century had it's birth in England in the
closing years of the sixteenth century.
The American republic was an evOlu'
ton rather than a revolution. 1t was
evolved out of those principles of In
dividual worth and liberty that men
gained from the reading of the Bible
in the days of Queen Elizabeth.
The historian is true to fact and re-
veals a wide-reaching principle. when
he throws on the Bible the responsible
ity of that social and political revival
we call the revolution. 1t was revival
of religion taking the form of improved
social and political conditions for the
people AS Macauley says, 1.-THE Puri-
tans espoused the cause of civil liberty
because it was the cause of religion"
The supreme aim of the Puritan was
to get Gods will done ION earth as IL
is in heaven" He carried the religion
of the Bible into practical politics. AS
CARLYLE in his life of Cromwell says.
Our ancient Puritan reformers were,
as all reformers that will ever benefit
much this world are always, inspired
by heavenly purpose. To see Gods
own law as it stood in the Holy Writ
ten Book, made good in this world; to
see this was a thing worth living for
and dying for The Puritan believed,
as Milton, who was one of them, taught.
There is no politics like those the
Scriptures teach" He was therefore a
politician because he was saint. 1t
was because he believed so tremendous
ly in God, that he believed so tremen'
dously in man. His theocracy was at
the root of his democracy. The welfare
of the individual soul, here and here
after, was the great truth of divine
revelation, that the Puritan learned
from the pages of the sacred scriptures.
This truth in heart and brain worked
itself out in practical politics. It shaped
the policy of the State. 1t created a
free commonwealth which aimed to
give to all men without distinction the
rights and liberties that belonged to
men made in the image of God and re-
deemed by the Son of God.
It is common. in certain quarters, to
sneer at the Puritan. Legislation that
aims at purer morals and cleaner laws.
is dubbed ..puritanic." But we do we'll

this republic and of the best things in

Mr. D. J. McKiever died at his home 10 this
city at 5. 10 a. m. Monday, after an illness OF
several weeks, of brights disease, aged 43
years The deceased was native OF Char
lesion and resident of that city until his
removal to Sumter about Mira years ago, st
which time he aud his brother, Mr.. Joha W.
McKiever, came to this city and established
themselves in business as contractors and
builders. They were expert and conscientious
workmea and were successful from the start
ep;oyiny the entire confidence and esteem OF
the community and the friendship OF all who
knew them well.
In speaking of one of the brothers, it is
difficult to mention either without thinking
and scesking of both, for the brothesiy
sHection as we'll as the business association
was 90 close aud intimate thst only the cold
hand of death could separate one from the
other.
Danie.J. McKe!ver was worthy builder
for be laid firm and deep the foundations OF a
truiy mauly character and bis life, though
cut short 10 i,s prime, was such that ne Will
be sadly missed, and his family, in their grief,
have the consolation tnat he lived as man
should, and met death without aa unmanly
fear. To his widow and orphaned son and
other members of the bereaved family our
sympathy is extended.
The funeral services were beld in st.
