that this defect of Vision became the

Christians, but af .er that hard fall irom
v his horse he was a changed man and
preached Christ in Dimaicua till the
city was shaken to its foundation.
The mayor gives authority fcr his arrest,
and the popular cry is: "Kill him!
Kill him!" The city is surrounded by a
high wall, and the gates are watched by
the police lest the Cilici&n preacher

was terrible. Providcniiaily there
was a good stout basket in the hcu3e.
Paul's friends fiisteu a rope to the basket.
Paul steph into it. The basket is
lifted to the ed^e of the balcony on the
wall, and then while Paul holds onto
the rope with both hands his friends
lower awav, csirefally and cautiously,
slowly but surely, farther down
and farther dowD<? until the
basket strikes the eatrh, and the
apostle steps out and afool and
alone starts cn that famous missionary
tour, the story of which has astonished
earth and heaven. Appropriate entry
in Paul's diary ot travels?"Through a
window, in a basket, was I let down by

great results hang. The ropemaker who
twisted that coi d fastened to that lowering
basket never knew how much would
-?- depend on the otrengtb cf it. How jf it
had been brok<;n and the apostle's lile
had neen dashed out? What would have
become of the Christian church? All
that magnificent missionary work in
Pamphjlla, Cappadccia Galatia, Macedonia,
would never have been accomplished.
All his writings that make up
so indispensable and enchanting a part
of the Xew Testament would never have
been written. The story of resurrection
would never have been so gloriously told
as he told. That example of heroic an 1
triumphant endurance at Philippt, in the
Mediterranean euroclydon, unoer fiagel
iation and at ots Deneaains, wooia not
have kindled the courage of 10,000 martyrdoms.
But the rcpo hoidmg that
basket?bow much depended od it! So
again and again great results have buog
on what seemed slender circumstances.
Did ever ship of many thousand tens

Vessels of war sometimes carry 40 suns
looking through the portholes, ready to
open battle. But that tiny craft on'the
.Nile seems to be aimed with all the
guns of thunder that bombarded Sinai at
the lawgiving.. On how fragile craft
sailed how much of historical Importance!

An English ship stopped at Pitcairn
island, and right in the midst of surrounding
cannibalism and squalor the
passengers discovered a Christian colond
of churches and schools and beautiful
homes and highest style cf religion any
civilization. For 50 years no missionary
and no Christian influence had landed
there. Why that oasis of light amid a
desert of heathendom? Sixty vears before
a ship had met disaster, and one ot
the sailors unable to save anything else,
went to his trunk and took cut a Bible
which hi3 mother had place there and
swam ashore, the Bible held in his teeih.
The book was read on ali sides antil
the rough and vicious population were
evangelized, and a church was started,
and an enlightened commonwealth esiablished,
and the world's history has no
more brilliant nasre than that which tells
of the trasfeformatkn of a nation by one
book. It d:d not seeai of much importance
whether the sailor continued to
hold the book in his teeth or let it lali in
the breakers, but upcn what small circumstance
depended what mi^htj' results!

