then read a Scripture lesson, which <

by Mr. A. 11. Kohn, superintendent of
/race Sui'.d.t. sch I
Mr. 1{. T. C. Hunter followed with
address to tlie young folks in which
lie laid stress upon the fact that
young people should obey their parents.
They should live a clean life,
so when they are old- they can look
back over their past life with pleasure.
Dr. (ico. B. Cromer, of Newberry,
made the address to the "old folks."
lie selected as his subject, as he said,
one of the most beautiful and yet one
uf the saddest passages in the Scriplures?Remember
now thy Creator
in (he days of thy youth, lie said he
hardly knew who to eal old. Some are
nhl at .'50 and others not until 00. He
laid stress on tlie fact that young men
t'ould get knowledge but old men had
experience. The young cannot inherit
it. The gulf stream of youth will
flow far into old age. lie pointed a
great many lives of men in history
who had done the most for their country
and had given the very best service
between the ages of 00 and 70.
Some of the great historians, poets,
statesmen and many leaders of our
noun try were above 00. Tie fore cloning
liis address he talked ty th/ youfcg
folks awhile. He said, we were not
respectful enough to old age. The
host steps, the noblest steps we take
nre lead by the little child. The old
man always refreshes himself by
memory visits to his youth.
'I his synopsis does not do justice to
(lie address as every one knows who
lias ever heard Dr. Cromer, that he is
>iie of the most instructive and most
eloquent speakers in the State. The
nddrcss was highly pleasing and enjoyed
by every one present.
The exercises closed by singing,
"When the Roll is Called up Yonder."
PASTOR SHEA.LY SURPRISED.
Council Meeting Ends in Pleasant ,
Surprise?Newberry Pastorate Remember
Their Pastor.
To the Editor,Herald and News:
With your permission I wish to say i
that May the 28th, was a day loug
to he remembered, especially by the
writer and his family. The day had i
l>een appointed for a meeting of the i
joint council of the Newberry pastor- i
ute to be held at Mayer Memorial 1
jhnrch. But this was not all the appoint
men t for the day. There was "a I
[rick" to be played on the pastor and '
lis family, yes, "a trick," indeed. i
As the hour for the meeting appro- j
iched the people of the pastoriltc be- <
?an to gather at the parsonage with
baskets and -packages of all shapes
md sizes. But it was not until the
msiness of the council was over that !
the "trick" was fully made known.
A committee was appointed to place
i table in the long piazza of the parsonage.
We then began to realize what
those baskets meant. Such a dinner <
can none prepare and serve better ]
than tin- good ladies of the Newberry
pastorate. After the large company
lad eaten the table was still groaning <
beneath its burden. ,
But this was not all the "trick." I
The pantry was well tilled with flour, :
meal, hams, lard, sugar, coffee, rice
fruits and many other nice things
ivhiclt. 1 need not mention. Both the i
liouso and the wood yard received
consideration.
Kind friends please accept the sincere
(hanks of your humble pastor !
md his family for these tokens of es- i
teem. I
The occasion will never be forgotten i
mid will go down in the history of
the Newberry pastorate as a day of i
hotli pleasure and profit. May the (
Lord bless the thoughtful and kindhear!
ed people. 1

I here is much to see (hat is novel in
Burma and visitors have only to plan
their Journey lor (he cooler months

Travellers are cautioned not ro
- make personal remarks about the
Burmans (hey may meel. The more
intelligent natives probably understand
Lnglish, ami in any ease thov
are very sensitive to ridicule.
I lu> women of (he country are verv
charming at a distance, but do not
bear close inspection. They are quite
' :,s naive as the Japanese and far
, more free in their ways, hut (hey
i greatly resent familiarity.
They are the merchants of (ho
market places, and the traveller must
have his wit about him or lie will be
overreached in trade. The government
has tound it necessary to warn all
white-coiners against the "iutelli1
gence and business capaeilv" of these
s women merchants.
^ ou may travel by rail or steamboat
up the majestic Irawadi to Man'
da lay, the capital of Upper Burma.
' in the heart of the country. Von mav
steam up that river to Bhamo, far
? above Mandalay, on the splendid
s s(earners (hat ply t rotn Rangoon to
. the head of the navigation.
Rangoon has become a great commeicial
<'ity, as much I'lUropean as
' Burmese so that it does not offer the
surprises that are found further inland,
though jls pagodas are amom?
- the most magnificent in Asia. For
, massive grandeur the Slave Oagon
1 a^oda, with its huge dome overlaid
with gold leal, has few equals in the
I world and I lie Burmese lake special
pride in it.
For .'{."in miles up the river from
1 Rangoon the count rv may lie said to
1 be one vast rice liehl. Burma is ttu.largesl
producer of rice, and for several
months during the shipping season
tourists see nt every vailroad unit
steamboat station long lines of ricc
I bags piled lip eight feet high awaiting
transport to the ric.e mills and the
docks of Rangoon.
The greatest objects of interest at
; Mandalay are King Tliebaw's palaces,
where lived that weak ruler and his
handsome queen, who controlled him
I and incited the bloody' deeds that
? made him infamous. The palaces
stand in a walled enclosure four utiles
square, pierced with guard gates and
> surrounded by a moat. Thebaw and
- his queen now live in India, prisoners
of the British government.
Today there is not an article of the
furniture in any of the palaces. A
' part of the queen's palace was used
tor a while as a club for Kuropeans,
but Lord Cur/on ordered it to lie giv
en up, as all the buildings are of teak
and a fire might easily destroy every'
thing.
' Nearly every building has its eu1
rious history. One of the structures
' is a watch tower of solid wood started
and completed in one day by The1
haw's father, who told the builder
; that unless he completed the structure
in twenty-four hours he would
1 be beheaded.
All visitors Iqive a talk with ('apt.
Rcotnan, who was imprisoned with
other Kuropcans by Thebaw. For a
week he and the other whites were led
out every day to be beheaded, but for
! some reason were remanded to prison,
j They were all released when the Brinish
forces came up, but the strain
j was too great for one of the unfor1
<tunnies, who went mad in that week.
It was Thebaw who, incited by his
wife put to death under circumstances
| of great brutality between seventy
and eighty princes, princesses and
high olYcials in February, 18/0. The
outburst of horror ifnd indignation
which these massacres caused hid soon
a ft en to the overthrow of Thebaw and
the occupation of his country by the
British.
