THE PBICE OF DRINK.
-Five cents a glass!-does any one think,
That that is really the price of a drink?
'Fire.cents a glass," I hear yon say,
"Why th^t isn't very touch to pay."
-Oh no indeed 'tis a very small sara,
- You are passing over, 'twixt Singer and
thumb.
- And ?that were all you gave a way,
- ? : & wouldn't be very much -ie pay.
!The price of a drink! Let him decide
Who has lost bis cos rage and his pride,
: . And lies a groveling heap of clay ;
Rot far removed from a beast to stay.
'- The price ef a drink ?- Let that one tell
Who deeps to-night in a murderer's cell,
And ieels, within. Ae fi-es of bell.
Honor and virtue, lo ? and truth,
.; All the glory and pride of youth,
E opes of manhood, the-wreath of fatue,
.vffigh endeavor, and noble aim?
These are the treasures thrown.away, ,
? 'A^tb*rprice<>f drink from day to day.
-^vecents a glassi How Satan laughed

* And that was the price fee paid, alas,
For the pleasure of taking a social glass.
Th? price of a drink' if yon want .to know
Wh?t aojhe are willing to pay for it, go
Through the wretched tenement over there,
With dingy windows and broken stairs,
-Wfeere foul dis?ase like a vampire crawls
With outstretched wings o'er the mouldy
walls,
There poverty dwells with her hungry brood,
-Wild, eyes as demons, for lack of food ;
* There shame in a corner crouches low,
There violence deals its creel blow,
And innocent ones are thus accursed,
To pay the price of another's thirst.
-Fivecentsaglass! Oh if-that were all,
The-sacnfice would be very small,
JBut the money's worth is the te3t amount

Will learn the terrible waste and bligh t

A SEKMON.
The Sermon published below was de
livered by Re v. John Xersba w, Sand ay ?
24th May, and at out' request he has
-^^Bowed us -*e give It to - -readers who
^wiH doubtless enjoy, as we have, the
perusal of this interesting historical
rt_ discourse :
"y :~ ?St. John,xiv, 26: "Tbe Comforter
whidtis tbe Holy Ghost,"
* Standing ' at the prayer-desk on
Wednesday afternoon last, w hi le we san g
those beautiful words so foil of sacred
associations, "Softly now: the. light of
day, fades .upon, my sight away," my
eye rested upon the legend inscribed on
% r"tbe^n_tr?" wmdcw. in the triplet at the
;end_of the chancel, "The Comforter
whtc%? tue Holy Ghost." <&noecting
it-with'the fact that the next Sunday
-(to-day) would be Whit-Sunday, the
Festival of the Holy Spirit's descent,
'and with the further fact that this
_bears the name of the JIoly--j
occurred to'icc-that we
Lfe propriety make this
Annual Parish Day, its
?A It were, to be henceforth
observed with special solemnity and
. ..hallowed joy, suitable.to an occasion of
such great interest to us This year
' we are not prepared to do s?, owing to
the want of timely notice, bat if we are
?pared natii ' another Whit-Snnday, let
us then strive to_eeIebrate the festival
.joI our na?iyity wjth* becoaing marks
and symbols of rejoicing. ; . . .
And tbe time of this suggestion is
-most opportune, -because on May 25th,
1857, just'28 years ago lacking one
day, it is recorded that the first regular
services of the Episcopal Church known
in. Som ter, with the exception-of a few
held by a Mr. Elliott in the Court
House in 18 1 or *52, were given in
--the Presbyterian- Church by the Kev.
Thomas-F. Davis,-Jr., through the
--courtesy of the. Bev. Mr., /afterwards
~ Dr. McQueen^ who- for *o long a time
was its pastor. Mr. Davis says, "The
: kindness and courtesy of Mr. McQueen
was very pleasing." Yes, and Jet us of
to-day acknowledge it gladly?now that
both he'who penned those simple but*
* expressive words, and ne of whom they
were written, have fallen asleep, and
are resting in the Paradise of God from
their iabors, where there "are no Pres
byterians and no Episcopalians, bat all
are one io Christ Jesus. And let asi
lay upon -tbe last resting place of that
kind and courteous servant of God, oar
garland of sa^'itfied remembrance, in
the form of t? humble tribute of grat
itude for his g?nerons and Christian act
in inviting our first Missionary to ose
his Church for a service then, as now,
- to many unacquainted with it, strange
and new, and mach spoken against. It
was no ordinary act?no common cour
tesy, and therefore it is meet thus to
recall the man who performed it, and
tbe manner in which it was performed,
and to bear them both in grateful recol
lection. A month after this, Mr. Davis
visited Sam ter a second time, and was
tendered the use of tbe Methodist
Church. It is not said who was the
minister, but whoever he was, he de
-terves, and his brethren who consented
to the offer, deserve our kindly remem
brance and thankfulness. They went
out from as about 100 years ago, and
what a sight it was to see the daughter
thus making way for the Mother Church
and giving her an opportunity to make
herself known ia a community where
the younger had preceeded the elder by
a good many years. The congregation
quite large, responded better and
stronger than last month?they seemed
interested in the service, and fixed at
tention was paid to the preacher, says
Mr. Davis. He adds, "Many who
were present, had never before attended
an Episcopal service, or, to their knowl
edge seen an Episcopal clergyman.
