STRONG'S IDEAS OF HELL. lt ls Not a Place ol Everlasting Punishment. Kev. Charles II. Strong, of Savan nah, Qa., some months ago preached a sermon upon tho existence of hell and the kind and character of place it is. While Mr. Strong avowed his belief in thc existence of bell, bis views upon this sub j oct differ very materially with those held by the majority of tho ministry. Mr. Strong's text was from the words oj the I'sahnis', "If I make my bead in liol! behold Thou art lhere." It might be taken as :i fun damental principle of philosophy and theology, Mr. Strong said, not only that Cod is, but that Cod is every where. We can never llee from his presence. This being true, there i> no place in (Jed's universe where Ile is not, either in beaven or bell. "I haven often bien asked if I be lieved in bell," said Mr. Strong. "1 db. I believe in its existence In cause I believe in the existence ol' Cod and His righteousness. If (Jed is everywhere then Mis righteous ness must bo everywhere. Like the law of gravitation, which govern* tho universe, tho law cd' righteous ness is prescribe?! for man lo obey. When Ibis law is broken serious hiss ?and disasler billow and this loss and disaslor ts hell." The scriptural quotation, "Shall be turned into hell," Mr. Strong said, had been interpreted by many theo logians to mean thal hell is a wal led in inclosuro with circumscribed motes mid bounds. Ile held, on tho con trnry, that bell is created by tb?' ex istence of sin an?! that wherever tb sinner goes boll goos with bim. Sin should not bo lightly regarded nor laughed at, ho said, for sin is hell and carries tb?' sling and poison of bo with it. Tho tendency <d" tin- litera ture and fiction of the day is lo treat sin lightly, and so does popular sei encc, with its leaching that heredity and environment are responsible for| men's moral natures and account f their sins. "Hell is because God is," .Mr. Strong said. "God is everywhere ail?! bccailSC Ile is everywhere lhere will como a limo when hell will be not. If tb?' sinner is in hell, <h>d j-, there with bim, and, thcrcforo, there will come a limo when all sin will be abolished. Wo must realize that God is stronger than sir. and thal tho dovil is not more powerful than Cod." Mr. Strong said that there aro tw<> doors into hell, <>n?' by which tho sinner enters, by reason Ol bis viola tion of tho law of righteousness, and tho Other by which ho makis his exit from hell by reason of thc right eousness of God. Sin is a burning furnace in tho heart, he-aid. If von violate thc law which Cod bas writ ten ill your heart, lhere is a burning hell there, lt i-i well to remember lhat if you have made your bc 1 in bell that Cod is lhere also pleading with you. Mr. Stron;.; said that ho is not and never has been a li ni vorsahst. ?Many things have been said of bis opinions on this subject, ho said, and for that reason he wished to stale plainly thc ideas which lu- bad advanced. There were three ideas w hich bo bad urged on this question, ho said. Kirsl, bc had ende-vored lo change mon's con ception <<l hell from tho old idea ?d' physical torment and burning. This was tho idea which Spurgeon and Johnathan Kdwards had upheld and they had even endeavored lo enhance the joys ?d' the righteous by pictur ing them as enjoying ibo torments of tin; damned while reveling in eternal bliss themselves. His second idea bail been lo teach that tho Word "?derna!" in the Ibbie does not mean everlasting ; that ii rofors simply lo the things which are in eternity, or thc world lo come, and not to time everlasting, li emi ti?les quality and not quantity. The third idea, which ho has ad vanced, Mr, Sining said, is thal there is nothing in tho physical change in volved in death that interrupts man's state of probation, ll is true that "now is tho accepted time," hut all time to come. Thal a state <?l pro balioil exists ill lodi is best evidenced by tho fad thal ( hi isl descended into hell after Iiis crucifixion. Why did llO (IcHCCIld ?Uto hell if it wi re not to preach to lb?' spirits there and lo carry th ore tho gnat evangel of sa I vai n ni ? .Mr. Strong compared tb?' religions beliefs of fd) to 100 years ago with tb? <e of to-day and quoted from tho Westminster catechism in evidence of his assortions, Tho Westminster catechism, he said, holds thal .Adam foll from a sinless stale ami that ho ing tho father of all mankind his guilt was imputed t?i all his posterity. That (?od, out of his grace, had pro destin.lia.d BOttiO of Adara's dosoond ants lo everlasting lifo und others He had foreordained to everlasting hell, and that no matter how much these latter might exert their will to lay hohl upon this salvation their effort? would he fruitless and their condem nation remain. "That statement as a whole and in every single clause," said Mr. Strong, "I repudiate with every moral feel ing I have in me. On the contrary I hold that Adam's fall was simply a passage from the knowledge of good to tho knowledge of good and ovil, and that his sin was not imputed to his descendants. .Such a belief is in consistent with tho idea of a right eous God. Such a God I might fear and obey, but I could novor rever ence Him. I am not a Univorsalisl, because I boliovo that Clod has given us tho power of choosing good, and also that of choosing evil. Wc have tho reins of our destiny in