In tho olly of Charleston, South Caro lipa, tho first Stato to sccodo from tho Union, uro assembled this week thou sands of thoso who, from 1801 to 1805, faced shot and sholl in dofonco of princi ples of freedom dear to tho heart. Tho Hag wbioh. thoy followed was furled at Appomattox, and elnco then its folds hovo boon only mute emblems of'the "Lost Causo." For four years tho most fearful war in history was waged, tho continent, trembled under tho tread of armod hosts, as tho Caucasian of the North and tho Caucasian of the South mot iu doadly array lt was a conflict between tho master spirits of tho same groat raco, a death grapple among giants. It was brother, going to war against, brother, each inspired with a spirit of patriotism nnd devotion to principios whloh, owing to widely di (Toron t onvi roumonta, woro honestly conceived and reduced to practico. Tho conflict bad become irrepressible. Tho intellectual giants of the former generation had spent their forces in vain in tho halls of Congress and councils of State. Tho war of words had raged fast and furious at times for some thirty yoars between tho two schools which in sti?\od diametrically opposite construc tions of tho Federal Constitution. The great triumvirate, Calhoun, Clay ami Webster, exhausted their energies in at tempting to solvo the weighty problem of statecraft, but passed oi? the stage of action and slept with their lathers, leav ing tho burdon of rapidly accumulating woight to bo taken up by thoso of woakor hands and smaller minds. After their oxit ton years of crimination and recrimination sufficed to lind the whole Union ablaze with tho warliko spirit. Nothing short of an appeal to tho arbit rament of tho sword would sn ill co. The blood ran hot, and hotter still, until the dogs of war woro loosed. The die was east, tho Rubicon wa? crossed, and for four long, weary years tho dower of tho youth and manhood of the Month and the North bivouacked on tho bloody held. Hut nt last the appeal to the sword was Bottled, and a final decision had, so far is a policy of government, or a principio of right eau bo settled at the point of tho bayonet. The decision was adverso to tho Con fed orate Stales, and notwithstanding tho ineaeulable loss of blood and treasure, the decision was ac cepted in good faith by the pcoploof the South who, having fought to the last diteh and across it, bowed to the Inevi table, when their dcplotcd ranks could no longer stand against tho overwhelm ing uumbor of their enemy. Hut it was nu honorable defeat, not one jot or tittle of self-respect was lost, and every sur vivor can stand up today and proudly challenge the world to witness the glory and prowess of tho "Hoys in Groy," and render a just tribute of praise to tho memory of those brave sons of the Southland who offorod. up their lives as a willing sacrifice on the altar of tho "Lost Causo." Their deeds will furnish rich material for futuro historians, and their valor will live in story and in song. God forbid that tho day should ever como when they would forgotten be. Sooner lot tho tongue be palsied and t he I right hand ' forget its cunning. All j homage, respect and reverence to their memory. And this will never retard tho progress of the present nor impede the discharge j of duty. His sometimes said that a NKW South is being ushered in upon us; that the o?.o South, with its traditions ami i t i I memories, is no longer equal to the ! linties of tho present hour. Away with j such stuff I Tho past is sacred, and tie- j votion to duty never dies. Our future is I propitious, but tho golden opportunities' must bo embraced by men who owe alle giance to principle, and have the courage togo forward in the fearless discharge of duty regardless of consequences to themselves. In short, the spirit of de votion to manifest duty which was dis played by our fathers in tho sixties, i must Btill abido with their sons on tho | ushering in of tho twentieth century, if thoy would achieve the highest, brightest and best within their roach. Tho oppor tunities afforded to-day aro different to thoso of forty years ago, but thoso new opportunities aro freighted with new responsibilities. "Responsibility," said Lord Lytton, "that IIKAVIKHT word in all our language" "Duty," said Hebert E. Leo, in still higher strain, "that Noni.KST word in all our language." Thc sons of those who followed tho fortunes of war aro now lighting a peace ful battlo in tho marts of trade and com merce, in industrial pursuits, in tho workshop and in tho Held. In this bat tle it seems that tho God of nature is on our sido. There can be no question that the natural advantages 'of tho South are superior to thoso of tho North. With their full development will come a natu ral supremacy. In tho manufacturo of cotton tho Southern mills are fast wrest ing the prestige from tho mills of New England. This is only one of many in stances in which wo are blessed in mate rial things. Tho strides already made by tho South since tho war are the won der of tho ago. Let us provo true to tho sacred traditions and memories of tho past, in war and in peace, and learn from our sires and grands!res tho lesson of fidelity to duty, and genug forward ever faithfully In tho discharge of that duty, lot us transmit to thoso who shall come nftnr ns our glorious inheritance without Bpot or blomish or any such thing.

