f REEDY RIVER ASSOOIATION.
I
Successful Meeting?Advocates Organization
for State Wide^ Prohibition?Orphange
Liberally
Supported.
The Weedy River Association held
its Slto'd annual meeting with the First
Baptist church, of Newberry, beginning
lust Friday morning.
This was the most,successful meeting
of the association since the
withdrawal of the Laurens churches
to organize 'the Laurens association.
There are only four resident pastors
of (he association, Itevs. O. A. Wright,
J. F. McGill, B. P. Miteliell, and J.
F. Cnson. One church is located in
Laurens county and is served by Rev.
C. Lewis Fowler, of Clinton. All of
tlie other churches are in Newberry
county.
Weedy River is now one of the
smallest associations bul last year it
was stated by one who had studied
the figures (hat il gave more per
capita (ban any other association in
the Slate, averaging over $0.00 per
member. For several years il has
been among (he first in gifts for
missions. The communicant membership
is between 1000 and 120(1. The
membership of the association is pomposed
of the pastors and five delegates
from each church.
Among (he visitors to (lie association
was the Rev. A. T. Jamisoh, superintendent
of (lie Connie Maxwell
Orphanage, who explained in detail
(he great work (hat is being done in
(hat institution. Three of the girls
who, are being cared for there won
scholarships in Winthrop college.
There is no work in the denomination
^tiliat appeals more to the hearts of
ilie people than that which is being
done at Connie Maxwell.
Weedy Wiver association supports
six orphans in (he home. Twelve years
ago the First Baptist church was the
first to begin the individual support
of an orphan, and supported one orphan.
Two years ago they began the
support of (wo orphans nnd find it
about as easy to raise $12.00 a month
as it was (o raise $0.00. This work
is done through the Sunday school,
and the interest taken is due in no
small measure to.the active work of
the superintendent. < "ol. W. II. Hunt,
who is also a member of the board
of I rust cos of the orphanage. Mrs.
Sue Turnipseed. a member of the
Firs! Baptist church, was the first to
leave a fund to endow a scholarship
in the orphanaire. The Bush
"River and Ml. Zion churches support
one orphan each and the other
churches of the association support
the other two.
One feature of this meeting was the
presence of Mr. Piani, an Italian who
was an ardent Catholic priest, highly
educated in the church and a professor
in one of the schools in Brazil,
but having been converted to the
protest ant religion, he is now in the
Theological Seminary of Louisville,
preparing to return (o Brazil as a
missionary. lie delivered a nios(
instructive address and told of his
experiences. When he left the Catholic
church he had to sacrifice home,
and loved ones, and earthly possessions,
having been disinherited by his
family.
The first session of (he association
was held on Friday morning at ten
o'clock, and was celled to order by
the moderator, Mr. .1. \V. I). Johnson.
Devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev. R. S. Brock, of Clinton.
The old officers were reelected as
follows: .1. W. I). Johnson, moderator,
Tlieo. Daniclsou, secretary, T. M.
Smith, treasurer.
Rev. O. Lewis Fowler preached the
introductory sermon on Friday morning
selecting his text from Psv. 144:12.
His theme was spiritual atmosphere
and the sermon was a ni^st impressive
and inspiring one and i( became
the keynote of ('lie meeting.
From the beginning every session of
(lie convention was characterized by
a .deep spiritual quickening. The associalion
is small and J lie attendance
is necessarily small but there was
much enthusiasm and earnestness and
from (his standpoint (he meeting was
a most remarkable success.
Among the visiting members (o
whom the privileges of the floor were
extended were: Revs. String-field,
Jamison, Potent, Piana, and the local
ministers of (lie cily were exlended
the privileges of (he floor.
The report as (o aged ministers
"was read by Mr. W. R. Elmore and
several speeches were made urging
contributions to this worthy causer. A
collection was taken amounting to
$10.00.
The. report on the Sunday school
was read by Mr. W. V. Leavell. Speaking
(o the report Dr. Derienx emphasized
the importance of making., the
Sunday school attractive nnd helpful
(o ('he young. Mr. Wright continued
Ibis line of discussion and Mr. Stringfield
spoke feelingly of the glorious
--- . . , - V .. - .
work of the Sunday school in the salvation
of souls.
