That was a glorious development of
the divine philanthropy that was made
in the first great commission In which
( hrist said to His aimstles, “Go ye into
all the world and preach the Gpspel to
every creature.” Such a conception of
the grace of God had never before ent
ered into the mind of any man, whether
of the* Jews or pentllc*. True, indeed;
the Jews were greatly in advance of the
Gentiles with respect to their knowl
edge of divine things. They had the
Scriptures of the Old Testament, in
which the Gospel was both typically
and prophetically regaled. David and
Isaiah had often spoken of the humliia-
tusn, sufferings, exaltation, and trium
phant and universal reign of the Mes
siah. But the Jews were never able to
rise to a just, clear, and full conception
of the spiritual import of these prophe
cies. They never once Imagined that
God so loved the world that he had in
purpose given his only begotten son
that whosoovepfhelieved in ilitn should
never pcrifcltr fhey never supposed that
the GentileK were to b© made fello^jv-
citizens with themselves In the king
dom of heaven, and that the Messiah
was about to unite inone glorious broth
erhood all the familiesof this sin-stained
earth. They looked upon the coming
Messiah simply as the great apostle and
advocate of Judaism, who was about to
deliver them out of the hand of thefr
fettmtitnui;
The Kansas House of Representatives
passed a bill on ^Saturday by a unani
mous vote removing political disability
from all persons who volunteered their
services against the government in the
late war between the States. This new
law is intended to do away with the
provision of the .State constitution
which debars- Confederate volunteers
from the right to vote «or hold office.
The war is over Ln the West at last. •
Two leading figures of the Federal
forces during the late war between the
btales died last week, Admiral Porter,
in Washingtou, of fatty degeneration of
the heart, and Gen. William Tecumseh
hherman, in New' York, of erysipelas
complicated with pneumonia and a
bronchial trouble. This month twenty-
six years ago Gen. Mherman’s troops
passed through Udasectioaol the State
marking the line of their march with
barbarous burnings. To-day is, we be
lieve, the anniversary of tiie destruction
of Columbia, and to-day Gen. Shermau
is to be buried In St. J*ouU.*
Kx-Presldent Grover Cleveland crea
ted a profound political sensation last
week by the publication of a letter tak
ing strong ground against the free coin
age of sliver and predicting dire finan
cial disasters if such a measure should
be made law. On this question Mr.
Cleveland is not in sympathy with the
Democratic party. In the last test-vote
in Congress the Democratic vote stood
110 in favor of and 7 against free ooin-
sge.
It la the belief of a great many people
that Mr. Cleveland would have been
triumphantly re-elected in 18HH if he
had not sent his unfortunate message to
Congress taking roo advanced ground
In favor of tariff reform. Then it w as
late for the party to drop him aud
•elect another standard bearer. Since
dial disastrous defeat his friends have
been diligently booming his candidacy
for 1M9J and up to the publication of
tills last letter he w as no doubt the first
choice of a large majority of the party.
Many good judges think he has effec
tually killed hiM ciutnces for the next
nomination, for the people have set their
hearts upon free coinage as the best
remedy for the hard tin.es that arre con
tinually growing worse. Still there are
many months before the meeting of the
next National convention and the po
litical changes possible in that time may
put ititn oa top of the tide of popular
favor again.
We shall see w'hat we shall see.
Important to the Medical Fraternity.
The Legislature aUthe last session
passed an Act requiring those desiring
to practice medicine iu any of the coun
ties in this'State to present their diplo
mas, together w ith a certitiaate of their
moral character, to a County Board of
Physicians. The board to examine the
diplomas to see that they, are from a
reputable medical college, that the hol
der is the bona fide holder, and upon
the certificate given by the board the
diploma is to be registered by the
Clerks of Court in the respective coun
ties. These boards are to be appointed
by the Governor upon the recommen
dation of county medical societies, and
where there are no societies to be re
commended by tiie Senator and Repre
sentatives from each county, and are to
consist each of three physicians.
The- Governor is anxious to appoint
these boards, and requests that tne
names be sent forward from the dift'er-
eut counties. This Act repeals the Act
appointing a State Board.
