Lord Bless Hud Pity uh. In Abbeville tbere 1b a Utile mission c< gregation of Absociate Reformed Preabyt lane who are striving to establish a cbui In this city. TheSvnod assessed that congregation ? which assessment was paid in full. About the same time an agent authorla by Synod, come along asked money (or ' enterprise In Mexico. Some members aponded and others who did not do so, wi embarrassed by their necessary refusal. And now members of that little cbui whiob is struggling for an organized a self supporting existence is to have tb patience or generosity further taxed. Tl time for a good and worthy cause. Aod tl time by authority of the Home Mlssl ?;? Board. Here Is the cheerful Intelligence as convi ed Id the last week's issue of the cbui paper: "On account of the fact that the cauvas Little Rock Is not being made (bis year, t Board of Home Missions baa authorized R A. J. Hanson, our missionary iu Sparianbu to visit all the churches of the Synod lu t Interest or the work in Spartanburg, s? may be expected to preach on tbe dates a hoars named, and receive such aid as Go people may be Inclined to give to this wo A fall hearing is most respectfully asked follows: Abbeville, Aug 2C." Without authority from any one, und t editor speaking his own Individual sen ments, thinks there is a limit there Is a til when people ought have a rest, r Aa we might Just aB well be banged foi aheep as a lamb we protest at the sacrlllgec Ror irreverent use of the Name of the Gr< Head of tbe Church. Tbe soliciting of glfti a business proposition and we submit tl Dellber solicitors of gifts nor bill colle ors have a right to use the Name of Go ft people in tbat way. We do Dot now rec t any expression tbat Is more offensive to c I ears than "Gods people." And,If our C'hui L paper would allow a suggestion from a u I man we would say tbav the cburcb pa| aboold set up an example in the_rever< J oseoftbe name wblcb no one should u npon bis lips except In reverential ai The lrreverent.il not the flippant use of t Name Is.too common In both tbe pulpit a in the religions newspapers. Instead teaching ub reverence ihey too often give examples of making a foot ball or piaythi ofthe Name. We would respectfully ask our brother tell us to whom be has reference when peaks of "God's people." In oar blindness, in our ignorance or in c ' darkness there is no combination of any t 1 words in the language which 1b more ofl't lve to our ears than "God's oeoDle. Will c good brother please tell us wbo are "Go people?" or, will be tell us who are uoi "Gt peoplt?" Will be put a mark on them that we may reoognize tbem when we m | * tbem In tbe street? Do "God's people lo like ordinary people? Do canvassers seekl money tor cburob purposes, among torme or embaraas all sortB of people, or only "Go people?" This editor Is at a loss to know w are "God's people." If we are not lnclud In the number we wou!d not like to ' but I when we are not wanted except for l money that might be made out of us. , , . Bnt, whatever is meant or whoever is Winded as "G .d's people," tbe expressior Irreverent profane and sinful by wbomsoei made. A preacher of tbe gospel and editor of a religions, or a oburcb paper, sboi teach us reference and not give us eaxmp of flippant and Irreverent use of the saci Name. ; - In some of our churches we have separ. 100ms lor Sunday school classes, or else I Sunday school Is tanght at a different be fiom the regularly appoint! d time for rel! ns service. In like manner we think 1 cosslng class might be organized so as hear their lessons at a different hour, so tt toe onsslng class may have tbelr exercl separate and apart lrom tbe rellgli exercises. Tbe Sur.dev school does not lnt fere with ibe morning services, and u tblnfc leEtoiis Iq cosflDg or Id prolan Rahoald be given at a different hour, bo tl the ears of those religiously and devou Inclined heart* may Dot be offended. The editor of the Press and Banner ale 1> responsible for this appeal for reverei and Dot proianlty, Id both ibe religious pr< K and in the pulpit where the sacred Name to often made a plaything or a foot ball. A we believe that those who offend Id tl particular should be ciUd befoie the Chui Court. Ku>* ^ The Honumenl. v The Confederate Monument Is a bandsoi piece of Memorial architecture, and Is a I ting tribute to those who wore the gray, erection is a testimonial of the love &Dd fid Ity of those whom brave soldiers honor a worship as being scarcely lower man t angels. The unveiliDg takes place tomorrc when all the surviving Conlederate are e PSV pec ted to be there. The children, klDdi and friends c$ all Confederates will be thi when the teDderest and the sweetest w bonor toe valor and tte manly courage the brave. MISS WILLIE CATER. ?
