High PraUe of the MBiiftgpmeutKenderiuff to Caeaar the Tblnjf* that are ('HPNHr'ii-Niitnnl Work ol Parent nml Teacher. Editor Press and Banner : Allow ine to thauk you for your editorial commending the management of the Graded School under the direction of Prof. Gilliam. Your words of modest praise were what any and every patron of the school mteht have Rnokan. One of Prof. Gilliam's littie first grade scholars was very sick at my house when your article appeared, and this accounts for my delay in thanking you. It is a beautiful custom to scatter flowers and praise over the dead, but far more divine to speak an honest word of commendation to the living, I especially to the faithful teacher who I does work for time and eternity, j Where does the teacher stand in regard to our children ? The Almighty God our heavenly father comes first, "the parent second, the teacher third. Does he not occupy a position wnicb should be hedged about almost by divinity? If a child grown to mature years defies this sacred trinity of spirf ltual, loving, guiding counsel, into 8 ? - -1 r?ll O T~4-~ fkn wnose naiias uues ue ma; iuiu iuc stern clutches of the law as represented in the person of Magistrate and Sheriff*. Then how it becometh, yea, / and profiteth us to uphold the discipline of the teacher and like Moses' friends bold up his hands that he may have the strength to carry this important issue to a finish. Having had seven children?five one and two daughters?to attend the Graded School under its present prin1 cipal, I may speak as it were cathedra. Yes, with the authority which comes from certain knowledge?not guess worfc, not imagination, but from a cool, matter-of-fact, busiuess point of view. Two of these seven are teachers of the best paid schools in this or adjoining counties, their earning capacity being from seventy to eighty dollarb per month, in schools averaging an eight month's term. The third euter ed uresnman ciaas id mum coiiege utter having finished the eighth grade. The progress of the other four is all that could be desired. One of these, under Prof. Gilliam's brilliant and unique plan of advancement, making two grades in one year. "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's !" Attd this saying reminds us that thisremarkable feat is also due to the brilliant conscientious efforts of that peerless teacher, Miss Kate Jacksoo Harris, of the fifth grade aud Alabama. I do not know that it is at all wise to speak so openly of our treasures oi , school teachers?some other bailiwick will be making them tempting offers. Mr. Editor, you are always working 1" for the advancement of your Abbeville ; if you think best, suppress this dangerous information. Again, with reverence we write it ? this sacred trinity which guards the i holy portals of childhood?Almighty fKa tnonhnr nAnofitntf \JUUj bUO IUV M.(*cuwi| VVUWVAVW?V a sort of priesthood to which many are . called, see to it, parents, that you put / not the sacred fire which God hath entrusted to us to uuholy purposes "Touch not mine anointed" is aa orthodox command, and is so laid down in the discipline of our churebet). Therefore when we do not by every means in our power defend this consecrated, yet to our visible eye, unorL dained priesthood, we deny the faith. | In olden times Jerusalem, the citj which the Christ wept over, stoned the prophets. Who were the prophets ? The teachers of Lhe people. Do iwe not remember that awful punishment inflicted upon those parent* whose forty children mocked the aged prophet? Their children were slain and devoured 1)y bears. Are we guiltless in this enlightened age? Do we stone the prophets? Aye, perhaps if ? . we had our justice the bears would de ? i.? * i - r 4 i? ?u:i vour ine pareuis lumeau ui me uundreD, who only cried, "Go up, thou i bald bead!? It is a ead fact that our newspapers, our societies, our daily conversation teaches to our children a lot of sentimental sedition which is, figuratively speaking, sowing tbe wind to reap the whirlwind. We hear so much bitterness about the civil war, that colossal crime of the nineteenth century, which left widows and orphans, desolation and ashes for our portion. Ail this one-sided talk sinks deep into the minds of tender, unformed iutellects, and presently you hear tbe youug creatures say something bitter about our government. Who among us is endeavoring to stem the tide? Our old soldiers? Our old soldier editors? t ; Some few golden hearted, too brave to be embittered by defeat, set a noble example, but tbey are conspicuous by L their paucity. But our teachers are * - * - J..