USE AND ABUSE
OF THE WORLD
SUBJECT OF DIR. MAcks SERMON
AT FIRST OF THE UNION
SERVICES.

Inaugurating the first Of the series
of union services during the heated
season, Rev. George H. Mack preached
on Sunday night at the First Metho
dist church to one Of the largest con
gregations that has attended a service
there in several months. The audi
forum was packed and every seat
taken and in addition many chairs
were pressed into service. The ser
mon of DR.. Mack was well worthy OF
the occasion and the music was ex-
ceptionally good. The three solos by
Mrs. Proctor Polk and the Misses
Bidez deserve special mention. On
the whole the musical program was
one of the best heard in Columbia in
a long time.
Services ON next Sunday night will
be held at the First Baptist church
and Rev. T. A. Wharton. pastor of
the First Presbyterian church. will
preach the sermon. These services
are participated in by the congrega-
tons of the Methodist, Presbyterian,
Cumberland Presbyterian and Baptist
churches. DR.. Mack's sermon on Sun
day night was on the use and the
abuse of the world and it was a strong
presentation of the subject
Taking for the text They that use
this world as not abusing it, for the
fashion of this world passeth away"
l Cor. 1871. DR.. Mack said in part:
This world is not hopelessly bad
Despite an old philosophy that said
matter is essentially evil; that the
body is the seat of sin, of which the
passions are the outer manifestations
and which must be cruciied as the
monk or the hermit does; despite the
remnants of this thought in our hymns
as when we sing This Worlds
Wilderness of Woe'-yet Jesus regard
ed this world as worth regenerating
and taught us to make a heaven on
earth, to pray thy kingdom come
here.
Paul here regards the world as
temporal, but thing to be used-not
abused. We are able to state three
truths.
! First, All things are in themselves
good In the hour of creation God
saw that they were very good. Yet
some insist on running partition
through life and calling the parts
sacred and secular 1t recalls the
superstition of the Devils Acre of the
Middle Ages when men allowed the
Devil his plot so he would not inter
fere with the good crops on the rest
Of the land But the seed from the
weeds in this plot blew over on the
good land and men believed In max
ing all land good-it is all Gods.
Second. Sin and evil come in the
abuse of things. God created all
things with purpose for each. When
this intent is perverted or the thing
Is used to excess and abused then
enters sin.
Notice the human body how fear
fully and wonderfully made But
when it's appetites are perverted or
abused what evil and degration. We
nave then the glutton and the drunk
ard, the dope drinker and the Gig!
lrette fiend, the harlot and the liber-
inc.
"A pack of cards are no more in
themselves than pack of authors. d
But when by use they are perverted
nd made the tools of gambling: or y
vhen they engross the time and make
me devotee to the neglect of com
non duties, there is the abuse and
in.

WARRANTS OUT
FOR DEPUTIES
MINERS HAVE TWENTY-FIVE Ar
RESTED IN MINING DISTRICT
OF ALABAMA.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, July 19.-Re
ports of rioting at mining camps
where a strike is in progress were
few today. At Maury Lee mines the
guards are reported to have surprised
a number of men attempting to ap-
proach the works and fired upon them.
No one is known to have been in
jured.
At Pratt City, the home of a ne
gro, said to be a non-union miner, was
comp letely wrecked by dynamite. The
family was absent and no one was
hurt The owner of the house was
arrested because of alleged suspicious
circumstances in connection with the
explosion.
Twenty-Five deputy sheriffs were ar
rested today on warrants sworn out
by leaders of the union miners, the
charges ranging from assault to muir
Ter. Warrants are also said to be
ut for fifty other de- Il les.
The ministers of the district, head
ed by Father O'Grady, OF Pratt City,
are endeavoring to bring the opera
crs and miners together for a con-
ference, hoping a settlement may be
secured by arbitration.
w. H. Weston, a Deputy Sheriff,
who accidentally shot himself in the
leg, died tonight.
Troops to Stay.
Gov. Conner, accompanied by Mrs. !
Conner and their three daughters, to-
day made an automobile tour of the
various mining camps, addressing the
miners and soldiers at each camp, and |
were enthusiastically received. Up
on returning to Birmingham the Gov
ernor stated that he had found the
district peaceful and that he had
reason to believe the end of the trou-
BILE was near at hand.
In spite of that fact, however, the
Governor today notified the Adjutant
General that owing to uncertainty of
he strike situation State troops must
not be permitted to leave Alabama for
my encampments before the expira-
ion of two weeks.

WHO OWNS THE FAIR?
is the Property Of the People-Rev-
enues Devoted to improvements.

Visitors to the West Michigan State
Fair have been heard to express some
wonder as to whom the ownership
of the fair is vested in and who profits
by the revenues derived. That there
may be no misapprehension on this
score we are pleased to inform our
readers that the fair is owned by
the members of the association, and
that anyone may join that body on
payment of the membership fee of 81.
The fair was organized for the ben
eft of the entire people Of this sec-
ton, and there is absolutely no re-
striction to membership, no race, party
or color lines being drawn. The pay
ment of the membership fee entities
new members to precisely the same
privileges as charter members.
The fair is now being conducted
by a number of public-spirited citi-
zens of Grand Rapids and western
Michigan, and there is 40 profit ac-
cruing to any officer or individual con-
nected with 1t. All officers, superin-
tendents and directors furnish their
services without compensation, the
secretary being the only officer draw.
ing salary, and that merely a nom-
inal one. All the profits of these fairs
have been and for several years to
come must be devoted to improve
ments of the grounds, the erection
Of new buildings and repairs to the
old ones.
Comstock Park, in which is located
the grounds of the fair, was origi-
nally donated to the Western Michi-
gan Agricultural and Industrial soci.
ETY. by the late Hon. G. G. Comstock,
and in turn came into the possession
of the West Michigan State Fair. BY
the terms Of the deed, should the
grounds at any time cease to be used
for fair purposes they will revert to
the city of Grand Rapids for use as
park.

great 24-hours' automobile race, which
ended at Brighton Beach race-track
at New York Saturday night. Robert
son and Lescault, No. 6, driving Sim
pick car, won the race. As the nerve
straining contest drew to close a
crowd Of more than 10000 persons had
gathered at the little race course by
the sea. There was excitement plenty
from start to finish of the race, as
hardly an hour went by without an
accident happening The terrific speed
BY the racers cut the soft
track into deep ruts and every now and
again the swiftmoying automobiles
sweryed into the low fences.

Cobe driving 50-horse-power Lozier

ing him personally. thinks he is the
kind Of near-sighted conservative VINO

is urged in proof of his light headed
radicalism. but in 1896 bi-metalism was
good gospel for respectable section of
the Republican party, including Will
liam Mckinley, and had as strong an
advocate in England as A. j. Balfour.
Rryan's proposal for federal control of
railways was thrown out as lure for
the radicals who mad been gathering
around Hearst during Bryan's absence
in Europe. It succeeded to some ex
tent, and then Bryan, being an intense
conservative, withdrew it because it
threatened conflict with race prejudices
In the South. II you want to know
