The Oconee County Sunday School
Association held it's session Sunday
at Richland church, and it was large
ly attended, and quite a number Of
the Sunday schools of the different
denominations in the county were
represented. Rev. H. B. Hardy, Of
the Methodist church, opened the eX-
ercises and conducted the devotional.
Prof. VIM. s. Morrison, Of Clemson
College, president Of the association,
in beautiful eulogistic terms intro
duced Mr. Rooster, Of Greenville, who
made most excellent address on
he positive and negative standard Of
religion. Mr. Rooster stressed tho
assertion that Christian should live
an aggressive life Of DOING, not
| stick TO the old Jewish theory Of the
negative life. He gave the parable
Of the rich farmer, whose harvest was
SO great that he had not room to
hestow his fruits and goods, and said
that this man had probably kept all
the commandments, for nine Of the
commandments contained "thou shalt
not" and this rich man had probably
observed them all his life, but his
failure wasin not using the goods
for the Lord. So in the parable of
Dives and Lazarus. There is nothing
In the parable to prove that Dives
ever broke the laws of chou shalt
not" bui the "Thou shalt love thy
neighbor as thyself"- Christ's COM
mandment Of DOING, was what Di-
YES failed to obey, and therefore he
was lost.
There was never, in all history"
said Mr.. Rooster, "a people who did
not believe that there Is a day Of
reckoning, day to give an account
Of the deeds done in the body, and
we shall be Judged by what we do
and not by what we do not do. We
are not only to keep the command
ments by not doing what God for
bids. but we should live a positive,
aggressive life Of doing, and not
negative life alone"
The next address was given by
Prof. d. w. Daniel, Of Clemson Col
lege, whose thcme was "Fighting the
Devil" and as the very name Of the
speaker and the subject selected
would suggest, the address was force
full and suggestive Of some effectual
ways Of fighting tho devil. Prof.
Daniels address was thoroughly en-
joyed by tho entire assembly:
The dim hour was period OF
the rare enjoyment Of the Informing
