The Present Generation and the Fu-

Sermons about the future life have
grown rare. It is generation since min

of future punishment, except to question
its endlessness and Its character. For
time the stress of preaching turned to
the subject of future blessedness in heav-

vice.
A philosophical impersonal interest in
this subject is felt by many, which leads
them to welcome discussions by such
teachers as William James or John Fiske
concerning the continuance of PERSONAL
sity after death or the experiments OF the
Society. for Psychical Research; but this
is far removed from the awe or the Joy
with which men used to speak Of the

using temporary quarters. We have
purchased n beautiful lot upon which

erected for them last year will serve

our schools has not been changed since
the reorganization Of the schools in

In perus;ng the weeklies received
from every section of the State we find
but few foreclosures Of mortgages and
the land that has been sold brought
fairly good prices. This indicates
that those who owe money are either
liquidating their mortgages or arrang-
ing their obligations satisfactorily with
creditors. In spite Of high taxes,
short crops and prices the people, gen
orally, are, as the saying goes, making
both ends meet, consequently they are
happy and hopeful.

748, 900, 900 last year. That is the low :

pert who puts the crop Of 1902 at 7GO
million bushels against 752 millions in

vance OF ten cents on wheat on the

THANKSGIVING DAY.

Tomorrow will be Thanksgiving
Day. 1t should not be day lightly
to be esteemed and lightly observed.
Whatever of prosperity and happiness
has been enjoyed was made possible
only through the goodness of God, and
1t is the duty Of I'll to number
their mercics, the delights and joys Of
each of which they have tasted and
out of glad hearts give thanks. 1t
should be q day Of genuine, heartfelt
gratitude, expressed in deeds which
point conclusiycly to sincerity. If
there be any whose lives are darkcncd
by m;sfor:unes and sorrows 70 the cx-
tent that they are inclined to give
thanks In manner altogether per-
functory and with but little or no
gratitude, it may be suggested 10
them that if, in the face Of thcir sor-
rows, they will take the pains to re-
call the mercies they have enjoyed
through the past year and through
life, be their circumstances what they
may, they will find much, very much, ,
to be thankful for; and if after count
Ing their mercies to the point where
they force their appreciation upon the
heart, they will bestow upon some
worthy object some act of kindness at
the expense of self fdenial, their hearts
will be made lighter and lives brighter,
and this Thanksgiving Day may mark
new era for them in matters both
spiritual and temporal. The expres-
sion OF gratitude is duty; simply to
feel grateful is not enough. Some
thing should be done. If nothing can
be given to relieve the wants of the
unfortunate ones, kind words, en-
couraging words, comforting words
can be spoken, and they become the
evidences Of gratitude. On this
Thanksgiving Day the mind should be
concentrated upon those things which
lead the soul into communion with it's
Creator. To this end the reople
should assemble themselves in their
respective Churches and bow together
Ill humble, grateful reverence. In
every denomination there are orphan
ages to support, and to contribute to
these furnishes an opportunity to give
evidence of our sincere gratefulness.
The First and Central Presbyterian
Churches will unite in services at IL
o'clock at the First Church, Rev. II.
K. Murchison preaching the sermon,
and collection will be taken for the
Thornwell Orphanage.
At the First Baptist Church there
will be services at 10 O'Clock. Sew
eral short addresses will be delivered
by members of the congregation aud
the pastor and collection taken for the
poor Of the city.
At St. Johns Methodist Church
services will be held at 7.3O p. IN.

RUSSIA'S SUGAR CROP.
Announcement Made by the Minister
Of Finance.

OF e nance.
The State Department made public today a
translation Of circular issued by the Rus
Sian minister Of finance and transmitted by
Consul General Holloway at St. Petersburg,
that country's sugar surplus. The circular
recites that according to the report Of the
committee Of ministers, dated July g. the
quantity of sugar to be placed on the home
market for the period 19O2-19O3 Is !, 552, s16,-
600 pounds and the intangible reserve Is fix
ed at 1S0, $50 900 pounds. 1.-THE basis of par
ticulars given blythe managers of excise
revenues" the circular states, "for the term
ended August 10. and taking into considera-
ton the area Of plantations, the harvest
and quality of the sugar-beet roots during
the last three periods, and the existing sur
plus of sugar in different factories the total
output Of sugar for this period is estimated
at 2,7Os. 100000 pounds, out of which 1,155,-
5S4 pounds would constitute the surplus"
ION the above basis" the circular con-
tinues, 'the minister orders that $40 per
cent of the output for 1902 1903 be passed
over to the surplus, out Of which II per
cent must be passed into the intangible re-
serve and 1879 per cent to the free surplus
of each factory. In those factories where
there is already an intangible reserve
which at the end of the accounts must be
added to the figure of the total output and
redisributed between the free sugar and
the surplus in proportion to the new sugar
passed to the intangible surplus-an equal
quantum of sugar of the preceding reserve
Is to be passed into the free reserve
