PRESIDENT HARMS TO SALUDA LUTHERANS New Head of Newberry College Deliv ers Two Interesting Sermons to Large Congregations. The State. Saluda, Feb. 22.-President Harms. of Newberry college, filled the pulpit at the Lutheran church in this town Sunday morning and evening. His theme at the morning hour was "Christian Education.'' The speaker said in part: The bold est declaration that ever fell from lips upon mortal ear were the words of Christ when He said: "Upon this rock will I build my church and the rates of hell shall not prevail against it." 7his statement was made by a poor, despised Nazarene out in one corner of the world surrounded by a few fisher folk and peasants. All history contradicted the assertion, for Mesopotamia was a. heap of rub bish and Egypt was a mockery of its former self. All around were the crumbling monuments of the past, nothing last ing, all perishable and perishing. This elaration could never have been nade had not the Eternal One, when naking it, been looking down the fu ture and seeing the great work and the innumerable workers of the 20th entury and of all the centuries co perating with Him to make the as ~ertion -an eternal verity. The Christian school is one of the pillars of this structure, which even the gates of hell shall not prevail igainst, for it stands for the develop ent of the entire man, not half the fellow, nor two-thirds, but his triune ature. It places man's spirituality first. It is this that should be al as foremost and uppermost. By fiting men to be the companion of ngels will profane history be defied. This was President Harms' first visit to Saluda and he has made for imself a warm place in the affections f this people. Tillman in His Old Form.

Senator 'illman has apparently never been in etter or more robust health than at this time, and some of the thrusts he sends home to offending colleagues ~hows that he 'has not only recovered ha.tever ground he lost last year, but; that in addition has gained consider ably by his junket 'abroad. A da.y or two ago the question of vhether or not the senator 'had re ained his 'health came up in the press a:llery among some of the newspaper men, and the remark was made, "If o don 't believe he has regained his ld form just try him.''
