Nash tilled his regular appointment at Salem church Sunday and preached a forcible sermon to a large congregation on the subject of consistency among church members. Lev. J. E. Lellov preached an able sermon on the same line the Sunday before at Loco. We a>o glad that the preachers are giving ilieir for atten¬ the tion to this important matter, churches of this country certainly need reviving or remodling, as it 1ms become almost impossible to fell many of the so-called Christians from the worldlings when you sec them avvav from the church. 'Lite great need of the age is true manhood. When von make a profession stand to it ; don't be hypocritical, Of all the detestable things in this world is a person that hasn’t got the man¬ hood to deline his position in any avocation of life. There were many sad faces at Salem last Sunday caused by the news of the tragic death of t hat good man, Rev. 'Tiros. West, of McDuffie, who was well known and much admired in this section. Well, Mr. Editor, contrary to my prediction some time hack, it seems that we are in the midst ofwar at last. Our congressmen were blood¬ thirsty ’lighting; and were just obliged to do a little or at least order the people to do it. But what are they lighting for? It seems to us that. they have left the main issue and jumped upon another hobby. It looks like Pncie Sam has an elephant on his hands at present, is <i politician’s war and the pcop’e are not catching on so fast as fcuev ex¬ pected, hence their dileinna. Wo are no lawyer nor the son of one, but it looks to us like they would have a hard time forcing the subjects ot this government to war against nnotlur nation, when the rights and Iibelli’S of this country have never been molested by them. Now, my advice to all Populists is, don’t let vour minds be drawn off by the excitement of war, but let us be more alert for in this hour of gloom and bloodshed may appear t he golden opportunity for the slic¬ cess 'd!' the grand reform principles for which we have been struggling so long.
