Successful Meeting-Advocates Or ganization for State Wide Prohi bition-Orphange Liberally Supported. T'he Reedy River Asstociatio in hIehl i:s 8:5.rd annual Imt1ti lg l 11 i ile Firsi iaptist Church. 40f NewbLer.y. l)e'i1 nin1g last Friday morning. This was the niost successful meet hng of the association since the withdrawal of the Laurens churches to organize the Laurens association. There are only four resident pastors of the association. Revs. G. A. Wright. J. F. McGill. B. P. Mitchell. and J. F. Cason. One church is located in Laurens county and is served by Rev. C. Lewis Fowler, of Clinton. All of 1 the other churches are in Newberry county. Reedy River is now one of the smallest associations but last year it was stated by one who had studied the figures that it gave more per capita than any other association in the State. averaging over $9.00 per member. For several years it has been among the first in gifts for missions. The communicant member ship is between 1000 and 1200. The membership of the association is tom posed of the pastors and five dele gates from each church. Among the visitors to the associa tion was the Rev. A. T. Jamisoah, sup erintendent of the Connie Maxwell Orphanage, who explained in detail 1 the great work that is being done in that institution. Three of the girls who, are being cared for there won scholarships in Winthrop college. There is no work in the denomination I ,that appeals more to the hearts of the people than that which is being done at Connie Maxwell. Reedy River association supports six orphans in the home. Twelve years ago the First Baptist church was the i first to begin the individual support of an orphan, and supported one or phan. Two years ago they began the support of two orphans <nd find it I about as easy to raise $12.00 a month i as it was to raise $6.00. This work I is done through the Sunday school, and the interest taken is due in no small measure to -the active work of the superintendent. Col. W. H. H~unt, who is also a member of the board of trustees of the orphanage. Mrs. Sue Turnipseed. a member of the< First Baptist church, was the first to< leave a fund to endow a scholar ship in the orphanage. The Bush River and Mt. Zion c.hurches support ( one orphan each and the other ehurc'hes of the association support the other twvo. One feature of this meeting was the I presence of Mr. Piani, an Italian who I was an ardent Catholic priest, highly educated in the chureh and a pro fessor in one of the schools in Brazil. but having 'been converted to the1 protestant religion, lie is now in the Theological Semin'ary of Louisville,. preparing to return to Brazil as a missionary. He delivered a most instructive address and told of his1 experiences. When he left the Catho lic church he had to sacrifice home, I and loved ones, and earthly posses- 1 sions, having been disinherited by his 1 family. The first session of the associationI was held on Friday morning at ten 1 o'clock. and was celled to order by< the moderator. Mr. J. W. D. Johnson. Devotional exercises were conducted 1 by Rev. R. S. Brock, of Clinton. 1i The old officers were reeleeted as folows: J. W. D. Johnson. modera tor, Theo. Danielson, secretary, I. MI. Smith, treasurer. Rev. C. Lewis Fowler preached the 1 introductory sermon or Friday morn ing selecting his text from Psv. 144: 12. His theme was spiritual atmos phere and the sermon was a mast im pressive and inspiring one and it be came the keynote of t'he meeting. From the beginning every session of the convention was characterized by a deep spiritual quickenijig. The as- 1 sociation is small and..the attendance is necessarily small but there was' much enthusiasm and earnestness and from this standpoint the meeting was1 a most remarkable success. Among the visiting members to whom the privileges of the floor were extended were: Revs. Stringfield,: Jamison, Poteat. Piana, and the lo cal ministers of the city were extend ed the privileges of the floor. The report as to aged ministers was read by Mr. W. R. Elmore and several speeches were made urging contributions to this worthy cause. A colletion was taken amounting to $10.00. The, report on the Sunday school was read by Mr. R. Y7. Leav4ll.
