AS A BRAND FROM
THE BURNING.
Rev. Thos. Lcitch Tells of His
Conversion.
V7AS SAVED BY A TOUCH.
Drunken and Degraded, Without Friends
and Almost Without Hope. He Wandered
Into a Hainan’s Christian Temperance
Society Meeting.
“On several occasions when ut re
ligious and temperance meetings, 1
have been requested to give mv ex
perience and tell how God in Ilia love
and mercy snatched me as a brand
from the burning. That I have been
saved from a life of sin and sulleriog,
which no words can express, and
from eternal damnation, there can be
no doubt; and knowing that there
arc many of my fellow men strug
gling to overcome ttie terrible appe
tite for strong drink, and often bav
ing felt as they now feei, abandoned
by God, forsaken by man, and over
come by despair, I will, for their
benefit, draw the curtain which veils
my past, life, and let them see the
great things which God has done for
me, and will do for them if they
earnestly desire of Him and truly re
pent.
“Let me say to all such, and T care
not how abandoned they may be,
that there is hope—yea, thank God, a
way of escape—for even the poor
broken down, despised sot of the gut-
t r, who is willing to be saved. There
are but few who can be worse than 1
have been, f look back through llie
bhadoxvy mists of departed years and
call to mind that from early boyhood
I loved the taste of whiskey, brandy,
and most every kind of liquor that
can intoxicate. While at school I
had no opportunity for satisfying thij
craving, hut as soon as restraint was
thrown of, and with none to counsel
or check me, 1 had everything my
own way. I naturally sought for
companions among those of like tem
perament with myself, who, at that
time, could bo found in every fire
engine house in the city of Charles
ton. 1 started to drink to excess
when 1 was but fifteen years of age,
and when 1 reached my majority J
was a confirmed drunkard. Most
young men look forward to the period
which brings them to the threshold
of manhood with mingled feelings of
•pride and pleasure. 1 could only look
hack to a dark gulf through which 1
had passed, and shut my eyes to a
future which appeared darker still.
Fifteen years of my life appear to me
as a terrible dream. When I call to
mind and relate the many times I
have been snatched from the jaws of
sudden death, the many narrow
escapes I have made from murderous
blows aimed at me, and from acci
dent. (I have been beaten, kicked and
bruised until the blood ran in crim
son streams from my wounds), I am
a wonder to myseif and my family.
“I know that there is a great deal
of sympathy manifested fur the poor
drunkard, hut until this cold, creep
ing, soul destroying reptile enters our
home and coils its merciless body
around some loved one, then, and
Only then, can real sympathy be felt
for those bound by the hellish uppe-
tite of strong drink. How often have
1 tried in my strength to throw oil
the yoke, when my best efforts seem
ed only to fasten it stronger around
me. 1 joined temperance societies,
hoping by the aid of their counsel
and inlluenoe to break my bonds and
lead a sober life. 1 have taken
pledges which have enabled me to
hold out for a short time, but sooner
or later 1 would again lind myself in
tlie clutches of the demon, sinking
lower and lower.
A IIOMKJ.ESS W.WDKHKK.
“It was during the period of so
briety that 1 married, and I think my
determination then to lead a useful
life was earnest, but not even the
inlluence of u true and devoted wife
seemed strong enough to check my
downward course. 1 drank myself
out of house and homo, and my wife
and baby boy were compelled to seek
shelter and sustenance under the root
of her parents, who denied me admit
tance. I, however, had no unkind
words for any one, for 1 felt that I
hud deserved all 1 was compelled to
suffer. With that indescribable feel
ing of loneliness which borders on
despair I determined to leave home
and family, with the hope that when
freed from my drinking associates I
would be able to reform. Through
the kindness of a gentleman, who hud
been my employer some years before,
I succeeded in getting a passage to
New York on the BJth of May, iST'd.
In order to celebrate the event of my
departure, 1 got drunie, and was vt ry
much intoxicated when the steamer
started from the dock. During the
passage 1 could get no more liquor,
and suffered torments which J believe
only the damned can sutler. My
intention was, whet. I left Charles
ton, to sober up when 1 reached New
York, but the boat hud scarcely lan-
ded ut the pier when I found myself
moving rapidly in the direction of the
nearest barroom. All my promises
and good resolutions—all my hopes
dashed to the ground—and for seven
months i was led captive by that
tm rciless tyrant calicil King Alcohol.
One day, while sad and dejected, with
an inward fueling that there was no
more hope for me in this world and
possible none in the next, and that I
was doomed to live and die a drunk
ard, J wandered aimlessly about the
Htr*< ts of Bio jlkyn. Bussing through
HVnuuit street, my attention was
attracted to a transparency above the
door of a church. I crossed over and
read, “Gospel Temperance meeting
every Saturday night ut half-past
seven. Seats free. Strangers cor
dially invited to attend.’’ I knew
little or nothing about religion, but
tt 11 1 felt that unless some super
natural power helped me, 1 must
continue logo to the bud. Two weeks
later I managed to find the ihurch
and was tlie lirsl one present that
evening. In a short time the people
began to assemble. I bud never been
in a meeting of the kind before, but
any place i thought was better than
the dens of iniquity about tne streets,
which, outside the church, were
about tho only places open to me.
Soon the congregation began to sing,
and oh, how my poor crushed heart
throbbed and swelled with emotion,
for it was the lirst time that the
strains of sacred music had greeted
my ear in many and many a day On
inquiry l learned that the meeting
was under the auspices of the
WOM A NS CltKiSTI AN TK.M I’UK A.NC'K IN I OX.
“On this occasion the meeting was
led by a gentleman who spoke forci
bly concerning the evils of intemper
ance, and closed by saying in sub
stance that he had been a hard drink
ing man, and found that he could
never give up the habit by any effort
of his own; but when he went to God
it. his weakness his prayer for mercy
was answered, and for years he had
been kept by that same unseen but
ever present Power. I listened atten
