The delicacies which caused the
tables to groan were too numer

MADAM BOOKER READS
AT SIDNEY PARK.
Columbia has seldom had the
pleasure of hearing a reader of
the calibre o f Madam Dayse
Booker, who gave a recital at
Sidney Park church iast Wednes
day evening. The four selec
tions that the reader gave show
ed her versatility and were as
follows:
The Blacksmith's Story, Dun
bar's Encouragement, a selection
depicting a little mischievous
girl, and the dramatic poem of
Itaiian life called the Confession
al, The histrionic ability dis
playeP by Madam Booker was
markedly apparent in each selec
tion. Perhaps her Negro dialect
did not always ring true but any
deficiency along this line was
more than made up by the de
lightfully humorous activity.
In the "Confessional," the
character Nina runs the gamut
of the emotions, love, jealousy, j
hatred, fear, revenge, contrition !
all of which the artist portrayed
most convincingly. Mrs. Jeffers
assisted by Miss Daisy Jackson
and Dr. Henry Hardy of Spar
tanburg rendered several musi
cal numbers that received hearty
applause.
SPECIAL SERVICES AT
WESLEY.
Last Sunday was a memorable
day fer Wesley's congregation
and friends, because of the two
interesting and unusual services
that were held in the beautiful
edifice on Gervais street.
In the morning Rev. C. C.
Scott, the pastor, preached a spe
cial sermon, the theme of which
was "Housebuilding and House
keeping" based on the text "Set
thine house in order, for thou
shalt die and not live," II Kings
20-1. The sermon was repl?te
with wholesome advice presented

with the literary finish for which I
the discour ses of Rev. Scott are !
noted, Prof. F H- Thomas had j
charge of the music, which state- !
ment is sufficient to convince one I
of the excellenc? of that part of j
the-service.
At night an unusually large
congregation, consisting of rep- j
resentatives of all denominations j
was present. Among the minis
ters taking part were Revs. W.
D. King, J. H. Johnson*; A. P.
Hill, I. Keitt and John Simmons
o f Camden. Speaker M. L.
Smith failed to appear, but in
lieu of him, Mrs. Dayse Booker
made the princiyal address. This
lady has been heard so often in
lectures and readings during the i
past three weeks that it is really !
superfluous to speok in terms of j
praise of her masterful discourse
last Sunday night. It was the'
topic of conversation in Columbia j
next morning. The offering for:
the day amounted to $34. A
worn as to Rev. Scott. During |
his incumbency as pastor of Wes
ley M. E. church, the attendance
has more than trebled, Perhaps
this may be accounted for, in
that this gentleman is so well !
knfiwn in this community partie- !
ularly to the Columbians of an |
elder day and their descendants.
Widely read, and broad in views,
Rev. Scott has a mission to young
men.
Neqt Sunday will be a great
day also. Rev. C. C. Jacobs
field worker for the Board o f
Sunday schools will preach at
the ll oVock service in the
morning and address the Sunday
school in the afternoon. Rev.
E. B. Burrows, D. D. District
Supt. will preach at night. The
pasror extends a cordial welcome
to the public.

'IN MEMORY/
Prof. J. D- Baldwin departed from this world a
weeks ago and by his death his friends feel a great
but we feel our loss is his gain.
His place is vacant in his home
Which never can be filled,
His smiling face we see no more
Until we meet on the golden shore.
We know thou art peacefully sleeping,
Abel, sleep and take thy rest.
We loved thee dear,
But Jesus loved the best.
Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low,
Thou no more will join our number,
Thou no more our sbrrow know.
Dearest friend you have left us here
Thy loss we deeply feel,
N But 'tis God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
Yet again we hope to meet you
When our work on earth is done.
Then in heaven with joy to greet you,
And with Jesus forever dwell.
A FRIEND.
