CoIORBD PEOPLE APPRECIATE
Talks Made by Their White Brethren
at $. S. Convention.

Editor Keowee Courier:
Please give me space in your paper
to make a few notes concerning the
Oconee County Sunday School Con-
vention (colored) We colored folks
Of the above named convention held
our meeting at Walhalla on the 23d,
Oath and 25th of this month, and we
had with us for Il short while Mayor
w. NJ, Brown, OF Walhalla, and Mr..
Geo. T. Morton. Mr.. Brown addressed
us on the line Of "CitiZenship and
Honesty He spoke mot as scribe,
but as one having authority" He
showed to us what it takes to make
citizens. He said "in all things be
honest, be true, be Intelligent His
words spread over our people like
kerosene oil on floor. He said that
al! one has to do is to keep within
the law, and ."whomsoever you serve,
serve honestly, for the workman is
worthy of his hire. We thank Mr..
Brown, and we hope to have him
with us OH other occasions.
Then came Hon. J. w. Shelor on
Saturday, bringing to us good news
and glad tidings. Mr.. Shelor put the
seal Of his hearty approval upon
what Mayor Brown had said, then
made talk on the line Of "Religion
as the Basis of Manhood" He said
that what 1T takes to make man is
the grace of God. He showed min
iature picture of Jesus as He en-
tered Jerusalem riding an ass's colt
The people, he recalled. threw their
garments and strewed palm branches
on the ground for the ass to walk
on as Jesus rode along. But as soon
as Jesus got off the ass the animal
was nothing more than any other
animal Of his kind. SO it is with men,
he said. When Jesus leaves a man he
is nothing more than the weakest Of
his Kind. Humanity rises to its high
est and sublimest perfection only If
the Spirit Of Christ is partaken Of.
We hope for other occasions when
Mr.. Shelor will favor us with his
presence and a talk. His speech last
Saturday was splendid. and 1t was
greatly enjoyed by all.

Paris, July 2S.--The most reyolu-

believe the human mind IS seated in
