st. Luke's New Rector.

Rev. Wilmot S. Holmes, who has
taken charge of ST. Luie's Episcopal
church in connection with the Laurens
parish, and who will hold services at
each place alternately, was at St. Luke's
last Sunday morning and afternoon.
He discourscd in the morning upon
the sacrificial principle, so clearly set
forth by the apostle when he declares
that our bodies temples for the in
dwelling OF the Holy Ghost) are living
sacrifices, and to be altogether accept
able unto the Lord, must, with the soul
and the mind, be entirely consccratcd
and dedicated to Gods service.
In view of the complete satisfaction
the Son Of God made fer man by the
oblation and sacrifice of his precious
and sinless body, the wiscst, the noblest,
the bravest and the best of men and
women have surrendered themselves in
sanity service to Him in all ages Of
the Church.
The sermon was rcplete with salu-
tary thought all along the line of
the argument.
In the afternoon he spoke interest
ingly concerning the important matter
of burdcn-bcaring. We are cnjoined
by the Apostle to bear one the others
burden and thereby fulfill the law of
love. We can only bear each others
burden by casting our own burdens
upon the Lord. There are many ways
by which We may tighten the burdens
of othcrs-weighing SO heavily upon
brow and heartily prayer, by tactful
sympathy and by material hclpfulncss.
There are some burdens that are in
tolerable-the burdens of sin and duty
omitted. The grace of God, through
penitcntial prayer and confession, can
make the sins that arc crimson, whittier
than snow.
From the burden of personal respon-
s.bility we can never hope to free our
sell, but the burden Of anticipated
trc able is, at once, u distrust of the
Fathers care and watchfu!ness.

Pension Boards.

The confederate veterans in the var
ious townships were called to meet on
last Saturday and elect three of their
number Il township board of pensioners.
We are sorry we have not the result
of these meetings for publication. At
this writing we have heard only from
No. l. In this township the meeting
was held in the court house and NJ. A.
Carlisle, S. G. Wclch and j. Cal Necl
were elected on the township board.
These township boards shall elect one
of their number chairman and the sew
eral township chairmen are cnlled to
meet at the court house on Saturday Of
this week, April II.
If any Of the townships failed to meet
and organize last Saturday they should
meet this week SO as to be represented
in the meeting OH Saturday and be
present at the election a county cx-
amining board of pensions.
Rules and regulations governing the
pension boards may be had by calling
on Auditor Cromer. The Herald and

Prosperity is on Il boom. There arc

and the dispensary will win.
No church member can cOnscicn-

violating his VOWS. If he docs he should
be ccnsurcd and udmonishcd by his
church officials.
We need neither liquor nor Sunday

town who sign for it to be delivered arc
responsible for the postmustcr's not
