???WW??B?M The Press and Banner Wednesday, Nov. 4, 1885. THE INSPIRED BOOK.. The lecture of Prof. Miller of Ers - ? - - ? " kine college, r?. v., uu tuc ence of-the Bible upon Mankind. Camden (Ala.,) Home Ruler. tTnless we had taken notes at the time of Its deliverery, we could not attempt to do full Justice to the entire original and striking manner in which our former fellow townsman treated this subject?so much written upon, and yet of which there is still much more to sayInstead of going over the usual route, and telling us, as so many speakers and writers ha ee done before, of how from the earliest records we have of revelation, among the Patriarchs and Prophets, It made them and their descendants who clung to it, a peculiar peo r>io 7firiinii9nf cood works:?vHow it crushed out cannibalism, condemned cruelty even to animals; established the family and home, eltvated Woftian and softened and rellned all the coarse and brusal propensities of men as they then were; and the following out its his- ! tory, a*, perfected by our Savior, it purified the immoral Romans, stayed the hands of the 1 murderous northern chiefs and their armies who poured down on their coast for plunder and slauKhter; and afterwards raised the only wall which first checked find afterwards turned back the Mohammedan hordes whose only instrument of conversion was the sword: instead, we say, of going over this oft trodden path, Mr. Miller gave us a few striking illustrations what was obviously his own way of looking at this vast subject. i One simile was so expressive, so suitable i that we shall try to cive those of our readers who were not so fortunate as to hear it at i iirst. hands, same idea of its appositeness and 11 force. "The Bible is a book very much like other books to the casual observer. Look at, a vol- j time on the shelf of a library of similar size < and binding, and one would scarcely note a difference. The hills of clay and sand and decayed rocks in and around the richest mineral deposits in California had been trodden over and some even cultivated for years ere any difference was seen between them and our own hills of sand and clay. But to those who die, to those who search, the gold appears. So also with the sacred volume. To gather its gold we must search for it." To receive a correct impression of the emphatic manner in which Prof. Miller unfolded and applied this comparison, one must hear him. His powerful voice filled our pretty little Methodist church so entirely that we suspect he has been accustomed to a larger auditorium, and his distinct enunciation and Rt.rikinpr pastures commanded the attention of his audience so completely that we scarcely hear J a whisper during the entire time it occupied. Of course on such a subject and in such a place, the usual plaudits by which an audience conveys its sympathy or approval to a speaker were not to be thonght of, but for all that, to use Brother Isaac's words (and where shall we find better?) we were much obliged. How Much Larger Does he Want it ? LaurensviUe Herald. A few days ago our friend Wilson of the ^46bevtile Press and Banner, announced that he would shortly increase the size of his paper to eight pages. That Journal is already of mammoth proportions?the largest paper, we believe, in the State. Hence, we are led to make '? the query, how much larger does he want it? The Press and Banner is not only of large size but contains an immense amount of reading matter, all of which?or at least all of its home firlnted matter?is set in very small type?sold nonpareil. While this is true, it is one of the ablest conducted papers, editorially, in Otnta nn>1 chAnrD n.mnrtnhlp Pnt.OmrlsO and intelligent industry in its general get-tip. We think,however, that our friend is making a mistake to chance the form of his paper. ;He already gives his readers more than full value for what they pay as subscription money. and we dare say (hat not more than one subscriber in a hundred reads all the matter the Press mid. Banner now publishes?more particularly the ready-print, or patent outside portion. And besides, in our view a weekly "paper does not look well in an eight page , form. Eight pages will do for a monthly or a dally, but not for a weekly newspaper, especially when one-half of it is ready-print. It takes the average reader, who has been accustomed to the usual form of four pages, too 1 long to learn where the marriages, markets and deaths are,?or even find the editorial?in a newspaper of eight pages. He becomes be- i fogged and lost in a wilderness of reading | matter. The octavo idea is rather a "new de- i parture" in the publication of weekly papers, .dui we aon iiiKeit. I J'jHow Much Better Is a Man Than a i Sheep." 