Delicate Subject.
SECTARIAN DIFFERENCES.

Prospects.
In this sermon I>r. Taltuago discusses
a topic which will interest domestic
circles everywhere. The text istlenesis
xiii, 8: "Let there be no strife, 1
pray thee, between me and thee, and
between my herdmen and thy herdmnn
1 ti f Itn \ir ltnln lo n/j 1.<T

thee?"
Uncle and nephew, Abrnui and Lot,
both pious, both millionaires, and with
such large tloeksof bleating sheep and
lowing cattle that their hcrdinen got
into a tight, perhaps about the best
pasture, or about the best water privilege,
or because the cow of one got
hooked by the horns of the other. Not
their poverty of opportunity, but their
wealth, was the cause of controversy
betweon these two men. To Abratn,
the glorious old Mesopotamia!) sheik,
such controversy seemed absurd. It
was like two ships quarreling for sea
room in tho middle of the Atlantic
ocean. There was a vast reach of country,
cornfields, vineyards, harvests and
plenty of room in illimitable acreage.
"Now," says Abram, "let us agreo to
differ. Here are the mountain districts
swept by the tonic of sea breeze and
with wide reaching prospect, and there
is the plain of Jordan, with tropical
luxurianco. You may have either."
Lot, who was not as rich as Abram and
might have been expected to take the
second choice, made the first selection,
and with a modesty that must have
made Abram smile said to him:
"You may have the rocks and tho
fine prospect, 1 will take the valley of
the Jordan, with all its luxuriance of
cornfields, and the river to water the
flocks, and the gonial climate, and the
wealth immeasurable." So thecontroversy
was forever settled, and great
souled Abram carried out tho suggestion
of the text: "Let there be no
i Ait.
niruu, i pray inec, net ween mc and
thee, and between my hcrdmen and thy
hcrdinen. Is not the whole land before
thee?"
Well, in this, the last decade of the
nineteenth century, and in this beautiful
land, which was called America,
after Amcricus Vespucius, but should
have been called Columbia, after its
discoverer, Columbus, we have a wealth
of religious privilege and opportunity
that is positively bewildering?churches
of all Borts of creeds, and of all kinds
of government, and all forms of worship,
and all styles of architecture.
What opulence of ecclesiastical opportunity!
Now, while in desolate region^
there may be only one church, in the
opulent districts of this country there is
such a profusion that there ought to be
no difficulty in making a selection. No
fight about vestments, or between litur
gical or nonsurgical adherents, or as
to baptismal inodeB. or a handful of
water as compared with a rivcrful. If
Abram prefers to dwell on the heights,
where he can only get a sprinkling from
the clouds, let him consent that Lot
have all the .Jordan in which to immerse
himself. "Let there be no
strife, 1 pray thee, between me and
thee, and between my hcrdmen and tby
herdmen. Is not the whole land beforo
thee?"
Especially is it fortunate when families
allow angry discussion at the breakfast
or dinner or tea table as to which
is the best church or denomination, one
at one end of the table saying be could
never endure the rigid doctrines of
Presbyterianism, one at the other end
responding that s .c never could stand
the forms of Episcopacy, and one at
one side of the table saying he did not
understand how anybody could bear the
noise in the Methodist church, and
another declaring all the Baptist bigots.
There arc hundreds of families
hopelessly split on ccolcsiasticism, and
in the middle of every discussion on
such subjects there is a kindling of indignation,
and it needs some old father
Abram to come and put his foot on the
loaded fuse before the explosion takes
place and say; "Let there bo no strife
1 pray thee, between me and theo,
and between my hcrdmcn and thy
hcrdmen. Is not the whole land before
thee?"
I undertake a subject never undertaken
by any other pulpit, for it is an exceedingly
delicate subject, and if not
rightly handled might give serious offense,
but I approach it without the
slightest trepidation, for 1 am sure I
have the divine direction in the matters
T proposo to present. It is a tremendous
question, asked all over Christendom,
often asked with tears and sobs
and heart breaks and involving the
peace of families, the eternal happiness
of many souls. In matters of church
attendance should the wife go with the
husband or the husband go with tho
wife?
First, remember that all the evangelical
churches have enough truth in them
to save tho soul and prepare us for happiness
on earth and in heaven. I will go
with you into any well selected theological
library, and I will show you sermons
from ministers in all denominations
that set forth man as a sinner and
Christ as a aeliv^rnr fmm a!r. ??--l
v.v. *mviu diu aim nui"
row. That is the whole gospel. Get
that into your soul, and you arc fitted
for the here and the hereafter. There
are differences, we admit, and somo denominations
we like better than others.