In the "absence of Col. \V. II. Hunt,
Rev. G. A. Wright read the report on
the orphanage. Hev. A. T. Jaiuison
presented a strong' appeal for the
orphans and gave clear insight into
the work done and attempted to be
done at the orphanage and of the life
at the orphanage.
Neither Revs. \Y. \Y. Keys or A. J.
S. Thomas of the Baptist Courier was
present and much regret was expressed
that they could not be present and
the committee on periodicals was also
absent.
Hev. J. F. Cason made a report and
a strong appeal for more earnest endeavors
o nt-he part of pastors and
laymen in the matter of having the
periodicals of the church more generally
read, lie- suggested that in
all the churches there be a committee
appointed to look after all (lie periodicals,
to make thorough canvas, to
see that every home that is able take
the church paper and it necessary to
have a fund to supply subscription
price when families did not feel able
to do so. He vs. Mitchell, Fowler and
Derieux strongly endorsed the plan
suggested and urged the necessity of
Yvery Baptist church member reading
his denominational literature. It is
ii notable fact, as brought out in the
discussion, that by far the tnoM of
the benevtrtenee is from the readers
of the religious works.
Fridav night there was a large attendance
and an enthusiastic meeting
to consider t'he question of education.
The subject was introduced ..by the
reading of the report on education by
Hev. B. P. Mitchell. Addresses were
made by l)rs. 1'oteat and Stringfield.
On Saturday morning the woman's
work was presented by Kevs. Wright
and Mitchell who emphasized the import
Jince of this branch of the church
work showing how much of the good
that is done is traceable directly to
the modest, untiring efforts of the
women.
Dr. J as. Mcintosh presented a orcefill
report on, home missions showing
most clearly the vast importance of
this branch of the work in the South.
Mr. Fowler emphasized the present
opportunity in taking and holding the
Southland for Christ, showing how
New Kngland has lost Iht chance to
Christianize the incoming tide of
foreivn population. Rev. Mr. Cason
e.Hcd attention "I S.r-tlh Carolina's

The climax of enthusiasm and deep
soul eeling was reached, when Rev.
(!. A. Wright, after readiny !'>? report
on foreign missions, introduced
Hev. Piani. native of Italy, later trom
Rrazil where lie was converted by m
missionary, lie presented a masterly
paper showing why he became a prot
est si 111. No one ever lislened to
clearer logic nor sounder theology.
The life and experience of this young
heathen argues strongly for missions.
The congregation cheerfully contributed
.+2">.00 to Mr. Piani to help him
in his preparation at Louisville to become
a missionary to Brazil. A
brother suggested to him that this was
a little interest the Lord had given
him on the heritage he had-forfeited
by becoming a proiestant. Special
prayer was offered by Dr. J. \Y. W oiling
that Mr. Piani's family might be
led to Christ, and that they might
receive him again as a son and brother.
The time for the next meeting of
the association was fixed for Friday
before the third Sunday in September,
1 flOfl, and the place Hurricane
church near Clinton.
Rev. -UF. Cason was elected delegate
to the Southern Baptist convention
with Rev. B. P. Mitchell as alternate.
Mr. Tlieo. Danielson read the report
on State missions. Dr. Derieux
spoke of t'he great work that has been
done by this board of State missions
among the mill population, how lliat
many churches are founded and others
held together by the work this
board is doing. He called attention
to the fact that Dr. Bailey's ideal
"A Baptist church in every community
in South Carolini" has almost
been reached. Revs. >1. F. Cason and
J. F. McCiill 1'L-o spoke on the report.
Dr. .lames Mcintosh was instructed
to draw u'? and present to the association
re- 'hitinns ol regret at Dr.
Bailey's absence from this meeting.
At I he afternoon session on Saturday
Rev. J. 1 . McfHl presented t'he
report on "ten.;er.i.u e which was an
excellent, one. 'ihe keynote of the
speeches made on this report by
Messrs. Wright, Cason, Craig, Leavcll
and Johnson was organization for a
strong fight during the next two years
for Slate wide prohibition.
After the report on ministerial education
read by Rev. .1. F. Cason and
speeches on the subject by Revs.
Wright. Mitchell. and Derieux.
special pravcr was offered by Rev.
Wright that Clod would thrust forth
more laborers into his harvest. A
