NEWS AND NOTICES.
A most excellent sermon by Rev.
Mr.. Frier from the text Romans,
14:7, For none of us liveth to him
SELF" was given strict and apprecia-
tive attention by large congrega-
ton at the Sunday morning service.
The sermon was practical and ap-
plicable to US all in our every rela-
tion as Christians to God as our first
and highest duty, and to our fellow
man because we have named the
name Christ. The writer cannot do
justice to the pastors gentle Chris
tian manner in presenting these
beautiful truths and opening our
eyes so kindly to the facts that come
home so closely to us all in our in
fluence over others. And how seri-
GUS it is when we realize we do in
fluence for good or for evil-that
with God there is no half way
grounds! We are either for Him or
against Him.
The theme, For none of us liveth
to himself" is applicable to all, but
to me it seems more especially so to
Christians. For as Christians our ac-
tions are watched, and from those in
the world we are so severely COM
mented on that it would be such
a glorious thing if we could all say
with Paul, IF meat offend my broth
er I will eat no more while The
world stands" and we could give up
all worldly amusements whereby our
brother might stumble and fall.
While the theme suggests many
ways in which we influence others,
two of the most applicable to us and
our little town is the prohibition
question that is stirring the pulses
and hearts of the thinking men and
women of our State; and the social
card parties that are causing no lit
tie excitement in our town.
MIR. Frier pointed to us SO kindly
the way the smallest influence in the
so-called harmless social game
may be so far-reaching as 10 carry
some soul to perdition-and no soul
is lost alone!
I sincerely hope for the day that
the women of Bamberg will see the
harm in the social game of cards.
And the men the far-reaching hurt
of the social glass of wine, and that
we may all realize we live not In
ourselves alone, but our influence
lives on eternally.
Our Sunday-school was well at
tended and every one that was not
present missed great deal for our
lesson was very instructive, being
from the subject, 1.-The Apostles I'M
Motto Text: blessed are they
that are prosecuted for righteous
ness sake; for theirs is the kingdom
Of Heaven
The superintendent, Brother c. w.
Rentz, was in his place and the
writer has never known of a man
that is more suited for the place; we
all love him and he loves the work.
Our treasurer and secretary, Broth
ers D. G. Fielder and G. H. Smoak,
we're at their places, and when col
lection was taken they reported
1901 for foreign missions.
We hope to do great things in our
work this year, 80 let
every one do his and her part.
