'> a vpar in advance. !, s. ? w J Wednesday, April 24,1885. l'i? belief Amonu Theological Sindent*. Tlie destructive criticism of Kennet) antl j Wellhausen is producicg its legitimate fruit; in Germany. A German of recognized sebol-, arship has this to say about the state of relig- j ious belief iu that country : "Our universities poisoned the educated: classes first; and now unbelief is penetrating | the masses of the people. Tbe magnilicent ! new building of the Reichstag has hitherto j been without an inscription. A shameless j Jew has proposed that this inscription tthould j be choseu, Deo Iguoto. These woals charac- j ierlze the situation in Germany. God is becoming more and more an unknown God. | J ust sorrow for this has turned the eyes of! meu especially to tbe theological faculties;) and the conclusion has been reached by many 1 that the system of negative theology now | reiening is altogether pernicious. Many of the theological students who are influence'! by '.t no longer believe in the triune God, in the true Diety of Jesus Christ, In His haviug been born of a Virgin, in the Word of God ; contained in Holy Scripture, in the efficacy j ( of the Sacraments, in miracles, in the doc-: trine of Justification as taught by Paul, in 1 the hearing of prayer. In not a few oa?c>s ! l younu men become wholly lost In the mazes ! of criticism, and return home saying that' they have no longer faith in anything." j * This is a dark picture but It is not a sur j prise. The criticism that assails the author!ty oi the Old Testament will not long retain the New. The New Testament Is full of the 1 I Old. The two are one, and they stand or fall, j together. No artful phrasing can conceal the ! , Issue. If the Pentateuch is discounted the | 1 Gospels and Epistles are too. As another I German puts It: "That is a fatal blindness if!, one believes that in literary >|uestlons he can j go with the critics, and in the historical and j redemptive questions of Old Testament he j can remain in harmony with the Church and l with ChriBt and his apostles." Let us learn a lesson from Germony. It is well that scholars and divines of this country meet, with stout opposition, the advance of the disguised I enemy. There is a real danger lest the faith \ of many be unsettled, and incalculable mischief be wrought among all classes of people by the so-called Higher Criticism. The above article was clipped lroru the last week s issue of the Associate Reformed Pres byterian. We publish it not that we believe that the publication ol suoh articles, and the admissions therein made, will do any good . but we reprint it to Impress those who are or- j dained to the ministry and assume to be the j ambassadors of our Saviour. We assert, without the slightest fear of successful contradiction, that the frequent meutlon by the pulpit of the fact of the unbelief of the learned scientists of Germany, together with their own criticisms of the translation of the Bible has done more to create doubt in the minds of the people than all other causes combined. When an ignorant preacher, who reads none of the current literature of the day, and who can barely speak pardonable English, assumes to crltl. else and point out the errors of the learned men who translated the Bible, does he not put himself in a ludicrous position? When the same man undertakes to criticise the German scientists doesn't the comparison between himself and the scientist place him at a disadvantage? ' It matters not what the German scientists say. The main question is: "Whom say ye that I am." Preach Christ and his gospel, and let the scientists aloue. An extended knowledge of Theology Is not a condition precedent to salvation. Our, vision may not be able to penetrate* His pavilion of darkness, but our prayers j may asceDd to Him, with the assurance that they will be heard. However ignorant we may be as to the com- j ponents of the triune Godhead, yet a pure heart is always acceptable at the throne of I trace. We may know very little of the science or j F plan of salvation, but the humble prayers of ' the penitent will not be disregarded. The thirst for the infinite proves infinity, while we may not be able to outline his figure on c^ivass or detect it clearly in our minds, yet we know that our Father who so loved | the worid tbat he gave bis ooly Son for our salvation, will not turn away a trusting and devoted servant. Let no believer argue with any unbeliver. The divinity of our Saviour admits of no argument, and he wbo consents to argue,or tries ?> prove it, gives himself away. The Press and Banner believes that this is a practical world, where reason and common sense are factors in all that contributes to the welfare of mankind. And we believe that no f practical good can come of lessening the respect of the people for the correctness of the accepted translatiou ol the Bible. We furthe r believe that a little pigmy puts the gospel at a disadvantage when he a&nerts tbat the most learned men of the world are agnostics, or unbelievers, but that he, with all his great presumption, and little bit of learning, 16 a believer in the redeeming grace of our blessed Lord. We admit that we fa now positively nothing > of the scientists of Germany, but the bare assertion of their unbelief not only does them an injustice, but is misleading. If those most learued do not believe, then what are we to do ? But, while we know nothing at all of the (iprmnn RpiAnf.klR v*i?t Irnruv that fhov have reason and con mon sense. Admit this j proposition, aud they cannot deny the cardi. i nal doctrines.of Christianity. They