But supposo three or four of us make
solemn agreement to meet each on important
business, and one goes by the
New York Central railroad, another by
the Erie railroad, another by tho Pennsylvania
railroad, another by tho Baltimore
and Ohio railroad. One goes
this way because the mountains arc
grander, another takes this because the
cars are more luxurious, another that
because tho speed is greater, another
takes the other because he has long
been accustomed to that route and all
the employeos are familiar. So far as
our engagement to meet is concerned it
makes no difference if we only get there.
Now, any one of the innumerable evangelical
denominations, if you practice
its teaching although some of their
*
trains run on a brjad gauge anil some
on a narrow gauge, will bring you out
at tho city oi tho Now Jorusalom.
It boing evident that you will be safe
in any of tho evangelical denominations,
L proceed to remark, first, if one of tho
married couplo bo a Christian and the
other not, tho one a Christian is bound
to go anywhere to a church whore the
unconverted companion is willing-to go,
if ho or she will go to no other. You
of the connubial partnership aro a
Christian. You are safe for tho skies.
Then it is your first duty to secure the
eternal safety of your lifetime associate.
Is not the everlasting welfare of your
wife impenitent of your husband imponitcntmoro
iuiportan than your church relationship?
Is not the condition of
your companion for the next quadrillion
of years a mightier consideration to
you than the gratification of yourccclesiastical
taste lor forty or 50 years. A
man or a woman who would stop half a
minute to weigh preferences as to
whether lie or she had better go with
mc unconverted com) anion to this or
that church or denomination has no re
ligion at all and never has had, and I
fear never will havo. You arc loaded
U|. with what you suppose to be rclig
ion, but you arc like Captain Frobish
er, who brought hack from his voyage
of discovery a shipload of what he supposed
valuable minerals, yet instead of
being silver or gold, were nothing but
common stones of tho field, to he hurl
cd out as finally useless.
Mighty Cod. in all thy realm is there
one man or woman professing rcligign,
yet so stolid, so unfitted, so far gone
unto death that there would he any
hesitancy in surrendering all preferences
before such an opportunity of salvation
and heavenly reunion? If you,
a Christian wife, are an attendant upon
any church and your unconverted husband
does not go there hecauso he does
not like its preacher, or its music, or
its architecture, or its uncomfortable
crowding, and goes not to any house of
worship, hut would go if you would accompany
him somewhere else, change
your church relations, 'lake your
hymnbook home with you today. Say
goodby to your friends in the neighboring
pews ami go with him to any one of
a hundrrd churches till his soul is saved
and he joins you in the inarch to heaven.
More important than that ring
on the third linger of your left hand it
is that your Heavenly Father command
the angel of mercy concerning your husband
at his conversion, as in tho ovra
blc of old, "Put a ring on his hand."
No letter of more importance rv?r
came to the great city of Corinth, ? h- i
ated on what was called the "Brid, c <>i
the Sea, ' and glistening with sculp uio,
and gated with a stylo of brass the magnificence
of which the following ages
have not been able to successfully imitate,
and overshadowed by the AeroCorinthus,
a fortress of rock 2,000 feet
high?I say no letter ever camo to that
great city of more importance than that
letter in which Paul puts the two startling
<|Ucstions: ''What knowest thou,
O wile, whether tliuu shalt save thy
husband? Or how knowest thou, O
man. whether thou shalt save thy
wife?" Tho dearest sacrifice on the
part of the one is cheap if it rescue the
other Better go to the smallest,
weakest, most insignificant church on
earth and be copartners in eternal bliss
than pass your earthly membership in
most gorgeously attractive church while
your companion stays outside of evangelical
privilege, Better have the
drowning saved by a scow or a sloop
than let him or her go down while you
sail by in tho gilded cabins of a Majestic
or Campania.
Second remark: If both of the married
couples be Christians, but one is
so naturally constructed that it is impossible
to enjoy the sorvices of a particular
denomination and the other is
not so sectarian or punctilious, lot the
one less particular go with tho other
who is very particular. As for myself,
I feel as much at home in one denomination
of evangelical Christians as another,
and I think 1 must havo been
born very near the line. I like tho solemn
roll of tho Episcopal liturgy, and I
like the spontaneity of the Methodists,
and I like tho importance given to tho
ordinance of baptism by the Baptists,
and I like the freedom of the Congregationalists,
and I like the government
and the sublime doctrine of the Presbv??iiiii
< -?
iviiuuo, uiiu i use many 01 tnc others
just as much as any I have mentioned,
and 1 could happily live and preach
and die and he buried from any of thorn.
