CoLbUMBIA, S. C., Oct. 28.-The lteg
ister of this morning publishes thi
following, which was signed by Mr. W
G. Towne., Editor of the Aiken Times
"II a' conversation with Mr. F. P
letlerson of this city, who is presi
(font of the Hank of Aiken and a linan
cier of great ability, he said: This is k
matter of vital importance to our peo
pie and I think the most feasible plat
for the ftndin:r of the State's debt ii
to get, the banks of the State, or a
many as will, to take bonds at a rea
sonaBlie rate of interest, in proportioi
to their capital stock, and then let thi
State Treasurers and treasurers o
the different countie.; place thei
deposits with suck banks. Th
main object of this plan is ti
revive confidence in the SLate's at
eurites abroad by showing outsid,
capitalists that our own banks are no
afraid of our State's securites and tha
they of the household know, as other
do not, that our people will not repu
diate any of their just debts.
"For the furtherance of this plai
Mr. Henderson suggests that the presi
dents of the different banks have
meeting at no distant day and conside
the advisabilibr of the above plan fo
the -ettleinent of our State's indebted
ness.
"Thlis idea of Mr. IIenderson's relativ
to the partial assumption of the State'i
indebtedness by our bankss is by fit
the most practicable plan for replacing
confidence in our banks that 1 hav
yet heard, and it would be well foi
our people to consider and act upon it
"If only $500,000 worth of the bond
were taken by our State banks it wouk
induce Northern capitalists to taki
them mora willingly. Besides, it wouh
be a very good iivtstment for then
the 8 ate banks, as it would centre th
State's deposits, and in the dull sum
ner they could hypothecate the bond
with Northern bankers, or the bond
could be held as a parc of the reserv
fund that banks are required to kee
on hand."

j. the power of Christ,ian song has y
it been fully tried. I helieve that if yc
could roll the "Old llundred" doxoloa

that the discords, and the sorrows. and r
M the sins of the world are to be swept u

Some one asked Haydn. the celebirat- c
ed musician, why he always composed I
such cheerful music. 'Why," he said,
ut "I can't do otherwise When I think of tj
God my soul is so full ofj-y that the o
iotes leap and dance from my pen." I it
wish we might all exult melodiously be- b
of fore the Lord. With God for our Fath- r
d r and Christ for our Saviour, and heav- it
en for our home, and angels for future ti
ie companions, and eternity for a litetime, (
is we should strike all the notes of joy. a
. Going throu.-h the wilderness of ttiis fi
world let us remember that we are on
I the way to the summery clime of heav- i
0. en, and from the migratory populations a
a flying through this autumnal air learn
Ie always to keep singing
w Children of the heavetly king,
it As ye journey sweetly sing, n

Glorious in his works and waye. y

le in the way your fathers tra d,
a They are happy now, and we tt
e Soon their happiness shall see.
C The church of God never will be a tri
umphaHt church until it becomes a sing
in church.
I go further and remark that the birds
of the air arc wiser than we in the flact
that in their migration they fly very
high. During the summer, when they
are in the tields, they often come within
t reach of the gun but when, they start for it
ft the annual flight southward they take ii
I heir places midheaven and go straightas lr
an arrow to the mark. The longest rifle a'
that was ever brought to shoulder can- a'
u not reach them. Would to God that we la
,1 were as wise as the stork and crane in n
our flight heavenward! We fly so low
L ,hat we are within easy range of the tt
world, the flesh and the devil. We are tl
brought d >wn by temptations that ou-it lf
not to come within a mile of reaching ic
us. ki
Oh, for some of the faith of George cc
Muller, of England, and Alfred Cook- ti
It
m an, once ot the church militant, now of bi
the church triumphant! So poor is the bi
type of piety in the church of God now al
that men actually uaricature the iea
u that there is any such thing as a higher ai
life. Moles never did believe in cagles. aI
But, my brethren, because we have not W
reached these heights ourselves. sh Ill w
we deride the fact that there are any bi
such heights? in
A man was once talking to Brunel, 0
le the famous enagincer, about the lentth of' w
V
the railroad from London to Bristol.
d) The engineer said: "It is not very ,
great. We shall have ater, awhile a
steamer runaing from England to New n
ly York." Thcy laughed him to scorn, g
i but we have gone so far now that we ti
, h4ve ceased to laugh at anything as
impossible for human achievenent. c
1c Then, I ask, is an) thing impossible for i
Ic the Lord? [ (1 not, believc that God o
le exhausted all his grace in Paul and I2 ti- 13
mer ,ad Edward Playson. I believe b
there are higher points of Christ,ian at- 0'
tainment, to be reached in the future w
ages of the Christian world.
You tell me that Plaul wct. up to Ilhe
c tiptop of lie Alpi of Christain attain- I
ment. Then I tell you that the stork
-' and crane have found above the Alps r$
plenty of room for free flyit,g. We go It
out and we conquer our temptations by si
the grace of God ain( lie down. On the Im
morrow those temptations rally them-. i
selves and attack t1R, and by the grace 01 is
God we deeat them again; hut staNimug ti
is all the time in the old encampment we G
Ie have t,he same 01(1 battles t.o fight over. C3
1YWhy inot whlipl out our temtjlations, andi
then torward march, making one raid cl
C L,brouLih the enemiy's country, stoppling~ s
Snot until we break ranks after the last 01
victory? ai
a D)o, my brethren, let, us have some
a novelty of combat atany rat,e by chanug- kn
r- ing, by going on, by making advance
hi, ment, trading oflf our stale prayers about, m
on sins we ought to have quit long ago, go- frm
r ing On toward a higher state of Chris- im
as tian chairacter, andl, rout,ing out of slas ai
se that, we have never t,b'ought, of' yet,. The 1I
e- iw ' is, if the church of God, if' we, as in
ig divuals made rapid alvancement, in tihe y<
of Chirist,ain lic, these sLi'coL,yped prayers ai
we have been making for ten or fifteen y<
mi years would lbe as inapptroriate to us as 01

oAnd thinie to us so great ?
p Again, I remark that the birds of the
~a air mare wiser than we because they know
of when to) start. If' you should go out
, now andi shorut, "~St.lp, storks and
. cranes; don 't be in a hnemrr!"' t,hey would
ir say: "No. we canniot stop; last night
we heard the roaring in the woods hid
dinhg us away, and t,he shrill flute of the ci
e north wind has,5sounded the retreat. We hi
11 must go. We must go." So they gather
y~ themiselvss into companies, and turning
onot asidle from storm or mountain top Of
~e or shock of musketry, over land and1( sea, SI
). straighit as an arrow to the mark, they
~e go. And if yon come out this morning K
with a sack of corn and thitow it in the
y ields5 and try to get t,hem to stopl, they tc
e are so fa&r up they would hiardlly Pee it. Il
s They are ons their way south. You pj
t c'muld not,stop them. f
SOh, that we were as wise about the c)
