The beergardens are crowded with people, the degraded crowd the streets of the lower city as the wealthy crowd the streets of the upper town and the Church seems absolutely powerless in her efforts to restrain or purify. Good men and true are studying the problem. My own opinion is the godless public-school has had more to do with this state of affairs than any single factor beside; and some day these very people, who have deified education, will find that when they turned over the shool to the godless State they gave up their only hope for saving the nation.

ED WORKMAN, Acting Secretary AN UNAUTHORIZED ACT. * iiv otnir uutii u vi jLAiuuiucin /mv cased of aui Arbitrary I'SHrpution of Power. The State Board of Examiners met recently, and in pursuance of the authority vested in them by law, prescribed several series of text books for use in the public schools of the State during the next five years. At the same sitting they promulgated the following extraordinary decree: "Any teacher who, while receiving public school funds uses text books in the course of study prescrided for public schools that are not on the State list, s hall forfeit his pay from the public school fund for the time he used them. The County School Commissioner shall withhold approval of pay certifieats (#" any teacher not conforming" to the rule. This strikes us as being the mostarbitrary usurpation of power that we have ever witnessed. If the Board of Exuminers can point to any provision in the statutes of South Carolina which empowers them to impose these severe penalties, they can (lo more than any lawyer in the State can do. It might or might not be a wise thing to enact such a law; but the Legislature has never seen lit to do so. The hoard is no doubt actuated by an honest purpose tojadvance the educational intersts of the State. It should not, however, lose sight of the fact that it is not the lawmaking power. Its denunciation isamere&n^wm fulmen. It may frighten a few teachers, but it will not coerce the refractory ones?Georgetown Enquirer. A horrible catastrophe occurred on the Lehigh Valley Railroad October 10. One section of an excursion train ran into the one just ahead of it and eighty persons met a quick death. The steaming engine plowed its way nearly through the last coach, this one crashed into the one in advance of it, and this one into the third. About 150,000 barrels of oil belonging to the Standard Oil Company were burned at the oil refinery docks at Green Point, N. Y. The fire occurred October 11. The steamer Queen, from England to New York, collided with a fishing vessel October 5, cutting her amidships. Twenty of the crew were drowned. 500 ballots in the Third Judicial District? Dargau 10, Gilland 8, Wilson 12 ?and still locked. The gin house of Mr. J. (J. Bodie, at Leesville, was destroyed by fire one day last week. The lire is supposed to have originated from a match in the cotton. Chief Justice Fuller was formally inducted into office October 8. Extracts from Christian Neighbor PrlNon SniMlny. At the Annual CongresH of the isationai rrison Association new 111 Boston, last July, tlie following resolution was adopted : JlcBolvcd, That the practice of observing one Sunday in each year as Prison Sunday, by the churches, which has been adopted in some States, is approved and recommended for adoption in every State in the Union, and that the third Sunday of October is hereby designated as a suitable day for tliis purpose. The observance of prison Sunday has also been approved and reconiemnded by the National Conference of Charities and Correction. Remember those that are in bonds as bound with them. The question of crime, its growth and its prevention, aud of criminals and their reformation, lias perhaps been too much overlooked in the ministrations of the pulpit. Pri<f0ii?oOctobcr 14, 1888. Sabbath last while other ministers in the city were preaching to congregations at large, I wended my way to the County jail where I was cordially received by Mr. Coleman, the keeper. He politely led the way through one iron door to another, through the bars of which I talked a while to eight colored male prisoners and gave them several religious papers. Next to the door of a white (?) woman who in tears and thankfulness heard what I said and accepted a few religious papers which I handed her through the bars. Last I was admitted into the room of a young white man whom I knew and who seemed glad to see me. He also was pleased to get a few papers. He spoke of the kind treatment of Mr. Coleman, the turnkey. Thoughts and feelings in the jail and on the way homeward different from usual attendance at church but none the less profitable. "Remember them that are in bonds, as bound with them. ' S. H. B.

