Paeksville, March 31.-The last week's warm weather, the whistling of the birds, and the south winds from the flowery hills, combined with an old familiar hum oce is ionally of a strayed mosquito, proves that spring has once more put in her general appearance. The farmers thus far seem to be pretty well advanced with their work. Most of them are throngh planting corn and wait ing the proper time for cotton. Track farming is also carried on pretty extensive ly in this vacinity. Miss Lidy Tisdale, one of Summerton's most charming young ladies, is spending this week with the Misses Curtis, of this place. We wish her a pleasant visit, so much so that we would have her come again. Mr. Hampton McLeod, one of our neigh boring citizens living a few miles west of this place, was struck and killed instantly in Columbia last Saturday by a railroad locomotive. His remains were brought on Sunday morning au1 buried at Bethel church in the afternoon. This is the fourth one of the family who were killed by accidents. Two of them were killed by tunaways of horses, and one by the falling of a well-sweep. Hampton McLeod left here two weeks ago a strong, hale, robust man. Little did he hr any of his friends think that he would return a corpse so soon afterwaris. Rev. C. M.

THE SUNDAY sCltooL-ITrs ORIGIN AND MISSIoN. On or about the year 1783, Robert Raikes gave to the world the first in timation of the modern Sunday school. There had been !ong before this, however, something of a similar nature here and therm, but Raikes was the lirst man to bring the system into prominent notice and employ means to extend it. When he began his work he had no idea of what it would come to. Since he began his work the world has honored him as being the first to stamp perpetuity on the system and to make it known to the world. Raikes tells us in his own words that "the beginning of the modern Sunday-school was entirely owing to an accident. Some business one morning leading me into the suburbs of the city, where the lowest of the people, who are principally employed in the pin factory, chiefly reside, I was struck with concern at seeing a group of children, wretched and rag ged, at play in the streets, I asked an inhabitant whether those children be longed to that part of the town, and lamented this misery and idleness. 'Ah, sir!' said the woman to whom I was speaking, 'could you take a view of this part of the town on a Sunday you would be shocked indeed, for then the street is filled with multi tudes of these wretchesjwho, released that day from employment, spend their time in noise and riot, cursing and swearing, presenting to a culti vated mind some idea of hell.' This conversation suggested to-me that it would be a harmless attempt, if it were to produce io good, should some little plan be formed to check this deplorable way of spending the Sabbath." Consequently some lady teachers were employed at a salary of twenty-four cents per day to teach them to read and memorize the church catechism. From this and out of this system has grown the wonderful plan o'f teaching the word of God in the Sunday-school. This was but the spring, the first little stream, which has come on and still on, widening and broadening and deepening, until the Sunday-school work is known and felt all over the entire civilized wdrld. It was the intense love that a Chris tian man had for the wretched chil dren that led to this great work. THlE MISSION OF THE SUNDAY-SCHOOL. From the history of its origin we find that the very first reason given for this-organization was: 1. To gather the children and young people from the streets, pre venting them from violating the Sab bath day. The teachers employed would go into the darkest alley and the filthiest street to find the little "tot" and carry him or her into the school. What a blessed thing it wouldl be if some of our teachers would commune with God until their hearts would "heave within them" for the children and young people of our town and community. Almost every Sunday morning we see boys and young men gathered around the postoffice or on the street corner, or in a buggy, riding, in the place of going to the Sunday-school, There is not a boy or girl oyer three years of age in this community but that should go to some Sunday-school. I would not say that the reason they don't go is because of the negligence of the teacher. Many times it is be cause of the car'elessness and negli gence of the parents at home. If the parents would like for their children to go to the school and take some in terest in that work, by all means, pa rents, go and take them, and show some interest in it yourself. Your child would not be interested in any thing of that nature unless you are interested yourself. Now the measles are about gone and the siekness in our midst is about over, let all the Sunday-school workers and teachers of all denomi nations, seek so gather in from the homes and the streets every little boy or girl that should be there. 