I hope that d iy las passed. We want no :ore aprscp,.s for Christiarity. Lzt the apel 1ies be en the part of thcse who di not believe in cur rel:.ios. We do not wean to mrake any cc.D tririse P i natter. We do nct Niba to hid the f ct that Christiard ty is reve cu.ionary ar d that its tencLcy is 'o tura the world Up side doivn. Our relijion has often bcen misrep resented as a pri:.ciple of tears and mildness and fastidiousner s. afraid of crossing people's prejudices, afraid of making somebody mad, with silken gloves lifting the people up from the church pew into glory, as though they were Botemian glass, so very delicate that with one touch it may be demol ished forever. Men speak of religion as though it were a refined imbecility, as though it were a spiritual chloro form, that the people were to take until the sharp cutting of life were over. The Bible, so far from this, represents ihe religion of Christ as ro bust and orawny-ransacking and up setting 10,000 things that now seem to be settled on firm foundations. I hear some man iu the house say, "I thought religion was peace." That is the final result. A man's arm is out of place. Two men come, and with great effort put it back to the socket. goes back with great pain. Then it goes well. Oar world is horribly disordered and out of joint. It must come under an omnipotent surgery, beneath which there will be pain and anguish before there can come perfect health and quiet. I proclaim, there fore, in the name of my Lord Jesus Christ-revolution. The religion of the Bible will make a revolution in the family. Those things that are wrong in the family circle will be overthrown by it, while justice and harmony will take the place. The hu~band will be the head of the household only when he is fit to be. I know aman who spends all the money he makes in drink as well as all the money that his wife makes, and sometimes sells the children's clothes for rum. Do ycu tell me that he is to be the head cf that household. If the wife have more nobility, more courage, more consistency, more of all that is right, she shall have the supremacy. You say that the Bible say s that the wife is to be subject to the husband. I know it, but that is a husbana, not a masculine caricature. There is no human or divine law that makes a woman subordinate to a man unworthy of her. When Christianity comes into a nomestic circle, it will give the domninancy to that one who is the most worthy of it. As religion comes in at the front door, mirth and laughter will not go out cf the back door. It will not hop ple the children's feet. John will laugh just as loud and George will jump higher than he ever did before. It will steal from the little ones neither ball nor bat nor hoop nor kite. It will establish a family altar. Angels will hovetr over it. Lidders of lighat will reacai down to it. The glory of heaven will steam upon it. The books of remembrance 'will record it, and tides of everlasting blessedness 'will pour from it. Not such a family altar as you may have seen where the prayer is long and a long chapter is read, with tedious explanation, and the exerciss keeps on until the chil dren's knees are ~sore, and the~r backs ache, and their patience is lost, and for the seventh time they have count ed all the rounds in the chair, but I mean a family altar such as may have been seen in your lather's h1ouse You may have wandered far off in the paths of sin and darkness, but you have never forgotten that family altar where father and mother knelt impor tuning God for your soul. That is a memory that a man never gets over. There will be a hearty, joy ful family altar in every domestic circle. You will not have far to go to find Hannah rearing her Samuel fcr the temple or a,;,randmother Lois instruc ting her young Timothy in the know] edge of Christ, or a Mary and Martha and Laza us gathered in fraternal and sisterly affscuocn, or a table at which Jesus sits, as at that of Z sccheus, or a home in which Jesus dwells, as in the house of Simon the tanner. The reli gion of Jesus Christ, coming into the domestic circle, will overthrow all jealousness, all janglings, and peace and order and holhness will take pos session of the home. Again, Christianity will produce a revoiu ion in ccmmnercial c'rcles. Find me 50 merchants. andl you find that they have 50 standards of what is right and wrong. You say to some one about a merchant, "Is he honest?" 'Oh, yes," the man says, --he is hon est, but he grinds the faces c i his clerks I He is honest, but he exag gerates the value of his goods. He is honest, but he loans money on bond and mortgage with the under standing that the mortgage can lie quiet for ten years, but; as soon as he gets the mortgage he records it and begins a foreclosure suit, and the sheriff's writ comes down, and the day of sale arrives, and away goes the homestead, and tte creditor buvs it in at half price." Honest? When he loaned the money, he knew that he would get the home~stead at half price. Honest? But he goes to the insurance of~ce to get a policy on his life and tells the dccior that he is well when he knows that for ten years he has had but one lung. Honest? Though he aels property by the -nap, forget tit g to tell the purchaser that _the ground is all under water, but it is generous to him to do that, for he throws the water into the bargain. I sa w in some paper an account of a church in Boston in which, it is said, there were a great many plain neople. The next week- the trustees of that church came ou~t in the paper and said it was not so at all, "they were elegant people and highly conditioned laughed outright. ard when I lauen I laugh very loue ly. 'Tbcse rec ple," I said, "are afraid of the sickly srnti mentality of the churches." Now, my ambition is not to zreach t o y ou so much. It seems to me that you must be faring sumptuously every day, and the rra!ks cf comfort are asl about you. You do not need the gs pel half as much as do some w1o never ccme here. Rther then be priding myself on a church in front of w bich there shsll halt 50 splendid equipages on the Sabbath day I wruld have a church up to whose gates therie should come a lorg procas;'n ci the suffering, and t-e stri Lkn, and t, dying, begginz for admittanco. \'u do not ineed the g-spel so mucn cs they.

