Shiloh Baptist Church, in Anderson county, is situated near the Savan nah river, some twelve miles south west of the city of Anderson, in a prosperous and progressive farming community. The Shiloh community ls thickly settled with the very best people, and is traversed by a well graded and worked country road, to ride over which is a pleasure. Your scribe left Walhalla on the early morning train at 7 o'clock, ran down to Anderson, and thence to Shiloh in an automobile, arriving at the church before 10 o'clock, where he was entertained for a while in the beautiful shady grove and shook hands vith the people as they came in. We iound at the church that the good pejple were glad to g-eet us, and they openel both the!, doors and hearts to us and treated us in grand ?tyle. With buggies, carriages and automobiles these good people met us, ready to convey us to and from their homes, where they and their wives fed us with many good tilings. Your scribe had been as signed to the home of Amos McCur ry, and it must have been the best ono down there. Sirs. McCurry was :i Migs Barris, a dw?ater of Grand mother Burris, the Btep-mother of our Otro beloved Mn?. H. M. Barton, ot Fair Play. Mr. MoCuvvy is a nephew Of Pr. f. ?J. McOufry, formerly ;C Fail X'lay, dad Cw. Albury McCurry, ot Hartwell, Ga. We were delighted to be with these old acquaintances and they showed that they remem bered your correspondent by their most royal treatment. With them was also our townsmen, C. F. Het rick, R. W. Crabbs and W. W. Bur ley. At the church were many familiar faces of Oconeo's best Baptist church workers, ready to organize the asso ciation and get to work, reviewing the last year's work and devising ways and moans to carry forward the church work for the next year. An organization was soon perfected by tho election of Rev. L. <M. Lyda, of Walhalla, as moderator; J. Eust ice Hopkins, of Seneca, clerk, and Jas. G. Breazeale. of Westminster, treas urer. The constitution of the body had been so changed thc year before at Westminster that the organization was soon easily effected and choice men selected. The association went immediately to work, and the busi ness of the session was soon well ju hand, and the many subjects for con sideration by the association put be fore lt. The work was begun by calling for the report of the executive commit tee, which was read by T. M. Elrod, secretary of this committee. After due consideration of the report, a res olution was proposed ind adopted in st rrfrting tho incoming executive committee to take Into consideration such steps as may be thought wise, locking to the organization of the churches in the association into fields where each group might bo assisted in locating resident pastors, whose Whole time may be devoted to the people of his churches. This forming of several churches Into pastorates would, in tho opinion of tho associa tion, make many of our country churches strong, Influential and effi cient In the Master's work. The as sociation readily realizes that this body has no inherent right to dic tate to any church who it shall call as its pastor, nor with what other church lt shall affiliate, and it does not intend to try to dictate. The only object of this undertaking is to try to get churches into sympathy with those other churches with whom they might unite until each shall have grown strong enough to stand by it self, and thus, while growing, do bet ter work for its own j>eoplo and at the same time be of assistance to others and have a good minister lo cated in tho midst of all. It developed that there was not a church in the association that had preaching every Sunday in the menth, and only a few that employed a paslor for half his time. It ls tho fond hope of the association, by the grouping of churches, to increase the efficiency of the Individual church and give tpe peopie better church ad vantages by the location of good pas tors right among them, where their whole time and service may be ex erted for good and growth. To this end the executive committee recom mends assistance by the State Mis sion Board. Home missions, foreign missions and State missions were each enthu siastically - considered and larger work pitched, from which we hope to see a plenteous fruitage in the near future. i 30 S ! our Thirty-Day He WE DO THIS-V ad the amount of t s this date you wi] COME AN] j. i The orphanage came in for a large share of the time and attentif) of the association, and it is with pndo that we can tell you that this institution is in a prosperous and growing con dition. Hero the Baptists aro mak ing good and useful men and women out of little, helpless children, who are taken In at almost all ages from infants to fifteen years of age. In the institution we have, In round numbers, two hundred and forty children, who aro on their way to useful manhood and womanhood. Who wants to help this work? May God's richest blessings rest on it. The report of the committee on the laymen's work was laid before tho body by J. B. Harris and was re ceived and considered with deep in terest. After due discussion the re port was adopted and a resolution passed authorizing the laymen's com mittee next year to undertake the raising of a sum equal to one dollar per member of the males in the asso ciation, lo this end an account should be kept with each church, thus enabling all to see where the interest in the cause is most deeply felt. One dollar will impoverish no one, but If we gather together one dollar for each male member it will be a creditable sum and will accom plish much. The committee on the laymen's movement for next year is composed of the following brethren: J. Ti Hr.?rb w. M. Lemmons, C. P. Hetrtck .fake Cromer and Joe GI) mph. Ti?e report on temperance was sub- | milted by J. W. Shelor. The facts given ia the report were commouiou on by him and he recited the evil In fluence exerted on the man Intoxicants. The moderate use ls at the expense of the liver, excessive use at the expense of the kidneys and any use at all at the expense of spir itual growth and reputation. The consumer of alcoholic liquors can ex ert little influence for higher morals or better manhood. Education was next, and this sub ject received much consideration at the hands of the body. P. P. Sulli van read the report on education gen erally, and also the report of the committee on the mountain school to be located at Long Creek. In the discussion of these reports it was ' made known that the Home Mission I Board of the Southern Baptist Con vention has appropriated a large sum I of money to assist in the establish ment and maintenance of this school, bul the people of Long Creek and the Beaverdam Association must show their interest in a material way by contributing to the extent of their reasonable ability. We feel sure that i Long Creek will do all in her power ! to carry out such an enterprise In her j midst, for when it shall have beon es- j tablished the people will have one of | the most desirable neighborhoods in i the whole of upper Carolina. It will I make that mountain valley blossom I as a rose. The committee to handle this work will be named by the mod erator at an early date, after he shall have had time to confer with differ ent brethren interested as to. who ls the most available man to head the work. It is a big task, but he can and will do the work, and will erect for himself a monument more lasting than marble. The following executive commit tee was elected for tho incoming year: P. P. Sullivan, J, W. Shelor, J. B. Harris, T. M. Elrod, H. C. Wal ker, M. A. Wood and Rev. L. M. Lyda. Upon motion, a committee was ap pointed to ascertain the names of the members of the churches of this as sociation who have died since the last session of the body and make suitable mention of them in the min utes. This committee requests some member of each church to send the names, the dates of birth and death of each departed brother or sister, with such other information as may be desirable, either to J. W. Shelor at Walhalla, or P. P. Sullivan at West minster. The association directed tho clerk to print In tho minutes of this session of the association such parts of the minutes of the W. M. IL as they may desire. Tho next session of the association will meet with the Walhalla Baptist church, on Tuesday after the first Sunday In August, 1914. ---.**"- i It's Punk AU Right.
