A gloriot light In streams shot upwards through ti deep blue sky, As pure and bright as ever eye behelk It made me think of that eternal ligi That's coming soon to bathe the wor] in Joy, And penetrate the very darkest dens, And let in light and peace and life; ai then All men will know all races, North ar South, And East and West, and all the ocea isles Will learn and know, and nevermor forget The meaning of thy name, 0 Liberty All will be free, free as the winds the blow, Free as the blest in heaven, moved on by Their own pure wills, moved by the lif divine. Is this too much? What is the troubl now? What hinders the downflow of life di vine Into the world and into everything? What but the wicked, perverse will o man? This is the barrier, and this alone, That now shuts off the holy ones fron earth. And God is merciful, so goed to us, He wants to save us all and not destroy And so in mercy He withholds the life That comes, must come as a destroyinj fire And burn up everything not like itself Therefore He waits, in mercy He with holds The strength of His great life and give to man Just so much, and no more than he ca1 bear. God wants to rule, but not to rule b; force; He wants to be the king of all th world; So wants the knees of every one t< bow To Him in worship, every tongue t sing Hosannah in the highest! 'Tis not Hi will That evil angels or that evil men Should rule in this poor world. 0, ca man Jearn, That he, by his devices, caused all ill, That ever did, or ever can afflict Himself, or any other form of life? 'Twas man built hell, 'twas man tha crucified The Son of God, and mocked and railet -on Him, Even while He hung upon the fata tree. His wickedness in this last dreadful ac Has reached its bound and can n< farther go, But keeps repeating the sad story o'er But it will end, the end is drawinj near; That glorious day of which Iaiah sanj So joyfully in the far olden time How did he see, how did he know 'twoul' come? The clouds were rolled away and h could see, As John on Patinas in his vision saw The new Jerusalem descend, so he could see. That war should be no more, and me: yould learn To beat their swords, those old, noi useless, swords Into good plowshares to turn the me] low soil, And make it bear good fruits and go] den grain, Rich food for man and beast, 0, happ day! Isaiah saw, and he was not alone; All poets in all ages, they have seen, In vision, or in trance, or wakini dream A golden age, which never was a dreamr But a grand fact of the eternal life. Let life, not death, be now our endles theme; The Life that is, the Life that is to be Pervading all, from the far stars ii heaven, From heaven itself, in that interna world, Where angels all abide, down to th earth. The only world in this vast universe Where sorrow has a home, where sii abides; The only world that rolls through th deep sky, Where one is hung for murder, ori burned Or tortured otherwise for some grea crime; The only world that ever needs a hell Or builds one on its surface for los souls. , dreadful world! 0, what should bi the dom Of such a world should justice have it course? Annihilations if it cannot be Cured of the ills that now afflict it sc But 0, thank Gcd! there is a remedy Brought from the inner world ani t'rings to this Regeneration. 0, the blessed word! Regeneration, and a great new Life For man, and every creature on th earth. Behold I make all things, yes, al things new; No sin, no sorrow, no suffering an more! No poverty, no starving for the want Of food and shelter anywhere on eartl No wrong to other men, to any mau; But peace, good will and love, good fe lowship To all and every one on the round work Isaiah's dreams and John's have a come true; Thy've found reality in the new Life, And earth is no more sad. 'Tis Christ i. mas day! 'Tis Christmas day, the glorious Christ mas day! Let every human voice on this round world, Let every angel in the highest heaven; Let every star in the wide universe Thrill with the happiness of earth's new Life, d Ancsing in concert, all together sing: "Praise God from whom all blessings flow! d Praise Him all creatures here below. Praise Him above, ye heavenly host; d Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost!" Amen! JNO. A. CHAPMAN. n Christmas 1902. PROSPERITY NEWS. Old Landmarks Passing Away-incident Showing Need of Lighting Streets-Personal. Prosperity, December 23.--Capt. Geo. S. Merchant lost a horse last week e from blind staggers. Miss Nannie Cook, returning home from Prosperity last Wednesday eve ning lost her purse, which was not an empty one indeed. Fortune favored f her, however, and her [neighbors re. joice with her in finding that which was lost. A fire was very narrowly averted last Saturday night, the explosion of gaso line in Hunter & Wheeler's drug store being the cause. Little damage out side of some burns sustained by Dr. Mackey. Elm street in Prosperity was named after a large elm tree which has been dead now several years. Last week the street workers removed the old mark and left not a sign to indicate where it stood. The street remains, but the object for which it is named is gone. There are two other old marks. quite familiar to every visitor, even in Pros perity-the old market house which has had no abiding place during its long existence, and the old guard house which some passers-by on muggy eve nings still think is haunted by the spirit of a dead negro. These are the old outgrown shells which Prosperity has cast off. Some one tells how one of Little Mountain's citizens came here to initi ate the new cells, and of his complaints at the doors being left open that all who passed that way might see his predica ment-booking through the iron bars. tMr. Birge Wise hearing the cry of fire last Saturday nigh-, ran from his house into the dark street to respond to the call. He came in contact with a tree and was picked up unconscious and re mained so all night. His bruises are t considerable. Miss Anna Geiger, sf Colleton County, has gonc home to ..pend the holidays. Rev. P. H. E. Derrick's little Lizzie Saccompanied her. The chaingang has been on our streets for several days. The incident of last Satarday night shows the need of lighting our stbreets. Our town officials have been vigligant in looking after the public interest and have made some commendable improve ments, improvements that will increase our respect for our town, and it would be simply delightful if they coul.d still Sadd-light-electric lights. The literary society of the school here will give an entertainment that rpromises much for the enlarging of the library of the school. The public is invited. The play will be in the opera house, Friday evening, December 26, 1902. Admission 15 and 25 cents. A Christmas service and tree will be held at the AssociateReformed Presby terian church on Christmas day, Thurs day evening. Mr. Allen Crosson is Su perintendent. Grace Lutheran Church will have Christmas service and tree Tuesday evening, December 30. Bethel school, of Pomaria, will have a Christmas tree Christmas eve. Miss Rubie Holloway is teacher. The school here will vacate for Christ mas holidays at noon Wednesday 24th, and will open again Monday, January 5th. Dr. C. L. Kibler and family, of West e Virginia, are visiting in this community. Mrs. Addie Hodges is visiting friends in Prosperity. Thirty-Fifth Anniversary. Mr. Editor: It was my good fortune s to be present with my family by special invitation, to partake of a most excel lent dinner given by Mr. John F. Cro mer and wife, to their children and grand-children and a few friends, on SDecember 12th, 1902. This was the 35th anniversary of their marriage. SMr. Cromer is one of the most success ful farmers on Timothy creek. Al s though being on rented land, he raises plenty of corn, wheat, oats, and, my, such a pen of fat hogs! It is a delight to look at them. Cotton is a surplus with him. SHe is a good provider, and his wife is an industrious, economical woman to whom he is indebted much for his suc cess. His children are all doing well in e the things of this world also. Seven children have blessed their home. One, LMiss Willie, is a deaf mute. She is of great help in the house, quite intelli gent, having graduated a few years ago at Cedar Springs Institute near Spartanburg, S. C. It is pleasant to. . converse with her. We feel much in debted to this family for affording us an opportunity to meet the family, and Mr. Rutherford and daughters who Lwere there also. May they live to cele-' 1brate many more such occasions. * * * Here Is Something Here is something we w and read carefully.
