THE SOUTHKHN CHItlKTIA.N AD
VOCATE.
Tho first issue of the Southern Ad
vorate, published in Anderson, is off
tho press, ar ?. is filled with good
things for the Methodist? of South
Carolina. TIiIb church paper is pub
lished by The Anderson Intelligen
cer, which newspaper has secured a
contract for publishing it for four
yeurs.
The new editor is Rev. W. C. Kirk
Iand, one of the leading members of
the Conference of South Carolina. He
Is well fitted for the great work or
editing the paper of his denomination.
A college man with university train
ing, and with an active ministry for
a number of years In some of the most
important charges of the State, he
brings to this editorial work a train
ed mind and a consecrated heart for
tho work. He writes easily and with
a literary stylo which will place him
in tho front ranks of editors of the
religious press in the South. Anderson
Is. indeed, glad to welcome this good
man and his family to the city, and
also the Southern Christian Advocate.
Tho following is Editor Kirkland's
salutatory:
Thin is a new and strange business
for us. We have known nothing hut
tho pastorate. But us long as we are
responsible for the Southern Christ
ian Advocate, we Bhall try to make It
a readable and helpful paper.
The twentieth century Is one In
which we have seen tho facilities for
collecting and publishing the world'b
new? made perfect. And to know every
Say what has boen dono In every other
part of the world seems necessary to
the prosperity of any one part. Among
' all theso agencies, the newspaper
Btill holds one, of tho chief places.
The Btor, ia'told that when Danja
mlu Franklin first, thought of estab
lishing the Saturday ?vcnioj? Post,
ho consulted his mother about the
matter and Bhe advised against it. say
ing, "There are two newspapers in
the United States already and that
ought t*o bo enough." We wonder what
she would say about such matters to
day, were sho living. A paper dealer
informa ua that three hundred car
loads of paper are consumed dally tn
our country In the making of news
papers. This seems incredible.
But we do know that every commer
cial enterprise, every political party,
and every religious organization to
day knows full well the power that
resides in printer's ink.
The church newspaper haa become
an indispensable thing. We can never
again do without it. Its power Ib too
great ever to bo discarded in religious
work. We beltevo the future will see it
brought to a very high etato of perfec
tion.
The Advocate la first of all a news
paper that was, designed loug ago by
far-sceipg men to .disseminate the
news of the Methodist Church here I
in our beloved Palmetto State and of'
Methodism In general.
The Methodist Church has become
a very great organization In the world.
We are working out a ^reat denomina
tional life, have great activities, a
great spirit, mission, purpose and end
Is view. The Methodist Church will
play a part tn the world's religious
work both today, and tomorrow, and
in the remote future.
In order that this life may express
Itself and communicate itself, we need,
In addition to our other no less valu
able instruments, our own newspaper.
We bavo built up at a stupendous
cost our varied enterprises. We have
put time and money and lives into)
thorn. Tu??b ?r? ui?ini?iii?d by ?b for
the expressed intent and purpose of
stamping our.,interpretation of the
religion taught, by. Christ on tho life
of this world In which we live, both
here in this new nation and in other
lands. And we know, all of ua, that
the success of these undertakings de
pends largely on the Ideal condition of
all of us knowing at the same time
what the mind of Israel Is.
But how can we all know as we
should unless we have some adequate
means of intercommunication? It
seems more lmp'erative now than ever
that full information concerning our
Church work be kept steadily before
the' minds'of all the people who uro
called Methodists. It is not sufficient
that our -hishops,- presiding elders,
pastors, and lay leaders, know, but
our first reserve lino, our men, our
seennd reserve lino, our women, and
even our third reserve line, our youth,
must also- know, in order that they
may appreciate the sublime purpose
of our Church and so be willing to co
operate with us.. Adequate and accu
rate , knowledge of the reason for our
denominational existence and of the
ends that we have In.'view, that is, in
standing for the New Testament type
of religion,,as wo know it. cannot but
develop .hearty and , enthusiastic
Christian service among us.
