I W. E. WOOES., Editor. - .. ..’jftAUWNGWN, •S.e VJe&ne&day, A^xrjl 1st, 1891. Services at the netbo- «flist 4'burch. S^anflay •n as aiyirical Buster day, •flour iuul K(ool, and t'he special ser- *% iccB. at tlse’JWlimlist church were peculiarly hitcfesling, ami the con- icregatinus both uiartttMg and night, tespecially at the morning service, were very large; taxing the sitting capacity of the church almost to the utmost limit. The services both morning and evening were conducted by the Itev. S. 11. Jones 1). 1)., I’resi- .dent of the Columbia Female Col lege, and it is almost needless to say that Dr. Jones fully sustained his .reputation as one of the finest preach ers in the State, and he was listened to with deep attention by the large congregation that were gathered to hear him. The sermon in the morn ing was fruin the 4t Chapter of He brews. 14th, 15th and 10th verses. 14, Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into (the heavens, Jesus the Son of (iod, Jet us hold fast our profession. 15, For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the jfeefing of our infirmities, but was in .all points tempted like as we are, yet .without sin. 10. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and grace to help in time of need. The sermon was a magnificent ef fort, and was only thirty five minutes long. He began by drawing a vivid contrast between the finest temple service, and the sunple worship of the chnstians, their annual atone ment made by the high Priest for himself and the people, and ('hrist’s atonement once and for all on Cal vary; and then passed to the discus sion at greater length of the second phase of the High Priest’s duty— intercession. The author of this Epistle places Jesus above the An gels, thereby making him Cod, and above Moses who has ever been the ■ law giver of the world. This High Priest has passed into the Heavens and^there interceds for us, pleading the wounds received on Calvary. He was tempted in all jMiints like as we aijtv suffered being tempted, with a sufferin'* real in every sense, yet without sin. ^ ^Sympathy requires experience as a fonis, and hence no one can sym|>a- with the tempted, except one vpp has not only gone through the safhe experience, but also overcome without falling. This makes Jesus our-only efficient help when tried. Two points of interest are only hinted at by the anther of the text: viz, that Jesus needed sympaty and that he got just enough of it to ap preciate its value. Many times dur ing his life he stood alone and at the same time gave unmistakable evi dence of deep yearning for friends. This was notably true iuGethsemene when He called* Peter, James and John to watch with Him, and soon found them asleep; yet He had angels to mingle their tears with His when men would not; while all others had forsaken Him and fled, while the bravest of them was swearing he knew not the man. John perhaps, in a corner in the hall of trial, show ed some evidence of sympathy. , ..Jesus is now on a throne, not of justice, for none could approach, nor l»f equity, for all would then he ex cluded; hut of power w hose peculiar ity is grace. Sin, poverty and dis tress are but grounds upon which all may plead admission into his pres ence. There was a profound feeling manifest throughout the vast audi ence, during nearly all thisconrse. "' The above is but a meagre outline of this strong and feeling plea for ap proach to such a High Priest. , Dr. Jones did not expect to preach at the night service, but as the pas- tor was unavoidably absent, kindly took his place and preached a short but very instructive and forcible ser- xutm from 1st Peter 4th Chapter aud Jbtttk verse. “And if the righteous ’Scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and sinner appear.” One of the special features of the night service was the rendering of a beautiful duett, “Morning land,” ivJuch was beautiful and very sweet ly snug. The collection amounted to nearly thirty dollars. . .In the afternoon, during the tkra- day School services the church was stlso crow ded, and the pastor, Kev. Mr. ilice, delivered a very appropri- at# address. s-The music was rendered by a well . choir, and atlded no little to interest of the services. The gening piece was Millards beautiful Easter Anthem Christ is Kisen which was rendered by tin* whole choir with fine effect. The hymn* were all suitable to the occasion and the tunes selected Were in admirable taste. .. Though very early m the season there was no lack of fine flowers and they were arranged with exquisite aJle. It was a matter of surprise to meet of the congregation tlurt so many fine flowers could be found in Darlington, especially after so much had weather. Just back of the pul pit was a magnificent cross, with a white ground work, gracefully trim- ed with running vines. In each corner of (the recess was a large Calla Illy, and in front of these were grouped other lilies interspersed with different varieties of hot house plants. He.sting on the altar railing were a variety of beautiful potted plants. Just outside the railing were stands supporting graceful palms and jerns, and in the space usually occupied by the Sunday School organ, was a large- dish of geraniums that probably could not have been matched in the rested and when the Mayor is through with the case, the circuit court will take them in hand. They bad al ready had one difficulty and the one on Sunday was the outcome of the feeling of ill will that they both seemed to have cherished. The Mayor fined Pearce twenty five dollars. Garrison was not able to appear and his case was postponed for the present The Master’s Tench. State. All around the gallery was festooned with evergreens and moss. Large Fire at Florenre. • About six o’clock Sunday after noon the town was startled by the receipt of a dispatch from Florence asking that the Fire Engine be sent to their help. Mr. C. Alexander Chief of the Fire Department prompt ly responded and with a pair of mules from McCullough, Blackwell & Co’s, stables, the engine w as rapidly con veyed to the depot. Another dis patch was received about this time saying that the fire was under con trol, and the engine would not he needed, Darlington has not forgotten how promptly Florence responded to her call for help some months ago, and had their services been needed every man in our town would have gone down. The tire caught on the top of the Central Hotel, but in what manner is not known; but probably a defec tive flue caused the mischief. It w as entirely consumed, as was also Bar- renger’s large brick building next to the hotel, and a few* small shops. The Jacobi House was in emminent danger, but a fortunate change in the wind made it possible to save it. The following is a list of the burn ed buildings, with value and insur ance: Central hotel, owned by John L. Barrenger, value £7.000, insurance on building $3,500, furniture of ho tel, etc., $5,000, insurance $1,500: Brick store of W. R. Barringer, valued $0,500; insured $4,000. Bar of W. U.

If the publish ers would fix upon a certain reason able rate and stick to it advertisers would toe the mark. We often get propositions for advertisements which are below our regular price but we prowptly refuse to comply. Often times the advertisers come to our terms and sometimes they do not. There is nothing gained by giving advertising too cheap—when a paper once gets its advertising rates down low it has a difficult time raising them again. As so many trusts Ac., are formed for the protection of those in different kinds of business, it would not he a Iuul idea to form a newspaper advertising trust in order to keep up advertising rates to a decent figure. As things go now we turn down enough propositions for advertising to fill a paper about half again as large as the Reporter. With a newspaper advertising trust we might be able to take many of these at paying rates. Let us hear from some of the brethren on the subject. —Cheraw Reporter. The fiver Preaeta Plstel.