"How glad I am that we effected that

There are said to oe aoout o?,wu mmisters
of religion in this country. About
50,000, 1 warrant came from early
homes which had to struggle tor the necessaries
of life. The sons of rich bankers
and merchants generally become
bankers and merchants. The most of
those who become ministers are the
sons of those who had terrific straggle
to get their everyday bread. Ths collegiate
and theological education of that
son took every luxury from the parental
table for eight vears. The other children
were more scantily appareled. The
son at college every little while got a
bundle from hhme. In it were the socks
that mcther had knit, sitting np late at
night, her sight not as good as once it
was. And there also were some delica
j cies iruia me bioici o uauu uh. me ?w?cious
appetite of a hungry student.
I The years go by, the son has been or'
dained anB is preaching the gloriom gospel,
and a great revival comes, and
: souls by scores and hundreds accept the
gospel lrom the lips of that young
preacher, and father and mother, quite
old now, are visiting the son at the village
parsonage, and at the close of a
Sabbath of mighty blessing father and
mother retire to their room, the son
lighting the way and asking them if he
can do anything to make them more
comfortable, sayinsif they want anything
in the night just knock on the
wau.
And then all alone father and mother
talk over the gracious influences of the
day and sit: "Well, it was worth all
we went through to educate that boy.
It was a bard pull, but we held on till
the work was done. The world may
not know it; but, mother, we heidthe
rope, didn't we?" And the voice tremulous
with joyful emotion, responds:
"Yes, father; we heidthe rope. I feel
my work is done. Now, Lord, lettest
thou thy servant depart in peace, for
mine eyes have seen thy salvation."
"Pshaw," says the father, UI never felt
so much like living in my life as now!
I want to see what that fellow is going
on to do, tie Has begun so weii."
Oh, men and woman here assembled,
you bras; sometimes how you have
fought your way in the world, but I
think there have been helpful influences
that you have never fully acknowledged.
Has there not been some influence in
your early or present home that thfc
world cannot see? Does there not reach
to you from among the New England
hills, or from western prairies, or from
southern plantation, or from English or
Scottish or Irish home, a cord of influence
that has kept vou right when you
14 ? ?.3 ?
would aave gone asiray, auu wwu, alter
you had made a crooked track, recalled
yon? The rope may be as long
as 30 years or 500 miles long or 3,000
miles long, but hands that went out of
mortal sight long ago still hold the rope.
You want a very swift horse, and you
need to rowel him with sharpest spurs,
and to let the reins lie loose upon the
neck, and to give a shout to a racer, if
vou are going to ride out of reach of
voor mother3^ nravera. Why. a ship
crossing the Atlantic in seven days can
not sail away from them! A sailor finds
them- on the lookout as he takes his
place, and finds them on the mast as he
climbs the ratlines to disentangle a rope
in the tempest, and finds them swinging
cn the hammock when he turns in. Why
not be frank and acknowledge il? The
mo8t of U3 would long ago have been
dasned to pieces had hot gracious and
loving hands steadily and lovingly and
mightily held the rope.
But there must come a time when we
shall find out who these Damascenes
wpr* whn lnwAPAfl Pan] in tHft basket.
and greet tbem and all those who have
rendered to God and the world unrecogn'zed
and unrecorded services. That is
going to be one of the glad excitements
of heaven?the hunting up and picking
oat ot those who did great good on earth
and got no credit for it. Here the church
ha3 been going on 19 centuries, and this
is probably the first sermon ever recognizing
the services of the people in that
Damascus balcony. Charles G. Finny
said, te a dying Christian, "Give my
love to St. Paul when you meet him."
When you ana 1 meet him. aB we will, I
shall ask him to introduce me to those
people who got him out of the Dsmas
cene peril.
Once for 36 hours we expected every
moment to go to the bottom of the
ocean. The waves struck through the
skylights and rushed down into the
hold of the ship and hissed against the
boilers. It was an awful time, but by
the blessinz of God and the faithful
ness of the men in charge we came out
of the c} clone, and we arrived at home.
Each one before leaving the ship
thanked Captain Andrews. I do not
think there was a man or woman that
went off that ship without thanking
Captain Andrews, and when years after
I heard of his death I was impelled
to write a letter of condolence to his
family in Liverpool.
Everybody recognized the goodness, I
the courage and the kindness of Captain
Andrews, but it occurs to me now that'
we ne ver thanked the engineer. He j
stood a way down iD the darkness amid
the hissing furnaces doing his whole
duty. N obody thanked the engineer,
but God recognized his heroism, and
his continuance, his fidelity, and there
will be just as high reward for the
engineer who worked out of sight as
the capta/n who stood on the brideo of
the ship In the midst of the howling
tempest.
A Christian woman was seen going
along the edge of a wood every eventide,
and the neighbors in th^country
did not understand how a mother with

tering out evening by evening. It was |
found out afterwards that she went
thereto p^y for her household, and
while there one ever iag she .rrote that i
beautiful hymn, tamous in all ages for
cheering Christians hearts:

