to see what Christ meant when he said to Nicodemus Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. This leads me to say that the pastor who performs his duty must of necessity be a busy man. His place is in the Sunday School; his duties take him to the sick room; he must visit from house to house; he must preach funerals and try to get saints and sinners into heaven, or else be criticised by some members of his fold. In a word he is to be all things to all men that he may win them to Christ. This, Mr. Chairman and breth ren I conceive to be the work of the pastor, and whatever you may add to what has been said in your further discussion of this subject will be thankfully received by the writer.

While we found the drama full to the brim of sentiment that engenders race hate in the hearts of uncultured and fire eating elements of both races, yet, we did not see all that we anticipated. As we observed the effect the production had on its audience, which was 95 or 98 per cent white, we could see and fear danger from the radicals on both sides. "The Clansman" may represent the feelings and sentiment of a large element of the white race but it certainly misrepresents the cultured Negro of today in any section of our land, and, especially in the South. It presents a weak argument, when it features the intelligent, industrious, aggressive, manly, independent and New Negro as having an unquenchable longing to join himself in marriage to his white contemporary. Demagogues, white and black may flaunt the banner of Social Equality before the thoughtless in both races, for the purpose of using them for political or other service. Many of both races may follow this delusion either to oppose its realization or to enjoy its imagined bliss. But the sensible, brave and conscientiously patriotic will consider it at its face value which is practically a myth. Social equality is not a creature of legislation. It is derived from and by affinities of mutual attraction from the hearts of individuals concerned. Hence, so long as race antipathy exists between the Negro and the American white man, social equality and social intermingling is an utter impossibility. Kingdoms and empires have in the past stipulated marriages. Republics never have and never will. The above propositions are philosophic truths well authenticated by common sense and historical facts. People of sober judgement are not worrying themselves about propositions that are absolutely personal and individual in their "sphere of influence." Negroes and the entire American people are being brought face to face with conditions today as never before since the early Sixties. As a nation, America can not much longer administer her laws under a dual standard, one for white men and another for black men. And at the same time claim both as citizens under our expanding constitution. Negro-haters, demagogues, firebrands, cowards and the selfish bigots may misrepresent the Negro's motive in his contention for his political and God given rights but the day is not far distant when the facts will be clearly seen. The Negro's traducers have deluded the unthinking white man for a generation with the "social equality" bogey. They shout from house top, throughout the valleys and upon the plains that the Negro by seeking his political rights is also eager to sit at the white man's table, marry the white man's daughter and subvert the white man's government. Look at the argument presented! Study the conditions as they are! Just think of it! Ten millions of Negroes whom the white man calls ignorant, shiftless and unattractive are going to within the next two or three generations destroy the racial identity, subvert the governmental machinery, transform the social fabric, revolutionize the political organisms and demoralize, denationalize and annihilate seventy millions of the white race—the race that boasts of its 1500 years of culture and supremacy. Looking the matter squarely and honestly in the face, does not the contentions set forth by "The Clansman," The Carmacks, The Vaudamans and all of that gallant array of Southern voodoos, who see things at night, appear so comical that to the enlightened they are colossal examples of ridiculousness. They either have very little confidence in their valor or believe the American people to be a vast aggregation of fools. America's New Negro does not seek social or marital equality with the whites. He does and will continue to contend for his rights under the constitution. He brands as a malicious slander any allegations from any source by any body that he is anxious, even remotely, to merge his identity with any race. He asks other races to refrain from emptying their illegitimate blood into his veins.

Resolve, That in our sorrow for a faithful brother, we find consolation in the belief that it is well with him we mourn. Resolve, That while we deeply sympatize with those who were bound to our departed brother by the nearest and dearest ties, we share with them the hope of a reunion in that better world where there are no more parting, and bliss ineffably forbids all tears. Resolve, That a copy of of the of the preamble and resolutions now adopted be transmitted to each of the local papers, one to the Conservator and one to the family of the deceased, as a token of their respect and the veneration for the brotherly love of a good man gone to his rest.

I have carefully considered everything, the work and the men, it is impossible to appoint all the meetings on Sunday. I have done the very best that I could. No personal feelings of friendship have moved me in any way. Come to the Conference with no blank reports. When you make excuses for your people, in most cases it simply means to hedge your own way. God and you can bring things to pass. Remember the South Western Christian Advocate. Faithfully yours, A. H. HIGGS, P. E. Knights of Pythias. Knights of Pythias.
