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!

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

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

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.
