From b five letters which compose the word I gave an interesting little talk. They re to buy the Bible, investigate it, ( eve it, live it, and enunciate the t irious message. The children were 3 ed to give him the happy words. t ben the fourth letter was reached a :le girl answered "love" the Bible b iich, though a sweet reply from her, , s not the one desired. A youth gave right word when he said "live" thbe ble. We hope that he may so live the ble as some day to successfully covet e officeof Bishop and become a bright d shining light in the world. Many y the Bible, said Mr. Brown, but1 iparatively few ina4tlgate it, whiie ver still, he feared, believe, live and unciate the Word. We hope that ien Mr. Brown shall have canvassed county every habitation will con n a copy of the Sacred Scriptures, d our whole people, irespective of fr or condition, may both speedily e d truly become a Bible reading and aa ble living people.

To the Editor of The Herald and sews: The manse of the Presbytarian :hurch was invaded by a merry throng )n last Thursday evening. The con ;regation had determined to give the )astor, Rev. J. S. Cozby, a genuine 'surprise party," and just after lamp ight, the door-bell began its clangor, Lod soon the reception rooms were illed to over-flowing by a merry crowd >f grown-up people and little children, vho had come with hearts full, and iands full of happy greetings for the )astor and his family. The North and he South, the East and the West, the ,and and the Sea had been summoned .o pay tribute to the occasion, and right )ounteously did they respond with >undles great and bundles small, until here seemed-not room for all. It vas a joyous occasion which memory viii warmly cherish, not only for the uany substantial gifts which it )rought, but for the kind and warni eeling that inspired it; and the pastor n behalf of himself and family takes his opportunity of expressing their iost hearty thanks to the congrega ion and to those kind friends who inited with them in this generous out )ouring of good will and kind deeds. J. S. CozaY. At the Methodist Church. Last Sunday morning, Rev. Mr. ightman, the minister appointed to ;ucceed Rev. Mr. Stokes, delivered a ;oughtful discourse from the text: 'Be ye filled with the Holy Ghost," tc. Mr. Wightman said that the harge was mandatory, imperative and ibsolutely necessary to a complete .hristian experience. As the divine uossibilities are not limited his desire s that his people shall "lift the latch nd force the way" in the penetralia of :ruth and get within the "inner circle" 5f those who surround the "mystical Dody of Christ," obtaining thereby a rnost full, refined and satisfying realiza tion of Christian experiences. In this connection we wish to allude .o a thought in Rev. Mr. Stokes's fare well to his people. His sermon was Dased upon the text, "Quench not the spirit," etc., and was enforced by ap posite illustrations appropriate to the ccasion. Mr. Stokes expressed the hope that whatever else might be for yotten of his sermon his hearers would remember the command, "Quench not the Spirit." Did not Mr. Wightman happily take Lip the thread by urging that they be "filled with the Spirit"?. Mr. Stokes, by his sweet persuasive ess, broke up the fallow ground upon which the gentle dews of divine.grace have fallen; may it not be hoped that the rugged ploughshare be now driven by the heroic hand of the present pastor until the windows of heaven are >pened for the downpour of a pentecos al shower of heaven's choiecest bless ings? Mr. Wightman's sermcn was a very carnest call to practical, personal work an the part of the laity, and an appeal that all false barriers of restraint be broken down in order that they no Longer hinder the constraining influen es of the Holy Spirit.** Temperance Treat. On Tuesday, January 8th, long before the ringing of the bell, children, (with liberal sprinkling of those of larger growth) could be seen, with expectant faces, wending their way to Thompson Street Church. Asking a "little trot'' what the commotion meant, I was told, "Why, don't you know ? Its treat day for our "Band of Hope." Curiosity prompted me to investigate the matter. So I joined the constantly increasing crowd, and soon found myself at the place of meeting, and Oh, my stars ! Such an array of children, from one year of age up to ninety. A large ban ner with the letters WV. C. T. U. and B. of H. was suspended above the pulpit. The chandeliers and organ were pro fusely trimmed with white ribbons, and immense white japonicas. On a large table in front of the pulpit were numberless neat looking packages, and bags, all colors of the rainbow, were stowed away in every available place. At 3.30 the president called the meet ing to order, and Rev. J. S. Cozby led in prayer. An impromptu choir sang a ringing prohibition song, after which all joined in reading a p)ortion of Scrip ture. Twelve little girls, each repre senting a month in the year, came for ward and wished the assembled crowd a "Happy and prosperous New Year." The year 1889 was called for, and four children dressed in costumes represent ing Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter came forward and "Advised the crow d to take no wvine, In eighteen hundred and eightf-nine." In response to a call from the Presi dent Rev. J. S. Cozby spoke a few well chosen words of pleasant greeting to the children. A fter singing "Bringing in the Sheaves," in which the whole congregation joined, the announcement was made that the time had arrived for the distribution of the presents, and then, how the children's eyes sparkled! Each child received a handsome book and a bag of fruits, candy, etc. 20 books and bags were distributed. After the distribution of presents the bene diction wa pronounced and the little folks went home to wait for the Tem perance Treat of 1890. * 25, 0co Envelopes 'ust received at Hunt's Book Store. tf A Narrow Eseap.

Coleman is a stout negro about 50 or 60 years old, and is considered rather weak, mentally. A petition is being circulated this week to get the Govern or to commute his sentence to life im prisonment in the penitentiary. The petition is numerously signed and it is thought the Governor will grant it. It has been a long time since we have had an execution in Newberry. Coleman is convicted of the murder of Ike Boozer, which was committed in this county, on the 28th January of last year, in the house of Patience Chalmers. Boozer was found dead in the woods, having been struck in the head with some blunt instrument from I the effects of which he died. Upon the first investigation of the case, two wo men were arrested and lodged in jail a charged with the murder. Patience Chalmers, one of these, in whose house z the murder took place, said Ike Boozer a and Douglas Coleman had a quarrel a and Coleman killed him with an axe. Coleman was thereupon arrested, tried and convicted, and sentenced to hang r on Friday, January 11, '89. The Newberry Bank.
