jbi ttie auvancementof Christianity in
South Carolii^iJMjI> . :The
Anniversary Meeting which should
have been held in 1805i was omitted on
account of the distracted coadilion of the
-country. The last occasion of our assembling,
as a society, was on May >12tb, 1864,
in the Church of the Advent, Spnrtnnburg;
since which time, owing to Mie ravages of
war, and the j0j^peratpftinto various .parts
of the S tafir- o? tofr Nrotembers. .It bns not"Vr.

Never was there a wider field open before
lis, or more urgent .need for vigorous exertions.
The condition of our Diocese, in
Mrtto-reject* is>9pt jinlijc* tliiat which induced
our fathers lo organize this Society
for Missionary work.
The depressed circumstances in which
the war has left our people makes combination
for the support of the Gospel most imperative.
Many once flourishing Parishes
are without the ability to sustain the ministrations
of the Church. Congregations
.whiotabave becn self-supporting will now
need the nursing care and protection of
this Board. The call for Missionaries to.re-build
"the wastb places of Zion" is loud
and earnest. The condition of the clergy
in alaaoat every Parish jg one of Straight
ened means and reduced incomes. The
ability of the planters to sustain tbo labors
.of Missionaries among the negroes is great,ly
lessened, while the demand for faithful
,preaching of the Gospel and other labors
.of Christian love among the freedmen .is
the strongest possible. We have, as a ?o.ciety,
a great work to do, and the survey
of the .field through our whole State is
enough to excite the most languid, $nd stir
.the heart of the rooBt indifferent.
The Church in this Diocese looks to U9
first to aid in her revival. The duty of
"strengthening the things that remain,
which are ready to die," is impressed upon j
.us by every motive of piety, charity nnd
^patriotism. The work in which the Father
of our ?ion labored .(whoso names are
-fondly cherished among us,) seems t? >be
.entrusted again 'to -their children. The
shades of departed Bishops and PaBtors
aeem to cheer ua on to a work of reconstruction,
by no means so difficult in many
respefrti as*tty\t in ^itfeb. they spent their
?tren|tb;Obi1 venerable OhiHrches, spoiled
by the hand of violence, "while the ways
.of Zion- giotirp because none comedo her
solemn fcfsUi/' appeal to us with touching
?!oquenco. Never in our history as a Dix>Cft8e*-..has
tbew been a'- greats* need for
self-denying consecration of ourselves and
all that we have to the work of the Lord,
and this need is the moro .pressing when
we contemplate the losses which our missionary
fynd baa suffered in the revolution 1
through which the "country has passed.?
.Offerings which pious hearts and hands
.dedicated to OhrUtfqr tbe extension of his I
Gospel, have many of them been scattered.
May it pot .bo the w$ of God to teach us
to be more.rertdy arid liberal in our gifts.
pEielyiqg no longer |ipon, tbo piety of a former
g^tieratiori, we meet to do the work
.before ifcs it is day;" ''
Wo jniiat not postpooe otlr.ohatUy to tbe
.dying legacy, but freely, and cheerfully,
and generously,-even "out of our poverty,"
.as the Lord shallgive.us grace aod ability,
Jet us bring one.contributions for tbe building
up .again tbe house of the Lord. Mojoey
given now will, in its relief to tbe
empty Treasury, -be worth double the
.amount marred for more prosperous days.
The Board' feel that the number of subscribers
to tbj* Society" throughout: the State
should now .be largely increased. They
would-respeotfully^k^Ay^/iouW not every
Ap^cqpotUpn who poisfrlg can, be (in .annual'
contributor to its funds / The an,nual
rasmberahip is but fire dollars. We
.fear thatthe Laityj ia this,respect, do not
realize as they ought the privilege of "lending
to the Lord," and that the Clergy are
.not sufficiently urgent in flejtiog forth the

This Society will also sadly miss from
its circle of members our beloved brother,
Rev. Thos. F. Davis, Jr., late Rector of
Grace Church, Camden ; a man of a truly
missionary spirit, whoforsomo years labored
under this board as Missionary to
Sumter, where he fouuded " The Church
of the Holy iComforter," and whose earnest
piety and dovotion to the cause of liis
Master, and high endowments as a Preacher
and Pastor, made him a valued Presbyter
_r ii.. t\ i -in.:? 1 * -

