The South Carolina Conference. This body met in Charleston last week, and had a very pleasant and harmonious session. Bishop Hen drix presided, and made a very fine presiding officer; dispatching busi ness very rapidly but at the same time very thorongWy. He keeps everything well in hand, and makes short work with the member who shows any disposition to enmsume an unnecessary amount of time. The Bishop has made a very fine impres sion on the members of the confer ence, to most of whom he was stranger, never having presidi over the Body before. On Sunday he preached a very fine discourse, a synopsis of which we publish from the News and Courier: Bishop E. R. Hendrix preached at Trinity Church yesterday morning to an immense throng, the large auditorium being literally packed, on the lower floor and in the gal leries. Lie selected as bis text the 2d verse of the 14th chapter of John’s Aospel: “If it were not so I would have told you.” That which our Lord hated above everything else, said the Bishop, was insincerity. The poor guilty and de filed sonls found words of pardon. But how withering was his rebuke words of Christ. When man sinned his first act was at deception. The speaker illustrated by giving an array of Old and New Testament characters as well as those in the early Church. He then showed how it was the mission of Christ to teach men the truth, to give tl cm the em bodiment of truth, that the Church faW4 have on s ancestors were among the first set tlers in the P< e Dee Section, and bore a prominent part in all the! stirring events through which, the State has passed, especially during and just after the struggle which culminated in the independence of the thirteen colonies. The father of the subject of this sketch, Hon. Josiab J. Evans, was a man of very high character, of fine legal attain ments, and was for a number of years one of the circuit Judges of the State. He also served his fellows citizens as Unites States -Senator for one term. Col. Evans was a graduate of the South Carolina College and was' a member of the Legislature before the War, where he served with credit to himself and with the high approval of his fellow citizens. He was al ways fond of reading and kept him self posted both as to passing events and the current literature of the times. He mairied early iu life, aud his home life was everything that devoted affection could make it. His wife, who survives him, was Miss very uoa ana very man, sect afterwards arose who thought they w^ere honoring Him by de nying his humanity. If this were true, w here would be the fact of his atonement? Where would be the whole system of tinman redemption? The speaker here gave many aptly illustrative proofs from the life of Christ,' ‘ proving that He was very man; second, that other aspect of His life, was He very God as well as very man! Have we taken that wonderful life and deified it simply? The preacher proved from Christ’s mir acles and teachings and Dis embodi ment of prophecy fulfilled that His claims to be divine were true, closing with the facts pertaining to His work iu raising the dead—this no mau can gainsay. In all these in tervening centuries He has been pro claimed King, the Christ forever- I more. What are those truths which we need to know concerning ourselves? The Bishop insisted that the gi .*at fundamental doctrine of the New Testament in order to salvation was the doctrine of the new birth. Christ’s coming among us was not for an idle purpose. He came to save tile)!. The pollntted, guilty, helpless—thtse He came to lift up, transform aud re new. • The problem of the ages has been u. The ringing of tl e children! was inspiring, especially that sf the infant obits‘s, who sung one piece without the help of the rest of the school. At night Rev. A. Coke Smith, whose future field of labor will lie in Virginia, preached his farewell sermon to the members of the Conference. His text was from the 14th Chapter 15 and 16 verses of Exodus, “Speak unto the children of Israel, that they go for ward. But lift up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the, and divide it; and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst of the sea..” The sermon was a clear, logical and searching appeal to his brother ministers to be faithful in the discharge of their duties and to cry aloud and spare not. With eloquent and burning words he brought out the true meaning of the text, and inspired by the solemnity of the occasion and the deep atten tion of his hearers, he spoke with a pathos and power that stirred the hearts of the vast congregation to the'r innermost depths. At the close of the sermon, Rev. W. A. Rogers, the pastor of the Church, and the life long friend and classmate of Dr. Smith, clasped the hand of the ^eloquent speaker, and read with touching effect the beauti- Inl lines. , • “When We asunder part, How deep hdw keen the pain; But we shall still be joined in heart, And hope to meet again. No account, however full in other respects, of these interesting services, would be complete without a mention of how much the interest of the ser vices were added to by the fine sing ing of the Church choir. They have a large pipe organ, which is skillfully handled by Prof. Ruddock, a very ac complished mnsfeian. The service on Sunday morning was opened by a very fine voluntary which was snug iu faultless style by the choir. The hymns were enng to old familiar tunes, and the whole congregation joined in the singing. Above this great volume of sound, the liquid notes of Miss Oarew’s fine soprano voice rang out as clear and sweet as a chime of silver bells. She was splendidly seconded by the rich well trained contralto^voice of Miss Rud dock. ThS- bass and tenor parts were also finely sustained. Hereto fore the conference has been doing its own singingy%ut this is a much needed change and one that will be appreciated by all lovers of good music. ehti .ir ..i.-aran .i WNDS« WOOIS.

Col. Evans was a fine illustra tion of the old time Southern gen tlemen that are so rapidly passing away, and very few'of his contem poraries survive him. Like the grand gentleman that he was, modest and unassuming iu his manners, kind and considerate to all, his whole life was an illustration of the promptings of a noble and unselfish heart, and the unvarying Christian charity that guided all his actions. He was not only a firm believer in the pre cepts of Christianity, but illustrated, them in his daily life. When the war came on he raised a company and was one of the first to respond, but after remaining in active service for a while his health became im paired and he returned home and en tered in the reserve troops, and gave them the benefit of his military knowledge. Like many others the result of the war swept away nearly all of his property, but he never murmured or complained, and was brave, patient and cheerful to the last. In 1878 he was elected school com missioner and held the office for fourteen years. He was very faith ful and diligent in the discharge of his official duties, and was absolutely Miss Eva Lee of this place is sistant teacher at Oats.

The doctrine of the resurrection is not of human devising, it is of divine origin.
