For the Lutheran Visitor.
We Art Yet Alive!
' l>r. Rude—Dear Sir : Let me pub
lish to the church universal a alight
historical sketch of the past ami
condition, confined to the last few
years, of ber daughter church, St.
Nichols, situated in Barnwell County,
S. C., and also the result of a aeries
of meetings lately held at the above
named place.
This cbnrch—tit. Nichols—ia lo
cated in qnito»an isolated place, in
regard to tbe Ev. Lutheran Church iu
this State. In -fact, geographically
speaking, it ia situated, \u reference
to the main Lutheran Church in
Sonth Carolina; as Iceland in the
Old World to continental Europe.
And too, to make St Nichols more
retired, it is aboat nine miles dis
tant from Mount Pleaeaut Lutheran
church—onr most flourishing con
gregation in thia county—aboat two
miles beyond tbe dark rolling waters
of tbe far-famed tialtkahatcbie, sur
rounded on every baud by people of
another faith, yet some good people.
Therefore, many things to discourage
us in this gopher and rattlesnake
country.
About thirty years ago, it will
be remem herd that thia cbnrch was
in a prosperous oonditioo, bidding
fair to send out her light and troth
to all tbe earth, but ere she had
reached the zenith of ber glory, she
almost instantly fell a prey to the
ruthless band of the fell destroyer.
It was . only by her dying shrieks
that we were directed to ber atten
tion ; only in ber expiring agony that
we ran to ber rescue. For sixteen
years, from mal administration, she
has been growing cold in ber ovan-

Master's cause on the frontier can

ties and the sacrifices of the wort,
it is, seemingly, very pleasant and
gratifying to see new congregations
brought into being, and new ho nan*
of worship dedicated. Bat only he
who is instrumental in bringing this
aboat can tell what it costs. As
missionary we enter some city where
our church has no organization, *

country, consequently but little

Well, we commence—at first, at

novelty of the thing wears off, attend

the interest in this oat of the way
place—how to bring those claiming
to be Lutheran* up to the work Is
the groat difficulty. The small tram
her eogaged in the work deter some,
whilst the expenses keep others
away, and many store never come
because of indifference. Now tbe
whole of this may be attributed to a
•cant of love for the cbnrch, and this
in a great measure to a defective
knowledge of the doctrines of the
charch. For we hold that he who Is
brought up ih the Lutheran church,
having a correct understanding of

years, by ordinary effort, a oongre
gatiou could be built up. In my
travels I meet many substantial Lu
therans in other churches. I find
that they pass at par, and often at
a premium. M
Since my eutrauce iu this State, I
have organized five Y. M. C. Asso
ciations. Have a number of towns
yet to viait. Waa agreeably dis
appointed in tbe success that has
attended my efforts. I was fee
means of effecting the first organised
Christian work iu the State Univer
sity at Morgaiitowu.
At Mouudsville, I saw au old
mound, completely round, aboat fifty
feet high, aud covered wife oak aud
beach trees more thaa two feet ia
diameter. A gentleman told m
that when be was quite young, he ra
saw decayed logs of fallen trees
upon it larger thau those I saw
standing. It is certainly remarkable
for its age, and for the fact that it
was the work of man. Some time
ago a mao'dug a shaft in the centre
of the mouud down to the bottom,
aud found tbe remaius of hums*
beings about half way from the top
aud at the bottom. It was certainly
a great curiosity. On my way to
Morgantown from Fairmoont, 1 «**
another curiosity—a grape vine that
entirely covered a huge oak tree,
and the main stem of the vine, for
fifty-five feet, was one foot in <*i
a meter.
At Mouudsville, I met an old g*
demon by the name of Edwards,»
former resident of York, Pa*,
is 106 yfeus of age, and who was
baptised by a Lutheran minister ifi -
las infancy, his parents being
theraus—R. WL t*

1 Lost for Eighteen Years.—A
of laborers, while cutting a rood
through “Hang Hollows,*near Goan
ril Bluffs, Iowa, on Monday, dug up
a sack containing $12,000 in ooi»*
It was hidden 18 years ago by a to* n
named Muir, who murdered a OUR
l'onnan, and said that he had hidden
the money under a stump in tb®
Hollow, but would uot tell where*
Many persons hunted vainly for the
treasure. Tbe laborers who acc *
deutally discovered it shared it
equally.
