I The Press and Banner. Wednesday, Nov. 21, 1888. Twelve 3?ages. \ Dedication or the Presbyterian / Church. / No people ever deserved a fuller notice of { the dedication of their church than the Presf byterians, and no church dedication was ev(er as fully reported as Is the dedication of their church. r The account of the Interesting occasion con' tains a great variety of matter, and few readk ers will fall to find something In It, which r will be Interesting. r The paper, as a whole, is a historical docuP ment, and well worthy of preservation. L If future generations take up the history of [ the church as furnished to-day, and continue I the record, it will be the best kept church re" I , cord in existence. We claim nospeciai credit for anything wo I have done in the matter. Wo have only dls. charged our duty, as we conceived It, but we desire to return hearty thanks to all who In > any way rendered aid in the work. Without aisistance and co-operation we rowid not have accomplished what wo have done. D. O., 91. D. We notice bp some or our exchanges that i Rev. Dr. Darby and Rev. Dr. J. L. Girardeau have^begun prescribing cures for the sick. ' Heretofore we believe they have been laboring solely for the cure of souls, but It now seems that they are about to enlarge their business by taking a supervisory care of the bodies of those whose physical condition may not be in a satisfactory condition. In this way they may be Doctors of Medioine as well as Doctors of Divinity, and may have as an appendix to their name, M. D., and D. D. Among the visitors present at the dedication services were Mr. John B. Bonner, local editor of the Associate Reformed Presbyterian, Dr. J. L. Pressly of Cedar Spring, Dr. Youngblood of Bradley, Mr. Mason Miller of Lowndesville, Mr. Frank Martin, Mr. DuPre Calhoun, Greenwood, Mrs. Harrison. Dr. Prank Harrison, Miss Jennie Harrison.

" ? -"* Extracts from the Christian Neighbor. 'Its The Lord's Prayer. ?gjr? A correspondent asks the New York 9^'\ Advocate this question : \nd "Why do not Methodists use "forgive *111 us our debts," instead of "forgive us ing our trespasses," when debts is in the Bible and trespasses is not?" by The substance of the answer is this : illy nan "The Methodists derived their usage =e-" from the Church of England, and that of form was in use before the King James irk- Version was translated. Furthermore, ige. there are two forms in the New Testainent?one in Matthew, and one in poc- Luke. Matthew says "debts," and 1 01 Luke says "sins," which shows that no particular importance is to be atest tached to the word, provided the meaning is retained. By referring to Matthew you will find that immediately after the Lord's Prayer Christ says jers (6th chapter, 14th verse): "For jf ye jere forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you showing that in the opinion of the y* very men who translated the word -op- "debts" in the prayer, the meaning is "trespasses." ameen The first ten words gives the aniza swer. The Methodists have been so taught?taught to follow the Church of mo, England in preference to the Bible. After giving the answer, the Advothe cate arSues that "trespasses" is preferable to "debts." The explanatory argumentation falls short, we think, of justifying the position taken. lied jf "no particular importance is to be iurg attached to the word, provided the meaning is retained," why reject both Jgggj "debts" and "sins" as found in the one and the other of the two forms in [02q' the Bible, and contend for the form used by the Church of England ? i?8?" If the people understand the meanged ing of "trespasses" better than they understand the meaning of "debte," Ro- (which is doubted,) why not use the word "sins" which, to adults and chilioes dren, is more explicit and clear than ?m either of the other two words. eoc The point is not the Meaning of a "S word in the Lord's prayer and one Ro. following the prayer, but the form of words composing that prayer. The ^ form in Matthew is the one supposed are to be generally followed, but the following often varies from the Bible ES form in other words besides substitutiuri it ing44trespasses'7 for "debts." eCto When the Bible form is once broken ood the way is opened for any church or 'u8t worshipper to change the form as jjuo juugxuem or xuncy piay suggest; anu ... thus the form would be practically >IV lost in the many mutilations. The only way to have uniformity in using the Lord's prayer is for all people to use the form exactly as it is found in ? the gospel by Matthew. "Hold fast the form of sound words."

