-. II. Marion, ESQ, of Chester de-
liv, ed an address in the Yorkville
Associate Reformed church last
Sunday morning on furtherance Of
the Forward Movement by which the
church intends to raise a fund of
$3.50, 900 for Christian education. Mr..
Marion, who deseYvedly ranks as one
of the most able and eloquent lawyers
of the South Carolina bar, demon
strated in his address that he is fully
as much at home in the religious and
spiritual field as In the legal field. His
address WAS not only eloqhent but
eninently orthodox and practical. He
devoted but little time explaining the
need for the money, assuming that
this was beyond dispute; but he did
emphasize the privilege and duty that
has developed upon every church pem-
ber. in connection with the work that
has been undertaken. Ho represents
ed the great war as the result of a
conflict Of ideas and urged most ear.
nestly that the material part of the
conflict, that which involved flesh and
blood. machinery, applied science,
and things physical were only feeble
indications Of the mighty spiritual
conflict that was invisibly progress
ing above and among the fighters, and
this part of. thel conflict, he declared
is still going on with fury that is un-
abated, and that cannot be abated
until the final triumph of the dispen-s
sation that Jesus Christ brought into
the world and consecrated in his life
and death. The mission Of the church
and Of those who profess Christianity,
he declared, Is to establish as the con-
trolling law of human affairs the
Golden Rule, which commands that
what you would have men do unto
you do oven so unto them, sand obe-
dience to that new commandment
which requires that you love your
neighbor as yourself. He declared that
the great war would never have oc-
CURED under observance of. these
principles, and also he declared that
until these principles are established
in controlling and invincible power
throughout the world, Christianity
has not accomplished its mission and
protesting Christians have not made
good their professions. After hearing
his address. some Of the audience
who are not fully cognizant Of Mr..
Marion's splendid ability as lawyer
declared that he had missed his CALL
ing-tha. he should have been a
preacher.
