A SERMON OF CONSOLATION

As far as I can see. your tre'tat want
and iine is rest. lroin ie tilei c
enter life a great many vextit ots an
annoyances take after us. We h1av11
our holidays and our sean:is of rerera
tion and quliet, Lat where is thet malt III
this world who has found ti ire re-t?
The fact is tLat God did n1"t make thi
world to rest in. A ship tiht awel
go down off Cape llattera to niiiii
smooth water as a want iii tins wirh
to find quiet. From the wav that God
has strewn the thornts. ti1 hiurng thle
clouds. arid siarpened tile tusks: froin
the colds that distress us. ani the heats
that smite us. anid the pllurises that
stab us. and the fevers that clisule us.
I know that he did not nake this world
as a place to loiter in. God does every
thing successfully. aid this world
would be a very different world if it
were intended for us to lounge in. It
does right well for a few years. In
deed it is magnifieent. Nothiung but
infinite wisdom and goodness could
have mixed this beverage of water, or
hung up these brackets of stars. or
trained these voices of rill arid bird and
ocean, so that God has but to lift his
hand and the whole world breaks forth
into orchestra. But, after .ll. it is
only the splendors of a king's highway.
over which we are to march on to eter
nal conquests.
You and I have seen men who tried
to rest here. They build themselves
great stores. They gathered around
them the patronage of merchant prin
cesses. The voice of their bid shook
the money markets. They had stock
in the most successful railroads and in
safe deposit vaults great rolls of gov
ernment securities. They had emblaz
oned carriages, high mettled steeds.
footmen, plate that confounded lords
and senators who sat at their
table, tapestry on which floated the
richest designs of foreign looms, splen
dor of canvas on the wall, exquisiteness
of music rising among pedestals of
bronze and dropping soft as light on
snow of sculpture. Here let them rest.
Put back the embroidered curtain and
shake up the pillow of down. Turn
out the lights. It is II o'clock at
night. Let slumber drop down upon the
eyelids and the air float through the
half opened lattice drowsy with mid
summer perfume. Stand back all care,
anxiety and trouble! But no. they
will not stand back. They rattle the
lattice. They look under the canopy.
With rough touch they startle his pulses.
They cry out at 12 o'clock at night:
'Awake, man! How can you sleep
'when things are so uncertain? What
about those stocks? Hark to the tap of
that fire bell! It is your district. How
if you should die soon? Awake. man!
Think of it! Who will get your prop
erty when you are gone? What will
they do with it? Wake up! Riches
sometimes take wings. How if' you
should get poor? Wake up!" Iising
on one elbow, the man of fortune looks
out into the darkness of tihe roonm and
wipes the dampness from his forehead
and says, 'Alas, for all. this scene of
wealth and magnificence. no rest!"
I passed down a street of a city with
a merchant. H~e knew all the finest
houses on the street. lie said: "There
is something the miatter in all these
houses. In that one it is conjugal in
felicity. In that one a dissipated son.
In that a dissolute father. In that an
idiot child. lui that the prospect of
bankruptcy."
This world's wealth cani giv'e no lper
inanent'satisfaction. This is not your
rest.
You and I have seen muen try in an
other direction. A man says. "If I
could only rise' to such and suich a plarce
of renown, if I could gain that office. if I
could only get the stand and irave my
sentiments met with one good round
of hand clapping applause. if I could
only w-tite a book that wotuld live, or
make a speech that would thrill, or do
an action that would resound." The
tide turns in his favor. His namre is
on 10,000 lips, lHe is bowed to and
sought after and advanced. 31en drink
his health at great dinners. At his
fiery words the multitudes hruzza. Froni
galleries of beauty they throw garlands.
From-house tops as ire passed in long
procession they shake out the national
standards. Here let him rest. It is
11 o'clock at night. On pillow stuffed
with nation's praisc let him lie down.
Hush all disturbanit voices. In hris
dream let there be hoisted a throne and
across it march a coronation. hush!
Hush!
"Wake up!'' says a rough voice.
"Political sentiment is changing. How
if you should lose this place of' honor?
Wake up! The morning papers are
full of denunciation. Hearken to the
execrations of those whro orrce caressed
you! By tomorrow night there will be
multitudes sneering at the words which
last night you expected wotuld be urni
versally admired. How cart you sleep
when every thing depends upon the
next turn of the great tragedy? Up.
man! Off of this pillow!" The man.
with head yet hot from his last oration.
starts up suddenly, looks out upon tire
night, but sees nothing except flowers
that lie upon his stand, or the scroll from
which he read hisspeech, or books front
which he quoted his authorities, and
goes to his deslk to finish his neglected
correspondence. or to lpen an indigniant
line to some reporter, or sketch the
plan for a public defense agaist thre
assaults of tihe people. Hlappy when
he got Ihis first lawyer's brief. E'xul
tant when he triumphed over his% first
political rival. Yet. sitting on the
very top of all that this world offers
of praise, he exelainms: "No rest!N
rest!"
Tihe very world that now aipplaud
will soon hiss. That world said. of tihe
great Webster: ''What ar statesmran!
What wonderful exposition of the can
stiution! A man fit for any position:

Now. for what have I said all this?
Just to prepare you for the text, "Arise
ve and depart. for this is not your rest.
I am going to make you a grand offer.
Some oif you remember that when gold
was discovered in California large com
panies were made up and started off to
get their fortune. and a year ago. for the
same purpose. hundreds dared the cold
of Alaska. Today I want to make up a
party for the land of God. I hold in
my hand a deed from the proprietor of
the estate. in which he offers to all who
will join the company 10.000 shares of
infinite value, in a city whose streets
are gold. whose harps are gold. whose
crown are gold. You have read of the
crusaders-how that many thousands of
thei went off to Conquer the holy sepul
cher. I ask you to join a grander cru
sade, vot for the purpose of conquerintg
the sepulcher of a dead Christ. but for
the purpose of reaching the throne of a
living Jesus. When an amy is to be
made up, the recruiting officer examines
the volunteers, he tests their eyesight.
lie sounds their lungs. he measures their
stature. They must be just right. or
they are rejected. But there shall be
no partiality in making up this army of
Christ. Whatever your moral or physi
al stature, whatever your dissipations.
whatever your crimes, whatever your
weaknesses. I have a commission fronm
the Lord Almighty tonmake up this regi
ment of redeemed souls, and I cry.
"'Arise ye and depart, for this is not
our rest." Many of you have lately
oined this company. and my desire is
that you all may join it. Why not?
You know in your own hearts experi
ence that what I have said about this
world is true: that it is no place to rest
i. There are hundreds here weary
oh. how weary-weary with sinl. weary.
with trouble. weary4 wiat bereavement.
Some of you have been pierced through
and through. You carry tihe sears of a
score of conflicts, in which you have
bled att every pore. atnd yout sigh. ''Oh.
that 1 had the wings of a dove, that I
might fly away and be at rest!" You
hav.e taken the cup of this world's pleais
ures and drunk it to tihe dregs and still
the thirst claws at your tongute and tihe
fever strikes to) your brain. You have
chased ptleasure through every valley.
by ever'. stream, amid every brightness
and under every shadow. but just at the
mlomen~ht whenl you were all ready to1 pult
your hanzdupton thle rosy. laughing sylph
f the wood she turned upon01 you1 with!
the glare (of a tiend and thle eye of a
satvr,' her locks adders and 1her breathl
the ehill damp of a grave. Out of
Jesus Christ 11o rest. No voice to sil
enee the stormll. No light to kindle the
darkness. No drydock to repa4:ir tihe
split bulwark.
Thank Giod. I can tell you something
better. If there is no re-' onl earth.
there is rest iln heaven. Jhi. ye whol
are wornl otut with work. youlr hanids
calloused4. your balcks bent. youtr eyes
half put out,1 your fingers worn~ with thle
needie, that iln this world you mlay'
never lay down: ye d1iscoutraged onles.
wilo have been waginlg a hand to hand

brings little rest and thle mlornll2ing mre

mel talk about rest!
Look at that company of enthroned
oneCs. It cannot be that thlose bright
oes ever toiled? Yes. yes! These
packed the Chlinese teat boxes andl
throughl mlissionary inisturetio 101scap 1ed
ilto glory. TIhese sweltered 0on soulth

tle cotton pickinlg. wenlt up as white as
if they had nev.er been black. Tlhose
died of overtoil in the Lowell carpet
factories and these in 31anchester mills.
those helped build tile pyramids and
these broke away fromn work on tihe day
Christ was hounded out of Jerusaleml.
No more towei's to build: heaven is done.
No more gzarments to weave; the robes
are finished. No more harvests to raise:
the garners are full. Oh. sons and
aughters of toil, arise ye anid depart.
for that is your rest!
Sovill McCallum. a boy of my Sun
day school. while dying said to hlis
m~oter. ''-Don't cry. but sing, sing:
"There is rest for the weary.
Ther e is restt for the weary."
Ihen. putting his wasted hand over his
heart, lie said. ''There is rest for lie."
But there are somne of you who want

