Y. M. G. A. NOTES.
Rev. T. M. Johnson's Address-Mr.
Coulter and Miss Thomas Next
Sunday-Other Matters, &c.

Mr.. Johnson delivered very earnest
address on Rom. So. To be carnally
minded is death; but to be spiritually
minded is life and peace" He said:
In the scripture. life and death are
often put in contrast. This is the case
in the verse chosen. Carnally minded,
death; spiritually minded, life and
peace. What is it to be carnally
minded: The margin says mendlng
the flesh,' or being led by the carnal
desires and appetites. To follow these
instead of the spirit, means spiritual
death.
Whenever we see young men given
over to appetite and lust, or worldly
pleasure we may be sure that they are
dead-dead to the higher and better
things of the spirit. 1t is sad to me to
see young men lounging about the
streets during a religious service.
Truly spiritual persons lore religious
service achererer it is held. When
young men can take carriage or bicycle
rides on Sabbath during religious
service, it is sad to me, and shows that
they are carnally minded, or at least
dead to better things, Oh, how many
of our young people seem to be dead
When the Bible is read hurrledly or
neglected, and we say prayers, instead
of praying, these indicate condition OF
death.
Mr.. l.. A. Coulter will deliver an
address at the rooms Sunday 3p. M.
Miss Mary Lou Thomas will sing two
solos. Mr.. Coulter will arrive Saturday.
DR.. W. f. Hall, of New York, who

humorous to the extreme, and highly
enjoyed by those who heard him. 1t
was admitted by all that he is decidedly

who were watching the situation very
closely, the following telegram was sent
you:

ter considerable time arranged to &c,

upon that, we send them Immediately

decided upon this course the following
telegram was received $3.50.

Oh Saturday in reporting for duty and
also our action in protecting the con-
stables certainly shows that the COM
pauy had determined to obey orders.
Looking at the matter from a purely
military point Of view the action OF

into consideration the circumstances
leading up to our action your excel

Rev John Kershaw. Sumter, S. c.:
My Dear Sir My acquaintance with
your father, the late Gen. Kershaw,
and my estimate Of him 10 his large
relations to the best interests of the
people Of this State impel me-seeing
at present DO other appropriate way
to write you a few words,
My poins of view Of Gen. Kershaw
was SO different from that Of most of
those who may characterize him, that
my judgment Of him may have some
special interest for you aud his friends.
In August last, | had the honor to
meet him 10 his " house. The high
courtesy and evident respect with
which be received me touched me deep
ly aud left With me a fresh impression
of the man which would not
willingly lose. No one whom | have
known has illustrated for me more
strongly the power of characteristic
pie Observation-Disclosures without refer
ence to abilities or deeds. His abilities
we're large. his life was full of many
noble, and not a few heroic, deeds. but
one felt when marking his personality,
that the secret of the power he WELDED
lay in a high, firm, genuine, pure char
acter-a type and habit of thought,
feeling and life which would have
borne him safely through any possible
peri,s or trials.
Of the strength and soundoess of this
personal and moral outfit he gave the
final proofs aud stood the sternest
tests. He was tried by the widest
changes Of circumstances and reverses
Of fortune-chauges and reverseS which
touched every interest of his life. as
we'll as every aspect of the social and
public life which surrounded him
