Florence District Conference in the beautiful to\\,n of Bennettsville last Wednesday The conference had already begun its work when we arrived and we had to leave before the j work was finished. Bro. R. C Melton from Antioeh church accompanied us. We regret that the delegates from our other churches could not go. We were assigned to preach' at the morning session of Wed-; nesday, and although we had never preached before 25 other preachers, yet we immensly enjoyed. the -flKort We vi'i b >* " WWrprivflege next' year of entertaning this body of Christians in Pageland. Pageland and Cheraw both extended invitations to the Conference to hold its sessions of 1915 with them and Pageland won out in the vote b\ nearly 3 to 1. Such a gathering as this will be, will help both the church in the community and the community at large. During our stay at the seat of Conference we were entartained in the hospitable home of Mr. and Mrs.Philip Mille.r J. A. McGraw. Wild Boar After John L. McLaurin. Per Dee Advocate Senator John L. McLaurin and Warren Moore report an exciting experience with a wild boar on Senator McLaurin's river place, between his mill and Cheraw, one day this week. They were at the place attending to planting some corn and were at the river bank when a large boar attacked the senator's dog, cutting it severely with his tusks and then made for Senator McLaurin and Mr. Moore, who took refuge in the limbs of a near-by tree. As soon as he got a good opportunity Senator McLaurin shot the boar several times and killed him. He weighed about pounds and had tusks three or four inches long, Ilis nose had apparently been broken at some time, and out of the t rack in his nose they got three bullets which were not those fired by Senator McLaurin. The body of the hog was covered with excresences. Two or three of these were opened with a knife, and in each one was found a shot. This is thought to be the same boar that attacked and severely cut Mr. McQuage in that vicinity a year or two ago. Senator McLaurin and Mr. Moore threw his body into the river. Hancock, Mrs. J. W. Thurman, Mrs. Thomas Sellers and Mrs. H. J. Allen, of Ruby vicinity, are sisters. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery at Cross Roads churc h Friday, the services being conducted by Rey. J. D.

Lancaster News. * News comes lo us from Waldo Texas, that Seaborn Belk, formerly of Lancaster county, but more recently of Texas, fell from a trapeze apparatus, on which he was performing, to the ground, a distance of 21 feet. Mr. Belk was seriously injured and it is feared that he will not recover. When the letter to The News, telling of the accident was written by a friend, Mr. Belk was unconcious. This news will be read with regret by his friends and relatives all over the county, who hope that Mr. Belk will recover from his injuries. This is the third time he tins fallen while giving exhibitions of his ocrobatic feats. It will be recalled that Mr. Belk t 1 1 * 1 mis oniy one leg ana yei nns been considered a champion trapeze performer, having accomplished remarkable and daring feats of skill. He Learned His Valuation. A tourist in Scotland came to a wide ferry. Tt was stormy and the wind was constantly increasing. The Scotch ferryman agreed to take the tourist across, hut told him to wait until lie had first taken a cow across. When he had returned and started across with the traveller, the latter became curious. "Will you tell me why you took the cow over and made me , wait?" he asked. "Weel, now," explained the kw" o ";*ir valuable, and I feared th' wind wud increase so th' boat might upset on th' second trip!" uffs and ons 11 feed etc. at wholesale ntities, or at prices below 11 quantities mistakes in your life, and g us you will make one or a thousand, just as you I Sti i .-.si - %\ ' V '**!<< >.

