Pickard, Columi bin, S. C. tf A MINISTER'S uEPARTURE. Kev. C. P. Scott's Farewell to his Congre gation-A Beautiful Night Scene at the Union Service-"The Tie that Kind,' Can Never be Broken. The union service was opportunely eld at the Baptist Church which ena led the retiring pastor to take final eave of the churches, (he had preached thrilling farewell to his own people in :he morning), for the assemblage was arge and represented all the congrega ,ions of the city. On the rostrum sat Dr. Coz'y, of Aveleigh (Presbyterian) Church, lev. Ir. Schaeffer of Luther Chapel, Rev. 1fr. Wightman of the Methodist 'hurch, and Prof. Fox of Newberry "ollege, each of whom took part in the nteresting services of the occasion. It miust have been a pleasant sight ,o these ministers and 'specially so to :he pastor, as the sweet tones of the >rgan were heard in the voluntary, :o look down upon the reverently tssembling audience that had conic ;o the hour of prayer that they might 'ear the last words of the minister who vas to depart on the morrow. To us it was a beautiful and instruc ;ive scene, and told of the great work >f spiritual unity now nioving Christen lom, and that will develop finally into ome form of organic unity upon a rue basis of Christian fellowship. The sermon was preached by Mr. cott who chose as his theme the rela ions existing between Nicodemus and he Master. After reading the por ions of St. John's Gospel in the 3d, rth and 19th chapters, which refer o his visit to the Great Teacher by ight, his defence of Him before the anhedrin, and his presence at the bu -ial of the Crucified Lord, he defined he difference between a wavering, racillating, impulsive faith (which to lay strews flowers and sings hosannas o the King and, to-morrow, cries 'away with Him; crucify Him!") and t faith that is fixed, pronounced, reso ute and restful. The speaker then grouped hs ;houghts in three eloquent passages, he first of which was a graceful por :rayal of the night scene between icodenus and the Great Teacher in rsrael. Nicodemus, the polite and cultured Pharisee and leader among the Jews, sonvinced that Jesus was indeed the ~hrist, and that he had need of Him, nodestly seeks the Saviourat his hum le abode in the quiet of the evening hat he might learn of Him the Truth. Che interview was happily related. The next scene was the defence of he lowly Nazarene by Nicodemus be ore the Sanhedrim, in which he put he Court to open confusion by causing betrayal of its ignorance of the Scrip :ures. The interval between these im Dortant occasions was a period of.about bree years. The closing scenie was the appear ince of Nicodemus at the tomb with ~pices to give Himi decent sepulture. fhe multitude had returned to the city, the sun was declining and the shades >f approaching night were about to close upon the sorrowful event. A little band of followers alone remained in ;he shadow of the cross, and toward these (lid he come weighted with aro tnatic spices for the precious body of the most illustrious of suf1'erers and the most princely of nmen. Nicodenmus, like Joseph of Arima thea, had been a secret friend of the Nazarene, for prudential motives; but now his faith is pronounced, and lhe eonfessed openly. Yet with the burial 4 the Lord he disappears from the acred Narrative! He was deposed from afice, beatens and banished, but found refuge under the sheltering roof of his supposed kinsman Gamialiel. A t thie close of this thoughtful and eloquent discourse Mr. Scott bade a-n afecting adieu to the congregation and to the clergymen wbo were with him. Rev. C. P. Scott is as logical as he is fluent in eloquence, and adds another name to the list of distinguished minis ters that have occupied the pulpit of the Baptist church. He had entered the fifth year of his ministry in New berry, and .left for his new field in Warrenton, Va., with the sympathy and respect of a large circle of friends and admirers. The Easter Festival. The Newberry Lutheran Church made special preparations for Easter Sunday. The church was nandsomely decorated with flowers and evergreens. Large arches of evergreens spanned the pews under the gallery, and a large arch rested on columns of ivy in the p'lpit recess. The motto on this arch was in gilt: "Glory be to Thee by whom Death is Swallowed up in vic tory." Underneath the arch in ever green suspension were the words: "Worthy is the Lamb that was slain." In the left aisle a large white cross covered with pure white flowers and surrounded at the base by pot plants was a most attractive feature of the decorations. The chancel railing wasu entwined with ivy and pink honey suckle, and geraniums and ferns were neatly displayed around the front o1 the pulpit. The desk and pulpit weri covered with white satin draperies. The decorations were much admired, and were prettier than for severa years. Rev. W. C. Schaeffer, the pastor, re ceived four new memibers at the morn ing service, and one hundred and forty persons partook of the communion.