Quite a romantic affair was brought
to light recently in Florence county. J.
F. Hawley, a North Carolina married
man, went to Darlington county some
years ago, leaving a w ife behind him,
and there married a Miss Ella Huggins.
He soon deserted her and went to Geor
gia where he married a third time. He-
was convicted of bigamy and served a
term of three years there. His North
Carolina wife died and his Georgia wife
got a divorce. He has now remarried
his South Carolina w ife aud is living
near Florence, apparently being very
happy.

Jerusalem to the ends of the world; and
such were, to some extent and for a lim
ited time, the. prejudices of even the
twelve apostles to whom was given the
first great commission, Go ye into all
the world. With them “all the world”
meant all the Jewish world, and “every
creature” meant every-lsraeiite accord
ing to the flesh, and hence for several
years after tiie coronation of the Mes-
rah salvation was offered to no Gentile.
But the.vision of Peter completely re
moved this prejudice from his mind.
He then for tiie first time in ids life dis
covered the soul-inspiring truth “That
God is no respecter of persons.” This
was enough for Peter and 'the rest of
the apostles, and.with a degree of moral
heroism and seH-sacriflce they went
from city to city and from country to
country preaching tile gospel to £very
kindred aud people. Their only apolo
gy t»» their revilers was, “The love of
-Christ constraineth us;” hence their en
ergy, devotion, and their success. But
it w as never the purpose of (rod that
this work should be done wholly and
exclusively by thoapostles. As Ohris-.
tianity was provided for all, so also it
was designed to make every disciple of
Christ an instrument for good; hence
the apostils ordained elders and dea
cons in every church, aud to-them-was
committed the moral and religious «dtt-
cation of the churches, it was made
the duty of the elder* especially to call
into active service ail the talents and
energies and resource#of said churches.
This w as the divine order, which by (lie
grace of God was established in all the
primitive churches, if under the ad
ministration of the apostles tiie primi
tive Christians all labored for the spread
and tiie success of the gospel, then sure
ly we also should labor together for
the same glorious ends and purposes.
But it may be adted, is ever* disciple
required to become a missionary of the
Cross, and that he shall go into all the
world and preach the gospel to every
c enture* Certainly not. For all such
labors lie may be disqualified; but it U
evidently required that every man w ho
has the necessary qualifleattens should,
as far a* possible, devote his w hole time
to the ministry of the word; and hence
you perceive that there Is here made
the most iwuple provision for fllling up
the ranks of the Christian ministry,
and w hat a mighty host of devoted mis
sionaries would even now be holding
forth the words of life to the dying mil
lions of our race.
Ho long as it Is written, “Eethlm that
Is taught in tiie word communicate unto
him that teacheth in all good things.”
so long will every consistent disciple of
Christ feel that a solemn obligation
rests upon him to contribute liberally
id his mean* for the support and com
fort of those who are able and willing
to go forth into*11 the world and preach
the g6s|>el to every creature, it is an
old Latin maxim, sustained by the au
thority of our best legal writers, aud
even by that of the Holy. Spirit, that
•‘What a man does by an agent he does
by himself,” and hence by our co-ope
rative agency we can say in tills w ay to
all the iini>enitent and disobedient in
our own beloved State, “Cbine to the
Saviour. You have a Father in heaven
who pities you; who loves you, and w ho
has even sent ids ow n dear ami beloved
son to redeem you ” / nd oh! who that
has a heart to feel for the wants and
woes of humanity wouhlnot gl«ry and
rejoice in such a privilege? Wbourould
not spend and be spent in sustaining
such a work of faitli and labor of love?
“Brethren, will you do it? Are you
willing and ready at any sacrifice to
send to the perishing millions of our
race that blessed gospel which has tilled
our hearts with peace aud ioy and love,
and that still cheer* and illuminates
our pathway; that shines along the
heavenly road; that leads us to the
blessed abode? Brethren, what say
you? What would fho glorious pio
neers arid fathers of the current refor
mation say if they were present and al
lowed to take part in our deliberations?