Hut others arc born with a liking so
stout, so unbending, so inexorable for
Borne denomination that it is a positive
necessity they have the advantago of
that ono. What they were intended to
bo in ceclcsiasticism was written in the
sides of their cradle, if the father and
mother had eyes keen enough to sec it.
They would not stop crying until they
had put in their hands as a plaything a
Westminster catechism of the Thirtynine
Article. The wholo current of
their temperament and thought and
character runs into ono sect of religionists
as naturally as the.lames river into
the Chesapeake. It would he a torture
! to such persons to he anywhere outside
of that one church.
Now, let the wife or husband who is
not so constructed sacrilice the milder
preference for the one more inflexible
and rigorous. Let the grapevine follow
the rugosities and the sinuosities of the
oak or hickory. Abratn, the richer in
flocks of Christian grace, should say to
Lot, who is built on a smaller scale:
"Lot there be no strife, I pray thee, between
me and thee, and between my
herdsmen and thy herdsmen. Is not
the wholo land before thee?" As you
can be edified and happy anywhere, go
I with your companion to the church to
which he or she must go or be miserable.
Remark the third: If both tho married
couple are very strong in their sectarianism
let them attend the different
churches nrefcrroA h i
r. . . v ? uvt iivuunnai jr
that you attend the samo church. Hcligion
is between your conscience and
your Go 1. Like Abram and Lot, agree
to differ. "When on Sabbath morning
you come out oi' your home together and
one goes one way and the other the
other, heartily wish each other a good
sermon and a time of profitable devotion,
and when you meet again at the
noonday repast, let it be evident, each
to each and to your children and to the
hirod help, that you havo both been on
the Mount of Transfiguration, although
you wont up by differont paths, and
that you have both been fed by the
bread of life, though kneaded by differ
ent hands In different trays and baked
in different ovens. "Hut how about
the children?" I am often asked by
scores of parents, bet thorn also make
their own choice. They will grow up
with revcronco for both the denominations
represented by father and mother
if you by holy lives commend thoso denominations.
If the father li.\ea the
better life, they will havo the moro
favorable opinion of his denomination.
If the mother lives tho better life, they
will have the more favorablo opinion of
her denomination. And some day both
parents will, for at least ono service, go
to tho samo church. The neighbors
will say. "I wonder what is going on
today, for I saw our neighbor and his
wife, who always go to different
churches, going arm in arm to the samo
sanctuary." Well, 1 will tell you what
has brought them together arm in arm
to tho same altar. Something very i
important has happened. Their son is
today uniting with the church, lie is
standing in the aisle, taking tho vows
of a Christian, lie had been somowhat
wayward, gave father aud mother a good
deal of anxiety, but their prayers have
been answered in his conversion, and as '
lie stnnds in the aisle and the minister
of religion says, ''l>o you consecrate
yourself to the (iod who made and redeemed
you, and do you promise to
Hcrvo him all your days?" and with
manly voice he answers, "1 do," there
is an April shower iu tho pew where
father and mother sit and a rainbow of
joy which arches both their houIs tnat
makes ill differences of creed infinitesimal.
Ami the daughter, who had been '
very worldly and gay and thoughtless, 1
puts her life on the altar of consccra
tion, and as the sunlight of that Sab- J
bath streams through the church win- '
dow and falls upon her brow and cheek
she looks like their other daughter,
whose face was illuminated with tho 1
brightness of another world on the day '
when the Lord took her into his heav- 1
only keeping years ago.
1 should not wonder if, after all, these .
parents pass the evening of their life in (
the same church, all differences of ,
church preference overcome by the joy
of being in the house of God where ,
their children were prepared for usefulness
and heaven. Hut I can give you
a recipe for ruining your children. An- .
grily contend in the household that (
your ehurch is right and the church
of your companion is wrong. Bring
sneer and caricature to emphasize
your opinions, and your children
will makeup thoir minds that roli- (
gion is a sham, and they will have none |
of it. I n the northeast storm of domestic
controversy the rose of Sharon and |
the lily of the valley will not grow.
