THE YEMxssEE; A ROMANCE OF

CAROLINA.

HE 1EMASSEE; a RCMANCE W
CAROLINA.
This is an American romance, the lead
ang events OF which are strictly true. The
Yemassee are a powerf and gallant race
of Indians, dwelling, va = their tributary
tribes, at the time of the action, In South
Carolina. Their hunting grounds are
gradually encroached upon by the English
colonists, who, by purchases, seizures and
intrigues, finally change the feeling of
friendship, with which their 1vent was
greeted, into fear, and finally INTO savage
revolt. 1t is during this period OF war
fare (the early part of the eighteenth
century, that the scene of the romance
is laid. Mingled with the description of
the life of the primitive red maA IS a
stirring account of the struggles o. the
early colonists. The romance eliminates
In realistic account of the attack by the
Yemassee, in conjunction with neighbor-
ing tribes and Spanish allies, upon q
small band of colonists, who after
fierce conflict finally defeat them. Inter
woven with the scenes of savage cruelty,
Spanish intrigue and colonial hardship, iS
the love story of pretty Bess Matthews,
daughter of the pastor, and Gabriel Har-
rison, the savior of the little banG, who
later, as Charles Craven, governor ard
Lord Palatine of Carolina, claims her
hand. II the narrative seems often eX-
travagant in its multiplicity Of adven-
cures, halr-breadth escapes, thrlIhhg Gil
makes and recurrent dangers, 1t IS to be
remembered that it depicts time when
adventure was the rule and routine the
exception; when death lurked at every
threshold, and life was but a daily OK
emplification of the Survival ot the

Some of the principal characters are
Sanutee, chief of the Yemassee; Mattwan,
his wife; Occohestoga, his son, slain for

LESSONS OF THE DAY.


The International Sunday school lesson
for Jan. 20 is found In John xii, 20-23. The
memory verses are 80 and SO. The golden
text Is verse 81. This was the time Of
the Passover In Jerusalem and many
strangers were In the city, some of which
had heard Of Jesus and they sought him
out. Verify, verify, / say unto YOU ex-

AS Israel's Messiah He is rejected and
about to be crucified, but God will give
Him glory and a seat at His own right
hand until His enemies be made His
footstool.
The Christian Endeavor lesson for the
week beginning Jan. 20, IS found in He
preWs XXI, 4; and Matthew XVI 10, the
topic being Abiding Influence" A great
poet said: ''The evil that men do lives
after them. The good is oft Inferred
with their bones" This is not always the
case. Good has an abiding influence as
well as evil, and the good that men do
often lives after them, and they being
dead yet speak. The fact that both good
and evil remain after We are gone and
exert an influence, and this fact only
makes 1T the more important that our
lives should speak for good instead OF
evil How long and how far-reaching
the influence of a life is to be no one
can know. The abiding influence Of
Abefs faith and of Marthas act, as
shown in the texts, will last with Chris

More enduring than monuments of stone
or bronze is the simple story Of great
truth or noble deed. Abel offered sacri-
tice in confession of sin. He IS long
years dead. His grave is unmarked
and unknown. OF all his other deeds we
know nothing. This one thing the world
