said of it. 1t has splendid list

contains reports from thirteen out
of the twenty-one pastors of the
district: Of cr,ursGsrch i paper

Iwould advise all the pastors
and official pemberS Of the New

NO STATE BALL:

The subject of the usual capitol
ball has been presented to the pub
lie. We shall not speak of the
right or wrong of dancing. Ages
ago the church condemned the
public dance and time has not
altered that decree. But what
impresses us rs improper and in
consistent is the estate Ball. We
are living under a Christian gov
ernment both national and state.
In the convention to form the
Union thers arose local or state
interests which prevented it;
when no argument cculd be reached
Bennie Franklin moved that the
convention adjourn to meet in the
slftsrss,cn and that the tirst-i#ur
be spent in prayer. Upon that
hour of prayer our nation stands.
When. the population of James
town, Va, was reduced by famine
from 500 20 60 within Il few weeks !;
it was Christianity pure and sim
pie which saved it. If then this is
Il Christian state, why should the
states name be connected with
that which an overwhelming ma
jurity Of Christians condemn. ITO
honor the Legislature" What
part of it? Most assuredly Il ma
jority of it would not regard it an
honor to them. Let all public
honurs 3e extended to the legisla-
ture. in the true character they
represent and i'll Il way that the
majority Of those who elected them
would approve. Charleston is a
city of churches and there is IL
welcome in ali of them to our law
makers. Here, they by counsel and
associationwill be strengthened for
the performance Of the responsible
duties for which they were elected.
To those who prefer the dancing
hall, opera and other places OF
worldly amusement they can DE
accommodated, but not by the
"State."