*.. y ^ CenaiDiy uuiug mcu UUI) aiuu^ lua line. They are working silently, yet surely, to build a New South, which casting the dead past behind keeps step with the chariot wheels of progress and a radiant future of mental and industrial development. We do not wish to be disrespectful or iconoclastic, but in all seriousness the man who by brain or money builds up the industries of our country is worth to the South ten thousand Jefferson DaE vises. We are not inviting the prophets' death, therefore we will not say all that could be said along this line. Yes, history repeats itself. Coming down to the time of the Roman Emi nafnuH r*f pnnbinr* rvr otnninty |JOJ UID, o a man to death, they tried often to prolong life, yet inflict the keenest torture. For instance, a young couvert to Christianity was discovered and upon his refusing to sacrifice to the gods of the Emperor, he was degraded from his rank in the imperial army and sentenced to death, with the proviso that at any time he might recant. The young martyr was bound, nude, to a tree, and a legion of dark Lybian archers were detailed to slowly shoot their arrows into the quivering flesh, yet none were allowed to touch a vital spot. The emperor and his court beheld the brave spectacle from the palace windows. Is this ever repeated iu ' our tender-hearted, enlightened age? Never, never! Speak not so rashly. To nnf- f-hia aama nrnnpou anna fhrnncrh ? f?~~~~ o o? when we elect a man to a responsible ' position with hundreds of unformed intellects to be controlled to deliberately hedge him about witb such rules and regulations that it is a surprise when utter anarchy does not result? ?L 1 If he disciplines we shoot Lybian arkIiL . rows, if he does not discipline we shoe other Lybian arrows; we rarely ki outright, but as Charles Kingsley sayi there ia a vein of the wild beast in t still, and we like to see our victim whom we have bound hand and few writhe with pain and?defeat, lligl here is where the sowing of the wiu comes in. 'l'lie parent?eacn farem-hould have an understanding wit (heir, child impressing the fact of ih sacred trinity of God, parent, teach* ?and if the latter is disobeyed, hot the others are also. By those wh have observed the beautiful faith r childhood it will be accepted that thi teaching will have an uplifting, pur fying influence upon the lives of al children. Like St. Paul, who in hi mauhood spoke with love and respec of his venerable teacher Gamaliel, w too look back with tenderest devotioi to each and every one of our teachers I All were noble men and women ?som tiave passed to me sneui majoniyotbers still linger, blessing the worli with their influence and daily work May their shadow never grow less ! One of the best of Abbeville's mat rons thus instructs her little ones?be jewels?at the beginning of eacl school term : "You may not be abL to get a perfect mark upon your stud ies; but you must bring home suci * mark upon deportment. I do no send you to school to devise ways t< torment your teacher?so you mus bring that perfect mark upon bebav ior!" That desired mark comes win ter and summer. What is the result' Her children lead their classes, al ways, in everything else, as well as de portment. Surely this American Cor elia hath her reward, for wfe do no know of a finer group of young mer and women, than the children of thii conscientious mother, who instinctive ly recognizes the sacred calling of tb< teacher. All honor to her and hers. \Ye would ao wen to imitate me oic Lion of the Piedmont,?Capt. Smythe It is piain sailing if one iB no fortunate hs to teach for his corporation. A cer tain boy, sod of a professional man undertook, we suppose, upon the itrength of his father's social position, to defy a certain rule of the school, He played ''hookey," as the Yankees call it, or as our Southern children with their purer Anglo-Saxon, name the offense "lying out," i. e., playing truant from school. This boy was giv en the reflation time and chance tc reform. When he failed to do so he was promptly expelled, just the same as if his father had been a sweeper it the mills instead of a "professional' man. Now he walks two miles to another town to obtain the same advanrages which were in sight of his hiome Capt. Smythe recognizes the sacred trinity, although he may never have expressed the idea in those words All just minds run in the same channel. We have no hesitation in saying that with the curriculum of the Abbe ville Graded School any boy or gir may have for the taking as fine at English education as is obtainable al many colleges.

