HAWTHORNE'S LEOtURE. i i Paid Tribute to People Who Lire in Rural Districts?Air and Sunshine Necessary to Health. ' On last Monday evening at the First Baptist church Di\ J. B. Hawthorne delivered his popular lecture on "Air, Sunshine and Out Door Living." There was quite a good crowd present to meet and hear Dr. Hawthorne, and although lie talked for over an hour and a half yet he was listened to with wrapt attention by his hearers, and doubtless the truths which ho spoke in such a forcible manner fell into earnest hearts and into thoughtful minds and will bring forth an abundant harvest for the good of the present as well as future generations. He greatly emphasized the importance of men and women, boys and girls, becoming more familiar with God's beautiful sunshine and pure, fresh air. He said that the human race was physically retrograding on account of so much in door living, so little familiarity with sunshine and fresh air. He further said that some years ago a prominent physician remarked that the next thirty years would be a period of health hunting, a day of seekers for remedies against 1 human ills. This statement has been fully verified, for never in the history of the human race has there been so great a tide of humanity seeking health resorts either in the mountains or by the sea shore. The whole world seems to be more or less afflicted and all trying to regain that greatest gift to the human race? health. That gift which in the majority of instances need never have been lost if men and womffi had not lost the habit of more out door living. "We live in houses," said Dr. Hawthorne. "We sleep in houses, we eat in houses, we work in houses, and the outcome of it all is we are like hot house plants unable to stand the hard pressures of life without a nervous breakdown." The doctor referred feelingly to his experience in the Civil War when at night he and his companions would lie down in some open field and there as they lay gazing upon the "magnificent jewelry of heaven" and lured by the gentle night breeze they fell asleep to awake next morning feeling invigorated and ready for the tasks before them. lie was most complimentary to the people who live in our country districts. He said that there lay the hope of tlie country. That there lay the true Democracy of the South. Altogether he is a very charming speaker. At some times his eloquence 1 is grand, and at all times he holds 1 the closest attention of those before him. He is a native of Virginia and has been connected with sonm of the most important reforms in that State as well as in the South. Tie is 1 a staunch supporter of the tcmpcr1 ance cause, and has done much to bring about the temperance movement in Atlanta, Oa. His physical appearance is superb. He is far taller than most men", and there is a striking resemblance between him and South Carolina's "grand old man," Dr. James II. Carlisle, president Emeritus of Woffor<t college, while it was remarked by several that the expression of his countenance resembled much the pictures of Jefferson Davis, the only president of tlie Conferralvf of which cause Dr. Hawthorne is an ardent lover and in days gone by was a strong supporter. The citizens of Newberry will be glad to welcome Dr. Hawthorne back in their midst at anytime he may find opportunity to come. OLD ST. JOHN'S. St. John's Lutheran church, some times known as Broad river, near Hope station, is one of the oldest organizations in this county, and the present church building is probably the oldest building in the county.
