On Thursday, AnguBt 30th, very impressive and solemn services took place in the above church, the occa sion being the ordination to the gos pel ministry of Mr. George Henry Judd, who, for some months past, has been the pastor, in response to a unanimous call of the ohuroh. In the afternoon an examination took place, whioh lasted an hour and a half, Rev. J. D. Cbspman, I). D., being moderator. The several min isters and deacons present asking questions as well as the moderator. The candidate's answers related to his Christian experience, call to the ministry and views of Bible doctrine. At the evening meeting Rev. J. D. Chapman, D. D., of Anderson, who presided, offered tho ordination prayer and gave the charge to the church. Rev. J. R. Moore, of West minster, secretary of the Baptist Young People's Union, preached the sermon. Rev. C. S. Blaokburn, of Seneca, gave the oharge to the pas tor and delivery of the Bible, and Rev. L. M. Lyda, of Newry, also took part. As an ordination service is not frequent in Walhalla, we give a de tailed report of the evening meeting. It was opened by singing the Doxology, and prayer, offered by Rev. L. M. Lyda. Dr. Chapman then said that Mr. Judd had for many years been en gaged in Christian work, but now that ho had been called to the pas torate, the church considered his ordination desirable. He then called on J. W. Shelor, clerk to the Ordain ing Council, to read the report, which was done. The report oonoluded by saying that the presbytery found the examination to be entirely satisfac tory, and they recommended to the church that the candidate's ordina tion be proceeded with that evening. The hymn, "There Shall be Show ers of Blessing," was sung, followed by Rev. L. M. Lyda reading impres sively the oharge to a minister from Paul's first letter to Timothy. Rev. C. S. Blackburn then offered prayer, after which Mr. Judd was received by letter, from tho Metropolitan Tabernacle, London, England, into the membership of tho Walhalla Baptist church. Dr. Chapman then road the follow ing letter from Rev. Arthur W. Payne, of tho Mildmay Mission to the Jews, London, England, ad dressed to the Walhalla Baptist church : "Dear Fellow-Laborers in the Lord : It is with joy I tako my pon iif hand, greoting you in the name of our Common Master, and I desire to express my gladness and gratitudo to God that Ile has laid npon your hearts to ask my dear brothor in Christ, Mr. George H. Judd, to min ister among you for his Saviour in holy things. "He has been an intimate family friend and follow churoh membor for more than twenty years, and I owo more than I oan tell under tho good hand of God to his prayers and Christian sympathy, and kindly guidance and spiritual help. "I know that the Lord has greatly used him to the blessing of souls at home and abroad, and it gives mo { GSf SiiiiiSi ) largest amount of ) quite an improven nean to treat our ci on hand POUR CAI md farmer especial! hen. Come to see i CARTER. MARET special joy to be writing this note from Keswick, where 10,000 Chris tians are gathered from all part? of the world in holy convocation, as I am reminded of special seasons of fellowship at the throne of grace and around the Word of God I have been privileged to have with my dear brother, Mr. Judd, in company with other children of God. "1 am sure that he will make a faithful and fervent pastor and that his wido acquaintance with men and circumstances, the sins and sorrows of this world, throngh his many travels, and with various kinds of Christian effort in different lands, will fit him to help and instruct, guide and control for the glory of his oruoified and glorified Lord and Mauler, those whom he may be called to serve in His name. "I trust that (D. V.) the experi ences of Romans XV, 30 an.1 31, may be his, and of I Thessalonians I, 7th verse, to end, may be yours. "In the heartiest bonds of Chris tian fellowship, I am, "Yours faithfully, "(Rev.) Arthur W. Payne." Dr. Chapman read the passages of Scripture referred to in the letter. The hymn, "Stand up for Jesus," waa sung, after which Rev. J. R. Moore delivered an excellent sermon. He read from the 18th verse of 1st Corinthians to the 6th verse of the 2d ohapter, dwelling especially on tl\e words "For I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ and him cruoified." He said that he had learned to love the brother, who had been oalled to be the pastor, and he knew that this would be his theme ; ho knew him as one who was instant in seasion and out of season. When he visited At lanta last May ho found him buBy in personal work at Dr. Torrey's meet ings. Jesus Christ was first with Paul. There were many things that Paul could have boasted of. He mentions some in Philippians III, but he counted them as refuse for Christ, and said, "God forbid that I should glory, save in the Cross ; his life's determination was to exalt Christ and him crucified. He concluded with an earnest appeal for cousecra . ?_t _ .iT" T ,_" /"il.-.!-. rv - * : - u.Oii, Sc*y?ng Io ?JCSuo \ ni mi ll mt III your life ? Enthrone Him king in your hoart's affections to tho exclu sion of all other things ; hold up Jesus ; make your knowledge and all attainments like Paul ; serve His interests." A Russian Baron, at the Chattanooga Convention, said his greatest honor was to preach tho Gospel. "Let your consecration bo concentrated to winning the world for Christ." Then followed the ordination prayer, offered by Dr. Chapman, the candidate kneeling, while the presbytery gathered around him, plac ing their bands on his hoad. Rev. C. S. Blackburn then gave tho charge to the pastor. In his remarks he said : "It is with deep feeling that I speak to you on this occasion, my brother. Eight years ago, when you came to Persia, wo welcomed you into our home and soon recognized in you a true servant of Christ, and I thank God for tho blessing yon were to us during all tho time of your two years' stay there. My brother, God bas often used you in His" service, especially to souls in personal work, but in His oalling you into the ministry of a South Caro Cotton Seed, Meal i lent on our Ginneri istomers the nicest I Loads of Bagging y ought to use Ooo! us. You will find t WESTM1NSTE FERTILIZE T, Mana lina pastorate I believe that He has a wider sphere of usefulness for you for the remainder of your life. My first word to you is in II Timothy, IV, 1-3 : 'I charge thne, therefore, before God and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quiok