tively to the speaker’s words, and
felt that I would give the world if 1
possessed it for a similar experience.
A cordial invitation was extended to
all to speak who desired to do so. and
many arose a nil spoke in turn of the
love of Jesus and how they had been
saved. Men who had spent years in
prison, and women who had been led
astray, spoke- of the mercy of Gsd in
pardoning their sins. Oh, how I
wanted this mighty Physician to
effect just such a cure in me.
“During the closing ceremonies the
leader a-ked those who desired to be
prayed for to held up their hand.
M\ hand went up among the lirst.
J did not need any coax.ng or plead
ing, for I felt if any poor fellow
needed the prayers of Christian
people I did.
savki) i:y a Torch.
“The meeting closed and I was
about to leave the bu.lding, when I
felt some one touch ne on the arm.
Being a stranger, I .bought it was
only the press of the crowd, and con
tinued to move on but feeling the
touch again I turneu and saw a young
Judy standing ut my elbow. She
asked rno if I was u Christian. I
answered, “No.” She then asked
me if I did not want to become one.
I said, “Yes.” She invited me back
into the chnrch, and after conducting
me to a seat, inquired if I had ever
prayed? I replied that I had tried
to pray, but did not know how, that
1 had no idea what God was, or how
to approach him; I thought him to
be a mighty king and ruler. “Ah,”
she said, “my young friend, He is all
that, but you and I are not to ap
proach him in that way. Suppose
you were a child again, and had
violated some rule or command of
your mother, and suppose you went
to her, and, with your arms around
her neck confessed your disobedience,
would not your mother forgive you?
This is the way God would have us
come to him.
“Like many other children, I had
occasionally attended Sunday school,
and during a portion of my childhood
was brought up under Christian in
fluences; but tins was the first time
any one had made a personal appeal
to me in reference to my soul. I was
asked to keel in prayer, and did so,
hut my heart, during the earnest
appeal that went heavenward for me,
seemed as cold and dead as the silent
tombs in tiie cemeteries without.
With warm words of comfort and an
invitation to attend a meeting at the
Court Square Theatre, tho young
lady bade me good-night.
• “Everybody had now left the
church except the leader and a friend,
who was waiting on him. The former
approached rno and asked me if the
matter was settled. I told him I felt
no change. We again knelt in
prayer, and he called on his-rfriend to
to pray. His prayer affected me
singularly, for 1 felt when he was
praying that lie doubted my sincerity.
It was then and there that I made
my first heartfelt prayer, in tho fol
lowing simple words: ”0 God, you
know that 1 am in earnest in this
matter!” We separated and I went
my way, dissatisfied and feeling that
there must have been something
radically wrong in my attempt at
repentance. “Could it be,” I
thought, “that I had sinned away
my day of grace? Had i committed
the unpardonable sin? Or why was
it that 1, who was so much in need of
the Saviour could not find Him;
while others who had given testimony
declared that in their greatest need
they iiad found Him?”
“Before attempting to close my
eyes that night I knelt and prayed
fervently and long, but it seemed
that God was not ready to hear such
a miserable wretch. 1 then tried to
sleep, but could not. Tho thought
that others had found the Saviour
and that I could not kept my bruin
in too active a state to admit of
repose. Now, as I look back, I can
see how “the Spirit also helpetb our
infirmities,” for in one moment that
heavenly consolation which surpas-
seth all understanding dispelled the
gloom that overshadowed me, and I
received a message, clear and dis-
dinct, as if spoken by human tongue,
“Only believe!” What! 1 thought,
no debt to pay? I have nothing to
pay—only believe? The plan seemed
simple that the enemy who had rol-
bed me of my manhood tried to rob
me of this boon—the only real, per
fect joj 1 bad ever experienced.
“The next day 1 had a hard fight
with doubt and fears, which contin-
'ud until evening, when 1 attended
the meeting at the Court Square
Theatre. While there J was asked
by u lady! if 1 was a Christian, and,
feeling afraid to say yes, told her
what ha l happened tho night before.
She asked mo if 1 had thought to
thank Gud for what He hud done. I
eonfested that 1 had not, and by her
invitation 1 followed her to a private
place in tho theatre, and mo both
knelt, and while this good Christian
was praying the work was done. I
arose from my knees a saved man
and returned to my home in January,
JS80, to tell what great things the
Lord had done for me, and commen
ced ut once to engage in Christian
work, holding meetings in tho jails
and prisons ami on the highways.
In this v\uy 1 obtained my ministerial
education, by coming in contact with
the masses and preaching in the
Vernacular of the day.
<)n tho 10th of September, IKidi,
ten days after tho earthquake in
Charleston, 1 was thrust out into the
evangelistic work; and in October,
1880, I was joined by F. A. Marshall,
who for a number of years hud been
hiding his light under a bushel. Mr.
Marshall received his training as a
singer in the Episcopal choirs of
London, England, but from his dis
sipated habits bad given up his call
ing, and until his conversion in 1883
had, like myself, led the life of a
drunkard. After his conversion he
felt called to work for the LordJ and
at the time of our meeeting he was
preparing hithself for the ministry,
having already procured license to
exhort, but feeling assured that God
could make use of his voice in the
singing of the gospel as well as
preaching, he gave up his prepara
tion to preach and now is singing the
praises of God.
From that ^me God has abundant
ly blessed our united efforts in the
conversion of thousands of^buls and
adding thousands to the membership
of the different churches of the land,
besides giving us the hearty endorse
ment of preachers and Christian peo
ple wherever we have been, and the
fulfilling in our own experience of the
promise. “There is no man that hath
left house or brethren, or sisters, or
father or mother, or wife, or children,
or lands, for my sake, and the gos
pel’s. but he shall receive an hun
dredfold now in this lime, houses,
and brethren, and sisters, and moth
ers. and children, and lands, with
persecutions; and in the world to
p mie eternal life.”—Mark 10:29,30.

