A city of marble was ("srsarea—
wharves of marble, houses of marble,
temples of marble. This hein^ the or
dinary architecture of the place, you
may Imagine something of the splendor
of Governor Felix's residence. In a
room of that palace, floor tessellated,
windows curtained, ceiling fretted, the
whole scene affluent with Tyrian pur-
pin and statues and pictures and carv
ings, sat a very dark eumpb xioned man
of the name of Felix, and beside him a
woman of extraordinary lieauty, whom
he had stolen by breaking up another
domestic cir< lc. She was only IK years
of age, a princess by birth, and unwitting
ly waiting for her doom—that of lieing
buried alive in the ashes and scoria* of
Mount Vesuvius, which in sudden erup
tion one day put an end to her alHimina-
tlons.
Well, one afternoon Drusilla, seated
In the palace, weary with the magniti-
MUt stupidities of the place, says to
Felix: "You have a very distinguished
prisoner, I lielieve, of the name of
Paul. Do you know he is one of my
jountryinen? I should very much like
to see him, and 1 Tumid very mu. h like
to hear him sp'-ak, for I have heard so
much about his eloquence. Hesides that
the other day, when he was being tried
in another room of this pulnen and the
windows were open, I heard the ap
plause that greeted the speech of Law
yer Tertullus as he denounced Paul.
Now, 1 very much wish I could hear
Paul speak. Won't you let me hear
hlmsi>enk:’’ "Yes, "said Felix, "I will.
I will order him up now from the
guardroom."
Pniil's <;rc»t Sermon.
Clank, clank, comes a chain up the
marble stairway, and there is a shuffle
at the door, and in comes Paul, a little
old man, prematurely old through ex
posure, only tin years of age, hut look
ing ns though he were ho. He lx*ws
verv courteously l»cfiire the giivcrm>r and
the beautiful woman by his side, They
nay: "Paul, wo have heard n great deal
about your Speaking. Give us now a
ppccimcn of your eloquence," Oh, if
•here ever was a chance for a man to
•how off, Paul had a chance there! He
might have harangued them alsmt Grc
clan art, alviuf the wonderful water
works In* had seen at Corinth, about
•he A eropolis by moonlight, almnf pris
on life in Philippi, about "what I saw
in Thessalonica," about the old mythol
ogies, hut "No!" Paul said to himself,
"I am now on the way to martyrdom,
and this man and woman will soon Is*
dead, and this is my only opportunity
to talk to them about tin* things of
^f/cternity. ”
And just there and then there broke
In upon the scene a peal of thunder. It
was the voice of a judgment day speak
ing through flu* words of the decrepit
apostle. As that grand old missionary
proceeded with his remarks the stoop
begins to go out of his shoulders, and
he rises up, and hL countenance is illu
mined with the glories of a future
life, and his shackles rattle and grind
aw he lifts his fettered arm and with
it hurls upon his abashed auditors the
bolts of God's indignation. Felix grew
very white about tin* lips. }H.s heart
beat pm*venly. He put Ids Ipmd to his
brow as though to stop the quickness
%nd violence of }ds thoughts. Jin drew
his tots: tightef about him, as under a
sudden chill. Jli* eyes glare, and his
knees shake, and as he clutches the side
of his chair in a very paroxysm of terror i
ho orders the sheriff to take Paul hack
to the guardroom. "Felix trembled and
said; (io thy way for this time. When
J have a convenient season, I will call
for fins*. ”
A young man came one night to our
services, with pencil in hand, to carica
ture the whole seem* and make mirth of
those who should express any anxiety
about their souls, hut I met him at the
door, his face very white, tears running
down Ids cluck, as he said, "Do you
think there is any chance for me?" Fe
lix trembled, and so may God grant it
may he so with others.
< IIiikIuk •'> Their Sins.
I propose to give you two or three
reasons why I think Felix sent Paul
back to the guardroom and adjourned
this whole subject of religion. The first
reason was, he did not want to give up
bis sins. He looked around. There was I
Drusilla. He knew that when lie l**-
came a Christian he must send her hack
to Azizas, her lawful husband, and ho
•aid to himself, "I will risk the destruc
tion of my Immortal soul sooner than
I will do that." How many then* are
now who cannot get to Is* ('hristians
because they will not abandon their
bIurI In vain all their prayers and a}l
{heir cnnrchgoing. yon cannot keep
darling sins and win heaven, and
ppw some of you will have to decide i
between the wine cup and unlawful ,
amusements and lascivious gratifica
tions on the one hand and eternal sal
vation on the other.
Delilah sheared the locks of Sninsou;
Salome danced Herod into the pit|
Drusilla blocked np the way to hcavcq
for Felix. Yet when J present the sub
ject now I fear that some of yon will
•ayi "Not quite yet. Don't he so pre
cipitate in your demands. 1 have a few
tickets yet that I have to use. I have a
few engagements that 1 mutt keepi I
want to stay a little longer in the whirl
of conviviality—a few more guffaws of
unclean laughter, a few more steps on
tho road to death, and then, -ir, I will
listen to what you say. 'Go thy way for
this time. When 1 have a convenient
•eason, 1 will call for thee.’ ”
Another reason why Felix sent Paul
to the guardroom and adjourned this suh-
ut was he was so very busy. In ordi
nary times ho found tin* affairs of statu
absorbing, bnt those wei«* extraordinary
times, whole land was ripe for in
surrection. The Sicarii, a hand of assas
sins. wern already prowling around tho
t A- gnpyose h< thought, "I