I shall be able to carry my collections in full to New Berne next week. There have been fifty conver sions in my charge this year and sev.'"!!! enty accessions. It would afford me ;;;;;; much pleasure to be with you and the brethren of former days at Winnsboro, but duty calls me to the meeting of my own Conference at that time. Always glad, this editor is, to hear from the transferred brethren. """ We wi9h to be in our place as long as we live and are able to get there. We wish to see and hear what the 7.7.7 brethren say and do, and if there is anything we can do in helping forward the work of the Conference or ? the interests of the church in its bounds to do it for the sake of Christ. Much is said about "reunions." There is no reunion like that of the ...Z survivors at an Annual Conference. ,7.7.'.. Nothing on earth excels it so we think. The reunion in Iieavenof tne raitnrui fellow soldiers of the Cross who in the intervals died at their post, is far better, more glorious, eternal. Last Sunday, November 25, Rev. J. W. Wolling, missionary to Brazil and member of our South Carolina Confere nee, preached at Marion Street Church in this city. The theme was death for life?He saved others, himself lie cannot save. Making an un usual but legitimate application of the text, the speaker pressed to the hearts .!!!" of his hearers the necessity of giving II" themselves for the salvation of others Co ?that we must let all things die in us 'ecu that we may save others, that we must . c. yield ourselves a willing sacrifice for the good of our brethren who are in ? dire need of help. The sermon was clear and forcible in style, pointed in iay application, and urgent in entreaty. e.rs At 3.30 p. m. a large audience assembled at the same place to listen to uf. a talk on Brazil, the physical features tly of the country, and some of the habits and customs of the people. At night Mr. Wolling preached at Wash-! to ingion Street Church. I Jk Treat every girl as you would like every boy to treat your sister.

I THE EDUCATION OF THE COLT The True Tneory of Training, Which H Honerer, Seldom Practiced. _ ... i I Following ore some practical, sngges- j tions on the initial steps in training young horses, by Rural Canadian, that embody ( the true theory, as all horsemen will admit. It is, however, an unfortunate fact '' that not one man in ten carries out this practice. So well does it work that, in ; an incredibly short time, the colt b*- j comes so gentle and teachable, the impatient trainer considers him sufficiently broken, and hastens to harness and wort < the animal, when, in point of fact, he has , only arrived at the a, b, c of his education. The result of such undue haste is ; obvious; the colt if never really broken. That it pays in the long run to follow the ; advice here given the writer firmly believes: Begin the education of a colt' by bridle handling, first on one side and then on the other. Put him about in different , directions, forward, backward, to the left and right, and get him to yield to the bit in each cf these directions. This should I be done both in the stable and yard, and in using the reins for this purpose the trainer should exercise a steady, firm rvr? Wf rmf.il +.Via rmlt. yiCOOUiO UU VUV ViV UUVM vwv w?? J -W-?, when the pressure should be removed at once, In order for him to understand that he has obeyed. When the colt's head can be handled in every conceivable direction, and the muscles of his neck are supple and controlled, then handle the forward feet, ' then the body, and finish with the hind feet and tail. When handling the colt'a feet teach him not only to allow you to pick them up and rub and rap on them with a hammer, but to hold them up until you get ready to let them go. Take th? tall in your hand carefully, and raise it well up over his back, repeating this until he makes no objection. Take a pole about the size of a sled stake, pole him all over his body, and pry in between his legs until he shows no fear of it. Teach him to stand and allow a harness to be tossed on to and all about him. Handle umbrellas, robes, paper, etc., about his head and body until he is utterly indifferent to them all. Lead and back htm Into and over an old pair of shafts repeatedly, and wh?i be is standing in them raise them np andurclb his legs with them, and finally bring tin crossbar against his haunches, gently at first and then more forcibly, until he carea nothing for it. All those things should be done to the colt before he is harnessed at all. A colt should be put through a series of reining lessons before he is hitched to a vehicle. While reining him the whjp ought to be used, not only to get motion to handle on, but with a view to educating him to increase his speed when it If applied and getting him under control of it, for no horse is safe to drive unless 1m win "go to the front" when tapped with the whip. In striking a horeo with a whip, always do bo forward of the loins. During his reining lessons the colt should be taught to stand still at the simple word "whoa." He should also be taught to backWhen first hitched up the colt should be taken in a largo yard and started about carefully, and when he can be driven and backed all about such a place it is time enough for a trainer to trust 1 himself in the road, where there is mora danger of a mishap, and where control could not be so readily obtained if one should occur. In order to "waywise" a colt quickly and make him a nice reiner, he should be reined about from one side ' to the other, driven through shallow ditches, up alongside the fences, and out again into the road, turned around fre- i quently, to the right as often as to the loft, and taught to pass teams either to the right or left when meeting 01 over- : taking them. I One Experience with Ensilage. Professor A. J. Cooke says: I built t 1 silo, and it has disappointed me only in 1 being too email. I raised no more acre* nor were my crops any better last ye? than previously. Yet, with five acres o< my corn crop in ensilage, I was able tc winter more stock than ever before, and my stock never did so well.
