Helena Her;,lGiuss and News Notes.
Rev. y. J. Bowers preached in the
afternoon OF Sunday, the 23d ult., at
Union Chapel, from the memorable
words Of the Saviour: "Sufter little
children to come unto Ne, and forbid
them not, for nf such is the kingdom
of heaven" We did not have the
pleasure, on that occasion, Of hearing
this gifted young Lutheran minister
who dwells in our midst, but We are
told that his sermon was forceful, per-
suasive and convincing: Showing the
Importance Of that careful education-
moral and religious, by which the chill
dren shall be aided and not hindered
in the growth of a consecrated life. A
beautiful and satisfying home life with
its amenities, reciprocal courtesies and
wholesome restraints; it's patient and
consistent lessons of self-denial, sympa-
thy and love; its sincerity, forgiveness
and reticencc; the careful reading and
training Of thought, and abundant ra
tional pleasures, are safeguards not
to be overlooked. Mr.. Bowers empha-
sized the Importance Of parental exam
pie in the matter of attendance at the
services Of the sanctuary and the Sum
day-schOol. These are among the in
tluenccs that shall keep the heart,
mind, conscience and will in the lines
of culture, discipline and duty. The
text is a living appeal for all time.
Train the youthful heart while it is
"wax to receive and marble to retain,"
SO that it may not be shattered by the
doubts and temptations Of later years.
DR.. and Mrs. Clarence Strother, of
Johnston, s. c., were on visit to DR..
S. G. Welch's family in the early part
of the week. They were accompanied
by their two bright little children.
DR.. Strother had just come from a
visit to the Northern hospitals and re-
turns home by the way of Helena in
order that he might see his relatives.
County Chairman w. H. Hunt, jr.,
calls on the presidents and secretaries
of the Democratic clubs Of the county

addresses and the name Of the precinct
at which each club votes.
The "singing circle" will meet at Mrs.
Kate Coates tonight, at o'clock.
Mrs. Hattie Sledge is on a visit to
friends at Bolton, S. C.
We are pleased to see that Mr. Wal
lace. of the Observer, alluded in his last
issue to the heroic death of Calvin Gro
zier, the gallant young Texan, who
gave his life in defence Of woman, and
that he promises to refer to it again. It
is thrilling story, and is doubtless re-
membered by all, IS it has been told by
the writer of this paragraph and others
on more than one OCCASION in the years
that have passed since the fateful night
in the early summer Of 1865. We have
never ceased to think, and have so
urged, that the ladies owe it to them
selves to see that monument be raised
over the unmarked grave of the martyr
who gave his young lifea willing sacri-
flee for them. In speaking to friend
some years ago about this sublime in
cident, he tod the writer to solicit
contributions and he would head the
list with liberal amount and join
heartily in the further prosecution of
the work, if necessary. But q spell of
illness shattered the health of the writer
for long time and, before he had fully
recovered. this generous friend had him
self passed away, so nothing was done
to This end. Since then he has hoped
that the thought would suggest itself
20 the ladies to perpetuate the name
of the noble youth in monument
to his rlemnry.