Within a year or two, however, the agitation of the Fisheries question has aroused a decided feeling of animosity on our Northern border, while, in Congress, Senator Dolph's elaborate scheme for coast defences, and the several projects looking toward an augmentation of our navy, here met with considerable favor. And so it came to pass that when the Republican nominating committee this summer addressed itself to the task of framing an acceptable platform upon which its constituency might stand, there was found abundant space for our soldiers, for a greater navy, for augmented coast defences, but, alas ! (and in consistency's name, how can it be otherwise?) the beneficent principle of arbitration of differences had altogether sank out of sight! Nevertheless, it is cheering to perceive that the party of Prohibition announces itself as unmistakably committed to the arbitration of differences, international or otherwise. But I did not set out to writea campaign letter, I take leave of my subject in quoting with approval this sentiment from The White Ribbon? "Closer bonds of friendship between the women of different nations, may help to strengthen the idea of international arbitration in the settlement of all differences; that thus the whole military system, now draining the very life-blood and wealth of the people in the old world, may be completely overturned, and war, with itscrimes and miseries, ended forever." FROM UK V. ROWLAND H. HOWARD, SECRETARY OK THE AMERICAN l'EACE SOCIETY. The advent of the precious little paper, the Neighbor, reminds me of my purpose to write a word of fellowship before the meeting of the South Carolina Peace society. If we get lonely amid the deserts of indifference around us in Boston, and drop occasionally into conversation oil the mere talkedof reforms, how brave and true must one be to stand his ground, hear his testimony and re-iterate the truth in Columbia. Here are the old roots of former peace teaching. Worcester, Ladd, Burnt t, Beck with and Miles left their mark, though it has been obscured by the excitement of civil war, and gnawed by the moth of time. But South Carolina has a peace history, too. Judge Grinike's writings were not unknown to my childhood, and, if f remember rightly, your State had a peace society almost as early as Maine, Massachusetts, New York and Ohio. Why not stretch hands across "the bloody chasm" in the interest of nothing so much as universal peace. The "chasm" is fast Jitlinf/ up, so far as North and South are concerned. The cry that came to us from New Orleans, Memphis, Charleston, and now Jacksonville, is that of brethren in dis that war is often the perfection or patriotism, and full of "great glory," another believes that war is always low and abominable, and peace the sublimist of national glory. One says fight is right, when you fight for the right; another says, fight is wrong whether you fight for the right or fight for the wrong, as all fighting is eyil. One in blind sincerity prays to-a lifeless idol of wood or metal, another prays to the very living Almighty God, the creator and upholder of all things. Truly, education makes the world what it is, for good or evil, for wisdom or folly. Oh, how infinitely important for all rational beings to meekly and preservingly look to the Spirit of God to guide them into all needful truth?all truth necessary to the best, present, and eternal well-being of man. The Spirit of God is the best of all educators, and the only one that is not liable to lead astray. How truly does the above, from John Hemmenway, illustrate the universal truth that according to accepted teaching so is faith, and it may be added, that according to faith so is conscience, and that according to conscience so is conduct, and that according co conduct so is character, and that according to character so is destiny. "Truly, education makes the world what it is, for good or evil, for wisdom or folly." . Rev. I*. B. Jackson?'Trniislerod to CnlITornln. The Pacific Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, met in annual sessions in Woodland, Sept. 2G, 1888. Bishop C. B. Galloway in the chair. Among the appointments is this: Ukiah, P. B. Jackson. Ukiah is in Santa Rosa District. Anent the transferor Brother Jack, son is the Abbeville, (S. C.) Premt and Banner : Rev. P. B. Jackson has accepted an appointment or call to California. Mr. Jackson has been Pastor of the Abbeville Methodist Church for three years, and, as a worker, he has few superiors. His ability is acknowledged by all. The South Carolina Conference loses an able preacher in the departure of Mr. Jackson, and the California Conference gains a minister whose talents and active energy in church work will equal any emergency. Mr. Jackson goes to his new home with the earnest prayers of many people. May his life be long and continue to be as useful in the future as it has been beneficial in the past. Siifiis of the Times to Come. The Public Schools question in Boston lias arrayed Protestants and Romanists against each other. Whether it be the Public Schools or some other question that shall set Protestants and Romanists as in battle array, what has taken place in Boston will be repeated throughout this country?the way things are drifting and have been drifting some years past. That Hot Springs Jesuitical chicanery and this Boston trouble indicates what is coming sooner or later. Let Protestants open their eyes and not be ignorant i of the devices ofRomanism as delegates from the South in that Jlot Springs Conven evidently seem to have been. Anniversary of the South <'Hrolinn Peace Society. The (Sixteenth Anniversary of the South Carolina Peace Society wsis held October 2, 1NSS, in the Hall of the Young Men's Christian Association, Columbia, beginning at 7.30 p. in. The meeting was opened with reading the Scriptures and prayer by Sidi H. livowne, the President. C. ]). Stanley, by request, acted as Secretary Comparatively few were present. The prescribed order of business was observed. The President stated tb:it be had preached a number of sermons during the year on Peace, besides several special lectures on the subject. On every occasion, the congregations seemed much interested in what was said. In Europe and America there are 70 Peace Societies: 43 of these are in America, 1 in Denmark, G in France, 4 in Germany, 8 in Great JJritain, 1 in Holland, 1 in Hungary, 4 in Italy, 1 in Norway and 1 in Sweeden. The following communications from brethren who could not attend the meetiug were read : KKOM Mi. J. M. BURGESS, CJKEELYVIJjLK, S. C. I regret that I shall not be able to attend the meeting of the South Carolin Peace Society. Iam still