It remains to be seen whether my lucubrations In The Courier will bring to me ruin or rest At any rate, up to date, they are bringing me all sorts ot letters, and some of them set all the wheels in my head a going, while othes get down into my deep er nature, and warm up the cockles of my heart There were three In the mail yesterday, worthy of good treat ment; but I can attend to but one of the three now. Maybe same Cour ier reader can come to my help; so here is the letter. If any good soul is moved hy it and wishes the girl's address, I am here at Bleak House, ready to give it. "My Dear 8ir: I read The Cour ier, and see that you travel this State quite a good deal, and I am going to ask a favor of you. The hard times have caused me to quit school, and X am anxious to get work to do, so that I may enter again in September, 1916. I am seventeen years old, and am capable and willing to tench email children, or to be a governess, as I have always been accustomed to children; or be an office girl. I cannot bear to be idle when there needs to be so much done. Now, Dr. Blown, It you could assist me in finding work, I would acoept it as the greatest fa vor. I would be a companion for an elderly lady. I can give you all the references you may wish to have. Rev. J. D. Hoggins knows my mother and all her people quite intimately. Trust ing you can aid me, I am. etc." I wonder If there is anybody In the whole world (who reads the- Cour ier), who can come to this girl's help-. Her- writing is neat and clear, and tho spirit of her appeal Is admirable. Just ship your answers to me, and I'll for ward them to the proper place. I have found ' friends for other folks, and I fcol 'some hov? or other that I am go ing to find one for thiB girl. John Tines Church. 1 have not yet reached the ultlma thule of my possible journeys; but I have been to Anderson, and spent a Sunday with the First church, the Jno. D. Rockefeller of the South Car olina Baptist churches. I am reliab ly informed that several men high in the Baptist ranks have informed John Vines that they Btand ready to take his place at any moment. It Is a magnificent piece of religious en ginery. I spoke to a room full of Ba racas on Sunday morning, and old man Judge Cox, informed me that they had one hupdred and seventy names on the Baraca roll. I tried to speak too to an auditorium full of peo ple on the fertile theme? "The Old Preachers' Case,", and the patience of the saints was beautiful to look upon. They showed ..their ,. forbearance by coming back to hear me again at nlgnc and at each service we were on the verge of having a hugging, bee. The circumstances forbade it? that was all that stood in tho way. I am con fidently expecting that /this great church will give me .about four hun dred dollar j per annum for the Old Preachers just as Boon us the folks over tns pred leave ou tearing; at each other's throats, and cotton -goes up to .a decent and respectable I figure. Sel ah! V irres was away while I was on the ground. They told me he was holding a meeting in Spartanburg, and the brother who gave . roe the news informed me that John was.? real Btump puller in a moetlng. And I part ly believe it These, fellows who pass as'evangelists, and only skim the face of the earth with their preaching, ate out of date now, and ought to bo out of a job. This age requires subsoil ing. Still I should love to sit off in the brush, and wotch John Vines run his sweep against some stumps I have met with in the fallow g round b of the ministry. Thero would surely be a busting trace, a broken plow, or a strangled. mule somewhere in that neighborhood before sundown. But the First church of Anderson is surely tne largest and- wealthiest thing or tne {Lind we have in South Carolina, ana t strikes a poor sinner like me that the said one church should bo made Into two; But, pray, who am IT I met tne - treasurer fof | the ' church In question, Brother-Led better.

V Anderson College. * Yes, I went to see the college tool It sits like" a queen upon a beautiful hilltop, and has a better site than any Baptist female college in the State. The buildings are stately and Imposing, and all the departments seem to be folly and thoroughly equipped; Judge Cox was with me. and a Sumter girl, whom I had help ed to bring into.' young womanhood, acted as.our efficient and genial guide.
