The Sunday school Cause.

The State Convention called by an Executive
appointed in Atlanta last April, met
in Greenvile ON the 2lst and 22d Of August
About eighty delegates were present. Three
fourths Of the Counties were represented. Be-
fore the Convention met the doubters prophesied
n failure and the friends Of the cause were filled
with anxiety, knowing that failure at Green
Vile woull re,arl elective and organized Sun
day SchoSf wdrk In South Carolina for years to
come. But the Convention was grand success.
The delegates Carried home with them an earn
estness and entlnisiasm, that will carry them on
till the next meeting Of the Convention. DR..
James II. Carlisle Vas chosen President That
in itself implied success. One of the objects of
the Convention is to organize the State in such
q way that we may KNOW what the Sunday
School is doing, and What it has not done. IL
is desirable that the srcscnt schools be made
more effective and thatthc unoccupied territory
have schools cstablishcIas as possible. 1t
is also the aim of the friends of the Convention
to make il 80 good that hereafter there will be
no lack Of delegates froli any County.
!. To complete the State drganization 1t is neces-
sary for each County to 5et up County Conven-
ton at once. This is easily done, II three OF
four earnest teachers will take the matter III
hag1C Ing CONVENTION S at Rsfd1i,Io A largo number
of delegates was present from every corner Of
the County. Many earnest and able speeches
were made. They were all short; not single
one running over fifteen minutes. The large
chapel ut the Female College was crowded with
an attentive audience. At that County Convcn-
ton, tie valuable instruction impaired and the
enthusiasm aroused, will tell on the Sunday
Schools Of the County. What Spartanburg has
done, Union can do. few earnest men should
meet and ialk the matter over in sensible,
business like way. If it he too late in the
son to call convention this fall, make arrange
ments to have one in April or May next, before
the meeting Of the State Convention. Union
cannot afford to be behind the other Counties
in this matter. The Columns of the TIMES are
always open to Sunday School men and women,
and slari-poinicd paragraphs, bearing OH this
all-important work, arc solicited. If the Sun
day School men do not move in this matter we
will nominate an executive Committee ourselves
and appoint the time cf meeting.

For the Times.
A Great Work in Progress.

Mr. EDITOR We have just closed n very in
teresing meeting at Mt. Tabor. The services
continued four days. Twelve were received in
to the Church, on profession Of faith in Christ.
IL is wonderful to see what q change has taken
place. in I" religious aspect, am9Y6ec M he county in
%ss sspeSsisaIhItHig psSs gborhoods Of bethlehem, wes
lcy's Chapel and Mt Tabor. About thirty have
already organized themselves into Young Mems
Christian Association. They meet, rs body,
every Saturday night, to hold religious services,
and different divisions hold prayer meetings in
their immediate ncighborhoods once n week.
They require every who joins, being
member of Church, to offer prayer when called
upon at any of their meetings. If he is not u
member Of church, he must promise to quit
swearing, gambling, drinking liquor &c. That
much good is being done by the Association, in
the portion of the county referred to- none will
dispute. Many of the most dissipated and
reckless young men have Joined some branch Of
the Church and are now prominent in the Asso-
citation. During cur meeting these yossag mon
generally held n prayer meeting before the hour
for preaching, and more earnest and appropri-
ate prayers | have never heard Mr.. Edi-
tor have never attended just such q meeting.
We all feel it TO be the most encouraging one
we have ever witnessed. The young men are
working for the Lord and we are assured that,
by Ills help, they can do more i'll checking the
progress of vice and immortality than any other
class among u.s. Let the young men, one and
all, think of this. United in the cause of vir=
| tue and religion. they can WELD an influence for
gool found no where else. Let us all, then
speak cncouragingly TO the young persons en-
gagged in this noble work. Lot our prayers ascend

TAKE TmREE.-Evcry wise and patriotic fan
mcr should take three papers at The very least.
lie should take his local paper because Of the
important advertising service it is rendering TO
the particular section in which it is published,
and for which it exists; he should take an agri-
cultural paper that he may know all about the
latest improvements in his business, that he ms y
keep his ideas bright and that his sons and
daughters, if he has any, may learn to love
country life through an acquaintance with its
literature ; and he should take Of the great
~polilical wcrklics-somcthing thoroughly cos
mopoitan. and that will give him the freshest
and best from every corner of the earth. The
farmer who has such an outfit cannot lie behind
the times.
We don't know who wrote the above, but
whoever he may be stopped short of what we
conceive to he n houndcn duty of every head Of
family. No family should be without its
church newspaper The Ica|'"g political paper
should give place to the church paper, in our
opinion.
We regret To state that many families in this
County take no paper at all, not even their
County or Church paper, either of which Coull

We would not thus break the privacy Of any
part of your note to us if we had not heard it
said in other quarters that the TINES was con-
trUllcl by certain parties in this town.
If you any other person say. or insinuatc,
that amy other man than X. NJ Stokes has any
thing to do with the conduction of the TINES,
i'll any respect, the assertion or insinuaton is ut
tcrly false. NJ man in this town or County has
even much advised with us as to the courses
| the TIMES should take and we say further that
| during the whole course of our nine year con-
nccton with this paper there has not appeared
in its columns, as Editorial, mprc than two pc
| litcal articles that we did not. write. Ia two
cases, when We were Sick sOmi gears oyo, we re-
qucstcd gentleman to write aficlcs upon GER
tain political questions and he did so {; but he,
even, did not live in the town of Union. We
care not one jot about mcn's opinion Of our
ability, but when we arc told rhat we write at
The command or under the influence of other
men we think manhood is attacked and we
| dare resent il, because it is false. If there is
one thing we can boast of il, is that VIC do our
own thinking and writing for the paper and