1 Associate Reformed Presbyterian. , These are the words of Him who knew the ! worth of the soul and the value of human life. < Fallen as man Is there Is a dignity in him. He Is still the ( Dim miniature of greatness absolute! Midway Irom nothing to the Deity I Human life is something sacred. Divine law , and human law throw around it their surest ( safeguards. They shield it with their highest penalties and their most dreadful sanctions. But with all this, how recklessly men kill one another, in communities, too, where all the 1 machinery of Justice is in full operat ion. 1 The courts are now in session in this State, nnd the number of trials for murder may well 1 furnish food for thought toevery good citizen. ] This thing of law-abiding citizenship is growing obsolete. The land is tilled with blood. , A rw! vnt n?hor/i fho mor? fhnl io PAnvlntPfl 9 iiy hook or by crook the parties involved are ' cleared. The consequence Is that the killing goes on. We may expect to see this crime of < .murder, the gravest in the catalogue, increase, j Each successive sowing will yield a larger har- ' vest. Lawlessness begets lawlessness. It seems tbat man's life is something too sacred to be taken Away by hanging, but the quick j work of the handy pistol is defended amj justified. These things throw a dark shadowacross the future of this land. They raise the question, "Is not a man better than a sheep ?" ( Brutality. Columbia Register. If we flattered ourselves that anything the Register could 6ay would stop the brutality . .and crime now prevalent in tins .-Haw we would raise our votee in season and out of reason against it. But we see that, with all ' the incessant moralizing that some of our contemporaries Indulge in, the evidences of ruthless, barbarous, brutal violence, grows npnce. It is not newspaper talk that can stay , this flood tide of crime. If the courts and JurieR fail us here then are we indeed undone: and though the day of good stealing shall Jiave gone, the day of bloodguiltyness shall iiave ?cwne to take its place. Society either roust stand up in its might against the wicked men who would make a wreck of our civilization to gratify their evil passions unrestrained, or It falls to pieces as a worthless, faithless, craven aggregation that hath no ?ood thing in it and does not deserve to live. ,et our people beware. The Mortgage Business. It is a perfect land exhauster and home destroyer. Of all the people the farmers upon onU/tm H-A /lanonH hn tho moct Inrfp. pendent; they should be the class that the merchant should honorand respect, but when as la too often the case, he becomes the servant of the o?erchant, he loses thje place that rightfully belongs to hijii, It Is nothing more or less than a species of slavery that deprives the farmer of his independence, and It is a ghost that haunts him day and night, both oppressive and galling. In most cases making the farmer poorer and poorer every yeajr; and more than this, it is hurtful to the business of any community ; It benefits the few to the injury of the many; makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, and if continued will be the ruin of our land.?Fayettcville Observer. An Offer Which Wnlhalla will Accept, if She In Wise. Kcoxccc Courier. Col. A.C. Haskell, President of the Columbia and Greenville Railroad and its branches, Informed Mr. J. D. Verner, Inteudant of the Jown of Wnlhalla, last Thursday that if the town would grade and put the cross-ties down on the road from Walhalla to West Union, that the railroad company would do the ironing and other work necessary. Col. Haskell stated further that he did not have the iron just at this time, but would have it, he hoped, at an early day. Here is Walhalla's opportunity to have the long talked of railroad built into town and the cars runniug on the same. "What Is the town going to do in reference to the matter ? We shall see. Carolina Jerseys in Demand. \_Winnsboro News and Heraia.\ Mr. \V. H. Flennlken sold a few days since jto&r. Hurst, of Georgia?father of Miss Lulu, <:h.e Georgia Wonder?a fine Jersey cow. Mr. Hurst, alUsr his extensive travels and close attention to strains and individual markings, ns to capacity, and quality, purchased from Mr. Flennikeo, deeming his cattle among the best be had seep. This is no mean compliment to Mr. Fienniken's herd, as Mr. Iiuist had visited many noted Jersey farms.

My sndfaced love?it was fated In the dim, changeless long ago, i That meeting we should love fondly; And loving that we should forego. The days of contrition and penance nave come lor me wt-ury mi niuu, Dumb are the sounds of rejoicing, Ilusbert are the voices of mirth. The churches are keeping their Lent days With fasting and penance and prayer; I falter and wait un the threshold, What claim or right have I there ? I have folded my hands in mute sorrow, And have thirsted and prayed for your face, For one hour ot your matchless converse, With its ?ld-tiome witching grace, { Oft in the hush of pitiless might My sorrow sweeps over my soul. i Returning restless, unconquered, ] Beyond my weak, wavering control: I And I conjure your face up before me, Full of pussionate pathos and love, 1 And a perfect peace Mutters in my heart, < Like the finished flight of a dove. ( What is the mere fast of the body To the cruder fast of the heart? When hearts like ours love deathlessly 1 And, loving, must still dwell apart { But why 6houid 1 murmur? 'twas futeU, I turn to tbe anguish and strlte. Content, if your life is sheltered and pure, To live on the ashes of life. Rust proof oats. Just received our third and last car of oats this season.
