aged 81 years.
Mr.. Devlin made fine record as soldier
in the Confederate war. He came home pen

money. He saved IL and was in comfortable
circumstances for many years before his
death.
AS citizen he was public spirited. At one
he would have built railroad from Due

agement. When the Abbeville cotton mill
was protected he subscribed literally to the
capital stock. Later, he was largely instru-
mental In building the public school at Due
West. He gave literally to church purposes,
and was scrupnousy csreiul TO pay his debls
Late In life he moved 10 Due West because
OF the educational advantages which that
town offered. He was good citizen, devot-
ed husband and father.
Mr.. Devlln had been in bad health for more
than a year, and OF late his death was not
unexpected.

DR.. E. H. Forester, pastor of the first Bap.
tist Church Of Greenwood, preached at the
Baptist Church here last Sunday evening TO
| large and attentive congregation. His ser.
ordination Of three new deacons. He said In
part in regard TO deacons as follows:
First. AS 10 the origin OF the office. 1t was
apostolic and began In the days Of The early
church.
Second AS to the design OF the office. The
Christians then lived as one family. Had all
things in common thinking Christ would
soon return. and in the daily distribution OF
rations some of the Greecian widows were
overlooked which was unfortunate because
the Palestine Jews thought themselves better,
and OF course this made the Greek Jews sen.
sitive. The disciples had not the time to at
tend 10 this distribution, 50 appointed dea-
cons to take charge OF the temporal Things OF
the church.
The temporalities must be attended 10 keep
up the spirituality OF the church. The Green
wood ch urch got along well mostly bscs use
the deacons attended to their duties. The
office WAS permant one, as Is shown oy the
letters Of Paul thirty years Afterwards. The
Idea prevailed for several centuries that each
ch urch must have seven deacons, but now q
church had as many AS necessary. The
Greenwood Church had twelve.
IllrQ. AS 10 tno QuLleS Oh tno OlllCe. 1pe
deacons were the financial agents OF the
church. They must provide the elements for
the Lords Supper, but was the duty OF any
member TO distribute TO the congregation.
Fourth. AS 10 the qualifications OF the Of
fee. Deacons must be pious. The people
generally treated them as beggars when they
asked for contributions TO the church, and
they must therefore be patient and gentle,
Must have wisdom no as to plan to keep up
the treasury. must be Of good character. must
he grave, must be truthful, must not be q
drunkard, must not be money lover, must
be orthodox, must not be an adulterer, must
govern his own house, for q man who cannot
control his own house cannot hold office In
the church
People might say by this standard no one Is
fit to be deacon. The New Testament was q
book OF ideals. He could not lower the stan.
dard, but must set forth the Bible Ideal. The
deacon as we'll as the church member must
live as near TO II as possible.
At the conclusion OF the sermon the three
new deacons, Messrs. d. r. Mitchiner, q. T.
Tale and w. H. Morse. were ordain ed into the
deaconship by the laying on OF the hands o
| the Presbytery. After this the ordinance Of
baptism was administered 10 three candl
dates by the pastor. w. H. Nj.

Strange.

A writer In the News and Courier suggested
that the railroads run their tracks along the
water front OF the rivers, so as 10 increase
the railroad facilities. The strange part Of II
is. the News and Courier, unequivocally and
forcibIy, endorses the scheme. There Is hope
for Charleston. When Charleston ceases TO
live in the past, and when her people realize
that cir business methods must be equal to
those of other cities, the good old city will
prosper, aud all the land will be proud TO
have the sympathy and cooperation of the
city In the effort to build up the city and the
