John Xersba w, Sand ay ? 24th May, and at out' request he has -^^Bowed us -*e give It to - -readers who ^wiH doubtless enjoy, as we have, the perusal of this interesting historical rt_ discourse : "y :~ ?St. John,xiv, 26: "Tbe Comforter whidtis tbe Holy Ghost," * Standing ' at the prayer-desk on Wednesday afternoon last, w hi le we san g those beautiful words so foil of sacred associations, "Softly now: the. light of day, fades .upon, my sight away," my eye rested upon the legend inscribed on % r"tbe^n_tr?" wmdcw. in the triplet at the ;end_of the chancel, "The Comforter whtc%? tue Holy Ghost." <&noecting it-with'the fact that the next Sunday -(to-day) would be Whit-Sunday, the Festival of the Holy Spirit's descent, 'and with the further fact that this _bears the name of the JIoly--j occurred to'icc-that we Lfe propriety make this Annual Parish Day, its ?A It were, to be henceforth observed with special solemnity and . ..hallowed joy, suitable.to an occasion of such great interest to us This year ' we are not prepared to do s?, owing to the want of timely notice, bat if we are ?pared natii ' another Whit-Snnday, let us then strive to_eeIebrate the festival .joI our na?iyity wjth* becoaing marks and symbols of rejoicing. ; . . . And tbe time of this suggestion is -most opportune, -because on May 25th, 1857, just'28 years ago lacking one day, it is recorded that the first regular services of the Episcopal Church known in. Som ter, with the exception-of a few held by a Mr. Elliott in the Court House in 18 1 or *52, were given in --the Presbyterian- Church by the Kev. Thomas-F. Davis,-Jr., through the --courtesy of the. Bev. Mr., /afterwards ~ Dr. McQueen^ who- for *o long a time was its pastor. Mr. Davis says, "The : kindness and courtesy of Mr. McQueen was very pleasing." Yes, and Jet us of to-day acknowledge it gladly?now that both he'who penned those simple but* * expressive words, and ne of whom they were written, have fallen asleep, and are resting in the Paradise of God from their iabors, where there "are no Pres byterians and no Episcopalians, bat all are one io Christ Jesus. And let asi lay upon -tbe last resting place of that kind and courteous servant of God, oar garland of sa^'itfied remembrance, in the form of t? humble tribute of grat itude for his g?nerons and Christian act in inviting our first Missionary to ose his Church for a service then, as now, - to many unacquainted with it, strange and new, and mach spoken against. It was no ordinary act?no common cour tesy, and therefore it is meet thus to recall the man who performed it, and tbe manner in which it was performed, and to bear them both in grateful recol lection. A month after this, Mr. Davis visited Sam ter a second time, and was tendered the use of tbe Methodist Church. It is not said who was the minister, but whoever he was, he de -terves, and his brethren who consented to the offer, deserve our kindly remem brance and thankfulness. They went out from as about 100 years ago, and what a sight it was to see the daughter thus making way for the Mother Church and giving her an opportunity to make herself known ia a community where the younger had preceeded the elder by a good many years. The congregation quite large, responded better and stronger than last month?they seemed interested in the service, and fixed at tention was paid to the preacher, says Mr. Davis. He adds, "Many who were present, had never before attended an Episcopal service, or, to their knowl edge seen an Episcopal clergyman. Kind feelings were expressed, and a little surprise maoifestedthat no Popery or dead formalism, or loose doetrioe, was to be detected io the services." Such an ctterance is calculated to excite a smile of wonder as we read it, because we who know the Cburcli would bewiore surprised than anybody else, should any such objections properly lie against her services, or against those who con duct them, proviied only they be lojal to their trust. True, what is called ritualism" is practiced in some of our churches, bat even in them the thio^s done are only an exaggeration of the use and importance of outward forms and ceremonies, meant, they claim, not to teach false doctrine, bat to symbolize by means of sacred object-lessons, truths that arc otherwise apt to be for gotien or overlooked. To see ourselves - as others see as, let me quote from Dr. Chalmers, a very emioent divine of the Kirk of Scotland, who said of our Church. "The theological literature of j our nation stands indebted to that j Church -for her best acquisitions." Win. ! I Penny, Advocate, of Edinburgh, said **lts massive learning