CONTIUED FROM SECOND PAGE.
Is no man deputed of the king to hear
thee. . . . 0 that I were made judge

hath any suit or cause might come
unto me, and I would do him justice!"
The remedy is not with the profes
sional politicians and place-seekers and
office-holders, but with the people.
Water does not rise above its souice.
The government will not be better
than the voters who make it. If you
would raise the social or political fab
ric to a higher plane, you must not take
hold of the top of the edifice; you must
get down to the foundation, to the
mudsill, and put your lever under that
and Jack it up
When Cromwell bad felt the edge of
English chivalry at Edgehill, he said
to John Hampden, "It is plain that
men of religion are wanted to with
stand these gentlemen of honor." With
that sentiment tae forged his Ironsides
into an engine of war with which he
shivered the power of theAery Rupert.
And that tells the secret of Naseby and
Marston Moor.
Do you ask me whether I expect to
improve the situation by carrying re
liio into politice? I say, No! You
might as well expect to impro-e the
odor of a gutter by flushing It with
rosewater. But carry religion into the
politicians, and into the citizen. The
Puritan soldiers went to battle with
the songs of Zion on their lips. We
need a generation of voters who can go
to the battle of the ballots with the
light of the truth in their hearts; who
order their dealings with their neigh
bor by the golden rule;, who feel that
righteousness exalts a nation; who be
lieve that the only safeguard against
corruption and oppression in office, is
incorruptible virtue in the citizen.
When I counsel the formation of ro
bust Christian character as the great
duty of life, I do not forget that temp
tation with Its many tongues is wait
ing to seduce you f-om your high pur
pose. Vice can tie kept out of th heart
only by putting something into the
heart with which vice will not fellow
ship.
We read that the commander of a
certain Greek exrnedition, when he ap
proached the Siren Islands, found it
necessary to plug the ears of his sailors
with wax, and lash himself to the mast
of his vessel, to avdid being lured to de
struction by the songs of the Sirens.
But we read that the commander of a
subsequent expedition carried Orpheus,
the divine musician, on board his ves
sel; and that, as he approached the
Siren Islands, Orpheus filed the ears
of the sailors with such entrancing and
sweeter music, that the Sirens, over
whelmed with envy and despair, flung
themselves into the sea.
There is onestandard bearer who can
restore peace in the home and confi
dence in the State. Let the people,
and especially the young men, but
open their hearts to the voice that was
breathed upon storm-swept Tiberias,
and out of "this nettle danger we shall
pluck this flower, Safety."
"A bark slept on the sea, and in the bark
Slept Mary's son
The only one
whose face is light, where all, all else, is dark.
"His brow was heavenward turned, His face was
* fair;
He dreamed of me
On that still sea
The stars be made were gleming through his
hair.
"And, lo! a moan moved o'er the mighty deep;
The sky grew dark;
The little bark
Felt all the waves awaking from their sleep.
"The winds wailed wild, and wilder billows beat;
The bark was tossed:
Shall all be lost?
-But Mary's son slept on, serene and sweet.
"The tempest agdir, all its mighty wrath,
The wind howled on
All hope seemed goe.
And darker waves sugdround the bark's lone
-path.
" The sleeper woke! He gazed upon the deep:
He whispre: 'Peace!
Wid..idwaves, cease!
Be still!' The tempest fled-the ocean fell asleep.
"And.ah! when human hearts by storms are tossed,
When life's lone bark
Drifts through the dark,
And 'mid the wildest waves where all seems lost,
"He, now, as then, with words of power and peace,
Murmurs: 'Somdep
Be still-etill-andsep.
And, 1o! a great calm comes-th tempest's perils
cease"'
THE UNIOB MEDAL cONTEST.
Ant exercise that always draws a large
audience, whether it rains or the weather
is swelteringly warm, is the contest for
the medal in oratory by the members of
- the junior class. This contest is Dot vol
untary but is made part of the duty of
every member of the junior class
On Monday night the largest array of
spakrs, that has yet appeared on the
restrumn at a commencemnentin Newberry,
formed a half-moon on the stage. The
programme called for eighteen secs,
but, Mr. Beebuhbeing sik only
seventeen spoke. D.Holland announced
-that the programme would be carried out
and, 'without 'any introductions, the thing
moved along like clock-work. First music
and then aspeech, and so on to the end
of the chapter. -And it did not take long
to get through. The speeches 'were all
good, but, in such a number, we can only
give the names and subjects.
