AS onr annual day ofrejoicing approach
es, Christian people should not forget the
orphans. When the people assemble on
that day to thank Goo, let them thank him
with their substance. One of The Institu-
tions deserving of such emembranc3 is
the Thornwell Orphanage, at Clinton, s.
g. Although q Presbyterian institution,
more than half its inmates are from other
denominations, Baptists, Methodists, Lu-
therans and Episcopalians being represen-
ted. It's children are from ten different
States, mainly of course from South
Carolina and Georgia. These children
deservewell of the people. They cheer
fully labor with their hands to help
themselves, in kitchen, laundry, farm and
elsewhere. Gifts Of provisions, money,
can all be used. AS there is no endow-
ment to this Institution. it depends on the
charitable for support. Rev. VIM. p.
Jacobs is the President. Send gifts to
him, at Clinton, S. G.. There are now
nearly one hundred orphans applying to
this institution to be received. What
grand good, liberal gifts would do!
At the suggestion of several friends,
Rev. j. ". Wolling has consented to
return to Anderson and deliver lecture
on Monday evening, 26th inst, the pro-
ceeds Of which will be donated to his his.
sion in Brazil. The lecture will be deliv.
cred in the Court House, and an admis.
sion fee of Is cents will be charged. Mr.
Wolling will give an account of his voy.
age on the ocean, will tell of the coffee
plantations and the mode and manner OF
cultivating the crop, and will give q
description of the homes and customs OF
the people, and of the birds, bugs, etc.
Several days preceding thelecture, tickets
will be placed on sale at Hill Bros drug
store, and will also be in the hands of sew
eral young ladies. The lecture will be
exceedingly interesting, and those who
attend will get the worth of their money
and at the same time be helping worthy
cause. Every true Christian feels an
interest in the missionary work, and WE
hope on this occasion the Court House
will be filled to its utmost seating capaci
ty. Bear it in mind, and be sure to &C
and hear Mr.. Wolling.
The Sunday School Mass Meeting in the

The figures of each hour pointed to 6
beautiful motto. and six little boys and
six little girls represented the hours, and
as each one would appear and move The

sentiment. Rev. j. w. Wolling favored

boys and girls recited "Whst will you
