Meetings at Horns Creek and Republican. Sunday was a beautiful day for the visit of the Baptist ministers who came into the association in the in terests of the 75 Million Campaign. Perhaps rews will come in from all the churches where the meetings were held, but the writer had the privilege of attending the churches at Horn's Creek and Republican. , .Colonel S. B. Mays and Mr. Harris came into Edgefield to meet Dr. C. E. Burts at the station Sunday morn ing and the trip was made first to Horn's Creek; Here a very represen tative congregation of men and wo men gathered, Rev. P. B. Lanham presiding and encouraging the enter prise. Dr. C. E. Burts made a splendid address on the fundamentals which he said were more important than the 75Million, and were back of it and necessary to its accomplishment. He stressed the importance of sys tematic giving in a detailed and forceful way, acording to the New Testament plan, and said that this was the only way that our people could now meet their obligations. He gave concrete examples of how small amounts given regularly would be come great' sums in the aggregate, one example being the originator of the Esquimo Pie, who almost in a night had become a millionaire, and these pies cost but ten cents. The matter of the church budget was discussed and the church adopt ed its use. The ladies of Horn's Creek had prepared a ranch which was served on the tables and greatly enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to be j>artakers. From Horn's Creek we were the guests of Rev. P. B. Lanham and his son Willie Lanham, stopping at Mr. Lanham's home where we were join ed by Mrs. P. B. Lanham and Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lanham in their car. Republican is one of the most prom ising churches in the association in the number of intelligent, high toned men and,womenof the neighborhood and the number of young people and children. Dr. Burts has a fine mem memory, as was exemplified by his remark as he arose to speak at Re publican, that he saw the church had recently been remodelled and im proved for which he expressed appre ciation saying also that the church was beautiful for situation. In vis iting so many hundreds of churches similar in construction and situation it is marvellous that he could remem ber such details. I Mr. Lanham also presided here, and Mr. John Atkinson was called on to lead hi prayer. . Dr. Burts had a good audience from the standpoint of numbers, and a very appreciative one. His address was a differene one from that of the morning. He was very sympathetic in what he said, on account of the finan cial conditions, but said he found Edgefield county much better off than he had expected. The success of his .remarks was proven by the enthusi asitic adoption of the budget or en velope system. ; Miss Lucile Miller acted as organ ist and the choir was filled with ?right young people who sang' well. Mr. Willie Lanham transported the .party back to Edgefield after the meeting, and he and Dr. Burts dis cussed farming, chicken raising and their European tour, especially the Mediterranean Sea and the countries on its shores. Dr. Burts returned to Columbia Sunday night. The roads from Republican were very good all the way to Edgefield, and the fine grain was remarked on by Dr. Burts as we passed along. Mrs. J. L. MIMS.