~ The committee to award the medal con
sisted of Rev. F. V. N. Painter. Rev. W.
W. Daniel, Rev. M. M. Kinard, Rev. W.
L. Wait and Capt. Geo. D. Bast.
SThe presentation was made by Prof.
Painter. He said the committee had
some difficulty in arriving at-a conclu
sion and was notunnanimous at last, for
several young men had given the succ 'as
ful one ashot pursuit, but the award had
been made to Mr. A. F. Lever.
In reaching a decision the committee
had taken into consideration the articula

THE ALUMNI ADDRESS.
The annual address before thei
Alumni Association was delivered yes
terday m'orning by Rev. WV. W. Daniel,
of Flore'i:, a member of the class of 4
1879. Mr. Daniel has a host of friendsj
and admirers in Nev:berry, and be was
greeted by the largest audience we
have ever seen on these occasions.1
They were well repaid for having gone
out, for his address was scholarly and
well delivered. We are fortunate to I
present it in full to our readers this
week. It will well repay a careful
reading. It is replete with wholesome
truths at,d they are put in strong En
glish. Prof. E. 0. Counts, president, I
introduced the speaker, and prayer was
offered by Rev. M. J. Epting.C
Immediately after the address the j
annual meeting of the association was i
held and the following officers elected:
Itev. W. K. Sligh, president; Dr. I
W. (*. Houseal, vice-president; R. L. i1
Tarrant, secretary; Arthur Kibler, t
treasurer., C
Upon the motion of Mr. (G. B. Cro- a
moer It was decided to hold a banquet i:
or symposium at wbich several short c
speeches would be mnade, the same to
take the place of the annual oration. s
The officers of the association, with Mr. a
Cromer, were appointed a committee ti
to make the necessary arrangement
and to select a programme. This will b
be a novel feature, and no doubt will c:
ntract a lna crowdA'.
Upon motion the thanks of the asso
ciation were voted Mr. Daniel for the
able and masterly address delivered
and the association adjourned.
Prof. Bowers stated that the faculty
had arranged for four re-unions in the
State and Georgia during the summer
in the interest of the college, and be
spoke the interest of the association.
There were forty-three members pres
ent.
The following is the
ADDRESS OF REV. W. W. DANIEL.
I have looked to this occasion with
varied feelings. I state a fact, whieb
doubtless, admits of an easy explana
tion when I declare that I have felt a
deeper interest and a graver responsi
bility personally in the exercises of this
hour than I ever experienced before in
coming up to our annual convocation.
It is a privilege, fraught usually with
great possibilities, both for true pleasure
and real profit, toattend the commence
mentsof our Ama Mater. Itisencourag
ing, indeed it is an inspiration-to re
ceive positive assurances and have both
ocular and auricular demonstrations
of her growing prosperity, her increas
ing usefulness, her ever-widening and
ever deepening influence, and her
steady advancement along the lines of
true progress. Such exhibitions of
vitality are exceedingly gratifying to
every alumnus of the college and to
every true friend of Christian educa
tion.
Apart from these considerations,
which are helpful and which shed
forth influence of a truly elevating and
ennobling charaeter, it is an additional
source of no litde delight to me per
sonally, that I am permitted again to
meet and mingle with those for whose
real good and true prosperity I have
had a special concern; with those en
deared to me by many a consideration,
and with those to whom I am bound
by the strong ties of friendship. It is
always refreshing to me to look into
the faces of Newberrians.
Another ground of joy is that, I have
been highly honored by honorable men.
This is always pleasisg,-always,pro
ductive of very agreeable seusat ions
always touches a responsive chord and
catses it to vibrate throughout oise's
. being and bring him under a charming
ibfluence which is akin to that exerted
by the strains of sweetest music.
There are other considerations, how
ever, which call forth widely different
reflections and awaken diverse emo
tions well calculated to Interfere very
materially with this rythmic flow of
the soul, and to disturb very sensibly
this pleasing spell of musical harmony.
It should never be forgotten that an
honor conferred is an obligation im
posed; and, hence, that the acceptance
of the proffered honor is the assump
tion of the correspondent obligation.
The duty devolvibg upon mne, at this
hour, is in the light of that priacinle,
almost a burden. And I am free to
confess that the satisfactory manner in
which my honored predecessors have
hitherto defended the wisdom of your
choice and justified the confidence
which you have reposed in them hap
made me somewhat nervous, time and
again, before to-day.