our own hands." Mr. Strong said that he could not conceive for n moment that Hod would hold any human being in hell eternally, even though one die in his sins and go to hell he still has tho free will to avil himself of thc grace of God ottered there. IC von should be then rofltSO to accept of this graco he could suffer nothing but thc loss of God, which comes from sin. "Christ descended into bell that he might preach the gospel to thc spirits imprisoned there. Love al ways descends into hell. There is not a hell in this world into which love docs not descend. Farthers' and mothers' hearts go down into hell for their loved and erring sons and daughters. Not even in hell are we forsaken. God's love follows us lhere and pleads with us there. There is no man in this world, no matter how inexcusable his sin may be, who cannot say with tho Psalm ist, Ml' I make my bcd in bell, lo, Thou art there.' " CASTOR IA For Infants and Children. The Kind You Have Always Bought Bears tho Signature of Thc Profit of Thinning Peaches. A New dorsey poach ??rower said al tho recent State horticultural con vention in regard to thinning peaches : This portion of the work of peach culture should receive much attention from the orchard owner. If too great a number of peaches are lel'l upon tho I rec (o ripen, one of two results must surely follow--either the fruit will be undersized and often sri inferior in quality and insiped in llavor as to render it worthless for market, or else the tree will, from overwork, become exhausted and (?nally blight and die. The most perfect way of thinning the fruit from trees that are over loaded is to pick off by hand, leav ing it from I to t'? inches apart ; but where help is scarce and economy is the object, I have seen poles or long clubs used in removing tho surplus fruit with good results. There must be, however, some rule adopted to determino tho quantity of fruit thal WC wish lo remain lo ripen upon tho trees. This ?the individual grower must largely determine for himself. When he fully realizes that a peech tree can successfully ripen only a ?.riven number of pounds of fruit thc amount varying according to the age, size, and condition of the tree -lie will possess knowledge requi site for correct thinning. Ile must bear in mind that, the profits of a peach orchard depend almost solely upon two features-tho size and color of thc fruit. Thc following may prove to be of sonic value in determining the amount of fri it that should be left lo ripen upon tho tree : Number of peaches, :!nti ; diame ter, 'J I inclus; baskets, ?1 ; weight 100 pounds. Number of peaches, 000 ; diameter, 1', inches; baskets, 1 ; weight, lu". Number of peaches, rJi> ; diameter, 'J inches; baskets, I ; weight, 100. Accuracy of grading will in the end enhance tho value of the crops. Small or largo peaches should be graded to n ni form size ; but tho small fruit will not ordinarily pay shipping ex penses.

Tho following lotter of declina tion from James L. Tribble, of An derson, who was suggested for Lieu tenant Governor by the prohibition conference, has been delayed in pub lication by the absence of Col. James A. Hoyt, to whom it was en trusted for delivery to Mr. T. N. Berry, chairman of the oon fe ronce, who had been expected in Green ville a week ago, but did not come until a few days since, and who now authorizes its publication : AN DICKSON, S. C., May 28, 1900. Col. Tho?. N. Berry, Chairman Pro hibition Conference My Dear Sir: I have been in formed of thc action of thc prohibi tion conference in Columbia in sug gesting my name for Lieutenant Governor on the ticket with Col. Jas. A. Hoyt for Governor to bc voled for at tho Democratic primary. It becomes my duty, notwithstand ing tho high compliment paid me, to decline to enter the race. Circum stances aro such that it is out of the question for mo to run. I am not an aspirant for that or any other office, and had I been present at the con ference should have promptly de clined. I beg to assure you and thc mem bers of thc conference that I appre ciate tho compliment, and when I consider their moral courage, their integrity of character, their noble efforts in trying to stop or prohibit tho government from selling liquor, it lilis inc with deep emotion that I should have been deemed worthy of the honor ol' being one of their standard bearers. In tendering this, my formal decli nation, I hope it will not bo deemed out of place for mc to add, in this connection, that I am in full sympa thy with tho members of the confer ence, as well as all who are d?sirions of freeing thc Stale from the shame lhat has been cast upon her good name by this liquor business, if it is considered unlawful, disreputable and immoral for tho individual citi zen to engage in thc liquor trafile, then it is equally so far the Slate. .Some one has said, "prohibition does not prohibit." Well now, you and I, (and in fact every law-abiding citi zen) are prohibited from selling liquor, and it does prohibit, and since prohibition bas roached the single individual, there is no one now in the Slate but tho government to be prohibited in this nefarious business. Tho peoplo constitute tho Stale, they create thc offices and set their bounds, and put men in these offices, now let the people say to these gov vornmentnl agencies, "(.'ease selling liquor." There is noone