THE MANNING TIMES. Published Ecery 1ednesday. Foreston News. FOnESTON, September 4.-My first article in your popular paper, created some com nient in Foreston. One class of your read ers said that the author "labored under a mistake;" another, that he had a very "pro lific imagination," while a third, not quite so complimentary, gave him a good old En glish broadside, as an awful liar. To these skeptics we reply, that in Foreston we de not "labor under mistakes,"and we are not gifted with "prolific imaginations," but we are too polite to contradict anyone. On the evening of the 25th the Foreston merry-makers paid a flying visit to Wilsons, and had a delightful time. We have had a protracted meeting in the Methodist church, and good preaching. We hope for great good from this meeting. There are some long faces amongst the juveniles of this community, for school opens on Monday. Cotton-picking is in full blast. The av erage colored cook can now be hired on the following terms, only, viz: board, washing, $25.00 per month, and the use of the parlor and piano on Saturday and Sunday even ings. We have several fair visitors now: Miss Marie Brunson, of Wedgefield, and Miss Meddie Brown, of St. Matthews, are visit ing relatives here. We hope they may stay forever. Mr. Joe Wilson has accepted a situation with Messrs. Mason & Wilkins, on Santee. He left on Monday morning, with a very long face. Your correspondent bade him good-bye with a light heart, a feeling of "true inwardness," and a sneaking determi nation to cut him out. The health of Foreston is undoubtedly good. We would suggest a skating rink as a "modus operandi" of increasing cases in .urW. Oliver carries a smiling face these times. We think that the "happy day" is named for some time in the latter part of November, and hope for a piece of cake. If we get the cake before the time, you will hear again from BuTnoN. P. S. An old lady declares that you can hear anything you please in Foreston, but the worst thing she has heard yet, is the sound of the cup against the bottom of the flour barrel. "I Want My Mother." An old, old woman lay slowly dying. He life had oeen one of care and toil, of pain and sorrow. She had outlived all of the companions of her youth. Those of he middle life had long been in their graves In her old age, with her two daughters themselves decrepit with the burden of sev enty-five and eighty years-she had been obliged to find refuge and shelter within almshouse walls. But she was too old tc care for that. Poverty and public charity had lost all terror for her at last. She was oblivious of her surroundings. Her mind had let go its hold upon the present, and her thoughts busied themselves with the scenes and days of childhood, and in plain tive tones she exclaimed, "I want my moth er! I want my mother!" The daughters hearing her call went tc the bedside asking, "What do you want mother ?" She looked at them with eyes in whici was no gleam of recognition. All memor3 of husband and children had long faded away. "Who are these old women?" she asked. "I don't want them. Go away!" Mother Mother! Why don't you come? I want m3 mother!" The poor old daughters, themselve trembling on the verge of the grave, turnec away weeping. Their mother's love hac stood the test till now, but in life's las hours she w'as again a little child, and as she felt the chill of death stealing over her she longed for her mother's sheltering arm "Mother, I am so tired and sleepy !] want to be undressed and go to bed. Nov hear me say my prayers." The shriveled hands clasped themselve: together-as they had been wont to do, oh, smayyears ago !-and the trembling vocAaltered out: "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep; If I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take; And this I ask for Jesus' sake." "Good-night !" she added, softly, after moment's pause. She closed her eyes, bu opened them directly, with an eager, hap py, look. Her daughters saw her face gro~ young and radiant. "Oh, mother ! nother ! I am so glai you've come !" She stretched out her arms. There wal one brief minute, and then the weary pil grim, whose feet had trod the rough path of eahfornearly ahudred yeas, was a rest: "Whore the child shall find its mother, And the mother find her child." IT'S A LONG TIME BETWEEN DRINES Incidents That Led Up to the Saying Ihat Made Two Governors Famous. Every man in the United States is sup posed to know what the "governor of Nortl Carolina said to the governor of South Car olina," but possibly some do not know whe: or under what circumstances the famous re mark was made. Nearly a century a man prominent in political affairs in N orti Carolina moved across the border and set tied in South Carolina. He had been ther< only