Monday Judge Buchanan culled
the attention of tho grand jury to
the fact that the appearance of tho

to tho county, whereupen tho
grand jury made a thorough inspection
of tho building yesterday
and in its report yesterday afternoon,
made the following timely
recommendation: " ?Ve rccoin
mend that the county Supervisor

to safety of the building and ascertain
the approximate cost of
putting the building, both inside
and out in first class condition and
report to this body at tho next
term of tho court/'
Further, the grand jury condemned
the overhead bridge at
Pleasant Hill and asks tho Railroad
authorities to see after its condition
at once.
It also had something to say
about working the public roads,
and made several presentments of
parties for carrying concealed
weapons, shooting on public highways
etc. The report was. mudo
too late for its publication in full

In the service assigned to nie, 1

This representative gathering,
this earnest anil sympathetic assemblage
is your trno and best
weieo ne. It attests the profound
| pleasure and satisfaction which all
of ns feel that the representatives
of nearly all of the Societies in
the Rock Hill District engaged in
the work of F. M. are guest within
our homes. To them are ex
tended the hospitality of our
homes and tlio devotion of our
hearts in acknowledgement and
encouragement of their faithfulness
and unselfishness in a great
niovemenr for the uplifting and
christianizing ot the women and
childron in heathen lands.
it is our privilege us well as a
great pleasure of entertaining the
Rock Hill Dist. meetiog tor the
first time, the Dist. Conf. W. M.
S. never having been held here
before.
May this meeting rekindle the I
spirit of missionary ardor mi cnthuiasin
among us, to go ''teach
O ' O
till nations."
Of course wo all believe in F.
M. If you do not believe in F.
M., you cannot believe in christ.
I'lie Jew did n?l believe that an)
but the Jew could be saved and
that is why God took away their
candlo and left them in darkness
and they have been in darkness
over since. Christ bids us now
take the light of His Gospel into
the darkness of the heathen lands,
that thoy may see and believe,
and be saved.
We do not know what will be
the doom of tho heathens in the
next world who has never- hoard
of Christ.
For my own part 1 am not concerned
to know, but 1 am concerned
to know what will become of
me if 1 say with callous selfishness
am I my brothers keeper."
Let us ask ourselves if we are
discharging our duty to the heathen
world that is culling to us
for light and help { Tho life worth
living is tho life of tho woman
who works, of tho woman who
does, of the woman who strives,
the woman who at tho end can
look buck and say, 1 know that
1 have halted, 1 know that I have
stumbled, I know 1 luivo left un1
done many things I should have
' done and done mnuv things 1
' should have left undone, but !