But those dyig rpout:aticns of which I speak, b.' rerson of Lir want and suffering, wha-ever my oe their future destiny, are in perdain now, and if there be ary comfort Jri Christ's gospel for God's sake give it to them! Revolution! The -ride of the chu ch must come down. The e xclusiventss of the church must c'me down ! The financial boastings of the church mu~t come down! If monetary success were the chief idea of the church, t-en I say that the present node of cord u zt ing finances is the best. If it is t. se how many dollars you can pain, then the present mcde is the best. But if it is the saving of souls from sin and death and b-irgirg the mighty populations of our citits to the know! edge of God, then I cry revolto- ! It is comi3g fast. I feel it in the air. I hear the rumbling of an earthcuake that shall shake down in one terrifie crash the arrogarce of our modern Christianity. The sea is co-ered with wrcks, ara multitudes are drowning. We come cut with the church liutboat, and the people begin to clamber in, and we shout: "Stop! stop! You must thinka it costs nothing to keep a lifeboat. Those seats at the prow $1 apice, t-cese in the middle 50 ccnts and thcre sere in stern 2 sthilints. Pease to ray up else fiunder on a litile longer ill thx mission boat whose wor k is to sa e you penniless wretches shall ccme along and pi-c you up. W' isavq only first class sinners in this b at.' The talk is whether Protestant churches or Roman Catholic churchce are coming out ahead. I tell you Pro testants, this truth plainly-that until your churches are as free Fs the R man Catholic cathedrals they will beat you. In their cathedrals tie millionaire and the beggar kneel side by sIde. And until that time ctomes in our churches we cannot expect the favor of God or permanent spiritual prosperiy. Revolution! It may .: at before the church learns its duty to the mass es God will scourge it ard come with the whip of omnipotent indignatic'n and drive cut the money chargers. [t may be that there is to be a great day of upsetting before that Lime shall ome. If it must came, 0 Lord God let it come now! In that future day of the reconstruct !d church of Christ the church build ing will be the most cheerful of all buildings. Instead of the 1ght of tbe un strained through painted glass un dl an intelligent auditoiy looks greea mnd blue and yellow and copper co!r d, we will have no such things. The pure atmosphere of heaven will s weep aut the fetid atmosphere that has been kept in many of our churches boxed ap from Sunday to Sunday. The day of which I speak will be a lay of great revivals. There will be such a time as there was in tbe r arish >f Shotts, where 5C0 souls were born ; God in one day-such tims as were seen in this country when Edwards rave the alarm, when Tennent preach d, and Whitfield thundtered, and E~iward Payson prayed ; such times as some of you remember in 1857, when he voice of prayer and praise was seard in theater and warehouse an d lack smith shop and factory and ea ine house, and the auctioneer's cry f "a half, and a half, and a balf," was drowned out by the adjoiuing prayer meeting, in which the people ried out, "Men and brethren, what hall we dof' In those days of which I am speak ng the services of the church ot God will be more spirited. The ministers >f Christ, instead of being anxious ibout whether they are going to lcse heir place in their notes, witl get on re with the theme and our the liv ng truth of God upon an aroused mdiory, crying out to the righteous, "It shall be well with you," and to he wicged: "Woe! It shall be ill with you." In those days the singing will be very different from what it is row. The music will weep and wail md chant and triumph. People then will not be afraid to open their mouths when they sing. The man with a racked voice will risk it on "Wina 2am" and "Ortonville" and "Old .undred." Grandfather will find the lasc3 for his grandchild in the hymn ook, or the litte child will be specta les for the grandfather. Hosanna will meet hosanna and together go :imbing to the throne, and the angels will hear, and God will listen, and the ates of heaven will hoist, and it wi2 ye as when two seas meet-the wave >f earthly song mingling with the urging anthems of the free. Oh, my God, let me live to see that lay Let there be nio power in dise ase yr accident or wave of the sea to dis ppoint my expectations. Let all yther sight fail my eyes rather than hat I should miss that vision. Let 1l other sounds fail my ( a-s rather than that I should fail to hear that sound. I want to stand on the mas ain top to catch the first ray of the law ar~d with fiying feet bring the news. And, oh, when we hear th'e :iattering hoofs that bring on the Eing's chariot may we all be ready, with arches sprung and with hand o2 the rope of the bell that is to sound the victory, and with wreaths all twisted for the way, and when Juus iismounts let it be amid the huzza: huzzs! of a world redeemed. Ah, my friends, there is but one standard of the everlasting right a ad of the everlasting wrong, and th.at is the Bible and when that principle shall get its upon our com-nerciai houses I believe that one half of 11 emt will go over! The ruin will brgin at one end cf the street and it will be crash ! crash ! crash all the way dos~ to the docks. "What is the mat 'er: Has there been a fail in gold, 'nh. no. "Has there been a new taritii' "No." "Has there been a failure in crops?" "No." "Has there been an unaccountable panic ?" --No." Tnis is the secret: The Lord God has set up his throne of jadgment in the ex change. He has summoned the righte ous and the wicktd mo ecme befcre him. What was 1637: A day o' judgment: What was 1857? A da of judgment!

