" Biography preponderates in the Bi

lifts its . lid. Shakespeare only ap
proaches tlje Scripture in the multi
tude of characters Introduced. They
are men, women, and children, from
every rank and station good, evil, and
neutral. The whole gamut of human
emotion is run, , and every conceivable

eial reader does not fall to note this
! striking characteristic. It makes the
BiMe unique.
No one nee go far for the reason.
The Bible is a handbook for human

That prophet's wldlow showed gump
tion. She did not waste time inveigh
ing against the cruelty of the creditor.
The law was on his side. Her appeal
was to the chief of the prophetic so
ciety. She stated her case and claim
clearly and followed the programme to
the dot. There was a dash of passion
in It, for ehe uttered (literally) a heart
disturbing plea. She was thrown upon
her own resources. All she had was
Just enough Inferior oil for anointing
her person e. single time. But she must
use what ehe has, not what she has
not. She will not' move a hand in dis
position of this treasure until she has
the prophet's ordters. "Satisfy your
creditor first" is the direction. Noth
ing is our own -until all debts are patd.
-One pot of oil over against a debt,
slid that debt large enough to enslave
!hr sons. But no human resource is
'tffibe despised. It is the unit which
. iitlo be multiplied. She must also per
sonally use what she has. Even the
i prophet can not pour out the oil for
her.
This lovely Idyl of EHsha and the
Shunammite shines In the troubled
stream of public life. We stumble
upon the comparatively small domestic
Incident in the midst of wars and
klngscraft. Hospitality, contentment,
mother-love, bereavement, grief, faith,
and Importunity all are ehrlned Ifi
this story. It casts its light upon the
character of the prophet and upon the
human life of thirty centuries ago.
"A mighty man but."

harmony. The meanest Syrian scul-
llnn wniiM not Iiuva exchanged cutl- i
cles with Naaman. This little girl did
not mope over her hard lot.- She show
ed a cheerful and helpful disposition.
Her contribution was caught up and
woven into the providence of the ages,
which Is to make God known to man.
Help often comes from unexpected
quarters. It was not the first nor the
last time when a word of wisdom was
on the Hp of a slave. And when mis
fortune is severe no advice is too Con
temptible. The slowness of the human heart to
apprehend God is further Indicated by
the next step taken by the. Syrian
ng. He sends an army to make the
ophet a prisoner. He bad learned
nothing in his failure to cope with the
Omnleclence .of God. He challenges
Omnipotence. This effort to arrest the
prophet sets forth at once the temeri-
figlt against God. The timorous ser-1

They make a brilliant galaxy from the
Samuel on men like Othnlel. Gideon
and Samson, prophets of the sword,
and Hosea, Joel, Amos, prophets of the
pen. History of prophecy is equally
entertaining the function and' possi
bility of the prophetic office; how the
personality of the prophet Is conserved;
he Is not a speaking trumpet, but a
speaking man: a seer or seeing man;
not so much a mechanical predictor
of future events as a man with a vision
of the bearing of current events upon
the future.
The Prophet Isaiah appears in a new
role. He is par excellence the tem
perance reformer of his age,. He Is the
model for every age. Ha Is not Intem
perate in his attack upon intemper

not surpassed. Drunkenness -is usual

The low price of cotton has greatly

Correspondence of The Observer.
Chester, 8. C. Dec 15. The second
day's session of the South Carolina
Conference opened at 10 o'clock Thurs
day morning. Bishop Umax conduct
ed the devotional exercises, and read
the Scripture lessons, upon which he
commented In a most wholesome,
practical and Instructive manner.
Bishop O. W. Clinton, of Charlotte,
who left the church Jn which the Con
ference is helng held lit years ago io
take charge of the John ' Wesley
church, of Pittsburg, is visiting the
Conference, having come up from We
tumpka, Ala., where he has been
holding the Alabama Conference.
Bishop Clinton win preside during the
da-.
Rev, McCreury, of Bascomvrlle, 9.
C, delivered the annual sermon last
night. Following the sermon, welcome
addresses were delivered to the Con
ference by the following: On behalf
of the church, Miss Alberta Walker;
gunday
school, Bertha Baum; busi
ness enterprises and professions, J. S.
Stanback. Dr. F. H. Hill, of Char
lotte, responded to the addresses In
behalf of the Conference.
The mayor of the city. W. H. Har
din. visited the Conference Thursday
morning in company with Lawyer S.
M. McFadden, one of the foremost at
torneys of the state. On being intro
duced, the mayor said: "Friends and
brethren In Christ, bishop and mem
bers of the riouth Carolina Conference
ef the A. M. E. Zlon Church, in be
half of our citizens, 1 beg to welcome
you to our city, and trust that your
meeting nere win result In great good
to our people and may be the means
of uplifting them to a higher and
more devoted christian life, and ele
vating all professors of the religion
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ
to a higher and holier plane of living.
That your body of ministers may have
their spiritual strength renewed, and
that this meeting together for a few
days may bc- a most pleasant and
profitable occasion, and prove to be
one of your best Conferences, and
that all things done and said may be
for the nda vm-ement of our Master's
cause. When you return to your
homes and work (though the appoint
ing power may not be able to please
you In all respects) go forward In tho
work of the vineyard of our common
Lord and Master with renewed seal,
vigor and consecration In the great
work of saving souls aqd the uplift
ing of humanity. I again extend you
a most hearty welcome, and wish you
great success In your high calling, and
finally, a happy and glorious entrance
Into God's kingdom."
Rounds of applause greeted the
mayor at the close of his address.
Lawyer McFadden, on being introduc
ed to the Conference, said he did not
know why he had been asked) to come
and speak to the Conference of min
isters, unless It be a personal compli
ment to him from the pastor of the
church. He said that the meetfhg
held In the city hall five weeks ago
by the citizens, and In which, they
did honor to the memory of the late
Bishop I. C. Clinton, showed that if
a black man lived a Godly life and a
life according to the teachings of the
Bible, that he would never want for
honor from any people, nor for rever
ence, whether It be In life or in death,
from any race.
Bishop Clinton, upon rising to re
spond to the addresses delivered by
histtonor. W. H. Hardin, the mayor,
and Mr. McFadden said: "It Is a pe
culiarly pleasant and a distinguished
honor to be called upon to respond to
the addresses delivered by the fore
most citizen of the progressive city
of Chester, aijd the foremost man of
the Chester bar. Our pleasure," said
he. "Is not only because of the distin
guished places these men hold, but
the sentiments expressed in the greet
ings they bring us. I do not know
that the greetings coming to us this
morning by a Christian mayor mean
more than the -bare insertion of the
name of God in the constitution of
a State, for his greeting is warm, and
In the spirit of the Master. It is far
more Important to have the Spirit of
God In the heart, than simply having
the name of God written In the con
stitution of a .State.
We rejoice," said the bishop, "to
have representatives of the Caucasian
race, men of the more favored race.
to malfc us know what we "have be
lieved, that we have earnest and Kiib
stantia! friends, friends capable of
doing us more good, right here 'n this
Southland, than friends In any other
part of the world.
rrhe politicians, and the editors of
the 'yellow journals' do not represent
the sentiment of the leading business
men of the Southland."
The collection for the Church exten
sion department for this Conference,
as announced by Bishop Clinton, Is
$288.16, which is a ffreat improvement
over last year's report.
Dr, J. H. Manley wl'.l deliver the
sermon this evening.
The bishop announced the various
committees of the Conference this
mornlnjr.
Rev. F. H. Hill, pastor of Grace
church, will return to the city from

of appropriating to themselves some
