I Dr. Wilson .Made Home Thrust* I*n?t | A Sunday Morning; in llie Presbyterian Church. Dr. Wilson preached with more than his usual animation last Sunday morning, aud fi entertained tils congregation with something e for his bearers,to think about. p Omitting mention of the first part of a his sermon, which whs historical and theo-jii logical, and which went clear over our^heaU, | J we can talk a ittue oniy ?,lc' ,,c 1? bed-rock, anil dire<#ed bis guns point blank e at un. d The Doctor hit us all in his reference to tl home missions, and made plain our duty to ti help the weak and to raise up the fall?n. fi The tenor of the whole sermon was to com- ti bat the idea, which Is conveyed in the ques- s lion : "Am I my brother's keeper?" It is not only our duty to help our neigh- k borsln the struggle ol life, but it is our duty hi to help them fight the good fight of faith. It I! is not only onr duty to help strengthen the b weak membets of our race, in moral and rell- 1' ;lous precepts, but It is our duty, too, to lend d a helping: band to the colored race. If you ii say that many of them are degraded, I would 11 isk If we were not equally degraded wheu || lur Saviour came to redeem us, and to brlug h ialvation to a lost world. If our Saviour n :ame lo raise us up, cau we not, in imitation e )f his sublime act, extend at least a feeble ef- ? tort to raise the negro to a higher level than a ae now occupies? Having received help our- d selves, can we uot extend help to others? g You say that they are beneath us. That is a rue. That fact furnishes the ground for appeal for help from us?the stronger race. If t< ive are higher than the negro, are we not low- tl sr thau our Elder Brother, our blessed Sav- k our? Being ourselves lower than our Sav- h our may wt not In following bis example, b iescend to those who are lower and weaker n banweare'.1 By leading the wayward Into s' jatbs of rectitude, and by Inspiring tbem d' fflth that love and faith which will bring nr hem to tbt loot of the Cross, are we not do- n ng a most acceptable service to the Lord our s( iod ? There Is much work for us to do, and ei f we would better serve our Lord, we must b >etter nerve our brethren. lc During the delivery of Dr. Wilson's sermon his hearer could not help from thinking that w :ommunltles of our own race are xorely in u ieed of the healthful and helpful influence of be Cbristlau religion. Take for Instance, :ommuultles in Barnwell, Colleton and Uken, where such barbarous cruelties have >een lately practiced upon defenceless negroes as would make Turks blush or put the leatheu Chinese to shame. _ A .TOFM TT.

Surely nothing is more grating to cultivated ears than "Gawd" or d "dawg" and other kindred words, w I knew a little school boy ooce, to whom ^ the teacher gave the word G-o-d to spell. He ' spelled itG-o-r-d, just as hecaughtlt from the j( teacher's pronunciation. Had she given It ,, properly, he would have spelled it properly. Surely teachers should be close and falthlu! _ students of Webster. I would like to draw u attention to many other errors, both ortho- D ? .. ujcal and grammatical, at some other by the way, Mr. Editor, I have seen no answer to M. S.

It was a bright and beautiful sunbeam t adedoutof view last Saturday evening, lghteen years it had lighted up one ho nd communicated of Hh warmth to mi notheralso. All who came under Its gei Qlluence felt the spell of Its cheery preset here was something so gentle, and klnc nd winsome about it as to secure for It aRy admission to^very heart. No one 1 isposed to close the window against it, he rather to throw open the shutters and he genial, attractive beam come ln. Sorr ill were they all ln consequence when t lir radiance so unexpectedly vanished ou Ight. "Willie" was the name by which it i nown- or. in full, William Henry, the elc on of Dr. and Mrs. L. T.

On Wednesday of 1 eek he was brought home, thoroughly : nd there, on Saturday evening, after a : ays of almost unconscious lingering, t entle and attractive sunbeam passed qule way. Willie was a noble, manly, upright, hi jned boy?his mother's earth-star, his tier's pride?beloved and esteemed by all v new him. He who would have friends m Imself be a Irlend; Willie was such, f ence bis strong hold on the hearts of lany. His sorely bereaved parents have riopatblesof our entire community. Tb eep sorrow melted all hearts into one, as \ tade apparent on Sabbath evening at the eral services in the Presbyterian church; 5ldom has a larger congregation been ga red there than the one which then asse led to show forth its sympathy, sorrow 8 >ve for tliem.
