TO ERECT A NEW CHURCH
METHODISTS DECIDE TO BUILD A
NEW HOUSE OF WORSHIP. j
I: '
Unanimous Action Taken at Chnrcli
Conference Sunday Morning?Remarks
by Pastor and Others.
i The morning service at the Methodist
church last Sunday embraced a sermon
on the theme: " What shall I do." This
was prefaced with an allusion to Church
Conference, which was to follow immediately.
after the close of service. All
were invited to remain after service to
be present at the Conference. The sermon
was appropriate to the occasion.
CHURCH CONFERENCE.
Pastor presided; Mr. John H. Cope
secretary.
Reports were called for.
Report read showing seven new mem
bers received by certificate; one death.
Report contained a pointed comment on
the fact that the prayer meetings "Wednesdays
are not as well attended as they
should be, on the whole. "They are
mostly attended by women and girls."
The absence of males was conspicuous.
As to the absence from service, frequently,
of members of the church, there
was doubt as to whether their excuses
were valid as against endangering their
salvation. It is hoped that this view of
the matter will be taken into serious
consideration by the derelict, and that
they will not fail to be on hand regularly
and promptly hereafter.
Sunday School Superintendent H. G.
? " " * rk/v/% 1UJ .
Sheridan's report snowed zw euryucu;
19 classes. He regretted being compelled
to say that the teachers were not as
faithful as they should be, on the whole.
Every Sunday about six teachers are
absent. But it was pleasant to say that
many teachers were never absent. The
attendance of parents, as an encouragement
and as evincing their interest in
the school, was about down to 0. "I
appeal to parents to come and help us
by their presence" and "to encourage
those who are trying to do" the work.
A report on finance was supplemented
by the appointment of Dr. Bronson and
Mr. J. A. Byrd to attend to a specific
matter.
REMARKS BY THE PASTOR.
Rev. W. M. Hook: For a number of
years you have been talking of building
a church. I don't know that you have
done anything more than talk. You
have a desire for it; there is no question
about that. You realize the need, therefore
the desire. But talk must lead to
something practical?culminate in positive
action, to be serviceable.
I think it would be proper for you to
come to some decision, this morning, in
? J ~ HTKa oc
rC^ttrU IU CUC UiQbtCl JL V^uwevivu mv
to whether we are going to build or not
has been discussed not only among ourselves
but1 it has been talked about
abroad.
I think it is time we were getting ourselves
in shape to act?to act in a way
that we may get something of practical
benefit; of benefit particularly to the
young, in increasing the facilities for
efficiency of work hereafter. There is a
great deal, in obtaining success, the holding
and the spread of it, in a well
equipped church?equipped to do the
work and make it effective.*
I make no complaint as to the church
you have now; I have nothing to say as
to the present structure other than to
call your attention to the question : Is it
adapted and adequate to the expanding
work of the future?
A new church building is purely a
matter of need, in view of what we propose
to do, what we have to do, what we
can do, and the general field of work in
view. But comes another question?that
of ability. Are you able to supply wiiat
is needed ? The question is left for you
to decide.
You have now reached the point as to
whether you can go on and obtain a realization
of your desire?whether you will
make an effort to obtain practical success.
I would like to hear those interested
rise and express their views. I
have been talking to members, on the
subject, and it is clear they possess the
desire for the proposed new church, and
realize that we need it.
i I was talking with General Bamberg
this morning. He is willing to do his
part
I want to say to you solemnly here this
morning, brethren, that there is more of
importance in the proposition before you
noAono TTrtn fniiv TPftHzfi. There is
lliflll J VW4 _
a great deal in proper and necessary
equipment. The erection of a new
church building, where one is needed,
like it is here, to carry on the work in
hand vigorously and be prepared for
what is to come and that which is to do
ill the future, is not far removed from
the conversion of souls. A properly
equipped place of worship is very closely
connected with the character of the
church life. I want to say (I'm not
whining) I feel that your decision in the
? . matter of the proposition before you
affects those who are to succeed us. It
affects the children?the course they shall
pursue for good or evil; the life here,
the life beyond. Bear that in mind and
you will realize the importance of the
i
responsibility that now rests upon you
in the decision that you make. You
build not only for the present but the
future also. (In this connection he cited
the case of a church built a hundred
years ago, still standing, recently re.
paired, and yet available in preparing
old and young for the leading of good
lives here and their salvation in the life
beyond).
Let us come to some decision now?
decide to build or not to build. You
cannot build upon an ideality; there
must be a basis?a decision. You have
never built your church because you
have never decided to build it.
THE DECISION TO BUILD.
Mr. H. J. Brabliatxi: i move tnat we
build a new church.
Mr. W. D. Rhoad: I second the motion.
Dr. B. D. Bronson: I am in favor of
the motion. I have heard a great deal of
talk about building a new church. That
is about as far as we have got. We have
been big talkers and little doers. I am
ready to contribute all I can. Let us
get to work at once; talk less and do
more.
Pastor: There is nothing helps so
much as a united people in the building
of material structures.
The question: "Shall we build a new
church?" was then submitted to vote,
and decided in the affirmative, unanimously.
Member, to pastor: I call your attention
to the fact that you remained standing,
pro and con., and the question arises
was the vote unanimous?
Pastor: Yes, I remained standing each
time but my vote don't count.
MODUS OPERANDI FOR THE RAISING OF
THE MONET.
Rev. Hook: Now that you have de
cided to build a new church, it is next in
order to arrange for the obtaining of the
money with which to erect the new
building. Contributions will be solicited
and we must make provision to obtain
money in that way.
Member arose to inquire if now was
the proper time to appoint a building
committee, and a committee on contributions.
Also the subject of a design for the
new building was referred to.
Pastor Hook stated that, according to
the discipline .of the church, a building
committee must be appointed by the
quarterly conference, which meets soon.
Member: The first thing to do is to
get the funds in hand; then we can have
a building committee appointed. We
can also appoint a committee to attend
to the getting up of a design for the new
building, and to receive suggestions on
that subject.
Pastor Hook entered into an explanatory
elucidation as to how to commence
and then carry forward the work successfully,
which was received favorably,
after which conference adjourned.

