TWU VVVVVVVVWVVVVVV J v \ t V LOWNDESVILLE V 'V No VSVVVVVVVVSVV %N a V V Lowndesville, April 16.?The new I Methodist church was dedicated by Y Bishop Darlington on last Sabbath I in the presence of at least 450, who filled the pevfrs, Sabbath school room t and aisles to the fullest capacity. I The Bishop chose as a text, Psalms; \ p 84:2. "The Lord loveth the gates of j a Zion more than all the dwellings of j Jacob." With this Scripture as a' f basis he proved to his listeners in j r language, pure, simple and convinc-jJ ing, that the 20th Century church of J Christ is the greatest instituution in. I the world. Bishop Darlington, by' I his pleasing, informal manner won 5 his congregation at the start and I held them under the spell of his elo- j "V quent sermon until the close of the I services. He has a fine pulpit ap- a pearance and is a magnetic speaker,' B whose tender, sympathetic nature 1< shone throughout his entire dis-J A course. It was the privilege of a j E lifetime to listen to the eloquence A and inspiration of this gifted man,i^ who is the youngest bishop that has| ever presided over the diocese of > \ the two Carolinas. The dedicatory A service was short but impressive, A * A - S t 11 T* '1 ^ _ J 3 1 ' I conducted Dy ine msnop, assiB^eu vy * Presiding Elder Leonard, Revs. J. F. V Anderson and W. S. Martin.

K Mr. Irvin Moore, the eldest son ^ of Mr. and Mrs. G. A. Moore, died.w at the home of his parents last Ttresday, in the 26th year of his age, after a long and weary illness of over; two years.
