he saifhat UNCONVENTIONAL lines were
opsef' only In so far as they ap-
plied tsminor details of the Christian
religion that all denominations were
the suects Of one great King, and
WorshiA one common Savior. He
used trarmy as an Illustration of the
nf n
anotnef AS the army is made up Of
seVeral Visions, and in order to sue
cess II ust be so. yet they all fight
under Y great command. When one
divisionprns its weapons upon an
other' ~ the great cause suffers loss
and thenemy has gained a decided
advantal They must all keep their
EFFORTS Gtered upon the common foe.
So ii QOminations should turn to
hurt thsne or the other, the cause OF
Christ iteft exposed to the ravages
OF the cpnon enemy. He welcomed
the new hers totake their part in the
battle! II ]. o. Babirf presented very
broad wOme In behalf Of the citi-
zeps, In Alch he took occasion to as
sure thtnewcomers that Yorkville
would reye them as members Of the
city fam and advised them to be
| admonist and at once provide for
themselvlpermanent homes. In con-
clusion Babin assured the new
comers the. town was theirs.
Rev. H. @authen, after giving warm
expressid Of appreciation for the
cordial in which he was being
received, ID that he had been asked
to speak BONE lessons learned from
the past DR. He said that the past
should bel inspiration to greater ef-
forts for future. Like our history,
which inses patriotism in the bosom
of the y@. so what has been done
should bel encouragement to great
er effort. BIT II we allowed the do
lngs of Il past year to fill US with
content ahead to inactivity, 1t had
been bettfor us never to refer to
the past Al. He said further that
traditions Re the great curse Of the
church toe Like the traditions of
the ELDER Israel in the days of
Christ onfth, so the way is often
barred to ttrue progress of religion
today by TRADITIONS Of the fathers.
Mr.. CauthSave out very clearly that
he stood and for the Methodist
church, b,fas in no sense q high
churchmanor bigotted Methodist.
Rev. 1. G. Ray then suggested some
lessons cog to us from the future
year. Hest alluded to the great
kindness VI which he had been re-
ceived anAs appreciation Of the
same. Thee, among other lessons
from the eag year. pointed out the
Iopportuniti4 offers in the Masters
service. Thee call to greater spirit
ualityl, foreilness of self in our zeal |
for the greaing. The call to great
er missiona effort Yorkville for
Christ; Yorpunty for Christ; South
Carolina fo1rist; the United States
for Christ; whole world for Christ. |
Unless this bur spirit we cannot be
in the spiritthe Masters command |
which was: ye into all the world |
and preach gospel to every Great
ure." The sessity of closer and |
more united fts in order to accom-
plished the aest results. Mr.. Muir |
ray protestets contempt for any
thing that SEED Of the work Of a |
proselyter, btrotested his deep and |
sincere desir1 have as his friends |
all people OF breeds, and to be per-
mitted to sAthize with them in
times Of trout Both these new min
listers presen their thoughts well |
and were weIceived. The service |
was greatly Sed throughout. The
exercises wenterspersed with mu-
sic from timefime, a second beau
tiful anthem rendered during the
service. The Vice was dismissed
with the bention by Rev. w. c.