Fight about apostolic succession, fight
^ 1 ^ _A : _ ^ 1 r /? .
nuuui cmoumi ana ii'CC agency, IlgHt |
about baptism, fight about the bishopric,
fight about gown and surplice, and the
religious prospects of your children
will lie left dead on the field. You will
be as unfortunate as (Jhaarles, duke of |
Hurgundy, who in battle lost a diamond
the value of a kingdom, for in
your light you will loso the jewel of
salvation for your entire household.
This is nothing against the advocacy of
your own religious theories. Use all
forcible argument, bring all telling illustration,
array all demonstrative
facts, but let there bo no acerbity, no
stinging retort, no mean insinuation,
no superciliousness, as though all others
were wrong and you infallibly right.
Tako a hint from astronomy. The
Ptolemaic system made the earth the
center of the solar system, and everything
was thought to turn round the
oarth. Hut the Copernican system
came and made the sun the center
around which the planets revolved.
The bigot makes his little belief the
center of everything, but the large
souled Christian makes tho sun of
righteousness the center and all denominations
without any clashing and
each in its own sphere rovolving around
it. Over the tomb of Dean Stanley in
Westminster abbey is the passage of
Scripture, ''Thy commandments are exceeding
broad." Hot no man crowd us
on to a path like the bridgo A1 Sirat,
which the Mohammedan thinks leads
from this world over the abyss of hell
??.- i _1> *1. - I 1
<11 w j'ui auiouj tnu uiciiutii oi 111(5 image
less than the web of a starved spider or
the edge of a sword or razor, off the
edges of which many fall. No. While
the way is not wide enough to take with
us any of our sins, it is wide enough
for all Christian believers to pass without
peril into everlasting safety. Hut
do not any of you depend upon what
you call a "sound creed" for salvation.
A man may own all the statutes of the
state of New York and yet not he a
lawyer, and a man may owu all the host
medical treatise and not he a physician, i
and a man may own all the bcsl works i
on painting and architecture and not he
cither painter or architect, and a man i
may own all the sound creeds in the
world and yet not he a Christian. Not
what you have in your head and on your
tongue, hut in your heart and in your <
lifo, will decide everything. <
In olden times in 1*1 ngland before the
modern street lamps were invented every
householder was expected to have a lantern
suspended in front of his house,
and the cry of the watchmen in London
as tlmy went along at eventide was,
"Hang out your lights!" Instead of
disputing in your home about the different
kinds of lanters, as a watchman
on the walls of'/ion I cry, "Let your
light ?? shino before men that they,
seeing your good works, may glorify
your Father which is in heaven!" Hang
out your lights! You may have a thousand
ideas about religion and yet not
the great idea of pardoning mercy. It
is not the number of ideas, but the
greatness of them. A mouse hath ten
otfspring in her nest, while the lioness
hath one in her lair. All ideas about
forms and corcmonies and church government
put together are not worth the
one idea of getting to heaven yourself
and taking your family with you.
Hut do not reject Christianity, as
many do, hccauso there arc so many
sects. Standing in Westminster hotel,
London, I looked out of the window ana
saw thrco clooks, as near as I can remember?one
on the parliament house,
another on St. Margaret's chapel, another
on Westminster abboy anu they
were all different. One said 12 o'clock
at noon, another said five minutes ho*
fore 12, another said five minutes after
12. I might as well have concluded
that there is no such thing as time because
the three timepieces were different
as for you to conclude that there is
no such thinir as pure Christianity because
the churches differ in their statoment
of i'.
Hut let us all rejoice that, although
part of our family may worship on
earth in one church and part in another
churoh or bowed at the same altar in a
compromise of preferences, we are, if
redeemed, 011 the way to a perfect
churoh, whore all our preferences will
be fully gratified. (Ircat cathedral of
eternity, with arches of amethysts and
pillars of sapphire, Hoors of emerald
and windows aglow with tho sunrise of
hcavon! What stupendous towers, with
chimes angel hoisted and angel rung!
What myriads of worshipers, whito
robed and coronetcd! What an oflieiator
at tho altar, oven "the great High
Priost of our profession!" What walls,
hung with the captured shield and tlags,
by the church militant passed up to be
church triumphant! What doxologies
. f 11 .
ui an naiions! Uoronot to ooronet,
cymbal to cymbal, harp to harp, organ
to organ! l'ull out the tremulant stop
to recall the suflorings past! Pull out
the trrmpet stop to celebrate the victory!
