LOFTIN BRINGS
FACTS HOME TO
HIS HEARERS
SAYS MBIT WHO GO TO HELL
ABB ALTVB AM PROTI<1
OF THIS WORLD.
NO RESPECTOR OF CLASS
!*?'? Wealth or. HI? Poverty Do?
Not P?v? the' Way t? Hfivea
to HrU. Story of Rich BCaa ai
is Told.
"In H?U Ally?" formed the stirr
ing theme for Rev. I. N. Loftln's
lermoo Inst night at the Baptist
church. In a most forceable man
ner. ho brought out the terrors and
frightfulness of hereafter punish
ment and urged hie hearer? to. take
the ?tepg that would enable them to
eecape the' .^orment and auffeitng
that awaited all elnnerf. He llluo
trated his text by reading the story
of the rich man and Lasarua and
quoting tho rich man's conversation
while he waa in hell and suffering
the anguleh of the damned.
"I wish, first of all, to Impress
upon you, one thing, and that Is,
that the men who go to hell ore
not dead?they are olive. They are
just so capable of suffering as we
are right here, or I am very much
mistaken In the facta as set forth
In the word of Qod.
"When tho final day of Judgment
comes upon us, there sre certain
laws that we know will govern that
Judgment. We will be judged ac
cording to truth; aooordlng to deeds
and according to tho Oospel of Je
yuf Christ Amd furthermore, tho
Judgment will bo no respoetor of
persons. Men don't go to hell bo
cause they are rich, nor do men go
to heaven because they are poor.
Classes make no difference. And I
want to say right here, that where
you have claaeea, you have hatred,
and wealth and poverty 1? the great
er! j cause for thla hatred. But re
BOjftbor, my friends, thst Just be
cause a man la rich, Is no reaeon
why It should be surmised that he
is bound for hell, t doubt very
much if John D. Rockefeller will
ever get to hell, but I have my
doubts about Carnegie.
"It yon don't belter? In God, you
are Just aa cure of hell right now
a* If jou were already suffering Its
torments. In Revelations, John
gives u? some of the classes of peo
ple who wlll .be damned in the life
hereafter. They are the fearful, the
unebllevers, the abomlaable, the
murderers, the whoremongers, the
sorcerers, the Idolaters and ALL
liars. You don't Ilk? to associate
with that clase of people In this
world, bnt If you don't profees faith
In Jesus Christ and lire according
to the Bible, 70a are going to asso
ciate with them In the life here
after.
"I said that the mep who are Iri
hell are alive. Prom thp story I have
Just read 70a we have proofs that
they are alive. The rich man talked
to Abraham. Dead men do not talk.
H? saw Lasarus. Bead men do not
see. He suffered the torments of
hell. Dead men do not suffer. He
wanted to drink. Dead men arc
not thirsty. In faet, It Is shown that
he possessed all of the faculties that
he possessed on earth. He was
ALIVE. His plea that salvation be
sent to his five brethren oA earth,
that they might not follow him into
hell, ahows that the Urn and damn
ed are eager for the unsaved In this
world to BELIEVE and esoape the
punishment th%t they are undergo
ing* The lost naa'a plea also proves
that he was in hell because of hlr
unbelief. My frtende, had the de
mons, or the los* la hell, the op
portunity to preach Christ and the
way of salvation in Washington that
these profeased Christiana have,
they would at least Join the Salva
tion army and believe In the truth."
Tonight Mr. Loft In will preaeh on

cession."

Editor Dally Newwt
Dear sir:
Daring rtre last W*ak or ao, I
have read a number f article* In
your paper on the tobacco market.
1 want to aay right bare that I am
one of those farmer* who fook their
tobacco to Oreanvllla^ daring the
early part of the scaaan-, but 1 alto
want to say that 1 am throuRh. In
the futare all of my tobacco will
go to Washington. I can see ab
solutely no difference in the price
pa!d, and when one db&sldera the
tlmo lost, and the coat 4f taking the
tobacco out of Beaufoft county. It
la a self-evident fact tb^t It pays to
trade In Washington. j
1 believe that most of our farmers
realize now that the OreenvtUe
market la In no way auperlor to the
Washington market, and that their
lntereata will be well taken care of
In Washington. I also believe that
lr. the future, yon will aae very lit
tle tobacco going to Greenville. I
have talked with some of those farm
ers who have been taking their to
bacco away from Washington, and
they do not appear to bo vary well
satisfied with the way that? baeineas
dealings came out In Qjftenvllljl^j
I stacarerr *ho9* ? That' TSs ~Wilh -
| irigton market will be moat afleeess
ful during the remainder of the aea
ison and that they will break all
1 records in the quantity of tobacco
sold.
With beat wishes.