noise of usefulness will sit on the last
seat by the front door of the heavenly
temple, while right up within arm's
reach of the heavenly throne will be
many who, thought they could not
preach themselves or do great exploits
for God, nevertheless held the rope.
Come, let us go right up andaccost those
on this circle of heavenly throne. Surely
they must have killed in battle a
million men. Surely they must have
buried with all the cathedrals sounding
a dirge and all the towers of all the
cities tolline the national grief. Who
art thou, mighty one of heaven? "I
lived by choice the unmarried daughter
in a humble home that I might take
care of my parents in their old age, and
I endured without complaints all their
qnerolousness and ministered to all
their wants for 20 years."
.Let us pass on round the circle, of
thrones. Who art thou, mighty one of
heaven? "I was for thirty years a
Christian invalid and suffered all the
while, occasionally writiDg a note of
sympathy for those worse off than I,
and was general confidant of all those
who had trouble, and once in a while I
was strong enoagh to make a garment
for that poor family in the back lane."
Pass on to another throne. Who art
thou, mighty one of heaven ? J'I was
the mother who raised a whole family
of children for God, and they are out
in' the world, Christian merchants,
Christian mechanics. Christian wives,
ana i nave naa iaii rewara 01 an wy
toil." Let as pass on In the circle of
thrones. "I had a Sabbath school class
and they were always on my heart, and
they all entered the kingdom of God,
and I am waiting for their arrival."
But who art thoa, the mighty one of
heaven on this other throne ? "In time
of bitter persecution I owned a house
in Damascus, a house on the wall. A
man who preached Christ was hounded
from street to street, and 1 hid him
from the assassins, and when I found
them breaking in my house and I could
no longer keep him safely I advised
him to flee for his life, and a basket was
let down over the wall with the maltreated
man in it, and I was one who
helped hold the rope." And I said, "Is
tnat an?" ana ne answerea, -iuana
all"
"And while I was lost in amazement
I heard a strong voice that sounded as
thouzh it might once have been hoarse
from"many exposures and triumphant
as though it might have belonged to
one of the martyrs, and it said, "Not
many mighty, not many noble, are
called, but God hath chosen the weak
things of the world to confound the
things which are mighty, and base
things of the world, and things which
are despised hath God chosen?yea, and
things which are not?to bring to
naught things which are, that no flesh
giQjy ^ ^is presence." And I
looked to see from whence the voice
came, and lo! it was the very one who

A dispatch from Summerville to the

tbe amount of electioneering done. Xo :
poll was opened on the Colletoa side of .

is claimed that there is no authority in I
the statutes for the opening of this i

ity be made if their votes are received ]

at Mount Pleasant. {
Ten precincts out of the fourteen in <

in all the other counties, was light, be- <
imrahni;f, a two-thirds vote. The fall- i
iDg off injures Dr. Stokes. The total
vote polled in the county was about <
1,700, of which Di. Stokes received t
something over 1,000. These figures j
are not official, but are 'estimated by ?
the Columbia Register correspondent j
it Lexington. The following 13 the ,
detailed vote in Lexington County as k
far as heard from: "

Estimating from half the precincts in
the county heard from the vote falls off
Dne thousand from the Congressional
primary of 1892. Izlar's vote is 25 per
;ent. less than Brawley's and Stokes 35
per cent, less than bis vote of that year,
rbis will give Izlar about COO" and
Stokes 1,200"'votes in the county.
THE YERY LATEST.
The very latest news indicate thafr >
Sen Iziar is elected by a-small majority. ?
Dnly a small portion of Lexington j
LJounty has been heard from, ana tnese
returns indicate that Dr. Stokes has
carried that county by about 800, but
lis majorities there and in this county
will not be snfficient to offset the majorities
Gen.Jzlar received in Charleston
md Colleton Counties, which is put
lownat about 2,050.
Gen. Izlar elected.
All the counties have been heard
from, and the returns elect Geu. Izlar
Dy a majority of 500 at least.

THE BLAND BILL PASSED.

Senate
Washington. March 15.?A resolu,ion
wa3 ofTcrei by GalliDger (Rep.) of
Sew Hampshire and laid over tempera- 1
:ily calling on the Secretaries of the
rreasury and Interior for the names of
til clerks appointed, promoted, reduced
dismissed in their respective departments
since March 4, 1S93, with the
Statft to which each is credited. At -r
12:30 the Bland sei/Diorage hill wa3 ^
.aken up and Carey (Rep.) 0; Wyoming ?
joc tinned his speech begua yesterday ^
igainsl it. He characterized the bill as ^
he ^crst biow aim^d at silver siace the (
SeoioDStizatloa of silver in 1873. t
T-^e next speech on the subject was i
made bv Dcbois(Rep.) )f Idaho. He S2id 1
that he took do comfort ia voting for the 1
bill. It was not the kind ot silver legisia- s
Lion thai; suited him. He should like to e
rote for a free coinage measure. ;
The next epsaker was Mitchell (Rep.) e
if Oregon. He saiu that he should vote
tor the bill, not because ?e believed it ?
sveat so far as it ougfct to go in the ia- I
LeresL of silver as a money metal, but ^
because it was a move on the legisia- ^

