AN ELOQUENT SERMON.
Chaplain (jough Preached to The
Manning Guards at The Bap
tist Church Last Sunday.
"The weapons of our warfare are
not carnal, but mighty through God,
to the pulling down of the strong
holds."-I1. Corinthians, chapter 10,
verse 4.
Perchance as some of you hear the
rattling of the sabre and the tramp
of the soldier-boy, some half obliter
ated memories flash through your
minds. Perhaps some, with that
patriotic spirit, touch once more the
shoulder of their comrades upon a
field of carnage. You hear the bugle
call, the drum beats, and the great
army moves on. The world has had
its armies. its battles, its defeats, its
victories. The world has had its
Alexanders, its C sars, its Na
polcons,4. and its Lees, who have
swept like fierce tornadoes over
the loviest realms, leaving be
hind them wasted fields, plundered
buildings, depopulated cities. But
the weapons of their warfare were
carnal.
Paul here writing to the Christian
soldier. says, "The weapons of our
warfare are not carnal, but mighty
through God, to the pulling down of
the strongholds."
Standing not long ago in an en
closure at the capitol of this great
nation with some half-dozen com
rades, I saw two of America's great
armies engaged in deadly combat. I
saw the sabres flashing in the sun
light. Yonder goes the gallant steed
dashing across the plains; yonder
falls the great captain; here lies the
dead and dying. For a few moments
I touched the hand of the old soldier,
and beneaththe waiving banner we
encountered the foe over the fields
of Gettysburg. But ah ! so soon
I longed for the "drum-beat to
throb no longer, and the battle-flag
to furl." And in my inmost soul -
thanked G..d that tne dark, black
cloud of war had forever passed, and
the glorious sunlight of peace once
more fills the universe. But I fear
that I was crying "peace, peace,
when there was no peace."
To-day two of the mightiest armies
that the world has ever felt have met
on the battlefield of life. All along
the line we hear the din and noise of
preparation. The sentinels are mov
ing to and fro on the watch towers
with anxious dread. On yonder
heights I see the bristling hosts of
hell martialing for the dread hour,
led on by the king of the bottomless
pit. Who shall face the mighty
hosts? Where is the great Captain
that will lead his hosts on to victory?
Ah ! there is one great Captain,
Chieftain, Leader, around whom all
the universe may gather. His name
is "The Lord, strong and mighty,
mighty in battle."
Constantine, says the historian,
was marching at the head of his
great army from France to encounter
hiis rival, Maxentius. in a conflict
upon the issues of which his empire
depended. Oppressed with anxiety,
he prayed that some God might aid
him, when in the heavens and higher
than the sun a luminous cross ap
peared emblazened with these words,
"B~y this sign thou shalt conquer."
He did conquer, and ever after that
the cross was displayed as the ban
ner of the Casars.
So with the cross of Jesus going on
before, the mighty hosts of God
know no defeat. Victory is sure, be
cause the Lord appointed the battle
and prepared the weapons, and be
hind all the din and noise of prepar
ation, behind all the dread anxiety,
chaos, and confusion, sits enthroned
the God of battle, and "He goes forth
conquering and to conquer" with the
weapons of his own warfare.
Paul in this writing speaks of "the
weapons of our warfare being not
carnal, but mighty through God to
the pulling down of the strongholds."
Let us reverse the order of the text
and enquire
I.WHAT ARE THE STRONGHOLDS AGAINST
WHICH GOD'S PEOPLE MOVEs TO-DAYZ
1. Unconverted men. I place my
field glasses to my eyes and view the
distant regiments, battalions, and
armies, and I see a mighty host of
unregenerate men, composing a
mighty stronghold of. satan, march
on under the banner of the pit. Some
are in advance of the army and have
mingled in hand to hand combat
with God's people. And this great
squadron overshadows the earth and
holds untold millions in her grasps.
Men whose character, lives and ef
forts have been to crush and blot
out of the universe the kingdom of
righteousness, and to erect upon her
demolished and ruined throne the
universal kingdom of crime. This
mighty stronghold of unregenerate
men, led on by the powers of hell,
are lifting the black flag of rebellion
against the kingdom of God and His
Christ. I view the field once more
and I see over on the distant plains a
mighty stronghold of satan which
bears the name of
2.A CORRUPT FOEM or CHRISTIANITY.
