Reported lor The News. s
The undenominational revival I
meetings, which are being conducted
by the Christian Crusa- 1
tiers, in.their large Tabernacle,
are continuing nightly, and the
outlook is encouraging.
Ah the people become better
acquaintedjwi'h the work, they .
are getting more interested.
Some of the more (-keptically
minded ones, who have been
studying the Crusade movement, *
p
are now convinced that the work
is of God, and that these workers
are earnest embassadors olChrist,
whose sole mission to Lancaster
* . ?
is to rescue the perishing and to
assist the nominal prolessors in
Retting upon a higher plane of \
Christian living.
The Home missionary work,
which is an impoitant feature ot 5
the work of the Crusaders, was
entered upon this week. Eighty*
eight families have been visited
' and prayer has been offered in s
seventy-seven homes. The workers
were veiy cordially received ^
in most ol the homes visited.
...? > |n?ocniru ill I11S
beauty and loveliness ?o the inmates
of these homes, their
r
spiritual eondition was looked ^
into and they were instructed ac j
cording to tlie requirements ol ^
the oracles ol God. In one of ihe '
homes, a sister, who had dieeovr
er< d t hat she was in a back slid
den condition, renewed her vows
to God, and was blessedly reclaimed
Others who were weak
and discouraged were helped on
their heavenward journey.
There was a large attendance
? c
out to iho meeting on Saturday
night. An instructive and beneticial
gospel ?^rmon was preach- ^
ed by Lieut. Marden, descriptive (
ol the ' Tarablo ot Ten Virgins," ^
from Matt. 25. All present were
exhorted to keep their lamps .
filled, trimmed and burning, and ^
in so doing, make the proper j
preparation to meet the Bridegroom,
and go in to the wedding
supper of the Lamb, lest they
have the sad experience ot the J
tive foolish virgins, who delayed
making preparations to meet the
Bridegroom, and finally found |
the door shut against them, (iodjl
poured out Ili-- -Spirit during the t
altermeoling, and 10 penitent ?
souls came to the altar, 5) of? ?
whom professed to be saved. i 1

The Liquor Question.
V Correspondent who Thinks
it Should be the "Paramount
Issue."
Mr. Editor: Some are interestid
in good roads; some are inter
sted in good schools. I am glad
f all this, but our paramount islie
should be the whiskey issue
t present. They say you can't
>ass a law which will keep a
nan from drinking. Agreed:
leither can you pass a law which
/ill keep men from committing
nurder, but that is no sign that
icenses to commit murder should
e issued in South Carolina. 1
rouId feel as innocent to offer
n official, say .$1000. for licenses
v/ o.?Y iiiv ueignuor as 1 wonI<1
o offer $1000. for licenses to sell
leverages for the use and pur>ose
of intoxicating him and in
in indirect way spill blood.?
Vill alcohol dissolve sugar? It
^ill. It will dissolve real estate,
lersonal property, gold, silver,
National currency, happiness,
ove, families, relatives and hu
nan lives.?There is nothing
letter to make widows, orphans,
mupers, poverty, police positions
itc., than a Dispensary, or bad,
icened or otherwise. Since the
onvictions at the March court,
he blind-tigers are opening their
iyes and beginning to see that
aw is law.
Wq need a little national legation
to prohibit the shipment
f whiskey in a dry county or
tate. That would be easily done
I the right men were to take the
ight notion.
1 like to see a progressive penile
progress. I would rather take
wo steps forward than one backward.
Never undo a good thing.
,et us hold to prohibition.
bet us vote for men that will
ive us prohibition and vote for
man for Governorthat will sign

efficient, and beautiful young
