The Week of Prayer.
It is a beautiful thought, that
of beginning the New Year with a
week of prayer. The cosmopolitan
Shakeepear would tell us, “All’s
well that ends well,” but it is
wise to begin all things right—all
things worthy of undertaking.
Many more lives would have
blessed humanity if they had been
begun right. Wo are told, “Take
care of the pennies and the dollars
will take care of themselves.” It
i might be said, take care of the
children and the men snd women
will take care of themselves. Upon
the hillside of life streamlets are
timidly passing us. Only a pebb.e
will change the direction of these
human brooklets. “Each day is a
little life.” What would it mean
to this world if all our days were
begun with prayer? What won
ders would come to this earthly
home if all lives were begun right?
The Archdeceiver through his.
agents has wrought awful
in hearts, in home in communities
and throughout this world; but
on the other hand, “More things
are wrought by prayer thau this
world dreams of,” says Tennyson.
Every prayer uttered in the spirit
of the Christ will be answered. It
must be so. Let us with prayerful
hearts, busy brains and hands, set
ourselves to the tasks assigned us
and thus honor the Creator and
make lives better and brighter not
only for the New Year but for the
years to come. We will reform
characters if we can, and form
characters we must in the name
and strength of the Blessed One.
It is said that for more than
half a century, Christians in many
lands have set apart the first week
of January for united prayer. The
Summerville W. C. T. U., with
thousands of other temperance
and mission workers observe the
week of prayer. Services are being
held every afternoon at the Meth
odist church at 2 o’clock. The
last will be held Friday afternoon.

All the women and children are
invited to attend every service.
The work of prayer as observed
here for several years has proved
a blessing to those who attended
and it is believsd that it will
again. Let us give our prayers
and influence for the onward
march of the great work of tem
perance—“the moderate use of all
things helpful and the total absti
nence of all things harmful.” The
huge mill of intemperance is
grinding to ruin millions of the
race of mankind. Let us come to
gether and pray for our own
hearts, for our homes, for our
churches, for messengers of right
eousness at home and in every
land, for our voters, Ln the offi
cers of our toy,'n, of our state and
of our nation . “He prayeth beat
who loveth best;” so let our hearts
be filled with love for God and
humanity and then let us pray and
work lor the advancement of ull
that is a blessing to tno human
family and let us pray and work
for the overthrow of all that ia a
curse. E. P.
To Our Voters.
Friends: —ln your loved ones I am
interested; in your homes lam inter
ested and in your every soul’s welfare
lam interested. I address all feeling
that 1 am a friend to each and all; feel
ing that each is my friend, that all are
my friends. In your hands rest the
interests of the town of my childhood,
of my youth and of mature! years. I
may not agree with you on many ques
tions but my sympathy and best wishes
are extended when I think of the re
sponsibilities devolving upon y u. In
the calm hour of midnight when all
are expec'ed to be in repose lam pen
cilling these words. Seme of my hap
piest efforts and deepest pleasures
have been those for several years when
I was trying to incline in right ways
many twigs—your boys. Sweet and
lofty inspiration has been given as I
worked with them, appreciating them
for what I believed they could be and
for what I hoped they would be. I
am better and happier on account of
labor such as this. Boys have grown
to years of worthy manhood, making
me feel amply paid for earnest thought
and hopeful deed; but I am not satis
fied which makes me speak to you out
of an anxious heart. I believe the
most gigantie issue that looks to your
settling is whether the saloon shall be
or not be in our town.
To the fathers: The desire of every
father should be that his children
“know what is right, love what is right
and do what is right.” It is of much
importance that the youth be taught
by precept wbat is right, but it is of
much consequence that he be shown
what is right by example. When the
boy inquires why he should do this or
that, 01 why you do this or that, if you
can say because it is right, yours is the
only satisfactory reason. No other
will keep the conscience peaceful or
will meet the approval of the All wise
Judge.
To the bar-tenders: I believe your
physical self is growing weaker and less
fitted for life’s duties every hour; your
inteilec u.il self is becoming more and
more indifferent about things good and
uplifting; your spiritual self mote and
! more satisfied with things pertaining
loniy to this fleeting life. You are not
my father, you arc not my brother but
you are my fellow-travellers from time
, to eternity, so if I knew it were God’s
will and that it would lead to a change
( in your lives. I would willingly kneel
with you in your houses of business
and pray the prayers often ut'ered in
secret. Is the work of your minds and
hands blessing men and their homes
0 or cursing men and their homes? I
1 beseech you to think soberly and pray
I to our Father in Heaven.