This upon the surface bears the sign
of peace, but this signal of a treaty
is but the spy sent forward to view
the hosts of God. What is true relig
ion ? What is Christianity ? Must
there not lie, back of all organiza
tion, back of all systems of religion,
back of Christianity, all that
uplifts the worlds, that lifts up and
shapes and moulds -glorious man
hood out of the crushed and broken
wreck; must there not underlie all,
systems of religion the bed-rock, the
"pillar and corner-stone ' God's
everlasting truth must underlie and
permeate all systems of Christianity
that honors God and blesses the
world. I fail to see in Roman Catho
licism anything of the Divine Christ.
But on every side I see her huge col
umns drawn up for attack, and if
possible she wvould blot out of the
world God's everlasting truth, and
with one mighty stroke snatch God
from off the power of his throne and
turn the fairest heaven into a dark,
cheerless dungeon of despair. But I
see once more a mignty stronghold of
toiling with untiring zeal to
overturn the Christian's faith
and brand the author as a cheat and
to enchain the wild passions of men
and blot hope from the horizon of
the soul and sink the doctrine of im
mortality into the deep gulf of noth
ingess. But some one says, "These
strongholds are foreign; they do not
confront us." My dear brother, they
do confront you in your own State
and in your own community. But
let us come a step nearer home:
. 5ALOON AND DISPENSARY
is one of if not the greatest
strongholds of hell. And this,
my brother, is not confined to
any one place, but they dot almost
every hill-top and valley. And
wherever a saloon or dispensary is
found there is a mighty stronghold
for satan. And wherever they are
tolerated there is found a great draw
back to the onward march of the
civilization of any State or nation,
and a dark blot upon the Christiani
every bottle that adorns the shelves
of yonder dispensary there blazes the
Nlames of hell. And when poured
within man it sets his soul on fire
and carries him down to the filth and
slums, and at last to a drunkard's
grave and a drunkard's hell. And
from behind these strongholds go
forth the mighty phalanx of drunk
ards sweeping before them the sweet
est joy of the human heart, blasting
many a happy home and turning
them into a hell on earth, crushing
the fairest hopes of a loving wife.
himself a blighted, bloated, ruined
wreck. But a step still nearer:
5. IN EACU HUVAN HEART
is found a great stronghold of
the wicked one. Satan has
encamped around about our
hearts, and there is where the
battle must be fought and the victo
ry won. There is sometimes a strong
hold for satan in our homes where
the card table is erected and the
dance is maintained. But beyond
our hearts, beyond our homes, our
country, our State, lies
6. THE GREAT HEATBE wORLD
composing a terrible stronghold of s.L
tan, where the bright rays of the sun
of righteousness are just beginning to
gild the morning dawn. Against all
these strongholds. The Christian
soldier is represented as going forth.
This leads us to notice
II. THE WEAPONS.
Paul says they are not
carnal, but are mighty through
God to the pulling down of
the stronghold. God's word is rep
resented as being sharp, even sharper
than any two-edged sword. It is
"the sword of the spirit." This,
young comrades, I would place in
your hands. God's word is God's
thought. It is the revelation of
God's will to us. When God lived in
human flesh and moved in human
society He spoke and multitudes
were silent before Him, the madden
ing waves lay at his feet. God's
word is truth and truth is always in
vincible. All truth is from God. no
matter where you find it. Whether
in the great book of nature, or in
some dead, lifeless system of philoso
phy, or in each human heart. Truth
is from God. "Thy word, oh God, is
truth."
You see the bright rays of the sun
lighting up the beautiful landscape.
Take the smallest ray that trembles
between the shade and shadow, and
follow it up step by step, and soon
you are at the sun, the hIing of Day.
Take the tiniest dewdrop that
twinkles to the morning sun. Take
up the scientific research back
through the great world of thought
you go, on through the different
stages of scientific knowledge. and
when you have finished you land at
God, its author. So the smallest
thread of truth leads up to God.
And between God and truth there is
no war, for truth takes her stand on
the side of God and calls him
Father.
The writer says: "Put on the whole
armor of God." This is but the prep
aration for the battle. He likewise
tells us to -wield the sword of the
spirit, which is the word of God."
