Rev MacDowell Receives Cordial Welcome Here Sunday Night A very pretty and impressive service of welcome was that which took place at the Baptist church here on Sunday night. The service was interdenominational and was participated in by ministers and laymen from the several Kingstree churches. Seated on the rostrum with Rev Mor>r)ntva1] tho near naatrtr uierp Rov 4uuv*/wnvii,vuv uv n pwuwv* , v. v G T Harmon,of the Methodist church, Rev Mr Bailey of Edgefield, Presbyterian, Rev Walter Mitchell, D D,of Charleston, Episcopal. Mr Harmon presided, and opened the service with prayer after a musical selection by the choir. The lesson was read by Mr Bailey. Mr McDowell took his text from Joshua 3?13: "And it shall come to pass a3 soon as the soles of the feet of the priests that bear the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth shall rest in the waters of the Jordan," etc. The discourse was ably delivered, and bore a message of importance to every listener, emphasizing as it did the importance of faith in God and obedience to His word. At the conclusion of the service, words of welcome were extended to lf^ II T^V 11 1 lf? T ITT /"1?11 I _ ? Mr raacuoweu Dy mr Li w uinana or the Presbyterian church and Mr M A Shuler of the Methodist church. In behalf of the Episcopal church Dr Mitchell made a brief address of welcome, as did also Mr Bailey and Mr Harmon, and it must indeed have been an occasion of the most genuine pleasure and refreshment to all those not imbued with a spirit of narrowness, or hide-bound sectarianism, to hear the remarks of these able leaders of the local churches. While the usual offering was being taken up, Mis MacDowell sang "Saved," the choir assisting in the chorus. Mrs MacDowell has a very sweet voice, and her rendition Sunday night is evidence of her musical ability. Williamsburg Teachers' Meeting.
