The members of this church, St. James, worked all day on Saturday to put their church in order for the Easter services, and were rewarded by the presence of a large and atten tive congregation who, despite the bad weal iber, turned out to hear the of beautiful flowera or that were ar- *frmen and the music and to see the ranged with such faultless taste, decorations of the church.

The following reply wa* sent: “The Sumter Light Infunlry will uphold the law." A. C Phklpm. Of course it 4« almost needless to say that the Governor drew largely on his imagination when he said the town was in possession of a mob. It was not a mob, in any. sense of the word, but an assemblage of quiet and self-respecting citizens who were resolved, at any cost, to protect the sanctity of their homes. It is useless to attempt to disguise the gravity of the situation, and jnst as certainly as Gov. Tillman makes the issue and orders his spies to search private houses, there will be blood shed, and the responsibility of it will rest upon him, and not npon the people of Darlington. Its citizens ar" t t ignorant Bussians who can be i ard hounded by the armed m .lions of a despot, bnt self- respecting Anglo-Saxons who hold their liberties m higher esteem than even life itself, and knowing what these liberties arc will maintain them at all hazards and against all odds. A Snceefs. The opening at the store ot S. A. Woods & Co. was a success in every respect, and on both days the build ing was crowded with the ladies, who turned out en masse to inspect the almost endless variety of pretty things that were on exhibition. A number of I hem could t resist the temptation to repeat tbeir visit and seemed never to tire of looking at the numerons articles that always please the feminine eye. The goods were arranged with fanltless taste and in such a manner as to allow of their peifect inspection. Every available foot «f space was Utilized and there was a harmony and beauty in the arrangement of the goods that could not possibly be excelled. The effect of tne display was very much enhanced by a large number of blooming flowera that were placid, in different parts of ths Imilding. Some of the fair vtsitora could not run the risk of some one else getting the special dress, npon which they had set their hearts, and ordered them to lie kept Now the gentlemen mnst not imagine, in their vanity, that the dear creatures are purchasing these dresses to please them, for that is not the case; they simply design, figuratively speaking, to kill each other. Bead notice oTorgan for sale in iwfflhrr ctIiuhh. Some of the finest conservatories in town belong to the members of this church and their choicest flowers were utilised to transform the build ing into a place of wondrous beauty. Along the sides of the gallery were suspended festoons of evergreens which added a great deal to the beantv of the decoration*. Outside the chancel railing were arranged stately "palms, graceful ferns and groujis of beautiful blooming flow ers. On each side of the railing, underneath the gallery were placed a beautiful arrangement of calla lilies. The chancel railing was most gleefully dressed with moss and evergreens. On the right of the railing there was a beantiful ar rangement of white flowers, sur mounted by a cross, attached to which was a card bearing the words, “In Metnonat>i Mrs. M. J. Woods.” Under the arch, just in rear of the pnlpit was a pyramid of calla lilies, I be rich dark green of .the leave* ami tlie pure while flowers |>resent- ti.g an a|q<enraiice the stately Iwautv of which canno*. lie well ileserilie*j. Oil eaell side of Hie pulpit were arranged groups of line hot house flowers which were very much en hanced. Tlie reading desk was eov- ered wiili cream colored cloth and most gracefully draped with vines and white flowers, and if any com parison could be made it was the most beautiful of all the decorations. It was a great disappointment, not only to the ladies who worked so ham to arrange the flowers, but to the people generally that the weather was so bad as to prevent a lane number who wished to attend the services from being present Despite the rain, however, there was qnite a large congregation out in the morn ing and the services were very much enjoyed by