and the dead at His appearing and His kingdom ; preach tho word ; be instaut in season, out of season ; re prove, rebuke, exhort with all long Buffering and dootrine, for tho time will come when they will not endure sound dootrine, but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teaohers having itching ears.' I be lieve we are in these times of 'itch ing ears,' and it behooves us to stand fast and not to seek to please men, or their approval except their con sciences. "My second word, feeling our own insufficiency for the high and holy oalling to be ambassadors of Christ, is in the 3d ohapter of Second Cor inthians : 'Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think anything as of ourselves, but our sufficiency is of God, who also hath made us able ministers of the New Testament, not of the letter, but of the spirit, for the letter killetb, but the spirit giveth life.' Not we, but the full sufficiency and impresses of the Holy Spirit. May your exp .ienco be what I have so often learned from yon, to be His 'channels only' for the inflow and outflow. I now hand you the Word of God, the sword of the spirit." Mr. Judd then rose to receive the Bible, which was delivered to him with somo more earnest words. The charge to the church was de livered by Dr. Chapman w . u much earnestness. He referred to his nineteen years of experience as a pastor. His message was from First Thessalonians, V, 12 and 13, and Galatians VI, 6 : "And we beseeoh you brethren to know them which labor among you, and are over yon in the Lord, and admonish you, and to esteem thom very highly in love for their work's sake, and be at peace among yourselves. Let him that is taught in the Word commu nicate unto him that teacheth in all good things." In his address be said : "A new relationship has been formed to-night, a sacred partner ship entered into-as sacred, next to husband and wife, as any this side of heaven, and I beseech you to know your pastor ; grow in knowledge and confidence, desiro to bo a blessing to him ; love him; pray for him, and if you pray daily for him you will take intorest in him. One day, after I had urged prayer for the pastor, a most loveable lady in Georgia, wife of an ex-Governor, ono who graced her position, came to mo and said : .I never thought of praying for tho pastor. I thought that I was thc one who needed prayer, and I only pray for myself.' This is very self ish. Agree to pray for and co-ope rate and feel interest in the work of tho pastor. Don't talk against him bobind his back, back-bite, some critioise sermons, etc., and take away all good impressions. It is impossi ble to get good if you critioise. It destroys his influence. Do not allow gossips. Help to make the preach ing effective by saying good things. Talk up your ohuroh works ; invite others to go to o '- ; tell them what good sermons J hear ; help visitors to feel at home and enjoy the service. When I went to the and Hulls in Ocone< es this season, and we know how and and Ties that we wi king Oil. It is th< his Cooking Oil at R OIL& ?R COMPANY. ?er, Wet Metropolitan Tabernaole, in London, England, last year, the kind word of welcome ; the loan of the hymn book, eto., made me fetal at home at once. Galatians VI, 8, tells ns to look after temporal wants. He teaches you the Word, gives you spirtual good things. You are to communi cate to him temporal good things, and the average preacher in South Carolina to-day has need of them. He has to eat and to wear olothes ; he cannot live on air and sunshine. Some churches forget this. I have heard that some only pay the pastor at the end of a year. How can he keep out of debt like that ? If he is in debt it is the fault of his flock. Why caunot all pay on the-first-of the-month system ? Then if he is in debt it is his own fault. Think of ways in wbioh you oan assist him, and may God bless you all, and give His servant His Holy Spirit." The following hymn, composed by the newly-ordained pastor, wai then sung to the tune "Boylston,' tho congregation being asked to use it as a prayer : O Holy Spirit, work, With Thy reviving power;. Revive in me a zealous love For Jesus from this hour. O keep me dead to sin, To self and worldly foo, That'crucified with Christ,' henceforth His life through me may How. Illumine thou Thy word; To me God's will make clear, And Christ reveal, and in his steps Lead, as His call I bear. Fill thou thy temple, rule My actions day by day, To glorify God's holy name, And show His praise alway. Touch thou my lips with fire, To witness to His grace, On Calvary's Cross, to sinners lost, That they may seek His face. Thus heart and life and lips, Will consecrated be, To my dear Saviour, Lord and King, Who gave Himself for me. With joy I then shall meet With saints, my coming Lord, And in Hisdmage glorified, Forever serve and laud. Tho benediotion was then pro nounced. A Lesson in Health.

Columbia, September 6.-To pre vent actual bloodshed and the possi ble dynamiting of school property, some of the best citizens of Abbeville took a hand in what they feared was a grave situation, and as a result Harbison negro college at Abbeville is olosed and the president of the in stitution has gone to other dimes. From what little can be learned here the notice of the aotual resigna tion of the president was received to day. It is a somewhat long story, the details of which are not all rele vant. Harbison college has been in a flourishing oondition in Abbeville for some time. It gets its money largely through the Northern Pres byterian church and all ot its money comes from the North for the educa tion of the colored youth. The trouble which has just culmi nated in bis enforced resignation was a statement he is alleged to have made to the graduating class at the close of the college last spring. Ho told the chases that the conduct ot the oolored race so far had brought the white women to the kitchen and if they kept up the good work of in dependence that it would bring them to the wash tub also. He hoped that none of his graduates would work for white people in subordinate or menial capacities. On the occasion of the unveiling of the Confederate monument negroes got so boisterous that it was necessary to knock a few in the bead and run others out of town and it is said a riot was narrowly averted. The people of Abbeville have had enough of the negro college and it is not likely that the college will open again.
