Morrison, of Clemson College, president of the association, in beautiful eulogistic 'terms intro duced Mr Koesler, of Gre?nvillo, who made a most oxcellent address on tho positive and negative standard of religion.

Me gave tho parable of tho rich farmer, whose harvest was so great that he had not room to bestow lils fruits and goods, and said that, this man had probably kept all tho commandments, ..for niuo of tho commandments contained "thou shall not." and this rich man had probably observed them all his Ufo, but his failuro was- in not using tho goods for Gio Lord. So in the parable of Dives and Lazarus. There ls nothing In the parable to provo that Dives evrtr broke tho laws of "thou shalt not," hui the "Thou shalt lovo thy neighbor ns thyself"-Christ's com ma nd ni ont. pf DOING, wns what Di vos failed to obey, and therefore ho was lost. "There was never, in.nil history," said Mr. Rooster, "a people who did not believe that there ls a day of reckoning, a day to glvo an nccount of tho deeds dono In the body, and wo shall bo Judged by what wo do and not by what wo do not do. We aro not only to koop tho command ments hy not doing what God for bids, but wo should llvo a positivo, aggressive lifo of doing, and not a negative lifo alone." Tho next address was given by Prof. I). W. Daniel, of Clemson Col lege, whoso thorne was "Fighting tho Devil." and as tho very nanto of tho speaker and tho aubjoct selected would suggest, the address was force ful and suggestive of some offoctunl ways of fighting tho devil.