Tho Advocate is Also a family paper.
It goes as ? weekly visitor into thous
ands of homes. It must, therefore, car
ry a diversity of Information. Its pages
should be enriched with things that
touch in*a helpful way-our many sided
life.
A special department will be main
tained for Our Boys and Girls. The j
children of this day are omnivorous
readers. The Advocate will try to give I
them a good page. We trust they may
enjoy it and We hope to cultivate
their friendship thereby. Whecvtr
gains the heart of a child or youth
and leads him to love the Church does
both a lasting service. One of our best
ministers learned the alphabet, when
a child, .in these.columns and he sayn
he ewes an equal debt of gratitude
to the Advocate and to. tho late Dr.
James H. Carlisle, under whom ho was
educated. That is high praise for The
Advocate.
It would afford us no little delight
to know that par cuts who have those
in their home to train for the future
came to feel that the insignificant cum
invested.for the price of tho Church
paper was the hest mossy cf all that
thoy apond on their education. '
The main body ot The Advocate will
of course, be prepared for matera men
sard women1. We ' have already enlist
ed the help ot some who : are fully
competent to make our columns inter
est in?. Wo believe that with our con
tribution?, present und protective,
we shall he uble to set our adult read
ers an appetizing bill of fare. Some
of our helpers have already placed ub
under obligation for their work on
thin Initial number und in fact tuere
uro Koine good things that had to be
kept over for the next or else increase
tho number of our pages, which we
roulii not do.
Among Christian Advocate readers
there Is u big, big number of the dear
old folk, who are scattered here and
there over South Carolina. We have
Just used one word which we confess
wo do not like. And we are trying to
lrop It out of our vocabulary. The
body does indeed decay and grow old,
but somehow Clod has a way by which
he keeps the heart in perpetual youth.
Many of these are now practically
shut In at their honicB, seldom do
they Ret to the public workshop, they
hear few sermons or prayers, or
hymns. The little grand children gath
er around their big chairs at the close
of the day. These sometimes have day
dreams, in which by faith they see
the City that hath foundations whose
architect and builder is God and they
wait for the inheritance which is in
corruptible, undented, and that fadctb
not away.
These all love to read The Advocate
perhnps as nono others do and It Is
our desire, to bring them from week
to week many things good and beauti
ful to read.
Hut lastly, as tho good minister
Fays, tho Advocate is a denomination
al paper, a Methodist paper. We love
all the Churches that truly exalt
Jesus Christ as King of kings and
Lord of lords, but we love our own
the best. In our boyhood home there
never was any attempt made to find
which church was entitled to second
place, whether Lutheran, or Baptist,
or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, or
what Church. Wo loved them all and
were glad we did not have to sit 1
Judgment as to that matter, but .wltu
us there wsb never any doubt that the
Methodist Church wa3 first In our af
fection and veneration. It could hard
ly have been otherwise with ub, how
ever, as aii of uur petipie uu uuiu
sides wero Methodist clear back to
Adam. The Advocate thus being a
Methodist paper, we shall use it to set
forth the faith that we so much cher
ish.
nut whatever else It may be or may
not be, we want it to be such that
it shall merit the Divine approval and
with this end In view, we shall do
our part, as und jr the Great Task
Master's Eye.
SELF-GOVERNMENT
Much la being said today of the mat
ter of prohibition. It is one of the
live questions of the day, and the best
thought of this generation is being
applied to the solution of the liquor
problem. Tho trend of the times is
toward abstenance and temperate
drinking. Business demands it and so
ciety is making a stand for sobriety.
Tho press and the pulpit are almost
? olid I y for those laws which will
strengthen the weak and make It hard
[for them to obtain tbat which will
destroy the efficiency of worker and
thinker If taken to excess.
Perhaps the greatest good is being
done by teaching the evils of exces
sive drinking. The text books of the
schools have much In them to teacn
the pupil to abstain from Intemper
ate drinking of alcoholic beverages.