I take it, however, that the best possi
ble and most practical assurance that
one can give of his appreuiation of an
honor conferred is a faithful effort to
measure up to the responsibilities in
volved, by performing to the best of
his at,ility the task assigned. This con
viction has given me some trouble. I
am therefore fully persuaded that it is
thoroughly evangelical.
Really I more than half suspect that
the greater part of my perplexity has
arisen from the reflection that I have
told nearly everything I know right
here in Newberry, in the five hundred
and sixty four sermons and talks with
which I unburdenea myself and with
which I probably burdened others
during my three years sojourn among
you. s
And Newberry audiences are as a rule.
so attentive that repetitions are hazard
ous, and so appreciative that repetition1
would indicate cruelty on the part of the
speaker. Fortunately for- me at thisi
hour, but unfortuuately many thinkI
for the race, events have been so nume
rous and startling; disturbances have
been so alarming; unrest and discontent1
have been so wide spread, that I am
not shut up to the painful necessity of
simply reproducing thoughts to which
I gave utterance while Iwas among
you.
Whatever may be the truth concern
ing present conditions, and whatever 4
may be my attitude toward them
ordinarily, just at this particular
juncture I feel some sympathy with
the spirit which must have swept over 4
the greatest of the apostles when be
said, "We glory in tribulations also." I
Not that I aim to discuss these condi- I
tions to-day but that they have been
saggestive to me in the preparation ofC
this address on
"CHRISTIAN EDUCATION, THE SOLU
TION, POSSIBLY THE ONLY SATISFAC
TORY SOLUTION, OF THE GREAT
AND INTRICATE PEBBLEMS
NOW CONFRONTING CIVILI
ZATION."
How widely soever men may differ t
as to the causes, whbich have produced I
the unrest and evident dissatisfaction of I
the present, there is perfect unanimIty I
of opinion as to .the existence of (
such unhappy condItion of men and I
affairs. We are all more or lesis most I
painfully cognizant of the fact that the
age is pregnant with pertubations,
tremulous with uncertainties and I
agitated with fears.
Lbs world is tempest-tossed andt
everywhere the wild storms are lash
ing the great sea of humanity. In I
country sparse and in city full dark I
elnuds bover over the horizon. e
Unrest and disquiet hold high t
carnival throughout tbe moral, social, i
political, and industrial world.
Whether it be true as claimed by a I
very excellent writer that the insurg
ing woes of -centuries of wrong are ~
iwelling the great beart of humanity,
it must be confessed that disturbing c
influences have made their appearance.t
[t is patent to all that this is not only at
period of unrest but of experiment also. c
3r togive it a logical expression It
"
21ay be said that this is an age of an
~est and therefore an age of ex-v
ariment. Uncertainty is always pro- .J
luctive either of cold indifferene '
>r of feverish excitement. Men are
sxperimenting and making discoveries e
>f greater or less importance of value (
iot only in the natural sciences, hut in ]
11l of.the important aflairs of life in the I
ocial,religious,and commercialspheres. c
?rom almost every quarter come prop. S
gandists of new legislative schemes, v~
iew social inventions, new political g
nechanisms, new .tinancial remedies, d
3ew commercial policies, new in- v
lustrial measureb, new religious pro- a
ects and new socialistic dreams. v
This spirit, which, to a larger orn
maller degree ot,tains throughout the p
vorid and either consciously or
inconsciously influences nearly all hi
ninds, makes this a time favorable for 8
alse prophets and teachers, and rather b
onfavorable for tbe true. And it ean- wi
tot be succe-ssfully denied that many t<
re taking advantage of this fearful un- n:
est to advance their own interests, to ti
uild up their own fortunes to exalt b:
hemselves and to -make merchandise cr
f man's unhappy se'arch for some lu
ower that may be effective in adjust
oig the ills of humanity.
On the other hand, it is evident that bi
sany are industriously and conscient-. at
usly engaged in praiseworthy efforts tt
a solve the vexed problems, which tb
ontinuafly become more complicated hi
nd which, because of the great ti<
iterests involved, demand wise and "e
ireful treatment. tb
The earnest portion of humanity are w<
:andinglupon tiptoe, and intently, re
4d more or less hopefully, watching so
ie trend of events. fo
A "consummation devoutly to be TI
oped for," is that out of the strife and ot
2aos and sorrow so fearfully preya
tood the rude blasts of storm and
empest, and which bad gathered size
nd strength all the while, there has
ome the encouraging and inspiring re
lection, that it sprang from the tiny
corn which might easily have been
rushed between the jaws of a pig. I
tave thought this, too, proclaims the
ower of environment. There are more
oil and rain and storm and sunshine
a it than there is acorn. It has drawn
n the external world for its support
od it is the embodiment and reflection
f its surroundings.