is the very bul wark of Christianity. Its exquisite liturgy, second in divine composition only to scripture itself, binds in one chain of prayer, the hearts of its mem bers, and the hearts of generation after generation." Dr. Barnes, of Philadel phia, a well known CommcQtator, after a eulogy oa t&e Church of great beauty, says of some of our distinguished Bish ops, "Such names, with a host of others do honor to the world. When we think of them we ?iave it not in our hearts to utter one word against a church which has thus done honor to our race, and to our common Christianity." Dr. Adam Clarke, another distinguished Commen tator, and one.of the brightest lights of the Methodist Church says, *'I consider the Cha-oh cf England the purest na tional Church io the world. I was brought up in its bosom. I have been a Methodist for -00 years ?nd a preacher 43 years, and i am greatly deceived indeed, If I be not, without any abate ment, a thorough member of the Cburch of England. I reverence the Liturgy next to the Bible." j Strange indeed would it be if taere ^puld :be" found in a Church whereof -euch? language, and the like, had teen truly used by those not of the commun ion, anything really objectionable either in her doctrines, ^er services or her sacraments. But let us pais on. During the sec ond visit the subscription's for a church rose to about ?800, and a month later so much more had come in that it was determined to purchase Mr. Bartlett's tot. Services at this time were held in the third story of a building that stood between the stores of Messrs Solomons and Mo'naghan. In January, 1858, Bishop Davis administered Confirma tion to 4 candidates. In that same up per room the ?rst Baptism and Marriage in the infant parish were celebrated, Mr. John T. Branson being baptized and confirmed the same day, and Mr. James P. Ard and Miss Martha Keays married September 20, 1857, by Mr. Davis, the Missionary. The subscription for a Church build ing amounted at this date, Jany./58, to ?2700? $1400 from Sumter, ?600 from Stateburg, ?300 from Clarendon, and smaller sums from' Cam den, Brad ford Springs, Georgetown, Waccamaw and Pee Dee, Charleston and Cheraw. Some of these, notably Charleston and Clarendon, have recently repeated their kind aid in assisting to build the very substantial and convenient rectory on the lot adjoining. Let us not cease to remember these in our prayers to God always for their works and labor that proceedeth of love, which love they have showed for His Name's sake, in that they have, ministered to our needs, not grudgingly or of necessity, but lov ingly and cheerfully. ? It -is not re corded when the Church was consecrat ed, but Mr. Davis states that on the II th Sunday after Trinity,August 16th, 1858,the first service was held in the new ^Church which was then also the happy pos"seswrT>fa 6?>0 ponnd bell, afterward, taken down ancTij?ered as a patriotic gift to the ill-fated Confederacy^ Let us hope that ere long another such sionary may hang in the deserted spire, and from its brazen throat may send forth invitations persuasive and effec tive, both far and wide, catling to earth's busy toilers to turn aside- for a little while from the cares of the world and enter the courts of the Lord's House that they may receive the peace and benediction which the world cannot give. .: Mr. Davis* wise and faithful labors in connection with the parish came to an end in 1859, owing, it is believed, to his having been called t? the Church in Camden, where he continued to minis ter most efficiently until his decease in 1865 or 66. To him succeeded the Rev. Ezra Jones of Minnesota, who had charge of the Church at Bradford Springs' also, goit?g two Sundays a month to each Church. This arrange ment continued until the Summer of 1861, when in the great revolution then begun, Mr. Jones found himself obliged to leave the South and return to a Dio cese more in accord with, his views on pending political questions. A new phase of life was now. experi enced by tBciUtfe Church in Sumter. Grim-visaged war frowning with wrink led front all along our sea-coast, sent -hundreds of frightened women and children flying into the interior, seek ing shelter aud repose. Refugees they were called, sad and pitiful name, sug gestive of beautiful homes, the abodes of refinement and loveliness, sud denly . left, nevermore, in many {cases, to be seen. Suggestive S too of home-sickness and heart-sickness ! on the part of them that fled, for the sound of the surf wildly thundering on the shore, wheu the storm-winde went abroad on the face of the deep ; for the gentle lap of the