Charleston, May 23d, 1916
BY WILLIAM AK EN-, Governor and
Commandcr-inC Chief, in and over the
State of South Caroline.
A REQUISITION having been
made on the State Of South Carolina by
the President Of the United States, for n
REGIMENT OF INFANTRY, "to
be enrolled and held in readiness for
muster into the service Of the United
Sta,es"-
! J, William Aiken, Governor and
Commander-,n-Chef Of the State Of
South Carolina, do issue this my Pro
cllmation, calling upon the citizens
thereof, to come forward and enrol
themselves in the service of their coun-
try.
Congress has authorized the organi-
zatioa of fifty thousand volunteers TO
serve for twelve months, and the privi-
lege is now accorded to the people of
this State to furnish their proportion of
the defenders of our country.
Where every consideration of duty
and patriotism calls so loudly upon the
citizens of our republic-,he Executive
is assured that there needs no appeal
from him to stimulate the hearts Of his
countrymen. Our gallant army on the
Rio Grande, embarrassed for time by
superior number and the craft of the enc
my, have signally vindicated the honor
Of the country and the reputation of our

\ Truly AFFECTING ScENE.-On
Saturday last, says the New Orleans
Delta, there was a barbecue given the
way in which the citizens of the West
and South West give evidence of their
hospitality-to the patriotic volunteers.
What occurred at this rural feast we shall
pass ovcr-making no note of the
thoughts that breathe of the audience or
of the words that burn of the orator.
Mr.. Brent, well known in this city as
distinguished member of the Convention,
who framed the new Constitution. We
hurry on to describe scene in which
religion was blended with patriotism
piety with love Of country.
On Sunday last it was understood
that all would meet at the parish church,
and that after prayers for the country's
protection, and benediction from the
minister of religion on those who were
about to depart for the scene Of honor
for the scene Of strife, a general parting
farewell would be taken. The bell
toiled the time for prayer, its call was
responded to, and there knclt they, side
by side in prayer, who ne'er may meet
again.
Divine service over, the thick and fog
gy smoke from the steamboat gave note
OF preparation to the volunteers about TO
start to avenge their country's wrongs
to defend their country's rights. They
arranged themselves in single files on
either side of the neatly gravelled- walk
that lead into the church door, and then
came

D1FFERENT KINDS OF RELIGION
Rev DIR. Barnes, in his sermon before
the missionary meeting at Worcester.
Mass, enumerated the following kinds
OF religion as prevalent at the present
time:-
l. There is the religion of sentiment
that finds its enjoyment in The contem.
plat'on of the beautiful and grand, eth.
CT OH the page Of nature or~reveiation
delighted in the starry heavens and in
the verdant fields, and in the story of
redemption, where the love of God is
revealed In these displays of Deity
there is no attribute on which it does NOT
love to dwell. This is the religion of
poetry and philosophy.
2. The religion of forms, that began
in the early ages of the church to intro.
duce the rights and ceremonies of hea.
thenism into the Christian church. and
despite of the Reformation, that for
season checked its tendency, there is a
constant inclination to relapse into it
again.
3. The religion of feeling that esti.
mates the value Of religion by the p
mount of excitement it produces: il
makes happiness the guage of pietv. and
the facility of shedding tears the evi-
dence OF repentance, and joy the proof
of conversion.
f. TheEeligion of Principle has some.
thing, in common with all these kinds
of religion, but differs from them all
1t embraces an intellectual adoption of
right as rule of action, and steadfast
adherance to it. 1t finds its AUTHORITY
not in whims or customs, or even the
laws of men, and does what is right and
true, come what may. 1t makes the
greatest sacrifices, and performs the
most heroic deeds, not to be ernblazoned
among men, or canonized when dead.
but because it is right, and God wills il,

Then after our astonishment had been
sufficiently expressed, he would assure
US that the Spaniard brought the bull
down pursuant to order; and he had an
old pair of elkskin breeches, ripped on
the neither edge of one leg by a bullet,
which he tried to assure US were the
Identical breeches he wore on that occa-
sion.
