SUMTER DOWNS FLORENCE High School Roys Elated Over Their Defeat of Florence High School. The Sumter high school football team came home Friday night highly elated over their defeat of the Flor? ence High school football team Fri? day afternoon in Florence. The game was after the first quarter a one-sided affair, the Sumter boys never having their goal in danger and having posession of the ball most of the time. The final score was 28 to 0, this score having been made by five touch downs and three goals. The team as a whole played good ball. The interference was excellent and the fake plays and end runs were too much for their adversar? ies. In the line the Sumter boys were outweighed and the backs fail? ed to make any gains through the line. The first quarter was the only dangerous one to the Sumter boys, for by haid line plunging their heavier opponents came on through their line to within 30 yards of the goal when Sumter secured the ball and ran it back, by means of end runs and cleverly worked forward passes, to within ten yards of the goal line when the first quarter was up. After this quarter Snmter *M not make an) nor* Attempt to make gains through th. Mkc but re soiely on fake plays and runs and forward p&sses. The scores made in th* second, third and fourth quarters, two touchdowns being made in each of the latter and three goals being kicked. Haynswortii had hard work to kick any goals at all as the field was uneven and boggy, plowed ground, something which he was not familiar with. The star of the game was De Lonne. He ran his team well, made gooc" gains when called upon to take the ball, and held his team together and encouraged them in a way that went far in puting In them that spir? it by which they were enabled to make the score which they did over their heavier opponents. DuRant and Brown did some excellent play? ing and made steady and consistent gains. The other men of the team also played good ball, the line men doing especially good work in their places when it is considered that their opponents In the line were heavier men than them. The team is delighted over the showing that they made at Florenc e and hope to beat the Charleston High school, or at least hold them down to a tie game, when they meet , them in Orangehurg next Wednes? day. The Charlestbn team has a fine rep for its excellent work at home, but the "Gamecocks" hope to trim the sails of the "Sailors."

Ezra's Methods Criticized Unjustly. Ezra viii, 15-36?Nov. 19 "The hand of our Qod is upon all them for good that seek Him." eZRA was a learned Jew who headed n great reformation movement. \s God's agent he was largely responsible for the maintenance of the Jewish faith and nation. Fils family had been amongst the many carried captive by Nebuchadnezzar. Ezra, imbued with a spirit of religious fervor based upon faith in Cod and Fils promises to Is? rael, headed another company bound for Jerusalem?seventy-eight years aft? er the return of the exiles. The Jews evidently were prosperous in Babylon, and their exile, for a time at least, led tbem to earnest study of the Law and the Prophets. These were vexed as they from time to time heard of the poverty of their brethren in Jerusalem, and that matters re? ligious were not prosperous there, and the rebuild? ing of the temple which represent? ed Divine pres? ence with the na Afttr a century Of missionary efforts. tion was but poorly served. Deeply in earnest for a revival of the true religion, Ezra laid the matter before a representative in Babylon and before the Ferslsn king, with favor? able results. Large donations were made for the repairs to the temple and the institution of ita worship upon a proper basis, and in general to help the interests of the Jewish cause in Jerusalem. The donations of gold and silver totaled a little more than two million dollars, and the number of per? sons who volunteered to be of the company was about seventeen hun? dred. "In All Thy Wsys Acknowledge Him." The beginning of the Journey with fasting and prayer gives us an insight into Ezra's {>ower and efficiency. "God was with him"?he walked with God. he sought to know and to do the Di? vine will. Surely it is in vain that auy would attemot to serve the I.ord and yet neglc i to bum! 0 tbttnulvt fore Elim and to make r. tuest for I - bloating mho" guidance We wbmit thot fast.;",: and prayer ami earnest ik-sire to know i.nd to do the Lord'ii will are far more efficacious for good than are large donations of money. Perhaps there has been too great a tendency oa the part of many to leave out the matter of religious work at home and abroad save along financial lines, forgetful, in part at least, that they labor in vain unless the Lord grant His blessing. The fact that notwithstanding our wonderful financial efforts during the past century there are today twice as many heathen as there were a century ago. should take us to the Lord in prayer to assure ourselves regarding the meaning of the prayer He taught us?"Thy Kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it Is done in heaven." Seeing the futility of our efforts to bring about heavenly conditions on earth ought to lead all of God's ear? nest children to search Ills Word and to see whether or not it teaches that the second coming of Messiah is to unite to Himself Ills "elect" Church as His Bride and then to establish th^ Kingdom which will bind Satan and overthrow sin and death. The Way of Transgressors. Ezra and his party reached Jerusa? lem in safety aft? er a Journey of exactly four m 0 n t h s. As great a distance can be covered in less than four days with our modem conven? iences, which surely seem to be precursors of the glorious Mes? sianic Epoch, the wonderful pros? perity of which hn<? so long been fore? told. Ezra noon found that many Jews were Inter-marrying with their hea? then neighbors, and that a condition of things prevailed which if continued would mean the corruption of tho na? tion to which <;<>d hn I riven the prom* Prtparetiosu for j/? svih 9 kii\\j<lom. uity. and the He would use lie iding out u hi< ii Ho has the fund Ise of national promise that ultlm them as m natloi of the tlu'hf and promised shall lies .if tie- earth.