As I have stood in my yard and ex
mined some onie beautiful buds that
ever blossomed, because nipped by
be tardK frosts of April, I have been
brown into a moralizing mood, and
s thoughts that came were not pleas
3g and refreshing. Sterile lands and
!rtile fields; buds that never blossomed
nd giant oaks; what lessons they sug
est, what reflections they awaken! I
rust that it will not be regarded cyni
al aspersion to confess that, as I have
Dme into close coctact with different
rades of men, similar thoughts have
eeu aroused; and they have filled my
eart with joy and sorrow, with hope
nd despondency, with sunny cheer
alness and with gloomy foreboding,
ecording to the standpoint frOm
rhich the observations were made.
Vith joy and hope and sunny cheer
ilness as I have witnessed the wonder
illy liberating and transforming power
t truth in lives that have been respon
ve to its magic touch, In characters
iat have been achieved through obedi
ace to its elevating and ennobling and
urifying principles In the noble ambi
ons and holy enthusiasms imparted
y it; in the manly virtues to whose
Mtainment it has led; in the true nobi
ty of conduct to which It has incited,
Ed in the mounts of Transfiguration
iat It has discovered and made accesi
le to humanity. With sorrow, des.
rndency and gloomy forebodingR as
have witnossed the degrading and
aslaving influences under which many
em content to live, and the tenacity
Ith which they cling to debasing
lols; and the - persistence with which
3ey reject and resist every disenfhar

itiable stupidity which they exhibit
i permitting themselves to become the
ictims Pf the turmoil and strife and
lind ambition, before whose blighting
rid withering power no lovely bud of
romise can ever flower into noble ac
nn or high achievement. And yet
ith joy and hope and sunny cheerful
ess have I been filled, as I have come
rmly to believe that,:

flence, the more I have thought on
e subject, the more fully convinced
ave I become that our great need Is
Iucation, which- is thoroughly and
Dsitively, Christian-the modifying
lord denoting the environment, under
hose ennobling influence all the
e.ties of being are to be developed
id trained.
I fully agree with one who has said:
No definition of man is large enougb
> accommodate the facts of his nature,
iat does not embrace what he Is object
rely as well as what he is subjectively.
must not only embrace the Intel
et, but the truth which It thinks;
at only the will, but the right which
>rresponds to It; not only the eye, but
ie light which gives it meaning; not
ily the ear, but the sound which
atches it; not only the lungs, but the
mosphere to which they are correl
red."
Such a definition of man will 4ost
isuredly emphasize the vital impor
nee of right environment, and will
Lake prominent the fact that man's
mnduct must, as a rule, be the result
the principles which have been in
illed into him by the instruction
hich he has received, and must be
ie reflection of the influences under
hieb he has been reared.
Such a definition of man will make
inspicuous the truth, that, while "hu
Lan nature is dually constituted," yet
re "larger half of itself is outside of
self," and, hence, it will point out the
icessity of Christianizing this larger
ternal half, in order that there may
tualize a well-rounded symmetrical
aracter as the product of this unfold
g and training of all the powers of
ind, heart, conscience, and will, un
r these benign influennes.
I suppose that we all agree that the
>rmal advancement of civilization is
rough evolution. Hence, It must be
unfessed that progress ought to be
ade without violent conflicts and
ithout. bitter antagonisms. Steady
id gradual development ought to be
e law of growth here as well as in the
tural world. As a fact, however, we
Lve occasional catastrophes, ad mar
rdom becomes the price of the good
ught; and ends have to be gained by
volution that ought to have been
sily and qui'etly achieved through
'01ution.
As civilization advances circum
meces change. Hence there is an In.
easing necessity for -constant adjust
ent of the relations that subsist
riong the different parts of our social
ganismn. The protracted and painful
nfliets by which such adjustments
e frequently effected only proclaim
e fact that anti-christian influences
yve interfered a Ith the normal law of
ogress. And anti-christian they are,
en though they emanate from prim
:>les, conscientiously held and sin
rely propagated by those who claim
be guided and actuated by the spirit
truth. It must be confessed that
lts are amply sufficient to support
e observation of Canon Freemantle
at it sometimes happens that "while
en on one side are saying Lord, Lord,
is on the other that the things are
no whbich Christ said."
