'*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

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

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.