tho Lord's vineyard. As wo think to-day
of these beloved brethren, "departed in
the Lord," let us not be only saddened
with regret, but comforted with tho consolations
of the gospel, and quickened to new
consecration of ourselves, most heartily to
tqat which is alone worth living for, the
glory of Christ and the advancement of
his kingdom.
A resolution wa3 passed requesting all
the Olorgy to bring the whole subject of
the Advancement Society before the different
congregations in tho Diocese, and to
endeavor to gee new subscriber*, and to
take up a collection in its behalf.
THE LINCOLN EULOGY.
The text of Bancroft's discourse seems
to be "Providcnce in History"?the argument
nnd illustration being tbat Providence
was working by and through tlie late
war to accomplish the results that have
been attained, and chiefly the emancipation
0|f slaves. The orator seems to have
avoided, by pretermission, a very obvious
embarrassment into which his line of
thought might have led him, namely, that
Providence was in the act by which the
subject of his eulogy was deprived of life,
as much as .in the other events of the war.
The end of the long struggle botween slavery
and abolition, in the triumph of th%
latter, and the transfer of power from the
South to the North are held up aa blessings
to the country and the race. Tho
assumption implies that the rulo of the
South, while it lasted, wag a curse. Eight
years ago, the present Secretary of Slate
said in the Senate that it was the intention
of the North "to take the govornment
from unjust and unfaithful hands and place
it in just and faithful hands;1' that it was
the iotettion to consecrate all the territories
of the Union to free labor, etc. He
was replied.to at the time by a distinguished
Senator from South Carolina, the late Gov
ernor Hamm >nd, in words which may now
be aptly revived:
"You complain of the rule of the South;
that has been another cause that has preserved
you. We have kept the govern- |
I raent conservative to the great purposos of j
government. We lave placed it, and kept
it, upon the Constitution; and that has
been the cause of your peace and prosperity.
The Senator from New York says
that that is about to be at an end ; that
you intend to fake the government from
' us; that it will pass from our hand9.?
Perhaps what he says is true; it may be ;
but do not forget?it can never bo forgotten?it
is written on the bright pag?9 of
human history?that we, tbo slave-holders
j of the South, took our country in her infancy,
and, after ruling her for sixty out of
the seventy years of her existence, we
shall surrender her to you without a stain
on her honor, boundless in prosperity, in?
: calculable in her strength, the wonder and
tho admirat'on of the world. Time will
show wbat you will make of her, but no
time can ever diminish our glory or your
responsibility-"?Richmond Whig.

General Sprague, Assistant Commission*
er of the Bureau far the States of Missouri
and Arkansas, has made his report to
ireneral Howard for the quarter ending
Cecember 31, 1865. He reports the feelings
of hostility to the g>verment in the
southern and southwestern part of Arkensas
to be still very intense.
In consequence of the targe number of
desertions from the regular army during
the paefc' few months, General Grant hat
issued an order calling upon commander*
of departments and regiments to take the
most stringent measures for checking the

Christ Kinukl.?A Gorman correspondent
of tiio St. Louis Union writes as follows
in relation to Christ Kindel :?" Why
is it that you, r.ativeboru Americans, ?pell
this word in a way to make It not only Jose
its lovely sense, but even to make it entirely
senseless? 'Kriss Krinklel'you spell it,
and if nobody chocks you in this obnoxious
orthography, a stupid, senseless worlJ will
receive the' privilege of augmenting the
English vocabulary, when, by a very little
care, it could bo enriched with a beautiful,
friendly, and sensible expression. Christ
Kindel means, the little child?Cliriat; Josus,
the little child ?L' Enfant Jesu, as the
French say. [The ovening before Christ
mas the legend lets the child Je3us visit the
houses, where there are some good-natured
fellow?cliildrn.] In France, the}' have no
Christmastrets; but nevertheless, the children
know that L' Enfant Jesus is coming,
and they put their shoes outsido of the
house-doors, or to find on the next morning
a copper or even silver or gold piece in
them, L'Entant Jesus, they know ; rewards
in this way their good behavior during the
yeai. ^n v^ormany, tliere ta no bouse without
a Christmas-tree. On the night before
Christmas, Christ Kindel comes in the best
room in the house, illuminates the tree, and
puts on it and under it whatever nil good
children during the whole year hoped to
get. ?he most lovely and innocent fea-t?
in fact, the feast of children, this essentially
German feast having finally made tho tour
de monde?is it not proper, while you A.mericans
have accepted the theory, to accept
also tho name, and not spoil it by an
atrocious orthography ? Is it not a great
deal better to spell Christ Kindel than to
strangulate it into the nonsensical expression
of Kriss Krinklo ?'*
The Sumter Watchman, of the 14tb
instant fears the growth of too much cotton.
It says:
?' We are fearful that some of our i
planters, in their anxiety to make cotton,
ill - - - ?
win oegieci ineir corn holds. There is
danger of causing great scarcity of bread
the coming year. Wo are too apt to go
from one extreme to tbe other. And then
the price of cotton is no tfmpting'y high
, But it should be remembered that even an
approximation to a full crop will greatly
reduce tbe price of tbo staple; and that, in
nil probability, a lesser amount will yield
nn equal number of dollars with a greater,
while from tbe former we must renlixe a
more abundant supply of bread."
Donald McKay , the distinguised shipbuilder
of East Boston, has lately ret u mod
from Europe, where he thouroughly inspcc
ieu too iron-ciau navies ol Franco and
England. Ho says that our Navy Department
has constructed, built and equipped,
since 1861, an iron-clad fleet more powerful
than all the iron-clad navies of the
world combined, nnd declares the Dunderderberg,
built by Mr. Webb, to bo equal
to all the Frenqh iron-clads, of whi<*.h w?
have heard to much in praise. He furnishes
a full lint and description of the
English and French vessels of this class
embracidF their argument, character of
rrmor plating, and speed.
The prevalence of colds has again induced
the query ho- eften agitated as to the
immediate cause of the "cole in head," "the
cold in the back" and "the cold in the
throat." A gentleman who endeavored lo
trace the cause of this cold, came to (be
cooolusion that be caught it going to bed
in his bare feet. Tbe real cause of many
colds may be attributed to tbe long talks
which people indulge in en tbe corners of
streets. One of Bostou's qjost celebrated
phpsicians, now an octogenrian when atop*
ped in the streets, invariably remarks, "I
will talk if you will walk." Thi9 should
be a hint to button-holding friends.
Dakcinq.?In all ages and in all climes
