ACHMAN CHAPBL LETTBR. v. B. C. Cronk at St. Paul's-A d Collection Taken -As to the Legislature. 'ghs, December io.-I have ot one of those good pencils 01 'The 'Herald and News office t writes so well that there is lung when I will stop writing. ere is so much moving going roughout this section that it caused an overproduction of }- at our home. No less than put up their abode with us last It has been said by some r blessed old ancestors that a isitor means good lu k. Old W. says that she is always kful of good luck, but she fears this is a little too much of the uck all at once to turn out well. Mr. Editor, if Mrs. A. needs hing along this line let us know. still keep coming. But there the old hen has just crowed, i\h has always been counted bad iWand I do not know which kind of:14ck to look for. Mr. T. E. McCullough and sister, 4Iss Mattie McCullough, of the .iollolion section, spent last Friday $ight with the family of Mr. J. P. kinard. I regret that my friend Eak took sick and had to return home so soon. Prof. J. J. Hipp spent last Satur day night with Mr. J. K. Epps and family. Mr. Hipp has an interest ing singing class at Bachman Chapel. He is a master of his profession. Mr. Editor, I have some local ,legislation I want you to look after. 41 think if I can keep the bright side tip I ai goiag to look after this ap proaching legislature. It has been a lie and cry for gracious knows how long after the adjournment of each legislature, "Nothing (one again, as usual." Nearly every man has some kind of a petticoat law he wants enacted for his own special benefit. One of my friends who has had a sick wife to contend with almost the entire year tells me that he wants the legislature to en act a law, not in behalf of woman suffrage, but in behalf of man "'suffer-age," giving a man the privilege of having two wives, so that when one gets sick lie 1will have one left to attend to the do mestic affairs as well as to wait on hii. But how would it do to send that fellow to Utah? I have other similar laws which I will mention later. Mr. Editor, I will delegate Capt. Banks and yourself to look after this matter. * Through the kind invitation of Mr. L. I. Epting, I went down to St. Paul's last Sunday to hear the sermon and lecture of the Rev, and Mrs. E. C. Cronk, who are travel ing in behalf of the Atlanta mission. .1 was very much disappointed when Sfound that Mrs. Cronk was uin eble to be present. This was Rev. r.r. Cronk's first appointment in *e South Carolina Synod. I think it the Lutheran workers of the >rgia Synod have put the right . to work at the right place, and 'is no further question now hat the Lutherans are going to a church in A tlanta in which ay all take a just pride. .Mr. Cronk preached quite teresting sermon. The sub as taken from a text which is riate to any occasion: "'Ye light of the world ;a city that on a hill cannot be hid.'' :r 4; and also the 1 6th verse: )ur light so shine before tthey imay see' your good nd glorify your l1'athecr ini heaven."' Th is subject every individual as; well urch. But the speaker erc it was a fatal wrong :n to go on in their sins :ebuke them for the sake Christians shall let their :by reproving imen of the most eminent Christians smil ing on sinful cranks! We shall also let our light shine by our ex amples. Not only our children, but the whole future generation are patterning after our examples. To illustrate this he told the story of a fNther and son who went into a saloon. The son was asked what he would have, and he replied, "I'll take whatever pa takes." And so the daughters will take whatever their mothers take. After all we are laying the foundation on which the future generation will build. t Let our acts be ever so sinful they 3 are our light, which is always a guide to others. After the sermon Rev. Mr. Cronk made a short but explicit talk upon t the work i i which h, is engaged, t putting it in three divisions: First, what he had; second, what lie had not; third, what he must have. The membership of the church numbers 6o, and the enrolment in a very short time will reach 75, with a Lutheran constituency of 1,000. But those )eople will not take the proper interest in church work until the church building is erected. A collection was taken and the sum of $18.00 in cash with a few dollars subscription was raised. Old St. Paul's congregation will always be found doing her full duty. Rev. Mr. Cronk had two other appointments to meet on Sunday, one at St. Luke'sF in the evening and one at Grace church at night. As I returned home I stopped and enjoye'd the hospitality of my old friend, Mr. L. I Epting, and family for a few hours. Mrs. Epting is one among ouri noblest good wo men. She never tires, in making her guests feel welcome. Mr. Ed itor, you missed a treat by not turn ing up, and you caused .us to do more than justice to our digester in trying to masticate your part of turkey. The woman's missionary society of St. Paul's will give an entertain ment, by the name of a stocking party, at the residence of Mr. L. I. Epting, on Wednesday night, the 3th inst. The entertainment is for the purpose of raising money for the benefit of the parsonage which has undergone considerable ii provements. T. J. V.
