A Prayer.
Edito!: The Manning Times:

Edito: The Manning Times:
Please reproduce enclosed clipping
in Your next issue. l am sure it will
do good. following the sermons of
Bishop Duncan last Sunday in our town.
What that great exponent Of Metho-
dism and Christian religion meant in
the preoration of his afternoon sermon
when he begged deliverance from the
coyetous, pious-looking Pilates in the
church is already explained in these
poetic rhymes:
THE POOR MANS PRAYER.
Protect me. Lord. from these thy saints. the
S;lnctimoniouS few:
Or. save me from their clutches when my mort
cages come due.
On. put me not into the hands OF these, the men
OF wee,
Who call this earth 4 vale OF tears and strive
to make II so.
Oh. guard me from the blue. noSed good who
lend at ten per cent.
And take twice five hundred lien for ninety
Shillin@S lent.
Make me instead. the debtor Of some man with
human taintS:
Al any rate. protect me. Lord. from these. Thy
m0'tern saints.
Their thoughts arc far from mortal life: they
never. never sin:
They strive TO CrlnS 10 righteousness lne very
men they skin
They never 90 Il step aStray: they never deisn
to smile.
Ther sin not. and they only aim I'd castigate the
vile.
But. oh. why should they count it best with
cold and holy arts
To rivet strong sheet iron shields around their
stony hearts:
Their ears are deaf enough. God wot, to plead
ingS and complaints,
And so pray. protect me. Lord. f-oT, these.
thy modern saints.
Oh. save me from the s:nct:tied. the TOO un-
common good,
Who tell Us what we shouldn't do and preach us
what we should:
Those saints who squeeze 4 shilling twice and
wear cheap aureoleS
viii take our children 5 bread and then attempt
to save our souls,
Give me, instead, worldly man. with some'fe
healthy stains,
That shows he has the common blood Of man
hood in his veins
And heart that SwellS enough sometimes to
overthrow ccnStraintS:
But in my need protect me. Lord. from Self-ap-
pointed saints.

The great State reunion OF
Confederate veterans for 1901
has been looked forward to. with
high anticipations for many
months. and as the time drew
near the more anxious were the
old survivors to visit the capitol
city and participate in the pleas
ures offered them. They went,
had a royal time, shook hands
with comrades they had not seen
since the surrender, talked over
the past, spun yarns, hurrahed
for Hampton. Gordon and But
ler, marched in the grand parade
and for the time being they were
lords of all they surveyed. They
came back home and every one
of them is singing the praizes of
the people of Columbia for the
warm reception, the tender care
and the royal entertainment Civ
en- to the sold vets" Columbia
from ali accounts must have
formed herself into a committee
of the whole and left nothing un-
done to make the stay of the old
soldiers happy. We congratu-
late the city upon its magnif-
cient success.

The reportorial staff OF the

minute in detail, Interestingly
written and attractively prepared
is indeed worthy of the most sin

his position is Democratic, there
will be great change of senti-

those who admire the indepen-