years ago that it was necessary to
send to Spartanburg to have embalm

shape of a first-class funeral equip
ment. Now we have two first-class
establishments—Messrs. Carroll, Car

ket to parties in Kings Mountain
Wednesday and went over and em

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC.
A Keal Treat hi Store for the Gaffney Ly
ceum Members.
The Ottumwas, a musical organi
zation, is to appear as the fourth
attraction of the Gaffney Lyceum
Association. They will be at the
Opera House next Thursday nihgt.
Ottumwa is the beautiful Indian
term for “Rippling Water, and the
thrilling power and tender sweetness
of tho Ottumwa’s music renders the
name superlatively appropriate. The
abundant honors thrust upon this
organization from the music loving
public, from the Gulf to the Great
Lakes, and from the classic Bay
State to the breezy Black Hills, have
given this constellation of musicians
the brightest place in the firmament
of America’s quartettes. The har
mony of their voices, the richness
and volume of tone, the scho'arly
rendition of the classics, and their
abundant fun of rich and rollicking
humor, in two hundred concerts and
eight Chautauqua assemblies the past
year, have so charmed twenty-seven
States that their is no hesitancy in
promising that no similar company
will better please the public for the
season of 1900. The Allenton (Pa.)
Chronicle says:
“A large and highly pleased audi
ence was present last night in the
Academy of Music to listen to the
vocalism of Ottumwa Quartette of
Chicago. A recital of this nature is
apt to grow tiresome by the time the
program is half through, but such
was the excellence of the singing thsfc
there was not a wearisome moment
in it. One of their most enjoyable
selections was a hymn, simple us to
melody, but sung with such exquisite
tenderness and depth of feeling that
tears glistened in the eyes of more
than one. In fact, one of the charac
teristic features of their singing lay
in its expression, meaning and sen*
tiraent.”
Prof. Wade R. Brown, of Lime
stone College, says the Ottumwas are
among the best musical talent the
country affords, he having heard
them some time ago. Every member
of the Lyceum should be present
Thursday night and encourage some
one else to attend also.

Caught a Dreadful Cold.
Marion Kooke, manager for T. M.
Thompson, a large importer of fine
millinery at 1658 Milwaukee Avenue,
Chicago, says: “During the late se
vere weather I caught a dreadful cold
which kept me awake at night and
made me unfit to attend my work dur

taking Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
for a severe cold at that time, which
seemed to relieve her so quickly that
I bought some for myseif. It acted
like magic and I began to improve at
once. I am now entirely well and feel
very pleased to acknowledge its mer
its.” For sale by Cherokee Drug Co.

A WHOLEJILLAGE
Attacked by Grip—One Family Es
capes by Using Pe-ru-na.
Winona, Kt.vkk Co., Ind.
During the winter 1 and my fam
ily of six were taken with la grippe.
The disease was'very prevalent at that
time in the village where I resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it.
Our doctors treated it as best they could,
but wore very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. As soon as my faintly wero
taken sick I went to tho drugstore aud
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on tho bottle; and although our
rase-, seemed to bo more than usually
violent in the ouisot, yet our recovery
Was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few If any, were
lick so short a time as myself aud
family. After we were all well we had
jne bottle of Pe-ru-na left.
C. T. Hatfield.
Send for a free copy of “Winter Ca
tarrh.” This book contains a lecture by
Dr. Hartman on la grippe which has
attracted wide attention aud lias been
reported in leading papers. Address Dr.
Hartman, Columbus, Ohio. ,
