Mr.. Russell has had the Office two terms,

he will practice what he breaches and not
ask for the Office again.

reply TO "Touch me Not" will say first,
that he is somewhat unfortunate in the
selection of his "non de plume" he
should have first remembered that the
little flower whose name he assumes is
one of the most Insignificant and worth
less in Flora's kingdom, and then it is
too much like an opossum-touoh 1t and
it dies. I do not, however, hope such q
fate will overtake him In his reference to
me. He either wilfully or unwittingly
got things mixed. "Ellis" did not 'dress
up like a dude" neither did he watch in
vain, as he was not expecting his "best
girl to spend tho night at his home," and
then if he, "Touch me Not" had been as
Ellis was, hard at work, he would not,
perhaps, have put forth the effort which
appears from an inspection of the Ian
guage used in comparison with the facts
to be an attempt to excel in an eGtrava-
CANT illumination Of overdrawn idees.
One who lives in glass houses should not
throw stones. Some time ago q certain

If I am not mistaken as to the identity of
'Touch me Not" and every day he would
dress up in his "Sunday-go-to-meetings,"
and when asked where he was going,
would reply, the sheep are out OF the pas
ture and was going to drive them back.

Mr.. W. G. Branyon. of Honea Path, was

The way the Sabbath day Is desecrated
by some of our people is q disgrace to this
section. and, more than that, it dishonors
God. He has appointed the Sabbath and
commanded man to keep 1t holy. To pro
fame 1t by worldly business, amusement,
or in q other way, Is disobedience to
God. and is greatly to his dishonor. It in
sures wrath. The Sabbath ia Gods day,
BE REQUIRES it to be Get apart for Rimself

visit them with His curse. They will be
cursed in their homes. 1t is dangerous
Not unfrequently are persona called into
eternity in the very act of trsnsgression,
to appear before God, where there Ia nc
space for repentance. To profane the
Sabbath exposes a man to the loss Of hi
soul, which is an evil great beyond descrip
ton. "For what can a man give in e1
change for his soul?" A man may lost
his property, his reputation, his health
and even his life, and yet be happy, but !
he loss bills soul, he must be eternallJ
! wrstched. To profane the Sabbath, then
is a tremendous evil. II continued, It vii
| shut the soul out Of Heaven and sink !
into everlasting darkness and despair
The person who p~rofanes the Sabbath doe
much, by his example, to destroy thesoul
| of others. Ono auoh sinner destroys much

| down to the pit Of woe. Reader, "remem
Der the Sabbath day and keep it holy. I

EDITORS INTELL1eENoER: In reply to
questions sent out by the Prssbytery
concerning intemperance In the bounds
of all Churches, the Session Of the Good
Hope Presbyterian Church reported sub-
stantially as follows, (the report being
read In the presence Of g congregation OF
about five hundred persons):
We must confess that We cannot report
fsvorsbly in regard to this matter. A
government distillery and other sources
i5here .phiskey is obtained is the cause Of
much drinking in the community. Desc.
Grafton of, and card-playing on, the Sab
bath is very frequent. However, we
think the members Of this Church free
from such.
OF course, the Chief Constable must
"c~onsider" and ''ses If there Ia truth" in
the report, No doubt the infallible and
incorrieible Chief will say that the stste-
ments show the Session 'sto be a suitable
connecting link between the two disre-
putable places"
