Mr.. McIver Erwin, Brother
of Mrs. Geo. w. Brown,
of Darlington, Probably
Drowned at Sea.

Mr.. Mclver Erwin, a young
man Of Florence who had been
living in New York several years,
mysteriously disappeared IRON
aboard a steamer bgtween New
York and Charleston a few days
ago. 1t is not known whether he
met with foul play, accidentally
fell overheard or committed
suicide by drowning. The last
theory is not believed however,
as there was no reason for the
young man to take his own life.
Mr.. Erwin was a brother Of Mrs.
Brown, wife of Senator Geo w.
Brown, Of DARLINGTON, and he
was on his way to Darlington 30
visit his sister when he lost his
life.
Col. and Mrs. Brown, who are
we'll known in Lancaster. this
being the Old home Of the former,
have the full sympathy of their
numerous friends here in their
bereavement.

enousness and true holiness un-
til at last they shall be escorted
by conveys Of angels to the Par
adise Of God. When they appear
before the Heavenly Tribunal,
may each one be privileged to
hear the "Well done, thou good
and faithful servant" from the
lips of Jesus, and then forever
dwell in the presence of the
Lord.
The Christian Crusaders avail
the themselves of this opportu-
nifty to gratefully acknowledge
the many courtesies and acts of
kindness of all who have kindly
contributed to their temporal
needs, and have given them
words of cheer and encourage
ment. They earnestly pray that
those of this number who are
Christians may persistently
strive to get farther out into the
deep ocean of Gods unfathom-
able love in order that those of
their neigh5ors and friends who
"know Him not" man be persua-
ded to surrender their wills to
the Savior, and also become sons
and daughters of the royal fami-
ly of God Almighty.
AS the Crusaders leave Ian
caster they request the prayers
of Gods children that they may,
as ambassadors of Christ, be
faithful to the charge with which
He has entrusted them, and that
success may attend their efforts
in their next field of labor. If
in the providence Of God they
meet the people of Lancaster no
more upon earth, they desire to
meet them in Heaven whittier
they are bound.
Remembering the commission
with which Christ has sent them
out to labor, viz. $50 ye in all
the world and preach the gospel
to every creature" the Crusa-
ders have been contained by the
love of God to hold a few meet
ings in the interest OF the unsa-
we'd among the colored people,

Fuller Report Of the Final
misunderstanding in Lam
caster---Thanks Extended
the People of the Commu-
nifty for Kindnesses Shown.
Reported for The News.


series of undenominational and
interdenominational meetings of
the Christian Crusaders, was
held on Thursday night, July II.
The seating capacity Of the Tab.
ernacle was crowded, and many
stood on the outside. The thought
of this meeting being the last
one in the Tabernacle in which
the great appreciation Of the
work which has been done
could be manifested, and also
their last opportunity to ex
press their gratitude to God and
10 the Crusaders, for blessings
which have come TO the hearts
of many, brought sadness and
solemnity over the greater part
Of the audience assembled.
The hallowed spot upon which
the Tabernacle stands, which
was consecrated to God, at the
time the camp was established, -,
became more sacred as the me
mortal was raised of 100 testi
monies which were given to Gods
glory, from all parts of the con-
gregation. This number compris-
ed many of the recent converts,
and older Christians some Of
whom had not ventured to testi.
fy for Christ before this time,
during this series of meetings.
Many spoke of the great blessings
they had received through these
services, and others expressed
their determination to follow
Jesus unto the end aud meet the
Crusaders in Heaven.
Though they have been obliged
to combat with many elements
Of opposition, the worst of which
was an under current of malig-
nant prejudice agitated by some
who ought to have known better
than to have done anything that
would in the least degree inter-
fere with Gods soul saving work,
the Crusaders have very much
enjoyed the work here as they
have cO-labored and mingled
with the people. While God has
through their instrumentality,
brought blessing to many
hearts, the Crusaders, themsel-
yes, have been much blessed q,
and have found among the peo-
pie Of Lancaster, some who real
ly know God, and many warm
friends.
In their farewell remarks, the
Crusaders eXhorted the converts
to "walch and pray" aud to be
resolved to be true TO God unto
the end of their lies journey,
with the assurance, il they will
trust and obey God, that they
can ever claim His promise, "Lo,
| am with you alway, even un-
to the end Of the world"
Some who had T rastinated
the matter of coming to Christ
until the asst meeting, surrender
ed to Christ during the altar
service.
The Crusaders commend these

TUBERCULOSIS IN FRANCE.
