LIKE SALT IN ITS PRESERVATIVE
UUALITY.
Dr. 'l'nlniN(s:«- Dratt M I on|ii r^iMon From
it 4 rjMtiil—Itt-IiKloii a I’lli'llier of
Hod., and Soul—No Sliiai-r ilejoiid
‘ lln Influence.
Wasiiinoiox, July 8.— Dr. Tannage
is now traveling in Norway, where lie
lias been deeply interested In the nat
ural phenomena and the quaint social
life of that wonderful land. In his dis
course this week he argues, contrary
to the opinion of many, that religion is
an active principle which works con
stantly for the welfare of body and
mind and soul. His text is Luke xiv,
154. “Salt Is good.”
The Bible is a dictionary of the lln-
est similes. It employs, among liv
ing creatures, storks and eagles and
doves and unicorns and sheep and'eat-
tlo; among trees, sycamores and tere
binths and pomegranates and almonds
and apples; among jewels, pearls and
amethysts and jacinths and chryso-
prases. Christ uses no stale illustra
tions. The lilies that he plucks in his
discourse arc dewy fresh; the ravens in
his discourses are not stuffed speci
mens of birds, but warm with life
from wing tip to wing tip; the fish he
points to are not dull about the gills, as
though long .captured, but a-squlrm in
the wet net just brought up on the
beach of Tiberias. In my text,"which
is the pe roration of one of his sermons,
he picks up a crystal and holds it be
fore his congregation as an illustration
of divine grace in the heart when he
says what we all know by experiment,
“Salt is goad.”
flcnnticx »f Salt.
I shall try to carry out the Saviour’s
Idea in this text and in the lirst place
say to you that grace is like salt in its
i beauty. In Halicia there are mines of
| salt with excavations and underground
! passages reaching, I am told, HSU miles,
j Far underground there are chapels and
| halls of reception, the columns, the nl-
j tars and the pulpits of salt. When the
! king and the princes come to visit
1 these mines, the whole place is illumi-
i nated, and the glory of crystal walls
j and crystal ceilings and crystal floors
i and crystal columns, under the glare
i of the torches and the lamps, needs
] words of crystal to describe it. But
| you need not go so far as that to find
the beauty of salt. Vou live in a land
! which produces millions of bus!' Vs of
| it in a year, and you can I the
' morning rail train and in a few hours
I get to tin; salt mines and salt springs,
and y u have this article morning,
uarlly a mere snperfldlty, a string of
bells around a horse’s neck while he
draws th>' load and In imiwIsq helping
liiaunv
him to draw it. So fuj^ffoju that, I de
clare the grace of <4od to lie the first
and the last neeessijty. It is food we
must take or starve into an eternity of
famine. It is clothing, without which
we freeze to the mast of infinite terror.
It is the plank, and the only plank, on
which we can float shoreward. It is
the ladder, and the only ladder, on
which we c*an climb up Into the light.
It Is a positive necessity for the soul.
You can tell very easily what the effect
•
would be If a person refused to take
salt into the l>*dy. The energies-would
fail, the lungs would struggle with the
air,‘slow fevers would efawl through
the brain, the heart would flutter, and
the life would be gone. Salt, a neces
sity for the life of the body; the grace
of (Jod, a necessity for the life of the
soul!
Again, 1 remark that grace is like salt
in abundance. (Jod has strewn salt in
vast profusion all over the continents.
Russia seems built on a saltcellar.
There is one region of that country
that turns out 90,000 tons in a year.
England and Russia and Italy have in
exhaustible resources in this respect.
Norway and Sweden, white with snow
above, white with salt beneath. Aus
tria, yielding 900,000 tons annually.
Niarly all the nations rich in it—rock
salt, spring salt, sea salt. Christ, the
Creator of the world, when he uttered
our text, knew it would become more
and more significant as the shafts were
sunk, and the springs were bored, and
the pumps were worked, and the crys
tals were gathered. So the grace of
Cod is abundant. It is for all lands,
for all ages, for all conditions. It seems
to undergirl everything—pardon for
the worst sin, comfort for the sharpest
suffering, brightest light for the thick
est darkness. Around about the salt
lakes of Saratov there are IG.QOO men
toiling day and night, and yet they
