Is Antus.ivitt utben Makes lor I so ' in Walterboro. * Dear Editor: One of the amazing things of the age is that so many •eople who otherwise seem intelli gent go to smash in the application of .religjgus principles to everyday affairs, such as professional ethics, business, politics, etc., and not find in it the answers to W’alterboro questions as well as Bethany, to the twentieth century (roubles as well as first century troubles. In their church they raise a cheer ful voice and sing lustily. "Just as'1 *n without one plea." or 4 T need Thee everv hour.” but the needful thing outside seems to me to come nnder a different cover and a differ ent brand, on the mistaken theorv that the rolrif does not speak the Ivngiiag'' of actual life. Primitive the frankest, artificial things seen. H> r-traight. plain roads it went to its plain purpose. In making men ('hristiaus it never sought to un make them as men. It was to get him to ris* to a responsibility which was his in ar>v case. True religion should he and is in harmony with the principles of right. It. is not a question of option, local or other wise; it is no* " o"o«tion of maioe- • ies. but of right and wrong. Gov- ’•eniem is founded on this princi- ' and civilization grows therefrom. And. if the people refuse to be gov erned by right principles, their gov ernment ceases, anarchv supervenes, ami law* and order, safety and pro tection are gone, ami shotguns are resorted to to protect life and home. It will b«> a sad day for this coun try when patriotism and religion are divorced. A Christian, whether he he a preacher or layman, can say in the words of a Roman. “I am a man end I deem nothing .common to men foreign to me.” Too 4 many people | thi^ik the pulpit has* no concern ! • ith the ballot box ami that politics • has six days for its wot*:, while the j "preaching of the simple Gospel” is all religion has to he responsible for j and this only between Saturdav and Mondav. But'giving a proper inter- •>re»ttion of politics, conceiving it *o be the science of obtaining the noblest ends of civil society in the mod effective manner, wnen a moral question is in debate, .the Christian, whether in pulpit or pew, dare not be silent or neutral. He cannot but speak the things that he has heard and seen. 1 The purpose of God *n Jesus Christ is to redeem the world as well ns to prepare men for another world. There are clouds in the sky, perils surroumDog us. cankers to be clean-^f- ed out, drunkard making and de bauchery going on apparentlv un-, checked; the lawless abrogate all laws in the linuor ouesflon. take ’’srge of the community In the face of Christian sentiment, and run tbelr nefarious business in defiance of ev ery principle of right. This work of cleaning will not be done by the par- politician. It must be done by the men and women with a passion for righteousness and zealo.us in ev- ervthing that makes for the advance ment of our homes and the commu nity. With a do-nothing policy be hind us, has not the time arrived to abandon our "policy of watchful waiting” and strike a blow' for coun try, for home and for God? Is there not a cal) for the men who would render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s. Also to render unto God the things that are God’s? For several weeks our. town has been having a feast of spiritual and wholesome advice W’ill it fall on deaf ears and make no more impres sion than the noise of a passing breeze? manv From tent, platform and pulpit. | D | e * e God’s word has been proclaimed p with power, hut unless the'influence is abiding, without it has left us bet ter men and women: without it has helped to kbv our souls to the spirit and faith of the Master whom we profess to follow; without it has made us disgusted with known con ditions about us. then like the imme diate action of all stimulants, all this church going and preaching will be only for the time beneficial. Citizens of Walterboro, don’t for get the great and inspiring sermons that we have recently heard: how eloquently and • aruestly this gifted man of God held up to us the sweet est graces, the purest Joys and the loftiest aspirations of life, and plead ed for their emulation and pursuit. His work here will not bbjn vain if we earnestly resolve to make a per sonal and practical application of the principles he portrayed: principles that would be be beautifully illus trated and aptly applied If. when on the 5th of May, in our municipal af- turn over a new leaf. .
