Bishop of South Carolina, made hie
Annual visitation to the Church of the .
Holy Apostles on Sunday, preaching an
excellent sermon at the morning ser

was, “If ye love me,keep my command
ments.” He illustrated his text with
stories from the Old and New Testa
ments and laid stress on man’s fonr
reasons for embracing religion The
first of these, he said, is fear, which
was inspired by Jehovah in the infancy
of the human race to enforce obedience
to his commands. The second ia the
hope of reward; the third, a sense of
duty, and the last and greatest of all,
ove.
The Bishop paid a well deserved trib
ute to the Rev. A: E. Evisoo, the

bringing to a successful culmination
the plana for the erection of the hand
some new rectory in Barnwell. It witt
stand, he said, as a monument to Mr.
Evison'a untiring efforts for the mate
rial as well as the. spiritual advance
ment of the parish.
Bishop Guerry was given the undi
vided attention of bis congregation and
at the close of his sermon extended •
