St. David’s Church, First and Church Streets in Cheraw, famous old South Carolina church,
has been used as a hospital in two wars; once by British, once by Confederates.
ST. DAVID’S EPISCOPAL CHURCH, CHERAW
St. David’s Episcopal Church, First
and Church Streets, Cheraw, was
built from 1770-1773 by a group of
Welsh settlers, who named the
church after the patron saint of
Wales. The cemetery in back con
tains the graves of James H. Thorn-
well (1812-1862), Presbyterian the-,
ologian and president of the State
university; and of Bishop Alexander
Gregg (1819-1893). The church it
self is a small frame building. The
square steeple features three arched
windows, each set below a balus-
traded deck.
St. David’s has served as a hospital
in two great wars. During the Revo
lution, the 71st Scottish Regiment
of Cornwallis’ army used the church
as a smallpox hospital. Fifty British
were victims, and are buried in a
mass grave in the cemetery.
During the War Between The
States, the Confederacy used the
church as a hospital. This war left
its mark in the form of bloodstains
which people claim can still be seen
on the floor. The Confederate mon
ument, the first of its kind, was
erected in 1867.
About 1824, the residents of Cheraw
staged a minor revolution of their
own. The Baptists and Presbyter
ians both wanted the church for
their services. Finally, when the
Baptists were in possession of the
church one Sunday morning, the
Presbyterians loaded and fired an
old Revolutionary cannon. Quickly
the Baptist’s preacher dismissed
the congregation, and all fled. Later,
after the situation had quieted
down, Episcopalians came m and,,
occupied the church. The Presby
terian preacher who was responsible
for the cannon episode afterwards
wrote regretfully: “While the lion
and the unicorn were fighting for
the crown, up came the puppy dog
and knocked them both down.”

i**HE NEXT PR r.)! DENT won’t

:hat the New Deal “took over” in
;932. Twenty years of the drive to
ward socia’ism has pretty well
eclipsed the old liberty which Amer
leans formerly enjoyed. Today the
people are enmeshed in a web ol
“statism” which can only be al
tered by the united efforts of all
real Americans led by some genius
to whom God and country mear.
more than anything and everything
Up to now we have enjoyed the
wonders which American industry
—not the New Deal—has made
available to us. But if the welfare
state is returned again to power
the industries, in the natural course
of events, will be taxed to a poim
where government will take them
^ver to mairtain their operation
Only then will we begin to feel the
real pinch, just as England is feel
ing it, and as Russia has been feel
ing it for 30 years, and as all peo
ples have felt it who have espoused
socialism.
This column has favored Robert
Taft as the next President. It be
lieves that he would make a fine
record. But we are beginning to fee)
that to remedy present conditions
it is going to require more than a
fine President. It is going to require
Genius—with a capital G.
There are available for the office,
which for the next four years is go
ing to be by far the most important
post in the free world, two great
soldiers, each of whom has demon
strated genius in his particular line
of military endeavor. They are Gen
Eisenhower and Gen. Mac Arthur
Either one may be a gamble to a
certain extent as against Taft’s well
known soundness. But this nation
and the free world are almost com
pelled to gamble in order to sur
vive.
The “setup” appears to us like
this: Taft—sound and in normal
times, safe; MacArthur—potential
genius in affairs governmental, but
handicapped possibly by tge. Eis
enhower — potential governmental
genius. “Welfare state”—the finish
of a once glorious nation.

World Peace Must Be
Built on Foundation
Of Righteousness
TAWS and ideals are one thing;
f - * observances and performances
are quite another. Nowhere, per
haps, in all history were there
more idealistic regulations than
those to be found in ancient Israel.
Yet in spite of these, injustice and
oppressions were prevalent.
Imagine some thoughtful, intel
ligent, hard-working farmer, who
understands the conditions upon
which our life and welfare de
pends, coining into one of our mod
ern cities. He would observe the
•ease and luxury of those making
no real contribution to society, not
to mention the evil and corruption
that are so flagrant. Then you can
understand something of what the
prophet Amos was to his times.
Amos was a herdsman, accus
tomed to clean living. He was
roused to indignation by what he
saw . . . “the dust of the earth
on the head of the poor . . . the
righteous sold for a pair of shoes.”
He saw the gross immorality of
fathers and sons, the turning of
judgment to wormwood, and the
abandonment of righteousness. He
saw the very acts and rites of re
ligion perverted, feasts observed
and offerings sacrificed by those
who had no true observance or
sacrifice in their hearts.
Amos represents God as saying
“J hate, I despise your feast days,
and I will not smell in your sol
emn assemblies.”
But he calls for repentance: ‘‘Let
judgment run down as waters and
righteousness as a mighty stream.”
Don’t we need that call today?
The association of righteousness
with peace is not accidental. It
reminds us of the only true
foundation upon which peace can
be built, whether it be domestic
peace, the solution of industrial
troubles or international peace.
Organization and negotiation are
not enough. We must find, arid
build upon, a sure foundation of
righteousness.
