S. G. DEMOCRATS on CLEVE-
LAND.

The following resolution was pass.
ed by the S. c. Democ. attic Conven-
tea last week:
We assert that Grover Cleveland
does not represent the principles Of
Democracy as taught by our for
etlthers and as we understand
them.
We therefore enter protest against
the nomination OF Grover Cleve-
land or any other candidate known
or believed 90 be selected in the
interest and al the dictation of Wall
street, but we demand for our
standard. bearer a man of the people,
for the people, with the people, and
who will serve the people and not
any class or faction.
We shall look upon the nomination
Of cX-President Cleveland, if forced
upon the party at the Chicago
convention, as prostitution of the
principles Of Democracy, as re-
pndiatiOn Of tie demands of the
Farmers Alliance, which emb0ly
the true principles Of Democracy,
and surrender Of the rights of the
people to the finanriu! kings of The

Who Was to Blame

A half distracted housewife who had
sought for three or four weeks without
success to find a girl to do general house
work, applied with much hopefulness to
church missionary society. She had
visited intelligence offices and had used
the advertising columns of the news
papers in vain. One day friend, who
was interested in charitable works. said
to the disheartened housewife: "Why
don't you inquire among the local mis-
sionary workers of your church? Surely
they must know of worthy women who
desire employment. The suggestion
was acted upon at once and with imme-
date promise of success. The chairman
of a church relief society assured the
housewife that she knew of "just the
right woman"-a poor, deserving and
pious person.
An interview was soon brought about,
and "the poor, deserving and pious per-
son. impressed the housewife SO favora-
bly, that she made tender of employ
ment on the spot. 'tBut must have an
understanding about my days and nights
OFT" said the poor woman. 81 cannot
work on Sundays. / have my Bible
class Wednesday evening, my sewing
circle Thursday afternoon, and my
prayer meeting on Friday night. OF
course l cannot give those up." The
tender of employment was Withdrawn.
and the housewife is still looking for q
girl.-New York Times.

The Pew System in Our Churcpes

The history of religious worship and
of religious buildings in America is as
exceptional as it is inconsistent. | pre-
sumo it would be safe to say that there
Is no other land in Christendom where
SO many places of religious worship bear
witness to the indexible supremacy of
the spirit of caste, for what is the spirit
OF caste if it be not the spirit that in
these conditions and relationships which,
seeming to exclude distinctions imply.
ing superiority or inferiority of persons
insists upon affirming them?
And is there any other institution
which, liz the face of the plain teach
ings of the religion of Jesus Christ-as
where In the epistle of st. James it ia
said: "My brethren have not the faith
OF our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of
Glory, with respect of persons. For if
there come unto your assembly a man
with gold ring in goodly apparel, and
there come in also a poor man in vile
raiment; and We have respect to him
that weareth the gay clothing and saw
unto him, Sit thou here in a good place.
and say to the poor, Stand thou there,
or sit here under my footstool. Are We
not then partial in yourselves and are
become Judges of evil thoughts?" Il. O..

Is there, l ask, any other institution
which, in the face of the plain teaching
OF its Founder, departs so radically and
habltually from that teaching as thus
given as does the modern pewed church,

The present machinery of Protestant.
organic church life in our great cities
IS on trial for capital offense. It has
| been accused of failure-not only in
New York, but in many of our other
great centers of civic life. The problem
OF the modern city is one of tremendous
magnitude. 1t is a new problem too,
our fathers knew nothing of it prac-
tlcally. The growth of the city has
oeen most wonderful within the past
twenty years.
IL Is useless to try to disguise the fact
that IN our. cities organic church life in
the Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian.
congregational and allied denomina-
tions has not only not kept pace with
tAe increase Of population, but has posi-
lively retrograded; and this, too, in the
race OF general progress of the cause
OF christianity in the nation and tho
World which is little short of miracu-
ious. For the past twenty years has
witnessed the most wonderful move
mentS OF militant Christianity in the
history Of the world. The triumnb of
Tie cause OF Christ is as certain as that
Inc world stands. The only question
Fhat deeply interests us is, Are we in the
procession? If not, why not? Is II not
time we knew just where we stand in
our great cities?
What are the Baptist doing in New
York today, for example? We have
many things with which we might con.
graduate ourselves in our little indi.
Vldua! church. During the past year we
nave been more prosperous than any
year OF the three of the present pas
torate. The congregations have bee,
larger, the spirit of zeal and unity
stronger. We are stronger financially
and III every way stronger than ever be-
gore In our history. We have deyel-
1ped IN the past year remarkably eff.
clent working organizations within the
church.
Our Young Peoples society averages
l*2 attendance each meeting. and is do.
ing strong and vigorous missionary
work. The Kings Daughters in the mast
year nave been efficiently organized and
have expended hundreds of dollars. ex.
tending the work of charity and aggres-
slve Christianity. The beautiful array
OF ho*ers today bears ample testimony
TO their zeal and strength. During the
past three years which the present pas
toral relationship covers, our little
church has grown from 347 members tn
oO4. We have baptized and received nv
Christian experience 1874; by letter. 1e3
we reel that the outlook is hopeful, but
we nave no time for self congratulation. |
even though we may feel that somethino |
has been done.
