shows that fraud will come to . xros",;re. it i

Sarauel xv, 14. "And Sa::: Pa:-.:. V,;

For 400 year? this had been jrcin? <jn. an.* j
they say, -'God either dare not puni-.i u-j ; - r;o j
has forgotten to do so." Let us see. Sara-j

slay all the Araalekites, tot leaving one <"*:'
them alive; also to destroy all the brasts in
their possession?cx, sheep, came? and ass. ;
Hark! I hear the tread of JIO.OOU men. !
with monstrous Saul at their head, ablaze S
with armor, his shield daagliag ut bis side. !
ilOKXiag in HIS i:auu ajuui. .11. ..... ;
which the great host marched or iutUecL I ;
see smoke curling ajaiosi the sky. 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. '.hrcug'u |
policy, hide his real character, but Go 1 w-iil I
after awhile tear open the suited sepulcaer !
and expose the putrefaction. Sunday face? 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 [

Oh, my dear friends, let us cultivate j

i. learn further frcru this subject what God
'.neurit tiy extermination. 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. God likes nothing
done r>y halres. God wili not stay in the
sou! that is half his and half the devil's,
'ihere may be mere i-ins in cn'.r soul
tiiuu ihi-re vcre Amruckites. T<Ve must
kili th-i-'i. Vioe umo us if we -spare
Agag." Here is a Christina, lie says:
' I v.-iii drive out all the Anialekites of sin
v-r,-.. nwrt 11pt," is je&lousv?down
goes thai Amalekite. Here is backbiting?
down goes that Amalekite." And What
slaughter be makes among his sins, striking
'right and left. V.'hrit is thai out yonder
lifiing up his hea't'.' It is Agag. It is worldlings.
Itan old sin be cannot bear to
strike down, It is a darling- transgression
he CiJiuo! afford to sacrifice. Oh, my brethren.
i appeal for entire consecration! Some
Oi'the iVcsbytcrbns c-;;lit the "higher life."
The Methodists, I believe, call it "perfection."
' I do not care what you call it,
' vVuhont holiness no man shall see the
Tr,*..: ' t tvln-* nre livine with
their soul in perpetual communion with
Christ, and day by ilav are walking within
sight of hcuve'Q. How do 1 know? They

this consecration? V.'hy slay some of the
si'is iu our soul and leave e thers to blest and
bellow fur our exposure aud condemnation':

Agag. Vou miizl tiive up Agag r>r give up

1 team farther trotn this subject that it
is vain to try to defraud Gad. 11 era Saul
thought h* iia l cheated Cod out of those
shecep and oxen, but he lost his crown, he
lost his empire. You caanot cheat Gcu
out of a single cent. Hers is a man who

"Mr. President: Your letters of

to you for the attention giv^n to the

fortitude should equal their bravery to
is sure the success of cur cause. We
roust expect reverses, even defeats.
They r.re sent to tfach us wisdom and
prudence, to call forth greater energies,
and to prevent our falling into
greater disasters. Our people have
only to be true and united, to bear
msnfally the misfortunes incident to
war. and ail will come right in the
end.
'lI kucw how prone we ar-e to censure
and how ready to blame others j
I for the non fulfillment of our excec- j

I expression. The general remedy for j
I the want of success in a military com- {

on the 4th and Sth and scattered
during the remainder of t-'e week.

about a normal percentage as the average
for the State. *
CROPS.
Crops are in ^ood. condition and
growing well. 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. L lying by of crops was bin- j
uered by heavy rains, and grass is I
threacning many fields, although no j
harm has as yet been done. On the I
whole, crop prospects are decidedly J
better than at any time during the j
season, except for such as are matured j
nr riuenin? inc'iudiner neaches which (
are rotting badly, and melons which j
are inferior.
The greater portion of the corn crop, j
is being laid by, greatly improved by j
the recent rains. Some fields that j
were badly parched by the previous
hot, cry weather are revived and look .
promising. Early corn is about all in j
silk and tassel, but the stalks are low j
p.nd generally small. It is firing in j
Berkeley, due' to excess of moisture, j
and also in Darlington: Chinch bugs
continue todamsgeit in Chester and!
T.afo r>nrr> wirVinut.^vr>pr?tir?n is I

Cotton continues to improve in most j
sections. The exceptions are portions !
of Berkeley, Sumter and Hampton j
where it is too wet and the plant has j
begun to shed its fruit. I; is yellow |

the plant is very promising over tha j
entire State and in portions of Or- j
an ge burg as fine as ever seen. Sea- j
island cotton is growing vigorously.;

diticns whatever noted.

Slalone of Columbia*
There are some new facts and suggestions
in the new advertisement of
A. 2Sa]one of Columbia. But
they all relate to Ice'same subject?
the furnishing of first class pianos and
organs at lo^ prices. This is one of
Malone's specialties, and he wants
every performer and everyone who
looks to buying &n instrument to look
well to what -he offers. Write him
at once.
.A Change of But.
The new advertisement of the Seejey

important change?the removal of tbe
Institute from Columbia to Green

reasons for tee change; aud it is expected
that the patron? ?8 and usefulness
of the Institute will thereby be
be very much increased.
Indigestion,
From which springs, directly cr in

and sick iieadache never %epera

relieved and cured by the use of
"Hilton's Life for the Liver ana Kid

of its merit. Try it. Sold by dealers

This is an is junction that will bt
heedtd by ill who look to the promotion
of the pleasures of cthtrs. A
happy home is indeed the happiest cf
places. One source of happiness in
the home circle is good music. A
sure source of goo a ^>uiic is a good
piano?such as may be had from M.
A. Malone, Columbia, S. C. EL-ad
what he has to say in his new adver
tisamsnt:
Pye. superstition that
an evil eye may be
cast upon a person
to bring all sorts 01

J? people indulge in.
One won: out superstition
i6 the belief
that if a taan inherits weak lungs from
his parents he is pretty sure to die of consumption.
The actual fact is that if euch
& man will only take -Drover ?are of himsek
he will really be safer Irom coarjmption
than a carclcg3 person who has no inherited
weakness. Carelessness is the real evil eye.
Carelessness will develop a tendency to
consumption in anv body.
The lua$rs are composed of very delicate,
sensitive tttaue, even in the hcsl&iest parson;
fkat is why th?y yield so quidSly to tie
attack of tainted blood. If the blood is allow?d
to get impure and impoverished, and
bile-poisoaed, the seeds of consumption
will Spring up in Ac best hljid of a eeoatitutfon.

th? blood.
Hundreds of cas?s of so-called "hereditary"
consumption li*ve b&sn completely
