^m For the Times. A Man's Fall Kay be Qod'S CallDr. Huggins in last wosks ' Times" struck 1 the key note in every christian heart when he said ' the ouiec of Clyitt would suffer no baok-iot f.otn the fall of a Minister of this Men of Tiistly more iufluenee and intelli^ gcnce have before this had a downfall with out hiudraoce to the cause which all chris^ tiaos bnve so much at heart. Did Beecher's cro kednesi injure the Presbyterian Church T It so:ms almost a travesty to ci'e this as a cone par Is >n, when we oensider the great ? difference in the men, iat^actually. w - (Rome people cannot stood prosperity, end H athtlatioH. It was notably ss with this man. * His dowofall otmr, to somo, like a clap of thunder from n c'o*r sky. It may be, Qod gives woman a keener intuition than man, for truth compels me to own I w.is not at alt surprised ; nor am I cast down. I have no fears that God's purpoio- will be frustrated or His plan of re tempt on cliaugod. I earnestly hopo this will be a lesson to all churches, of whatsoever denomination, to put their trust iu God and not in man. lli'inortlio noblo calling ot a'l ministers, .regarllo-S of sect or creel; but his life 1 * ^hu'st conform t-> his preaching. What is a ' T ' >reaohcr but a man? They are no angels. * They, n> doubt, have the name trials, at rug- J blesand many of the temptations that we have. 1 have much more confidence in the sincerity of any man's religion, who will ] frankly own be has a hard lime to keep him- t *tlf straight. ( Let us draw a veil of ohaity over the < . orrors of this obco seemingly prosperous i minister. If his call to preach was from 1 Qod, and bo is made of the right kind of I materid, he will rise from these troubles a better man.. He will rea'iko his own weak* * ** Bess and that it is possible at times for oren a proaoher to sin, and will go right to the foot of the oroes for help, comfort aud guid- ( ance. There he will find sure help, whioh ; never fail* I ; To hie former adorers I say, take heart of j gr?ce, you will find this (to you) heavy ; stroke of fato, ab!e3sing in disguise. Tour church was getting off the right traok, and 1 consider your miniver largely, but uoi I altogether, responsible for it. My hesri goes ' out in sympathy for his aged Fothor, a good, true-christian, I believe. Wrong is wrong, 1 don't believe in that weak, silly sentimentality which tries to mako wrong seem ricrllt. To sustain n. man in l>i> badnexs, oven though ho be your own flesh and blood, is not a virtue but a weakness. This applies with just hs much lorce even though he bo or may havo boon your pastor. g I suppose sometimes it is quite possible for i even a minister (obo a prodigal. I am sorry 8 to say there is a bind of superstitious halo thrown around the heads of most prodigals, i doub'less originating from the divine parable or the human corruption of it; only people forget how that prodigal son, afire saying "I will arise," did rtally ante, leaving behind him his riotous living, his husks and swine. He goes to his father, humbled and poor; his father welcomes, loves and forgives him. But most prodigal sons bring J their husks and their swine with them, nor ' 0 ever condescend to say "I have sinned." 0 They appear neither hungry nor naked, but ' quite cheerful and comfortable. It never f occurs to some of them to forsake their sins, nor feel any more peuitence thin is picturesque or convenient to show. A Lot us hope this ministerial prod-gal will w|, be as honest in his professions as the prodigal of whom the Master tells. j L. C. J. For the Times. Mr. Editor: I intended to let my pen rest awhile and devote more time to my little farm, but the stir in political circles, t County meetings, and a big convention at f the Siate oapitol, all in March. loo. have e brought on auother spoil of that o'.il disease, a eacvclhe* tcribendu How is it, two years ago it was considered by some, a serious offense b to hold a political convention in March, t Mars, from whioh our third month derives its ' name, was the Roman Qod of war; hence, as there is a warfare being waged against Gov. I Tillman, it is supposed to be legitimate to s hold conventions, iovoko the aid of the Roman deity, or do anything else that will contribute to his overthrow. Two ye trs ago the convention in Columbia was the result of a popular uprising of y the farmers and other laboring classes, to consult as to the matter of reform in the State government. We claimed then and still claim tbo right to assemble peaceably to ? consult upon matters pertaining to our inter- , R* 0 est and welfare. Tho only error pommitted Wjh the nomination of Governor and Lieu't. Governor, whioh you know I opposed and | voted against. Now it would be inconsistent , m . io me not to grant the enne right to thore c ' . compoeiog tho lato convention. le this not eauoe for the gander, friend Stokes f But, I Alas. I have tust been informed that, tli* meeting la Culumbia has nominated a full . rft State tioke', thereby commit ting a more f it. grievous error than that of two years ago. ^ |> But as Tillman is the fly in the ointment " |[ just now, I want to say something about him j1 | and his administration. I wish to state in I the outset, (lest I be charged with being g I prejudiced in his favor) that I had no pecu- . I, liar attachment for Ti I man, I voted for him II because hj^ras the representative of princi- 1 It pbs that|Icheriahel. 1 would have as freely ' l| T?i(ed for Earle had he been in Tilltnau's I plaee. Again, 1 voted for him because he I #nh the choice of a majority of the people. 1 ft I aupv^se bo ou'e wilt deny our Governor thcpjg^it to tbe benefit of the old adage. I 'tQ|?e the devi) his due," I TjUman did wrong in urging the nomination K Of gtate officers in the convention. But .o more criminal than those who voted for > Btate officers in the late convention. He baa 1 B Q'ntmitiod errors, no doubt, during his 1 H ^^HLdminUiration. But 1 ask, who could fill 1 H MP* governor's office two years without doing " H ^flftVbmething wrong, confronted by the press of 1 W I ha Hf.t? nhanu l .ilk -.-ll? -? V VH?M^?I4 TTIVU UIH'IVO mwir " ' thought, sod in his rear a thousand blood* 1 B hounds thirsting for his blood. In fact would it not hare bsen mors manly and magnanimous in his political enemies, after > K. he was dniy elected by the people T to have extended to him their +id abd sympathy, than to have combined to make his adH ministrtitlon k fa lure. All the gorerncrs H South Carolina ever bad oombioed, never t^A had to carry such a load of abuse, ridicule '/<* and misrepresentation as he has borne. Nothing has been left undone that a maliJB gnant spirit, prejudice and hatred could Bfcent to aooomplish thia purpose. Ilis ' H have been magnified, his lsngusge ' wBonstrued, and his motives impugnsd. 1 The beautiful mantle of chart* y has not beeu ' oast about his shoulders, bat is trailing io e M the dnsl at the feet of hie onomlee.
