REV. BILLY SUNDAY AT BOSTON. Impresses Oconoe ?Minister, Now Chaplain in the Navy. U. S. S. Melville, Boston Mass., I>ec. 5.-Fdltor Keowee Courier: When good things come to me 1 al ways think of friends hack in Oco noe that I would like to have share them. Of course this is not always possible but so far as I am able to. 1 want to pass this special good thing along to as many as will read it. In this city there is a revival in progress such as this world has never seen. The preaching is being done by Rev. William Sunday, D. D., or, as ho is better known, "Billy" Sun day. For this special service the good people of Boston erected a Tabernacle that seats 17,000 people, and will hold 20,060-tho largest building ever erected in the world for religious purposes-and, strange to say, this vast building is filled to the limits two and three hours be foro the time for the sermon, and thousands are turned away, for I have seen and was one of 15,000 who could not gain admittance on the night of November 17th, when there were 17,000 students to hear tho sermon. Greater things are happening in Boston to-day than I ever dreamed it would bo my privilege to witness or ever expected to see in this old .world. Alroady 17,500 have been converted, and the city is stirred from center to circumference, and the devil is on the run as sure as you live. Last Sunday afternoon Mr Sunday Spoke to men only. There were 18, 000 men present at this service. More than 1,200 were converted at this one .service, and twice as many reconsecrated their lives. As Mr. Sunday pictured the awfulness of sin and its effects, man after man fainted and were carried out of the tabernacle like dead men. Remem ber, these were men, not women; and lt was not due lo bad ventila tion, for the ventilation of the tab ernacle is looked aller by exprets. lt was due to their guilt and conviction of the .sins pictured with all the power of a man sent from Clod; the truth went home to their hearts and men cried out for help; and, as is always the case when men turn to God in earnest, many-to be exact 1.220 - found a Great Saviour. Twenty-eight hundred years ago a Prophet of God cried ont, in Hosea 10:12. "For it is time to seek the Lord." Surely thal warning is need ed to-day. and 1 believe that William A. Sunday is as much a prophet to tho 2Ot li century as were Hosea or Isaiah ol' old. There is no need to he ashamed ol* the fact thal yon are a follower of the Man of Nazareth, but rather tho men of this city are ashamed ol' their sins, lt is not only the right thing, and only thing, to he n Christian, but K H thc popular thing. Listen u> nie! Tlu ilay is roi::i>i? and 1 expect to live to see lt - when ?t will be tho! popular thing lo be ?i Christian I li rou ghoul the world Tb >.< e an army el 20,000 souls crowded into a great taber nacle to see thousands turned away because there is no more room; to hear a great choir of 4,000 trained voices sing His pm Iso, and to sec thousands )>cing saved, is enough to molt a heai t of stone and cause the world to sing out indeed and in truth, "Praise (?od from whom all .icssings How!" If, under the de nunciation of sin by "Billy" Sunday, men faint and become as dead men, men groan the groans of death and rush from Hie building weeping tears of sorrow, what do you suppose will happen when, before God, "livery tongue shall confess and every knee shall bow?" From afar, I want to cry out to those people that I love-the people of Oconec-"For it is time to seek the Lord." "Repent ye! and turn to God." With kind recollections and prayer 1 romcmher the good people back at home. Milton O. Alexander, Chaplain U. S. X. P. S.-I have had to write hurried ly, as there are many matters press ing me at this time. I have asked one of my men (a sailor) to write his impression of Mr. Sunday for nie, and I will send it to you. I think it worthy of your most cultured read ers. I am glad to let. tho world know that sailors are real men. and many of them good men. M. O .A.

Parcels containing glass or other fragile matter should ho endorsed "FRAGILE." Likewise perishable matter should bo endorsed "PER ISHABLE." In addition lo a plain and full ad dress, tho name and address of the sender should bo placed in upper left i hand corner, preceded hy the word "from." Parcels may be endorsed "Do not ! open till Christmas,' "Morry Christ- ! mas." "Happy New Year," "Best ! Wishes," or any similar inscription. J Other written matter subjects a par- ! eel to first-class rate. Valuable parcels should bo insur ed.

TOOK GOOD ADVICE. lt is Just Wonderful," Says Starr Woman, Telling How She < 'onibatted Troubles. After suffering twelve years, tho last several months of which wore so severe that she believed herself on the verge of the grave, .Mrs. Ella Evans, ol' Starr, S. C., Route 4, found great and almost complete relief In the ilrst. bottle of Tanbie she took. "It seemed almost like a miracle the way Tan lac worked," she said. Mrs. Evans was interviewed at the home of her son-in-law, CC. Crocker, ol' I 1 Prince street, Anderson. Her statement follows: "I suffered very badly from sto mach trouble for twelve years before I began taking Tanbie, and it seemed that no medicine would break up my trouble. Frequently I would have terrible spoils, and my heart, sto mach and nerves would get out of order all at once and I would nearly die with these attacks. 1 had lost hope and I did not believe I would ever get well. Also I had a very bad bowel trouble with these attacks. My nerves wore In a terrible fix and my heart fluttered a great deal. "I could not sleep well, and I was so weak I could hardly walk. Though I had the best of medica) attention, I got no better. I live in the country, I but when I came hero to visit rela tives I did not know that I would live to get back home. "My relatives here persuaded nie to take Tnnlac and I consented. I have just, finished my first bottle. 1 am a great deal stronger now in every way and I have not had one of those attacks since I began taking Tanlnc. My nerves aro much stronger, and my stomach, liver, bow els and heart have been strengthened and regulatod. 1 have a good appe tite now, also. "Tho very first dose of Tanlnc brought a change for tho bettor and if. seemed Uko a miracle the way Tanbie worked. I stopped all other treatment when I bogan Tanlac. In every way Tanlac bas made my health bettor and I bolieve I am on tho road to completo recovery. It ls just wonderful."
