A. B. S. -Du English, son of DuBrutz and Estelle English, was born on September 18, 1904, and died in Mount Olive, N. December 16, 1908.

Du Brutz was physically a frail child, but mentally he seemed to think beyond his years. He did not suffer long in his last sickness, but died quickly after he was taken sick. His life was one continuous ray of sunshine to his parents, and his ahsence makes the world much darker to them and heaven brighter and nearer. The father's strong heart lavished freely all his love upon the child, and the mother gave the richness of a mother's love. These fond parents sorrowingly but submissively have given back the pure life to Him who said, "Such as these are the kingdom of May God comfort the sorrowing parents and make the family circle complete in heaven.

E. E. ROSE. B. Swann passed away at the home of his father, J.

A. Swan, of Pelham, N. December 23, 1908, being twenty-two years, ten months and twenty days old. William was educated at Guilford College and afterwards held some honorable positions, the last of which was a clerk in the first National Bank of Danville, Va. Here his health failed him, compelling him to go to the sanitorium, but that proved of no avail and he returned home to continue the prolonged struggle of nearly two years with a fatal disease, most of the time being almost helpless.

C. in Polkton, N. December 21, 1908, in the thirtysixth year of her age, Mrs. Alma Blue, beloved wife of Mr. D.

L. Blue, of Clarkton, N. C. In early youth she joined the Methodist Church and up to the day of her death was a consistent member of the same. Humility, truthfulness, sincerity and sweetness of disposition were noticeable traits in her character.

Kindhearted, the world will never know the good she did. Quietly she dispensed her charity, following the command of her Saviour, and her left hand did not know what her right hand did. In gentleness, she was so much like her sainted mother, and those who knew her best loved her most. She was a daughter of the late S. S.

Carter, and as wife, was a helpmeet indeed to her now sorrowing husband. For a long time she was in delicate health and bore in patience her sufferings. The writer knew her from a child and never heard her complain. One would never know but from her looks that disease was doing its deadly work. We felt that the end was not far off, but when death came it was a shock to us all.

But she was ready for the call to come up higher, for I heard a voice from heaven saying, "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord." That God may comfort her loved ones upon whom this blow falls SO heavily is the earnest prayer of a life-long friend. COM. President Helps Orphans.

B. RYAN, P. Portsmouth Va. In the religious life are found the strongest motives and incentives for education. Infidelity has no right to boast of its culture.

It has not in it the forces that produce the highest mental activities. The students who crowd our institutions of learning to-day come from the homes of church-going people, and they are stirred by aspirations that are born in their religious life. The gospel of Christ in its essential nature calls out the highest possibilities of a man, and the very processes OL his religious development compel him to covet earnestly the best gifts. Hence education is the natural work of the church. She has felt the call from the beginning, and her labors, in this field have put the world under obligations which it can never pay.

And never was there a time when Christian men and women should stand more loyally to these institutions of the church than today. Neither greed for gold, nor love of power, should be allowed to lure uS away from our fidelity to those eternal principles according to which we have come to our present heritage. The General Board of Education. -The report of our General Board to this Conference shows the past year to have been one of varying prosperity to the educational institutions of our own church. The money put into buildings shows an increase of $19,360 over the preceding year, and the value of scientific equipment shows an increase of $27,633.

To our libraries have been added 59,453 volumes, while our Church now has in endowment funds $4,051,463. This shows an increase for the past year of 247. We are pained to note that the income of these institutions throughout our Church shows a decrease both from tuitition and from Annual Conference assessments, and the number of students enrolled likewise shows a decrease of 1,011. It is pleasing, however to note that the number of students looking to the ministry shows an increase of 113. While some of these figures are not so cheering as we could wish, there are elements of growth in them; and the falling off at certain points may be accounted for by the unusual financial depression of the times.

They should only incite us to stronger and more united efforts to push forward this great cause. Universities: Vanderbilt report from any department of this great institution has come to your Board this year. We cannot therefore give any information as to its progress. From the reports of our examining committees, we note that most of our undergraduates in the Conference Course are taking this Course through the Correspondence School. We are gratified at this, and trust that it will continue to be the case.

We earnestly commend all the Departments of this institution to the patronage of our people. Trinity instiution has our abiding love and confidence. We owe a debt of gratitude to the heroic Christian men who have toiled so faithfully through the years to bring it to its present high state of efficiency and service in the cause of Christian education. In its standard of scholarship it is surpassed by none in all this Southland. The members of its faculty are scholarly men, trained for and devoted to their work; and they constantly seek to develop high ideals of manhood and womanhood in those committed to their care.

We are exceedingly gratified at the continued growth of this beloved institution. Last June it graduated the largest class in its history. It conferred the degree of Bachelor of Arts upon forty-six persons, and the degree of Master (Continued on Page 16.).
