J The Union Sunday-School Conven- | tion met at the Aiken Presbyterian Church, at a little after 10 o'clock last j Thursday morning, ds advertised for several weeks in both the Aiken pa pers. Owing to the absence of the President, P. A. Emanuel and the Hon. D. S. Henderson, the addresses of welcome and response had to be omitted; but the Rev. J. A. Dow in behalf of the Aiken Sunday-schools, gave a hearty welcome to the dele gates from the County. Vice-President, H. B. Burckhalter, took the chair and conducted the Con vention in an admirable inauner. The Convention was organized by the delegates handing in their names and those of the schools they represented. Although not over ball of the schools in the Union were represented, the attendance was the largest that has been had in any of the Conventions. After the organization was effected, the Convention adjourned to the Schuetzen Platz, where the old officers of the Convention were re-elected, viz.: P. A. Emanuel, President; D. S. Henderson, 1st Vice-President; J. P. Weathers bee, 2nd Vice-President; H. B. Burckhalter, 3rd Vice-President; E. J. C. Wood, Secretary and treasury. * Tiie Convention was lirst addressed by the Rev.

On Thursday morning last, about two o’clock in the day, Mrs Polly Hmith, wife of James Smith, of Giddy Swamp Township, was thrown from a wagon iu front of Mr. David Wise’s residence aud two of her ribs broken. 8he was taken to the office of Dr. B. F. Wyman, w'hereshe received proper medical attention and was driven home iu the evening by Mr. Fulmer in a two horse wagon, provid ed with a sofa for her comfortable transportation. Dr. Wvman says that one of the broken ribs lias punctured the lung and that serious consequenc es may result. At the time of the accident she was being driven by her husband, who was in aimsst a help less state of intoxication. The flue young mule they were driving took fright, one of the reins was dropped, and the wagon overturned aud smash- ith him- he lives twenty-flve miles oft,but when he comes he always makes up for lost time. To the Christian Women of Aiken. Awake! awake! from your lethargy and indifference! The trail of the ser pent is in our beautiful Town. He strikes right and left, none are safe. Oh! won’t you come aad help the lew who are trying to overthrow this reat enemy of the human family? Ve plead in tho name and for the sake of the poor, weary, overburdeu- ed wives and mothers, aud the help less and innocent children. “We share our mutual woes. Our mutual burdens bear. And often for each other flows, The sympathizing tear.” For over a year some of our Chris tian sisters have labored hard in sea son and out of season for the great Temperance cause, and while we feel a little has been done, it is not a tithe of what has to be done. Wo have toiled in much weakness, but the Lord is on our side and we are strong, but we want you, mothers, wives and sis ters to help us iu the fight. Those who will consecrate them selves to this work, are requested to meet at the Baptist Church on Fri day 31st, at 6W o’clock, when new of ficers will be elected and a very im portant letter from Miss Farrow, of Spartanburg, will be read in relation to the work of the W.