You would say, *'O' course defeat must come in that c ise." It is worse than tbat in the church. Millions of the professe d soldiers of Je sus OJbrist are cooking rations or aslep in their tents, while oniv one man here and there oes cut to do hattle for the Lord.

The following is the weekly bulletin of the c3ndition cf the weather and crops of the Stat, as issutd Tu sdsv from the United S'ates weather 1u reau here: The week opened with sta-onable warmth, but by the middle si the week the temperature fell to almcst fretz'ng over the centrai counties. Ice was, indeed, reported, from varicus points and as far southward ss Hamp ton a.d Brnwelil counties, with heavy white iost on the morning of April 28 h over the Stite generally, includ ing the vicinity of Charleston. Oa that morning the temperature was as low, or lower, than the previous re cords of the weather bureau, extend ing over a period of 11 years, show for the third decade of April. The cold weather did not last lona and the week ended with temperatures conideratly above the normal, The average of 48 places reporting mean temperature was 58 for the week while the normal for the same period is approximately 68. The temperature ranged between a minimum of 34 on the 28th at 3a. tue and Little Moun tain and a maximum of 90 on May 1st at Batesburg. The cold, heavy rain c f A ril 2,. 27th was general over the S'ate, and in places accompanied by high wids, sleet and hail. In the southeastern portions of the State the rain was needed, and in the vicinity of Char leston more woula prove beneticial, but generally this rain fell on an already saturated soil, causing minorI creeks and brarches to overflwv. and, in Edgefield county damaging land, washing them. Considering the area and typographical diversity of the State, tbe rainfall was re'arkable :or even distribution. 7our places only, I cut of 47, reported amounts of less, than one inch; 12 o. from 1 to 2 ines 1.9 of from 2 to 3 in hes; and 12 with 3 irches or more. he following ex cessive measurments were reported: Mont Clare 4 0(', Oakland 5 25; Alcolu 5 50, Shiloh -.25ineaes. The average for the State was '437 and the normal for the Eame penlcd is approximately 0.78. The sunshine averaged 74 per cent. of the posible. The prevailing winds were from northwest to northeast generally cold and at times high and were an important factor in making the weather unfavorable on crops. Al! correspondents, without excep tion, characterize the past week as having been unfavorable on the growth of crops, by reason of too much rain or too low temperatures or both as the bad effects of nigh winds in plsces. Little progretss was made in planting corn and 2ermination of recently p!ar ted corn is slow. It is cominz up to irregular stands, although some sections report fair stands. Much re planting is necessary and worms are damaging corn badly in places. The cool weather caused it to look yellow and checked its growth. Eatly corn is receiving its second cultivation. Some bottom lands have been planted, but the recent rains made them too' wet, and stopped planting operations on them. The recent frost did not ki 1 any corn. Rice seeding is practically completed for early planting, but the cool weath er injured the stant and vitality of the young plants which was made dur ing the week. Transplanting of tobacco is nearly finished in the more southerly dis tricts and is well under way in Marion and Marlboro counties. The ground is in good condition in regard to mois ture, but too cool for the y oung plants. Ir jury from cat worms is also report e:1. Melons were killed by the frost of the 28th, in places, and badly se: back everywhere. The reports indicate a very poor stand of melons and point to a late crop. The fruit outlook is on the whole very promising, a few localities only report total destruction by the frost im early April, while a few scattered re ports indicate that peaches and pou? are dropping badly. The frost of the week did no injury to fruit First crop f figs evidently destroyed. Heavy shipments of strawberries from Fior ence, Marion, Darlington and Marl boro counties were made this week. Oats continue to look promising, ex ept in Jeffries Creek secetion, where they are a failure Wheat is healing and growing nicely, although some - what yellowed by the cool weather. Pastures have improved rapidly. Gar - ens are later than usual, but are yielding early vegetables enough to supply local demands over the wrhole State.- Farm work is well up to the requirements of the various crops. J. W. Bauer, Station Director, Columbia, S. U. what It COins. The battleships of modern times are a necessity to ang great nations which intends to mraintain its rights and pro tect its interests but their ccst heavy. An outlay of something like $5 000, 00is required to construct and equip a ship which would take high rana in ay modern navy. A fter such a ship is coamplete the ex pense of main tainicg it is very beavy. ['is item for each of our big battle ships is now about $1,500 a day even when they do 'no firing. The daily ~xpenses of our navy are now over $50,000 a day. The total annual expenses or a first eass battleship are es'.imated at $517, C00, divided as follows: Pay of oflicers,cree and marines... -.3 u00 Ratins....................- ... 45 0001 Euitment......................12 0000 N :vigation charges................. .. 000 rdnance........................S... 18 00 Construction and repair::............ 18 000~ Steam eng ineering............... 32 . General supplies................... 14 00 Medicine, surgery, secretary's om ee and incidental expenses............ 75 00C The cist of ammnunition used during an engagement is immerse but it is of course impossible to estimate this in calcul-sting the expense of a navy. Repairs t> warships, cruisers a-sd other craft even in time of peace is large, but after every engagement it is necessarily immense, even for the victor.