2. The second mission of the school is to teach the truths of the bible. I suppose that one of the most difficult duties to perform that the teachers come in contact with, is to present the teachings of the bible to their little minds in a way that will be so simple that they can un derstand it, and in a way tnat will at tract and draw them to you, or in other words, "hold the attention" of the scholar. There are many now who hold po sitions in our school as teachers who are absolutely incapable of teaching, especially the younger scholars. Many seem to think that any kind of teacher will do for the infant class and the primary, when the truth is, ou not onlv need, but must have he very best teachers in the school for these places, if you would accom plish the most good. What we want is to "train up a child in the way that he shall go." Troin them up in the knowledge of God's word. Bring that to bear upon their little minds. Plant the germ of eternal truth deep down in their hearts while they are y oung~ and tender. Teach them to love and reverence the bible and make it their rule and guide in this life. One writer of note has said: "I am convinced more fully each year that the Sunday-school is one of the weak points in the church to-day. It catechetical teaching of scriptural truth, and in many cases have given no substitute. Many toechers pcnd the half hour in gossiping with mem bers of their respective chasses. Oi carefully prepared, svsteum::tie hible instruction there is precious little. A primary scholar was asked ou his return from Sunday-schoo.i: "What did .cwur leacher teach you to-iiny ?' 'No .n,"" was the answer, ' 'ccpt she tu '.y penny way froI ue." There is entirelv too much of idle sitting before the class, and in the place of Ic:cin, only receives the p'nice.. . A w;br mii: ' the school is to influewe Mr .- hves of the ch ildre:: e.,mitt: o.ur care. To iufluence tium i> be b)&er hoys and girl, nil in Kb i.r.te, useful men :w i w:mn We itnlence them by our u :, a':i c= nversa tion, and especiall by t:;; way that we read and siuiiv the bible in our homes, in the presence of the children. If we read it, and they see us often with the bible in haud, they will quickly learn to re ad it too, and hence the word of God becomes the power that shapes the lifc and puri ties the heart. Among the old Romans there pre vailed the custom of holding the face of every new-born babe towards the heavens, signifying by thus present ing the forehead to the stars, that it was to look above the world into ce lestial glories. It was a vain super stition, but Christianity dispels the fable and gives us a clear realization of the pagon yearning in the deep solitude which all its disciples cherish for the spiritual welfare of the young. The great design of the Sunday school organization is to turn the faces of the little children toward heaven and prepare their spirits for immortal glory. 4. It is also the mission of the Sunday-school to seek the conversion of the scholar. The teacher who has been honored with the office of teach er, and over whose shoulders hang a tremendous responsibility, that does not seek the salvation or conversion of the one he or she continually in fluences, certainly does not -accom plish the highest good. Christ, the Great Teacher, while here in the world, felt so much the importance of this work that he laid aside his office, stopped his great work of healing the sick, curing the lame, and restoring sight to the blind, and mingles in the group of merry, happy children, and lifting his hands he blessed them say ing, "Suffer little children to come unto me and forbid them not, for of such is the kingdom of Heaven. Ex cept ye become as a little child, ye shall in no wise enter into the King dom of Heaven." How glad and happy is the true loyal teacher when she sees the one she-has tried to teach and save going down into the Baptismal waters "buried with Him in Baptism." She feels that another star has been added to her crown and that inspires her on to nobler works. 5. SOME PRACTICAL THOUGHTS. Let us now, as the winter faden sin to the spring and summer, look after our "absent scholars," find them, vis it their homes, tell them that we miss them, and if possible, bring them back. And while looking after the one that has gone astray, let us seek for those that have never come. The old folks are welcome to the school. You may find that in coming you will set a good example before your chil dren, and I will promise that you will not be injured yourself. Let our teachers make as much preparation on the lesson as possible. Make what you say plain and pointed, not too long. Often we wrong our pupils by our teaching. Last quarter the average attend ance of the Baptist Sunday-school was not quite one hundred, when we should have had at least one hundred and fifty. Let us seek to make the next quarter far betteir than the past. Once there came into the Sunday school "a new scholar." The super intendent, who was quite an active, energetic brother, met the pupil, and not being familiar witb him, said: "Little man, whose class do you be long to ?" The little fellow in his simplicity said: "I belong to sister's class." "Well," continued the super intendent, "Whose class does sister belong to?" The boy replied, "She belongs to my class." "Whose class do you both belong ?" continued the superintendent. "We both belong to the same class," was the ready reply. TAKiEN IN TD1E Hlood's Sarsaparilla has achieved great success in warding off sickness which, if allowed to progress, would have under wined the whole system and given disease a strong feethold to cause much suffering and even threaten death. Hood's Sarst. parilla has done all this and even more. It has been taken in thousands of cases which were thought to be incurable, and after a fair trial has effected wonderful cures, bringing health. strength and joy to the affiicted. Another important point about Hood's Sarsaparilla is that its cures are permanent, because they start from the solid foundation of purified, vitalized and enriched blood. But it is not what we say say but what Hood's Sarsaparilla does that tells the story. R. B. LORYEA, The 'D]E.UGGIST, SIGN OF THE GOLDEN MORTAR.