Their physiologies tell them that If
they drink they will be weaker than
if they abstain?weaker both physi
cally and mentally. With proper em
phasis placed upon this teaching by
the conscientious teacher, there will
be many boys and girls growing up
as advocates of stronger bodies and
minds through total abstenance.
Other factors In this - trmporate
fight is being made by men of big
business. The railroads now wl.M not
employ a man who drinks, factories
will give preference to sober men. 80
a young man is being forced, whether
or not he wishes it, to bo temperate.
The last step will be taken when no
girl will tolerate drinking among her
boy friends, and no woman will wed
a drinking man. Many of them have
already taken this step, but It will
bo long, we fear, before tho rule be
comes universal.
The following editorial from The
Chicago Tribune is going the rounds:
Un go veined individuals will not
make a self governed body. In Rus
sia, where government never departs
from tho nursery theory, it is to be
ezpecfed that edicts rather than indi
vidual control will command conduct.
Here It is more in keeping with our
Ideas'that the individual should'be
.legislated at as little as possible, and
should be governed by his own- intel
ligence as much aa possible.
' Wo do not disparage prohibitory
statutes In restraint of the liquor bus
iness. To the extent that they are
effective they are beneficial, but they
are not perfect substitutes for the
better thing of selt-govornment of
habit without law. Intelligence arous
ed by education Is a surer preventive,,
in the case of liquor as tn. other
things, than **rch?bltcry ?sw. '
Liquor can be attacked by intelli
gence. One difficulty in the way or
abstenance for many years was the
determinancy of advocates of prt\Uj
bitton to make It a moral Issue. The ;
nun who pushed his way Into a saloon
once a day or twice a day was not
conscious of moral, detection. When
ho was told that be offended good
morals by taking a drink he resented
the charge and was more than ipapar
Vlous to tu He was hostile,
i When be Is told that his habit of
drinking has inevitable consequences
la the; sbape of disease, decreased offl
clency; a shortened Rte, with the pos
sibility of total, in capacity and desti
tution, he Is being reached in a man
ner which permits no resentmont. It
la,true that In many cases.there Is a
deterioration of morals as tho result
I?a?g?????
of drinking, but too many men know
from experience that morally they are
un good as teetotalers. What they
cannot maintain in honesty is that
they are physically and-economically
an good, or, if they happen to be, that
they will remain as good.
The movement which teaches that
is the hard knock against the making
and drinking of liquor, and we think
it would be found to be the basis ot
the Buccess of the anti-saloon propa
ganda in so many cities.
PROMISING INDICATIONS
The progress and correct develop
ment of a Btate or city depends al
most entirely upon the mental and
moral condition of the people. Finan
cial loss and business disaster, due to
unexpected and unusual conditions,
do not long interrupt success and
greater development, provided the
minds of the people are free from pre
judice and other hurtful local con
ditions.
It may be putting it rather strongly,
but very many things point to the fact
that politics in this state for the par.:
several years has brought about more
real injury to the State in morals and
money than has resulted or will result
from the European war. The people
have been divided into hostile camps
and their passions and prejudices con
stantly enfiam?d by the demagogue;
the traditions of the past, which held
South Carot'i.a to the front as the
.sanest and proudest State in the na
tion, have been trampled in the dust,
and the State haa become a joke and
a sneer in sister States.
But indications now point to a pros
perous, even glorious future. The State
as been aroused from Its overdose of
bad politics; the people have grown
saner; the disasters resulting from
the European war have turned the
minds c? the people to husbandry,
closer attention to burlness and true
economy; correct men have, been se
lected to deal with correct political
measures; past differences have been
burled in the determination to meet
and overcome losses resulting from
tho low price of .cotton. In short, the
people are onco more sane, have elect
ed sane men to office, have ceased to
complain and have made up their
mindd to go to .work with greater
energy. A new era hus begun and
nothing short of war in this country
which is by no means likely, will keep
back the greatest) prosperity this
State has ever known.
AN IMPORTANT QUESTION

Dear Mr. Editor:19,;
