On Saturday, June 26, I start
ed to Sum tor from Augusta, Ga.,
to conduct a week's revival at
Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Rev.
D. J. Johnson, is pastor of this
large churc h. Dea.R. W. West
berry, who is a member of my
high Council rendered great as
sistance to the pastor by helping
to advertise the meeting at great
expense also he put bath of his
cars at our disposal. I spent all
the week in the nice parsonage
of the past >r. Including my In
troductory sermon on my first;
visiti prerched seven sermons'
and the remit of my work was;
the addition of 60 persons to the'
church. One thing that appear-j
ed strange to a number of people
was the weather condition. For
four evenings it rained at 6
o'clock and it would clear so the
people could get to church.
Sometime i ; is hard to get a full
house i n the towns because
so many different things are go

increased. The aud
beral in its contribu
jon Friday night over
raised.
This chtjrch is said to have a
membership of at least 1,000 and
the 60 that) gave me their hand
greatly increased the number,
There are only five other city
churches ir the State that carry
as large a congregation as this
one and on y two carrying larger]
ones. A i?eat many members
of the ott er churches attended
the meeting regularly and some,
were eon verted that joined other ]
churches. Several persons sent]
valuable *i:fts to me. Rev. John
is a friendly minister: andJsj

He is in line with all the work of j
the State Convention. He in
tends to do all he can for the1
$50,000 drive for Merris College.
There w4s a great deal of ex
citement all over the U. S. and
some in Sum ter about the comet
tail but a ?umber of people had
heard whajt I had said in The
Indicator that there was absolute
ly no use of any fear and they be
lieved whajt I said about it and
everybody j can see now. You
could not see the comet nor its
tail without a glass.
Our meeting had the good will
of the white citizens and they
gave large space in Daily Item to
tell of the iwonderful work that
was being jwrought by the Holy
Spirit in Sujmter. Many of them
had heard j me three years ago
when the World's War was rag
ing and they remembered clearly
that I told f he exact time that it
would end j a long time before it
really did e nd.
On my way home on the Coast
Line a freight train wrecked in
front of us therefore my train
had to step half an hour-near

out to loo z around and two of
the Deacons of Mt. Moriah Bap
tist Churcl came and asked me
to run a re rival for them because
they thought I could do them a
great deal of good. I told them

Boston Frederick breathed his
last on Saturday 2nd. inst. while
returning from a Sisters' Auxil
iary meeting held at Ned Branch
Baptist Church of which he was
a member and sexton for years.
Bro. Frederick was stricken at
6 p. m. and died in a few min
utes. He had previous present
ments of his death. His funeral
was largely attended. The body
was embalmed and kept from
Saturday 2nd. until Wednesday
6th inst. Rev: G. W. Cherry,
his pastor officiated and preached
the funeral with great zeal.
The Sisters' Auxilirry Union of
the Storm Branch Association
held its annual meeting with the
Ned Branch Baptist Church, Sat
urday 2nd. inst, Rev. G. W.
Cherry, pastor. The meeting
was full of inspiration seemingly
to all who attended. The sisters
seemed deeply concerned and
interested in the raising of funds
for the education of the young
people Well done Sisters may
other Associational Fields follow
your gooci example. Rev. G. W.
Cherry, that untiring and zealous
worker for his people on his way
through Dunbartonto the sister's
meeting was liberally donated by
the whites of this town, who as
serts that the esteem they hold
for this man of God prompted
them to give liberally. Rev.
Cherry stands high in the esti
mation of both white and black.
The sisters raised over $161 for
educational purposes. Let me
tell you Rev. Mabry with his
staff of united ministers is doing
a great work for our race. The
sisters of the Four Mile Field
have also organized a Sisters'
Auxiliary Union for t* d9^^^^
the ministers will fall in line also
the Storm Branch Field and vic
tory is sure.
The leaders of the Four Mile
Educational Institute celebrated
the 4th of July at the Four Mile
Academy near Donora. The at
[tendance was small but inthusi
astic. Rev, W. M. Phiniziethe
moderator is striving hard to
bring things t o pass. Tie
Abyssinian priest visited oar
soction the last week in June and
was the guest of Mr. and Mrs.
j Jake Peoples and Mr. and Mrs.
|W. J. McCutchen. We hope he
iis real.
Crops are looking fine just a
bout this time. Farmers in our
had almost lost hope of a corn
crop. Rain fell in big showers
day after day and corn in most
parts is doing well. This shows
chat man's extremity is God's
opportunity.
1 Rev, Wm. Moody, pastor of St.
Paul is running a successful re
vival meeting at his church and
added 18 souls. We are truely
sorry to say that the nefarious
habit of nighl riding is being
practiced in our vicinity by both
! white and black. We hope that
this bad practice will soon find
its end in more legal and serieus
reflections. Oh what, a som
brous future one see when in al
most every nook and crook, that
is, in some parts, a blind tiger ii
operated, I mean distilling liquor
or trying to do so. Many of them
so call church members. Its a
shame as well as its illegal and
degrading. Oh, Christian people

NOTES FROM
SECOND CALVARY.
As usual Dr. Moore preached a
fine sermon both morning and
night last Sunday.
Prof. W. D. Prince of Morris
College worshipped with us Sun
day all day. He represented
Morris Coliege and its work at
the morning service. A liberal
after collection was given him
for the school. In the evening,
Prof. Prince addressed the B. Y.
P. U. at which time he surpassed
his morning* talk.
Dr. Moore will leave for Ashe
ville on his vacation next week.
Aside from many personal do
nations by members in apprecia
tion for his first year's service to
the church, the officers autho
rized the treasurer to give him a
check for $75.00 for expense
money while on his vacation with
the understanding that if that a
mountdid not meet his require
ments, he must notify the officers
at the instance of which more
money will be forth coming.
This mildly bespeaks the high
terms in which pastor Moore is
held by his members.
The church is in fine condition
from every angle and the mem
bers and friends are singing the
praises of pastor Moore for rais
ing more money in one year than
any pastor that preceeded him in
the same length of time.
A correction : A typegraphical
error appeared in our Anniver
sary mention last week which
made the amount of money rais
ed during the week $25.50. The
amount raised was $205.50 and
others who were hot able to make
their contributions are paying up.