Kind feelings were expressed, and a
little surprise maoifestedthat no Popery
or dead formalism, or loose doetrioe,
was to be detected io the services."
Such an ctterance is calculated to excite
a smile of wonder as we read it, because
we who know the Cburcli would bewiore
surprised than anybody else, should
any such objections properly lie against
her services, or against those who con
duct them, proviied only they be lojal
to their trust. True, what is called
ritualism" is practiced in some of our
churches, bat even in them the thio^s
done are only an exaggeration of the
use and importance of outward forms
and ceremonies, meant, they claim, not
to teach false doctrine, bat to symbolize
by means of sacred object-lessons,
truths that arc otherwise apt to be for
gotien or overlooked. To see ourselves
- as others see as, let me quote from Dr.
Chalmers, a very emioent divine of the
Kirk of Scotland, who said of our
Church. "The theological literature of j
our nation stands indebted to that j
Church -for her best acquisitions." Win. !
I Penny, Advocate, of Edinburgh, said
**lts massive learning is the very bul
wark of Christianity. Its exquisite
liturgy, second in divine composition
only to scripture itself, binds in one
chain of prayer, the hearts of its mem
bers, and the hearts of generation after
generation." Dr. Barnes, of Philadel
phia, a well known CommcQtator, after
a eulogy oa t&e Church of great beauty,
says of some of our distinguished Bish
ops, "Such names, with a host of others
do honor to the world. When we think
of them we ?iave it not in our hearts to
utter one word against a church which
has thus done honor to our race, and to
our common Christianity." Dr. Adam
Clarke, another distinguished Commen
tator, and one.of the brightest lights of
the Methodist Church says, *'I consider
the Cha-oh cf England the purest na
tional Church io the world. I was
brought up in its bosom. I have been
a Methodist for -00 years ?nd a preacher
43 years, and i am greatly deceived
indeed, If I be not, without any abate
ment, a thorough member of the Cburch
of England. I reverence the Liturgy
next to the Bible." j
Strange indeed would it be if taere
^puld :be" found in a Church whereof
-euch? language, and the like, had teen
truly used by those not of the commun
ion, anything really objectionable either
in her doctrines, ^er services or her
sacraments.
But let us pais on. During the sec
ond visit the subscription's for a church
rose to about ?800, and a month later
so much more had come in that it was
determined to purchase Mr. Bartlett's
tot. Services at this time were held in
the third story of a building that stood
between the stores of Messrs Solomons
and Mo'naghan. In January, 1858,
Bishop Davis administered Confirma
tion to 4 candidates. In that same up
per room the ?rst Baptism and Marriage
in the infant parish were celebrated,
Mr. John T. Branson being baptized
and confirmed the same day, and Mr.
James P. Ard and Miss Martha Keays
married September 20, 1857, by Mr.
Davis, the Missionary.
The subscription for a Church build
ing amounted at this date, Jany./58, to
?2700? $1400 from Sumter, ?600
from Stateburg, ?300 from Clarendon,
and smaller sums from' Cam den, Brad
ford Springs, Georgetown, Waccamaw
and Pee Dee, Charleston and Cheraw.
Some of these, notably Charleston and
Clarendon, have recently repeated their
kind aid in assisting to build the very
substantial and convenient rectory on
the lot adjoining. Let us not cease to
remember these in our prayers to God
always for their works and labor that
proceedeth of love, which love they
have showed for His Name's sake, in
that they have, ministered to our needs,
not grudgingly or of necessity, but lov
ingly and cheerfully. ? It -is not re
corded when the Church was consecrat
ed, but Mr. Davis states that on the
II th Sunday after Trinity,August 16th,
1858,the first service was held in the new
^Church which was then also the happy
pos"seswrT>fa 6?>0 ponnd bell, afterward,
taken down ancTij?ered as a patriotic
gift to the ill-fated Confederacy^ Let us
hope that ere long another such
sionary may hang in the deserted spire,
and from its brazen throat may send
forth invitations persuasive and effec
tive, both far and wide, catling to
earth's busy toilers to turn aside- for a
little while from the cares of the world
and enter the courts of the Lord's House
that they may receive the peace and
benediction which the world cannot
give. .:
Mr. Davis* wise and faithful labors
in connection with the parish came to
an end in 1859, owing, it is believed, to
his having been called t? the Church in
Camden, where he continued to minis
ter most efficiently until his decease in
1865 or 66. To him succeeded the
Rev. Ezra Jones of Minnesota, who had
charge of the Church at Bradford
Springs' also, goit?g two Sundays a
month to each Church. This arrange
ment continued until the Summer of
1861, when in the great revolution then
begun, Mr. Jones found himself obliged
to leave the South and return to a Dio
cese more in accord with, his views on
pending political questions.
