FLORENCE.
Newsy Letter From A Good Town
and Community.

Pleasant and seasonable wealth
er has prevailed for the past sew
eral days.
Although Monday was Labor
Day it was not rigidly observed;
bit the school opening exercises
that day afforded entertainment
for the laboring man who was not
very busy.
The 1888 session Of the
Stems Creek High School here in
Florence was opened Monday
morning with goodly number Of
patrons and friends of the insti-
tuition in attendance. The exer-
cises were simple-consisting of
a song, prayer, and few short
speeches by Rev. Williams, pastor
Of the Methodist church, Rev. S.
I. Courtney, of the Baptist church
and some of the trustees. The
roll of pupils, we understand, is
fine for an opening. Under pres
sure that is now being brough to
bear everywhere to procure
school and college attendance for
the current school year, it is high
ly probable that schools every
where will have a larger roll of
pupils than heretofore.
Partial result Of the Baptist
protracted meeting held here a
week or so back was shown last
Sunday night by the baptizing in
the church pool, of IL young peo-
pie, half of the number appeared
to be under IL years Of age.
There are others to bebaptized at
some future day. About 16 alto
gether professed religion and be-
came candidates for this solemn
ordinance.
Mrs. r. N. Whitfield is the de-
ligheted entertainer, the past few
days, of her sister Miss Katie
South, who has been up in the del
ia as home demonstration agent in
Bolivar county for nearly two
years. She is, at present, taking
a rest a few weeks, and will then
proceed to Poplarville to be home
demonstration agent for Pearl
River county. She is under the
direct order of Miss Susie v.
Powell, the state demonstration
agent.
If the terrible war in Europe
is fought by our allies for chris
tian democracy, and that every
individual may be enabled to
worship God according to the
dictates of his or her own con-
SCIENCE" is not the war, then,
for Gods side of all questions :?
Is it not a rial fight for God and
His great cause? If it is a fight
for Gods glory and for His pur-
poses, what are we christians,
socalled, who claim God is our
Lord and Master, doing to keep
God in this fight? Isn't there
some thing of false or of hypoc-
racy about our profession as
christian when we fail to take a
hand in this religious contest?
To every socalled christian man
or woman engaged nowadays in
saying something, doing some
thing, giving something in the
way of doing his or her part in
the fight while our sons, broth
ers and fathers are faithfully,
unflinching1y doing their part in
the fighting grounds 'over
there" Are we christians in fact
if we fail to do our part at home
for God, our Master? The unre-
generated soul of soldier in the
firing lines is long ways the bet
ter christian today than the So
called best christian man or wo-
man at home who says nothing,
does nothing, gives nothing to
keep God in the fight.
