The power and persuasion of the

There is little TO be hoped for in "cre-
ating healthy public opinion' as
long as the pulpits, presses and schools
of the country and church people main
tain their past and, with some excep-
tions, their present silence, ambiguity
or inconsistency(-hardly know how to
define the position-) the relation of
war with all its incipiences to the re-
ligion of "peace on earth and good will
toward men,"
Let the supporting friends of Arbi-
tration, Peace Societies, and all Chris

very God of peace for what has been
achieved in the interests of His King

take courage.

about with deadly weapons in their

Persons who have neither sufficient
religion nor courage to go unarmed
should either carry their weapons Wis

the meantime prayerfully read the
Christian Scriptures.

Dedication.

The new Lutheran church-St.
Paul's-on the corner of Bull and
Banding Streets, Columbia, E. A.
Wingard, Pastor, was formally dedi-
Gated last Sabbath. The ceremony OF
formal dedication, by Rev. G.. w. Hol-
land, D. D., President of Newberry
College, was appropriate and impress
sive. Thesermon by Rev. A. G. Voigt,
Professor in Newberry College, was
both doctrinal and experimental
sound in both.
The building is handsome, well ar
ranged for religious services, and was
filled with interested worshippers.
We saw but one vacant seat, though
there may have been few more.
Ina semi-circle over the pulpit were
these words-Glory to God in the
Highest. On reading the inscription
we silently prayed that all sermons
that may be preached in that pulpit
may accord with that inscription and
also with the remaining words of the
angels song-and on earth peace,
good a0iU toa0ard men.
May the grace of the Lord Jesus
Christ, and the love Of God, and the
communion of the Holy Ghost ever be
with the worshippers in that house.

Extracts from Christian NeighbOr
A Troublesome Inheritance.


Prominent among other evils follow
ing the war the people of the United
States have had entailed upon them
q troublesome inheritance-the "pis-
tol." As the years, since the war, pass
by, the trouble has not diminished,
but rather increased. This hip-pocket
representative of deadly weapons IS
generally invisible until wanted, then
it is at hand and is as obedient to the
will of it's owner in the "time Of peace"
as it was in the time Of war-just as
ready to kill now as then.
Along with this Inheritance is an
other, viz: Hearts and hands to have
and to use the pistol in killing men
now as then, the difference being that
now a man shoots another at his own
instance, whereas in the war he shot
men in obedience to the command OF
another-the pistol passive in either
case.
But for the kill in the heart and by
the hand the pistol would be hurtless
cannot say without temptation, for
the possession and bare sight of the
weapon may suggest to the "carnal'
in d man the thought of just handling
it, putting it in his pocket and simply
taking it along, saying to oneself, II
don't know but what somebody might
attack me and try to kill me, at all
events it will do no harm to be pre-
pared" So another man thinks and
acts, and another, and SO on until in
an average community possibly every
fourth or fifth man-if not second or
third man-has loaded pistol in his
pocket when he goes out from home to
a gathering.
What can be done to divorce the pis-

The Judicial Convention at Seneca last

election is to take place in August. The
majority plan is to govern, and If no candi-

the two candidates receiving the highest
number OF votes will run the race second
time. The primary plan of elections seems
to be gaining grounds, and we believe
wherever adopted, has given satisfaction to
