WEDNESDAY. OCTOBEB 1. '*A Call to Prayer." Rev. S. M. KichardsoD, Timmons ville, SL C, sentis us a copy of the Christian Messenger, of which-he is publisher. He sends also a letter in which he directs our attention to the following paragraph in the Christian Messenger : "AU Christians in the State are ear nestly requested to unite in prayer to God that He will overrule, all of our political dissension? for thegced of the people, and give -us as Governor a .pure and earof&fc Christian wan. That this may be more fully dooe, we suggest that the first Sunday-in September be observed bj the Churches and congre gations throughout the State as a day of public prayer in this behalf/' It is meet, right and the beenden duty of all men to .prayer?to pray ai way s and not to faint?to pray for all men?for all in authority?to pray everywhere, lifting holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In the light of; these Scriptures, it * is elearly the duty of Christians and all others in the State to pray that -God may * 'overrule all of | our political dissensions for the good of the people.'* Here we *urce.--se respect for the call- -of Brother Richardson for the following reasons: "As the two Democrat factions in the State now stand, player for a pure and earnest Christian man to -be Governor, would be manifestly partisan and factional. However sacred and- appropriate the words of such a .prayer might and would be if taken out of present mani fest implications it would be regarded by the people and by God himself as a religions ruse to obtain a factional vic tory. If the two factions were united, making a harmonious whole, and were threatened with wrong and oppression by another combination, then there would be room for prayer to which all the people on "our side" might say Amen. Even then the prayers should be for the triumph of truth, righteous ness and peace as it may be according to the will of God. To pray according to the implied object in that call would be to place one's self subject to a hot ''cross fire'- from the two factions of a "bouse divided against itself,'7 with little ground to believe that God will become a partisan in a family quarrel, where corruption and selfishness may bave so affected the family that internal unity seemed to many no longer des?-;] able without a change. A s in the late war so in the present factional contest; many men have no use for divine interference and help except it be to help them to whip the enemy, being little concerned about asking God to -whip -meanness and deviltry out of themselves. & H. B. Above we publish an article from "the Christian Neighbor, of Columbia, S. C. We think onr brother misapprehended the purport of our "Call to Prayer, " otherwise, he would not have criticised it ai he did. The proposed'object of prayer?namely?that we might have for Governor a pure and earnest Christian man-, seemed to me one which would be well pleasing to our : Father, and in which all his children could heartily; unite. We are com manded to be suhjsct to the "powers that be,*' even when they are ungodly men, but how any Christian man, in the light of the teachings of the word of God, can fail to see that the .k ig h es t blessings to a naties-comes only through God-fearing rulers, we are at a loss to comprehend. We may accept others? nay regard them as better than none at all?but surely we cannot doubt that the prayer from his children, that be would give us one of his ehildreo to govern our State, would be a sprayer acceptable to him, even though because the\peopIe at large be, through this greed and selfishness, unworthy such a blessing, he may decide to withhold it. If anyone chooses to look at a prayer of this kind from the standpoint of a politician he may do so, but it is surely a confession of a deplorable weakness when we must restrain prayer as to the highest blessings because of earnal-miadedness. Can we imagine such considerations influencing Elijah when shutting and opening the heavens ? or Hezekiah when he spread the letter of Seonaeheub before the Lord and prayed for deliverance ? or Daniel when making .supplication for -bis people ? We are encouraged to "covet earnestly the best gifts." While, therefore, the children of tbe world" are en gaged in their strifes and bickerings, let os wbo are the children of the light '' pray earnestly for the peace of Jeru salem" and those things which will best secure tbe present and eternal welfare of the whole people, and among them for godly rulers. Until we, to whom is entrusted the moral education of the people, shall in doctrinate them thoroughly with the idea that tbe only approved type of a man is the Christian, "pure and earnest,*' that only Mich a man can ha*) that wisdom which fits for tbe highest discharge of duty, whether as a private citizen or a ruler, then only will the atmosphere of politics be per vaded by pure and life-giving influ ences. Why is it that this State has ? in political life like Gladstone, a man wbo is not more noted for his commanding influence and his broad and far-seeing statesmanship than for bis devoutoess as a Christian and his coo8cientiousBess as a man ? Manifest ly, because our people do not "covet" and :pray for such men as ofEcials. *Ask and ye shall receive." Surely, we cannot expect to receive unless we ask.; nor >will we ask so long as we are concerned to know -what construc tion men will put on our