The pastor will preach on the subject, "Christ's Reversal of Human Judgments." Observation and experience show us that in regard to many of the real serious subjects of life divine judgment is the reverse of human judgment, and we sometimes become confused. In 1he 55th chapter of Isaiah God says, "My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. For as the heav-ens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts." No less than five times in the gospel Jesus practically uses The expression, "Th-e last shall be first and the first last." Tn this sermon at least four practical and important subjects will be presented in which Christ reverses human judgment. There will be good music. 10 a. m. Promptly a* this hour the Sunday school will begin. Officers, teachers, and scholars are urged to note the change in ttj? hour of meet- ; ing and be on hand promptly at lft j o'clock.

"Jim Smith, a Newberry darky, ob.jeted to the hue of the atmosphere i about Main and Washington streets | yesterday afternoon and proeeded to tincture the ozone wHh blue. Jim addressed his unseemly remarks to his wife and a companion with such oral j vigor that Policeman S. H. Broom gathered him ' 'he fold on a charge of disorderly conaact. As a magazine | supply of red-eye was found on Jim, lit was Recorder Verner's opinion that he had fractured the majesty of the , law to the extent of $5 or 10 gang-tiring days" "George Wilson, a mulatto sport, as-, simulated a cargo of tangle-tongue last night and while unravelling the kinks in his oral appendage gave vent to sundry profane outbursts, that Po liceman Wessinger averred, could be heard a block and a half away.

The address to the graduates was delivered by Dr. D. D. Wallace, professor of History and Economies, of Woff.ord college. He chose as his subject, "Education for Citizenship." The speaker spoke at length along the lines of general education in all the walks of life, pointing out its importance, after which he narrowed down to the keynote thought of his address ?That education makes a good citizen. He showed how the duty is placed upon every people and State to educate its citizens. Said the apeaker, take away ten thousand of'the brightest minds from our country; men who can see ahead and conceive, who can organize and pui their ideas into operation, and you reduce our people to a perfect state of intellectual paralysis. He spoke of the education condition in the Southland, and then bringing closer home, within our own ~ * * -1- fr, j State, wnicn louay si.cuiu? mm w bottom in educational progress, giving only thrc# dollars per capita to the people. He made an earnest appcal for a more varied and systematic system of education in South Carolina. His- address was concluded with a glowing tribute to democracy and its father, and an earnest appeal that the people of this State awaken, and go forward, and take their place among the. ranks with other States and nations that have adopted a compulsory educational system. His address was a most excellent and masterly one, and was thoroughly enjoyed by the large audience with which he was greeted. Broncho feature in 2 reels at Arcade and Airdom-e Friday.?Adv. Took the Trick. A conversation relating to the face of cards the other evening caused i Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, to become reminiscent. He was reminded, tie saia or a man from the mountain zone of his state, who once bought a jug of whisky, and not wanting to carry it around with him, decided to leave it at the corner grocery until he should be ready to go ; home. In order that the jag might be prop-1 erly identified, the man took a deck of cards from his pockfit, extracted the six of spades, wrote his name upon it, ! and attached it to the handle of the jug. This done, he happily rambled forth, leaving the jug on the end of, the counter. Two hours later the mountaineer re-: turned, and great was his consternation, as well as eloquence, to find that his jug of electrified spirits had faded away. i "Look here, Jim," he agitatedly cried to the proprietor of the store. "Do you know what become o' thet jug o' mine?" "Of course I do. Seth," was the i prompt rejoinder of the proprietor.; 'Jake How-ell come along with their. seven o' spades an' took it."?Pittsburgh Telegraph. i A SCHOLARLY ADDRESS. Delivered by Prof. ( lias. >V. Kent Tiiesd.1) Evening in Opera House. The address to the liteerarv societies of Newberry college, was deliverer! Tn-psdav tvenine in the opera house by Prof. Chas. \V. Kent, Ph.D., of the University of Virginia. The address was scholarly and delivered with force and effect by the distinguished speaker. A synopsis would scarcely do th.-e- i speaker jus:ice, and only a brief out- j line is given. Professor Kent was j presented by Professor E. B. Setzler, i of Xewberrv college, who did post graduat? work at the University of Virginia. After responding to the introduction j nr.d navinsr a tribute of friendship to ! Newberry college and its representative wi ll whom he had been familiar, Dr. Kent announced as his theme, "Educational Efficiency versus Education Display." He gave a resume of the reports made by the masters of Oxford colleges with reference to the Rhodes scholars from the United Stares and then supplemented this indictment by showing that very much the sam; i conclusions had been reached by the j German investigation of our education in America. The counts in the joint indictment are that American education does not 1 ad to thorough ness and accuracy; that it does not result in adequate mental discipline; that it fails to create in the siudent i the willingness and ability to assay' the long and difficult task; and that it does not inspire the student \vi:h a ! i fervent zeal and ard nt enthusiasm for , learning. After commenting fully on these j charges the speaker contended that! thr effort to mest this indicrment on the part of the colleges by differentiating the course that led to college from those that led to business was an error for exactly the same kind of j training, th'ough not necessarily in the same branches, was needed for the prospective scholar and the prospective man of affairs. The business man desires of the young man that enters his employ (1) willingness and ability to learn, (2) personal interest and zest in- his work, (3) thoroughness and accuracy in :the assigned task, (4) and energy and industry in the prosecution of a task, however long or difficult, until it is finished. The college professor desires of the student coming under his care, (1) ! thoroughness and accurary in the studies hitherto pursued, and the | spirit of thoroughness and accurary j in all work undertaken, (2) mental Jr* f n a f yo im'r> rr o r-> /-3 / ?/?. m _ UlOlsipillit'j o 1 Li CLLL U. V_ W-li^ _ inand of all the mental powers, (3) j power of sustained attention to dif- J ficult and disagreeable task, (4) en-1 thusiasm, or vibrant and vital inter-! est in the new tasks, that shall give j a zest and delight to their pursuit. After insisting that in essence the training for college and business is I one and tha: the requirements of each ! are just what in the judgment of for- j eign critics we are not getting, Dr. j Kent raised the pertinent questi'on j why we were not finding in our educational system just what we ought to expect to get out of it? His answer was in substance as follows: that the lack of thoroughness and accuracy is due to the inherent restlessness of American life which unless controlled leads to fickleness, variableness, and superficiality; to our desire for visible, tangible results marked in education by promotions, diplomas, graduations and public notice; to inherent haste -with its accompaniments o* short cuts time saving devices a*id record-breaking ideals. I He closed by pointing out that it vas still possible, perhaps more readily in the small college than elsewhere to settle down to calm, quiet, unhurried but uninterrupted and thorough work, particularly if the college is willing to forego extensiveness for intensiveness and set itself unflinchingly to undertake nothing > i more than it can do faithfully and j fully. This means, especially where the college is crammed for means and J impoverished in equipment a loyal devotion on the part of students, faculty, and aluir ni bom of hardship j ami therefore a willingness to attack ; dull and hard problems with a certain ! joy of conquest. It means, in fine, to j count display of no avail in compari-1 son with efficiency; and popular acclaim of no worth compared with permanent results.
