SOCIAL RELATION IN CHURCH.
"R. @. A." Thinks the Various Classes
Do Not MIX and Mingle Enough.


EDITOR DAILY HERALD: Will YOU
permit one who is not church men,
Der, but who attends religious services
very regularly, to give expression to
what he thinks he observes in regard to
social relations, as they exist in the
different congregations in Columbia?
With the possible exception of one.
every congregation of this town is
divided into three classes, socially.
First, there is what is known as the
society element" in the church. Now,
this class in their relig Gus duties, work
IN perfect harmony with the other two.
But outside of these duties there seems
to be discord in their relation with the
other two; perhaps not always notice.
able' but always felt. A true friend
ship and pleasant social understanding
between members of the same congrega
ton are not only right, but they are con-
sldered a strong inducement for others
to join
There is no reason to doubt but what
these people are just as sincere in their
worship as the others, but it seems to
me they exercise poor judgement in
carrying out this social feature of their
religion. They do not feel it incumbent
upon themselves that they should visit,
IN a purely social way, what we might
call the great middle class land by
the way, they are not only the bone and
slnew OF the nation, politically, but of
the church as welD, at all. But thev
will set aside certain day to call upon
the poor of the church. Now, right
here is where they use little discretion
in the manner of their visiting. They
almost always, by their air of CON
descension, and patronizing way,
humiliate these poor members, and
succeed in leaving the impression that
they simply cal ed as duty they owed
the church, and of course it is not
necessary for you to return it. And if
they should happen to return this call,
they would be disagreeably !. surprised.
Instead Of worrying them with why
DIDN'T little Willie and Mary come to
Sunday school last Sunday" and "Of
course you're coming next Sunday"
they should use their best effort to make
their visit as pleasant as possible, and
adopt the commonsense idea of friend
ship, which means II like you because
~ ~ yOus duu L llho W Do WIFI you
because it's pleasant to be with you.
Now this middle class have their
faults, and pretty serious ones, too.
This part of the congregation forever
have grievance at what they call the
"stuck-up' contingent, ana their social
relations extend no further with this
class than that 81 am as good as he or
she isl And they are even less negl-
gent in visiting the poor, because they
are so mortally afraid that the society
element will classify them together.
Exclusiveness in social circles outside
of the church is not to be- so heartily
condemned, because great many peo-
pie think that individuality is the only
thing that counts in friendship, and this
alone should be the only claim recog-
nized by their particular set. But to
the followers Of the One who said Love
one another" this spirit of social ex-
clusiveness is not only wrong, but is det-
to the best in terest Of their
church. r, @, A,

November q, and tabulated statement
showing the vote in full, as officially an
nounced, may be foun1 elsewhere in
this paper.
The Eerald's Prenni UNI.
The official count on the Governor 5
vote was awaited with great deal OF
interest by many. on account of the
HERALD's premium furniture. The day
after the election it was thought, from
unofficial returns and estimates, that the
vote would be between $500 and 5000,
and there were only tour persons who
had guessed between these numbers On
thursday following, however, ii q IN
plete unofficial returns, us nearly as
could be obtained, showed the vote to
be 5,743, and it was then seen that the
fortunate guesser would be among the
following: Mrs. S. @. Beal,. Car er's
Creek, who guessed 5,75G; Mrs. Wooten
Moore, Columbia, 5,720: Miss Macey
Taylor, Columbia, $3.50; Edom Brown.
Carter's Creek, 5,777; eugene Loeb
ridge, Columbia, 5,73J
The official count, howcver, increased
the HERALD's unofficial returns 43
votes, making the total 5.7s6, which
gave the premium to Miss Macey
Taylor, her guess being only three votes
above the correct numuer. The increase
is accounted for by reason Of the fact
that in sending in the unofficial returns,
the vote for the Prohibition and Populist
candidates in number of districts was
so small that it was lost sight Of, while
the vote of the other candidates was
incorrectly reported in several instances:
and all these small additions put
together increased the vote 80.
1t was thought Monday afternoon
that there would be tie between Miss
Taylor and Edom Brown, one being six
above and the other six below the cor
rect number, but a small char in the
fourth district Tuesday morning made
Miss Taylor the fortunate winner. Miss
Taylor is the daughter Of Mrs. San
Taylor, VINO lives out on the Nit. Pleas
ant Pike near this city, and .here is no
one whom the HERALD would take
more pleasure in awarding the prize 10
than her. Nhen her guess was made
and recorded, il was with the usual re-
mark, she didn't expecG to get the furni.
ture, but wanted to guess just for fun.
We hope she will enjoy the fun to the
fullest.

Gives His Views
ON OUTCOME OF THE ELECTION.
He Says He Would Not Accept
the Nebraska Senatorship, Which
Rightfully Belongs to Another.

LINCOLN, Neb., Nov. 8.-W J. Bryan
tonight gave out the following state
ment concerning the elections
The result was surprise to me, and
the magnitude of the Republican vic
tory was surprise to our op oonents, as
well as to those who voted our ticket.
1t is impossible to analyze the returns
until they are more complete, but,
speaking generally, we seem to have
gained in the large cities and to have
lost in the smaller cities and in the
country
"The Republicans we're able to secure
tickets or passes for all their voters who
were away from home, and this gave
them considerable advantage. We have
no way of knowing at this time how
much money was spent in the purchase
OF votes and in colonization But while
these would account for some of the Re-
publican gains they could not account
for the widespread increase in the Re-
publican vote.
"Ihe prosperity argument was proba-
bly, the most potent one used by the Re-
publicans. They compared present con-
dltions with the panic times of 1893 to
1896, and this argument had weight
with those who did not consider the rea.
sons for the change. The appeal,
Stand by the President while the war is
on, had great deal of influence among
those who did not realize that a war
against a doctrine OF self government in
the Philippines must react upon us in
this country.
