He lias Hymn Hooks, Confessions or Faith and a good assortment of Presbyterian literature. The books are cheap and reliable and will do good to those who may buy and read them. This beuefit will not be conflued to Presbyterians, but may be enjoyed by all who feel an Interest In religious reading. Mr. Richards will go through all the Presbyterian churches of this county within the next few weeks, and I bespeak for him from our people a kind reception and ask thein to eucourage him in his good work. He Is not an agent selling books for tils own gain, but a colporteur, doing the work of the Church. J. O. LINDSAY. Due West, S. C., June 22,1891.

Turner, Miss Daisy Fouche, Miss Lucile Chapman land Master John Chapman was crossing the ! bridge near this place, over Wilson's creek the horse attached to the buggy becarno frighted and turned around on the bridge throwing the buggy, young ladies and boy into the creek where it was eight feet deep. ; I If the horse had fallen ott the bridge all three jj I of the young people would probably have) been killed. As it was, they were only saved from drowning by the efforts of Messrs. Allan, Locke and White with theaid ofsomecolored men who were working on the new bridge near by and caine to their rescue and fished , them out of the creek. I see by the last Press and Banner that work has been stopped on '"Old Tumblln," at Edgefield, and that there Is a possibility that it may cotne by this place. We will extend a hearty welcomc to any effort that is made to give more railroad facilities. The road-bed from Trenton to the mountains has been graded and twenty miles of it ironed and in | running order.

He has a laige number of friends and relatives in this community. It I is enough to say of htm, that he was a good J citizen, a true pafriot, and au honest man. The Colleges are turning out sweet girl graduates in large numbers. Abbeville couuty will have her full share. The farmers have had a hard fight with the grass but with another week of sunshine, they will come out victorious. The farmers should look well to their provision crop as cotton is lower in price than it has been lor | forty years. It is $20 a bale lower than it was a year ago. < The overage darkey is now happy. Black- i berries are ripe and the watermelon crop Is I promising. < The proposed debate between Gov. Tillman and Col.