cannot deny the existence of such a thine as truth. Truth Is the foundation stone, or bed rock, of all that is good aud holy. They | cannot .deny the benefit of honesty, and! the blessing of virtue. The German scientists : must admit the purifying influence ot the I life and example of our blessed Lord and Sa-11 vlour. Because theBe scientists do not believe as we do in all things, is there any reason to j 1 make the world believe that these learned 1 j men deny all that is good ? Wesay this: Letour ministers preach the gospel of our Saviour. Let them accept the translation as It has been handed down to us. ; If they will do this they will have much to : do. They need not waste their time-running j after German scientists or ridiculing the I translation of the Bible. j If they will abstain from the irreverent use j of the name of the Almighty while in the ( pulpit, as well as in their conversations, they j will promote respect for the Name at whose ! mention all should bow. and wtrich should not be taken on any Up except In reverential ' uwe. The preacher who irreverently uses the j name of the Almighty fifty times in oneser- i mon ought to be summoned before the church court, and if he gives not proper evidence of sorrow and repentance for hie profanity he Khouid be dismissed from the church. Travel* In the Holy I.hu<I. For many months the eyes ol the people and the footsteps of the traveler have been j , turned toward the Holy Land. The desire to ' ' tread the sod which was pressed by the feet of 1 our Saviour, and the thirst for information in j reference to the historic ground is almost uni- t versal. ll v We believe that all letters from the Holy j Land are more generally read than anything else, but if the travelers see nothiDg more than they write about we tbink that they might just as well save their money by staying at home. We do not see bow it is possible .] for any living man lo tell less of a people and j t a country than those who have lately written j 1 from the Holy Land. A man at home, own-; j ing a guide book, and a copy of Mark Twain's j i Innocents Abroad, could beat the travelers: two In the game. ' ? ? ? ? a A merchant who wants your trade Is Aug. v \V.

When a little mind wants to appear espeially wise while reflecting on his Slate, he ometinies rises to a great attitude, motions o the people to be quiet, or to hide out, and >roceeds to utter the threadbare, worn out, lute, stereotyped remark : "You must, be rery quiet. Hide your diminutive heads. ,'apital, like pari ridges, is exceedingly scary, md won't come in Hie community at all, il rou breathe hard, or shake u bush." The patent on this tiling of scary capital has learly expired. No saying has less truth in it. The people ove to be humbugged, and will invest money n boom towns, lottery tickets, borne races, dectioas, games of chance, futures, and what sver else Is risk}' and extra hazordous, wnen hey would be slow to invest in factory stock. Jo please let us hear no more of scary capital. Auotber thing. Many patriotic people seem .0 think thai we can do nothing without S'orthern capital. This is fallacious. Self-help s best, and the Lord helps those who help ,hemselves. They way to do a thing is to do t. Let Northern capital ^o to, if it is afraid to :ome among us. Let it stay away, if we are to hold our breath or abase ourselves at its joining. A littie vigorous pushing will attract more capital tban anything else. And ,hen if it doesn't come, who cares a snap. Wornont Scarecrow. Whenever anybody wants the insurance :ompauies to act honestly with their customers by paying the policy on which they lave received a premium, some little nuhmee, who doesn't know what he is talking ibout, holds up his little hands in holy hoi or and cries out. "The insurance companies .vill leave the State." That little scarecrow aas been used until the poor little thing is eally worn out. < >nly those who use secondaand goods will now use it. Everybody mows by this time that there is no truth in my such assertion. TO BE KILLED FRIDAY. ?? SIohii Hurst's Time is ('niiiinc-)Ir Will Likely 1'iiy (lie Penalty ol tiih C'riin? on the 2<llh. Owing to tlie fact of an appeal to the Governor for Executive Clemency, the execution of Sloan Hurst was postponed from March S to April 12, In order to allow the Governor ample time to read the evidence upon which he was convicted of murder in the shooting of Lemmie Ilapley, his mistress, on Sale Day In January, 1895. Upon reading the testimony the Governor declined to interfere with the sentence of the court, and so informed Sheriff Nance, who had made all the arrangements for his execution on April 12. But before that day, the Governor was asked to i>ostpone the execution on account of the dying eooditlun of James H. Nance, son of Sheriff Nance. The 12th of April was Good Friday, but we do not know il this tea onn true nrcrpri fnr (tela.V. In response to the second appeal, Governor Evans save ihe condemned man a further respite of two weeks. The day now set lor bis execution is Friday next, the 2Gth of April, and we presume tbai he will die at the appointed time. His crime and bis death are chargeable to the carrying of fire-arms and excessive use of liquor which last Inflamed his mind and made him reckless of human life. Except when drinking, bloan Hurst is regarded as a good negro, .'altb.'ul and honest. And thus it is that the ready pistol and the too free use of liquor induced lilui to commit the murder for which he is to pay the penalty of his lite. In bis execution he will leave a widow and orphau childreu. Tbe