Tho Ninth International SundaySohool Convention, whioh mot in Atlanta, Qa., April 20-50, represents tho Protestant Evangelical Sunday Schools of tho Uuitod States, tho BritiBh North A monean Prov ?noos and Mexico. Tho convention moot? ovory threo years and is composed of dologatos chosen by tho Stato, Torrit >rial and Prov?nola) Sunday Sohool ABsooia tionsr Thoro woro in nttoudanoo at this ninth oonvontion 1,082 dologatos. Tho principal objoot of ita meetings is to got tho host methods of studying tho Hilde and tho host methods of getting ovory individual interested in this study. lu order to accomplish this it is nocos sary that a complete chain of organiza tion ho mai nt nilled from tho international convention to tho individual teacher, hence wo liavo tho international organi zation, willoh is tho watch-tower of tho wholo Hold ; thon tho Stato oonvontion ; noxt county, aud, last, township conven tion, which embraces ovory Sunday sohool ofllcor nud toaohor within its boundary, thus covering tho whole hold. Tho practicability of organized work was woll illustrated by one cf tim speak ers tolling of tho child lost in a groat whoat Hold, whioh could bo rosouod in half hour by uuitod off011, \vhoro days might bo wasted in individual work, but tho ninth international convention ncodod no illustration on this subject, for it had only to liston to tho fact that ovor a fifth of tho population of tho Uuitod States was in Sunday school to realizo tho vast progross made, and that thoro novor was a timo when tho "Old Hook" was entrenched in so many loyal hearts. Most of tho work of tho convention is ncccBBarily dono by committoos, thc most important of which aro tho execu tive and lcsBon committoos. Tho oxecu tivo committoo servos tinco years and is composed of sixty mombors, ono from each of tho States, Territories and Prov inces. B. V. Jacobs, tho veteran Sunday 'school workor, was chairman of tho ox cent i ve committoo and ono of tho load ing spirits of tho body. Ho was olectod chairman of tho World's Commission to mako a tour of all countries where tho iliblo io taught children. Ho was suc ceeded as chairman of executive com mittoo by John Wanamaker. Mr. C. ll. Carlislo remains on (his committoo for South Carolina. Tho lesson committoo hs composed of fifteen niombcrs, representing tho largor denominations, and servo for six years. Ur. John Potts, chairman of lesson com mittoo, is of world-wide reputation. Tho present committoo remains in ofllco until 1002 and selects lessons for tho next six yoars, beginning with loot). The entire series will bo principally of a biographical ordor. Tho report of this cominitteo was vory interesting and they called attention to tho fact that tho verses selected by them for tho lesson had to ho choson to snit tho masses of busy peoplo, but that no teacher was limited to only thoso verses. Thc finnuoo committoo made tho unu sual report of having a balanco to their credit. Dr. T. IT. Law, of Spartanburg, was put on obituary committoo. All tho reports of other committees and workers woro encouraging. In addition to tho three regular mect> nigs of tho convention, tho Fiold-Work ors' Association, tho Primary Depart ment and Homo Department loaders held meetings before and after tho gene ral meetings. Mr. H. P. .Jacobs taught a Hiblo class two mornings at 6.80 o'clock, and they were well attended. All of tho addresses were supposed to ho models and were certainly full of sug gestions, emphasizing tho educational and spiritual sido of tho work, but tho thought that impressed mo as being most frequently brought out in them was that our words will novor further than out lives will carry them, or as expressed hy Em orson, "What .you aro speaks so loud 1 cannot hear what you say." Tho convention paid Atlanta tho grace ful compliment of electing Hon. Hoke Smith President of the Convention. Mr. Smith happens to ho a Presbyterian and ono of tho pleasantries of the hour oc curred by tho chairman of tho nominat ing committoo saying that thoir Hands woro tied in tho matter, that Mr. Smith bad boon predestined from all otornity to bo president of this convention, and thoroforo bo was nominated. Af'cr his election Mr. Smith replied that though ho had been prodostinod to hold this ofllco, ho was Hinch obliged to tho Con vention for making his calling and elec tion sure. Tho mi.sic was (ino under the manage ment of Prof. H. C. Davis. Tho convention as a wdiolo, with thc oxcoption of ono jar, was unanimous onthui istic, uplifting and successful. Tho next meeting, three years heneo, will be held in Denver, Colorado, While tho groat work of the oonvon tion was never lost sight of, the dolo gatos found timo to tako in thc unvailing of tho Confed?ralo monumont, tho mo mortal ceremonies at Grady's monumont, reception at tho Governor's mansion, drives about tho city, aud, in short, en joyed much of Atlanta's proverbial hos pitality and found her so charming that they agreed with ono speaker when ho said, "No wonder Atlanta brags on her self."
