EASTER SUNDAY IN ABBEVILLE.
Last Sunday was an Ideal Easter day, the
sun rose bright and beautiful and the atr was
crisp and cool and many were ttie happy
Joyous hearts on this glorious Eastertide.
Reader, have you ev?-r thought what thi?
world would be without a "Klsen Christ?"
no Easter? no salvation?no hope? no life beyond
the grave a blank then how appropriate
for the millions of worshippers all over the
world to come on this glad day with hearts
filled with love and praise to join in the
celebration of this, tbe greatest event In tlie
Christian era, the resurrectlou of the world's
KedeemeT, and with one accord Join the
triumphant song "Tbe Lord Is risen Indeed
He lives to die no more" The rarest, and
most beautiful creations of nature were laid
upon the altar to beautify tbe house of the
Lord, and In their silent praise beautifully
typified the resurrection, for all nature has
awakened from her long winter's sleep and
spurng as it were into "new life" being clothed
In her Easter mantle?tbe opening bud?the
unfolding flower, and soft tender foliage all
conspiring together to make the world more
bright and beautllul on this glad Easter
morn. Then to the hundreds of thousands
0f bells all over tbe world chimed forth in
iovous notes the glad tidings "Christ Is risen !
Chrl8t 18 risen !
IN THE METHODIST EPISCOPAL CHURCH.
At the opening hour for morning service
thechuroh was filled to its utmost capaolty
even tbe aisles being filled with chairs. The
congregation was unusually large, being supplemented
by numerous friends from different
parts of the connty.
THE DECORATIONS
Were simple, yet beautiful in design and
finish. Around tbe chancel were gracefully
eniwlnefl trailing vines of ivv over a white
ground and along the railing was artlsticul'v
arranged beautiful sprays of wisteria, white
stately palms, beautiful lilies and pot plums
were banked In great profusion. In rear of
the pulpit stood a large wblte cross with a
lovely 6pray of purple wisteria suspended
from its top. About tbe reading desk, organ
and choir were placed large vases of choice
cut flowers; all these lent their beauty and
fragrance to the scene which spoke in silent
language of tbe glorious resurrection morn.
THE MUSIC.
Tbe choir was at its best and every member
In their places and was supplemented by
Messrs. Jas. A. Hill (cornet) and F. C. Link
(violin) whoadded much to the sweet strains
ofmuBlc so skillfully rendered. MlssSlrapson
presided at the orgaan. Tbe selections
were of tbe choicest music, and fittingly appropriate
to tbe occasion and were beautifully
rendered claiming the rapt attention of
the large congregation.
THE SERMON?THE LORDS SUPl'ER.
The sermon was rich In spiritual food and
thought, and delivered in an ernestaDd force
ful manner, claiming the closest attention
of tbe waiting congregation. At tbe close of
tbe sermon the celebration or tbe Lord's supper
wasj commemorated, being the chief
aolemnlty of Easter service.
THE SUNDAY SCHOOL,
In the afternoon the Sunday School held Its
regular monthly Missionary meeting which
0008l8t64lOfSOng service and recitations' the
whole belog most Interesting and entertaining
to the large congregation present. At

the resurreotlon.
V IN TRINITY CHURCH.
K.', , *
The congregation as usual celebrated Easter
with appropriate services. The church whs
elaborately, and beautifully decorated wltb
i.- ? pot plants, ferns, palms, together with choice
cut flowers, appropriate mottoes were placed
here and there making a scene bright and
beautiful within clearly typifying the glorious
resurrection of our blessed Lord. The
choir rendered most beautifully the flue
selections of music prepared far the occasion.
The sermon by the rector Rev. W. B. Sams
was moetsuitabletotheocccslon and elicited
the undevided attention of bis hearers. We
hope some one who was present will give a
more grapblo account of the services and
decorations of this church as we only write
from a general standpoint. Thus closed
another Eastertide and wltb It great and
grand opportunities were presented; will
they too be numbered with the past ? or will
they be enshrined in the nearts or tnose wuo
> beard?like seed upon good ground, thai

fruit In alter years to theglory of this "Risen
Christ."

