In his introduction of one of the
speakers of the "Men and religion
forward movement" in Charleston
on the third Sunday, Right, Rever.
end William A. Guerry, Bishop of
the Episcopal Diocese of South
Caroliaa, as reported in the papers
said: That man to-day we should
uot:cau a Christian, who is poor
citizen. The man, who shirks his
duty atsthe polls, the man who takes
every 5pportunityt o escape the duty
as a 5pIgman, as a citizen, the man
who is Indifferent as to the condi-
ton his community, the man who
is indifferent as to whetheryou have
a juvenile court, or not, the man
who cod live in his brown stone
housf, while his neighbor in the
corneT around the street, in howell
whiel is covered with unspeakable
filth, og any condition in his city,
or town, which tends to drag down
the lAvei Of life of his fellow citi-
zen do not see how such a man
can ca himselfea9s disciple of Jesus
Christ. We thank God to hold aloft
that standard here this afternoon
thatthe best Christian in any COM
muniia eught1to be the best citizen
in tha community.
The columbia State applies these
words tg Columbia, and every other
comnausljty. showing that the Chris
tian people should not stand aloof
from politics, but should take a
hand in the destruction of the cor
ruptioRof political machinery. And
q want t9 add on my own account,
that tlle Cbristian people of the
stat even down to the remotest
.155as sds town, should turn theis
backs with bitter scorn upon any
office seeker, who is himself law
breaker. Let us turn out the law
breaking officials, and elect clean
set.
The Parksville Baptist church
yesterday in conference, adopted
the following preamble and resoll-
tions offered by Col. w. J. Talbert.
Whereas, our pastor, Rev. T. H.
Garrett, has seen fit to resign the
pastorate of the Parksville Baptist
church and whereas we the mem
bers of said church desire to ex-
press our appreciation of his servi-
ces since he has been with US, there
fore be it resolved:
lst. That it is with great sorrow
that we accept his resignation and
deeply deplore the fact that he has
rendered the same, but we trust it
is being done by the direction of an
All Wise Providence, and we COM
mend him to those to whom he
may go, as a man of God.
End. That we desire to put on
record our sincere appreciation of
his earnest labors since he came
among MS, and it is with sad hearts
and a great deal of relutance, that
we part with him, and his very in
teresting family.
3rd. That a copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the church
minute book, copy be sent his
family and that they be published
in the Baptist Courier, and the
county papers.
Miss Carrie Burknalter was quiet
ly married to Mr.. III. E. Freeland
one day last week by Rev. ]. T.
Littlejohp at her residence. Our
congratulations and good wishes
naturally 60 out to them on account
of long acquaintance and strong ties
of friendship.
When, not long ago, we were
predicting orange blossoms we were
not talking of Rehoboth, but of
Parksville. Now all we ask is for
the public to watch. Parksville is
in an attitude of expectancy, but
don't ask us to tell for it's pro-
found secret. See?
Rev. G. H. Burton and wife spent
some time in Parksville last week
as guests of Mr.. and Mrs. T. G. Tai
bert. Miss Sallie Parker of Edge
field came with them, and is still
guest of her sister, Mrs. Talbert.