tiill; and then he would vote for it with c
?reat Dlaeasure. t
Palmer (Dam.) of Illinois opposed the fc
bill, and quoted Hewitt's statement that s
it proposed to coin a vacuum. It was, t
indeed, he said, a vacuum, lor it was 1
idmitted that if the whole mass cf sil- s
per purchased under the Act of 1890 ^
were put on lbs market today it would j:
bring many mDlions less than the
amount necessary to di3char^-:- the Trea- g
3ury notes issued lor its purchase. JHe
believed the bill to be so defective c
Lhat the silver which it required to be *]
;oined would remain inerL in the Trea
jury, and that not a single silver dollar
could be put into circulation under it.
Pettigrew (Rep.) of South Dakota had
just begun an argument in favor of the 1
bill, when Harris rose aod ih his most 1
impressive tones said: "Mr. President, !.
the hour of 2 is recorded by that clock :
(point'102 to the clock over the main j
doorway) and at that hour the unaniin
ous agreement ot the Ssnate is that ihe t

Like I*.
Columbia, S. 0., March 13.?The
Jnited State.} government, and the
itate government are about to "mix"
iver seizures of contraband whiskeys.
Vkat will be the outcome of it no one
mows ana it will take time to decide.
Governor Tillman does not like tbe inerfArpnfiA
of TTrirle Sim's officers, and
a a letter which he sent to Collector
["ownes yesterday he says so. Collector
lOwnes is probabiy acting under in*
tructiorJS from "Washington and whatever
he does in the matter in dispute
vill be after hearing from headquartrs.
The trouble now on hand Is over the
eizure, in Charleslon last week of nine
>ackages of whiskey which had been
lirected to L. Eiias of that city. The
yhiskey was shiop^d here and 13 now
n the State Dispensary. Collector
Cownes wrote to Commissioner Traxler
aying claim to the whiskey on the
ground that it was shipped into this
rate in violation of section 3449 of
he Revised Statutes of the United
>;,ates. This section provides for the
eizure of any whiskey shipped in any
nannsr other than under* its proper
lame. For instance, in case a person
hips whiskey into this State or any
Itoto in a hr?v !ahf?1p<1 ''Ranon." or la
>eled any way except wiskty, the shipnent
i3 liable to seizure.
The packages seized in Charleston are
;aid to have been snipped in violation
>f the section named. In answer to the
:laim of Collector Townes Governor
rillman seDt the following letter:
"Columbia, March 12,1894,
'Eon. S. A. Townes, U. S. Collector,
Columbia, S. C.
Sir: Your letter of March 10th, refering
to a seizure made by State Consta)le
Gailard of nine packages of dis
liiea spirits iouua in uie suore ui u.
21ias, Charleston, S. C, has been reerred
to the State Board of Control by
Sir. Traxler.
rou say that ihese pack?ges are liable
o seizure under U. S. R. S., section
1449. We acknowledge this, nad the
Jnited States revenue officers found the
iquor and made the seizure, but inasnuct.
as the State constables seized it
irst and it has come into the possession
jf the State Commissioner a3 "contrajand"
under our State law, we deny tbe
ight of the government to take it from
is on the following grounds:
First. This liquor was not being
shipped, transported or removed " but
lad alredy reacned its destination.
Second. It was smuggled into the
State to evade the State law, and not
;he United States law, because it bears
ill tfce stamps showing that all revenue
axes have been paid.
Tnird. It is now in possession of a
state officer, under confiscation proceedngs,
and is to all intents and purposes
:he property of the State. It came into
ler possession by due process of law
md this fact should prevent the rev;nue
officers from interfering since sec
,ion 3449 could have no other purpose
>ther than to secure the pxyment of the
;ax.

thai; we want the matter setled'as
soon as possible. We have every
lesire to co-operate with the Federal

Tne State got even with Uncle Sam
esterday. During the morning the goyrnment
sold at the Federal building a
Dt of whiskey which had been seized
y revenue officers. CoJ. F. M. Mixson
72ls present at the sale and bought
jost of the whiskey for the State Disleosary,
paying 81.15 a gallon for it.
?here were several private bidders,

were Sam Harmon, who bought a

P. MnCarfcha. who bought si* ?ral
dqs of apple brandy.
Before the purchasers had paid for
he whiskey a warrant was sworn out
or its seizure and for the arrest of the
aen who bought it. The warrant was
worn out before Trial Justice Stack

Constables were plsced around the
building during the afternoon and we?e
ready to pounce upon the whiskey so
soon as it was rolled out of the front
door of the building and got from 0113
of the hands of the government.
It is not thought that the persons
mentioned will go for the whiskey today,
and the government will resell it.
Collector Townes says that it cannot
go out of his office except during office
hours, from 9 a. m. to 4 p. m. He also
says that he has nothing t > do with the
whiskey after it is paid for and gets
out of the builing. The constables can
seize it then and do what they please
with it so far as he is concerned.