fully in favor of peace among men, and of the settlement of national diiliculties by arbitration. Trusting that all the members may be inspired with fresh zeal in this good cause, I remain very truly your Friend. FROM JOSIAIt W. LEEDS, I'HILADKLPJIIA. A little more than a century and a half has elapsed since the eminent Methodist preacher John Wesley, paid his visit to Georgia and the CaroJinus. It was after his return thence that he wrote his 'Appeal to Men of Reason and Religion,' in which he very earnestly contended against engagement in war as beiug insensate, murderous and unchristian, as characterized by no argument whatever in the decision of differences, as being "an amazing way of deciding controversies!" Sometimes it would seem, when the subject of the settlement of international differences by amicable methods is much mooted?as has certainly been the case ill this country for several years past?that the minds of the generality of men were pretty well made up upon the matter, and that they were a*bout ready to concede all that the friends of peace contended for in that direction. Thus, four years ago when the presidential platforms were in course of construction, the then dominant political party inserted what seemed to be a perfectly staunch plank upon international arbitration, one which might be relied upon for good, permanent service. It is true that trie Democratic party made no attempt to put forth a similar plank, yet the well-respected candidate for the vice-presidency expressed himself very pointedly in favor of the peaceable reference of international disputes! ?So also did St. John, the candidate of Prohibition, while the Equal Eights, and, I think, the Labor party, formally aflirmed their belief in the principle by placing tress. To send aid is a blessed privilege. What better platform than that of the abandonment of war as a remedy for human disputes could lie made, on which all of us could stand? It hns been said to me by a gentleman from the South, President of a college : "If we could only have common foe like England and a common light, we would soon forget our differences!" Alas! alas! must we wait for more wickedness before we can do riirht'? Must, whnla raimmnnitieH h? come drunken before we will do anything for temperonce? Must we shed the blood of Christian brethren and our kindred beyond the sea, before we cau love one another! God forbid. Warring, killing, destroying with every accompaniment of cruelty and brutality, has been tried since the world began. If experience has proved anything, it has proved the folly, futility and wickedness of war. Love has never had a fair trial. She has been met at every step by unfaith ?"Impossible!" "Impossible!" has been the universal cry. The asserted impossibility of love's conquering hate is in the face of the facts. On small areas?for a little time, in special cases ?(all it could get) love has triumphed. In the family, the church, the community and the nation, love would rule if hate would simply make a vacuum in men's hearts. But you need no preaching. The elect few who will stand by the South Carolina Peace Society at its anniversary are confirmed in Christ's doctrine of forbearance, long-suffering, forgiveness and self-sacrifice. Pray for us, brethren, as we do for you. Come and see us, and let us eome and see you to talk as well as write these things. The God of Peace be with your spirits. In Christian Love, KltOM REV. L. B. BOUCHELLE, M. D., THOMA8VILLE, GA. President and Members of South Car' olina Peace Society: Dear Brethren?Excuse me for intruding a communication upon your attention. I write, because it is not convenient to come. I have been a poor member of the Society since its organization. I love the cause because it is the cause of Christ, and because it is engaged in the next best work known to men?teaching the people to cease mortal combat, to love one another, to curb and restrain bad passions. Indeed, the peace cause is even more humane and pacific than the pulpit is accustomed to be?"moves the pity." It should be a cause of great gratification and encouragement to you to go on in your good work, to remember that since your organization there has been a wonderful increase in the pacific utterances of most of the religious press of the world;' a decided toning down of the belligerent declarations of clergymen of all denominations and more efforts made at arbitration, in national governments, than, in any similar period, in the history of the world; and, as for that, in any thousand years of its history, combined. If, in anything, the friends of peace are lacking, it is in the dash, push and whirl of the age. Excuse the suggestion, for it is well meant; but, could not our cause be speeded more rapidly, by sending out one, or a score of your society to establish sub-societies, or, rather auxiliaries throughout the land ? Levy a per capita tax to pay the President or other memper of the society, and let them go broadcast over the land, and disseminate peace principles in all minds ?especially tne young v it win uo good in more ways than one. Enlist the young, let them sign peace pledges. It will diminish the battles of the school ground, and grow up with them, and, in the near future when the boys that now are, become the legislators, governors, congressmen ana presidents, it will produce fruit to the glory of God, and the well-being of the nations. "I speak as to wise men; judge ye what I say." So wrote Paul. Allow me to bid you God-speed in the great, good cause. Fraternally yours, [Though Dr. Bouchelle's communication was not received until after adjournment, it is assigned to a welcome snnpA with the others. I The officers of last year wore continued for the ensuing twelvemonth. The meeting adjourned with the doxology and benediction. C. D. STANLEY, x Secretary. How .11 iicli Better In One Than the Other. Betting on the election for President indicates that fraud, gambling, and bribery will perform no small part in the canvass. And the easy, matter-ofcourse style in which some newspapers speak of this wickedness indicates that they are about on a level with such corrupt partisans. All such doings tend to the further corruption in elections and to increased desecration and ambiguity of the ballot box. "Neither be partaker of other men's , sius : keep thyself pure." Why is it that men in whom we have implicit confidence, their honor and integrity unsullied, will neglect to settle such small debts as the subscription of a newspaper? Well, we must presume that they forget it. But, my friend, while it is a little thing with you, let us assure you it is a big thing to us.?Lanbciatcr Ledger.