When shall these eyes thy heaven built
walls
And pearly gates behold,
Thy bulwarks, with salvation strong,
And streets of shining gold?
THE CROPS AND WEATHER.
What the Department of Agriculture
Says About Them.
Tho following is the weekly bulletin
)f the condition of the weather and
jrops of the State as issued Wednesday
by Section Director Bauer of tho United
Stutes Weather and Crop Sorvico
bureau:
The week ending .June 12th, 1890,
was one. of torrid heat, with the avertgo
temperature about 7 degrees per
lay above the normal, and with an extreme
maximum of 10f> degrcces on the
3th at Greenwood.
There was almost an entire abscnec
of rain during the week until Saturday
evening, when general showers began
that continued throughout Sunday, and
in places on Monday. The week closed
with cooler, threatening weather prevail
iag.
The hot, dry weather of the greater
part of the week was very injurious to
crops generally, and some, sueh as to
bacco, rice, corn and truck, were seriously
damaged in places, while cotton
VV n > but little a (Touted.
Cotton of early planting is doing well
everywhere and some is putting on
squares freclv: late tdanted is nnt nil
up, and sonic fields have been rcplowed
and planted to corn. The stands of cotton
arc generally fair, but the plants
are smaller than usual to the season.
Sea Island cotton is in splendid condition,
and sonic blooms have been noted.
Corn was suffering everywhere for
rain, and in many places turned yellow
and wilted; old corn in tassel is
seriously damaged by drought?in
places practically ruined. There is
much land yet to plant to corn in fho
north central and south central counties,
on red lands. Old corn is being
laid by. Insects continue to injure this
crop.
Tobacco suffered serious impairment
especially late settings, many of which
died, leaving stands much broken; early
tobaoco is blooming low.
Rico is doing well on low lands, but
upland rice withered and died out in
places. Rate or .J unc planting is nearly
finished,
Wheat and oats harvest is ncaring
completion and threshing has begun,
with quite satisfactory yields of wheat,
while oats are turning out poor ly, with
soino exceptions. Spring oats are too
low to cut, and are a crop failure.
Maturing truck crops were cut short
about one-third by the drought. Pastures
and gardens were parched. Much
complaint of blight on apple and pear
trees. Melons being laid by, but suffering
for rain. The conditions as
stated by correspondents in this bulletin,
have been materially modified by
the recent rains, hut to what extent is
not now known.
New Lieutenant Governor.
Thursday morning the Hon. R R.
Scarborough of Horry county, who by
virtue of his position as president pro
tern of the Stato senate, and the olevation
of the former lieutenant governor
to the office of governor, becomes
lieutenant governor, arrived in the
city, lie had not up to that time taken
the oath as required by the constitution.
At ltt o'clock Senator Scarborough
went to the State canitol and i?r?
cccdcd to take the oath of olhec before
Col. U. It. Brooks, clerk of the State
supreme court Having done so he
signed it in duplicate, ono copy being
left in tho oilice of the secretary of
stato. Upon taking tho oath Mr. Scarborough
vacated the office of senator of
Horry county; the duty therefore devolves
upon him of issuing a writ of
election for the election of his successor
as senator. He also has to issue a
writ for an election in Ucxington
county to till tho vacancy occasioned
by the election of Senator Griffith as
superintendent of the State penitentiary.?
State.
Discussing the Dispensary.
The temperance society of tho First
Congregational church, Washington,
D. C., held a symposium one night this
week upon the "dispensary system of
treating the liquor problem." The
Cost reports that "among tho good
points of the dispensary system were
mentioned the ovorthrow of the political
influence of the saloon, tho cessation
of treating, the separation from tho
places where liquor is sold from lunches
and games, the publicity obtained
through requiring every purchaser to
sign his name, the prohibition of
drinking on tho premises, and tho fact
the dispensaries arc closed on Sundays,
holidays, and at night."
Four Drowned.
Nows has just been received that the
towu of Brackctt, nbout 120 miles west
of San Antonio, Tex., is under 10 feet
of water. Four persons aro missing
and are supposed to have boon drowned.
A water spout over that placo has inundated
tho country for miles around.
The Southern Pacific tracks for a number
of miles west of Clino station aro
washed away and scvoral bridges aro
wrecked. Many cattle havo perished
in the water. Rations are being issued
to the poople from Fort Clark.
Is it tho boat? Taste and soc. Best
