A short time ago, you were kind
enough to reproduce paragraph
from DR.. G. C. Brown of Sumter,
and now I beg that you repeat a
paragraph, which is part of SER
mon before the South Carolina Syn
cd at Clinton, on October 18th, by
the Rev. G. G.. Mayes, the retiring
moderator, which is as follows:
Calvin threw down the gauntlet III
the face of all Europe. Not ashamed
to declare the whole counsel of
Cod That was what his church
stood for, and the world needs a
church to stand for the same. The
stern old tenets were unmistakable
then, they must be unmistakable to-
day. Intellectual unrest is abroad in
the land. Nothing is too sacred to
be questioned. The faith of many is
wavering. Christians are numerous,
but they are so weak. Gods holy
day is losing its sanctity, the Chris
tian home is being attacked, and
law is held by many in contempt.
There are things transpiring under
our eyes, and in our very presence
that are a reproach to Christian
people. If ever a firm stand was
needed to be taken for God and
truth; if ever strong meat for nigh
ty men was called for, the condi-
tions call for such to-day. The cav
airy of Gods militant host may be
securing the field. His infantry be
battering in every place, but the
heavy guns of the heavy
artillery must be brought into ac-
ton orno complete route is posi-
ble."
This is an extract from a sermon
on the mission of the Presbyterian
church, and L rise to ask, Is the
mission of the Episcopal, Metho-
dist or Baptist any less, or condi-
tions any more favorable, or the
responsibility and work lighter?
The cotton, the cotton. ] have
been told that Mr.. B. d. Kitchings
of White Town picked ls hundred
pounds seed cotton from his sorri-
est acre the fret picking. Of, course
.lhe got 81 all. Mr.. f. 4. Uhrisuisn
says he picked 1000 pounds from
s-1O of an acre, and has not gather
ed over half, which will make 1900
pounds to 9-10 of an acre; and this
too on land, that a few years ago,
it was thought would not produce
cotton.
On last Friday night a sociable
was given by Mr.. and Mrs. w. P,
Parks in honor of Miss Ruth Cot,
ton of New Haven, Conn.,, who is
on a visit to her grandfather, Mr.
B. f. Cotton of this place. The so,
ciable was we'll attended, and the
young people are said to have had
good time.
The Masonic lodge met in regu
lar session last Saturday night, and

There has not been a meeting II
two years of this lodge, that there
has not been work to do, which
shows that there has been at leas
in this community a revival in th'
Masonic fraternity. There was
full attendance of the members anc
a visitor in the person of Mr.. j. d
Quarles of Concordia.
