A DAY OF FASTING AND PRAYEs.-Tha
State Democratic Executive Committee has
issued the annexed circular, requesting that
the 26th inst be set apart as day Of fasting.
humiliation and prayer:
RooMs STATE DEM Ex. Committee,
COLUMBIA, 8. c., Oct. 4, 1875.
Several communications have been re-
ceived by this committee from different
quarters of the State asking that, at an early
date, day be fixed, and that all citizens be
invited to dedicate that day to fasting, hu-
initiation and prayer. The committee hes
no official authority to make such call, and
feels that under ordinary circumstances Its
propriety as relating to the triumph Of
party in political contest might be ques.
toned But the present Is no party contest,
nor do we strive for personal gain or Office
or honor. Either We are laboring for the
moral and material advantage of the whole
people or our protestations are all false.
This being our firm conviction, we venture
tobring our case before the Tribunal Of Al
mighty Justice and invoke divine aid In
behalf Of our afflicted State and its people;
therefore, our fellow-citizens are earnestly
and respectfully invited to set apart Thurs.
day, the 18th day of the present month, ~
day of fasting, humiliation and prayer. Its
requested that all places Of business be closed
and labor suspended, that all may assemble
at the several places Of divine worship; and
the ministers of the gospel are solicited Il,
open the churches for service on that day
and lead us in the prayer unto Almighty
God that Justice, peace and prosperity, mercy
and truth, with fellowship and good feeling
to all men may come back and prevail
among our long suffering and much dis
turbed people.
In reverence and with humility.