else to pro hibit. I indorse in toto tho strong and powerful, because truthful, address or appeal to tho prohibition Demo crats in tho State; lo join battle in this light against evil. Your plat form is clear-cut, without platitudes or juggling phrases lo caleb voters, and shows that the men who adopted it had the moral courngo to decline any compromiso with tho great evil, which is recognized among all civi li/.ed people as an unmitigated evil. I' to be hoped that the Christ ian;, of this commonwealth should know whether it is lo be the fixed policy of our Slate to make tho sell ing of liquor as a beverage a func tion of government, and tims make all the people partners in the busi ness. It is lo bo hoped that, thc Christ ian men and women of this State will make their influence felt in this contest. You have Hung your ban ner of sobriety, temperance and vir tue to the breeze, and have selected Jol. James A. Hoyt, tho peer of any Democrat in tho Stale, as your leader. Ile is a man of ^reproach ful character ; a true and tried Caro linian, who bas stood by bis Stale in her darkest hours of adversity, laboring and waiting for her re demption ; a man who has always championed tho cause of right against wrong, seeking no other re ward than that sweet consciousness ol' !uty performed. With such a man as leader it does seem that all men who love pu ri ely, honor and tho good name of our State should rally to thc standard, and drive ( ut forever tho liquor (rallie. With these we can alford to eon tend for thal which is good, noble and pure in government, as well af in tho home. Yours respectfully ami sincerely, J. L. Titi nm.K.

Some tun? ago a subscriber who owed us two or three yeo re sub scription said to us that he hud read our "duna" and our threats to cut off deadheads from our mail list, lie jingled 1)?8 motioy in hin pocket and said : "I'm not going to pay you till I get ready. 1 want to sec if you fellows will stop my paper." Wc suppose ho has Been; for wo Htopped thc papor. It was not his paper, because he had not paid for it in three years. During that time we had trusted him thinking he would pay when lie got tho money, but the instant he sliook thc money at us banteringly wo understood the game. It was a bluf! to evade pay mont when we saw tho money and knew it could be paid then. It was meant to r?assure UH and to secure to our inonoy-jingling delinquent another years' subscription without pay. Hut he "will not gel it unless he comes up like a man and pay? his past just dues. Anolhoi gentleman wrote to us to send him the paper and he would pay us when he came to town. We didn't send it. We had ten dozen similar promises three years ago and not more than one dozen of the men have been in town since-judging from tho fact that wc have not been paid by the others. We have told them all good bye. A paper can't live and collect only one tenth of its just dues. "Hut," say these delinquents, "we will go and subscribe for another, paper." All right; if you eau find another paper who will carry the dead wait three more years, a burden will have been shifted from us to an other and henceforth the loss will be another's, not ours. We are learning gradually. The man who praises your papor forever: and pays never is not half so desir ous on the mail list as that other man who "cusses" out the paper, but paye his dues regularly. We want every man wo can pos sibly get on our list, who will pay for what ho gets. Wc don't want those who never intend to pay us for what they get.

This is true as far as it goes, hut it docs not fully set forth my position as announced at /arline. I.esl. I should hereafter seem to he inconsistent I think it proper to doline my position as announced there. I said that the dispensary plan, when propel ly and strictly carried out, is the host method of controlling thc liquor hallie and of curtailing the evils of liquor. That it, suits us in Abbeville and we prefer it. However, since this recent ad of tho L?gislature on thosubjoet, the benefits, if there are any, ami thc evils if them are any, which attend a dispensary aro con li nod lo tho county in which tho dispensary is located. This being so, a county may have a dispensary, or de cline lo have one, without interfering, in any way, with the rights of any other county. I can thoroforo soo no objection to allowing a county, upon the petition of one third of its qualified voters, lo vote lipon tho question of "dispensary"' or "no dispensary." Should a county vole "dispensary" allow ono to bo placed in tho county so voling. .Should 'I.e ma jority vote "no dispensary," it should he unlawful to place one in thc county so voting. Tho dispensaries should ro main as now located until ( hanged in thc manner indicated. Surely no county can object to Abbeville having her dis pensary if she desires if; on the (?(her hand, no county should desire, to force any other county lo accept a dispensary against the will of its qtUlliflod voters. I am opposed to open barrooms in any ? form, and believe that tho dispensaries should he run with a view to curtail ing the evils of whiskey drinking, ami not with a view lo making money out ol" (he hallie. This is the position which I announced at /arline, ami this is tho po sition which I shall advocate throughout I he campaign. EUA NI? ll. (L\ltv. ! Abbeville, May '-".>. .