a short while when he committed some small crime or misdemeanor, for which he was indicted. To escape arrest he return ed to his old home in North Carolina. IL due course of time the governor of SoutJ Carolina issued his requisition on the gov ernor of North Carolina for the fugitiv< criminal. The fugitive had rich influentia friends in his native State and they inter ceded with the governor until he refusei to grant the requisition. A long officia correspondence followed. Prominent mer in South Carolina told the governor that h< had not been treated with proper officia courtesy by the governor of North Carolina The result was that the South Carolina go~ ernor, accompanied by a large party c friends and advisers, journeyed by stage t< Raleigh, the capital of North Carolina for.a conference with the governor about the matter of 'iving up the criminal. The gov~ ernor of North Carolina, with a large part of distinguished friends, met the govcrno; of South Carolina several miles from towr and escorted him to the governor's mansior with all the ceremony due distinguishei visitors. Before the object of the visit wa: stated the entire party sat down to an elab orate dinner. After dinner wine was servec and after wine came brandy-the applejac] for which the old North State is famous After many rounds of drinks the decanters and glasses were removed, and the govern or of South Carolina stated the object of hil visit. He demanded the surrender of the fugitive criminal. The governor of Nort] Carolina refused. Then followed a lonj and heated discussion in which the at torney generals of the two States took at active part. Finally the governor o: South Carolina grew angry and risinj to his feet said: "Sir you have refusei my just demand and offended the dig nity of my office and my State. Unlesa you surrender the prisoner I will return t< my capital, call out the malitia of the St.ate and returning with my army, I will tak< the fugitive by force of arms. Governor what do you say ?" All eyes were turned or the governor of North Cairolina, and his an swer was awaited with breathless interest The governor rose slowly to his feet ani beckoned to a servant who stood some dis tance away. His beckoning was firm anc dignified, as became his position. He wa slow about answering, and again the gov ernor of South Carolina demanded, "Whba do you say ?" "I say, governor, that it isa long time between drinks." The reply re stored good humor. Decanters and glasse: were brought out again, and while the vis itors remained, if anyone attempted to re fer to the diplomatic object of the visit h< was cut short by the remark that it was long time between drinks. When the vis iting governor was ready to return home he was escorted to the State line by the gover nor of North Carohina, and they parted thi best of friends. The fugitive was neve: uendered. THE BOOK WE TEACH. Read by Dr. J. M. Burgess Before the In terdenomiiational Sunday-School Con vention, of Clarendon County, at Oak land, September 4th, 1891. This, I uLderstand, means the Bi ble, and in speaking of it on the pres ent occasion, I shall confine my re marks to God's promises to man con tained therein, and by way of ccdrast will first refer to his condition befose a promise was made. God's first communication to Ad am after he became a living soul, was one of direction: be fruitful, replen ish the earth and subdue it. Second, of authority: have dominion over every living thing. Third, conferring a gift: that of fruit and vegetables to be used as food. Fourth, of permis sion: to eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden. Fifth, of prohibition: thou shalt not eat of the tree of knowledge of good and evil. Sixth, of threatened punishment: in the day that thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely die. With this Adam was put in the Garden of Eden, to dress it and to keep it. He was permitted to name the beasts of the field and the fowls of the air, and have dominion over them, but he was not allowed to eat their flesh. In occupation he was a gardener and herdsman; in diet he was a veg etarian. The gift of Eve was a help, meet and proper for him. She was pre sented to him in silence. There was no direction given to Adam concern ing her. No authority was given to him over her. There was mutual equality -mutual independence. No obligation from either to other, except what was tacitly implied in the gift as a help. Adam accepted this help. He ac knowledged that she was bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh, and he called her woman. This was and still is an honorable term, for which the merely distinctive and complimentary title lady is some times improperly substituted. In a catechism for children the question is