Always Welcome Visitor-Preached
Two Able Sermons to Large
Audiences.

On Sunday morning in the absence
of the pastor, DR.. J. ". Wolling, the
pulpit of Central Methodist church.
was occupied by DR.. ". ". Daniel
the gifted and cultured president OF
Columbia college.
It was a great pleasure to the con,
gregation as we'll as to large num-
Der of friends in the city to have DR.
Daniel preach on this occasion, and
the church auditorium at both ser
vices was filled.
Dr.. Daniel is one of the best
preachers in the South Carolina con-
ference of the present day. He has
unusually gracious pulpit manners
and his soft, melodious voice is dis
tinctly heard all through the congre-
cation. At both services DR.. Daniel
received the undivided attention of
his listeners.
His sermon on Sunday morning
was an able discourse on the promul-
cation of the gospel. He said that
many arguments had been based on
the question, "When will the end of
time be?' DR.. Daniel showed that
Christ had said that time was only
being prolonged in order that the Cos
pei might be preached to all nations.
He showed how men we're retarding
the plans of God that their own sell
fish purposes might be accomplished,
but that in the course of time this did
not amount to anything lasting and
that only those who cooperated with
the plans Of the Lord would abide.
At the evening service DR.. Daniel s
theme was "Fidelity to Truth.' The
basis of his remarks being that the
duty of every man is to live up to
the light that has been shown him,
and that he will be judged only ac-
cording as he has been shown. but to
the fullest extent of the light as Civ
en-.
DR.. Daniel was at one time pastor
of Central Methodist church Of this
city, and his numerous friends are
delighted with the rise he has so
continuously made and rejoice with
him that the Lords work continues
to prosper in his hands. DR.. Daniel
is an alumnus Of Newberry college.

DEATH OF MISS CARRIE YOUNG
Student of Mont Amoena Seminary,
Mt. Pleasant, N. C.-Was Mem
Der Junior Glass.

ut ten o'clock on Friday night at
Mont Amoena Seminary, Mt. Pleas
ant. Y. c., after an illness of three
weeks from typhoid fever, occurred
the death of Miss Carrie Young, aged
19 years, and the second daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. G. D. Young, Of the
Pomaria section.
This was Miss Young's first year
at Mont Amoena although she was a
Junior in that institution, and she
took high rank in her classes, having
won the medal in mathematic for the
closing year. However, she became
sick too soon to know that she had
been the winner for after it was so
decided she was never conscious to a
sufficient degree to become aware OF
the honr that had been bestowed upon
her.
The funeral services were conduct
ed Sunday morning and the burial
was had at Bethlehem Lutheran
church, this county, the funeral rites
being said by the pastor Of the de-
ceased, the Rev. J. J. Long.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young, the parents of
the young lady, have only made their
home in the Pomaria section during
the last two years, coming there from
their former home in Laurens county.
Mrs. Young was Miss Fannie Settler
before her marriage, and the young
lady who died at Mt. Pleasant was a
granddaughter of DR.. George A. Setz-
Ter with whom Mr.. and Mrs. Young
are now making their home. She was
a member of large family eonnec-
ton in the Pomaria section, and other
portions of the State, and ''or death
is a peculiarly %ad ore.
It seems a sad dispensation of prov
idence that took away a life 50 young
and hight and promising. and yet
that If, las now been transplanted
into a better world above, where the
brave young spirit will never grow
old, and the sweet memory of her
held so dear by those she has left
viii always be that of one who was
young and fair and as the years come
and go one by one the loved ones
who now mourn her departure Will
greet her in I've land of eternal
brightness and al sorrow and sighing
Will flee away.
The commencement exercises OF
Mont Amoena were to begin on Sun
day but owing to the death OF this
young lady they were abandoned, and
none of the exercises were had except