The migrhty revolutions of history
ye, I think, very generally been
nught about by unwise attermpts to
press the irrepressible.
"Man's Inhumianity to man
Make countless thousands mourn."
But the-e"countless thousands" have
ver failed to make themselves seen,
ard and felt, in their rebellion agaInst
e supposed cause of their grievance.
l'hese conflicts which have been
aracteristie of an advancing civiliza
in, have not always tbeen productive
the best immediate results. Revo
ions have sometimnes to be almost
rolutionizTd in order that the ends
justice may be secured. This arises
'm the fact, patent to all, that "no
is of men ever surrender any parti
their power except under Irresistible
upulsion," and that the deep pas-1
ris stirred no in the generation of I
s "irresistible compulsion" become I
Id and unreasonable in their de-a
mld4. This simply stresses tbe r
>uscht that I have endeavored to ex- a
isa and impress. It only emphasizes a
great necessity of a distinct and I
itive Christian environment, In a
ich all the powers of our being shall C
ract their nourishment.
'lien, and only then, can we reason- I
y expect our civilization to be the r
ository of the precious fruits of a t
tIe, gracious and divine evolution- b
ruits brought to the highest con- e
rable perfection under the power of i
Son of righteousness, beaming 'I
e n upon a soil, made fertile by the ti
riderful contrihution of Calvary, and n
itful by being saturated with the l n
stal waters of the River of Life. I r
charge cannot, I am sure, be suc-| a
ifully brought that these view, are B
ruerical, or that this proposed solu- ri
of the intricate and ever-recurring b
blem of an advancing civilization is i
pian, unless the originator of the
istian scheme be first adjudged an c<
dramr. Has He not aways sent d
may come beneficent peace and order s
and assurance. t
"and maybe wildest dreams a
Are but the needful preludes of the truth." 4
If so, most assuredly we are not far f
out at sea, because we have a super- a
abundance of "needful preludes." c
No scheme is so visionary; no dream I
is so fanciful; no measure is so impracti- ;
ble; no undertaking is so idle; no move- a
ment is so Quixotic as not to gather i:
about it quite a number of advocates, o
supporters, and sympathizers. a
rhese are statements of plain facts. o
In the presence of such aggravated
symptotus, one becomes a little un- a
comfortable, and this feeling is rather i
intenhified by the plain lessons of his- t
tory. I recall an incident in Lbe life of t
&ipio Africanus. The record is that t
when this general stood in sight of i1
burning Carthage, with which Rome f
bad for centuries Deen contending for a
the mastery of the world, he burst into g
a flood of tears and repeated the well t
known utterance of Homer: e
4The time shall come when racred Troy shall 0
be leveled with the plain.
And eriam and the people of that proud war
rior slain." b
In explanation of his tears and
speech pe said: f,
"Abyssinia has fallen; Greece has
fallen; Carthage is burning; and Rome's
Lime will be next."
Rome's fate would seem to indicate
that he was moved by the true spirit f,
Df prophecy. I may not be thus actu
ated; but I cannot thus feel as I look 0
upon the events of the present. Surely t
we have reached that stage of Christian
enlightenment, which will qualify us
ror heeding the admonitions of history
and for sbunning the rocks upon which
ihber nations have been wrecked. a
Sdrely we shall not suffer ourselves to .
De compelled to make the humiliating
ontebsion that history has been writ
ten in vain and studied to no purpose.
I turn to a inore pleasing picture.
I recall the glowing countenance of the
late Dr. 8nelt zer, a former president of
this College, as he used to recite to us e
in the class room an incident which be a
elaimed to have taken place in a Nat
ional Convention of Gernany. This
Donvention had been called to consider
plans for recovering the lost fortunes of
Germany, when she had been defeated P
iW battle, by France. Different plans
had been proposed and discussed. Still
nosatisfactory solution of the perplex
ing problem seemed possible. A L length'
Dne arose and said "Let's try educa- .
Lion." The unbounded gratification t
which it evidently affokded the then V
good and pious, but now Sainted Doo
tor to recount the great success of the ,
plan proposed and adopted, left no
room for doubt as to his just pride of N
aational lineage, or as to his estmation
Df the vakie, importance, and possible
achievements of education. V
I do not doubt the authenticity of
this incident though I have never seen
the record. We know, however, that T
in thatertical moment of the nation's
history the philosopher Fiebte success- A
fully carried a proposition to reconstruct g
the entire educational sysrem of Ger
many. The wisdom -of:-his plan was
demonstrated by the siecessful cam
paigns conducted by those whose train- h
Ing had been in accordance with its e
provist.ons.
