A SERIES OF EEC 'TUBES.
c
For sometime the pastor of the 8
'resbyterian church in Latta has
lovoted the prayer meeting to giv- 8
ng lecturers upon almost every con- 11
civable subject both natural and 1
itherwise. This has been done to
If
ncit interest in the prayer meet- ,
ngs without sacrificing the design j(;
>) such a service or neglecting the
nain purpose of prayer service. He "J
hlivers a brief lecture on the topic
idvertised and then draws intense- *
y spiritual lessons from those obiects.
In addition to this he com- ^
titnt;; rapidly upon the scriptures. 1
< ad. By this method the prayer ser- 1
is very diversified and is well 1
.1 tended. About ten minutes to the '
ecture and about ten minutes is used
i deducing he spiritual. We will here c
Mention a few of these subjects that i
lave been and will be presented: For s
nstance, in astronomy the subject
>*as "A world ten times the size of )ur
earth; tlio light of a world dying
'ive thousand years after tho word
,*ss dead; three millions suns with
verbis revolving about then." L^c- ?
ures on flowers and bees; migratory
?iif|s; fishes of the sea; our pil:rim
fathers; national curiosities;
he ministry of jokes and fun and :
aughter in Samson's life; the minis- >
ry of insects; national peculiarities; ?
Norway and Sweeden; gardening; e
makeg and their office; stones of the f
3ible; gates that never close; the
wonders of the rocks; the governnent
of ants; the animals of scriptire
to which our Saviour compared
ifople. Lately he lectured on butter- .
lies and from this little winged flow;r
he deduced the most Intensely
spiritual lessons. Mr. Bailey says he
vants to educate and interest people,
>ut if any one supposes that he js
;oing to neglect the spiritual that
icrson had better stay at home.
The lectures do not come every
rhursday night, but at intervals, by
i sandwiching process, are delivered
o keep up interest- The public is in/iled
to be present.

THURSDAY, MORNING, APRIL 14,
THE BIG HAM CASEThis
much to be pitied man has by
this time learned at least a part of
the old book which declares that "the
way of the transgressor is hard;" and
the meaning of that scripture which
enjoins upon us to to "so number i
our days that we may apply our
hearts unto wisdom;" has learned
that wrong will ultimately break
down under its own weight. Many
have expressed the idea that he is get
ung just what he deserves. It is true
not only of him, but of thousands
that have traveled the same beaten
Liack of lawlessness. If at one glance
ill of the criminals of our land could
see that countless multitude that
lave been punished for crimes, we
reel that it would deter many in the
commission of a like violation of law.
iYliile we pity any criminal, we must
lold to capital punishment, unless
he sentiment of justice is clean gone
>ut of us. We hold to this doctrine
)eeause the "life of those murdered
vas just as sweet as that of the murlerer
nnd in many instances sweeter;
iccause the measure of murder is
hath; because the Ilible, upon which
.ur government rests, declares that
whosover sheddeth man's blood by
nan (the State) shall his blood be
lied; because murder is not only
tilling a person, but it is a
eath blow at the government, which
3 designed to protect life; because
he only way to insure the lives of
thers is to make the penalty suficient
to inspire reverence for law; ,
ecause the execution of one crimial
prevents the commission of crime
y other criminals, in spite of the
act that people deny it. The proof
f which is scon in the laws of Eng
inu ana other countries where they
?i punish with death, .and as a conequence
have less crimes than we
ave. More murders in little South
larolina than in all England in one
ear. We believe in capital punislitent
because our great example, in
lie person of Christ, did sanction it
y saving the soul of the dying thief
ithout interfering with the justice
f law. Right here we have no space
a discuss a long theological quesion,
but we can say that God deals [
ith impenitence upon the princi- r
les of iustice, eye for eye, tootfi for L
joth, and deals with another class, p
s did Christ, upon the principles of
lercy, but in every instance, mercy p
the merciful only, justice to the p
list and death to the unjust and l
lerciless criminal- If this sad inci- r
ent was the last of the criminal l
ocords of this world's history, it C
fOUld be a different nnestinn Hut L
here are thousands ready to walk in H
is footsteps; if we had the power
r> transmute the criminal into a [
aint, i. e., to change the whole order r
f things, then might we let down t
he majesty of the law and release r
he criminal, but not until then- We *
re too prone to remember only the C
iving arid to forget the victim of
ruelty. The preservation not only f
if a lifc? is at stake, but the preser- r
ation of law and order is also, ?
"hree propositions; viz: Whatever r
uevents sin prevents misery (for ?
in is the transgression of the law) ?
nd promotes happiness. To inflict r
dequate punishment is essential to fc
cod government; and the execution r
if the law is necessary to its effl- I
acy. The execution of law is not only [
.11 expression of justice to the trans- 1
;ressor, but is an expression of mer- ^
y and love toward those who might f
ie victims of other criminals, if the r
aw is not executed*. Therefore it is
nerciful to punish crime. Merciful
sot only to the "would-be criminal."
>ut to the would-be victims of his
rime. However, we are not too
(vere toward the criminal in our
eelings; for when we take into conideration
one's early education' and
leglect of education; the environment
in which one has grown up;
he unholy examples he has had heore
him; the terrible law of "herelity"
whereby his ancestors have
lealt hard with him; take into consideration
the influences of your
mine and .the church, etc. Considering
these things we should be humdo
and thankful, but not boastful;
re should guard against similar
emptations; and in our wrath reneraber
ourselves as no better, by
lature, than the rest of humanity?
bough we may bo better by practice
>ccause of being favored above oth
rs. In our supplications we should
>ray for the preservation of law and
lalvation men's souls.

i. How About Your
Danger Zone? 1 ! jy
You've got it?every human being is born with
it?your large intestine, or colon. It is a long,
muscular tube- intended to collect food waste
and remove it from the body.
Plug it up with WwStc, neglect it, and you're sick
on your feet. The food waste stagnates, "underIgoes
decay, fermentation and germ action.
A II ...... - " * *
nuun constipation 10 occomc established, and you are liable
to become definitely and miserably sick?and not on your V
i feet either.
Pills, costor oil, laxative waters and salts only force and irri*
tate the bowels and make constipution a habit.
Nujol works on an entirely new principle,
j Instead of forcing or irritating the system, it simply softens
the food waste. Thi^ enables the many tiny muscles in the \
walls of the intestines, contracting and expanding in their
normal way, to squeeze the food waste ulong so that it passes
naturally out of the system.
, Nujol thus prevents constipation because it helps Nature
maintain easy, thorough bowel evacuation ut regular intervals
?the healthiest habit in the world.
Nujol is absolutely harmless and pleasant to take. Try it.
Nujol it told by til druM'uli in tcslcd bottles only, hearing Nujol Trade