never exhaust the saline treasures.
And if the 1,900,000,000 of our race
should now cry out to Cod for his mer
cy there would be enough for all--for
tiio.se furthest gone in sin, for the mur
derer standing on the drop of the gal
lows. It is an ocean of mercy, and if
Europe and Asia, Africa, North and
South America and all the Islands of
the sea went down in it today they
Would have room enough to wash and
come up clean. Let no man think that
his ease is too tough a one for Cod to
aet upon. Though your sin may be
deep and raging, lot me tell you that
Cod’s grace is a bridge not built on
earthly piers, but suspended and span
ning the awful chasm of your guilt,
ono end resting upon the rock of eter
nal promises and the other on the foun
dations of heaven. Demetrius wore a
robe so inerustod with jewels that no
one after him ever dared to wear it,
but our King. Jesus, takes off the robe
of his righteousness, a robe blood dyed
and heaven impended, and reaches it
cut to the worst wretch In all the earth
and says: “But that on! Wear it now!
Wear it forever!’*
The Urnce of God.
Again, the grace of Cod is like salt
la the way we come at it. The salt on
the surface is almost always impure—
that which incrusts the Rocky moun
tains and the South American pampas
and in India—but the miners go down
through the shafts and through the
dark labyrinths and along by galleries
of rock and, witli torches and pickaxes,
find their way under the very founda
tions of the earth to where the salt lies
that makes up the nation’s wealth. To
get to the best saline springs of the
earth lingo machinery goes down, bor
ing depth below depth, depth below
depth, until from under the very roots
of the mountains the saline water sup
plies the aqueduct. This water is
brought to tlie surface and is exposed
in tanks to the sun for evaporation, or
it is put in boilers mightily heated, and
the water evaporates, and the suit
gathers at the bottom of the tank. The
work is completed, and the fortune is
made. So with the grace of Cod. It is
to be profoundly sought after. With
all the concentered energies of body,
mind and soul we must dig for it. No
man stumbles accidentally on it. We
need to go down to the very lowest
strata of earnestness and faith to find
it. Superficial exploration will not turn
it up. We must strive and implore and
dig until we strike the spring foaming
with living waters. Then the work of
evaporation begins, and as, when the
saline waters are exposed to the sun
the vapors float away, leaving nothing
but the pure white salt at the bottom
of the tank, so, when the Christian's
soul Is exposiMl to the Sun of Righteous
ness, the vapors of pride and selfish
ness and worldliness float off and there
is chiefly left beneath pure white holi
ness of heart. Then, as in the ease of
the salt, the furnace is added. Blazing
troubles, stirred by smutted stokers of
darkness, quicken the evaporation of
worldliness and the crystallization of
grace.
I*owitful I’rcBervntlve.
Have you net been In enough trouble
to have that work go on? J was read
ing of Aristotle, who said there was a
field of flowers in Sicily so sweet that
once a hound, coming on the track of
game, came to jliat field and was be
wildered by the perfumes and so lost
the truck. Oh, that our souls might
become like “a field which the Lord
hath blessed” and exhale so much of
the sweetness of Christian character
that thr hounds of temptation, coming
on our track, might lose it and go howl
ing back witli disappointment!
But 1 remark again that the grace of
Cod Is like the sail in its preservative
quality. You know that salt absorbs
the moisture of articles of food and
infuses them tOlh brine, Which pre
serves them for u long while. Kail is
the great untlputrefuetor of the world.
Experimenters, in preserving wood,
have tried sugar ami smoke and air-
tight jars and everything else, but as
long as the world stands Christ's words
will be suggestive, and men will admit
jhat as a great preservative “salt is
good.” But for the grace of Cod the
earth Mnii|d have become n stale ear-
euss long before this. That grace Is
the only preservative of laws and con
stitutions and literatures. Just as soon
us a government loses this salt of dl*
vine grace it perishes. Tljo philosophy
of this day, so fur us It Is antagonistic
to this religlop, putrefies and stinks.