With the whole armor of God around
your manly forms and with drawn
sword in hand, I would hasten
you on to the battle. You need no
other weapon than the one ordained
by God. There is enough power in
that one weapon to conquer the
world. It has been tried sufficiently
by the great Captain of our salva
tion. When He was attacked by the
Devil along the wilderness of Judea
with these words: "If Thou be the
Son of God command that these
stones be made bread," the great
Leader drew his sword and drove the
enemy from the field by a single
stroke. "Man shall not live by bread
alone."
The great champion of the bottom
less pit once more gathered his shat
tered and defeated forces, and on the
pinnacle of the temple he made the
second attack, when once more the
sword of the Spirit flashed from its
scabbard and fell with crushing effect
upon the arch enemy of souls.
"Thou shalt not tempt the Lord
Thy God." I stand for a few mo
ments in almost death-like stillness
as I see a little band of Christian
soldiers marching almost silently
around the massive walls of Jericho.
I see no burnished muskets ; no
gleaming swords. Doubtless the
thought flashed through the minds
of the hosts of Jericho: "What means
all this noise of horns and tramp of
soldiery ? Do they think to overturn
our city, plunder our buildings and
conquer our long-established soldiery
by such methods? Let them move
on. Let the old ram's horn ring ; we
trouble not ourselves."
On they go. Early and late the
sound of the old ram's horn rang
over the plains of Jericho. On goes
the heroic band. March, march,
march around the huge massive
walls of the doomed city until the
seventh had been reached, and with
the seventh went forth the first peal
of victory.
The command to "shout" rang out,
and, as the shout went heavenward,
the old walls began to totter and fall,
and in a few moments that great
city was but a heap of crushed and
broken architecture. The weapon
of God had become through Him
mighty to the pulling dow.n of the1
stronghold.
I suppose had the hosts of Midian
seen Gideon's little band of three
hundred marching on through the
dense darkness to attack them with
no weapons save lamps, pitchers and
trumpets they would have laughed
them to scorn.
But on they go-each man intent
on victory, and under the command
of their leader the three hundred
burst their pitchers and flashed their
lantrns in the midnight darkness,
while hill-top and valley rang with
the mighty shout : "The sword of the
Lord and of Gideon."
At once the great army of Midian
fled-not only defeated, but panic
striken. Once again the weapon of
God had become mighty through
Him to the pulling down of the
stronghold.
So it is. The Gospel of Jesus Christ
is a gospel of power. It is the power
of God. It is the great central force
that will one day drive sin from the
face of the earth and from the heart
of man. The Gospel of Christ is the
great weapon that will one day re
store a "Paradise Lost" and draw an
orphan world back to its Father.
The gospel of Christianity is the hope
of the world. It is the only power
that can overturn the stronghold
of sin, vice and corruption that exist
in the business, social, political, as
well as the religious world. Every
patriot and hero in the past ages
of this great nation was a man who
believed in a Gospel of Power.
George Washington and his men
at Valley Forge, when the blood
drops fell upon the rugged ice, mark
ing their foot-prints from hut to hut.
Half starved, half clothed, they
shiver through the freezing winter,
bearing aloft the burnished musket
and gleaming bayonet. Through
long years of bloody conflict they
earried the ark of the world's liber
ty. These were men in whose head
and hearts dwelt the gospel of power.
And the heroes who p laced the dome1
upon the capitol at Washington Cityf
and crowned it with the statue of
Liberty and flung out the Stars and
Stripes to the breezes and invited
the world to freedom were men in
whose hearts dwelt the spirit of
Now, since we have seen the strong
holds and that the sword of God,
wielded inl the hands of Christian
soldiers, is the great weapon of our
wafaet.ssadaie n ehs
two mighty armies come together
and see what will be the result. The
Bible says in the text that the strong
holds must be pulled down. This
means
III. CHRISTIANITY TRIV31PIIANT.
The history of the world is the
history of a war: the history of a
struggle. The history of Christianity
is the history of a victory. But be
fore her triuiphant march to-day I
see no swords to destroy, no tires to
ravage, no engines of wrath. Along
the path of God's heroes no charg
ing squadrons whirl, no murderous
cannon roar. Instead of war's stern
excitement, the wild fury, the clash
of arms, the death grapple, and gar
ments rolled in blood, we see heralds
of uercy bearing aloft the name of
Jesus. There is a power in that
name. "All hail the power of Jesus'
namne." "Thou shalt call his name
Jesus, for He shall save His people
from their sins."