those who braved the weather. ' The sermon, which we publish in another column, of the pastor, Bev. J. K. Carlisle, was a clear and strong presentation of the Christian belief in the resurrection, and was listened to with marked attention by ths congregation. The musical part of the service was unusually good and reflected credit on the organist and choir. The. hymns were 121, 116,' 118. The beantiful voluntary, “lift up yoqr heads, O, ye gates,” by Budds, was admirably sung, and was an appropriate opening for one of the most interesting services ever held in the church.. The offertory was “lift your glad voices,” by Waescbe, was also sung with exquis ite taste. The tenor solo was sung by Mr. Frank Pegues, whose clear sweet yoice brought out all the beauties of the piece. The bass solo was rendered by Mr. Wood with a voice as full and deep as the notes of a pipe orgau. All the singers, as well as the organist, did full justice to their parts. The choir consisted of the following persons: Organist and soprano, Miss Jennie Bast Soprano, Miss Mary Zimmerman and Mrs. J. H. Mason. Contralto, Miss Lisxie Bast. Tenor, Mr. Frank Pegues. Bass, Messrs. Wood and Vajghn. Owing to the ceaseless downpour of rain, and the absence of some of the singers the mnsical programme, for the night service conlu be carried out. The night sermon was preached by the pastor and was ap propriate to the occasion. AT THE EPISCOPAL CUl'BCH. The Easter services at this church were held at 4 o’clock on Sunday afternoon and were enjoyed by a congregation that filled the building to its utmost capacity. The services were condnctcd by the Bev. R. W. Barnwell, rector, who preached a very thoughtful and interesting ser mon from the following text: “This then is the meesage which we have of him, and declare unto you, that God is light and in him is no dark ness at all”—1st Epistle of John, ltd. The church was very tastefully decorated and presented n very hand some appearance, the flowers used being principally white. In place of the reading desk was a large cedar cross, studded with scarlet gerani ums. The altar wag entwined with ivy and made farther beautiful by white axaleas and other flowers. The ohanoel was draped with ivy and wisteria. The fount was prettily trimmed with white flowers and smilax. A white anchor entwined with smilax rested on it, with the words: “In memoriaai, Mrs. Wag ner.” The music was good and very much enjayed. The first piece ren dered was the Easter Anthom. The offertory was “Moftly now the Light of Day,” by Baumbach. The regu lar Easter chants were sung, as were also the hymns selected for the occasion. The members of the church desire in this connection to express their obligations to Miss Mary Isiw and Messrs. Wilds and Powell for their assiitanue in the music. The church was darkened and the lamps were used during tlie seryice. [We regret that we are unable to give a synopsis, at least, of this ser- services were all appropriate to the occasion, and both the sermon and mnsic were fully up to the expecta tions of the oongreipitioa.

What does this expression mean? It means the returning of life into the dead body of Jesns, and the returning of that revived body out of the grave into visible and ac tive living. The event so named is of vast import to Christianity, as the divine signature and seal of the Gos pel of Love and Salvation proclaimed by Jesns. He had been born at Bethlehem, after angelic notification to His mother, the Virgin Mary. His life had passed in quiet training in the home, the village school, and the carpenter’s shop, until thirty years had passed; then, in varying degrees of popularity and persecu tion, as the great Teacher and Preacher, until three more years had passed; then He had been arrested, tried by the Jewish Church court, then by the Roman civil court, and condemued to death on false testi- moby and through Pilate’s coward ice. He was crucified on the day commemorated by “Good Friday,'’ buried I bnt afternoon, and lay in the tomb, which was officially scaled, until Sunday daybreak, when He arose into renewed Jile. We arc told that angels came aud opened the tomb for Him. lie did not, need such help, but kindly let them do for Him what they could, according to the desire of their loye.