CONSTIPATION.
Health is absolutely impossible if constipation
be present. Many serious cases
of liver and kidney complaint have sprung
from neglected constipation. Such a deplorable
condition is unnecessary. There
is a cure for it. Herbine will speedily
remedy matters. C. A. Lindsav, P. II.,

tried Herbine, I find it a fine medicine
for constipation." 50c bottle. Sold by Dr.

NEGRO BANK OPENS.
Institution with a Colored Woman as
President Starts Business in
Richmond, Virginia.
Richmond, Ya., November 12.?Maggie
L. Walker, a representative negro, is
president of the St. Luke Savings Bank,
which began business here to-day.
As soon as the doors were thrown
open the depositors began to crowd
in, bringing sums ranging from $1
to many hundreds, and before the time
came for closing the sum aggregated nearly
$75,000. The chances are that it will be
largely increased within the next few
weeks, as the president and officers of the
bank possess the entire confidence of their
race as well as of the white people of the
community.
A peculiar feature was the presence of
depositors belonging to the Order of St
Luke from New York, New Jersey, Maryland
and Pennsylvania. Several leading
white citizens visited the bank during the
day and spoke words of encouragement
to the promoters. The institution starts
with a capital stock of $50,000.
In Behalf of Our Hemorrhagic Fever
Section.
Editor The Bamberg Herald:?Some
time ago Col. Jiio. F. Folk wrote Gov.
Heyward regarding this particular fever,
with the hope, if I understand it, of getting
some government aid for its prevention.
The matter was referred to Dr.
Evans, secretary of the State board of
health, who attributed it to a certain kind
of mosquito, and its prevention by wire
netting, isolating the patient, and the
destruction of the insects, etc. All very
good, but it stops short of what we want.
We want to prevent the production of
the malarial poison so that the mosquito
nor the individual can get it. J
The mosquito doesn't" develop the malarial
poisoning, it is only produced by
heat, moisture and vegetable decomposition.
Therefore, if we will prevent this
process, we have no poison in the atmosphere
or soil for the mosquito to get, nor
! the individual from which the mosquito
inoculates another.
Heat we can't control, vegetation
will grow and die, but the moisture we
can by thorough drainage, and this section
certainly needs it, as it is interspersed,
with ponds.and stagnant pools for a considerable
area: Draining these thoroughly
will not only prevent tne production of
the malaria poison, but will prevent the
growth and development of the mosquito
, also. E. Kirklakd, M. D.

What Did the Privates Do?
Our dates teem with daring deeds,
And honks are filled with fame:
Brass bands will play and cannon roar
In honor of the name
Of men who held commissions, and
Were honest, brave and true;
But still the question comes to me,
What did the prirates do ?
Who were the men to guard the camp
When foes were hovering round ?
Who dug the graves of comrades dear ?
Who laid them in the ground ?
Who sent the dying message home
To those who never knew ?
If officers did all of this.
What did the privates do ?
Who were the men to fill the place.
Of comrades slain in strife ?
Who were the men to risk their own
To save a comrade's life ?
Who was it that lived on salted pork
And bread too hard to chew ?
. If officers did this alone
; What did the privates do ?
i Who laid in pits on rainy nights,
All eager for the fray ?
, Who marched beneath the scorching sun
Through many a toilsome day'?
i Who paid the sutler double price
And scanty rations drew ?
If officers got all the praise,
What did the privates do ?
All honor to the brave old boys,
> Who rallied at the call:
Without regard to name or rank?
We honor one and all.
They're passing over one by one,
And soon they'll all be gone,
To where the book will surely show,
Just what the private done.

J New Way of Using Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy.
Mr. Arthur Chapman writing from Durban,
Natal, South Africa, says: "As proof
t that Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is a
- cure for old and young, I pen you the foli
lowing: A neighbor of mine had a child
T just over two months old. It had a bad
. cough and the parents did not know what
i to give it. I suggested that if they would
get a bottle of" Chamberlain's Cough
) Remedy and put some upon the dummy
- teat the baby was sucking it would cure
, the child. This they did and brought
1 about relief and cured the baby." This
