HISTORY OF THE ABBE YILLE BAPTIST CHURCH Continued from Page Three.) sons were baptized. During Doctor Swoope's pastorate several thousand dollars of the outstanding debt on the church was paid, and the social Ka!l in the church basement was 'Ximpleted, Activity in all the de partments of the church's work marked those two years. Dr. Bristow Returns fn December, 1918, the writer be gan his second pastorate. In 1919 the church had part in the Southwidej nvovetaient for increased missionary | work known as the "75 Million Cam-j paign." Asked to subscribe <$27,500 to that cause .on November 30, 1919, the church subscribed $46,761. That was a memorable day, of which some other historian may write half a century, hence, when it may be view ed with a proper perspective. Thus I have given you a sketch of flfjty years of the Abbeville Baptist fllinrch. There are many things I would like to say, which have been left, unwritten. But perhaps a few other sentences should be added. The church has sent out four preachers; T. M. Galphin, B. M. Cheatham D. W. .Bopler and Jos. L. Piant. Doctor Galphin is now pastoi* at St. Matthews, S. C. Brother Cheat ham is teaching school at Coronaci, S.

In striking contrast to the stormy nights of the past two weeks a bright moon cast its gleaming rays over the snow tonight the ther mometer registered but a few de grees below zero and hardened vet-J erans of the north country predict ed the party would make better) time. While some men here express the belief that the Indian guides of the1 balloonists' party will follow the J trail down the Missanabi the same pursued by the Indian runners that first brought news to the world of the arimen's safety others especial ly those who have come in for trad ing in the last few dayr, said the Abitibi river trail which leads into this town was in better shape for travel. j With the clearing of the skies to- j night a number of relief parties ( ? "* VvrT A*IO A1? TVIArA tduu atti/iuyaiucu Kfjf viiv vi I newspaper men put out on the trail that leads northward, hoping to meet the party in a day or so. The relief parties carried extra dog teams and fcesh food and were led by experienced "mushers" that their progress might be rapid. Due 1 to inexperienced in the north of the three naval officers, their prog-| ress in the trip seemingly short in point of miles but always fraught1 with danger and hardships naturally, is slow. The officers, it is pointed out, probably are inexperienced in the use of snow shoes and are ill equip-! ped for such a journey. At best,' it is believed the aeronauts could I not make more than 20 miles a day| and probably have made less than ten on some days especially when the snow fall was heavy.

Washington, Jan. 6.?Having ob tained from the labor department an order for temporary admission to the United States of the seven Rus sian children he has tentatively adopted, Rear Admiral Newton A. McCully, former American high commissioner at Sebastopol, left to night for New York to get the chil dren now at Ellis Island and bring them to his Washington home. The admiral said he would deposit im mediately the $5,000 bond required in the case of each of the children as assurance that they will not become public charges and will receive a proper education. Admiral McCully plans to keep the children at his home until their right in the United States has been fully established. Afterward he will take them to his boyhood home in Anderson, S. C., to introduce j them to his mother who will assume | temporary charge of the children | while the officer is refurnishing and jremodeling his Washington home for their permanent residence. Asked if it was his intention j formally to adopt the children, Ad miral McCully said that such was his intention if there were no legal bar. He had attended, he said, to all legal matters in Russia oonnected I with being given custody of the chil dren. In two cases it was neces [ sary to obtain the consent of one parent, the officer said, but no dif ficulty was encountered because of the terrible1 conditions in the region in which the children were living and desire of the parents to obtain for their children a new change in life in the United States. "These children are but isolated nnecz nmnnc hundreds and thousands of similar ones." said Admiral Mc Cully. "I did not carefully select the seven, but when I came away I de cided that I should do something and I took the first I came to, al though in several cases I had met the children previously and had be come attached to them. There were three others I wanted to bring, but one was tubercular, and, I knew would not be admitted to this coun try. In another case the mother gave her consent to my adopting the child and at the last moment with drew it and in the third case the mother consented, saying she did not care what became of the child, but the father refused to part with it." Washington, Jan. 6?Rear Admiral Newton A. McCully, who is a South Carolinian, born and reared at An /1o?-erkr> romainpH in Washinrton to day just long enough to secure au thority for the entrance into the United States of the seven Russian children whom he has adopted and will educate. In conversation with the represen tative of The State, the admiral de clined to make an explanation of why he adopted the Russians after their rescue fronj the Bolshevists, j following the defeat of General Wrangel. It is learned, however, that they are descendants of aristocratic Rus sians whose fortunes were depleted as result of the national debadCe. ; The admiral is not decided as to where he will educate them, al though he gives considerable atten tion to his old home in South Caro lina.