banning will take place in the South corner of the third story of the Jail?In the "well" ol the stair way. Tbe platlorin Is made on the level of the ballusters. Ascending tbe steps, which are made for the purpose, the condemned man will take his position alone on tbe platform, when the rope will be adjusted about bis neck. Tbe slightest touch of a trigger will allow the trap doors, to swing from beneath him, when he will drop some five or six feet, and his soul will be in eternity. Tbe execution can be witnessed by only a few persons, the space in the hall way being small. He will be haDged at eleven o'clock. His crime and death point a moral. BEAUTIFUL TEMPLE, ? ?? Ttie New Met hod I.hI Church Ruilillu^r IM ^earilliC tumincuvn. The Methodists at Abbeville are not excelled lor zeal in church building, and their liberality in contributing to the different church enterprises Is equalled by few and surpassed by none. We are told that this congregation contributed last year about $7,000 lor church purposes. When it is remembered that there are no very rich men in that congregation, and when it is not to be forgotten that there are some who are unable to contribute at all, the statement they gave ?7,000 in anv one year deserves more than casual mention. The new building which is now nearly ready lor occupancy Is a beauty In design and finish. Its windows are inexpressibly beautiful, and its walls are in such propoitlon as to make the church all that heart or soul could wish. The pews are being made now, and as soon as they are finished the church will be ready for dedication. On the right of the tiled vestibule is the pastor's study and library. The floor of the main building will tie covered with the tine>-l carpeting. The painting will be done in the best aud prettiest style. We say here now on Qur own account, and without in any way compromising the officers of the church, that ii any miscreant should go Into that church with tobacco in bis mouth, that the public should be instruct eel, required or requested 10 lane mm uui huu deposit hlrn In the guard house or horse stable. When the new church wan dedicated some years ago, tobacco fuddle was spurted 011 tne floor iu the neighborhood of where we sat. A lady near by had to gather up her skirts. The same is true of the tobacco fiend at the dedication of the Presbyterian church. A. man chewed and chewed. He emptied the ambler on the carpet. The Press and Hanner believes that the chewing of tobacco In church is a desecration of the temple, and that, uo true gentleman, or even no galvanized Christian, should exercise his mouth and mind with tobacco while in the temple, which Is holy. Let it be announced that no tobacco chewer should be allowed in any church. NEW TYPE. File Press and Kaimer Ntill (letter Prepared (<> do .lob Printing. Last week the Press and Panner received a large lout of body type, suitable lor printing pamphlets, and as a cor sequence we are bet uei uiepaitu iui waii nmu ui ?rw?i? before. Exclusive of the newspaper department. we have the following sizes of body type in our job department: Small Pica. Long Primer. Hourgeois. .Minion. Nonpareil. All of which is new, and in such quanllties is to enable us to print a pamphlet or book in either size on beautiful type. We have a full force of printers who, as skilled workmen, are Lhe equal of any in the Stute. Their success in pleasing customers has warranted the purjhaseofau increased supply of type to answer the demands upon us lor work. All persons needing printing of any kind should get an estimate from us before giving their orders. To get prices that will ensure (vork at bottom prices will cost only a postage stamp. The application for prices may save many dollars, and can do no harm. ON THEIR NATIVE HEATH. ? ? ? Honored Son* of Abbeville Itelnrii tn Thoir OI<l Home*. .During the last week Messrs.

Dr. Wilson Conducted Service. The monthly Union meeting of thechurcbef met with the Methodists last Sunday night, who are temporarily worshipping in the Court House. Dr. Bays presided and gave the audience a most cordial welcome. I)r. J. Lowrle Wilson preached from the words: "Prepare'to meet thy God." He urged the acceptance of the divine olfer of salvation, and presented in the strongest terms ilie (1moyer and risk uf delay. Thobe who remain out ol the church deny their Lord, for which denial there may be a tearful reckoning when the sinner meets his God, as all of us musl do, sooner or later. The conditions were such that every one must come face to lace with his (iod, and those who are forced into his presence unprepared will have reason for fear and trembling, because ol the impending doom. He referred directly and regretfully to the tendency of the timeH to a disregard of the Fourth Commandment, and lamented the example which was recently set by the United States Congress in continuing their session during the .Sabbath day. He thought the claiming that the session was a continuation of Saturday was a subterluge. and that the dating ol Sunday's work as ii done on Saturday was a poor ellort to cheat the Lord out. of his day. 11 by the affixing of the date ol Sat urday would hold good for Sunday^work, lie would like to know whera_t-be Lord's day would come In for tha^-'-veek. He thought the Sunday sesslojwrSs clearly a violation of the Fourth CoKmaudtnent and had no hesitation In declaring that it was a desecration of the Lord'j day. There was a large attendance, and Doctor Wilson was attentively listened to Iliroughoul his discourse. NICE NEW HOUSE, An Honor to the Contractor* and a Prl<lc to the Owner.
