Rev. Hannah Pratt in Granite Hall

Granite Hall was filled Sunday afternoon
to listen to the Rev. Hannah T. Pratt. Be
fore the sermon appropriate music was sung.
Among the pieces was Duet by the Misses
Cross, which was beautifully and touchingly
rendered; also an affecting song "Along the
river of time we glide Miss Pratt announced
that she would again preach the Word in the
Hall next Sabbath. Also that seekers of
Christ were coming to her home daily to
learn the way to Christ, and to receive help
in the divine way. That, as her parents had
decided to make Augusta their home, they
were in the act of moving to another house,
and she would be found after Tuesday at
No. so Chapel street. The discourse was
suited to all classes Frequently the audi
ence was moved to tears or provoked to
smiles, and gave close attention through
through the length of the sermon. The text
was from Fec. IL ;l-"Remember now thy
Creator in the days of thy youth" ETC.
Some may think that religion is good for
them who are older, but it is good for the
young to escape the marks and rusts of sin
which must affect this life if neglected to a
late day to put off to the last thing in life
giving themselves to God is like one who
gives an apple to a friend, but first taking off
a bite, and then another and another, till only
the core is left. SO many indulge the thought
of finally holding up just the little core of
life left for God to take. But there are
many who do not arrive to senior life Sta
tiStics showing that one-half of mankind goes
out of this life before seventeen years of age.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of
thy youth" secondly, because these are the
days when the heart is easily impressed to be
moulded to symmetrical christian character
and adapting this life naturally to the re-
quirements of Heaven and the true missions
of this life.

the revenue was sufficient, a new tariff
was adopted with higher duties In
order 10 extend the benefits of protec

support of President Monroe, Jackson
and John Quincy Adams.
In 1898, owing TO the demands of
south Carolina, then in almost open
rebellion, revised tariff law was
passed lowering the duties about 20I
per cent.
In 1910 this "tariff revisionn had 80