The Catieof Kred Smuot an<l the
v of PrcKiUpiit Smith.
Spartanburg Herald.
Theexamination of Presi dent Smith
of the Mormon church reveals au interesting
situation. Mr. Smith says
he has five wives, that he lias these
each in a separate home, that he visits
these homes and that he has live separate
families. He also says that he
believes tnis is right, that the Tightness
of it came to him in a revelation, and
while he does not consider that herein
he technically disobeys the laws of the
United States, yet, if by construction
he does, then he would run the risk ol
prosecution as well as being an outlaw,
rather than desert those wives whom
be has taken in good faith under the
law at the time of the marriages. But
exactly what all of this has to do with
the case of Mr. Reed Hmoot we art*
quite uuable to see. Mr. Reed Smoot
took the oath to support the constitution
of the United States. It has not
been proved nor is there anything in
President Smith's testimony, or in any
testimony so far produced, that will

of polygamy or of auy other violation
of the law of the laud. What his beliefs
upon the subject of polygamy are
whether beliefs upou that subject be
considered religious, sociological, or
political has nothing to do, so far as
we can see, with his qualifications for
the senate of the United States.
Mr. Smoot is one of the Apostles of
the Mormon church. It.seeuis to be
proved that the Mormon church does
not sanction plural marriages or specifically
charges disobedience to law.
But agaiu, what has this to do with
Mr. Smoot and his seat in the senate?
If the Mormou church do sanction
violation of law, because Mr. Smoot is
one of the twelve apostles, there is considerable
doubt as to whether he could
be considered, ou that account, an outlaw.

nilitary expedition or enterprise to be
carried on from the territory or jurisliction
of the United States against
lither belligerent.
Belligerents' Snirs Not Wanted.
The proclamation also gives notice
hat frequenting United States waters
jy armed vessels of either belligerent
or the purpose of preparing hostile
>pvratious, or as^posts of observation,
' must be regarded as unfriendly and
offensive."
The proclamation also provides for a
joutingency like this : If several vessels
of war or merchantmen of one
power and several war vessels of. the
3ther should be in a United States
port at one time, the one power would
uot be permitted to detain the other's
whole fleet by sending out her ships
it the rate of one day.
The rule in a case like this woud be
to send out on the first day a vessel of
one power, and the next day one of
the oiher power's ships, and so on in
alternation until the port was cleared
of all the ships of both.
A ship of war of either Kussia 01
Japan is allowed to take on coal in a
Uniied States port only in sufficient
quanity to carry her to the nearest
port of her own country, and such vessel
cannot thereafter coal at a United
States port within three months, unlauti
uhp h?Q in moontimn o
home port.
The proclamation quotes from a
treaty of 1854 with "the Emperor ol
all the Russians," in which the following
principles were regarded as per
manent aud immutable: "1. Thai
free ships make free goods; that is ti
say, that the effects or goods belong
iug to subjects or citizens ot a power oi
[Stale at war are free from capture and
{confiscation when found on board ol
neutral vessels, with tbe exception oi
articles contraband of war.
Neutral Property Secure.
" 2, That the property of neutrals or
board of an enemy's vessel is not sub
jeut to contication unles-1 thu same bt
contraband of war."
Iu concluding his proclamation th<
President says:
"And I further declare an<! prnclain
that the statues of the Uniied State
aud the law of nations alike requiri
that no person within the ttrritor^
and jurisdiction of the United State
snail iuKe part, uireciiy or indirectly
in the .-aid war, but shall remain a
peace with each of the said belligerents
and shall maintain a strict and im
partial neutrality, and that whateve
privilege shall be accorded to oneo
the belligerents within the poits ofibi*
United States shall be in like manue
accorded to the other.
"And I do hereby warn all citi
zens of the United States aud all per
soiisresidingor being within their terri
tory or jurisdiction that while the fre<
aud full expression of sympathy in pub

laws of the United States, military
forces in aid of either belligerent can no
lawfully be originated or orgauizec
within their jurisdiction ; and thai
while all persons may lawfully, ant
without restriction by reason of tht
aforesaid state of war, manufacture auc

or attempt to break any blockad<
which may be lawfully establishec
