J. Q. Law Delivers a Power ful Sermon in Charleston. I News and Courier, Auk. 7.] The Rev. J. O. Law delivered a powerful and impreR«ive dis course at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday morning. Im mediately before the sermon commenced the hymn sung by the congregation was “Rock of Ages Cleft for Me,” and the preacher took forhis text Paul’s 1st Epistle to the Ephesians, 10th chapter and 4th verse, “And that Rock was Christ.” After explaining the circum stances surrounding the occur rence to which the text referred he proceeded to draw a number of important lessons from it. In the first place Christ is the smit ten rock. Qod commanded Moses to strike the rock twice, and as he did so the cool re freshing water rushed out so that the people drank and were satisfied. A similar scene was enacted later, about thirty-nine years after this. Again Ood rovided water from the rock, his time Moses was told sim ply to speak to the rock. Moses got wroth and smote the rock again, and for this sin he was not allowed to lead his people across the Jordan to the land of promise. Christ is a smitten rock. The cleaving of the rock represents Christ as a refuge and a place of safety for the sin ner* There is a resting place in Christ where we are all se cure. He is a reviving rock. Sin is a heavy burden, and it is only by flying to the rock that our failing strength is revived and we go on praising the Qod of our salvation. Go to the smitten rock and you will find the water of Mfe. Christ is a refreshing rock. Whtn we go to Jesus Christ we find that Ho gives forth refresh ing streams. There is such a thing as “soul weariness.” The prophet felt it when he oast himself down on the ground in the poor shade that the juniper tree could afford. Jonah felt it before he had access to that lifegiving rock. The rook Him self felt it when He was plead ing in tho garden of Qethsem- ane and he )et Himself be smitten. He 4s a saving rock, the rock of our salvation. Since Christ has been smitten Qod is reconciled. Those people had only to drink, and they were saved from the torment of thirst. So we have onlv to believe in Jesus Christ and accept Him as our Saviour; then we are born in Christ and walk with Qod. Christ is a sustaining rock. Hit arms are round about and underneath those that trust in Qod, and you will fiodHisgrace sufficient for you in all times of trouble. Rest upon Him and you will find the rock a sustain ing rock. ‘ i is an ever present rock, ala a: s with His people. The blessings of that rock con tinued with those people until thqy passed into the land of plenty. So this rock, Christ Jean, is with us in all our journeyings through the world. “I will never leave Thee nor forsake Thee.” “Lo, I am al ways with you even to the end of the world.” So is He with you always, and you have only to believe that He is with you and drink freely of the water of life and you will find that His grace is sufficient in every time ol need. Put forth the exercise of faith in Jesus Christ and trust Him and love Him, and He will beyour Saviour through out all eternity.

I Reported (or Th* Nkwk. ] On the evening of the l!Uh ult. the writer had the pleasure of attending the marriage of Miss Katie Seabrook, daughter of Mr. W. P. Seulrook, former ly of Darlington but now of Wadmalaw Island, to Mr. W. Rogers Hart, an enterprising young merchant of the same place. It has never been our fortune to be present on a more pleasantandenjoyable occasion. At 8 P. M. the guests, com posed of the elite of Wadmalaw and other islands adjacent, were all assembled, notwith standing the fact that one of the violent thunder storms, so peculiar to that region, had suddenly arisen and threatened destruction to all thingsexposed to its fury. Promptly at 8 30 the bride, daintily attired in an exquisite costume of cream al batross, surah silk and lace, and the usual veil and orange blos soms, made her appearance on the arm of the groom, and the solemn words of the marriage service were spoken by Rev. Mr. Vardell, of the John’s Is land Presbyterian church. An elegant and recherche sup per soon followed, and if the elements raged without nothin; of gloom or terror was allow to pervade the interior, where all was gayety and mirth; old and young, married and other wise, enjoyed themselves to the utmost and “all went merry as a marriage bell.” Time flew by on the wings of the wind, and ere we were aware of it the “wee sma’ hours” began to creep on; still the guests linger ed, and then, just as the skies were beginning to grow rosy across the water, the bridal par ty rode gayly away to their new home a Few miles distant. The young couple have the ? ;ood wishes of hosts of friends rom both the islands and the bride’s former home.