asked, was man happy in the Garden of Eden ? and the answer is given: Every thing was there to make man happy. True, everything which was neces sary to his physical happiness was there, but of the presence and com panionship of his Maker there is no record. He no doubt loved God merely as a generous and benevolent friend, but the gifts and priviliges which had been bestowed required no sacrifice on God's part, and his love for Adam was not such as he had for him after he fell, and which alone inspired true love in Adam for God. Adam had' no internal source of happiness. No promise had been made to him of any future good. All the pleasure of anticipation was 1denied him. He could only look for ward to death if he disobeyed. He had nothing to hope for, and conse quently could have no faith. He doubtless had aspirations for that knowledge of good and evil, to be obtained by eating the fruit of a certain tree, but he was met by the threat of death if he ate of it. Contemplating Adam in this situa tion we may ask, not, Was he happy, but, Could he be happy ? When he disobeyed he saw his er ror and tried to hide his shame. Then it was that his Maker's love for his creatures was felt and shown. He sought for them; he called them from their hiding place among the1 trees of the garden. He talked with them. His heart yearned in pity for* them. He inquired particularly into the case. -When full confession of their guilt Shad been made the tempter was first denounced. How humiliating it must have been to him to hear that he had been foil ed; that the woman he had tried to ruin would be the ancestress of his destroyer. How comforting it must have been Sto Eve, as she stood with downcast eyes in the presence of her Maker, -cowering like an offending child be 1fore an offended parent, to hear, be 1fore she was condemed, that her seed should bruise the serpent's head. IShe could then hear with some -composure that her sorrows would be multiplied. She could hear with patience that she would no longer be equal with or independent of her husband; that her desire should be to him, or, as it is rendered in the margin, that she should be subject to him. This loss of equality with and sub jection to Adam implied, however, that she should have a right to his love, sympathy, support, and protec tion. It implied that all wives should have the same right. It implied, furthermore, that all women should have a right to the respect, sympathy, and protection of all men. On the part of A dam, this subjec tion of his wife to him implied that he should accord to her, in full meas ure, the enjoyment of the rights she had acquired. It implied that all Ihusbands should do the same for their wives, and that all men should re spect, protect, and sympathize with all women. This is the distinctive, social differ ence between a civilized man and a beast, and so well is this difference and obligation understood and ac cepted that a man's removal from a state of savagery-his civilization, his enlightenment, and his Christian charity, is measured by his respect and sympathy for and his willingness and readiness to protect and defend the female sex. In thus honoring woman we are imitating God Himself, who, as if in sympathy with Eve, not only prom ised that redemption should come to her and all her race through her seed, but in a spiritual sense espoused a woman, and, as had been foretold by the Angel Gabriel, and as we are taught in the Apostles creed, there w as conceived by the Holy Ghost, and born of the Virgin Mary, the Man, Christ Jesus, the promised Re deemer. Iappears to me that the promises ofGod furnish a peculiarly suitable study for Sunday-school teachers and scholars. The mind of a child is naturally heedless to threats, and highly sus ceptible to promises. The words different ideas. The difference in the very sound of the words is significant and suggestive-one bodes evil, the other good; oie is repulsive, the other attractive; one is harsh, the other soft. Fifty years ago, when I was a ten year old Sunday-school scholar, I was aware that a Saviour for sinners had died, but I was not taught that He had been promised, nor that the promise was made before Adam was driven from Eden, nor that it was re corded in the fifteenth verse of the third chapter of Genesis. Many years afterwards a catechism was prepared for children in which the question is asked, "Did the Sa viour come and die for sinners as soon as the first man sinned ?" and the an swer is given "No; but He promised He would come, and He did come." A negro boy who had been in structed in this catechism was asked this question, and he answered, "No; he promised to come, but he didn't come." An Irishman would say, the white boy and the black boy were just alike, but