The French leaders, declared: "It
was the schools of Germany that con
auered at Sedan."
That declaration was a warthy compli- a
ment toGermaany's system of education.
It reveals, along with the very design
for *hich tbat system was constructed, t
that the military feature was promi- ti
aent; that a thorough acquaintance 1i
with tactics was emphasized, and that j
tier success was largely due to the pro- is
vision which she made for training a
and drilling and disciplining her men-.
So I would endeavor to urge the im- t
portance-yea tbe absolute necessity of o,
Christian Educaztion as being the essen
tial and only adequate means by wbich at
the great problems confronting us may la
be satisfactorily solved, and the antag
anisms which are a menace to civiliza- af
Aion may be permanently removed. ta
I use the qualifying word Christian ~
o0 indicate where the emphasis must cc
:>e placed; and that, because, as every oj
ne must recognize, the safety and at
permanency of our institutions depend ,
.ipon the wise and proper settlement ti
>f the burning quesdions, which have ~
or years, been struggling for recogni
ion, and which have now come into og
rominence with an almost startling m
apidity and alarming gravity, con- t
radictirag the old theories of political it
aconomy and spurning the quackery m
which tias hitherto given temporary e:
elief. a
I know of no better definition of such ci
ducstion than that given by Dr. Si
~hillip 8. Moxom who says that it "is ~
he aufolding of our entire nature-of de
nind, heart, conscience and will-into
.trength, efficiency, and beauty." Its se
lesign must be to develop and train the t
aculties of our being in such mann-.r as cc
urill render them most easily available a
und most powerfully effective for all w
he duties and responsibilities of life. at
ts aim must be to make "the right a t
rinciple of being and the good an n
bject of attainment." And just so far hi
a an ed'lcation falls short of instilling ts
hat principle and of giving that so
net.tal, and physical training, neces- re
ary to qualify man for the suc"essful ea
iursuit of tbat obiject, just that far, ev
t least, is it sad ly dIefic. ut, and just
bat far, at least, 'is -it a failure in the ab

uanliness and of true womanliness. m
In this connection, I have used the an

hboughtfully. For it must be obvious to
o all that the were failure to attain gj
Into this bigh aim, or to inspire with th
his high purpose, may not be the hi
niost disastrous result of a defective p
ducation. Its crowning evil may be ev
he low, or false, or selfish ideal which ci
L sets up-.c
I doubt not the correctness of Locke's to
esion, when he said: "I think we of
uay assert tnat in a hundred men there g'e
re more than ninety, who are what tb
bey are, good or bad, useful or perni- th
ions to society, from the instruction m
hey have rebeived. it is on ed ucation it
bat depend the great differences de
beervable among them."
And such Is man--a soil which breeds hi
r sweetest flowers or vilest weed; b
iowerslovelv a the morning light, b
Feeds dea'ily as an aconite: re
ust as his heat t is trained to bear
he polsonous weed, or the flow'ret fair."
I think that one of the most valuable
ontributions made to the cause of ne
7hristian Education is that of "Natural he
aw in the Spiritual World" by Prof. th
)rummond. Whbile I think that some
f his views are somewhat extreme, chi
till it seems to mue that the little tic
olume is invaluable for its rich sug- (if
estions along practical lines. No I
oubt, you have been deeply impressed rei
rith many of the ideas therein of
dvanced. Certainly you remember fri
that potency he ascribes to environ- cla
aent in the development of the of
ossibilities inherent in man,co
I have been reminded frequently of sio
is claims as, in some portions of our thi
tate, I have observed the scrubby wil
lack jacks and diminutive oaks, ma
bich bear unmistakable testimony th<
the influence of environment in pre
sture's attempt at original forests in thbe
arse sections. Adjacent to those, I poN
ive sometimes seen broad acres of wb
tton, corn, and - tobacco, whose exi
xuriance was very suggestive. '
As I have looked u pon such transfor- abi
ations of sterile lands Into fertile and dej
ghly productive farms, yielding get
>undant harvests, I have thought of
at here are clear demonstrations of cei,
.e power of environment, and that the
re are emphatic analogical contradic- doi
>ns5 of what may be called the wol
duca-re" theory of education--or that frui
eory founded on the etymology of the cry
,rd. For agriculturlsts think niot of The
alizing rich returns from the seeds cesa
wn until they have furnished plant chil
ad of proper quality and quantity. tiol
ie possibilities in the seed could nolt pro
berwise be actualized. uto
Again, as I have gazed upon some Cbi
ant ak,r wrhich haor dcadesnn with- idls
forerunners to prepare the way before i
Him? Does He not clearly teach that t
truth is designed thus to win its way? t
to make its conquests silently? to ad- s
vance, step by step, from one degree of u
excellency to another?