1 To the lawyers: The voluminous
1 statute-books of state and nation de
-1 raand your vocation. A good Chris
g tian lawyer is, I think an ideal man.
j May the Distributor of gifts give us
more of them. Do you love law and
I want it kept? Wbat fills jails, court
rooms, penitentiaries, asylums and
premature graves? What calls most
often for the gallows? What blights
3 more homes and lives? We are oblig
-3 ed to think of the saloon. Shall it be
• or not be?
1 To our physicians: Our temperance
f hospitals in Chicago and London are
■ demonstrating year after year how that
r all diseases can be successfully treated
. without alcohol. We believe the time
] is approaching when alcohol will be al-
I most if not altogether abandoned by
• your profession. Until this era comes
I we commit to you our sick ones for
I healing if they are to be healed, and
if you bid us administer spirituous li-
• quors, we will quickly obey, knowing
1 nothing better to do. I ask you to be
1 prayerful and cautious before prescrib
i > n g drug that has deceitfully found
its wJy'W’ the life-blood, to the down
fall of millions.
To those engaged in other pursuits:
1 Have you more dollars because .f the
■ saloon? If so, your heavier purses
: mean heavy hearts in many homes.
; Does your father, your son, your
- brother, or your friend deal out the
grogshop’s fiery liquid? If not, some
> body’s father, somebody’s son, soms
, body’s brother or somebody’s friend
does or will. If it must be, give us
■ less money, but empty jaiis, a decrease
1 in asylum inmates, and other results
• and then we will have happier hones,
1 hence a brighter world and more to
reap bliss hereafter. Why not build
• larger school buildings—fill them with
• pupils and add to home libraries, in
-1 stead of robbing men of brains, vital
-1 ity and manhood?
To al), I say: Unite your hands to
make our little town a place where the
highest good is sought for all. Make
it a place where, as it were, one indus
trious noble family lives for the glory
of God and the uplifting of humanity.
Make it a place where all pray and vote
and live with an eye upon the Father
of all—and with hearts in touch with
all that is best for this life and forthat
which is to come. Help the “brothers
' in black” to use their liberty in over
' coming all that is against their race.
Help them in the name of liberty to be
1 ever rising towards higher things. As
the departed Gladstone would suggest,
make it easy for all to do right, but
1 hard for any to do wrong.
These deeply felt sentences may not
have a feather’s weight of influence,
. but the heart from which they come is
lighter because there has been seized
1 0
a golden opportunity. E. P.
Coughing
Constant coughing is very annoying,
and the continuous hacking ana irri
tation will soon attack and injure the
delicate lining of the throat and air
passages. Take advice and use Dr.
r Bull’s Cough Syrup in time. This
wonderful remedy will cure you.

Editor News: —Allow mo to tell
you how the Masons of Lyerly and
some visiting brethren spent Tues
day, 27th, tilt. The morning wits
lair and the air just crisp enough
to make one feel that it was good
to be living. Having received an
invitation to meet them in their
own hall to hold a memorial ser
vice .5 three deacon brethren, to
wit: Barker, Conley and Floyd,
in fact they are the only deacons
belong'ng to the lodge since its or
ganization. I gladly accepted and
repaired to the hall, where I found
a good crowd of people consisting
of ladies, children and men of dif
ferent denominations—Primitive
Baptists, Missionary Baptists,
Methodists and Presbyterians.
Service was opened by song and
prayer, after which Rev. Glazner
was called out by officer presiding,
who gave the audience some fine
memories on each of the deacon
brethren. Capt. Foster was then
called on and delivered in his orig
inal style eulogies on each of the
brethren that brought tears to the
eyes of many in the audience.
Then Cols. Lee Smith and Trapp
McWhorter was each called on and
delivered good practical talks,
urging the people to higher living
and prompt discharge of duty
when occasion demanded. After
a song and prayer service was
closed to allow the ladies to pre
pare the dinner, they went into
the academy and tables were
spread with dinner, and such a
cns is seldom seen; trible across
the building, fairly groaning with
the most tempting viands and the
welcome address delivered by Rev.
Glazner, in which every one pres
ent was made to feel welcome and
at home. After th* dinner was
socially enjoyed the crowd was
addressed by young and rising
Gilbert Holland,giving an outside
desertation on Masonry. The
crowd was dismissed and the
Masons returned to their hall. For
further servioo it was a feast for
both scul and body, and greatly
enjoyed by the people present.