Though ' dead they speak; What we
want, then, is united, systematic, and
co-operative action on the part of ail
the members of the church. Let all be
usefully employed in some way. It is
better, far better, to serve the church in
any w ay than to be at ease in Zion. Let
evangelists, and elders, ami deacons,
then, and all others in authority and in
fluence, see to it that all disciples of
Christ.are doing something for his
cause; that the old and the young, the
rich and the poor, the male and the fe
male,-are all individually and unitedly
employed in whatever sphere they can
labpr most appropriately and success
fully for the edification of the church
and the conversion of the world. Let
this be done, and then our prayer meet
ings and all our other meetings for re
ligious purposes will be better attended

We respectfully suggest that the sub-
AHianoes of this county begin now the
discussion of the proper acreage to be
devoted to cotton culture this year.
Last September as compared w ith the
year before there was a surplus of 234,-
000 bales. Since that" date the receipts
have been 375,000 bales over the receipts
for the same time lhe-'p rev i (K * 8 year,
and some writers say that the crop of
1800, when all In, will be a million bales
If the great increase in yield through
scientific cultivation and the skillful
and intelligent use of fertilizers contin
ues the crop will be too large for the
uses of the world unless there Is a quick
and rapid reduction in the acreage and
prices will go far below’ present quota
tions.
Will it not be wiser to reduce produc
tion by concerted action and give more
attention to food crops, so that the cot
ton crop of tiie South may be a surplus
one aud its growers be able, to hold it
until the capitalists and consumers are
forced to pay a price that will give a
fair profit to the tollers who make the
great staple that clothes the world ? _

A goodly number of the citizens of
Barnwell and frienda of education met
at theOpera House on last Friday night.
The meetitjg was held under the aus
pices of the County Teachers’ Associa
tion.
The meeting was presided over by
Mr. A.T. Woodward and the first speak
er introduced w as Rev. R. W. Lidc, of
Barnwell.
His subject was the “Relationship be
tween Education and Religion.” He
said that the word “education” comes
from two Latin words, “e” and “dueo,”
meaning to draw out; that the idea of
education is not to “cram” tiie mind of
the child but to draw- out, tp develop
his powers and faculties. He stated
that education is the handmaid of Chris
tianity, that wherever the missionary
has gone there schools have also gone.
All ( hristian people should be inter
ested in education; that an educated
man makes a better Christian, a better
citizen, and a better member of society.
Mr. Lide was followed by Rev. I). W.
Key, of Williston. His subject was
“Tiie Import of Education.”
He said that education meant the de
velopment of the whole man, of his in
tellect, sensibilities andwiill; that ma
ny people developed their physical na
tures at til*.expense of the intellect and
were thus one-sided in their develop
ment. He stated that the child was an
investigator, a Al^cgrerer, and that
finally he was a eonlfHeiW. The great
lesson of self-control was the important
lesson learhfrtLat school.
The very existence of policemen and
of courts of justice prove that men have
not learned the lessons of self-control.
^ Parentsare^iinder obligations to make
sacrifices to give their children an edu
cation and “lay up treasure in heaven
where moth nor rust doth not corrupt
nor thieves break through and steal.”
That many a boy w'ould be fired with a
desire for knowledge if. he knew his
mother or father were striving and sac
rificing to give him an education.
Everybody went Rway feeling that
they had been amply repaid for cpming
out. More of Such meetings should be
held, not only iri Barnwell but in every
community in Barnwell county.
The regular business meeting of the
Association was held at the Graded
School building on Saturday at 1 i a. m.
It is gratifying to know that Several
teachers •nrolled themselves as mem
bers and several friends of education
enrolled themselves also asJ'Honofary
members.” School Commissioner Kirk
land was present throughout the meet
ing and gave us his hearty eo-oper^i-
tlen. / ^
Let the good work continue until
every teacher in Barnwell county sl/all
have joined us.
Although our Bamberg members
were not present yet by a previous in
vitation it was decided to meet at that
place March 13th and 14th.
The committee on program will please
reppil as soon as possible.
