Beart) Speaks for Himself In a recent issue "oT the Charleston ? ??M,esweivg?r--DgI'-J. .^E, Beajrd paid a .glowing tribute to Bishop Hurst and ^-the affairs of Allen University. He I_! spoke of the vital position that the trustees of a university occupy He .said in substance that with no reflection upon p?-edecessors, Bishop Hurst'.s management of th eschool affairs was far in acess. He spoke in terms of praise of the bishop's ad dteSs to the Ir'ilsteO' board; and said ? that-hp-wns rtuidy qpd willing to forget the.past as the'bishop admonished in hsi wonderful -address. I was -in-, -formed that Dr. Beard wait^d.-on^-tho. bishop~~wniTb he was here. I Knew that he differed \V7th/the .-bishop; t?i>t,whar the ifishop-^-equiredlof him as terms of reconciliation. Mnbw'IMt However the bishop - is the judge as-to L. whether the rpfiuiremcnts-.have beeh met. I am anxious for Dr.. Beard-to have a perfect understanding with TT~7 -B'shi p liurst, o tha? peace and har^ . mcny can P ail throughout this state q( o?. ; ,u k found in Bishop.

I have ' . - ..'Inured Dr. Board. lie is a No. 1 preacher, a most sue.-fui# pa.-Mr" and presiding elder, and is one of thp'best organizers of ? the frnTmc-ion.?I have always stood with him, but our division) came with 1 is difference with 'Bishup Hurst. I cannot go with any. man or-set of oven against my bishop. I don't fight bishops. .. The hand that ?vmfes and gives iny my. appointment, I do not attempt to strike. T lie re is pot a lasijap. under, whom I have served that -? ?- would not recommend me to his suc ct^-trrr.?2Vt~Chiengir?oTne of my foniirt* "bishops who presided over me in Tennessee said to me in the presence ' of othors from South Carolina, that I could always get a place as long as they had a district. I believe in helping my bishop to put his pro. L_~gram over, and make friends for him. Some ministers are elated when other ministers get in disfavor, with the bishop and will do everything in their tyowor to keep them apart; .but .I con fess that. 1 am glad* of the above~~nt'titude of Rev. Bro. Board, and trust that he has fully emoplicd with the retire tcirma' W" ? ?-L~ - ... , ?.V Mtvnu .tv; iugather in order to make this the great est and happiest quadrennium in the history of our state. . Let us. make our bishop proud of us, and let us be .equally proud of him. I have found / by experience that persons whcr~opcrdy oppose a bishop do not harm him.Rear as much as friends of his well are slfort-Sighted anjj untruthfu17 There are no set of people that will follow, other men too far, when they fin-l-tV'. they, are.bitteyd??opposing tx his' i. Therefore such men cannot , lv '< t p too much or . , hinder hi 'But that which . rn,>st .an^confusinx If the admin: . if a peaceful bish. op js err h.'cgrtcd presiding elders putting their personal feelings in tlicLi jc ommendatiohs instead'of meruit and ability. And men whose ambition exceed their judgment sietenvg-to advise .the bishop. The result of their coun, sel will be the same qa that giver Rehobonm by-the young men of Jtidah. Any man who does not want to SOP rvron rrnf f~ a-*" hy? wscvhci ?s uri enem) to peace. And any man who will - falsely accuse a brother who ha* - made enemies for himself in his attempt to help him, is certainly against tho peace and harmony that shouh. prevail among Christian brethren. Dr Heard has scores of friends in South - v- Carolina that rejoice to see him seek friendly relations with his bishop. A Strange Sight A few evenin?s_ago we were out or our district To re-establish a mission ?? And talking wi<th- some of the officers we were told of the destruction ol crops in certain portions of-that section by army worms. These worms had-eatcn all of the cotton plant which had only a few leaves and were beginning to eat thb tender stalks of corn. Whoever heard of such a pest at this (season of the year. Where js tfcp rc^nedy for such? What hand can stay this dreadful evil?" I was frank to tell those members that no. _ thing could be more beneficial in that community against the prevailing e. vila than that, church which I came to establish. I can never believe anyt-hing, but that the sins of men are the cause of so much destruction in the land today.' I believe that the ~ rbcTl W5re*:U a) other destructive pests are the rern of yip.

What WillThcy Do?
