.MECHANICAL DEPARTMILN T_. Movement to Add New Department to Newberry College Meeting With Much Success. A mechanical and engineering de partment for Newberry college is the aim of a movement non on foot among the friends of the college in -the Southern Lutheran church, and it is meeting with a hearty response -.which seems to insure such success that it is now believed the depart ment can be added before the opening -of the next session. The movement was started in Sa -vannah some time ago when Capt. jacob Paulsen subscribed $5oo and a subscription amounting to some $700 or $8oo more was raised in Savannah. It is proposed to erect another build ing on the college campus for the use of the department at a cos: of some thing like $5.ooo. It is believed now that a sufficient amount of money can be raised by the time of the summer vacation to begin the erection of the building soon after commencement and to complete it before the opening -f the next session. It is proposed to raise enough money to erect and equip the building and to guarantee the sal ary of a professor for three years. The friends of the college have un .dertaken the movement with a zeal and earnestness that promises to ac ,complish much. The college has had :a remarkable growth during the past -several years, and it was only several months ago that a handsome new building, for use as recitation rooms and society halls, erected at a cost of $20,ooo, was dedicated.

"Immortality," a Unique and Compre hensive Treatment of the Great Subject. IMMORTALITY. By Rev. William L. Seabrook, 12 mo. cloth, 203 pag e-. The Vir Publishing Co., Phila delphia, Pa.; London, Eng. Price I $1.1o postpaid. (For sale at Mayes I Book Store, Newberry, S. C.) It was a nappy inspiration that led Mr. Seabrook to produce this little volume. It is timely, for never did his lofty theme occupy the attention of the world more than today. Mr. Seabrook has contributed a unique treatment of his great subject. The books that have been written on it are almost numberless, but we know of none like this. It is not unique in the sense that any new or startling principle has been formulated or any unusual speculation has been indulged - in, but be cause the thought which runs through the book is an entirely new combination of the great facts and ar guments which show that immortality must be. Cold, philosophic reasoning and scientific speculation have been fairly faced and discussed in their re lations to the subject, but the book is more than a logical treatment from an argumentative viewpoint. The fact of immortality, the author holds, is a thing susceptible of other and more satisfying proofs than simple logic can afford with rule and line. The subject is approached from the "heart" as well as the "head." The finer intuitive emotions planted in the breast of every man, and which have caused all races from the begin ning to believe in and hope for life eternal, afford to the author's mind a far more comforting authentication of the truth. Coupled and interwoven with love which unites man to man and all to God, it forms a cumulative plea which must needs be convincing. The influence of revelation pervades the whole. The treatment is logical, but not cold. It is emotional but not] unreasonable. It is deeply religious but not dogmatic. The striking thing about the work is the manner in which the different meth ods of treating the subject are com bined to form a unity. Science and philosophy have been searched to show the rationality of the hope of im mortality, but the hope is intuitive, enduring for all time, and beyond the. necessity of absolute demonstration. The argument is one that will bear analysis as a mere argument, but the: book is also a message of personal. comfort to the hearts of those who look for a personal re,surrection and reunion in Christ. The graceful style and language, as well as the many ref erences to and contributionsfromphil osophy, poetry, human experience and revelation, show that the author la bored long and t1mtiringly and was well acquainted with thc magnitude of his task. His wide reading and knowledge of the li-erature~ of the subject, combined with his large heart ed sympathy for all who sorrowv, and especially for those to whomr he dedi cates his book. "all who have loved ones in the land o' the leal." well qualify him for writing it. But it will prove not only a comfort to those who have stood beneath the shadow. All who love good literature will be charmed by the rhythm of its flowing sentences. Those .who are troubled with doubts will find the faith of their childhood strengthened by reading this beautiful message of conidence. Those who trust will be conirmed in their faith. Many will fnd their chief interest in the fact that the very best gems from the poets, some well knowvn, others that many will here perhaps find for the first time, and will be made glad in finding them, are used to illustrate and brighten its pages. It is predicted that this little volurt.e will find a large place in the literature of the future lif. Its appearance at the Easter eason is peculiarly appro)priate. and it will make a beautiful Easter gift. Easter Egg Hunt. I The juvenile Missionary Society o Cent.rai Methodist church will give an Easter egg hunt at the resi lence of Mrs. Y. J. Pope on Satur clay afternoon at 4 o'clock. The ad- a mission wixll be nive cents. The next regular meeting of city couc1 will be held tomorrow night.
