Editor Camden Chronicle: ? Tho Kershaw Baptist Union met on the 30th and 31st of Muy with tho Mizpah Baptist Church and carried out the program as printed in your valuable paper with the exception of the one referring to benevolence which we did not havo time to consider owing to enthusi asm aroused by the other subjects discussed. There was especial em phaeis lain on the great importance of awakening a groatcr missionary zeal anjong the laymen of our as sociation and to the subject of in doctrinating our people in the great fundamental truths of Ihe Bible, especially in tlioso that are dis tinctive to our denomination. We belike the Sunday School cause was advanced by timely talks in the mass meeting held on Sunday morning in the interest ol this work and the powerful denun ciation of the parents for their neg lsot to bring up their, children in tho fear and admonition of the Lord by their lives and conversa tion by Bro. Peterson can not help having a telling effect on those who hoard his drastic sermon. Tho Union was lavishly enler tainod by the good poople of Mi* pah and we' will not soon forget our pleasant stay in their midst. A few Churches in Leo county and on the border of Kershaw ask ed to be released from the Kersha* Union lo form a new Union to be known as the Lee Connty Unior which request was granted. The next meeting will be lield with the Pine Greek Baptjsl Church of Camden Satordky befon the 6th Sunday In August. O* Moss ley, Clsrk, pro ton* SitSSStBtKSOSS3SSSi^S?^B^ ' W e Pay You to Suve.
