Said I Not So? Said I not so, that I would sin no more? Witness, my God, I did: Yet I am run again upon the score? My faults cannot be hid. What shall I do? Make vows, and break them still? 'Twill be but labor lost; My good cannot prevail against mine ill: The buslneas will be crost. O say not so; thou canst not tell what strength ? Thy God may give thee at the length. Renew thy vows, and if thou keep the last, Thy God will pardon all that's past. noncf whiip thou canst vow. thou mayest. Perhaps, perform It when thou thinkest least. Thy God hath not denied thee all. Whilst He permits thee but to call. Call to thy God for grace to keep Thy vows; and If thou break them, weep. Weep for thy broken vowb, and vow again; Vows made with tears Cannot be still In vain. Then onoe again I vow to mend my ways; Lord, say Amen, And Thine be all the praise. DEDICATION IN BEAUFORT. y ! Tbe First Methodist Church In Bean? fort?Mr. George W. Williams's Impressions of ths Port RoyalVanderbllt Boom. Newt and Courier. Mr. George W. Williams returned to ft the city yesterday from Beaufort, where i, he bad gone on Sunday last to attend the services incident to the dedication by Bishop W. W. Duncan of the First Methodist Church in tbat ancient town. Bish op Duncan and Mr. Williams, wnue w Beaufort, were the guests of Mr, W. H. Lockwood. Mr. Williams said yesterday that the prospects of the church were very encouraging. But a short time ago the membership of the congregation was only fifteen, whioh has now increased to fifty, with a Sunday-school attendance larger than the adult membership of the church. Bishop Duncan preached a masterly sermon on the occasion of the dedication and delivered another excellent discourse on Sunday night. In the afternoon he also addressed the pupils of the Sundayschool. The Rev. Dr. E. J. Meynardie, formerly presiding elder of the Charleston district, is nastor in charge of tho new church. Meynardie, Mr. Williams said, was kindly reoeived by the people of Beaufort and will have their co-operation in the future of the church. Mr. Williams was asked by a Reporter some questions in relation to the alleged excitement at Port Royal in reference to the movements of Vanderbilt in thpt neighborhood. Mr. Williams said that so far as he could see the presence of Vanderbilt there was entirely due to the fact .. -ixi ?mi?e ^ pnr) toai me inuui-uniuunauc iuuuu ? Royal a convenient port on his homeward-bound trip in which to land from hi# yatoht, and that as a matter of courtesy the Central Railroad people sent him an engine to take his private travelling car from Port Royal to Yemassee. Mr. Williams said that he had talked with a number of merchants and business men from Port Royal, but that they had nothing to say about the Vauderbilt boom. As a matter of fact everything down there was running along just as usual, with the little natural excitement consequent upon the arrival in town of the great New Yorker. Mr. Williams said that he saw nothing from what he had heard and observed to indicate that there was any railroad real estate or other project on foot with which Vanderbilt had any connection. Children'* Day?May 15. The third Sunday in May has been set apart by the Geueral Conference as children's day, to be observed throughout our Church with appropriate services. ? - *- 1 - * - 3 1 Tne sunaay-scnooi n,uuor was cruereu iu prepare a programme for the day. The programme will be ready by the "first of April. It is simple and suggestive, and may be had at the Southern Methodist Publishing House, in any quantity, at 50 oents per hundred copies" I hope the pastor of every congregation and the superintendent of every Sunday-School iu the Sounthern Methodist Church will take a deep interest in this new movement. Nearly all ihe churches in our country have a "Children's Day," and all bear witness to the good 'results following its observance. Some devote the proceeds of the day to one benevolent object, and some to another. Our General Conference has selected needy Sunday-schools in our Conferences, Mission Conferences, and in our foreign missions, as the beneficiaries of the funds contributed on Children's Day. The object is therefore missionary, both home and foreign. The day will furnish a pleasant anniversary for the children, and will also help to train them avofamaHn Knnovnlpnpp Will pastors and superintendents everywhere take the subject in hand immediately, and have ample provision made for observing the Day ? The programme provides for only one service during the day-?the morninK?but suggests appropriate exercises for the evening. The whole day has been given to the children by a formal act of the General Conference, and I hope their rights in the matter will be fully recognized and respected. The collection with be taken up at the morning service, unless those having cnarge aeem some omer nuur mure huvisable. Ninty per cent, of all monej's collected (except special donations, which will beappled as the donor wishes) will be placed in the hands of the Conference Sunday-school Board ; and the remaining ten per cent, forwarded to L. D. Palmer, Treasurer, Nashville, Tenn. Let us do all we can to make the Children's Day pleasant and profitable not only the children, but everybody. It is the holy Sabbath, and all the exercises should be in harmony with the sanctity and associations of the day. May the Lord greatly bless this now institution of the Church! W. G. E. cunnyngham.

