The Conference at Bennettsville.
Mr. Editor.?It was my priviledge
and pleasure to attend the !
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

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.

Seaborn Belk Falls From Trapeze
h Texas.
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

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

Christ or Russel.
(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~

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

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

it were possible for it to take
root. As we have said we know
that this false prophet n annot jnjure

May God bless what we have
tried to say and bring from it
only that which is good.
