IL MethOdism Adrift.

Mr.. Editor In recent reading oi
our church papers my attention has
been especially drawn to some com
paratively new features of church EN-.
terprises and clericslmethods. I may
as we'll confess at;aonce that I am
something of backwoodsman, hence
possibly, my reluctance to accept read
lily the innovations.
Twas born and bred a Methodist
and have always been taught, and
have believed, that the church with
Its legitimate auxiliary-the Sabbath
school was sufficient for the holy pur
poses of its organization. Up to TWEEN
ty years ago, too, the class meeting
was regular and beneficial feature in
almost all Methodist churches; today
it is rarity.
Very recent years have witnessed
the introduction of new societies as
arms of the church, but which are not,
am forced to believe, essentially part
and parcel of it. Did the provisions
of the church, aforetime, fail to reach
the youth o. the lando Did the
fathers" ig grore the needs and claims
of the constantly rising generations
Are such the reasons for the new order
of things?
Be this as it may, I, for one, cannot
believe the needs of the hour demand
all the changes and additions to be
seen nowadays throughout our Meth
odist churches. l am quite in favor
of extending all avenues of usefulness
and instruction and development for
young and old, but let it be done strict
ly within and of the church itself.
The multiplicity of societies" "
"leagues," etc., in the church organi-
zation tends, I believe, to minimize
and obscure the preaching and teach
ing of the Word, and the exercise of
kindred established offices of the mill
istry and the church. Besides, the
maintenanceiIof these adjuncts (sep-
arately) necessarily involves needless
and, in the aggregate, enormous en-
penditures of time, labor and money
in the holding of county, state and
general conventions. How much
more benefit could be derived and be
slowed by otherwise employing the
means specified can be computed by
individual readers to their own salts
faction and surprise.
The military feature now being in
troduced in certain places rs part of
the "Epworth League" curriculum
will naturally strike wonder and
shame to the minds and hearts of those
who have been led to believe that that
organization is in some wise enlisted
in the cause of the "Prince of Peace"
Although, as has been admitted, 1
am rather "backwoodsman," I will
not withhold my voice in pleading
with "the powers that be" to keep
pure and simple and effective the good
old MethoLism. Instead of adding
new, separate, societies, incorporate
all needed additions in the old body,
and revive the class meetings, revive
them vigorously, and keep the fires Of
old Methodism burning brightly with
living fire. b. w.

We hear the statement frequently. and have
noticed In many Of our Stale exchanges the
assertion, that constable has the right to
enter private dwellings and search for liquor
even in the most private women's apartments
without warrant. This is told by many In
Incorrect. The dispensary law is no pet
scheme OF ours, but We believe In giving the
devil his dues. Here is a copy Of portion OF

Of B.. r. Tilipan TO those officers who are

plies only 10 places Of business and public

AbbcvilIe Triumphed Over Adverse
Circumstances.
GIeenville News.

The Abbeville Press and Banner prints a
tn rilling account OF the reception given at
Abbeville To the Albany, N. Y, Burgesses'
corps. According to 1.-THE Press and Banner,
the festival lasted seven hours, OF which time
four hours and forty minutes was spent In
waiting at the train, twenty minutes In
marching and two hours In speeches, the re-
mainder. being devoted TO eating and. pre-.
sumably, drinking. 1t is evident, however,
that Abbevile hospitality triumphed over
all The adverse circumstances OF a delayed
train and pouring rain and that the visi.
tors were made to enjoy themselves and
sent on their way with delightful memories
OF fine com munity.
We observe that tie Rev. Mr.. Pressly thiuks

ing of the banquet Sunday morning and
against the use OF wine. No doubt Mr.; Press
~ acted as he thinks right, but 1t is hard To
see how the Abbevile people could have de-
cIined to receive and entertain their guests
because the delay OF a train postponed until
after twelve O'Clock Sunday morning an ar.
rival which was expected and prepared for at
eight O'Clock Saturday evening.

1.-THE END.1
About Cpals.

The prejudice against opals appears
to be disappearing. Anyhow they are
popular. There are several varieties
of opal and therefore several degrees
of merit. The precious. or noble, or
oriental opal is the supreme. This has
all the colors, and when these colors
are broken into spangles it is then
called the harlequin opal Then comes
the fire opal or girasol, with hyacinth
red and yellow rehection-the former
comes from Hungary, the latter from
Mexico. The common, or semi-opals,
are non-opalescent- The hydrophane,
or oculus mundi, is non-transparent,
but becomes SO by immersion in water
or any transparent fluid. The cacha-
long is nearly opaque and of a blush
white color. The hyalite is colorless,
pe1lucid and whioe. The opal jasper
or wood opal is the petrifaction OF
wood, opalescent, but without the
coloring which makes the mobile" gem
so precious
