: Learned Sermons.

-
EDITOR INTELL1GENoER would like
to say few words on the subject of some
holy and learned sermons that have been
delivered in the pulpit of the Presbyterian
Church, in Pendleton, during the last
month. The first Of the series was dis
course on the parable of "the laborers in
the vineyard" and contained some strik-
ing and beautiful aphorisms. "Earth, !"
said the preacher, lis moral graveyard
given up to tho children Of sin, who will
finally people the realms of torment, for
there will be no friends in hell-only
foes" A very beautiful thought was the
following: ITO the christian every hour
brings its reward, every pleasure is duty
and every sorrow victory"
The second sermon was mastery
treatise on the subject of missions" and
what made it especially interesting was
the fact that the speaker spoke Eek Cathe'
dra" of some parts of the "Orjent, nav
ing visited them in early life.
The third sermon was on "the cruelty OF
the children of men," I did not hear 1t,
but am told it contained most realistic
description of the mutiny and massacre OF
Cawnpore
This servant Of the Lord, crowned with
the apeace that passeth understanding" "
spends his days in an ideal home amid
the stiffness of the Piedmont hills, freely
dispensing good deeds and wise counsel |;
and the silver hairs that encircle his brow
are only the shadows OF the white lilies
that bloom in the gardens of God.

The transition from long, lingering and
painful sickness to robust health marks an
epoch in the life of the individual. Such
a remarkable event is treasured in the
memory and the agency whereby the good
health has been attained is gratefully
blessed. Hence it is that so much is heard
in praise of Electric Bitters. So many feel
they owe their restoration to health, to the
use of the great Alternative and Tonic. If
you are troubled with any disease of Kid

standing you will surely find relief by use

Last Friday afternoon the closing eyor-
cises of High Shoals School, under the
efficient control and management of Miss
Lizzie Anderson, took place. Our Mr..
Wardlaw was present by invitation from
Miss Lizzie. The programme was care
fully selected, well prepared and admira.
bly, carried out. The patrons of this
school have just reason to be proud of
their teacher, aud should, if possible,
keep her. The exercises last Friday re-:
tlected credit on the teacher, and showed
that she had done well her work. They
also illustrated the fact that the children
bad not been there in vain. Tho children
seemed to understand what they were
doing, and to take a worthy. pride in do
ing It well. This is not large school,
but it is good school. The wand drill,
the gem selections, speeches, recitations
and dialogues all show that Miss Lizzie
Anderson is a good trainer. AT the con-
clusion of the regular programme, Mr.
Wardlaw was called on and responded in
short talk It is real pleasure to see
such successful work being done in our
Schools.

under the Military system in South Cnr-
olina before the war. With the excep-
ton Of the first year, he served through
the late civil war, and after the surrender
returned home with an impaired consti-
tuition. He was one OF the leading men
in his community in everything that was
for the public good and benefit, and really
gave much OF his time to matters and
things affecting the progress OF his County
and community. He was among the first,
if not the first man in this part OF the State,
to advocate in the press and otherwise
the "Stock Law" which was the grandest
step in agricultural progress that has been
made in q century. The deceased was q