(Continued) Russel says that Christ did not 1 rise from the dead but his body 1 was dissolved into passes. Of 1 course such an idea is absurdity ' itself. If Christ's body went ' away into passes in so short a 1 time then why don't the body of J every human that dies do the < same? If Christ was divine < f ( which we have ample proof then he must of necessity be 5 risen. Death could have had ' no power over him 1 without his consent and so it J was only by his will to do the ' Father's will that death came to ' him at all. After having come i and all was done that was required then the divine power 5 must assert itself again and death i had no more dominion over him. 1 Now we know that he lives < some where in God's great uni- I verse. We have seen his power \ manifested too often in the lives , of men and women. We know , that human nature within itself is too weak a thing to allow anyone to live the lives we see christian men and women living, ; we know that they get help from some where. Christ said "I, if I be lifted up will draw all men unto me," we know this to be true. When a preacher tells the simple story of Christ's death for mankind and his ressurection to the heathen, we see them responding to an invitation to come to a living Christ bx- the hundreds, even on one occasion as many as six ; hundred at a time in one gathering. We see that Christ is keep, ing his word as we might express it and fulfilling his promise. ; puwrfP IS1 'drat?helps merf! and women to leave the home land with all that is dear to the human heart and go out into unknown lands, full of heathen darkness and superstition, full of dangers to life not knowing, not having any assurance that they will see the faces dear to them, again on this earth. I say what power is it? Some great and wonderful power in Christ that you nor I with all our experience have never felt. What is it that makes the poor heathen woman take her baby and walk six or eight miles to learn something about this Christ about whom we have been learning all of our lives? It is, it must be a resurrected living Christ. Russel says that Christ is never coming anv more but we know that there is coming; a glad day for us some time, some where. This hope is a living actual thing in our hearts, then what is it based on if not on the second coming of Christ? Russel says let the world alone. Don't concern our sel vcs about I its redemption. Suppose for instance we should imagine such a thing done, suppose all the preachers every where stopped preaching, all the teaching of the Bible cease and men and women were allowed to go on any way their human desires led them with the thought that we'll have a second chance. It is not in our grasp to imagine the horrible condition the world would he in in a few years. The churches would be abolished, even the home, the most blessed institution on earth would he done away with. All law anil order would disappear and life would he in awful dan ger every hour and what would become of us and our children? The picture is too dark to coneieve of. Then Mr. Russel says * no hell any way, h " lhcre 's tent. If there' -ow inconsis~ f is no hell what do Zion School Closing. I Last Friday the Zion school I which had been ti tight for the I ast five months Prof. JTC. I Blackwell, came to a close. I Some of the children in the I various grades were reviewed in I reading and in history and geo- I jraphy. They did themselves I :redit in their exercises and also I lid credit to Prof. Blackwell. I He is loved very much b}- the >chool children and appreciated jy the patrons. There is some probability of the school districts of Zion and Win/.o consolidatnfr find prortinor a nrnn/l ? D " fiuuu IllUUt'lll school building at some convenient place. At the closing exercises quite i number of the patrons and friends were out. Also Miss Evans who is associated with the county superintendent of education was present and explained to the patrons the plan of consolidating rural schools and the necessary proceedure to obtain state aid. The children had an egg hunt and with it, all parted to meet no more in school until after a vacation. One Present. you need a second chance for Mr. Russel? Now we don't need a Bible to teach us that there is a hell, if that was all we needed to khow, the heathen knows that The man who never saw a Bible knows that there is coming a time of retribution some where, whv does he take even his child some times to sacrafice to his heathen god? He knows in hi^^^ IliT don^hi^y^itflM ouglht not, he knows that i^Tbre is punishment some where for his evil deed and so reaching oui in nis oununess and ignorance he tries to attone for his wrong. It is an inherent knowledge in the human heart to fear punishment, not because we have been taught that, we have that knowledge planted in our hearts even when we don't know from whence it came, God has said "my spirit enlighteneth every man that cometh into the world" and we see that proven true by this attempt that is made by them all to find some thing with which to satisfy the soul assure it of escape from punishment in the world to come. No, Mr. Russcl, you may hurl your darts against our God, our istDte, our living divine Christ and all our beliefs in the good and pure but these things will stand immovable, unchangeable as man's greatest source of comfort and peace man's refuge in temptations and trial long after your poor body has molded and returned to the earth from which it came and your name is forgotten and gone into oblivion. We have taken the facts as they exist today to set forth our good grounds for our belief in the absolute truth of the Bible the whole Bible from bcgining to the end. We have tried as best we could by God's help to show our people the falsity of this doctrine and the evils that miorlit rocult llio( umifl.l ? ? I' -f ""h"? 'VUV4,I1 ?vwuill 1 v nil 11 II it were possible for it to take root. As we have said we know that this false prophet n annot jnjure our Bible >jU, "w0 don't want him to in' , nnc, nur mire a one 01 oui men or w ^jnen amj cause them t2r- ? led astray and find out 1 .eir mistake when it is everlastingly to late. May God bless what we have tried to say and bring from it only that which is good. Edna V. Funderburk