"First the blade, then the ear, after t
that the full corn in the ear." The t
little mustard seed, cast into the soil, n
already prepared for its reception, al- ti
ready containing the nutriment, shall k
shoot out its great branches and afford b
shade and shelter for the irds of the si
air. The leaven placed in the prepared s:
meal diffuses itself throughout the mass V
and brings the whole under its power. i:
These are some of the illustrations used si
by the Great Teacher to set fortb the u
progressive and aggressive nature of h
truth under normal conditions. The b
secret of its failure to accomplish its b
mission iu this manner is, I think, ti
clearly dislosed in this pregnant utter- ti
ance of Dr. Strong: "We have in- a
herited from our Latin fathersa vicious g
dualism, running through our life, a ja
'line of cleavage dividing it Into the b
sacred and the secular." There ia our tI
trouble. There is the source of what- b
ever is problematical in all the epheres ti
of life. Acquisitions of every kind iE
under such an inheritance will neces- tI
sarily engender strife. 0:
I remember to have read, about three n
years ago, in some newspaper, a decla- a
ration to the eff'eC tthat South Carolina w
played the fool every thirty years. I ft
was, then very much impressed with b
the charge. There is a deep philosophy is
underlying that observation. That
kind of thing is not bounded by State p
lnes-that is not a system peculiar to p
Soutlr Carolinians. It is only another h
way of stating the fact that every gene- tt
ration has its own problems to solve, h
its own difficulties o confront, its own It
issues to meet, Its own evils to adjust, te
Its own battles to fight, its own history e'
to write. p
I doubt not that it has always been e:
thus in the world's history, unless it li
be in such periods as these 'when the re
masses were too sensual and degraded
to he competent to raise an issue. s1
. - I have resd of the visit of the wise 01
Inen to lerusalem in search of Him 0
who had been born king of the Jews.
Their inquiry was startling to the ruler. b
Violent measures were resprted to, that 'I
no rfval claims to the throne might a
ever rise. Thirty years later the open V
conflict came. You all know the se- w
quel, in part. Generations have come tb
and gone; empires have risen and h:
fallen; and through all of the shifting ot
scenes of history, there has been a Uoo ti
constant realization of the poet's vision:
"Trmth forever on the scaffld, wrong forever IL
o the throne." w
But the potency of truth has baen seen u
in the completion of the vision: re
"Yet that scaffald sways the future, and fR
behind thedim unknown, i
Standeth God within the shadow, keeping Ii
watch above his own."
By an education, distinctively and di
positively Christian in every particu
lar, Truth may be enthroned, and all
the blesings 'of pea& may be secured,
and the onward and upward march of o
civilization will not be attended with in
strife and bitterness. tb
The hope of the permanency of our tb
institutions and of abe perpetuity of m
our government-the key to the satis- fo
factory solution of the problea which
.must inevitably and constantlyftrise is E
to be found, not in that imposing mis
representation of "Liberty enlighten- tr
ing the world," but in that more mod- bi
estand yet more expreessive monn
iment of-the Puritan Pilgrims standing w
at Plymouth-this statue of Faith,
po!nting with one hand to heaven, and
holding in the other an open Bible, i
surrounded by tour figures represent
ing Morality, Liberty, Religion and c
Education, proclaims the one true and g
sure method by which any people may w
achieve a glorious destiny. s
Fired by these motives, and guided is
by these principles, may it be our high a
purpose and our firm determination w
and our praiseworthy effort to contrib- g
ute our full quota of strength and wis
dom to the realization of such a des- at
tiny, and thus: i
"Ring out a slowly dying cause. lu

"Ring out false pride in place and blood, ti,

THE ADDEss BEPOE THE LITER A R' lo'
socirEs. 9
The address before the literary socie- cil
ties was delivered by the B1ev. C. S. Ved- th
der, D. D)., of Charleston. He was intro- sa
duced by President Holland and after a a'
few pleasant introductory remarks, in sei]
which he captured his audience, he pro. de
oeeded to tellus about books in apleas. req
ing and interesting manner. He is a lover 14
of books and, judging from his address an
last night, is familinr with his subject. He ni
spoke for alittle more than an hour with- cel
out notes or manuscript. It was a most ye