God because they have so much busi
ness. It is business in the sl«*riv~lns>cs,

••ISo Thy V.'ny I nr Tl»i« TijiM .**
It is business in your law oflin —
ponnas, writs you have to writi out
js-rs yon have to file, ai .;uiacnt>
h.vvc to make. It is your medical
fession, with its broken nights am
exhausted anxieties ot Ini hanging
upon your treatment. It is your real es
tate office, your business with landlords
and tenants and the failure of men to
meet their obligations with you. Aye,
with some of those who arc here it is
the annoyance of the kitchen, and tho
sitting room, and the parlor—the wear
ing economy of trying to meet large ex
penses with a small income. Ten thou
sand voices of "business, business, busi
ness” droW'n the voice of the eternal
Spirit, silencing the voice of the advanc
ing judgment day, overcoming the voice
of eternity, and they cannot hear; they
cannot listen. They say, "Go luy way
for this time." Some of you l'«*k upon
your goods, look epon your protession,
you look upi*i your menioratulum hooks,
and you see the demands that are made
this very week upon your time v.ed your
path'lice and your money, m’d while I
am entreating you about ymir s til and
the danger of proerastination yon say:
"Go thy way for this time. When 1 have
a convenient season,! will rail lor thee.
Oh, Felix, why he bothered about tint
affairs of this world so much mote thru
about tie- affairs of eternity? Do you net
know that when death emnes you will
have to stop business, though it be in
the most exacting period of it—b rvei u
the payment of the money and the tak
ing of the receipt? The moment In*
comes you will have to go. Death
waits for no man, however high, how
ever low. Will you put your office,
will you put your shop in comparison
with the affairs of an eternal world,
affairs that involve throne>, palaces
dominions eternal? Will you put x'otl
acres of ground against immensity?
Will yon put 40 or .Vl years ot your
life against millions of ages? <>T. ITTix,
you might better postpone evrything
else, for tlo you not know tha; f • up
holstering of Tyrian purple in your pal
ace will fade, and the marble
Cscearen will crumble, and tin
ter at the beach, made of gr
of stone 00 feet long, must i
before the perpetual wa; !l of
but the redemption that Paul
will he forever? And yet am
yet you wave him hack to tin* gt
room, saving; "Go thy way for
time. When 1 h avc a eouvi nu nt

son in midlife, and I say, "Seek

He says, "Wait until I anion my dying

His hist moments have come, 1 bend

thev are by the motion of his lips, ho is
so feeble, hut rallying himself he whis
pers until 1 ran hear him sny, "I—am
waiting—for—a — nion—convenient

