Nothing preventing, the following will be fhe program or aivme services at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer next Sunday: 11 a. m. The regular morning service1. The pastor will preach on the subject, "Christ's Reversal of Human Judgments." Observation and experience show us that in regard to many of the real serious subjects of life divine judgment is the reverse of human judgment, and we sometimes be come confused. In the 55th chapter of Isaiah God says, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. For as the heav-ens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." No less than five times in the gospel Jesus practically uses the expression, "The last shall be first and the first locf" Tn this sermon at least four i?VJW. v? practical and important subjects will be presented in which Christ reverses human judgment. There will be good music. 10 a. m. Promptly at this hour the Sunday school w;ll begin.

The Columbia Re* cord sized them up as follows: "Jim Smith, a Newberry darky, objeted to the hue of the atmosphere about Main and Washington streets yesterday afternoon and proeeded to tincture the ozone w?th blue. Jim addressed his unseemly remarks to his wife and a companion with such oral vigor that Policeman S. H. .broom gathered him into the fold on a charge of disorderly conduct. As a magazine supply of red-eye was found on Jim, it was Recorder Verner's opinion that he had fractured the majesty of the law to the extent of $5 or 10 gang-tiring days" "George Wilson, a mulatto sport, assimilated a cargo of tangle-tongue last night and while unravelling the kinks in his oral appendage gave vent to sundry profane outbursts, that Po ?

Clinton Chronicle, 5th. The address to the graduates "was delivered by Dr. D. D. Wallace, professor of History and Economies, of Woffprd college. He chose as his subject, "Education for Citizenship." The speaker spoke at length along the lines of general education in all the walks of life, pointing out its import ance, after which he narrowed aown to the keynote thought of his address ?that education makes a good citizen. He showed how the duty is placed upon every people and State educate its citizens. Said the speaker, take away ten thousand of the brightest minds from our country; men who can see ahead and conceive, who can organize and put their ideas into operation, and you reduce our people to a perfect state of intellectual paralysis He spoke of the education condition in the Southland, and then bringing closer home, within our own State, "which today stands fifth to bottom in educational progress, giving only three dollars per capita to the people. He made an earnest appeal for a more varied and systematic system of education in South Carolina. His address Wcis concluded with a glowing tribute to democracy and its father, and an earnest appeal j that the people of this State awaken, and go forward, and take their place among the ranks with other States and nations that have adopted a compulsory educational system. His address was a most excellent and masterly one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience with which he was greeted. Broncho feature in 2,reels at Arcade and Airdome Friday.?Adv. Took the Trick. A conversation relating to the face of cards the other evening caused Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, to become reminiscent. He was reminded, he said of a man from the mountain zone of his state, who once bough c a jug of whisky, and not wanting to carry it around with him, decided tc leave it at the corner grocery until he should be ready to go home. In order that the jug might be prop- j erly identified, the man took a deck of | cards from his pocket, extracted the six of spades, wrote his name upon it, and attached it to the handle of the j jug. This done, he happily rambled j forth, leaving the jug on the end of j l-he counter. Two hours later the mountaineer re-; turned, and great was his consterna-; tion, as well as eloquence, to find that his jug of electrified spirits had faded j away. "Look here, Jim," he agitatedly cried j to the proprietor of the store. "Do you know what become o' thet jug o' mine?" "Of course I do, Seth," was the ( prompt rejoinder of the proprietor, j Make Howell come along with their i n' cnfldp? an' took it."?Pitts 3C? tU w ^ burgh Telegraph. A SCHOLARLY ADDRESS. Delivered by Prof. (has. ?. Kent Tuesday Evening in Opera House. ? * " 1 1 ? I^AAtinut' C An! Q_ Tiie aaaress 10 me mcciai? ties of Newberry college, was delivered Tuesday evening in the opera house by Prof. Chas. W. Kent, Ph.D., of the University o? Virginia. The address was scholarly and delivered with force and effect by the distinguished speaker. A synopsis would scarcely do the speaker justice, and only a brief outline is given. Professor Kent was presented by Professor E. B. Setzler, of Xewberrv college, who did post graduate work at the University of Virginia. After responding to the introduction and paying a tribute of friendship to Newberry college and its representatives wi:li whom he had been familiar, Dr. Kent announced as his theme, "Educational Efficiency versus Education Display." He gave a resume of the reports made by the masters of Oxford colleges with reference to the Rhodes scholars from the United States and then supplemented this indictment by showing that very n^uch the same conclusions had been reached by the German investigation of our education in America. The counts in the joint indictment are that American education does not lead to thoroughness and accuracy; that it'does not result in adequate mental discipline; that it fails to create in the student the willingness and ability to assay the long and difficult task; and that it does not inspire the student with a fervent zeal and ardent enthusiasm for learning. After commenting fully on these charges the speaker contended that the effort to meet this indictment on the part of the college by different iating the course that led to college from'those that led to business was an error for exactly the same kind of training, th'ough not necessarily in the same branches, was needed for the prospective scholai and the prospective man of affairs. The business man desires of the vyoung man that enters his employ (1) willingness and ability to learn, (2) personal interest and zest in. his work, (3) thoroughness ana accuracy in the assigned task, (4) and energy and industry in the prosecution of a task, h'owever long or difficult, until it is finished. The college professor desires of the student coming under his care, (1) thoroughness and accurary in the studies hitherto pursued, and the spirit of thoroughness and accurary in all work undertaken, (2) mental discipline, 'or the training and command of all the mental powers, (3) power of sustained attention to difficult and disagreeable task, (4) enthusiasm, or vibrant and vital interest in the new tasks, that shall give n 70?t onH rlalicrht tn rmrsiiit After insisting that in essence the training for college and business is one and that- the requirements of each are just what in the judgment of foreign critics we are not getting, Dr. Kent raised the pertinent question why we were not finding in our educational system just what wre ougLt to expect to get out of it? His answer was in substance as fol1 XI l 11 1 1. _ C XT ~ ?1 ~ ~ lows, mat uie lacit ui LLiuiuuguuesa and acc^racf is due to the inherent restlessness of American life which unless controlled leads to fickleness, variableness, and superficiality; to our desire for visible, tangible results marked in education by promotions, diplomas, graduations and public notice; to inherent haste with its accompaniments of short cuts time sav<v AtrinAf r?r< V\t?Or?lr?r\ nr iii5 ucviv;ca anu ictuiu-'ui taams ideals. He closed by pointing out that it was still possible, perhaps more readily in the small college than elsewhere to settle down to calm, quiet, unhurried but uninterrupted and thorough work, particularly if the college is willing to forego -extensiveness for intensiveness and set itself unflinchingly to undertake nothing more than it can do faithfully and fully. This means, especially where the college is crammed for means and impoverished In equipment a loyal devotion on the part of students, faculty, and alumni born of hardship and therefore a willingness to attack dull and hard problems with a certain joy of conquest It means, in fine, to count display of no avail in comparison with efficiency; and popular acclaim of no worth compared with permanent results.
