yesterday with the baccalaureate SER
lumbia, S. c., is now in fun swing. DR..
McPheeters is preacher of consecra-
ton and power and his sermon here
yesterday enhanced in a high degree
the reputation that had preceded him.
He said that of all callings known
to men, the verv first for dignity or i'm
portance is the gospel ministry. He
then asserted that. in order to estab
lish his contention, it would be neces-
sary to lay down several pOstulates. He
therefore assumed: The reality of God;
the reality of the soul; the reality of
moral distinctions the reality of sin
the reality of human experience; the
reality of heaven and hell; a purpose
and place of redemption revealed in
Gods word and the necessity of the
church and ministry to perfect this
plan. These assumptions once admit
ted the argument that the ministry is
the greatest of all callings, is scarcely
required.
At night an excellent sermon was
preached before the Y. M. G. A. by
Rev. c. r. Hyde, Phi. D., Of Chester,