From the battlefield of the Cruci
fixion, where right niet wrong, where
Christ met the devil in de ly com
bat and threw him back kto the
dungeon of despair, down along the
track of epochs and ages the march
of christianity is the march of vic
tory. And to-dav rings out this glad
hallelujah: "The Lord is come. Let
earth receive her king." It rings
from hill-top to hill-top ; from nation
to nation. It rings across the deep.
It circles the globe and I see in it the
radiant dawn of victory enthroned.
From the four hundred and fifty
millions of hearts that make up the
Christian world comes the thunder
peal of victory. From every conti
nent of the earth, from every island
of the sea, from every kindred race
and tongue comes the shout of tri
umph.
"In the cross of Christ I glory :
Towering over the wrecks of time."
Soldiers of the victorious captain,
hear the call that comes to you to
day. Gird on the whole armor of
God and hasten to the combat.
As the standard-bearer of my Great
Leader I unfurl his banner in your
midst, and ask you to rally around
it and go forth to the battle of the
ages-the conflict of right against
wrong. I cone to you to-day with
the words that once thrilled the heart
of many a hero: "Go where glory
awaits you." Not the glory of earth's
battlefields, but the glory of rescu
ing the lost ; the glory of striking off
the fetters of the enslaved, of lead
ing the captives out of prison, of
throwing around the lost the safe
guards of liberty, wherewith Christ
had made them free.
Toward sunset of a long, bloody
day of Waterloo, when the surviving
remnants of the Old Imperial Guards
were commanded to throw down
their arms, the scarred ;veterans of
fifty victories cried out : "The Old
Guard dies, but she never surren
dered." May that be the victorious
shout of the Manning Guards when
the last gun has been fired on the
battle-field of life and the smoke of
battle clears away. She never sur
rendered in the battle of right
against wrong.
NOT HING STtANGE.
Intelligent people, who realize the ima
portart part the blood holds in keeping
the body in a normal condition, find noth
ing strange in the number of diseases that
Hood's Sarsaparilla is able to cure. So
many troubles result from impure blood
that the best way to treat them. is through
the blood, and it is far better to use only
harmless vegetable com pounds than to
dose to excess with quinine, e.domel and
other drugs. By treating the blood with

dyspepsia, catarrh. rheonmatismi. nenralgia,
consumption, and other tronbles that origi
nate in impnrities of the blood or impaired
circulation, can all be curedl.
STRANGE CIRCUMSTANCES.
It seems strange to us that that portion
of the Democratic party of the cities who
are too pure and holy to associate with the
hon est, hard-working. law-abiding coun try
people should seek to be thc champions
and defenders of the lawless element of the
State.
It seems strange that the city people who
are too pure to associate politically with
their white country brethren should he so
solitous about seeking the friendship and
aood-will of the country corntieldl negroes.
We can understand why a lawyer who js
out of a job should propose to go to conit
for them, if somebody wilt haud r.und the
hat and take up a collection.
Another strange thing is the wholesale
and viotent denunciation ol the good peo
ple of Edgefield, from various quarters, be
cause they invited the H~on. J. J. I'argan
not to speak. The people were incensed at
him, and simply gave him orders to get
out of town. They treated him very' oneh
as they and the people of Abbeville treated
Chamberlain in 1876. It wa; all right
then. But Chamiberain preferred white
supremacy. Dargan wants to incite the'
negroes to dissatisfaetion with the laws.
Another strange thing is, that the negroes
are so easily gulled. There is not an lion
est white man on the faice of the earth that
really wants the government tnrned over
to the negroes-and, when there are no
plums or offices in sight, one white wan is
about as good a friend to him as any other.
All intelligent white men want to see the
negro get his exact rights in his personal
business transactions as well ats in the
courts of justice. But we believ-e no white
man, who is true to himself or his race, is
the negroes' friend, politically.
It seems strange, too, that the fornmer
office-holding class shoubi die so hard, and
show so little common sense in the hour of
their defeat. Eleg'tnt city gentlemen and
little cuckoo country editors have nothina
to gain by insulting the voteis. There is
only two ways of gaining ofiee in Soumth
Carolina. namely:
1. By an honest vote of the people in
the primary.
2. By manipulating a convention.
The people having had a ta-te of per'onal
liberty in voting for -uen of their own
choice, will hardly ever consent to have
cut and dried tickets placed in their hainds
by anybody. Even the country people of'
Edgefield who do not want to hear Dargan
speak nmay b2 considered by somea people
as good as Dargan's apologsts.