That the thanks of the Aiken County Sunday-School Union, are due and hereby extended to the Manager of The Aikkx Re- roRHKK for courtesies aud favors ex tended. from the dangers of infidelity ?’’ Dr. Junkin began by saying that although it was with considerable inconven ience to himself, it was with pleasure that he stood before tills Convention iu response )o the flattering request of their -President. When he first read the question on whicli he was to lec ture he thought that it was, “How can we protect the young from the dangers of infidelity?” which ques tion opened a very broad field of dis cussion ; but on reading it the second time he saw it was, “How can we bent protect the young from the dangers of iutidelity? He emphasized the Word "beat,” because there could be but one best, and therefore, it made it eouiparitively easy for him to answer the question before him. The question he said was a very important one,for in- lldelity was aggressive and never had it been more so than at tiie present day. Huppose their were two politi cal parties iu the country, aud one of tliem could get its principles impress ed on the minds of the rising geiA:ra- tiou, could we doubt but that party would eventually get control of the country? 8o it was that, if we let in fidelity capture the strong-hold of the minds of the young, Christianity would have to retreat and leave this great Country in the hands of tho in fidels. The best means of protecting tiie young from infidelity, was to im press upon them and instill into their minds the truths of the Bible. There was need that more Bible should be taught in the home, the school, tho 8uuday-school aud the pulpit. That the minds of the young being filled with the truth of the Bible, we need not fear for them to go into the temptations of the professions or busi ness, for the minds being tilled with the wheat, there would be no room for the chaff. In tho Bundi^school now, the Bible is not lear >jfel enough to use the good old Baxon phrase by heart, that the children^Iould learn their Bunday-school like do anything, we do not go about it in a round-about manner, aud say do not do so aud so, but we say do so, and in expressing a truth we simply lay down tho lact. So it is wjtii tho Uiblo, it says simply that in the beginning God created the worltl, it (Joes not tell of the means, or that the world was created by the action of general laws. The two greatest mysteries to man are God and man. .... A little child once asked its mother, if God made man who made Goff? This endeavor to find out, God has beeu at the foundation of every false religion, whether orieutial or classical that has ever existed. As every effect must have a cause, without a sound there could bo no echo; so that it has beeu said that the existence of the con science is the strongest proof of the existence of a God. Every man no matter how degraded has a conscience. Although, we may have to scrape on the crust placed upon it by centuries of crime, we will vet find the greatest barbarian in the jungles of Africa has a standard of right and wrong, al though it may greatly differ from ours. There is no man who lives ufi to his own standard of virtue. Dr. Junkin -•aid that the gjeatest hero’s have been believers. That it was because John Howard believed that iu stjr y* his fallen fellow-man, he could Annual Meeting of the Grand Divi sion of 8outh Carolina—Important Proceedings, and the Election of Officers for the Eusuiug Year. On Wednesday night, the 22nd of July, at 8 o’clock at the Hall of the Knights of Pythias, in the city of Columbia, the Grand Division of Sous of Temperance assembled for the busi ness of its annual meeting. This body representing as it does, the Bupreme Council of tho Order iu the State of South Carolina is never a very numerous body,as only those who have been presiding officers of subor dinate Divisions are eligible for mem bership. It makes laws for the government of the Divisions within its jurisdiction aud recognizes no superior authority, I honor aAd res but that of- the National Division. | gift of tb«L Or There has been some /ailing off iu the number of Divisions during the past year, owing to the universal growth of the Temperance sentiment which is culminating in dry towns and counties. Strange as it may appear, these much desired events have contributed iu no small degree to the inaction of some of the subordinate Divisions, tliey declaring that with the suppres sion of the traffic in liquor their mis sion had ended. Never was their a greater fallacy, as with the growth of a healthy Temperance sentiment; all Temperance organizations should ad vance their banners, aud strive by every means in their power to direct and control public sentiment In the best interests of humanity,and encour age a faithful enforcement of those laws devised for the protection of society, from tho direful scourge of the liquor traffic. The meeting just held, was charac terized by earnest, thoughtful and well digested work for the future, embrac ing a plan of operations which will make itself felt from one end of the State to the other. From 8 o’clock Wednesday to 10 o’clock Thursday night, four sessions were held, characterized by great har mony and intensity of purpose, which means greater activity and increased strength and prosperity du ring the ensuing /ear. The following extracts from ti e report of the com mittee, charged with the considera tion of the reports of the Grand Worthy Patriarch and Grand Scribe, whicli consisted of (Jims. E. R.

The re port of the committee was carefully considered and adopted unanimously. The following are the extracts: “We recommend that a delegate be appointed by the Grand Worthy Pa triarch to attend the National Divi sion, aud also one to attend the Cen tennial Celebration in Philadelphia, and that some means be adopted by this Grand Division to meet their ex penses.” “That in order to re-organize old Di visions and estalish new ones, we rec- mend that two State Deputies be on^^tt the uuner part Editor of U<*v.

While there were not as many addi tions as were hoped lor, yet thechurch was greatly revived and strengthened The meeting resulted in three addi tions to the church. The audiences were large both day and night, and the in terest and attention were solemn and impressive during tiie entire meeting. Pastor J . D. Peacock has had charge of this church for two years and his faithful work is having a beneficial effect on the church and community. Full of zeal aud emthusiastn, thor oughly niissionory in spirit and a friend to enterprise and progress, Mr. Peacock is exerting a wholesome in- j lluence on the Mt.

Dr. J un- kiu was quite eloquent and graceful in his gestures, aud his lecture was greatly enjoyed. Tne Convention now took a recess of an hour, when the crowd deserted the hall to repair to the grove, where tables were spread with all things to tempt the appetite. Ample justice was done by all to the least, and after repairing to the hull they wore addressed by the Rev. \. Coke Smith, who spoke on the In ter-national Sunday-School Lesson System, and told how it wasorganizeu aud of the labors of Dr. Vincent, ot New Jersey, in its behalf. His lec ture was very much enjoyed. A resolution was passed thanking the Schuetzen Club for the use ot their grounds, and one thanking I he .\UvEX Recorder uihI tiie Journal aud Review for courtesies extended iu publishing their advertisements. It was moved to change the time ot the meeting from July to October. This question was discussed, but it was left in tho hands of the Execu tive-Committee to appoint the time and place of the next meeting. 1 lie fol lowing gentlemen were elected dele gates to the State Convention, to meet next mouth at Columbia: Delegates—P. A. Emanuel, J. R. Dow, L. \V. Mims G. W. Hatcher, Mr. Cullum. „ „ Alternates—Rev. T. P. Hay, F. Jones, H. B. Burckhalter, H. Walker, C. K. Henderson. Tiie Rov. T. P. Hay then addressed the Convention on how to have a full Sunday-school. Mr. Hay said that some how it was his fortune iu as semblies of this kind always to be put at the “tail-end” of tiie programme, and be did not know that it was be cause lie was more able to retain the interest of the assembly than the oth ers; but that he would be short in his lecture.

