C., THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 12, 1903 One Dollar a Year||j| 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. Supreme Court Cases. The State Supreme Court is now in session and the cases from the second circuit will be called on Monday, the 30th day of November, five days being given to this circuit.

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.

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.

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. FROM SOUTH AFRICA. r 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 1 remedy is for sale by Bamberg Pharmacy, Bamberg; H. C. Rice, Denmark. - - --.v.. COUNTRY NEWS LETTERS.
