"The incident in the life of DR.. Grier,
when wounded prisoner, and Colonel
Simonton's kind treatment as noticed
in recent issue of The Presbyterian,
is going the rounds of the papers. The
clipping as originally sent US contain
ed errors. We struck out some of the
sentences and corrected the errors.
The papers quoting this change word
or two of our Introductory sentences
and put in the piece as matter dis
covered by them. You are welcome
to it, gentlemen, if you couldn't find it
in your heart to tell where you got it.
We would like for you to tell US in
what Pennsylvania paper you discov-
cred it ?" In our defense, we beg to
say that we overlooked the clipping as
originally published in the Presbyteri-
an, and took it from a daily exchange
which we failed to credit for the reas-
on that We did not believe the daily
was entitled to credit.
Rev. Oliver johnson In Washington.
The Washington papers have exten-
ded notices of sermons that were
preached by Rev. Oliver Johnson, pas
tor of Neely's Creek church, in Wash
ington last Sunday. The following is
from the Washington Post of Monday:
Rev. Oliver Johnson, of Leslie, S. c.,
preached yesterday both morning and
evening at the Central Presbyterian
church. "Christian Help and Sympa-
thy" was the theme of the morning
sermon, founded on Christ's answer to
the disciples, who asked, concerning
the man blind from his birth, whether
he or bis parents had sinned that the
man was afflicted with blindness"
John tx, 8: "Neither hath this man
sinned, nor his parents; but that the
works of God should be made manifest
in him." Rev. Mr.. johnson said:
"Christ cured the blind man, who was
enabled to 60 his way seeing. The
help thus kindly extended to blind
beggar was the work of God made
manifest in this instance. The trend
of the discourse was that the calami-
ties and misfortunes seen in the life
should not be the occasion for curious
questions and harsh criticism but op.
portunities for showing sympathy and
the helping hand" The subject of
the sermon in the evening was "After-
ward" from the text, "Bread of deceit
is sweet to a man; but afterward, his
mouth shall be filled with gravel"
The sermon set forth the certainty with
which punishment followed indulgence
in sin. Many pictures were taken in
vivid colors from the Bible to illustrate
the scenes of suffering that had follow
ed the sin. For instance, after the
adultery-David; after the drunk
Belshazzar; after the dance-Herod;
after the goddess life of pleasure and
self.indulgence-the rich man in the
parable"