waves on the beach as when on some brilliant moonlit night, sweet with the breath of flowers, and soft with the scent of the gentle South ern breeze, husband and wife, or maiden and lover walked the shining sands and looked skyward, and thought unuttera ble thoughts. Ah ! weil?it matters not now?these refugees came?they filled our vacant nouses, they flocked to our sanctuaries?glad to find a shelter from the storm of war, a reface from the fierce heat ot the coDfliet. Includine refugees there *?ere from 1862 to 1865 more than 50 families of Church people here, and it must ofttimes have taxed this little building to its utmost capac ity, to accommodate the number of worshippers that entered her gates. The Rev. A. R. Walker was then the Rector. He has preserved some inter esting particulars of that exciting peri od. One curious item is the fact that the Holy Communion was celebrated only once in every two months, owing to the difficulty of procuring wine? meaning the pure juice of the grape, which alone is considered proper to use in celebrating the Sacrament. After the skirmish at Dingle's Mill on 9tb April, 18G5, between Potter's forces and the mi?tia, the Church was used as a hospital for the wounded, aud during such occupancy, many of the books and vestments and other furniture of the j Vestry-room disappeared aod were car ! ried away. It seems that Bishop Davis I was here, administering Confirmation ! that very day, and left town only two ? hours before Potter occupied it. The I next Sunday was Easter and during the ! afternoon of that day, Mr. Walker says i "We met around the altar of our Lord I and commemorated his dying love in ? the emblems of his Supper" with full ! hearts. I The war ended, the refugees soon be- j gan to return homeward, and the ? Church was left with not more than 15 ' families whom she could claim as her ' own, but though greatly depressed iu ! means and spirits as was the whole Southern country, services were main tained as usual by Mr. Walker until he left in the latter part of 1865. Io May following, Rev. L. F. Guerry became the Rector and kept up services here, and at Bradford Springs, and Provi dence, St. Matthew's Chapel, in 1867 it is recorded that Mrs. E Buford died, "one of the oldest members of the con gregation and the chief instrument un der God, of building up the Church in Sumter." Her death was mourned ac cordingly. A vacancy of nearly one year now occured, but in August 1868, the Rev. F. B. Davis took charge as the Bishop's Missionary. Mr. Davis was a man of singular purity of heart and mind. He impressed every one by the sweetness and gentleness of his character and de portment, and when in 1873 ho was ac cidentally killed by a fall from his horse at Union C. H., there, was a uni versal feeling and expression ?f deep and sincere regret for the loss of one who so humbly yet beautifully illustra ted the Master's commandments, and faithfully walked in the blessed steps of His most holy-life. Rev. L. F. Guerry nest returned to the Parish and contin ued his ministrations until Jane, 1875, when he removed to Summerville, where he still is. The Rev. W. H. .Johnson succeeded him, but he remained only a few months, and nothing noteworthy occurred during his brief tenure. Eighteen months later, Rev. R. F. C?ate came to the Parish in connection with St. Mark's, Clarendon,and contin ued so until August, 1878. A period of great depression now ensued, it would seem,for not until January, 1882 were regular services held here agaio, the Rev. Theo. . Porter then entering on bis duties as Rector of the Parish and St. Mark's, Clarendon. It is not worth while to pursue this history long er, for the rest lies io the too recent past to require going over at this time. What lessons may we draw from this record of our history ? The Parish has had many ups and downs. This much is evident, but despite all its trials and tribulations, it has mac if es ted immense j vitality. A less hardy and well rooted [ plant, it seems to me, would have per ished ere now. Nor ehould we fail to commend the faithfulness of the few I who have adhered to this struggling lit tle Parish through all its varied history, ! hoping sometimes almost against hope, and loyal to the Church of their love, even in the darkest days of its adversity. May we not hope that this is but an earn est of what will be in the future, because we are still buta feeble folk, and noth ing but earnest and united work, with God's blessings upon it, can raise us to that position, which as a Church, we j would like to occupy in this commu nity. Not that I would wish you to be i