A new phase of life was now. experi
enced by tBciUtfe Church in Sumter.
Grim-visaged war frowning with wrink
led front all along our sea-coast, sent
-hundreds of frightened women and
children flying into the interior, seek
ing shelter aud repose. Refugees they
were called, sad and pitiful name, sug
gestive of beautiful homes, the abodes
of refinement and loveliness, sud
denly . left, nevermore, in many
{cases, to be seen. Suggestive
S too of home-sickness and heart-sickness
! on the part of them that fled, for the
sound of the surf wildly thundering on
the shore, wheu the storm-winde went
abroad on the face of the deep ; for the
gentle lap of the waves on the beach
as when on some brilliant moonlit night,
sweet with the breath of flowers, and
soft with the scent of the gentle South
ern breeze, husband and wife, or maiden
and lover walked the shining sands and
looked skyward, and thought unuttera
ble thoughts. Ah ! weil?it matters
not now?these refugees came?they
filled our vacant nouses, they flocked to
our sanctuaries?glad to find a shelter
from the storm of war, a reface from
the fierce heat ot the coDfliet. Includine
refugees there *?ere from 1862 to 1865
more than 50 families of Church people
here, and it must ofttimes have taxed
this little building to its utmost capac
ity, to accommodate the number of
worshippers that entered her gates.
The Rev. A. R. Walker was then the
Rector. He has preserved some inter
esting particulars of that exciting peri
od. One curious item is the fact that
the Holy Communion was celebrated
only once in every two months, owing
to the difficulty of procuring wine?
meaning the pure juice of the grape,
which alone is considered proper to use
in celebrating the Sacrament. After
the skirmish at Dingle's Mill on 9tb
April, 18G5, between Potter's forces
and the mi?tia, the Church was used as
a hospital for the wounded, aud during
such occupancy, many of the books and
vestments and other furniture of the
j Vestry-room disappeared aod were car
! ried away. It seems that Bishop Davis
I was here, administering Confirmation
! that very day, and left town only two
? hours before Potter occupied it. The
I next Sunday was Easter and during the
! afternoon of that day, Mr. Walker says
i "We met around the altar of our Lord
I and commemorated his dying love in
? the emblems of his Supper" with full
! hearts.
I The war ended, the refugees soon be- j
gan to return homeward, and the ?
Church was left with not more than 15 '
families whom she could claim as her '
own, but though greatly depressed iu !
means and spirits as was the whole
Southern country, services were main
tained as usual by Mr. Walker until he
left in the latter part of 1865. Io May
following, Rev. L. F. Guerry became
the Rector and kept up services here,
and at Bradford Springs, and Provi
dence, St. Matthew's Chapel, in 1867
it is recorded that Mrs. E Buford died,
"one of the oldest members of the con
gregation and the chief instrument un
der God, of building up the Church in
Sumter." Her death was mourned ac
cordingly.
A vacancy of nearly one year now
occured, but in August 1868, the Rev.
F. B. Davis took charge as the Bishop's
Missionary. Mr. Davis was a man of
singular purity of heart and mind. He
impressed every one by the sweetness
and gentleness of his character and de
portment, and when in 1873 ho was ac
cidentally killed by a fall from his
horse at Union C. H., there, was a uni
versal feeling and expression ?f deep
and sincere regret for the loss of one
who so humbly yet beautifully illustra
ted the Master's commandments, and
faithfully walked in the blessed steps of
His most holy-life. Rev. L. F. Guerry
nest returned to the Parish and contin
ued his ministrations until Jane, 1875,
when he removed to Summerville, where
he still is. The Rev. W. H. .Johnson
succeeded him, but he remained only a
few months, and nothing noteworthy
occurred during his brief tenure.
Eighteen months later, Rev. R. F.
C?ate came to the Parish in connection
with St. Mark's, Clarendon,and contin
ued so until August, 1878. A period
of great depression now ensued, it
would seem,for not until January, 1882
were regular services held here agaio,
the Rev. Theo. . Porter then entering
on bis duties as Rector of the Parish
and St. Mark's, Clarendon. It is not
worth while to pursue this history long
er, for the rest lies io the too recent
past to require going over at this time.
What lessons may we draw from this
record of our history ? The Parish has
had many ups and downs. This much
is evident, but despite all its trials and
tribulations, it has mac if es ted immense
j vitality. A less hardy and well rooted
[ plant, it seems to me, would have per
ished ere now. Nor ehould we fail to
commend the faithfulness of the few
I who have adhered to this struggling lit
tle Parish through all its varied history,
! hoping sometimes almost against hope,
and loyal to the Church of their love,
even in the darkest days of its adversity.