New Haten, Conn., March 9.?
Hoadlev B. Ives, the millionaire bank
president of this city, one of tlie most
inflaencier ot Connecticut, became
violently insane this afternoon. The
deplorable fact soon became generally
known and caused the biggest kind of
a sensation in business circles. It was
first discovered that he had gone mad
when about 1:15 o'clock he entered the
house of President Wilbur F. Day, of
the 23 ew Haven bank and demanded
that he be released so that he might
prepare his dinner. He then rushed
out, came back with two boiled eggs
and a plate. After eating he became
so violent that the police had to be

was sent to the house, which is next
door to his office. His wife is out of
town bat friends came and medical
assistance wa3 called in. If he does
not recover soon, steps will be taken to
to take him to an asylum. He is 60
years old and is rated to be worth from
two to five million. He is president of
the Yale National bank, president of
the Fair Haven and Westvllle Horse
Bail way Company and is a heavy stockholder
in the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad.
An Alabama Sensation, .
Memphis, Tenn., March 9.?A special
to The Commercial from Birmingham,
Ala., says the biggest sensation of the
Alabama campaign has just been
sprung. Some time ago the Alliance
Herald, the official organ of the Klobites
began a warfare on Ben Dal a, mos,
secretary of t&e State Republican Campaign
Committee. In reply he pub
1 I 1
iiaiieu a caru iu several xrcuiucrahiv; papers
threatening to make public the
vouchers which would ahow that
money was paid to him from the National
Republican Committee two years
ago to Kolbites to help out the leaders,
wherecy the Weaver electorol ticket
was first supported by these two partis,
elected, was to vote for Harrison in
case a vote was needed to insure Harrison's
election. The Alliance Herald
bitterly denied these charges. The
Greenville Truth, a straight oat Populist
paper edited by J. M. Whitehead,
probate judge of Butler county, who
was on the weaver electoral ticket, but
who has since given the Kolbites the
shake, comes out in a lengthy publication
exposing the deal. The effect of
the exDosnra will be a stunnim? blow to
the Kolbites-Populist combine. Democratic
leaden say that this in itself is
sufficient to defeat Kolb for Governor.
A. Preacher Arretted
BmmxGKAM, Ala., March 14.?Rev.
A. M. Thompson, in charge of the
Methodist Church at East Birmingham,
was arrested near the close of his
sermon Sunday morning by two policemen
in citizen's clothes, and will be
taken back to Jackson, Miss., where he
will serve oat a life sentence imposed
upos him five years ago for the assassination
of a brother minister in his pulpit
while preaching to a large congregation.
The cause of the killing was
the appointment of the murdered man
to the pastorate of Thompson. He was
sent to the penitentiary for life, but
soon made his escape, fie came, here
about two years ago, calling himself
Rev. W. M. Thompson, and assisted in
quite a number of revivals, proving
himself an earnest exhorter and preacher.
His congregation was horrified a't
his arrest and can hardly believe that
the pastor is guilty of the crime alleged.
He is in j all at present and will
be taken to the Mississippi penitentiary
at once.

For sometime past the Lancaster
Review and some of its subscribers
have been having a controversy about
certain utterances of the Review. Last
week communications were published
in the Review from Messrs. J. F. Nis- *9%.bett
and James Cullins pitching into
the paper. The editor replies in a two
column article and among other things
says: "Brothers Nisbet and Cullins
seem to be nursing a grievance of some - ,
kind, but why do they come to the Review
with their jeremaide? If they
don't like the Review why do they read
it? Suppose that the Review is not
run as they think it should be run, -1
wnat ngnc nave tney to compiam or
its management? One of these broth- " M
ers is not even a subscriber to the Beview
and the other, though he has been
taking the paper for two or three years *
has never paid us a red cent for it.
And yet they have the cheek to tell us, % fl
through oar own columns, that the paper
is not being run to suit them?that 1
it hasn't done this and it hasn't done
that, which in their stupendous judgment
it ought ta have done. We are
always glad to receive suggestions
made in good faith by paying subscribers,
in regard to the management and
editorial conduct* of the Review, but it
makes 'that tired feeling' come over us
to have persons who do not contribute
anything whatever to the paper's sup
port rear up on their Mad legs, jerooalike,
and patronizingly tell us now to ^
attend to our own business."
