MR.. BRUCE CELEBRATES.
The Fifth Anniversary of His
Past0rate in Greenvile-
Sunday Closing.

The Rev. W. P. Bruce of the Greenville
Reformed Church completed his fifth
year as pastor of the church yesterday,
and last evening he celebrated the event
by preaching an anniversary sermon. The
text was Hebrew X. "a 25. And let us
consider another to provoke unto TO love
and to good works; not forsaking the as
sembling of ourselves together. as the
manner of some is; but exhorting one an
other. and so much the more as ye see the
day approaching"
"Ail days" said Mr.. Bruce, ''are alike
to some people. They laugh at the idea
of celebrating birthday and wedding day
anniversaries and seem astouded at the
reckless extravaganza, as they call It, in
ma king appropriate gifts on those days
On July 4, If they are clerks, they stop
work simply because the order has gone
out to stop work. IL they are pro-
prietors they close up because OF the ab-
sence of customers, There are people
mean enough to down the spirit OF
breast by refusing to buy even penny's
worth of torDedos or fireerackers. These
people might just as we'll DO dead.
BREAK THE MoNOT0NY.
II esteem those who break the
mouotony of every day life by celebrating
Washington's birthday. st. Patrick's
day, Independence day, and, above all,
Christmas day, and am proud TO be able
to celebrate today as the ffthanniversary
of my ordination as minister and the fifth
anniversary of my installation as pastor
of this church.
81 cannot let this day pass without a
rededication of myself TO Gods service,
and hope you will celebrate the day by
making at least TWO good resolutions
One good resolution is to resolve that
you will attend church as regularly as
possible. If you have friends visit you on
the Sabbath invite them to come with
you.
PRETTY HARD LINES.
Another good resolution is to resolve
that you will aid tine merchants of this
city in their Sunday closing movement.

SCUDDER ON SALOONS.
He Sees the Mote in q Democratic
Eve But Not the Beam in
Colonel Wanser's.

That the Rev. DR.. Scudder is a dyed in
the wool partisan Republican no one cares
to deny after his utterances last night.
DR.. Scudder had announced that he
would talk about "Rainsford's Saloons"
and the church WIS well filled. The text
was Woe unto him that giveth his neigh
Dor drink"
MIR. Scudder's Introductory remarks
were to the effect that he believed in out
and out prohibition, but he was satisfied
that prohibition was an impossibility in
this county. "Of course, if men are
bound to get whiskey." said he, they
will get it saloon or no saloon. They will
drink Gland ndestineiy and smuggle in their
with the obliteration of the open saloon,
the temptations of the rising generation
are greatly reduced. believe in prohi-
bition, and if the odds were not so fear
fully against us in this town, If we could
accomplish anything on this line here in
1syssy yo.s CITY onv for other one tiaEe Ts9a
But if we cannot induce the
majority of the people TO suppress the
saloon the next best thing is to persuade
them to repress it as far as possible. In
other words If you cannot secure prohibi-
ton work for stiff high license. Tax
the saloon as high you can and make 1t
penitentiaries, the police force and courts
of justice, the poor houses and lunatic
asylum and other institutions which are
so largely filled with the victims Of in
temperance"
Mr.. Scudder cited the cases of the sa-
looms in Minneapolis where the license
fee was 81, 900. and he believed that the
license fee in Jersey City ought to be
81, 900 instead Of $3.50. Then Mr.. Scudder
attacked Police Superin sendent Smith
aud the Police Department, but in doing
so he got in quiet little boom for Mayor
Wanser which was not relished by some
members of the congregation who are of
the belief that Mayor Wanser is weak
kneed in not fulfilling his pledges re-
garding Sunday closing.
If Captain John Graham were Super.
intendent," said he, II would guarantee
that the SALOONS would be closed on Sun
day front doors and side doors alike. The
juvenile procession Of growler workers
would halt and disband."
Mr.. Scudder scored the Rainsford
saloon. He said that the proposition to
introduce wine and beer into peoples
palsces was the acme of folly. He said
said that DR.. Rainsford had Mortified the
land, and written the epitaph of his
popularity.
Mr.. Scudder concluded follows:-
I'VE have saloons enough in this couu-
try. and do not want ministers to start
any more of them. A man can be
switched off toward perdltion in a church
saloon as well as in a common lager beer
saloon. Both supply the same alcoholic
ingredient tnaJ does the mischief. l
see one good arising from this discussion.
1t will awaken the philantrophe people of
Americs to the need of proper substitutes
for the saloon"
