Sermon Sumlay Night. ^.Lshop Russell preached Sunday night to a crowded church, making rn eloquent presentation of the mining and work designed to b? done by the apostles when they were .commanded hy Christ to go nnd teach all nations. He said that "the Catholic church had followed the commands of the Master and that the sun never sets on the sac rifice of mass, hut that the Catho lics daily and all the time encircle 0* earth following the sun in h»s coarse wfth this holv- rite, of the church, "from the rising of the sun to the going down of fhe same.” The command to the apostles was tn go teach all nations, all things whatsoever the Lord h*»! command- •h! them to teach. Tlrls doubtless ro-ant that the teaching was to be d<vie by word of month, as there t* nothing to show that Christ ever wrote anything, except in the sand when the accusers of the woman stood by. so He evidently meant thr.t they should teach as he taught. valid before s/e went weeks’ trekpm-nt anti six weeks sfte lias improved fully ante seems on a good permanent recovery. ,\y of which fills/fTie hearts of all the - family* so fiijr of jo^ until we never know y^hen we have sifid enough in praise of the excellent management of the infirmary Dr. Kslhun * afiil th good physicians of Walterboro and thrnughoutrthe county, who are cn operating with him to 'make the Clara EsDorn Infirmary a success.
