Sunday School Anniversary and jug
Breakings.

A most interesting entertainment was held in
the Southern Methodist Church, Aberdeen, on
Wednesday evening of last week. The occasion
was the anniversary services of the Sunday
School, together with the breaking of the mis-
sionary jugs, which the pastor, Rev. j. w.
Steele, had distributed among the scholars some
time since. The exercises opened with singing
by the choir, and prayer by Mr.. A. Lewis Hyde
after which the pastor delivered an appropriate
address, which proved the source of both in
structon and amusement to the large audience
in attendance. The classes were then called
separately, beginning with the 'Tnfant Glass;
and to each scholar the pastor presented pre-
MUM in the form of handsome Sunday
book. These books were carefully selected, and
were especially adapted to the scholars to whom
they were given. The Missionary Jugs were
next brought out and Mr.. &. G. Cronin, Super
intendcnt of the Sunday School, was appointed
jug breaker With cudgcl in hand he proceed
ed to his work of destruction. Some of the cit
tie brown jugs" resisted the blows of their de-
stroyer with remarkable tenacity, but all fl
nally yielded to their inevitable fate. Being
cast aside as rubbish, they will soon return to the
dust from which they were made, while their
treasured contents will be performing noble
work, the effect of which will live throughout
eternity. The total amount received from the
jugs was S20.S5. The prize for largest sum was
awarded to Carrie Corn, who collected S2.04-
Hilda Thompson secured the second prize, hay
ing collected S21S.
The entire exercises were interspersed with
music, and at the conclusion of the jug breaking
the choir sang the choosing hymn and the con
gregation was dismissed with the benediction.
All went to their homes highly pleased with the
evenings entertainment.
On Friday evening, missionary services were
held at the Cranberry Church, Perryman, which
is also under the charge ofRev. Mr. Steele. The
pastor had distributed jugs among the scholars
of the Sunday School and the services were in
connection with the jug-brcaking. The exer-
cises consisted of an address on omissions" by
Rev. Mr.. Steele, and an address to the children,
by Mr.. John NJ. Taylor.
The jugs were found to contain $3.50. Min
ME Taylor was awarded first premium and
Marion Taylor second, for having secured the
largest amounts. The singing added much to
the entertainment Miss Rosa Taylor presided at
the organ, and duet by Misses Nellie Michael
and Fannie Taylor, to the music, aye have done
it unto me-" was rendered with fine effect. AL
together the services were of a most interesting
character.
Rev. Mr.. Steele has inaugurated an interest
among his people in behalf of the missionary
cause, and other pastors and people would do
well to follow his example. l..

Senator Hills Remarkable Letter.

A letter from Senator b. III. Hill, of Geor-
York, lately published, has created quite n
stir in the political world The subject-mat-
ter of the communication concerns the cleo
ton just passed, and discusses the issues
which are likely to arise during the next
administration. Senator Hill evidently mis-
apprehends the result of the contest from
which the two great parties recently emerged,
and conceiving that we have "solid North
agaist "solid South" proposes that there
should be n general disruption of parties, and
that an entirely new one, which he would
call a National Union party, should be form
ed out of the ruins. But the fact is that
several Northern States voted for Hancock,
and that in many of the Southern States
Maryland, Virginia, Louisiana, &C., Repub-
lican candidates were elected over Democra-
tic opponents
The election of Garfield really changes
nothing more than the head of the govern
ment. Men who profess the ..same prin-
ciples with the President-elect will no doubt
occupy seats in the Cabinet and there seems
now, at least nothing to indicate a change of
policy Parties will always continue to exist
in such political system as we have, and
indeed, their existence seems almost necces-
sary. From the foundation of the govern
mentt to the present time there have always
been two great political factions-one seeking
to preserve the rights of the States from the
encroachments of the Federal government,
and the other endeavoring to grant further
powers to the central system. The same
issues exist to-day for the Republican party
corresponds more nearly to the old Federal
party, and the Democratic party is nearly
related in its principles to the Republican
party of the days of Jefferson.
Senator Hill, in many respects, does not
appear to clearly comprehend the nature of
our political system, for his ideas would, if
carried out, be utterly subvcrsive of the State
Rights doctrine-a doctrine which is the very
foundation of our Republican form of govern
ment He says that any attempt to defeat
the count for Garfield will be avertcd by the
South that it will not countenance the pro-
posed agitation in New York for that pur-
pose. That it is essential to the peace and
prosperity of the whole country that the in
coming administration may be successful
one, none will deny, and 1T can hardly prove q
success unless it has in view the well being OF
the whole country.
There are some things in Senator Hills let
ter which will scarcely be controverted by
any one but upon the whole it would have
been better lift had never been written.-
Whatever may have been its object, it has
subjected him to severe ccnsure in some
quarters, and created the impression that he
desires to curry favor with the newly elected
President.