Archdeacon Miickay-SmKh on the -"vjjgS Peace Testimony. Eds. Christian Statesman The. -$|1 telegrams from the Far West are tell- 4/3 ing us of the appearance among the Indians of one who, it is said, claims to be the Messiah, and who, in rebuk- s ^ ing evils, says that there should be no *3 fighting, and that the Indians must cease from it. The query has often v been raised, what, would the Prince of Peace say, were He to come sudden- -':M ly to His heritage, and find whole nations, calling themselves by His name, armed to the teeth and ready to fall >7S upon each other at the word of oommand ? Would He not instantly pronounce His "Woe unto you !" Would He not deem that defence a very "re- # v|| fuge of lies" which should strive to < :Z?i stay His righteous wrath by the sorry ' plea that because a nation had voted- - J more muskets, more cannon, more -M coast defences, more war ships, theire remained naught for us to do but to ' 31 pursue the same fateful course of arming and suspicion ? iJs Alexander Mackay Smith said some ..-.3 very true words upon this subiect (in the columns of the "Illustrated Chris- ' W. tian Weekly") when the subject of putting ourselves in a better fightingtrim was mooted in Congress a -few HI ? months ago. As it is not often that we find a pronounced churchman re- ' -Ji inforcing the Friends in their testi- r,Jfl ineny against war, it may be profita- "t 1 ble to hear the Archdeacon's conclud' ing sentences: "I am well aware," he says, "thatin ;3gsH arguing thus I shall not carry the con victions of many of my readers with me. Be it so. lam content to take my siunu wiui me oiu muiiK, aiuibiades, who ventured to denounce the games in the Roman arena, only to be >13 sacrificed between the combatants he appealed to. But the brutal combats ^ ceased. I no more expect to effect his result, than I have offered his sacrifice. But I am confident that if the thoughtful Christian reader \|(ill consider well % the aspect of the case I have presented, he may occupy my position a i-i few months hence. I know, of course, -M what cau be said against it. It is a ' mean spirited" policy. It is "un- , worthy a great nation, chimerical and r3 absurb to the lastdegree." "We should ! sink into a position of contempt, and vsi be at the mercy of any thrid rate na- 5 tion. The millenium has not yet ar rived." To all this my answer simply . gj is, that T ask my reader to get out of :.a| the conventional way of viewing such fA matters, and try to look at the question from a fresher standpoint. I sym- . pathize with him to a certain extent, -tig But I have come to believe that unless , our Christianity means a polite pagan- ^ ism, the time has been reached when must begin to preach a new and bet IATI YYOJ 111 UaUUllllg J/IO ouu , j mij than that which has satisfied the so called Christian world for eighteen centuries. And if our Americanism means anything new and;true it will ' ?? carry us beyond this mere copying of other nations in all our opinions. Must we march because Europe whia- ; ( ties? Has not Providence placed our > country in a position to refuse to emu>> lase those nations which are constantly provoking one another, and challenging each other by these costly > armaments? Do they not tempt us into such a brusque and offensive atti- M , tude in all international difficulties as t tends to bring on wars, and illustrates fjs I the devil's way of looking at things, -'.u rather than the Christian way ? And in arguing against these weapons of war, does the natural man (and I, as I much as others, since my own spirit i is combative rather than peaceful,) do M we not all, have to make an effort to conquer passions, which we are conscious are largely those of the savage, , while we acquire a temper which we are just as conscious is that of God "V rather than of theunr?generate man?" Josiah W. Leeds. ^ ? in (Cod gregational 1st.) - ? ~ -m Thus Horace ureeiey put me great j economic principle than uud3ie33ibbath laws, adding as its parallelism |j that "the liberty of rest for each dej mauds a law of rest for all." Discuss^ ^ ing the Breckenridge bill, entitled "An act to prevent persons from being 1 forced to labor on Sunday," its opponj ents have claimed that "no one in this country was ever forced to labor on ' Sunday," usiug the word "forced" as " if there were no force except physical. P But Charles Hill, Secretary of the ~ Working-men's Lord's Day Rest As^ sociation, of London, shows howmen8 tal and moral force is applied in this matter when he says : "No class of society should be allowed to take advautage of the poverty of the poor, and say : 'We will not employ you ,vg on week-days unless you work for our profit or pleasure on Sundaysand the Legislature should see to it that the keen spirit of competition in all the branches of commerce, the greed for gold on the part of great companies and some em ploy era, do not trespass on the laborer's day of rest. . . . The men who interfere with the freedom of conscience and with religious liberty are the men who compel their assistants to work 011 Sundays, or deprive them of employment." t (New York Christian Advocate.) This is an age of Associations. SoA cieties are organized for almost every ihinw 1 f niiv one conceives the idea of doing something for the improvement of the race or the benefit of his neighbors, instead of doing it he seta to work and forms a society. Many benevolent, educational, andindustrial enterprises can be carried on ii much better by an association than by r single individuals each working in his 0 own way. But the organization bus! iness men will forget their individual e responsibility and allow their individf ual capabilities to wither under the impression tbat the societies can do e everything. There are joys and proe fits arising from personal independent |> effort which we will seek in vain in other directions. ? ^ A Pertinent Question.?The Ind terior says: "The Senate of the ITnUtwl Mlntou in the <>lnein<r riflVH nf its late session, voted, under the press sure of neglected business, to continue ut work nil duy Sunday. But in the B meanwhile a member of the body having died, adjourned 'out of respect ' to his memory.' The question arises, whether the living God is not as de: serving of respect as a dead Senator." Priest-ridden Brazil with its fours teen millions is calling for the gospel, n The people are turning from tneir > corrupt priest, and, touched with a spark from on high, reach out for him. H Let us help Brazil. Let us help the young republic.