At the erd of one of them is a small fort. aLd a light house is situated at tl e end of the other pier. Ws-els of snill tornrge can go up as far as the bridge whict crosses the riv:r. The town stards on the south side, has a dilapidated look, but is said to be strongly fortifd.

Beyond the Eicalta is a colony o' Chinese, Indians and half cstes. who do busiuess a3 goldsmiths atnd j -m l ers, painters and enameilers, on and soap merchants confectioners ,nd keepers of gambling houses and cock shops. The other suburbs have each a special character. For instance, San Ferando is the seat of the great cigar manufaccries, and Santo Mesa is the centre of t. e cordage manufac tor5. At the Alcicerfa suburb the Cinese sampans discharge their car ges; the fishermen and weavers in: niabit the subab of Tondo, and its gardens supply the markets pith fru~t for its embroderies.

In 163 oongress paesd a bill, which was at promi bv ihe president, rt qiring all rai'r a-ds ergaged in interestate cormn erce to adopt safety brakes and c upe-s. Five y eats was the time al owed for compliance with this law. T'bis limit exp-red on the first of last January. 0.ly a few rai:roads had at that time complie d with the pro visions of the act. Many of them bad dne almost nothing toward aqiip ping their cars and engines in accor dance with the requirements of the statute. The delirquent cimparies athed for an extension of five years, but this was rerust d. The commis sicn rid, however, agree to give them to years longer, but warned them that if they did not comply with the la w within that time the penalties prescribed would be enforced. On the drst of January, 1893, only fort3 - two railroad comfanies came up to the r(quirement of the act, whiie 483 companies were delirquent. Noerty five per cent of all the lcco M. tives in use had been provided with proper appliarces, but tt ey had been p'aced upon comparat vely few freight cars. The comission's reprt gives the statistics of the killed and wound ed ia railroad accidents during the past five years as follows: KolDed.

Toe wrst percentage of accidents was in e c-ntral western, the southi Atlantic a&d he middle southern states. For all thiese secins tie stAtistics are startiing. For tte ce!tral western stat' s the number of railroad employ ,s kiiltd and injured during five 5e.rs was one-fourth of the entire num br-r emplo3 ed. In the Scu'h At antiu tates tbe loss was even heavier, btirg 26 per cent and in the central s utthern states it was worst of all, risirg to 28 per cent. The Atlanta Juurnal very truly says these figures -re awful to contemplate. Many of there fatali i -s and injuries could have been av. r ed if the railroads had pro vided their trains with the test safety a pplianc~s.
