TiMiHfilXM DARLINGTON, S. 0. Wednesday, Nov. 23, 1892. Miss Bessie Lucas is in town. The pupils of St John’s Academy now march in and out to the music of a drum. Master Fraser James handles the drum sticks. Died in Sumter, 8. C., Nov. 18, 1892, Mrs. E. M. Suder, formerly of Charleston. She was the mother of Mrs. T. J. Brown of our town. By some mischance we hare mis laid the premium list of the State Fair, but will publish next week the list of the prizes won by Darling' ton. On Sunday night there will be a special service for the Darlington Guards at the Presbyterian Church, codducted by the Pastor. All are cordially invited to be present. As there seems to be some doubt as to the time the Legislature is to convene, we copy from the State the opinion of the Attorney General in ragard to the matter. We have received from Rev. J. G. Law the proceedings of the Pee Dee Presbytery which met at Jefferson Church in Chesterfield County. The following resolution, which was docketed for consideration at the next meeting, would be a good rale for all other churches to adopt “That no assistance be rendered any 1 of our weaker churches until ^hey have paid to the support of the Church as much as they pay in taxes to the support of the Government*’ The South Carolina Conference will oonvene in Charleston to-day, and the hospitality of the Charles ton people will no doubt entertain them in handsome style. Bishop Hendrix will preside, and will preach v special sermon the next day suit able to Thanksgiving. There will be something over three hundred delegates in all, besides a good ma^y officials who are required to be pres ent The Sessions will be held ^n Trinity Church, one of the largest church buildings in the city. The Wilfred Clarke Company gave a most excel leut performance on Sat urday night, at the Opera House, and the fine audience that greeted them were well repaid for turning out The piece was a comedy, “Tit for Tat” and we have heard nothing but praise for the manner with which it was rendered. Mr Clarke is a fine actor and receives the highest com pliments from the newspapers of every town that he visits. His troupe can always count on a cordial re ception and- a good house in Darling ton. The two fine mantel pieces, in walnut and oak, exhibited by Mr. Mooney, were by far the finest speci mens of wood work at the State Fair, and were very much admired. Send ing them over proved a very good investment as Mr. Mooney received several" ofders in consequence of it. Merchants and manufacturers seem to immagine that people will know, just by intuition, what they have to sell, and this being the case the money spent in advertising is simply thrown away. They let others draw trade to the town and hope to reap some of the benefits of it On Friday last, while in his office attending to his duties, CoL W. H. Evans, our School Commissioner, had a stroke of paralysis, and is now lying at the point of death at the residence of his son, Mr. J. W. Evans. This intelligence will be read with deep regret, for everyone liked and honored him for the puri ty and uprightness of his private life and for the faithful and con scientious discharge of his public duties. During the whole of his long life he has been a noble true hearted gentleman and a sincere and useful Christian. Rev, J. L. Vass, the Supt of the Baptist Orphange at Greenwood, con ducted the services at the Baptist Church on Sunday night, and pre sented the claims of this charitable enterprise to their attention. The Church and Sunday School have al ready contributed over one hundred dollars for its support during the present year. On the first of Janua ry the Sunday School will under take to support one child which will cost about seventy-five dollars a year. The Institution is just getting under way, aad has about twenty inmates at present. Mr. Vass is jnst the man for a work of this kind and un der his management, supported by the influence and liberality of a Church that is noted for its saal in all good word, will be sure to suc ceed. Our Baptist friends are not the kind of folks to start an enter prise and then let it fail. The Theriwell Orphanage, We have been requested to say that a collection will be taken up, for the benefit of this Institution, during the Thanksgiving service at the Presbyterian Church tomorrow, and we sincerely trust that the re sponse will be liberal, for it is cer tain that no object that could be named can appeal more to sympathy than this. While under the eare of the Presbyterian Church, the Insti tution is non sectarian, and children who are friendless and with no one to care for them are received irrespec tive of the religious belief of their deceased parents. With its devoted Superintendent, Rev. Mr. Jacobs, it has been truly a labor of love and an exercise of faith that is both rare touching. Without any endowmant, and under circumstances that were peculiarly discouraging, this con secrated servant of God has devoted his whole time and talent to build ing up this Orphanage, relyi ig for financial support entirely upon the generosity of the public. The meas ure of success that has attended his efforts and sacrifices is the beste vi denee that could be given for the ne cessity of such an institution. As far as it if possible to do so, he tries to make it a home for the children under his care, and give them both mental and moral training and fits them for the battle of life. These poor children, who, by the dispen sation of Providence, have been de prived of their parents, deserve the greatest commiseration, for even un der the most favorable circumstances there is an immeasurable difference between the life in an orphan asylum and the tender care of the lather and mother. The parentless child cannot close its tired eyes, when the curtain of night falls over the earth, held in the loving arms of its mother and soothed to sleep by the tender lullaby of a mothers voice. No mother’s knee on which to rest the weary head and no mother’s voice to teach its infant lips to pray and commend itself to God. In the time of sickness ihere is no tender baud to minister to its wants. Over its lonely cot there is no mother to bend and send up an unuttered prayer in behalf of her darling child. It must look to strangers to supply its needs, and depend on the hand of charity for food and clothing. The petted children of parents that were once wealthy often find these institu tions their only refuge, aud when this is considered it will show parents the importance of contributing to the support of this praiseworthy ob ject Let everybody give something and the aggregate amount will be large. The Clese ef a Fear Years Minis try. Rev. J, A. Rice, who has been the pastor of the Methodist Church at this place, for the past four years, closed his work here on Sunday last, very much to the regret of his con gregation and of the whole com munity. During his stay here be has endeared himself to the people both on account of his ability in the pulpit and for the conscientious dis charge of his duties in the pastoral relation. In addition to these quali fications he possesses, in a marked de gree, that great requisite, of the suc- eessful preacher and pastor,.common sense, and illustrated this trait in all the complex relations of a ministers life. While always maintaining the doctriues of his own Church, and acting, at all times, in such a way as to add to its prestige and influence, he was truly catholic in his feelings and always gives the fullest recogni tion, no matter how widely they differ ed from him in faith, to all who, in their lives, illustrate and follow the precepts of Christianity. His con gregation wonld gladly have had his pastorate extended indefinitely, but submit to the law of the church which makes four years the limit of a pastorate over the same church. His place will be difficult to fill, for it is no exaggeration to say that he has, in all the requisites that go to make the useful preacher and pastor, very few equals in his Church; for men of this kind are, unfortunately, rarely found. The congregations, both at the morning and night services, were very large and the paid close atten tion to the feeling and eloquent words of one whose voice they might never hear again. The sing ing was appropriate to the occasion and rendered with deep feeling by the choir. Just after Jthe close of the sermon at night, the Choir Sung, “Some Sweet day bye and bye,” with voices made tender and tremulous by the sadness of the occasion. Beauti ful stands of flower were placed on the pulpit and within the chancel railing. There was no preaching at the Presbyterian Church owing to the pastor leingabsent, but their ser vice, for the night, would have been called in in order to give the congrega tion an opportunity to attend Mr. Rice’s farewell service. The Baptist church would also have been closed at night, but for a special service, appointed some time before, which could not be postponed. The best wishes of the whole community will go with Mr. Rice, and all join in the prayer that his life and health may be preserved for many years.