prayers. It seems to me, too, that we need not in praying for "a pore and earnest man for our governor," be concerned to see just bow God will answer our prayer. Whether be will turn the mind of the electors or the elected, or whether be wi'l compel tbe people or the ruler is surely an insignificant mat ter, and one we can safely leave with him. In conclusion, let me ask, to whom may we look for sympathy and encour agement in an effort to direct the eye to God alone as our help and to raise the Church of God out of the polluted atmosphere of partisan strife and cor rupting partisanship into which it has been plunged, unless it is to one whose age, position and record all entitle bita to-be leader amongst os in preparing the way for the reign of the Prince of eace?the counsellor?the mighty <God.?Christian Messenger, pxihlipked uhyJicp. S. M- Richardson. Who Are "The People."? After such a bitter campaign as bas I just closed, it is always -pleasant to look back upon its humorous features, which number far more than one wonid at first imagine. There was nothing/ however, which struck us as funnier than she freedom with which, the well j [ worn term of * 'The People" was used. To illustrate our meaning : ? corres pondent of the Charleston World wrote from Clarendon bounty under that-worn de plume a few weeks ago to nominate for the position of superintendent of the Penitentiary Mr. H. B. Thomas, of Snorter, who, by the way, has been himself a voluminous writer during the recent campaign, and has contributed his full share of funny things to its. literature. Tbe letter of the corres pondent referred to ends as follows:: Let the office seek the man is a good motto, and if merit is to win. then surely H. R. Thomas will be the nexl superintendent of tbe penitentiary and a great .pleasure will be in store for "the people,\ Query : Who are "the people" who usually derive the greatest amount of "pleasure" from the appointment of a good man as superintendent of a peni tentiary ??Darlington News. un *i I 1 mmm Ancient Oil Wells In Penn sylvania. Petroleum was sought and used in North America perhaps as early as any where else in the world, since it was collected in many places and in large -quantity by that mysterious people whom we know as "The Mound Build ers." When, in 1859, I went to Titus ville, like thousands cf others, called there by the Drake oil well, I noticed?] that the bottom- lands on Oil Creek be low the town, and where covered with' a magnificent forest of hemlock trees, were pitted in a peculiar way ; that is, the surface was occupied by a series of contiguous depressions ten or fifteen feet in diameter, and from one to three feet in d?pth. These were circu lar and symmetrical, in that respect differing from the pits formed by up roeted trees. Inquring of Brewer and Watson, who had an oil well there, what was the cause of this series of pits, I received <no -satisfactory answer ' from them ; but a by stander answered my question by takiag me to his well, just begun in the vicinity. As it chanced, this well was sunk in one of the pits before referred to. It was car ried to the depth of about twenty-five feet in the earth when the rock was reached and the drilling begun. Throughout tais depth is followed the course of an old well, which had been cribbed up with timber, and in it was a ladder such as was commonly used in the copper mines of Lake Superior by perhaps tbe -same .people -who worked the oil wells. This ladder was * por tion of ? ?mal! tree, of which the trank was thickly set with branches. These were cut off four to five inches from the trunk, and thus formed steps by which the well-owner could go down and gather the oil as it accumulated on the surface of tbe water, just as was done by the old oil producers on the banks of the Caspian and the Irrawaddy. Some of the trees which grew over the pits which marked the sites of oil wells were three and-even four feet in diame ter, thus proring that the wells had -been abandoned at least '400 or 500 years ago. At Enniskillen, Canada, and at Mecca and Grafton, Ohio, I found simi lar ancient oil wells. At Enniskiilen the oil was obtained by sinking pits through forty or fifty feet of impervious clay. Beneath this the oil accumulated on the surface of the limestone, and sometimes thousands of barrels flowed out when one of these reservoirs was; tapped. In sinking one pit, which was seven by -fourteen feet in area cn the ba-aks of Black Creek, the operators found that one corner of their shaft out; intoaa older shaft which had been 'rilled up with rubbish, twigs, leaves, etc. At the depth of twenty-seven feet from tbe surface a pair of deer's antlers were j taken from this old pit. Here, as on Oil Creek, the surface was occupied with trees three feet in diameter, and some of them were growing immediately over the old oil weli.?From "The First Oil Well," by Prof. J. S. New berry, in Harper's Magazine for Octo ber. The large sum of thirteen millions, seven hundred and sisty-two thousand four hundred and fifty dollars were paid to Southern farmers alone for cottoo seed by the oil mills last year, which is just that mnch more than they would have received for their products, had it not been for fhe oil industry. Tbe Conger lard bill destroys all this de mand, and takes this large amount of money out of the Southern farmers* pocket, yet McCuoe favored its passage. For Over Fifty Years.