May we not hope that this is but an earn
est of what will be in the future, because
we are still buta feeble folk, and noth
ing but earnest and united work, with
God's blessings upon it, can raise us to
that position, which as a Church, we
j would like to occupy in this commu
nity. Not that I would wish you to be
i narrow, illiberal or bigoted in your
views of the Church, or in working for
the- Church. Such a mind is; in my
Judgment, out of accord wit1' the spirit
of Christianity as well as its letter, but
there is nothing inconsistent with it in a
deep, devoted, unshaken love for this
branch of the Church Catholic in gen
eral, and the Church of the Holy Com
forter in particalar. Therefore, do not
love the others less, but your own more
^iet there be no spirit of rivalry and
competition between ourselves and oth
ers, sueltas Ijas too often disgraced th*^
annals of Christendom, but let our^^e
"that noble emulation of who can best
work and best agree." There was a
time in the history of the Parish when
by unanimous consent', the Church bell
was offered'to the Government to be
moulded into cannon, and when,
moreover, had the call come, the car
pets of ?isle Vnd'chancel would have
been freely given for blankets to the
soldiers fighting the battles of the cause
which the people held dear.
Dear as it is, we, as Christians, are
enlisted io a cause that should be dearer
"still-?--it dwarfs all other causes.; it is the
great and magni?cent cause of elevating
the world, of aiding in mankind's eman
cipation from the slavery and curse of
sin, tbe sacred cause of the triumph of
goodness, righteousness and truth over
evil, and falsehood and soul-destroying
error?of making this earth redeemed
by the Blood of Jesus Christ,a fit dwell
ing place for Him the mighty King of
Kings, and Lord of Lords. Io presence
of great dangers and mighty emergen
cies, persoti al preferences are always
waived, and we, who are fighting the
momentous h-nle of eternal life?who
are enrolled in the army of the Divine
King, marching to our true home and
rest in heaven, will we not rise to the
height of our duty, and resolve that the
faith bequeathed to us by fathers and
mothers long dead and gone shall be
preserved in its parity ; that the banner
of the Cross held out to us by those
nerveless fingers relaxing in the grasp
of death, shall not receive dishonor and
be trailed in the dust by us ? What an
inheritance is ours! The faith and
cause of Christ in our hands !
Think of the thousands of martyred
dead, burnt at the stake, crucified with
out the gates, giveu to wild beasts in
the amphitheatre, scourged, imprisoued,
sawu asunder, who died in its defense
and confirmation?think of the many
aillions of tbe saints of all ages who,
living, upheld it, and dying, clung to
and confessed it?our elder brethren in
the strife?now waiting and watching
eagerly for news of how tho battle is
going ; think of Christian civilization
with all that that means, as humanly
speaking, dependent upon us; this is
! our's to claim and advance, or renounce
I and let go. Which shall it be ? Men
and brethren, tbe answer is with you,
and may the great Head of the Church
inspire us each and all here present
wirb the desire and tbe grace to take up
our duties and do them, to tbe honor of
Uis Holy Name. A men.
Let us all resolve, by God's help,
that at least the Cburch of the Holy
Comforter, Sumter, our special trust,
shall suffer no lose nor detriment at our
j hands. We owe it to tbe holy men who
have ministered at this altar, now in tlic
Paradise of (Jod, resting from their
loved employ. We owe it to our child
ren coming on, who have a right to -
pect from us that their legitimate ioher
! itance be transmitted unimpaired and I
uninjured. We owe it to ourselves, as !
representing tbe Church* of our English I
speaking ancestry, the A?glo-.Saxon |
people, of whose honorable record all j
j over the world, in this as iu many other
I respects we must fain be proud. We
! owe it to God that the flame of truth j
! and love shall not flicker and fail at j
I this, His sacred shrine, by reason of
j our neglect, but having made our vows
! to do Him true and laudable service, to
keep and perform them uuto the end.
I May tbe Great Head of the Church
hoar and bless us this day. May the
Holy Spirit kindle in our souls that fer
vent love of God and our fellow men,
which shall move us to uuitc and be one j
in love aud good works?that wo may J
seek first aDd always tbe Kingdom of
God and His righteousness before all
other things, and when the evening of
our little day shall come, and the shad
ows lengthen, and the night is at hand;
when our souls are called to enter the
dark valley of the ehadow of death, and
our feet stand in the cold waters of the
narrow sea that divides the heavenly
land from our's, it may be with joy and
not with fear that wc shall go forward
to catch those words beyond all others
rapturous and thrilling. "Well done,
good and faithful servants, enter into
the joy of your Lord."