It is beautiful to the naked eye, but

! bridges of lire as the sun glints them.
There-Is mom architectural skill In one
of those crystals of salt limn human
ingenuity.has ever demonstrated In an
Alhambra or St. Baler’s.
It would take all time, with an In
fringement upon eternity, for an angel
of Hod to tell one-half the glories in a
unit crystal. So with the grace of Hod;
it is perfectly beautiful. I have seen
it smooth out wrinkles of care from the
brow; I have seen it make an aged
j man feel almost young again; 1 have
seen it lift the stooping shoulders and
put sparkle into the dull eye. Solomon
discovered Us therapeutic qualities
when ho said, “It Is marrow to. the
hones.” It helps to digest the food and
to purify the blood and to calm the
pulses and quiet the spleen, and In-
slead of Tyndall's prayer test of 20
years ago, putting a man In a philo
sophic:;! hospital to be experimented
upon by prayer, it keeps him so well
Hint he does not need to be prayed for
as an Invalid. I am speaking now of a
healthy religion—not of that morbid
religion that sits for three hours on a
gravestone reading Hervey’s “.Medita
tions Among tlie Tombs”—a religion
that prospers best in a bad state of the
liver! 1 speak of the religion that
Christ preached. 1 suppose, when that
religion lias conquered tlie world, that
disease will be banished and that a
nan 100 years of age will come in
from business and say, "I am tired; I
think it must be time for mo to go,”
and without one physical pang heaven
will have him.
But the chief beauty of grace is In
the soul. It takes that which was hard
and cold find repulsive and makes it
all over again. It pours upon one’s na
ture what David calls “the beauty of
holiness.” It extirpates everything
that is hateful and unclean. If jeal
ousy and pride and lust and worldli-
ness lurk about, they are chained and
have a very tunal! swoop. Jesus throws
upon tlie soul the fragrance of a sum
mer garden as he comes in, saying, "1
am the Rose of Sharon,” and he suh-
jUhgry.s it with the glory of a spring
J‘ pig as he says, "I am tlie light.”
ow much that grace did for the
Johns! It took John Runyan,
il iiiotphcd. and made him John
i, tlie iiuiiuu'iii! dreamer; it took
uonn Newton, tlie infidel sailor, umj iq
the midst of the hurricane made him
cry out, “AJy mother's (Jod. have mer
cy upon me!” It took John Hummer-
licld from a life of sin and by tlie hand
of a Christian maker of edge tools led
him into tlie pulpit that hums still
with the light of that Christian elo
quence which charmed thousands to
the Jesus whom lie once despised. Ah,
you may search all tlie earth over for
anything so beautiful oy beautifying

and amid the underground kingdoms

thing so exquisite, so transcendently

Power of Gruoe.
Again, grace Is like sqlt In the fact
that '» is a uecesslly of life, Man and
beast perish without salt. What are
those paths across the western prai
ries? Why, they were made there by
fleer and buffalo going to and coining
away I'roin tlie salt “licks." ChemistH
and physicians all tlie world over tell
us Ilnil sail is a necessity of life. And
so tyith the grace of God; you must

