Mr.. Nivens was delighted with his

Sumter county hospitality, and the
cordial welcome extended by the la

The productiveness Of the soils of

breaches ON RAISING THE
DEAD.
THE
Large Monday Night Audience Hears
Evangelist.
From The Daily Item, June 8.

From The Daily Item, June 8.
An unusually large audience heard
Evangelist Roger. HI. Fife at the
Christian church last night, in one OF
his best sermons to date. on Raising
the Dead" He read three passages
from the Scriptures, one giving an
account of the raising to life the little
daughter OF Jairus; another of the
raising of the son of the widow of
Naim. and the third the raising of
Lazarus. He made these represent
three cases of spiritual resurrection.
He showed how much easier it is to
raise young people to life than it is
to wait till they get older and
farther away in sin.
The chief part of the text was the
passage, Loose him, and let him 60"
He showed how many people who
have become welded to sinful lives.
and then try to be religious. need the
help Of the church to break away
from the wicked habits of life that
hold on to them even after they have
been converted. Q.
He said, God never does for people
what they can do for themselves.
Jesus could have laid hold upon that
stone and rolled it away, or he could
have spoken a word and the stone
would have been sent tumbling down
the hill; but those men were standing
there idle, and Jesus knew that it,
would make them feel more interest
in the matter if they had some hand
In 1t, and he commanded them to roll
1t away. Then when lazarus came
forth he was still bound about with
grave clothes, and the Master said to
those standing by, Here is something
more you can do-Loose him and let
him co. And SO Christ is saying that
to each one of us tonight.
Whilst it has not yet been formally
announced to the congregation, it is
understood that arrangements have
been perfected for the location of a
permanent pastor with the Christian
church here, and he will probably ar
rive and be installed before Evangelist
Fife leaves.

from The Daily Item, June 10.
Before the largest and most enthus-
iastic crowd of the season, Sumter de-
feated the crack Columbia Athletics
by the score of 2 to 0. The credit of
the victory belongs largely to Frank
Chandler, for he pitched a splendid
game, getting fifteen strike-outs and
allowing but five scattered singles. 1t
was difficult game to pitch, but
Chandler was very steady in the
pinches and pulled out of several
tight holes.
The Sumter team was a bit shaky in
the field, especially in the infield, but
1T just happened to be an off day, and
the team should take a big brace to-
day. Columbia played a fine game,
but hardly deserved to win, as their
hitting was rather weak.
Hill, a former South Atlantic
Lacquer pitched good steady game,
exhibiting a puzzling change of pace
that had the locals guessing.
Altogether it was an interesting
game, marred only by a contested de-
cision in the ninth and here a word
OF tribute should be give to the sports
manship of the visitors. The question
ed decision came when it was almost
dark and rather than disappoint the
crowd by consulting the rule book,
Manager Turner accepted the decision
and finished the game. The gentle
manly attitude of the visitors was
worth a dozen victories to them and
all true sportsmen should take off
their hats to Turner and his team.
The only runs of the game came in
the fifth inning. Booth opened the
inning by striking out. Drevenstedt
was hit by a pitched ball and scored
when Frank Chandler dropped one
over the left field fence for three
bases. Chandler scored on Flowers
long fly There were many oppor-
tunities to score but in every case
the necessary hit was lacking.
