Dear Advertiser: I had my usual weekly treat to-day when I \yent to the First Baptist Church and heard Dr. Austen Ken nedy De Blois, the pastor preach on the? subject of "Christian Fellow ship." This was a Sunday at which the Lord's supper was to take place, He invited people of whatever name or denomination to remain and com mune. He said that the church of Christ was a church of inclusion, not of exclusion. The churches of to-day are nearer together than they have been since the time of St. Paul, but we are not yet so near together as we should be, as denominations. An other of his statements was, that we must have faith interpreted, not in terms of intellect, but in terms of love. Whenever Dr. De Blois leaves the city for a trip he tells the congrega tion all of his delightful experiences when he returns, so I feel at liberty to write you some of the wonderful things I see and hear. After the church service Ruth Tompkins, her room-mate and I went out to West Newton to spend the day with Mrs. Marshall, Ruth's cousin. We found a most delightful, home like reception. After dinner we went to see some of the sights of the sur rounding New England country. The wide lawns arid scattered buildings seemed like Edgefield. There were in numerable little picturesque houses like the prints in magazines that live Dnly on paper, never on grounds, in the South. There were hundreds of people skating on the frozen Charles River. They were swinging around curves md losing their balance and catching it again, and whizzing along over the glassy surface with incredible ease. We visited a very interesting bridge, called the Echo Bridge, aptly named, for standing by one of the massive arches and calling across to the other side, the most uncanny and fantastic echoes came back like a per son shouting from the top of the precipice over the river. From the top of the high bridge the view was beau tiful. An old silk mill about one hun dred years old was situated on the edge of the river. Silk is now made there from wood instead of silk. A Baptist Theological seminary was another one of the sights of par ticular interest to me. This was in Newton Center. Newton seems to be attached to every town's name in that part of New England. We came through the country from West Newton to Boston late in the afternoon. From' Prospect Hill we had an excellent bird's eye view of the city of Boston. We were so far above and away from the city that the great mass of buildings looked like a huge mosaic of dim yellow and red and gray. The Harvard Studium and the Cambridge Bridge, lit with rows of lights, stood out in the pic ture. We came down from the heights into the great seething street of cars and hurrying people, there to stay until some other Sunday should beck on us away from the maddening crowds of people of which we are but an inconceivably small part. Florence Minis. Rev. Frank Weaver Gives Warring and a Tribute to Mr. Nicholson. Mr. Editer. Please let me have space in your valuable paper to say a few words a bout the condition of this country. We are going through ? great calam ity, wars on the one hand and pesti lence on the other. Believe me , this is the finger of God, writing on the wall. Let us all draw near unto Him and hear what He is saying to the people of long, long time ago. When the serpent was biting the people in the wilderness, there was a remedy, "Look and live." The same stands good to-day. Jesus said unto Nicodemus, "As Moses lifted up the serpent in the wilderness, even so must the Son of Man be lifted up." Let us all lift Him up. If each man will lift Him up in his family, the world will be saved. Jesus said "If he be lifted up he will draw all men un to Himself." Remember Noah preach ed twenty years and saved only his family. Let every man try the same thing, save his family, and the world will be saved. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God." "Look and live." Now, I want to say to the boys as they return from the battle fields and from camps. Have respect for everybody you meet at home and a broad and stay on the farm. If a man wants friends, he must show himself friendly. Mr. Editor, please give me space to speak of one of the greatest men who ever lived in Edgefield. The rea son why I say this, I have lived here and around here for nearly fifty years and more. I have noticed men as they walked along the line of life to see if the town was much better by their presence or worse, and this man has been a great and shining light in this town. The man that I have refer ence to is the Honorable B. E. Nich olson. He was a man who was kind to everybody, regardless of color. He mastered his profession so well that he drew men to him by scores. You could rely on what he said. If the world was full of such men as he, race prejudice would be wiped out and peace would reign throughout this country. "Blessed are the peace makers, for they shall be called the children of God." He was a man that served with the people and for the people. Edgefield county has lost one of its brightest stars, not only Edgefield, but South Carolina. May the good Lord bless his lone ly family along a life's journey. As we look over his past life, we can say as did one of old, "Well done thou good and faithful servant." Sleep on and take thy rest. "Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright, for the end of that man is peace." Rev. F. A. Weaver. $200 eward For the recovery of Mr. Law rence Schweers. 27 years old; 5 feet IO inches tall; weighing 120 pounds; wearing dark blue coat and vest, dark gray trousers, tan shoes and dark blue hat; wandered away on Wednesday, January 22nd, suffering from a nervous dis order.