excellent address and no synopsis of it fr<
ran do the speaker justice. We give be- i
low a few thoughts from the address
picked out here and there, but to be ap
preciated the address should have been ye
beard-. ak
Dr.Vedder is pastor of the only Hugne- thi
not Church in America. There is no dif ha
!erence between this Church and the In
Presbyterian except that they use? the th
iturgical form of service-the same form,
ihat is used in Switzerland. The form of do
government is the same as the IPresby- cri
berian Church. They have the same con- ef
!ession of faith as composed by Calvin, me
bimself, in the forty original articles. In m<
bis Church, in Charleston, they use the m
sme form of service that was brough jot
aver from France by the founders of the to
Church 203 years ago. a
Dr. Vedder is a most delightfully dci
genial and pleasant old gentleman, and oft
we confess to having fallen in love with wo
him almost as soon as we met him. He wb
was a classmate i college of Dr. Cozby of'
aur town. He is a native of New York of
but has been in Charleston for upwards
if thirty years and pastor of his present
shurch twenty-eight years. He celebrated
bis silver wedding some three years ago
md is accompanied on his visit to New
ierry by Mrs. Vedder. He was chaplain
n t he Confederacy, and has been chap- *
ain of the Confederate Home in Charles.
on for twenty-six years, or continuously
rince the Borne was founded. His church
s doubtless the oldest organization In the
sity of Charleston. He is frequently
:alled upon to make addresses at college
:ommecncements and is a ready and fluent
peaker, having a regular storehouwe of
nformation from which he can always
1raw. no'
He said that he would ask the young 3
gentlemen to consider with him what ge
vas considered by some of a very d ryea
ubject, the subject of "Books." It Ne
vas lby such a study that every age tolk
ecame thecontemporary of every other mo
ge. The actions and doings of every age
ge are photographed in their written or
ecords. The writers of any and every nic
e,e have re-produced their times for us sub
.nd made us their contemporaries. s p
leading their writings brings them Ico
nd their times before us. Every age He
iay say the words a great French for
rinter said of himself, "All the world ani
:ows me," because the world had dec
ead his essays. This Is much miore pre:
rue of recent times when there has ban
een much more written rtcords of the sior
rorld's doings. Books are the mirrors
i which all the world is reflected.
'here is a practical side to this ques
on. Lord Bacon said that reading
iakes a full man and not only a full
tan but a man full of contentment and
~sources for development and furnishes -.l
challenge of high ideals fo'r himself. 2
ut we desire to inquire why we should
,ak books? when we should read
ioks? how we should read %ooks? and
hbat books we should read?
The man who had lost a valuable f
>llection of valuable books by a sud
an fire said to those wrho symnatized
Fith him that the books would bai
iught him but little if they had n<
iugbt him how to bear their loss. A

urpose is to reform and enlghten bu
2e reformation must be a- reform c

iorality must find its seats in the afe
ons. Virture must be set before mer
nowledge. It is something that mas
e loved for itself. The furthes
ghted philosopher may be the neare
jebted moralist. He may forget wha
V"alter Scott did not forget that ther
but one Book. Knowledge is powe
ich as the unbridled despot need
nless it is under the control of th
ighest moral culture. There is n
atter way to secure this control thaj
y reading good books. He spoke o
ie influence of good books in shapin,
ie lives of men for noble and hig1
'pirations. John Bunyan had ieen i
iide to heaven for many lives. Ben
min Franklin tells us that if he hac
-en able to do any good he owed it tA
ie reading of a single book which wa
at a fragment. On the other ham
le reading of bad books has a banefu
fluence. He warned the young gen
emen against the pernicious influene
dime novels. Between their lidi
iay be contained the destinies of tw4
orlds. Shun an evil book as yot
ould a viper. There is no poison a
sidious as that contained in an evi
)ok and which it Instils, while theri
nothing better than a good book.
But hsve books only an ethical pur
>se? It would be contrary to all-ex
nience to say so. He who reads caz
truly said to be never more alon4
tau when alone. Whatever may b
s surroundings he forgets everythinj
the etjjcymeot of reading. Ilcero
fls us that he would have parted witi
Terytbing rather than his books. Th,
)et Southey when he could no longe