narrow, illiberal or bigoted in your views of the Church, or in working for the- Church. Such a mind is; in my Judgment, out of accord wit1' the spirit of Christianity as well as its letter, but there is nothing inconsistent with it in a deep, devoted, unshaken love for this branch of the Church Catholic in gen eral, and the Church of the Holy Com forter in particalar. Therefore, do not love the others less, but your own more ^iet there be no spirit of rivalry and competition between ourselves and oth ers, sueltas Ijas too often disgraced th*^ annals of Christendom, but let our^^e "that noble emulation of who can best work and best agree." There was a time in the history of the Parish when by unanimous consent', the Church bell was offered'to the Government to be moulded into cannon, and when, moreover, had the call come, the car pets of ?isle Vnd'chancel would have been freely given for blankets to the soldiers fighting the battles of the cause which the people held dear. Dear as it is, we, as Christians, are enlisted io a cause that should be dearer "still-?--it dwarfs all other causes.; it is the great and magni?cent cause of elevating the world, of aiding in mankind's eman cipation from the slavery and curse of sin, tbe sacred cause of the triumph of goodness, righteousness and truth over evil, and falsehood and soul-destroying error?of making this earth redeemed by the Blood of Jesus Christ,a fit dwell ing place for Him the mighty King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Io presence of great dangers and mighty emergen cies, persoti al preferences are always waived, and we, who are fighting the momentous h-nle of eternal life?who are enrolled in the army of the Divine King, marching to our true home and rest in heaven, will we not rise to the height of our duty, and resolve that the faith bequeathed to us by fathers and mothers long dead and gone shall be preserved in its parity ; that the banner of the Cross held out to us by those nerveless fingers relaxing in the grasp of death, shall not receive dishonor and be trailed in the dust by us ? What an inheritance is ours! The faith and cause of Christ in our hands ! Think of the thousands of martyred dead, burnt at the stake, crucified with out the gates, giveu to wild beasts in the amphitheatre, scourged, imprisoued, sawu asunder, who died in its defense and confirmation?think of the many aillions of tbe saints of all ages who, living, upheld it, and dying, clung to and confessed it?our elder brethren in the strife?now waiting and watching eagerly for news of how tho battle is going ; think of Christian civilization with all that that means, as humanly speaking, dependent upon us; this is ! our's to claim and advance, or renounce I and let go. Which shall it be ? Men and brethren, tbe answer is with you, and may the great Head of the Church inspire us each and all here present wirb the desire and tbe grace to take up our duties and do them, to tbe honor of Uis Holy Name. A men. Let us all resolve, by God's help, that at least the Cburch of the Holy Comforter, Sumter, our special trust, shall suffer no lose nor detriment at our j hands. We owe it to tbe holy men who have ministered at this altar, now in tlic Paradise of (Jod, resting from their loved employ. We owe it to our child ren coming on, who have a right to - pect from us that their legitimate ioher ! itance be transmitted unimpaired and I uninjured. We owe it to ourselves, as ! representing tbe Church* of our English I speaking ancestry, the A?glo-.Saxon | people, of whose honorable record all j j over the world, in this as iu many other I respects we must fain be proud. We ! owe it to God that the flame of truth j ! and love shall not flicker and fail at j I this, His sacred shrine, by reason of j our neglect, but having made our vows ! to do Him true and laudable service, to keep and perform them uuto the end. I May tbe Great Head of the Church hoar and bless us this day. May the Holy Spirit kindle in our souls that fer vent love of God and our fellow men, which shall move us to uuitc and be one j in love aud good works?that wo may J seek first aDd always tbe Kingdom of God and His righteousness before all other things, and when the evening of our little day shall come, and the shad ows lengthen, and the night is at hand; when our souls are called to enter the dark valley of the ehadow of death, and our feet stand in the cold waters of the narrow sea that divides the heavenly land from our's, it may be with joy and not with fear that wc shall go forward to catch those words beyond all others rapturous and thrilling.