Ever since that time, the doctrine of Christ’s Resurrection has been an integral and essential part of the great system of doctrine called Christianity ; which has never been known without it (2.) Did such an event really occur? Why do we believe in its reality? 1. Recanse it is plainly and cir- cumstantiully narrated in the’New Testament Scriptures. This is very strong evidence. . The New Testament is'the ancient Book of Christianity. For -many centuries it has existed in the world, ’known, recognized and believed. It js not .a .book of recent discovery; not modern translation of ancient hieroglyphic or cuneiform writings. It. has been known, copied and re- copied, rewj by. mnltitudes, studied by theologians, commented upon in bpoks, for many centuries. It has r often been impeached as to its au- nesses that Jetms arose from the dead. Yet those Disciples evidently believed what they asserted, and rested all ef Christianity on this event In support of it they suffered cruel persecutions and horrid deaths; perfect folly, eyen insanity, if it were false; but highest wisdom, if it were true. (2.) The power of belief iu this doctrine is evident even now. There is no' system of thought, philosophy or religion, comparable to Christ’s in the uplifting and spiritualizing of humanity. Its pure morality, its fundamental principle of lore to God aud man, its doctrine of the 6 resence and continuance of the •ivine Spirit in the world, its ex alted and comforting hopes of im mortality and Heavcu, are immeasu rably superior to the teachings of any other system. But all these are powerless, if the Resurrection of Jesus be denied. The whole system of the Gospel is nullifiad. The Holy Ghost cannot accomplish His work of Regeneration and Comforting. Spiritual deadness, moral obliquity, intellectual deformity, and destitu tion of all hope, arc the itortinn of h m who accepts all of the Gospel but the Resurrection of its Christ. Only those who believe this doctrine experience and illustrate the well known effects of the Gospel of Faith. For these and other reasons we believe that Christ’s Resurrection was a reality. (3.) Did Jesns rise into a tempo rary, or an everlasting life? We most answer by the scriptures, since this is matter of revelation, not of history. Text: Rom. 6; 9: “Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over Him.” Lazarus, Jairus’ daughter, the son of a widow at Nain, all were raised to life, bnt to die again. Jesus arose to die no more. He bronght to light from the darkness of myste rious death, not only life (as in Laz arets), but also immortality. When Lazarus shall be raised again, it will be in the likeness of Christ’s resur rection—i. e., into immortality; for “death hath no more dominion over Him.” To-day He who was slain and buried at that Jewish Passover tide is “highly exalted,” even “Hit the right hand of God” in Heaven, as our Eternal “High Priest,” who “ever liveth to make intercession for us.’ Floral Fair Prralam List.

We a t „ will publish the name of the wiuucr ijuoti, but the friend vbo so kindly |iu our next issuv, is evidently of divine origin; and its effects in the world evidently prove that the diyine sanction has never been withdrawn from it. The fact that any event is recorded in this Book ns true, is prinia fnric evidence of its reality. No event is more em phatically asserted therein than the Resurrection ot Jesus Christ. s 2. We believe this doctrine, be muse, also, all history testifies that It has ever been a doctrine of the Christian Church. The Church has never been an or ganization witli secret doctrines. Even in the Dark Middle Ages, when Romanish priestcraft domina ted Christendom, and controlled men’s beliefs and consciences, the doctrines of Christianity were pub licly known, if not rightly under stood by all men. The world has known, through all these genera tions, that the Resurrection of Jesus was a prime belief in tlie Church called after dim. 3. The origin of this doctrine is not lost back in th« dark, prehistoric ages, like the origin of myths. This event is assigned to a definite time and place. The name of the laud, Jndea, and th«t of the city, Jerusa lem, have liocn well known and cer tified for thousands of years. The names of Emperor of Rome, Gover nor of Judea, High Priest of the Jews, are all giyen. The very dates in the life of Jesus are so defined that that of His death is established. The time of year, Spring, Jewish Feaet of Paeeover, and other items of the very days of the Death and Resurrection of our Lord—all these are succinct and circumstantial in the narration. No obscurity of my thology belongs to Christianity. 4. We believe this to be a fact, because it lias never been disproved. Time and again men have tried to disprove it, with all the logical acu men of highly cultivated intellects. They have proved front nature’s laws the improbability of such an event; but have always failed to disprove the fact of the etent. 5. lastly, we believe it because of the effects of tlie belief. (1.) The Disciples staked their lives for time and eternity on this doctrine. All the other facts of Jesus’ career were well known to all the |>coplc, down to His death aud burial; but they did not know of His resurrection, not having seen it oezair, or llini afterwards.
