Paul N. srIcs Dead.

Columbia, November 22.-Paul
M. Brice, for the past several years
editor of the Columbia Record, died
OF cancer of the tongue yesterday ct
his home in Winnsboro, where he
was taken OH Monday, after many
months of most acute suffering. He
was 42 years old aud unmarried.
Paul Brice was one of the gentlest
and kiudliest, as well as one of the
most courageous and able men, that
ever graced South Carolina journal
ism, and withal most lovable man.
He was without any of the forms of
fear, clean, strong and pure because
IL was his nature to be that way.
He was scrupulously conscientious
with his own work, but always pains
taking and patient with those under
him. Every South Carolina news
paper man who knew him loved and
admired Paul Brice, as did every
body else who knew him. He was a
great favorite here in Columbia,
where he was known best.

Open Communion Is Growing.

Rev. G. c. Brown, D. D., of Sumter,
one of the most useful men in the Baptist
ministry in the South, has written for
The Baptist Courier an article on "The
Tendency of the Times" In this article
DR.. Brown intimates that 'open CON-
munion" is growing in favor with the
Baptists. Tho editor of The Courier,
while disagreeing with DR.. Brown, writes
Of a condition which exists in nearly all
denominations with reference to the sac
raments:
I'VE believe that the Lords Supper
should be observed more frequently than
it is by many of our churches. Very
few observe it once month. Some OBJ
serve it every two months, or once a
quarter. Many of the country churches
celebrate it twice year. and we have
known churches that observe it only
once year. 1t will be we'll for our pas
tors to call attention of their churches
to this, and especially in the country
churches, where so many of the Baptists
begin their Christian life. If it becomes
a matter of indifference in the early
years of the church members experience
it will follow them into after years"

SCENE TWO.


Some years ago Sam Jones hold a
meeting with the leading Methodist
church of Little Rock. In his char.
aoteristic style, he went for the fash
ion and the frivolity and the worldli-
ness OF the "sawoiety folks" many
of whom were in this church. They
were much scandalized and offended
as folks Of that class often were with
his denunciations of their doings.
Some two or more years thereafter
Sam was to hold union meeting
there and some of the "principalist
brethren" went to their young pastor
and said, "Pastor, are you going into
the Jones meeting?" eyes," said
be, 81 am. Why do you ask ?"
"Why," said they, "when Mr.. Jones
was here before he scandalized us
before this community and held us
up to ridioule, and we can't stand
for such treatment. We have come
to ask you not to go into that meet
ing. You are promising young
man, and you are very popular with
this people and it will injure your
usefulness if you go against their
feelings in this matter. We wish
you would not do it," The young
man said, "I'll tell you what I'll do.
You all meet me in my study to-
morrow night and I'll give you my
reasons for believing I should go
into the Jones meeting for all / am
worth, and after I've told you, if you
still feel as you do, 1 will not do it,"
They agreed and the next night
they were all on hand. The young
preacher said, "Years ago my father,
Methodist circuit rider, died sud
denly in Georgia and left my mother
with US six children and nothing in
the world except the pittance the
conference provided for the widow
and the orphans. My mother went
to the country town and found that
she could get a house for $1,000, and
by taking boarders she might be able
to keep her children with her and
educate and raise them until they
were old enough to help. l was a
lad of fourteen. But where to get
fifteen hundred dollars mother did
not know. Finally she wrote to
Brother Sam Jones, whom she knew
was my fathers friend, and asked him
if he could not put her in the way of
borrowing the money on long time
till she could pay it gradually. The
mail soon brought letter from
Brother Jones enclosing his personal
check for fifteen hundred dollars as
q gift TO my mother. Thus, she was
able to keep her family together and
when 1 wanted to study for the min
istry Brother Jones became my
father and saw me through college.
Now, if you think l ought to go back
on a man of God like that, you all
say So"
They all hung their heads! At
heart they were good men. The
tears began to fill their eyes and
finally the leading brother who had
been most prominent in his opposi-
tion to Sam said, "Let us all pray"
They fell on their knees and their
hearts were broken up. When they
arose they all took the young pastor
by the hand and said, "Go into the
Jones meeting, pastor, and we will
back you for all we are worth" And
they did.--A. w. Lamar in Baptist
Courier, November 18th.

Seattle, Wash, July 24.-Joe Cans
was given the decision over Dave Hol-
ly at Pleasant Beach last night after
an interesting battle that went the
limit of 90 rounds. Holly insisted on
clinching repeatedly and used his
weight to advantage. Cans had his
opponent groggy in the last round, but
could not put him down. Cans had
absolutely no chance to show his sci
ence in clean fighting, but was forced
throughout to fight a battle at which
Holly is best. 1t was not until the 18th
round that Cans began TO make his
blows tell on Holly.

The several hundred fans who were
disappointed Sunday because of the
rain were more than repaid at yester-
days game. Those rain checks mt st
have foretold defeat for the Senators
yesterday, for they got it and to the
tune of to 0. The Islanders punched
seven hits in two innings and rounded
the circuit three times. The way the
, locals hit Moore was a caution and the
pitcher was taken out at the end of
the fifth inning. Fromme was sent in,
but the best pitcher in the country
couldn't have won against the Island
ers then, as Christy Wilson was GER
tainIy a puzzle and the Senators were
given but three stingy, scattered hits.
Sharp fielding by the Islanders helped
and not man from the capital city got
as much as a look at third. Donnelly
put in busy afternoon stopping hits,
as the ball went safely in his direction
TOUR times during the game and on
two occasions bringing in runs.
Start In Second.
The Islanders found the ball in the
second inning, when Rudd beat out an
infield hit. Cook raped the ball safe
ly and Rudd went to second. McCon
nell followed with a beautiful one to
center and Rudd sprinted home. Don
nelly's error allowed Cook to reach
third. Wilson, however, struck out,
and Cook couldn't score. The Islanders
were not satisfied with one score and
they started in on Moore again in the
fifth and bumped him a little harder

on a grounder With two gone, Black
singled and went to second on Wan
ner's hit. Vandine lifted one that drop
ped safely in center and Black came
home. Walters knocked one in the
same place; it was also safe. and Wan
ner added another to the score 1t was
four straight hits and two more runs.
This was too much for Donnelly and
Fromme entered in the sixth and the
aard-hitting Islanders were held in
check for the remainder of the game.
The Senators went out in one, two,

being unable to connect safely with
the ball but three times. Scarnweber
got a two base hit in the seventh after
two were laid away, the extra base
resulting from a bad bound. Smith
followed with fly to Walters and that
was as far as the Springfield man got.