TILE MARION MEETIN;.
At the Marioll lleeting on Thursday
Mr. J. E. Ellerbe. who wants Congress
man Norton's place announced that he
was in the race for congress to defend
his honor. as lie had been unfairly
treated. had had lies circulated against
him and his opponent. Gen. Norton.
had broken his agreement with him two
years ago. It had been said that Eller
be dare not show himself. and at the
Florence meeting at least 100 men came
to him and told him they voted against
him before on account of these rumors.
He asked the people of Marion to re
buke such damnable political trickery
and rascality as that was. (Applause.)
He begged. entreated andi dared Gen.
Norton to compare records with him.
Congressman Norton. another son of
'Marion. replied vigorously to 3r. Eller
be. Said lie: "If you say or intimate
that I have circulated false reports
about you, you tell what is not true.
You read papers here about which I
have nc knowledge. and if it is a per
sonal difficulty you want to precipitate.
I will settle with you outside this meet
ing. I have felt the cold lead and I
want you to understand that I am not
to be bulldozed."
Back from Mr. Ellerbe came the calm
rejoinder: "If you take it as a person
al iatter you can get from me anything
you want at any time and place, and
you know that. -
Gov. Ellerbe was greeted with rous
ing cheers. lie was doubly grateful to
these people of his who had taken him
from the plow handle. It had been as
serted by one of the candidates that he
could not carry his own county. (Voice:
" He must be crazy."
There was a little spat between the
goveruor and "Uncle George"' Tillman.
in his speech the latter said that Gov
ernor Ellerbe had cried persecutioni and
it was beneath his manhood. This the
governor denied and Col. Tillman reit
rated it and went on to say that lie had
never charged him with corruption.
TIhe Governor-No, you haven't, but
if you do you will have to pirove it.
Coli. Tiihnan (vehemently)-Welh.be
fore Ghod, if I thought yout were cor
rupit I say so.
Col. Tilhuan's treaxtment of the dis
pensary question was Iiyely and witty.

LET US GIVE THANKS.
Proclamation by the President of the
United States.
IPresident MlKiley Wednesday
niht i uethe Following
o the People ,I' the United States of
Aierica:
At thi timle. when to the vet fresh
cemei ni~rnce ol the unprecedented
Ieccess which attended the operation
of the United States fleet in the P"&r
of Manila. on the first day of May Aat;
are added the tidings of the xa l.ess.
glorious achievements of the nvaj and
military arms of our beloved. country
at Santiago de Cuba. it is fitting that.
we should pause. staying the feeling of
exultation that too natturally attends.
great deeds wrought by our country.
men in our country s cause, and sho'ed
reverently bow before the Throrw of
Divine Grace and give devout raise to
God. who holdeth. the natious ir, the
Hollow of His hands and worketh upon
them the marels of His high will, and
who has thus far vouchsafed to us the
light of His face and led our brave sol
diers and seamen to victory.
I therefore ask the people. of the
United States. upon next assembling
for divine worship in the respective
places of meeting to offer thanksgiving
to Almighty God. who, in His inscru
table ways. iow leading our hosts upon
the waters to unscathed triumph, now
guiding them in a strange land through
the dread shadows of death to success,
even though at a fearful cost, now bear
ing them without accident or loss to faw
distant climes, has watched over oar..
cause and brought nearer the suecessof:
the right and the attainment of just and,
honorable peace.
With the nation's thanks, let there,
be mingled the nation's prayers that.
our gallant sons may be shielded from.
harm alike on the battlefield and in.the.
clash of fleets and be spared the scourge
of suffering and disease while they are
striving to un'hold their country's
honor; and with all let the nation's
heart be stilled with holy awe at the
thought of the noble men who have
perished as heroes die, and be filled
with corpassionate sympathy for all
those who suffer bereavement or en
dure sickness, wounds and bonds by
reason of the awful struggle. And
above all, let us pjray with earnest fer
ver that He. the Di-pens~er of all Goo,
miav speedily renwXe from us the un
told aiflicetions, of wa r and bring to our
dear land the blessings of restored
peace and t<> all the domain now ravaged
