COMMONS?NSE
IN HIS DOCTRINE!
Made a Profound Impression on
Vast Audience Which Over
flowed Auditorium of First
Baptist Church
There was another great outpour
ing of the,people of the city and the
delegates. In their homes last night
und the great auditorium of the First
Baptist church was again Ailed to
running over. This was one of the
greatest assemblies of any kind ever
held In this city. The principal speak
er of the evening waa Dr; Williamson
of St. Louis, taking the place of Mra.
Bryner, by a change in the program.
It waS a great treat to hear Dr. Wil
liamson and also a great pleasure to
know, that Mrs. Bryner'a address is
yet in store. L
The musical program last night
was much of an improvement over
the night before. The large choir and
the congregational singing were led
and directed by Mr. Lowden. acccom
panied on the piano by Mr. Fnper, who
showed great aympathy in bis inter
pretation of the music of the hymns.
During the session of the evening be
gave a number of old songs with love,
ly variations.
The finished address by Dr. Wm. .1.
Williamson, pastor of the Third
Baptist church of St. Louis, was one
of the most catholic in aplr?t ever
delivered before the State convention
and made a tremendous impression.
His subject was "The InternaUonil
Sunday School Association and Chris
tian Unity." Dr. Williamson stated
that the comic unity is known by its
churches. The broken down church.
- mesas bi^kea^fltifei|ttyes and- drhfpv
Ida ted homes1." The Church' wllli lite
Is the index of a. virile community.
Thttb: was<e>time "when the <-h?r*h
could take'tare*'of ail of the needs of
the- community, and the church Can
do the work dir*. He would not give
one. dollar to any other cause which
woulc*. claim to do the work of the
church. He commended most warmly
the interdenominational work and
spirit.
There la. something in the ehurch
lb rough which God speaks to man as
through no. other agency. What we
want is untty but not union..
The speaker said that the trend of
the times was toWarne ?ieviBiian uni
ty. He described the differences be
tween union and unity by quoting a
friend of his who said: "You can
take two cats and tie their tails to
gether and throw them across a
" clothes wire. You wl|l then have a
brilliant eaamplo of union without
unity." Dr.". Williamson said that
If unity of the churches ever did come
It would be' at ;the expense of weak
doctrines. The fittest would survive,
fpr, he said; 'a*V'could not live. Some
must die and the weakest would- be
tbe first to go. He advocated Chris
tian duty, but satd that Christian un
ity did not necessarily mean union of
the churches. Th? Christians of any
community can get together end work
for the common anod. without the sac
rifice of n single principle, he said.
lr.ternodomlnatlonal aaenclufi must
Keep their hands'off the doctrines of
the. church. The Book Is the sword
. of the Spirit, and the men who fight
on mu?t know the value of ihelr steel
by trying Its temper In battle. There
la sounder ^reaching and better
preaching today than since the days
of St. Paul, because of the effort that
the laymen are making to back up the
pulpit.
Where one layman waa once Inter
ested there are now 10. But men may
b? members of too many organizations.
If a man does his whole duty by his
family and h?# ]W?o?kfff* bib*
be has ^^WM^hn^m

fellowships.
Dr. WttUamee? finished hW,addres*
with these words:
"'Sooth Carolins can never be^ taken
for Christ by the. denomination* Work
ing separately. We must stand annul
der to shoulder in. the task. We may]
not yet be ready for Chris tion union,
in fact I think we are net, bat this
organisation Is not concerned with
doctrines; it deals solely with meth
ods, and there la here a large field In
common. I shall never give my alle
giance to any interdenominational or
ganisation which does not result in
tbe upbuilding add vitalizing of tbe
local church, for the local church is
God's ordained Institution for bring

this reason I am Always exceedingly

WITH THE FUNDS
At a Great Rally Last Night Over
$3,300 was FledgtcJ and
.This will Be Largely
Increased
There was a grest deal of Interest
laat night when the executive com
mittee members of the South Carolina
Interdenominational Sunday ' School
association entered the auditorium of
the First Baptist church after a
prayerful and tearful session of an
hour or longer in one of the Sunday
school rooms. The committee had
teen brought face to face with a
crisis by the resignation of Misa Van
diver, who soon is to leave for her
new home in Manitoba, Canada.
As was announced in The Intelli
gencer yesterday morning, it bad been
decided to invite Rev. Dr. John O.
Carmab, general secretary of tbe
Colorado Association. But it would
require funds to bring this distin
guished worker and his family from
a distant Stats. The ?Sedativa com
mittee had wrestled with the proposi
tion. It was felt that Dr. Carman was
needed, that be was the very man for
the work. And the mon and women
who bad listened to his addresss Wed
nesday evening felt that this - man
would be an asset to the great State
of South Carolina.
At the conclusion of Dr. Willlam
son's splendid address last night, Mr.
J. Shrevs Durham, one of the secre
taries or tbe International Headquar
ters at Chicago, made a brief and stir
ring talk on the subject bf "How to
Help the Preachers to Reach the Peo
Durham aaked for ^5,000- to carry on'
tbe work this current year. He ex
plained that Mr. Carman had decided
to accept the call, provided th? State,
association would back him up. There1
was pledge 1 from the various counties j \
present, something like 13,300. An-j
derson County did not come in as a {
county organisation, but there werej,
numerous individual subscriptions and
Townvllle, ' through two. churches
gave $50. The county of Spartanburg
cave $500 Cibpr cauntles gave even
more in proportion to their popula
tion and wealth, notably Union, Colle
ton and Edgefleld.
Mr. Durham declared thai with this j
start the remainder of the $6,000 would .
be 6??y Ut raise, although he had hoped
to see It all pledged last night. The.
pledge of the county of Anderson for
laat year was $150 and this was paid.
Mr. Durhatr, who Is no stranger to
the South Carolina people, having at
tended other conventions In this Elate,
is enthusiastic over the outlook in
South Carolina. He told the people
that they had a Valuable man in the
Rev. Dr. John C. Carman, who is un
usually well qualified. He has been
the general secretary of Colorado for
11 years and has accomplished h won
derful work there, having led the State
from 5 in every 100 wbt. were mem
bers of Sunday schools to 11 In every

a letter from'the Governor wnitea
to hi mon Feb. 7, 1818? after Mr.

a copy of the Judiciary/committee's .
primary .reform bill. The letter sug
gested that a provision be added to
the bill and that In order that thorough
consideration could b.. given U that
it be continued for a year,
Mr. Stevenson said that the Gover
nor's wishes in regard to the bill hud
been complice' with to the letter.

Mr. Wyche of 8partanbtirg, said te
be tbe Bleaae whip, told the House
that although he urged en the floor
the other day the substitution of the
rules passed by the last democratic
convention for the judiciary's hin,
after conferring with the Governor
and his friends he had decided that
it was best to leave the primary elec
tion laws alone.1
Mr Wy-?he said that he; doubtod tbe
accuracy of the statement i that . tbe
chief executive made in a speech from
the State house steps to. the effect
that twenty thousand fraudulent votes
were east In the last primary. .
Mr, Wyche attribut^! ?he ?s?gs

bad never thought of votlnjf before.
Congratulate Themwlrr*.
The advocates of primary election
reform a:e congratulating themselves
of the safe majority by which the
Honae refused to strike out the en
acting worda of the Judiciary's bill.
It is believed that the substitution of
the Senate primary reform bill will
go far towards changing the votes of
those members who voted against the
judiciary's bill because they did not
like Itc provisions end'apt'' because
they are oppored to primary ?lection
reform.
