MORE LIGHT.

It is a great pity that when our
electric light plant was put in we
did not contemplate the growth
and development of the town.
The town has grown and now the
plant is overloaded, and yet there
are sections of the town that have
no lights at all.
In West End there is urgent
need of some lights and we hear
complaints from Brooklyn in re-
gard to the poor lights in that part
of the city. -
Something will have to be done.
Either we will have to enlarge the
plant so as t o,light the city as it
should be, or we will have to put
mp some oil lamps. There should
also be more light around both de-
pots. There are night trains COM
ing in now from which we get
many passengers.
Then the incandescent plant is
overloaded too. Something will
have to be dome. We understand
that about a year ago there was a
proposition by which we could ex-
change our dynamos for larger ones
without so great an outlay. Why
not do it? We need more light in
some sections of the city.

TEE COLLEGE REMAINS IN COLUMBIA.
E. II. AULL, EDITOR.

THE CULLEGE k6MA4NS In COAoHADAAs
The session of Conference yester-
day was taken up with the consid-
Grafton of the Columbia Female
College question. The story of the
debate is told in another column.
The discussion was animated,
but in the best of spirit and feeling
throughout. Every speaker seemed
to place the interests of the college
above every other consideration,
This is as it should have been. The
vote on the question of removal wa:
closer than we thought it would
have been, but the friends of Lau'
rens and Greenwood, after the de-
cision went against them by the
declaration to remain in Columbia.
acted broadly and moved to make
the vote unanimous, which was
done.
The Conference acted wisely in
deciding to leave the college IN
Columbia. There are many advan'
tages in Columbia for a school Of
this kind which could not have
been enjoyed at any other place in
the South.
In addition to this Columbia is
growing very rapidly, and we be-
lieve there is no city in the South
with as bright future before it as
Columbia. We believe there is no
other place where the college will
do as we'll as in Columbia. That
is the way it looks to us, and we
have no personal interest in it one
way or the other.
The Methodists and the people
of Columbia will have to show their
appreciation of the act of Confer
ence by rallying to the support Of
the institution as they have never
done before, and then the rest OF
the State will fall in line and an
era of prosperity will dawn upon
the college such as it has never
known. New and additional build.
ings are needed, and there should
be more ground, and this we have
no doubt can be easily obtained.

in that time the destiny of an i'm
mortal life may have been decided.
The greatest difficulties the Board
found in their work were the two
classes of pastors, the one which
considered the Epwo1th League so
trivial that it was not worth his
time, and the other who considered
it as complicated as the sphinx.
No lite is pure, brave or strong
that does not pray. The EpwoFth
League gathers the young people
together for prayer. There are some
who go into it because people die
sometimes and when people die it is
we'll to be religious, and they think
this is an easy way of being religl-
Gus. They find the old-fashioned
method of prayer, and they soon
drop off. God be praised that these
are few, that most of those in the
work are the whelps of lions. The
speaker, in his inimitable manner,
told a story illustrating the power
of prayer. In the Epworth League
prayer and the books have met.
The speaker had heard some pas
tors say they had no Epworth
League, but they had a prayer
meeting. If they have a prayer
meeting they have an Epworth
League. What is an Epworth
League but a prayer meeting?
What is the universe but a prayer
meeting? What will be that great
army gathered out of every nation
and country and tongue, at the gates
of heaven waiting one evening till
the morning break, that they may
enter in? What will it be? Moth
ing but a prayer meeting. And
that great host within the gates
throughout all eternity? What will
it be? Nothing but a prayer meet
ing. For they cry, saying, Halle
luiah, hallelujah, the Lord God
forever reigneth."
But to pray and to stop is to
mock. The world prays too much
now after a fashion. 1t prays now
and the amen reaches from one
prayer to the other. The truth is
most of our prayers ought to begin
with the amen. Between prayers
ought to come the working days of
our life, doing that which we pray
to come to pass.
What the young people need now
is books put into their hands and
someone to see that they read them.
They that bury their faces in the
fragrant pages Of the Old Book
will drink deep the water Of life.
1t is the making of destiny. They
will see the mysteries of God and
the awful things that lie behind his
throne. Good books, not the trashy
romances of these latter days.
This kind of books the Epworth
League seeks to provide.
He concluded with stating his
purpose in being here to enlist every
preacher in the movement. =
