Czolgosz is doa I and the gush and gammon with which the country was deluged recently seems to have about subsided. * * Sampson, intentionally or otherwise, managed to keep out of the nnval battle in which Schley annihilated Ccrvera's fleet, and thereby ran no risk of losing his bacon, but since then, like Sampson of Phillistine notoriety, has worked his jaw to perfection. It Commenting editorially upon the necessity of the Legislature, at its next session, taking action in the matter of the erection of a home for indigent Confederate veterans, the Rock llill Journal of Wednesday says: "Other Southern States have made provision to take care of these noble old heroes and South Carolina must not be behind." In a country where cotton sells forT1.cents per pound most people consider themselves fortunate to have one home. p "The most outrageous of all 'Southern outrages' has been committed," says an exchange. "From somewhere in 'the sparsely settled ex-Confederate section' there has come to President Roosevelt a fat 'possum labeled 'Booker Washing ton.' Evidently the white people of the States lately in rebellion are hatching a period of re-Reconstruction." A deplorablo oversight was the failure to send along with that 'possum a bng of sweet 'tatqos of the McLaurin variety. * An exchange wonders why such a comparatively small number of persons attend church. Put your enr to the ground and keep an eye open, brother, and you will learn that one reason why so many people show no interest in church work nowadnys lies in the fact that too many pulpits are filled by men who do not enjoy the confidence of the public. It may be true, in accordance with the old saying, that it takes a thief to catch a thief, but it isn't generally understood that it takes a two-fnced minister to make the word of God interesting to the average sinner.

What is the greatest hindrance to i the triumph of Christianity ? It is not tli9 barrooms; nor the dance ' ! hall; nor the gambling saloon; nor any ; of those lesser evils which some saintly j souls delight to denounce. It is the neglect of the Biblo, tho failure to regard the Word of God as tho only sword of the Holy Spirit, the adulteration of Scripture truth with the notions of men. Both the Church and the clergy are prone to teach t he tra-I | ditions of tho elders, or the telics of Paganism and Popery, or tho half I trut hs of their own denominations, sis eternal verities, and as the voice of God. As an example of such erroneous ant I injurious teaching, see the commoi I idea of pulpit and pew in regard u Satan. If you ask, "Where is Satan's home, and what is his personal upi>earanoo?" | at least nine out of ten Will reply, "llis home is in hell, and he is dark and re |iui^nu in jus jniiMiuiii uppcarilllCO. Yet the Bible teaches that bath of these answers are untrue. 1. Hell is not now the home of Satan. Yea more; it never has been; and the llihle asserts that more than one thousand years must yet pass by before Satan's foot can cross the threshold of hell. To deny this is to deny tin; testii inony of the llolv Ghost as repeatedly | given in God's Worth Six times since Adam's day, in tlio I (lid Testament is Satan seen. Where j is he found and in whose company? In the third chapter of Genesis he is I seen in Eden, the Garden of God; ami in I company with Eve, a pure and holy I woman. In the 22nd eliaptor of 1 Kings ho is i seen in heaven, in company withangels and is permitted bv the Lord todoseeud | to earth on a message of deceit. In tin* 21st chapter of 1 Chronicles he 1 is seen in the holy city of Jerusalem, and in company with David, the kingly representative of (lod on earth. In the first- and second chapters of Job he is twice seen in heaven, and both j times with the holy angels, and also j conversing with God. In the third chapter of Zccliariah lie i is again seen in the presence of Jeho| vali, and there to resist that One who is I the priestly representative of God for i man. Not one iota of the Old Testament has the slightest intimation that Satan has yet ever been even in the neighborhood of hell. Precisely the opjiosito is true, for lie is always seen either in heaven or on the earth. Does the New Testament give the slightest hint that Satan has yet over been one moment in hell? In the third chapter of Matthew ho i is seen with Jesus Christ in three places; | in the wilderness, on a mountain and j on the temple in Jerusalem. Next be is seen near Christ and with Peter, the j I leader of the apostles. Next lie is near. or in, the room whore Christ and His disciples are celebrating 'll? Passover, find he is dealing with Judas, the treasurer and only uflicial of tho chosen twelve. Next ho is seen iu a great revival, where Ananias was prominent. Then time and again was lie with Paul, so that iu 1 Thessalonians 2:18 it. is written, "Wherefore we would have come auto you, even I, Paul, ouco and again; but Satan hindered us." Neither in the Old Testament, nor in the New Testament is there one jot or title of evidence to prove that Satan has as yet ever seen a single gleam of the lurid tires of hell, or even smelt one particle of the smoke thereof. To say that lieli has been, or is now, his home, is to discount and deny the testimony of the Holy Ghost. 2. How does Satan appear? Is it with | a human form and a dark face, wreath- ! ee with sardonic smiles? Is it with > scale-like flesh, with bat-like wings, i with sharp horns and cloven feet and! forked tail? Such is his api?eurunco as constantly told in prose and poetry and picture. Our children aro shown such pictures in tho nursery, and our yout h read them in the thrilling words of Dante, Milton and John Huuyan. Doing thus trained up in the way they i should not go, when they are old they I o., i.ru- ,i.f....... ;? Hut how differently d<x>s God's Word j siH?ak. The Holy Ghost, through Paul, testifies that lu? apjx-ars a.s "an angel of light;" and by Kzekiel that ho is "porfeot in bounty." Ho is callod "tho anointed eh -rub"?not an ordinary ungol, but one oxaltod above his follows, I being anointed like kings and priests. , His moral character is hideous for ho 18 ft liar and murderer; but his mental | jxnvor is immense, and his jtorsonal apI pearance is attractive and magnetic. Thus the ideas current among us con1 corning Satan came not from the Bible. ! They came originally from Paganism; ' from that Paganism which prevailed in J Babylon, tho city built by Niuirod, tho | son of Cnsh, and the grandson of Ham. ; As ho seems to have journeyed eastward ! to reach Babylon, he may havo carried j this idea of a "black devil" (this Zerno* | bogus as ho was called) with him from j Africa. At any rate the dark hue of i Gushite is 011 it, and the fetid odor of ! the negro is in it. Ix?t us accept tho testimony of thoBiblo on this subject, and realize who Satan is; whence ho came; what is his mission; where ho dwells; and whither iiu win :ii liisr go. moil will we begin clearly to behold the glory of his grout conqueror and final judge, .Tonus Christ. For as tho shadows in a pic! turo bring out more clearly and fully the lights thereof, and thus render that i picture more perfect; so tho real character, history and doom of Satan will reveal more clearly and fully tho dij vine radiance of our King and prove tho ! infinite and eternal greatness of His salvation.
