Brings Good News To Newberry Col aege-Carnegie's Offer Must Be Met. Dr. Scherer returned on Tuesda, after an absence cf several days in tlh interest of Newberry eollege. Whih away he visited Pittsburg and wen' out to Chicago for a conference witl Dr. D. K. Pearson with reference t his offer of twenty-five thousand dol lars to the endowment fund. Dr Scherer secured from Dr. Pearsoi even more generous and liberal condi tions than attached to the offer whez first made, indeed we understand tha they are the most liberal upon whicl he has ever bestowed his gifts. Th( exact terms have not yet been mad( public. Dr. Scherer brought the good new: that Hon. Andrew Carnegie will giv( ten thousand dollars to the technologi cal departmwnt of the college as sooi as ten thousand dollars is added t< the endowment fund. The raising of ten thousand dollar will not only secure the money of Mr Carnegie, but will go far toward meet ing Dr. Pearson's conditions. Indeei it looks to us as if the raising of ter thousand dollars by the friends of th( college will give us twenty thousans dollars toward fulfilling the generou: Chicagoan's conditions, for Dr Pearson doubtless imposed no condi tions as to the source from whicl money was to be secured to meet hi4 proposition. It looks as if this were Newberry'; opportunity and the time for ever' friend of the college to count its in terests as among the most importani for this year, and for all to pull to zether, to talk Newberry college anc work and give.

Man's Greed, Careaessness, Selfish ness, Recklessness, Passion i the Cause of Human Afflic tions At the Lutheran Church of-the Re deemer last Sunday morning, the pas tor. Rev. W. L. Seabrook,.preached a notable sermon, taking his text from Job 15:11-13, (Revised Version) "Are the consolations of God too small for thee? And is the word of small account that dealeth gently with thee? Whither doth thy heart carry thee away? And what do thy eyes wink at? That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth ? The sermon was entirely extempo raneous, and the report folowing gives only in barest outline the thought of the speaker. After speaking of the two declara tions heard during the previous week, one in which God had been character ized as cruel, and the other in which it had been said that the dreadful ca lamity had been sent of God upon the -people of the Pacific slope in wisdom and justice, as a punishment for their sins, the preacher declared his hor ror of such misconceptions of God. There is little wonder when afflic tions come, and men are told that it is the will of God, that it is for them to bow in patient submission, that the heart protests. And well it may. The &reatest need of mankind is an over whelming, all pervading, realistic be lief in the personal Jehovah, Jehovah Christ, and aright conception of His relation and attitude toward the indi vidual man and to the race. In man's thought of God he must reject every surmise or opinion that is not in har mony with the truth-so thrillingly ex pressed in Browning's immortal line in "Paracelsus" "God, Thou art Love I build my faith on that.'" In order to vindicate God's sovereignty and reqognize His hand in the events of life, it is not necessary to regard "the estilence that walketh in darkness and the destruction that wasted at non day' as.mysterious dispensations or visitations of His providence. Man was not created for sorrow but for joy. God's thoughts of man' are "precious'' "thoughts.'good and not of evil.'' When man was in harmony with God, -he was in' harmony with himself, and with nature. He was placed amid conditions fitted to be-. stow upon him perfect and everlasting happiness. There was no illness, no alamity, no death. By i;an came sin. Where once was harmony, now there is discord. ' Where once was order now there is disorder. "By man came death;'? and all sorrow, all the per versions of instincts and passions, all infirmities of the body and weakening of infellect, all that culm'mates in death, all "came by man.'' This is not God 's order, God's purpose, God's thought for man. Man is out of har mony with nature because he violates nature's laws. Back of every afflic tion is human sin. It is to blaspheme against the God of love, when a rail road train is wrecked and its passen gers hurled into eternity, to say that it was wrecked by His hand, or that the' awful destruction of life and property-.in San Francisco was caus ed by Him. Nine tenths of all the losses, afflictions and sorrows of this life are the direct result of human ex travagance, human \grasping after larger profits, human. greed, human carelessness, human selfishness, hu man recklessness, and. .of the other tenth they are 'indirect cause. Take the case of San Francisco by way of iustration. The earthquake came. it is true.4 But it came not without warning. Men have knowvn for ages that this is a vo.lcanic section, or a section liable to experience the earth - quake shock, &r d yet they have chos en. to take the chances. True the earthquake dame, but how comipara tively smnall 'the damage frit te earthquake, if men choosing' to live. where they were ' exposed to these -mighty forces of nature had strue turally prepared themselves to resist its power. The Board of Fire Insur ance underwriters declared long ago that it was a miracle that San Fram isco was not swept from the faee of the earth, "that .it was built to, burn." It was currently reported that in the construction. of a building now being erected in Newberry, some workmen were found laying bricks one upon the other without mortar, except a little on the outside. Suppose that building should collapse, would- it be a "dispensation of Providence?" Or take afflictions of another charac ter. An epidemic of yellow fever dec imates the cities of the south. A visitation of Providence, forsoth! A visitation of Providence, forsooth! A der against the sin of uncleanness. Small pox lays its polluting hand up on our people. A visitation ofProvi dence. Nay, his safeguard was in his h.an but he refused to use it. Vae cination had been neglecteHd and people die. Trace every real af tion to its source and you will sin at the fountain head, not al% the sin of him who suffers. no, here is motive most powerful to I men away from sin to God. Men so initerlinked in relationship, that innocent suffer with the tuilty. other result would be impossible. it must not be forgotten that while the natural order its laws must be exorable (inexorable does not m cruel) "every transgreion and d obedience must receive its just reco pense of reward,'" every sin mu have within itself the germ of the pe alty that inevitably follows, and th race must suffer while man sins, an the innocent must suffer with the guil ty, no real harm can possibly befall the individual who has fled to Jesus Christ for refuge. Afflictions come to him. By them, in them, through them, he is chastened. Chastened does not mean punished. Chastisement is not punishment. Chastisement is of the spirit. Chastisement comes from the Latin "eastus" pure, spotlesz, holy. Chastisement is making chaste. beautiful, pure. He may die. We all must die. But what is death, apart from sin.' "The sting of death is sin." But Christ died on the cross and death's sting is removed, and death has no- more power to hurt them "Who. trust in this His satisfaction." Police Notes.. Robert Porterfield, colored, was tried in the mayor's court on Wednes day morning charged with violating the dispensary ordinance and was con victed and sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars or to serve thirty days. He was represented by Col. 0. L. Schumpert, who gave notice of ap peal to the circuit court. Henry Williams, colored, was ar rested at Prosperity yesterday morn ing charged with stealing $11 from Balaam Sims, colored, in Newberry on Wednesday night. It is charged that Williams went into Sims' house and took the money from his clothes. -A negro who gave his name as Groeg Henry Coleman, stating that he is from Laurens, was taken in by the police authorities on Wednesday night, the negro being. mentally de ranged. He was begging the polite olficers yesterday morning 40 shoot him. SPECIAL NOTICES. GIVE The Laurens Laundry a trial. Laundry sint Thursday. Work guaranteed.
