Nov.- j there is a thick cioud of it, and sow 1 see :'.:o "whole city rising in a charv;' of sracke j hind steeds of tire. It is ^ i :I ::;a: set :he j city ablaze. The Amalekices 2>r teiiic-?: meet:- the trumpets of '.attic biovr peal on : peal, and there is a death hush- Then there is a signal waved: swords cut and hack: j;i? eiins ring on saieius; , and heads roll into the dust. Cash after { gash, the frenzied veil, the gurgling o:" throt- j tied throats, the cry of pain. ihe> laugh of j revenge, the curse hissed between clinched I teeth?an army'* death groan. Stacks of! dead on all sides, "with eves u'nshu: a^d mouths vet grinning vccgeancc. lluz:.-t for the Israelite?.' iV<5 hundred and ten thousand men "wave their plumes ar.d clap their shields, for the Lord God hath given them the victory. Yet that victorious artsy of Israel i? con-j quered by sheep and oxca. through j the prophet Samuel, told Saul :*.slay :;11 the i Amalekites and to slay ail the beasts in j their possession, but Saul, thinking that he j knows more .than God, saves Ac^?. ilic Area- j lekitish king" and five drove of sheep a ad a \ herd of oxen that he cannot bear ;a kill.! Saul drives the sheep and oxen down toward i home. He has no idea that Samuel. the ; prophet, will find out that he :i.ve saved :ae?e > sheep and oxen for himself. Samuel comes j and asks Saul the news from the batile. ; Saul puts on a solemn face, fcr there is no ; one who can. look more solemn than your genuine hypocrite, and he says, "I have fulfilled the command of the-Lerd." Samuel listens, and he hears the drove of sheep a lit~ ^ % " * * -v- , i. . i U tie "wav off. Sam iias no iaca mat p.-yjiu-, et's ear -would be so acute. Samuel says to ; Saul, "If jou have done as God toL'i you and f slain all the Analekites and all the blasts in : their possession, vcat meaneih the bleating! of the sheep in mine ears and the loving cfl the oxen that 1 hear?" Ah, one -wc-uld have ! thought that blushes -would have consumed j the cheek of Saul; Xo, no! ile says the > army?not himself, of course, but the army? caa saveu me saeep aou. u.\.cu ; and then they thought it wculd ce too bad anyhow to kill Agag, the Amalekitish king. | Samuel takes the swcrd and h-j slashes .A?-1-? to pieces, aud th?n be takes she skirt cf his ; coat in trua oriental style and ren<is it in i twain, as much as to say. "You, Saul, just; like that, shall be torn away from yo'^r etc- j pire and torn away from your throne." I:i i other words, let, all the nations of the earth \ hear the story that Saui, by disobeying Gtd, j won a flock of sheep, but lost a kingdom. ' I learn from this subject that Gcd will e\- : pose hypocrisy. Here Saui pretends he hus fulfilled the divine commission by flavir.?: ai: tee oeasts oeiocg-cg ?o me t and yet at the very moment he is telling ;h>. ? story and practicing the delusion the secret j comes out, and the sheep bleat and the oxen bellow. A hypocrite is one who pretends to ce I what he is not or to do' what he does not., j Saul was only a type of a class. The surd-: era hypocrite locks awfully solemn, whines when he prays and during his public devo \ tioa shows & irreat deal of the whkvs of -is : eyes. He never laughs, or, if ho does laugh. : he seems sorry for it afterward. c.s tnough 1 he had committed some great indiscretion. The first time he gets a chance he prays ; minutes in public, and when he exhorts he ? seems to imply that all the race are sinrers.; with one exception, his modesty forbidding ' the stating who that one is. There are a I great many churches that have two or three ? ecclesiastical Uriah Keeps. When the fox begin? to pray, loch out for ; your chickens. The more genuine -'iligion : a man has the more comfortable he "will be, I but you may know a religious impostor Vv j the fact that he prides himself on being r.n-: comfortable. A man of that kind is of im-1 mense damage to the church cf Christ. A; ship may outride a hundred erorrus. and yet j a handful of worms in tie planks may sink? it to the bottom. The <. hnrch of God is not j so much in danger o: tnc cyc;ones o: croucuc > and persecution thai come upon it as of the 5 vermin of hypocrisy that infest it. Wolves { are of no danger to the fold of God uu'es^ they look like sheep. Arnold wisof were j damage to the army than Corneal;:* anihis : hosts. Oh we cannot deceive Ged with s. j church certificate! lie sees behind the cur- ! tain, as veil as before the curtain: he sees ; everything inside out. A man may.

I c&anor save him: long prayers c:.sdc-: ?avc ] him; psalm singing and chur. jgoing c-uuot j save him. God will expo? hi-i just as j thoroughly as though he brr.auci upon his s forehead the word "Hypocrite." JIc u.;vy r think he has been successful in the deception j but at the most unfortunate moment the j sheep will bleat and the oxen will bellow. ^ One of the cruel bishops of olden time was [ going to excommunicate one of the martyrs, j ana neoegau m tne u=u;u lorn:. u ;ue name of God, amen."

Saul vraa told to s':ay all the Amaleliites and tue beasts in their possession, Ife saves Agag, the Aa:i!ekiie kiur. and some of the sheep- and oxen. God chastises him for it.

This is the tenor of i most of the correspondents' reports for the week. The exceptions relate mainly to excessive rains in portions of Berkeley, Cheater, Clarer.tlon, Fairfield, Richland, Orangeburg, Horry, Hampton and Barnwell, while in j spots over the central and western | counties more rain would prove bene-1 ficial.