An Appeal from the New Pastor in Be half of th* Building Fund. Editor Darlington News: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to say a few words to the public. I take this method of an nouncing that I have been ap pointed pastor of the A. M. E. Church in Darlington to suc ceed Rev. E. W. Dix. I find on my arrival a great deal of work to be done and, with Qod on our side, we have laid hold of the work to finish it once for all. We are laboring to build a new house of worship and hope that every citizen will be our friend and will show it by giving our solicitors some of his nard-earn ed dimes. I am a stranger here, but am the friend of every hon est laborer, minister and church in the city. I am not here to destroy, but to build up. I rep resent the A. M. E. Church which is ruled bv the negro and ought to be liked by every mem ber of the race. I have circulated some aid cards for the benefit of the building fund and I hope that every church member, Metho dist and Baptist, will be friend ly enough to assist us as much as possible and when our assist ance is needed the kindness will be returned. To our many friends, white and colored, we say, don’t hard en your hearts but give liberally to our solicitors. Cancel your selves the number of “bricks” on the card corresponding to the amount of your contributions. Though a stranger, I intend to be no draw-back to your city. James Da via, Pastor, Bethel Church. Darlington, Aug. 1. IN THE OLD NORTH STATE. Cleveland Spring* Still a Popular Re. •ort Among our People. Cleveland Springs, N. C Aug. 7.—Darlington’s contiu- gent at this popular resort is fully as large as ever. Among the recent arrivals are J. L. Ed wards and E. K. Atkinson. Mr. A. Weinberg, who was here some weeks ago, was so pleased with the place that, after a brief trip to the mountains, he returned and spent another week with us. There are now in all seventeen persons here from Darlington, a larger rep resentation than that from any other city or town, not even ex cepting Charlotte and Wilming ton, the residents of which places haveawell-known partial ity for Cleveland. As stated in my last letter, the fare is excel lent, and any Darlington peo ple who are contemplating a short trip off could not do better than turn their attention to Cleveland, where the mineral water is unsurpassed, the cli mate pleasant and healthy* and •nail facilities the very best The way the even; speat constitutes a deligh feature of the place. There Blwaya something on hand for the amusement of the guests. Qoshaun, the celebrated mind- reader, who. appeared in Dar lington some weeks ago, gave an exhibition of his skill in the hotel parlors on Wednesday night which was well attended. Several evenings previous to that a concert was given, which was a decided success in every respect, and was voted by all who attewled, it as a most en joyable affair. In this, as us ual, the Darlington contingent had its part to perform. Mr. C. B. Edwards sang a solo, which was very favorably received, while Dr. W. J. Garner took part in an instrumental duet with his accustomed grace and skill. There is some fine musi cal talent here just now. One of the most apparent needs of the place, as is often the case with summer resorts, is “men who dance.” The two or three who are fortunate enough to be here now look as if they were having things all their own way. Dr. Garner seems to be enjoying himself. There is a host of pretty girls here, most of them graceful dancers, and if there are any men possessed of that accom plishment who are pondering where thev will go for their summer vacation, they would turn their steps toward Cleve land if they knew what was good for them. A few evenings ago, eight-of the girls, tired of waiting for the expected swains who never come, took the floor, and formed a set of Lanciers by themselves, none of the sterner sex being “in it.” The sight aroused the latter to such a spirit of retaliation, however, that at the conclusion of the Lanciers, they formed a set of their own for the purpose of dancing the Quadrille—eight awkward males they were, gawky boys and stiff-kneed old men. These were not as well up in the intricacies of the square dance figures as their fair competitors were, and their ludicrous blunders elicited roars of laughter from the lookers-on. Mr. F. W. Crosswell, of Sumter, a jolly tvro-hundred pounder, who has a number of friends in Darlington, and who is just as popular at Cleveland as he is there, had as his partner little Tobias, of Charleston, a mite of boy not a yard high. The through which it flewi —iin widens out at one to aftord rtunity for the formation of a e of considerable i hen this big stock company is organised, (as it is certain lo be, sooner or later,) and all this has been accomplished,—when these sparkling streams are stocked with fish and spanned by rustic bridges,—when the arts of the landscape gardener shall have enhanced the natural beauty of these hillsides,—then will there come into existence what will j ’stly be regarded as one of the “garden spots” of Western North Carolina. contrast between the two creat ed considerable merriment. When the dance was concluded, at the command “Seat your partners,” Crosswell swung lit tle Tobias into the air, givin him a seat upon his t>roai shoulders, and in that.triumphal order they marched from the room. Some of the recent arrivals from South Carolina are J. I. Walsh, R. K. Breeden and E. D. Kyle, Sumter; P. L. Breeden and J. J. Breeden, Bennetts- ville; A. C. Tobias and family, Mr. and Mrs. T. S. Gaillard, W. T. Thompson. Charleston; Mr. and Mrs. M. Levi, Miss Sallie Levi, Manning; T. N. Rhodes. Florence. August is the great month at Cleveland, so it is probable that a large number of guests will be coming and going during the next few weeks. There are now about 125 here in all, the hotel being just com fortably filled, and not at all crowded—and, as I have had occasion to say before, a charm ing set of people they are, too, just as pleasant and sociable as possible. From the present outlook a bright future is ahead for Cleve land. A big project is now on foot (and it gives promise of success) for the organization of a stock company, which is to purchase and develop the prop erty, the idea being to fit up the hotel for winter as well as sum- mer use, and catch some of the travel that streams out annual ly from the North, in search of warmer climes. The equable climate of this section, where extremes of all kinds are un known, adapts it admirably to this purpose. The natural beauties of Cleveland are all that could be desired, and if money were spent on the place, it could be transformed into one of the most beautiful parks in the country. From a triangu lar shaped valley, formed by the intersection of three majes tic and gently sloping hills, with rich verdure, and shaded by fine trees of original forest growth, the healing waters come forth. There are more than a dozen springs in all, sessing various properties, sev eral of them rising at the apex of the triangular valley, unite their streams to form a spark ling brook. which rushes mer rily downwards, augmented here and there on its way by the outlets from other springs, until, at length, it runs, at right angles, into a second stream, of more considerable dimensions, which waters the base of the valley. Countless little cas cades are formed along the sur face of this rivulet by the un evenness of the natural granite AreYou Going to the World’s Fair?

The universal verdict of the traveling public is that the Pull man Safety Vestibuled trains running every day, “and Sun- day too,” via the C. H. & D and Monon, between Cincinnati Indianapolis and Chicago, are without doubt the “finest on earth.” These trains were es pecially built by the Pullman Company for this service, and embrace every improvement. Their magnificent coaches, lux urious smoking cars, superb sleepers, observation cars, com partment sleeping cars and un excelled dining car service, af ford “all the comforts of home.” Leaving Cincinnati you pass through the beautiful Miami Valley, and for twenty-five miles the double tracks run through the very front door S ards of the finest suburban omes in the country. Beyond Hamilton and up • to Indiana polis, the line is noted for its scenic beauty. A stop over at Indianapolis, the capital of Indiana, may be obtained by depositing your ticket with the Secretary of the Commerical Club. This city is more worthy of c visit than al most any other of its size in the West, and offers the greatest inducements to traveller and tourist. Between Indianapolis and Chicago the line traverses the very best agricultural and commercial territory, and the ride is one of unparalleled com fort and beauty. Bear in mind that the C. P. & D. and Monon Route trains all run via Burnside Crossing, from which point the Illinois Central suburban trains run direct to the World’s Fair Grounds every moment. At Englewood connection is made with the electric cars, which run every five minutes to the grounds, put we recommend all rsons to go directly into the larborn Station, which is lo cated in the heart of the city and from which all street car 'ines converge, then go directly by car or cab to your hotel or boarding place. First locate yourself; know where and how you are to live while in Chicago. Qet the locality firmly fixed in yonr mind, before going to the World’s Fair by any of the numerous convenient ways: the cable cars, electric roads, ele vated railroad, Illinois Central R. R., suburban trains and the steamboats afford ample accom modations for all possible visit ore, and it is but five minutes ride from the business portion of the city to the grounds. Take your breakfast down town, buy your lunch at the grounds, and take your supper down town. If you follow these suggestions you will save money. The fa cilities for serving lunch at the World's Fair Grounds are ex traordinary and the prices are cheaper than at your own home, but breakfast and supper should be taken down town, or at your boarding house. The World’s Fair is already the most astound ing and stupendous spectacle ever attempted by any people, and a day’s visit will afford more delight and instruction than can possibly be obtained in any other way o by the same expenditure of money For further particulars, descri tive pamphlets, rates, etc., dre88 r. * x, E.
