A large number of our people attended the children's foreign mission day services which were held in tho I resbvlerian church Sunday evening, May fU. The church was packed to its seating capacity. Tho program, which was prepared by the executive committee of foreign missions of tho Presbyterian church in the United States, was a very attractive one as to matter and arrangement. A slight \ arial iou was a solo by Mrs. Thomas, wile of Prof.* Thomas, of Newberry college, which was well rendered. Three recitations, "Missions and Minding,'' by Miss l.ouiscc Jones, I ell Others, by Miss Sara Simmons, "Out of the Depths," by Miss Sara \\ illiamson, were given pleasantly and with irood expression. The , "Missionary Alphabet." in which all joined, was a well-arranged rcspou- j; sive Seripturc remling, ea~|i letter of . I he alphabet being followed bv a verse from the Scriptures, all hearing up- ? "" the important theme, "Mis- j sions. I lie ehoir rendered good service in leading the songs. "Send the t.ospel Light. "Hail to I lie brightness of /.ion's glad morning." and others. Dr. Pelham, the superintendent of j the Sunday school, ? expressed great j pleasure in I lie fncl that Kev. II. IL| Sweets, of Louisville. Kv., Ims accepted his invitation lo nuiko the address. Mr. Sweets is a charming speak j or. ;iikI was heard with good attention as lie (old of the great needs of the foreign field, and of l lie part I lie Soul hern Presbyterians were performing toward relieving the distress of llic heathen, who were without the gospel and hope of salvation. I he offering was especially intendeil |o sustain the mission schools conducted under the care of the church in Africa, Hra/.il, China, Cuba, .Japan. Korea and Mexico. At the close of the service the superintendent, Dr. Wm. K. 'Villain, referred to his resignation, having hand ed same in to the session o! the church two weeks ago, to take effect at this service. Dr. Pelham said that he felt constrained to do this because of conscientious convictions. He loved the Sabbath school work more than anv work in which he had ever engaged. He loved the children and desired for t hem (bid's richest benedictions. He I had labored and served as superintendent tor twenty-three years, and these have been years of great joy to him because they have been years jof great service. i He stated that because (ho Sunday school of Aveleigh church is not large j in numbers, it ought not be impossible J for it to do great things lor the Master. just as the invincible armies of Dee and Jackson covcnJ themselves with glory and renown though the odds were heavy against them. That while it was proper thai at all times the creed of Presbyterians should be emphasized to a Presbyterian school, it was more, and beyond that he had I given his host efforts and enthusiasm looking to a personal confession on the pari of every boy and girl, every j young man and maiden, of a personal Christ, whom we served and adored. He desired to magnify the importance of Sunday school work in the hearts of all present. Dr. Pelham stated further that it was not that he was tired of the work, but he hoped that the high ideals he had striven to impress would in years lo come prove fruitful of great, joy and happiness lo every one. Dr. Pelham has for many years been prominently identified with the Sun day schools al large and is a mem- ] her of the international executive i committee form South Carolina. RURAL CARRIERS.