AH the exercises were inte aud that an effort be made to vis: ring the year, each Division under our jurisdiction. That the Charter fee be appropriated, and also other means devised for raising funds to meet their expenses.” “We recommend that the matter bf more frequent meetings of the Grand Division be left to the discretion of the Grand Worthy Patriarch, who may, If he deem it necessary, call an additional meeting during the year, and at such time as he may deem most convenient." "We recommend that a Committee on Real Estate bo appointed, with the Grand Worthy Patriarch elect as chairman ex-officio, and that this committee be urged to look after this interest aud report to the next meeting of the Grand Division." "We recommend that the personal property of the Grand Division be looked alter by the same committee that is appointed to look after real estate, aud that all be collected as soon as possible." Tiie following section is probably the most important action of the Gram} Division, as it defines the posi tion of the Order in this State gard to prohibition: “That while it is the special mis sion of this Division to rescue the fal len and to promote the principles of total abstinence, we give it as our de cided opinion, that our Order should always throw the weight of its inilu- ence in favor of the entire prohibition of the liquor traffic." Tliis is a trumpet blast of no uncer tain sound, and should, inspire the Temperance army throughout the whole State, to deeds of devotion and self-sacrifice for the advancement of the glorious cause. Tim following preamble and resolu tions were also adopted: Whereas the time has come, in our opinion, tor more definite work in the cause of Teraperanpe, and as this can only be done by having well digested plans of operation, and the co-opera- tion of all Temperance bodies in our State, therefore, be it Resolved. That this Grand Division thinks it wise to have a joint Confer ence of its Executive Officers aud tiie Executive Officers of tiie Independent Order of Good Templars, and the Wo man’s Christian Temperance Union and the Executive Committee ap pointed by the State meeting of Tem perance Workers’. Rcsolxed. That the Gn\nd \\ ortby Patriarch be instructed to enter into correspondence with the presiding officers of above named bodies with ’tiie view of accomplishingsuidobject, the time and place of meeting to be arranged by them. , . , , The following was also adopted af ter many very kind aud complimenta ry remarks: Resolved. That this Division recog nize the earnest and efficient work done for the cause of Temperance by The Aiken Recorder, and that we bid its Editor a hearty God-speed; in his noble efforts in this behalf. The writer of these lines cannot give utterance to his feelings of grati tude for the expressions of apprecia^ lion ami approval, which he lias re ceived from his co-workers in a great cause. He can only say that what he has done, lie has done without fear and without favor, liecause he is actuated by a sense of duty, both to God, and man, and with humble trustfulness in a Mercitul Providence, he firmly believes Ii6 will be sustained iu his humble but determined efforts, to pro mote a cause which contributes to the glory and honor of our Creator anil Preserver, by promoting the moral and material welfare of His creatures. The enterprising town of LeesvUIe, in Lexington County, was chosen as the place for the next annual meeting. Centrally located aud with a spleudid ball for the meeting place and ample to the wispes of his distinguished co- workeis, l/e would devote every mo ment of time to the advancement of the Order, that he could consistently spare from his duties to his family and his profession. Ho earnestly and pleadingly invoked the active and hearty co-operation, not only of every member of the Grand Division, but of every subordinate Division in the State. He said they must, uphold his arms and (earnestly co-operate in all that lie Jiyight devise for| the good of If they did this, the sun ance would shine with in- land triumphant splendor mines and firesides of our beloved State. For the love of their wives and children, the State, their country and their God, he invoked their eheqrful, earnest, sympathy in the cares knd duties ot the high office to which | their partiality had called him. Tho address lasted about fifteen minutes and was listened to with profound attention, and at its close was reciivod with enthusiastic ap plause. From the extracts of the committee report, it will be observed that this will in all probability be an eventful year in ti>e history of tho Order. As soon as practicable, the Grand Worthy Patriarch will announce the appoint ment of two deputies for the State, and also the committee on Real Es tate and Personal Property, and also Deputies for each Bub-ordinate Divi sion, am^'ill attend to the important ’ence and various other ailing bis attention.
