Report of Proceedings of Recent Ses sion in Anderson County. (A. J. S. T., in Baptist Courier.) Beaverdam Association ls compos ed of churches in Oconee county, and a few in the northwestern part of An derson county. It fukes in nearly all of the churches In . zonee. The asso ciation met Tuesday, September 26, with Mount Tabor church, situated about six miles southwest of Pendle ton. The meeting was called to or der by the moderator, Rev. J. H. Stone. The introductory sermon was preached by Rev: C. S. Blackburn, pastor of tbe Seneca church, from the text, "Imitators of the ohurches of God which are in Christ Jesus," I Thessalonians 2:14. He spoke of some of the elements that constitute the New Testament church and which should be found in the churches in all ages. A few mentioned were: The Holy Spirit recognized as the Su preme administrator of the affairs of the church on earth; the gifts of the Spirit are manifested; each member has some particular gift assured him if he will receive it. to he used in the upbuilding of the church and the glory of God; only were these gifts are in use is the work of the church complete; the spread of the master's Kingdom the pre-eminent business of the church; the hope and expecta tion of the members of the New Tes tament church was that the Lord would soon appear in glory. Bro. Blackburn is a thoughtful and forci ble preacher and his sermon was very much enjoyed. The election of officers resulted In the selection of Rev. J. H. Stone, moderator, J. I., niarle, clerk, and James Seaborn, treasurer. The visit ing brethren were cordially received. . Bro. H. B. Fant, of Anderson, is pastor of Mount Tabor, and lu a very appropriate way cordially welcomed the visitors and delegates to the as sociation. Bro. Fant has been pastor for several years. The church ls in a prosperous conditlor and the house of worship has been greatly improved .d presents a neat appearance, and ?well located. We had the pleasure being with Bro. Fant In the beau tiful home of his son, Eugene Fant, who lives a few miles from Tabor. Most of the afternoon of the first day was taken up in hearing reports from the churches. When the name of the church was called a delegate would arise and tell of the spiritual condition of the church. This was an Interesting feature of the meeting. The reports generally were brief, to the point, and showed progress In tho work, and altogether the conditions are encouraging and the prospects good. The report on the orphanage was read by Bro. T. M. Elrod, and discussed by him, J. R. Mooro, W. T. Derleux, C. R. D. Burns, W. H. Cole. B. Holder, and Bpo. Bruce. It was a good discussion, followed by a cash collection of over seventeen dollars. The devotional services wore con ducted by Bro. W. W. Loathers, of tho Saluda Association, but who has n church In the Beaverdam. Tho report on the aged ministers was read by Bro. S. A. McDaniel and discussed by him and several others. Bro. B. Hol der, of Pickens, a preacher for about fifty years, and now over eighty-three years of age, spoke and read a few verses of poetry that he had culled from some paper, and the collection followed, a free-will offering for the old preachers. The report on religious literature was read by Bro. A. P. Marott, one of the pastors, and was discussed by him Jfnnd othere. The report urges the T people to take and read the Baptist Courier, the Foreign Mission Journal, Our Home Field, and Orphanage Notes. State missions had the best hour 5 R?SfiBWf ii save a consider your farm wor! Take o actual analysis our brands, ext Come ai than give you * on Wednesday. The report was read by Bro. C. R. D. Burns, the popular I Clerk of the Court of Oconee county, who followed the report by an excel lent address. Bro. Derlen spoke, and had a great time. The Beaver dam responded liberally, and State missions ls on high ground in that association. In the afternoon the reports on I home missions and foreign missions were considered. Bro. J. p. Chap man, of Anderson, was present and I made a fine speech for home missions, and Bro. C. S. Blackburn made an j unusually effective speech for foreign [missions. Other matters were to be consider ed, but in order to reach the train for home the writer could not stay longer. The two full days spent with the Beaverdam brethren were very much enjoyed. The brethren of Mt. Tabor and the people of the commu nty bountifully entertained the asso ciation: Many of the delegates, and the visitors who attended, were met at the depot at Pendleton and convey ed to and from tho association. A long line of vehicles met the trains Tuesday morning, and every thing pos sible was done for the convenience and comfort of the visitors and dele gates. Bro. H. B. Fant, the pastor, I was present at the depot with his peo ple to wait on and care-for us. Al together lt was a good meeting, help ful and enjoyable, and very largely I attended.
