The meeting of the Virginia Baptist state convention is to be one of considerable im- portance to those engaged in missionary work and a large attendance is expected. This is to be the twenty-fifth annual meeting as well as the celebration of the one hundredth enniversary of the beginning of the work. William Cary, the pioneer of the movement, began his work just one hundred years,ago and his watchword was: “Expect great things from God; attempt xreat things for God.” In connection with this work « dollar collec- tion is being taken up this year, which money is to be applied to the erection of new buildings and increxsing the miseiouary force. The objects of the convention as set forth in the constitution are the diffusion of the gospel of Jesus Christ, by sending out missionaries into destitute regions; planting and training churebes; distributing the Bible and other printed ‘truth; promoting Sabbath schools and general education, especially that of the ministry, throughout the state of Virginia; also to advance the interest of the kingdom of Jesus Christ in Africa and other foreign lands, as far as lieth within the ability of the conven- tion. The foreign mission board is located in Richmond. ‘The officers of the convention are: President, Prof. D. N. Vi first resident, Rov. vice pris recording secretary, sponding secretary, Dr. J.

THE NATIONAL CONVENTION PROPOSITION. The meeting called to consider the advis- ability of organizing « national Baptist educa- tional convention will meet at the Second Bap- tist Church May 16 and17. Rev. W. Bishop Johnson, pastor of the church, has been work- ing hard in the interests of ‘this convention and he expects that there will be fully 150 dele- gates present. The call for the convention, which is dated April 15, says: The educational statistics of the denomiaation show that we have 56 schools for higher education, 273 instructors, 7,245 students, with grounds and buildings valued at $1,075,- $40. These forces shouid be organized; there- fore the undersigned brethren have decided to call a convention to meet at Washington, D. C., May 16, 1892, at the Second Baptist Church, for the purpose of effecting the following ob- jects: 1. To secure and collect such data and sta- tistics of the educational work of the denomi- nation as may be used for instruction and reference by Baptists in particular and the world in general. 2 To assist graduates of our schools in se- curing positions as teachers and employment in whatever may be their chosen profession or caling. 3. To provide a fund for the assistance of promising young men and women as teachers aud studenis, and thus show to those who have helped us rially our willingness to do something for ourselves, 4. To bring together the educators of the denomination for mutual interchange of views, and thus better acquaint ourselves with the men and women who are heiping to give char- acter and history to the colored Baptists. Continuing, the call says: It is hoped that this mecting will convene with the two great national herings, the U. S. foreign mission and the national Baptist conventions, It is to be in perfect —— with the A. B. H. M. Society and 1s intended to antagonize no exist- ing organizations. The necessity of such a body needs no argu- ment; all will agree that it is imperative. ‘The press of the denomination indorses it and all the friends of Christian education are asked to give to it that hearty co-operation that will make it a power for God and humanity, SOME OF THE SIGNERs.

She was visiting in some house lately where the man servant wore whiskers, and that struck her as being such thoroughly bad form that she could not get over it. She remarked that “My mamma would not have a butler who wore those ugly whiskers, In fact, nobody would unless they were just trying to get into society and did not kuow any better.” This remark from a six-year-old philosopher and its amus- ing connection of ideas was about as astonish- ing to her mother as was,another the day she au- nounced “that she did not see any use of giving party unless all about it was in the Paper : ‘The first party she went to in this city was the McLean children’s ball, where she appeared asa poppy and was beautifully dressed in tulle and the flowers to carry out the idea.

The custom has heretofore been that on the putting down of pavements on unpaved streets the first cost was Lorne by the city to the ex- tent of one-third, the remaining two-thirds by the holders of tho real estate fronting on the street. To this the renewal of the cobble stone on Prince above Washington street a few years since was made the first exception. ‘There the property holders paid two-thirds tor the repaving, as if the pavement were a new one. The repairs of streets have always been made at the cost of the general fund of tho city. The attorney of the corporation holds that if the terms of the thirty-third section of the charter be complied with the city has aright to change the pavement on any street, tearing up an old one and putting down a new kind, after propor petitions for that purpose have been presented.