Maine Abolishes Capital Punishment.?The repeal of the capital punishment law in the State of Maine has been effected, and imprisonment for life is substituted for death in all cases of murder iu the first degree. Such convicts, however, are to be kept in close confinement, away from all associations, and no pardoning power is left to Governor and counsel, unless the convict is proved innocent. The amount of alcoholic liquor sent to Africa from the United States is, says Demorest, one of the most abominable outrages ever perpetrated on an unoffending people, and this, too, by a professed ly Christian poople. Shame on such unblushing villainy under the garb of religion. A verdict was given in Atlanta day before yesterday against the Air Line road for $2,000. The action grew out of the failure of the defendant to forward with a reasonable time 1,200 cords of wood delivered to it for shipment. W. S. Barnard, proprietor of the Wilmington (N. C.) Star, has been indicted by tne Cumberland County grand jury for publishing a lottery advervisement in his paper, said publication being contrary law in North Carolina. One of the best things in the gospel of Jesus iajthe stress it lays on small things. It ascribes more value to Quality than quanity. It teaches that Uod does not ask how much we do, but how we do it. To run a few steps will not get ;a man heat, but walking an hour together may; so though a sudden occasional thought of heaven will not raise our affections to any spiritual heat, but meditation can continue our thoughts and lengthen our wane tui our uearis grow warmer. The way which leads to life is narrow; and it is well to have a firm heart, so as not to totter. Pray Without Ceasing:. 'Twas once my way to sot apart Both place anil time for secret prayer; Now pray I always in my heart, And auialone though auywhere. This is what the apostle means when he admonishes us to pray without cccising. and in such prayers all words and brisk emotions of the heart are for the time tn suspense. Such prayers issue calmly forth, being in this respect like the solar light, whose approach we can not hear, but which is.yet accompanied by a warmth that testifies its presence. Yes, there is a deep, hidden .. _/ !...! ,i? urli toll couoquy OI IIUI^ suuia nuuuuu, .....v.. never ceases any more than docs the beating of the pulse in a living man. It consists in an inward tending and aspiring of the soul toward its source, and although calm and silent, it influences and governs all the thoughts and volitions of him in whom it takes place. There are instances of the earth sending up from its lowest depths a tepid breath, scarcely perceptible to our senses, but which permeates the waters upon its surface, and impregnates them with mtdicinal virtues. And it is even so with the prayer peculiar to the man of piety; it hinders him in none of his avocations; rather where it obtains do these all thrive and prosper. And, dear reader, if thou wouldst acquire this peculiar kind of prayer, which transcends both place and time, thou must begin with the humility o! a child to pray at the particular place - /-t-j *i appoiiuea oy uruu im III C |/Ui j'VCV, j which place is the sanctuary or the silent closet. Prayer is an art, and every art requires to be learned with pains. Do not, therefore, shrink from what may seem to thee the trouble of attending at the time and place which God has been pleased to assign. All art, however, by slow degrees, becomes at last a second nature; and so, likewise, a3 thou wilt find, does the art o! prayer. And when thou slialt have attained to such proficiency thou wilt no more, "either at this mountain or in Jerusalem, worship the Father;" but will raise the memorial of his name at any spot 011 the face of the earth. Lord, I keep silence before thee, and suppress all feelings and desires of my own, in order that thou thyself mayest speak within me. Let the light of thy countenance shine in upon my soul that the prayers, both of my lips and my heart, may always be well-pleasing to thee. Soul, bid thy tosslngs cease! Down in the deep profound, Sink to thy being's ground, And there tlnd peace. Thy God Is at thy side! Oftshoot of him thou art; And so with thee his heart Must still abide. When the loud tempests blow, And ou the angry main The waves roar back again, 'Tis calm below. Happy such calm who knows! In that which shows us best That on firm ground we rest, Is dtep repose. [A. Tholuek, D. D, Improprieties of Church-goers. (1) One of these is that of converting the church yard into r.n arena for political and railroad discussions and other secular subjects, which are so unbecoming the place and time that we deem the* simple mention of them as being all' that is necessary for the present. [2] Irreverence is another, being manifested by words and actions, that indicate an ignorance or disregard ol the sacredness of the place, which i.s uissuniiar 10 iuoscs jhiumi^ uh ma shoes before the burning bush at IIo? reb, the mount of Uod, tor the place whereon he stood was holy ground. Our Directory for Public Worship, Chap. 3, Sec. 2, says, "Let all enter the assembly and take their seats or places, not irreverently, but in a grave and seemly manner." If there be a place under the sun where men may he indulged with