have failed to do their work, but urdl-
science that tbo God of the universe Is
the God of the Bible. How strange.it
is that in all their magnificent sweep
of llie tdei eope they have not seen the
morning star of Jesus and that In all
their experiments with light and heat
they have not seen the light and felt
the warmth of the Sun of Righteous
ness! We want more of the salt of
God’s grace in our homes, in our
schools, In our colleges, In our social
life, in our Christianity. And that
which lias it will live; that which has
it not will die. I proclaim the tenden
cy of everything earthly to putrefac
tion and death, the religion of Christ
the only preservative.
My subject is one of great congratu
lation to those who have within their
souls this gospel antiseptic. This suit
will preserve them through tlie tempta
tions and sorrows of life and through
tlie ages of eternity. I do not mean to
say that you will have a smooth time
because you are a Christian. On the
contrary, if you do your whole duty I
will promise you a rough time. You
march through an enemy’s country,
and they will try to double up botli
flunks and to cut you off from your
sourco of supplies. The war you wage
will not be with toy arrows, but sword
plunged to the hilt and spurring on
your steed over heaps of the slain. But
1 think that God omnipotent will see
you through. 1 think he will. But
why do 1 talk like an atheist when I
ought to say I know he will? “Kept
by the power of God through faith un
to complete salvation.”
fliriNt'ii CioNix-l,
When Governor Geary of Pennsylva
nia died years ago, I lost a good friend.
Ho impressed me mightily with the
horrors of war. In the eight hours that
we rode together in the ears he recited
to me the scenes through which he had
passed in the civil war. He said that
there came one battle upon which ev
erything seemed to pivot. Telegrams
from Washington said that tlie life of
the nation depended on that struggle.
He said to me: "I went into that battle,
sir, with my son. His mother and I
thought everything of him. You know
how a father will feel toward hi* son
who is coming up manly and brave and
good. Well, the battle opened and con
centered, and it Mas awful. Horses
and riders bent and twisted and piled
up together. It was awful, sir. We
quit firing and took to tlie point of the
bayonet. Well, sir, 1 didn’t feel like
myself that day. I had prayed to God
for strength for that particular battle,
and l went into It feeling that 1 had in
my right arm the strength of ten gi
ants,” and as tlie governor brought his
arm down on the hack of the seat it
fairly made the ear tremble. “Well,”
lie said, “the battle was desperate, mt
after awhile we gained a little, and we
marched on a little. I turned round to
the troops and shouted, ‘Come on,
boys!’ and I stepped across a dead sol
dier, and lo it was my son! I saw at
the first glance lie was dead, and yet I
did not dare (o stop a minute, for tlie
crisis had come in tlie battle, so I Just
got down on my knees, and 1 threw
my arms around him, and 1 gave him
one good kiss and said, ‘Goodby, dear,’
and sprang up and shouted, ‘Come on,
boys!’” So it is.in the Christian con
flict. It is a fieace fight. Heaven Is
waiting for the bulletins to announce
the tremendous Issue. Hail of shot,
gash of saber, fall of battleax, groan
ing on every side. We cannot stop for
loss or bereavement or anything else.
With one ardent embrace and loving
kiss we litter our farewells and then
cry: “Come on, boys! There are other
h ights to be captured, there are other
foes to be conquered, there are other
crow ns to be won.”
Yet as one of the Lord’s surgeons 1
must bind up two or three wounds.
Just lift them now, whatever they he.
1 have been told there is nothing like
salt to stop the bleeding of a wound,
and so 1 take this salt of Christ’s gos
pel and put it on the laconited soul. It
smarts a little at first, but see, the
bleeding stops, and lo the flesh cornea
again as the flesh of a little child!
“Salt is good.” “Comfort one another
with these words.”

CAROLINA’S GOVERNORSHIP.
Candidates Se"k the Indorsement of
Senator Tillman.
Columbia, S. C., July 6.—Politicians
are puzzled over tho situation in the
governorship contest. There are four
candidates, any one of whom have a
fighting chance, and it is impossiblo to
say which one is the strongest man. So
fur it has been impossible to form an cs-
tiuiute of their individual strength. It
is a neck and nock race between Hoyt,
Gary, MeSweenoy and Patterson. That
Hoyt is a very strong man is evidenced
at each campaign meeting, while the
>amo tiling also applies to Gary, while
MeSweenoy's friends show plainly that,
thus far, the campaign has been a dis
appointment to them, but state that,
being the only straightout dispensary
candidate, Senator Tillman will throw
his support to tho governor, thus insur
ing his .success.
It is also apparent that other candi
dates are seeking tlie indorsement of
Senator Tillman, who thus iur lias re
frained from expressing any preference.
There are some who state that no
matter who Tillman supports, it will
have little effect on tho general result,
as it is more the man 4ml his qualifica
tions for the office than his platform,
But Senator Tillman's influence In
the rural districts is well kuown, and
should ho declare for cither of tho can
didates, it is safe to state that his mau
wiU be in tlie second primary.
Quiet Prevails at Walterboro.
Waltkuuoro, s. O., July 0.—What

