North Carolina Briefs.

‘The Primary Department or the parochial
school of Immanuel College at Greensboro having
outgrown the seating capacity of the two class-
rooms, —three in a bench or a row of youngsters
on the (teacher’s) platform at the teacher’s feet
being nothing extraordinary, — will now be divided
into three classes, the new class to be conducted by
a scholar of the Normal Class of the College.

With the arrival of three boys this week all the
available room will be filled, owing to the fact that
the parochial school forces us to use bedrooms and
study-rooms as classrooms. But—we do not say,
Stop sending the boys! Just let them take the
next train, we'll make room.

The students of the College are showing their
bodily strength during spare hours by turning the
‘barren, soured soil and amusement park of the
crawfish into a healthier looking plot, which, we
hope, will ultimately repay the labors and money
spent thereon by a grateful green lawn, sweet-
scented flowers, and a pleasing shrubbery.

The Bethlehem Congregation of Monroe, N. C.,
Pastor McDavid’s charge, begs leave through the
columns of the PionreEr to gratefully acknowledge
the gift of a fine cabinet organ which was donated
to them by Mr. Andrew Werling of Ossian, Ind.
The organ was dedicated Sunday, November 8th,
amid great rejoicing. H. G.

Gossip.

The pious Philip of Neri was once: visited by
a Jady, who accused herself of slander. He bade
her go to the market, buy a chicken just killed
and still covered with featliers, and walk a certain
distance, plucking the bird as she went.

The woman did as she was directed and re-
turned, anxious to know the meaning of the in-
junction.

“Retrace your steps,” said Philip, “and gather
up, one by one, all the feathers you have scattered.”

“T cast the feathers carelessly away,” said the
woman, “and the wind carried them in all direc-
tions.” ;

“Well, my child,” replied Philip, “so is it with
your words of slander; like the feathers which the
wind has scattered they have been wafted in many
directions. Call them back now, if you can. Go,
sin no more.”

Epistle Jessons of the chureh year from the first Sunday

inaugural sermons, sermons for preparatory services, for

cellent sermon outlines, being convinced that they will be
a valuable help to preachers in their pulpit work. May

be encouraged soon to issue the other three numbers which