proud looks and a lofty mien, that place is not the house of God. | [3] Listlessness or inattention j come* in among the improprieties. It ! is due to ourselves, to the audience, to j the minister, and, most of all, to the ! Lord of the house, that on entering the sanctuary we put ourselves in the posture of hearers if not of worshipers. How far from that posture are they who are inattentive to the exercises, and receive no benefit therefrom while indulging in vain looks and in carnal imaginations. [4] Perhaps it has not occurred to our readers as falling in the category of improprieties, the practice of our referring with some frequency to our HMifohftt. ? cirrlit r\f t lin W'llinll practice produces the impression on his mind that we are tired of the sermon and would be pleased to have it brought t9an end. Let us not in apparently so small a matter as that of i looking at our time pieces during seri mon offend against a rule affecting our ; minister's comfort and power to do 1 good. [5] "What puts our church-going in Isuch haste to get out of the church? | They seem to be restless. "Iremcus," of the New York Observer, on one occasion in a certain church counted fourteen men who drew on their overcoats while the minister pronounced the benediction. We have seen somei tiling in our Southern churches equivalent to this. Men, women and children making haste to get out of the house, as though the house were on fire, and when they are out and have gotten into their vehicles their driving is scarcely in keeping with the sacredness of the place where they have been, or with thesacredness of the day which they have been attempting to observe. J. B. To Ministers of the Gospel. "I appeal to you, ministers of the gospel of peace. Do you say that you i preach the gospel, which is sufficient to bring about the millennium, and I therefore there is no need of Peace Societies. I demand an auswer to these two questions. If the gospel does indeed allow nations to settle their differences by an appeal to arms, how lean the preaching of (he gospel pro! duce peace? and if the gospel does not I allow of war, why are not Christians told so by their ministers? Are not Christian nation the most blood thirs| ty and ferocious of any nation under ! heaven?'.he terror of Pagans, and the | scoff of Jews and infidels? But ministers have preached; yes, and they j have prayed. Prayers have ascended | to God from chaplains of contending armies and fleets, prayer against pray' er. Nevertheless, I do indeed believe that the preaching of the gospel is the i most efficient means of bringing about I the millennium ; butitmustbeprenchj ed in a different manner from what it ! has been preached for the last fifteen hundred years." -??? If civil service is so good a thing why was it not required that the clerks to the railroad commission should pass competitive examinations? Many go out for wool and return shorn. GRAINS. Dull songs and dull sermons are twill brothers. We seldom' heartily praise those who do not admire us. Our pride is often increased by what we retrench from our other faults. Piety is the spring, the guard, the refinement, the glory of morality. In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up that makes us rich. Any feeling that takes a man away from his home is a traitor to the household. Christians, to use a familiar figure, arc like coals?they will burn brighter when gathered into heaps. It is much easier going out of our way when we are in it than getting into it when we are out of it. To do the right thing at the wrong time may defeat the object as effectually as if a wrong thing had been done. The love of Christ is not an absorbing, but a radiating love. The more we love Him the more we -shall love others. Stealing never makes a man rich, alms never makes a man poor and praying never hinders a mau's business. One of the finest qualities in a human being is that fine sense of delicacy which renders it impossible for him ever to be an intruder or a bore. The man who refuses to give his erring brother a chance to recover himself exhibits the spirit that fits him for the companionship of devils. Niuety-niue out of every hundred of the stalwart men and the influential women of to-day came from an ancestry of hard knuckles and homespun. There is plenty of work to-day for all kinds of people, if they were not too proud to do it. It is difficult for some people to believe that anything is more honorable than idleness. We die in concert. The grave is the great city. It hath mightier populations, longer streets, brighter lights, thicker darknesses* City of kings and paupers. Great city of silence. What the world wants is a religion for ordinary people- We spend too much of our time in twisting garlands for remarkables, and building thrones for magnates, and sculpturing warriors. There are many bad things about human nature, but there are many good things about human nature, and one of the best things about human nature is that it sympathizes with one ...1. _ i i..? i wu? is iriMiuutru. The manners of a Christian ought not to be something which can be put off and on like a garmeut, but they ought to be a product of his religion, the outward expression of a heart that is under the*influence of the Spirit of Christ.