Now Ih th«* Tlmr,
I can tell you when your convenient
. season will come. 1 can tell you the
; year. It will be IK',14. I can tell you
what kind of a day it will Ik*. It will
be tin* Sabbath day. I can tell yon what
hour it w ill Is*. It will be between K and
10 o'ehs'k. In other words, it is now.
Do you ask me how I know this is your
convenient season? 1 know it because
you are here, and because flu* Holy
Spirit is here, and because the elect som
and daughters of God nro praying for
your redemption. Ah, I know it is your
convenient season because some of you,
like Felix, tremble as all your past life
comes upon you with its sin, and all the
future life conics upon you with its ter
ror. This night nirisaghire with torch
es to show you up or to show von down.
It is rustling with wings to lift you
j into light or smite you intodispair, and
I there is a rushing to and for, and a beat
ing against the door of your souls with
| a great thunder of emphasis, b llingyou,
i "Now, now is the best time, as it may
j be the only time. ”
May God Almighty forbid that any of
! you, my brethren or sisters, net the part
j of Felix and Drusilla and put away this
great subject. If you are going to bo
saved ever, why not begin tonight?
Throw down your sins and take tho
Lord's pardon. Christ has been tramp
ing after you many a day. An Indian
j and a white man became Christians,
i The Indian, almost as somi as he heard
the gospel, believed and was saved, but
| the white man struggled on in darkness
for a long while before he found light.
After their peace in Christ the white
man -aid to flu* Indian, "Why was it
I that 1 was kept se long in the dark
ness and yon immediately found peace?"
The Indian replied: "I will tell yen. A
prince conics along, and he offers you a
! coat. You look at your coat, and you
| say, 'My coat is good enough, ’ and yon
refuse his offer, but tin* prince comes
' along, and In* offers me tho coat, ami 1
leek at my old blanket, and I throw that
away and tako his offer. You, sir,"
continued the Indian, "aro flinging to
your own righteousness, you think yon
tire good enough, and you keep your
own righteonness, hut I have nothing,
nothing, and so when Jesus offers me
pardon and peace I simply take it."
My reader, why not now threw away
the wurneut blanket of your sin and
take the rols* of a Saviour’s righteous-
in--—a robe se white, : 11 fair, so lus-
trous, that no fuller on earth ran whit*
in it? O Shepheid, tonight bring
heme the lost sheep! () Father, to
night give a welcoming kiss to the wan
prodigal! O friend of Lazarus, tonight
break dewn the door of the sepulcher
and say te all these dead souls as by ir
resistible li,.t: “Live! Live!”

Weather Crop Bulletin No. io.
Approximately normal or seasonable
temperatures prevailed during tin*
past week, it being relatively cooler
near tIn* coast than in the interior. I
At t’harlestoii the week averaged one i
degree a day cooler than seasonable
while westward there was an average,
excess of t wo degrees a day. There
were one or two rut her cool nights,
but mi t be whole t lie teniperat lire was
favorable. There was very lit t le cloud
iness except on Wednesday the tilh.
when the sky was overcast during the
afternoon. The sunshine average ’
about ffu per cent, for tin; State.
tin Wednesday (tit b) afternoon and
night there were scattered, light
showers in various portions of the !
State, blit they Were entirely two
light to relieve t he droughth. amoun
ting at no place to more than 0..dl
inch,and generally not more than a
sprinkle. The normal amount for the
first week in.lime is approximately
one inch. Over many portions of tIn
state t here has been no rain that
moistened t in* soil deeper than an
inch or so, since about the 2lMli of
May and the previous rainfall laid
imt left the ground in condition to
st a ml a prolonged drought as the
comparative record- at Charleston
and Columbia will show. At Charles- 1
ton tlie average rainfall from March
1st to June lotli is Iff. IT inches, this
y ear lhe rainfall has been .’».7S inches.
At < ’olumbia t he comparison is equal
ly unfavorable. Average from March
1st to date Iff. Iff inches, rainfall this
year. March 1st to date IN inches
making n deficiency of S. Id inches.
The elieets of this deficiency in rain
fall are felt mostly by the cereal
crops, except possibly corn and rice,
grasses, gardens, etc., or in general
terms, food and forage crops which
stand in urgent need of rain to pre
vent them from being inure nr less
failures. Pastures arc dying out with
no new growth to replace the grass
cropped. Grasses for haymaking no
growth. Cow peas are being sown
on stubble and in corn fields, but not
as generally as they would be were
the soil in better condition. Oats
harvest continues in sections and
spring sown oats are very poor. Ches
terfield is the only county that re
ports a big crop. Wheat being cut
very green in western counties with
prospect of poor yield. Threshing
begun in parts of the Stale with
yields that indicate from one-foiirlli
to one-half a crop in yield per acre.
Tile weather lias been llllexeeptional
for harvesting oats and wheat.
Potatoes not doing well, too dry.
The setting of sweet potato sprouts
praet ieully suspended on account of
drvncss. Bice is doing fairly well on
bottom lands, but rather poorly on
higher ground. Tobacco is not keep
ing up tin* good showing previous.y 1
made. Melons are not growing well,
although sotm* good fields are re
ported. Gardens are dying out and
stand in tin* utmost need of rain.
Corn continues to look healthy, but
is small and making little or no
growth. Should the dry weather
continue much longer it will materi
ally injure the corn crop.
Cotton ha< generally improved in
appearance under the intluenee of
higher temperature with a fairly good
stand, but continues very small and
backward. It seemingly stands the
drought better than other crops.
Cultivated fields are clean and well
worked. Willi good soaking rain-
crops would make rapid improve- '
ment.