It is strange that the city liquorite and
the mountain moonshiner should be
prompted by a like disposition to resist the
same laws. ~Although the city liquorite and
the moonshiner may he as fair apart as the
poles, yet each would sink the State or die
for his lhquor.
It is strange that so many newspapers
hould seek to assail the good name of the
State, simply because they do not like the
men who hold the offices, or because of op
position to the laws.
It is strange that so many men who are
ambitious of political power should seek to
strengthen their party in weakening their
own ranks by the alienation of friends, and
by insulting the ranks of the opposition,
from whom alone strength can be gained,
or accessions received.--Ab~beville Press
and Banner (Conservative.)
There is more catarrh in this section of'
the country than a:l other diseases put to

many years doctors pronounced it a local

by constantly failing to cure with local

THE OMNIPRESENT HAIRPIN.
Man Looks at It Askance, While Woman
Applies It to Many Uses.
A hairpin is an object which pos
sesses a strange interest for the mas
culine mind. A woman regards a
hairpin with as little respect ordi
narily as a common pin. Indeed she
is even less careful of its acquisition,
for there is no adage offering a day's
good luck as a reward for picking up
a hairpin.
But a man who comes across a stray
hairpin on a street car seat, for in
stance, regards it with an air of tim
id triumph, and perhaps offers it to
the nearest woman from whose back
hair it could possibly have fallen.
And he is generally snubbed for his
pains. But it is when he beholds a
woman putting a hairpin to other
than what he regards as its legiti
mate purpose that he is most im
pressed. The woman who reaches
around to her back hair, deftly ex
tracts a hairpin, bites it togethe- and
then buttons her gloves as noncha
lantly as if she were using simply
the fingers with which nature pro
vided her is an object of respectful
but intense admiration to every man
in sight.
But if a woman wants to rivet all
masculine eyes she has only to buy a
new magazine and cut the leaves with
a hairpin. Whole carloads of stea'ly
business men, not easily impressed
by the frivolities of women, have
been held spellbound by this little
act. Passengers on the elevated
tramns have been unable to tear
themselves from the contemplation
*of the process and have sat still with
troubled but watchful eyes as they
heard their station called. 'The other
day the writer saw at least 20 men
watching with breathless interest
the bali-pin method of magazine cut
ting, as practiced by a very swell
young woman, who was apparently
unconscious of the scrutiny which
followed her every movement.
When she finally replaced the hair
pin in her fluffy locks, every man of
the 20 gave a sigh and then looked
sheepishly at his neighbor. As for
the young woman she turned to look
out of the window, but there was a
covert look of amused satisfaction in
her eye wvhich intimated that her un
consciousness of observation had
been in appearance only.-New York
Sun. _______
whats the Color of That Blood?
Whenever I see a New York man
who should know better doing some
thing that is radically rude it makes
my blood boil. I cannot help but
feel that it must be intentional. I
saw this only yesterday when a fel
low, who belongs to two of the smart
est clubs in this city and bears an
honored and historic name, slam a
storm door in a woman's face at Del
monico's. It gave me pleasure to see
him afterward, somewhat under the
weather, at the same place, dozing
at his table. The woman came from
the west, and I have no doubt she
goes to her home on the prairies with
a poor opinion of New York men.
There are times when we are rude,
but there is a refinement even in
rudeness, and whatever we may be
obliged to do we should never de
scend to the level of the masses. We
should remember that we have an
example to maintain and that we
should show them the way in which
they should go. The man who fails
in this is not one of us, and he is not
worth picking up even with a pair
of tongs.-Vogue.
Queer Pets.
An animal which makes a most
agreeable pet, but is rarely tamed on
account of its fur value, is the North
American beaver. A well known
[ndian trader some years ago tamed
several of these hard working fellows
so that they answered to their names
and followed like dogs. In cold
weather they were kept in the sit
ting room and were constant com
panions of the women and children.
When the Indians were absent for
any great tinme, the beavers showved
reat uneasiness, and on their return
iscovered equal signs of pleasure by
fondling them, crawling into their
aps, lying on their backs like
squirrels and behaving like children
in the presence of parents who they
seldom see. In their wild state
beavers feed on bark and herbage
hiefly, but in their case they were fed
for the most part on rice, plum pud
ing, partridge and venison, and
they liked all of them extremely.
