METHODIST MEETING
BEGINS
Large Audience Heard Excellent
Sermon Sunday Night.
SERVICES EACH NIGHT THIS WEEK

Sunday nights service at the
Methodist church marked the open
ing OF the series OF eyangelis-
tic meetings that will continue
through this week and a part OF
the next and was of unusual inter
est throughout. The church was fill-
ed to its capacity.
The special music consisted OF
a quartet. His Tender Care, whlch
united Addisons poetic words win
the majestic melody of wagner s
pilgrims Chorus" and which was
sung with sympathetic appreciation
OF both sentiment and melody, ana
a duet by Nicolai. "Tarry with Me-
0 My Saviour" rendered with beau,
tiful effect by Mrs. a. =. Rowe ana
Mr. Charles Wright.
The sermon of the evening was
preached by Rev r. A. Williams,
who took for his text the parable Oh
the marriage supper, Luke XIV, ID
"a.
He spoke first OF the extent and
universally OF the invitation to TINS
simmer an invitation which reach
es down until II touches the low
est Of society, up until II reaches
the highest exponent OF twentlelh
century civilization and out uhtll II
has encircled the globe. But saiu
Mr. Williams. three gentlemen IN
This parable refused the invitation
and their excuses and preteXts tor
thus refusing it all show the same
difficulty. pre-occupation ABOUT
other things. Even more in this
day than in the time OF Christ we
are busy and pre-occupied. Busl-
ness Is the colossus that oyerstrides
hearts and homes. Rush Is the
watchword OF the age. The three
men in the parable, however. were
all pre-occupied with good things
and from this fact Mr.. Williams 5
then developed the idea suggested
by 1.-THE evil OF good thlng. II
is not always the wicked and llehd-
ish things that do us harm. but
sometimes the good things. because
they shut out something better.
The first man in this parable had
bought a field. He was becoming a
landed proprietor, an excellent
thing. 1t is a thousand times bet
ter to use ones hard-earned money

lowed the land 20 rise up and Dioch

The second man had bought I'VE
yoke of oxen, also a good thing, as
he had thus provided himself WIN
the means of becoming a worker
Work is Gods great panacea lot
all care. but this man had built up
out OF his work n Gibraltar that par
red his way into Gods KING
dom The third man had married
a wife. Here the speaker PAID an
eloauent tribute to the noble ana
elevating influence OF women 'moth-
ers sisters. wives. on the life ana
destiny of men, quoting Rusk-
ms words. "The souls armor Is
never we'll set to the heart unless
a woman braces it," But this man,
he said. had allowed his highest
blessing to shut for him the gates
OF Heaven.
In closing Mr. Williams Impress
ed his hearers both by Illustration
and exhortation with the Importance
of not allowing possessions. busi-
ness. or even the sweet pleasures
of home to interfere with their ac-
ceptance of the great invitation TO
the marriage supper Of the lamb.

Offer OF fine Spring
Question of Water Supply AT
Cave Seems Solved
VALUABLE farm TRACT CHANGES HANDS
Weyer'S Cave Citizens Now Have
Choice of Two Propositions

Viewers Cave, Aug. 1.-THE ques-
ton of how to obtain a water supply
for this place took a sudden turn for
the better yesterday when Mr. w.
E. Pence generously offered to give
the town the right to use what water
it needed from his spring on the
other side of North River and half a
mile above Rockland Mills. The
flow of this spring is not as strong as
the one Mr.. w. S. Kaiser offered
to sell the town, but it would furnish
all the water town much larger
than this could use. The water is
much cooler than the other and is
said to also contain medical proper
ties.
The distance from the town to
each spring is about one and one
half miles so that the cost of piping
would be the same. This would
make very great difference in the
cost of obtaining a good water supply
as Mr.. Kaiser asked $4,000 for his
spring while Mr.. Pence would be sat
isfied with the right to tap the pipe
for his own USE Therefore it seems
more probable that the town will &C
cept Mr. Fences proposition in pre-
ference to Mr.. Kaiser's unless some
unforeseen difficulty arises.
Miss Isidore Heatwole, graduate
of S. C. l., will give an elecution re-
cital this evening at the Union Chap
ell, U. B. church, for the benefit OF
that congregation. A lawn party will
also be held at the West View school
grounds next Saturday, August 5, for
the benefit of the same church.

farm lying about mile west of here