tlie killing of Joe Brock and the serious
wounding of ^ oung Beach. The lead
ers of both races counselled moderation,
while the presence of the militia held
the negroes in check.

resumed business next morning,
though not at the old stand, which is
a heap of smouldered ashes. While
the firemen were yet pouring water on
the burning Chenango street estab

to do business somewhere else.
That this great industry might not
be crippled for a moment, through
the courtesy of other prominent firms
and citizens, the large factory and
adjoining buildings on South street
were vacated for the benefit of tlie
Swamp Root people, and possession
Mas taken immediately, and here, by

three new buildings as additions to
their largo plant here. These build
ings give tlie company over two acres
of floor space and make tlie plant tlie
second largest in the world devoted
to tbo proprietary medicine buisness.
In moving into this modern iquip-
merit, the medicine company lias in-
s'ulled a complete electrics) plant for
operating Its machinery, improved
electric motors being located in each
building. An autnmutic sprinkler
outfit, which is considered an absolute
prev< ntive of loss by (Ire has also been
erected.
Tills great business is rapidly ex
tending to foreign fit Ids, a shipment

A CHALLENGE.
Mr Hickson Hucklcs on His Armor to <lo
Hattie,
lo Gakknky Leijolk :—I desire to
say a few things through y<>ur col
umns to my friends in Cherokee
county concerning the issue outlie
liquor question now being made in
South Carolina. It has been a very
great supprise to me to hear a num
ber of people (some of them prohibi
tionist) .saying tbat the people of
Cherokee county are overwhelmingly
in favor of liquor. While it is true
that we have our share of bud people
In this county, it is my deliberate
opinion that we have a fair popula
tion of good people, and I want to
defend Cherokee county aguiust th*-
•imputation that we are in lliu power
of the bad.
It is claimed that the last election
for members of the legislature proved
our people to bo opposed to prohibi
tion anddn favor of Hie dispensary
because Mr. McCiaw who was
avowedly in favor of the dispensary
was elected and Dr. Hamrick who
was avowedly in favor of prohibition
was defeated.
On account of press of labor with
my churches I was unable to take
any part in tlie campaign which was
made for prohibition in Hiis county
last election. But it is my opinion
that Mr. Craw lost as munV (or more)
votes by his advocacy of liquor as lie
gained. However, that may be I
hear and now challenge Mr. McCraw
or any other man to make tho run
for the legislature as the champion of
iiquor. As it will greatly interfere
with my work in my churches to can
vass the county, it, u campaign on
the stand I would greatly prefer that
he or any one who advocates that
side join issue with me in the col
umns of the The Ledger. But if tin y
will not do that I will meet them at
ev-.Ty point appointed for speaking in
the county campaign and discuss the
question witli them. if Hie matter
is fairly and clearly presented to cur
people I don’t believe the muj ritv
of them will vote for liquor.
If the liquor men have a champion
in this county let him now come
forth.
It they have one and he will not
make an open fight but seeks to de
feat us by a less honorable mode of
warfare, let me exhort the good peo-
ph-of this county to keep diligent
watch—lei us take to the woods and
catch the fox.
\\ liether any ono joins issue with
mo or not, I want to ask the use of
your columns to show to our people
that it is thrir patriotic and religious
dutj to vote for the prohibition can
didate in this election.
Respectfully,
F. ('. Hickson.
