(Continue from First Page.) lasting hills round about Jerusalei Eternity was in every doctrir every exhortation, every hope ai every point of faith he inspired. I referred at some length to the M< siahship of Christ. The Bishop sa the tendency of the times is temporalize, to mundane Christ to flatter Him instead of worshi ping Him-to patronize Him rath than .obey Him." He deprecated tl tendency 'to change the gospel suit the conditions. The Bishop sa: long centuries lie out before u civilization is yet crude, but /: spite of the changes that will con God's word will stand. "Tea( them whatsoever I have cominan ed you." The scientists may fir out more about water,, more aboi the wind, more about the electric forces and other forces of natur but there is no more to learn aboi God. He likened the "latter da fermentated ecclesiastic" who got about trying to discover a new faitl to a mosquity that disturbs the tire farmer at night. He said the people have a diffei ent way of coming to Harmony t< day from what his father had 4 years ago,but while they go now i automobiles they yet have the sam hope, the same faith and the earn plan of salvation. Our fathei preached eternal punishment for th sinner and eternal life for the saint Bishop Eilgo spoke at som length of the efforts to bring aboa peace in Europe, but said they wer all selfish, being inspired by deair to realize a better price for cot toi Or for bonds and stocks on Wal Street. People are interested ii large corn yields, but the way t< judge Clemson college is not b: larger corn yields that are beinf made but by the way the Glen soi boys will appear at the Judgmen Bar. Wofford college should not bi judged by its sociological' ad van tag es but after Gabriel blows his trum pet see what the harvest will be. H< said that sometime one asks if th( church opposes dancing or card playing, as if the church coule make laws. The business of the church is -to proclaim already-en acted laws. The preacher is not a legislator but an embassador with a commission, In speaking of service, Bishop Eilgo said: "The man who serves the world the best is the man who hungers for heaven most." Occasionally Bishop Eilgo would grow less serious and with some de siree of irony and ridicule refer tb some of the latter-day fallacies and methods 'in dealing with religious matters, occasionally giving the ministry a thrust by way of pleas antry. In concluding, the Bishop refer red to the pleasure that it gave him to attend the church that was serv ed by his father 40 years and more ago. He said Harmony was the churoh in which he first kneeled at the "mourners' bench" as an eight year-old boy, and it was in this county, at Moore's Chapel, that his father was licensed to preaoh. Moore's Chapel was later sold to the colored people and is now used by them, being located some dis tance to the rear of "Cedar Grove," Mrs. Elizabeth Nicholson's home. Church Formally Presented. At the conclusion of the dedica tory sermon, the officers of the church, Messrs. G. M. Smith, B. R. ?Smitb, Bettis Bouknight, Joe Bouknight, Walter Smith, L. G. Watson, S. B. Marsh, J. S. Smith and E. N. Smith, came forward and formally presented the new build ing to the conference to be dedicated to the service of God, the solemn words being uttered by Mr. G. M. Smith. The building was received by Presiding Elder Kilgo and the dedicatory prayer was offered by Bishop Kilgo. With this beautiful and impressive scene the exercises were concluded. Dinner Announced. Just before adjournment, Mr. Ervin Smith arose and extended a very cordial invitation to all visitors to partake of the dinner that had been provided. Soon after adjournment the large throng gath ered about the long table under the oaks and partook of the very gener ous hospitality of the good people of Harmony. One rarely ever sees such a feast as that served at Har mony Sunday. In addition to the basket dinner which wau beautifully served in practically unlimited quan tity, barbecued meats and hash were also provided. Nowhere else in the wide, wide world will one find hos pitality more lavishly bestowed than by the people of the Harmony com munity. In planning for Sunday, it was the original desire and purpose of the committee to have an afternoon service, but failing to secure a speaker for the afternoon the con gregation did not re-assemble after dinner. Two hours or more were very pleasantly spent in social inter course in the grove. We were impressed with the thoughtfulness of the committee on arrangements. A rest room was pro meting mm m wm imps Iwish to assure my friends and patrons that the new enterprise I have launched in Greenwood is not to change the policy or plans of THE CORNER STORE.

Notwith standing the close proximity sf the well to the church, the committee had several barrels of water placed near the table where all CQuld slake their thirst. Nothing waa left undone that would con tribute in any manner to the com fort and pleasure of those who as sembled for the dedicatory service. Such thoughtfulness is characteris tic of the Harmony people. They are kind, generous and thoughtful as individuals and as a community. Bishop Kilgo at Edgefield.

His sermon was well re ceived and at the conclusion of the service a large number of persons went up to greet the Bishop. Notice of Election of Public Cotton Weighers.