different. The white boy knew He had come, but did not know that He had been promised. The black boy knew that He had been promised, but did not know that He had come. Adam was sentenced to death, but the promise preceded the sentence. He was driven from Eden, but he carried the promise with him, and its fulfillment was foreshadowed in the offering of Abel. After the flood the same direction was given to Noah and his sons, that had been given to Adam: be fruitful; the same dominion over every living thing; the same permission to eat of the green herb, with the addition of permission to eat the flesh of animals, only excepting their blood, because it was their life, and typified the blood of'Christ which would bring eternal life to man. When the people had become scat tered abroad upon the face of the earth, the promise was renewed to Abram, and sealed with circumcision, thus again signifying that salvation would come by the blood of the Sa viour. The promise was renewed to Isaac and Jacob, to Moses and the Israel ites, and kept fresh in the minds of the people by types and ceremonial observances; by the assurance that God would send his Angel before them, and keep them in the way; that He would commune with them above the mercy seat; that the taber nacle should be sanctified by His glory, and that His presence should go with them. The threat of death made to Adam before he disobeyed was conditional; if ye eat ye shall die. The promise to him after he diso beyed was unconditional; her seed shall bruise the serpent's head. So also the promise to Abram, in thee shall all the families of the earth be blessed. When the Israelites had reached the foot of Mount Sinai, and God's love and power had been fully shown, a condition was again attached; they were told if ye will obey my voice, ye shall be a peculiar treasure. To us it is said, if we believe we shall live for ever. When the Saviour came He assured His followers, and all who should be lieve on Him, that He would be with them alway, even unto the end of the world. After his death and resurrection, when he was about to return to heav en, he promised to send the comfort er, the Holy Ghost, and that he would come again and receive them to himself, and they should be joint heirs with him in his Father's King dom, and that they should be like God, and see him as he is. It will be observed that there was no special manifestation of God's love for Adam until after he diso beyed, and no promise of restoration until after he confessed his guilt. .When Adam said, I did eat, and Eve said, I did eat, God turned to the serpent, and while pronouncing a curse upon him he promised redemp tion to Adam and Eve, and all their posterity. And this is peculiar to all his prom ises. They are never made until they are needed. No pardon for sin is offered until guilt is confessed, and the argument of unrepenting men that God is too merciful to punish sinners is fallacious. God's wrath is visited upon sin, and if a man clings to it, he must re ceive its punishment. This promise of a Saviour is the foundation of all God's promises to man. All the promises of God in Him are Yea, and in Him Amen. Without the promise of a Saviour, and the love therein manifested, man can expect nothing good from his Maker. Without expectation of good he can have no hope; without hope he can have no love; without thesae he can have no faith; without faith he can have no grace, and without grace he can have no salvation, for by grace he is saved through faith. It is also peculiar to- God's earlier promises to men that they were to be fulfilled under apparently impossible conditions; and therefore, calculated to test more fully their faith in His word and power. For example, His promise to Eve, that her seed should bruise the serpent's head, while as yet she had no seed, and none had been promised after her transgression; to Noah that He would preserve him and his family from destruction by a flood of waters, when he had no idea what a flood of waters meant, and af ter it was over, that the rainbow should be a sign that the earth should never again be destroyed by a flood of waters, when he had never seen a rainbow, and could have no concep tion of its cause or appearance. So also of His promise to Abram; to Manoa's wife; to Zacharias; and to the Virgin Mary. By faith in God's promise, Abel of fered sacrifice, and obtained the wit ness of his righteousness; and we may imagine Adam and Eve rejoicing in that witness. By it Enoch had the testimony that he pleased God. By it Noah prepared the Ark and became heir to righteousness. By it Abra ham and Sarah, became the parents of innumerable multitudes. By it Daniel went boldly into a den of lions, and the Hebrew children into a fiery furnace.