The prevailing religion in Mexico is " Roman Catholic. There is much ~ which could be said along this line, " but I feel that all know Its effects and e influence too well to need further com|f ment by me, so I will pass lightly over h this and first speak to you to-day more ? of Mexico and its needs. >1 Tn ?Kq firef nlooo oho ia plorhf of. mir doors; and is she neglected by you or !" F, is a question I should like to ask. " It is a field for the display of generos? ity. Every man, if he be indeed a !t man, must be stirred and moved and e impelled to action by those sights or n sounds of suffering. A man or woman ' who would not give to Mexico would e be appealed to in vain for other fields. ~ Here Is a spectacle of suffering people 3 right before our eyes. A people who have suffered so long that they lie in a stupor, and the world has marched " by aud left them for dead. r Mexico lay bound in the forged fet1 tersof religious and political tyranny e until the year 1821, and indeed it may " be said that not until so late a date 1 as 1867 was all free matters, civil and 1 religious, secured to the people of Mex3 ico. Romanism has been the victor 1 and victim of ages. Right here in " Mexico it was that the sun might have " ceased to shine. Not that Joshua ' would slay tbe heathen, but that the * people were prepared to plunge into a " night seemingly without a sunrise. * What is being done for Mexico to1 day ? Let's see. Tbe Lord has taken 1 hold upon tbe people. Tbe churches * have partly awakened to their duty, ' ho that prejudice and oppression has , { been largely nwept away. The same England who sneered at Gary is today I 1 prouder of him than Maoedonia was * of Alexander, Athens of Pericles, or ( i Kome of Cicero. Dean Farrar said " the British Empire owed more to the ' despised Baptist cobbler Cary, and the poor contributions of the Baptist, thau * it owed to the genius of Warren Hast' ings. As tbe people learn more of the 1 work in Mexico they feel more" that 1 they should obey the command of the ' Master, "Go ye into all the world and ! preach the gospel to every creature." ' The parable of the Good Samaritan Das naa more power in me wuriu man ; any other pieoe of literature. That parable touches the common sense of | all races. Its hero stands admired by .all, and is occasionally imitated. Right here I would use this as a plea for Mexico and her suffering millions : Now, let us briefly review the results 1 | of foreign missions. Superstition, i * pride, lust, avarice and ignorance kept ' out the missionaries. Today this is greatly chauged, and missionaries go every where?the harbingers of peace, ? light and life. Now, look into the fu[ ture. Bishop Thoburn of India said 1 in an address not long ago, that since ' he had gone out the door of access bad , [ been thrown open to over 700,000,000 : of people?about half of the human 1 .race. Ignorance of languages once [ stood in the way, now 3,601 languages i join in praise of Jehovah, and the con- ( 1 fusion of Babel is giving way to uni; Bion with the note, Jesus. A part of L the whole word of God has been traus* lated into all the languages. It is, im; possible to tell how the old supersti' tions are broken down. How heathen ' temples and religions are going to decay. It is expressed in Mohammedan lands in terse but meaning sentences. Where a Christian school goes up, a mosque goes down. Judson prayed that be might be able to translate tbe Scriptures and see an buudred converts. He not only translated the Scriptures, but saw 7,361 converts. Among the Telugus in 1866 there . were 11 baptisms and 38 members of the church. In 1889 there were 6,000 baptisms and 40,000 members of the 1 church. In Africa there are over 17,- , B 000 aunually. That is not failure. If , t I had time I could give you other sta, tistics which are even more encouraging than this, for the work is only fairf ly begun; but my time i9 limited. I s will hasten on. ? The morning is dawning on nations which long have sat in darkness and ! night. The people see a great light. Three hundred thousand of those in foreign lands rejoice in God's truth, knowing that tbe work is not a failure, but just fairly begun. The cause of Christ is more valuable thau our lives. We may fall, but tbe.cause for ? i - i ? i? ii : l 11 woicn we muur simu xievtn mn, wa, ihe kingdom of this world become the kingdom of our God. Church of the living God, awake! the Master calls you to greater ettorts in saving menyea, a lost world. O Church of God. what wilt thou say, If on that awful Judgment day e They charge thee with their doom ! r J* Today, O Baptists of the South, we {i would establish without doubt, scores i- of successful missionary stations. It 11 was through the blessed truths of e Christ, brought by missionaries to our d forefathers, then savages in the Willi derness, that we receivd our Christian a civilization, with all it means. What d Christianity has done for us. it can * and will do for them. Catholicism has corrupted itself by crime and oppression. Now the people are disturbed. They are weary with the fallacy of their religion. They are like the troubled sea when it cannot rest, r, They seek something better, they kuow not what?but we know that Christ is the supplement of that need. 11 -? ?- luvlt ?,-l '?
