The concert last Monday evening in the Institute hall under the auspices of the "Alkahest Lyceum system" was fairly well attended, and the Ariel La dies quartette gave a charming per formance. It was a magnificent blend ing of voices. Miss Dickinson's second alto was, in our opinion the special fea ture. It was a voice full of harmonious melody, the deepest ever heard from the Institute stage. Her recitations were also good. Miss Donovan's ren dition of "Camena" was delightful. Her voice is round and sweet and reach es the high notes without effort. Miss Leavitt as a violinist is charming. Miss Sampson's first alto was much enjoyed. The quartet won merited approval from the audience, especially their rendition of "Minnehana"-this was rand. The quartet in costume "The family drum corps" pleased everybody and for a~ final encore the young ladies rang "Dixie" which always finds a soul stirring response in every audience. it was indeed a nice concert. We want to direct the attention of our readers to the advertisements it this issue. The Simmerton Mercantile Company, after an actual test of the value of advertising in these colnmnns, is back again with another full page, and it is evident this concern means to hustle off the stock they now have. Summerton has outgrown any place in the State in the same length of time and the Summerton Mercantile Comn pany is largely to be credited wih t rowth.

Brethren Who Dwcl in Unity. Winnsboro, December 5.-On last Sunday morning, Rev. J. M. Holladay, former pastor of the Presbyterian church at Manning, preached at Winnsboro, at Zion Presbyterian church, to which he has been called and of which he will be installed as pastor next Sunday. His text was "Bear one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ." He handled his subject with grace. point and forcible exposition, and his large congregation listened with the closest and most zealous attention. On Sunday night at the same church, Rev. Holladay was most warmly wel comed by the pastors of this place, to the Christian community and homes and hearts and fellowship of all the de nominations. Rev. J. L. Freeman of the Baptist church greeted Rey. Holladay in most gordial terms, inviting him to his church and to his home and to the homes of his congregation, and finally clasped the hand of the distinguished divine with the tenderest words of wel come and fellowship. Rev. C. E. McDonald of the Asso ciate Reformed Presbyterian church then arose and with dignity and grace gave his and his church's welcome to Rev. J. M. Holladay. The former claimed the latter's people as his peo ple, because of their almost entire unity of faith and doctrine. But above ail, his claim that the Presbyterians here were his people was founded on the fact that he had for 18 years shared with them their joys and sorrows, had been with them in afiliction and trou ble and the brotherhood of sorrow brings about "One faith, one Lord and. one baptism." Rev. J. M. Holladay was noticeably affected by this sincere demonstration of Christian love and welcome: he was not prepared in speech for it, but he responded with a heart too fall for wordy utterance. It wras an affective scene, this meet ing together of brethren in unity, and the entire community felt the uplift of noble impulse and purpose which this cordial welcome awoke in their hearts. At the commencement of these inter esting exercises the Presbyterian choir sang a voluntary number, "Not a Spar row Falleth." It was well and feel ingly rendered. The piece consisted mainly of an alto solo, which was sung by Miss Ella Beaty, with a clearness and beauty of expression seldom heard in a village choir. A tenor solo, by Mr. J. G. McCants, was enjoyed by all. After the above welcome, and after Rev. J. M. Holladay was introduced to the large audience, composed of many persons from the different denomina tions in town, he preached a sermon on the reasonabileness of the service of God, which Goderequires of man With rapid citations, with ease and fluency, he showed that the service of God was above any other service, a reasonable service. His style was luminous, con vincing and appealing and the entire discourse received the closest attention from his large audience. After the benediction by Rev. J. L. Freeman, the service closed.

BROOK, I Executrix. Summerton, S. C., Dec. 8. 1906. Bears the ~The KndoHae Always Bought Manuing Baptist church History. The address we print below was de livered by Captain D. J. Bradham on Sunday Nov. 25. at the celebration of the dedication of the present baptist church buildirg. We expected to pub lish it last week, but was unavoidably prevented. It is of general historic in terest and a good paper. The address is as follows: Brethren and Sisters of thC Church: It is wiLh feelings of profound tbank fulness to Almighty God that we stand here to-day to speak a word concern ing the history of this church. Ten years ago I stood here in your preseace to perform this duty, and a feeling of profound gratitude comes over me as I recall the fact that some who were here then are not here to-day, and God for some wise purpose lias spared my life to be here today and enter into the' spirit of this occasion and to assist in the tenth anniversary of the dedication of this church. In the historical ad dress.of ten years ago I reviewed the past history of this church from its or ganization to the year 1896, and told you how these years had been years of struggle, of tears and at the sametime of triumph and victory and that God's unseen hand had led us along through the years broadening the work and in creasing the possibilities, and deepen ing the responsibilities, and in and through it all God has brought us on our way with increased hoDes. Ten milestones lie behind us and almost each one of them marks new experi ences tor the church. I shall today de part from my usual historical address and give you a vision of the past as we behald it in the grip of years. You have assigned me the duty of travelling with you alor.g through the checkered life and V.1ried scenes of this church,through a period of nearly fifty years, more than the average life of. a human being. To review the past life of a man 48 years old from infancy to old ago is no small job, and to recall the history of a church is a task equal ly as great. I am perhaps the only liv ing member of this church who was present at its organization forty-eight years ago, and because of my close identification with the church through all these years I am perhaps better fit ted for the task than any member pres ent. The historic life of this church began back yonder before the civil war, before there were any churches, schools or manufacturing industries or even places of business to draw people to the church. A little band of God fearing men and women came out from old Moriah, Fellowship, and Home Branch churches and constituted what is now known as the Baptist Church of Manning. They were few in number ad had not much of this;world's goods, yet God blessed them and crowned their efforts with success. With a mere handful of people this church started out upon its God-given mission with Rev. .i. J. Fleming as pastor and lead er. Brother Fleming served in this capacity for two years, having as his Deacons and co-laborers James D. Hodge, and Hugh F. Touchberry, who filled their respective places in this capacity faithfully and w-ell until their death. The second pastor of the church was David W. Cuttino, who served the church through a period of nine years, during which time the church grew in numbers, and in spiritual power. His pastorate covered that dark and stormy period known as the civil war when many of the members enlisted and went to the front to suffer and to die for their country, among whom were John R. Haynesworth and James D. Kelly, these noble sons laid down their lives on the battlefields of Virginia, and left thers to take up the work of the hurchwhich they had so nobiy begun. fter the war clouds had passed Broth r Cuttino continued his work. among us, gathering up the fragments of home nd kindred that the war had left, and rying as best he could to begin anew the life of the church. From the year 89 to 1870, Rev. E. A. Edwards served the church, and in 1871. Rev. H. WV. dahoney served as patsor only eight onths. From 152 to 1873, Rev. W. . Hughson served as pastor of the hurch, and his Godly life and walk and deep spiritual insight into the Word made Ghis the most spiritual eriod of the church history. Rev. M. . Ball was called to the church in 1875. and served as pastor one year, after which dame Rev. J. W. Perry, n 1877, who labored in our midst for early eighr, years, when he resigned o accept oaher work. Brother Perry was strong in body and mind, and stronger still in the great doctrines of the church. and deepened greatly the broad teaclaing of the Bible as is be ~eved and held by Baptists. From 1884 to 1888, Rev. L. D. Bass was the astor of this church. Following him ame Rev. T. J. Rooke, who served the hurch very acceptable for two years. From 1890, to 1892, came the pastorate f Rev. T. E. Jaspetr whose period will o down in histo:-y as the darkest and ost stormy period in the history of the hurch. DEscord and strife abounded n every hand. From 1892 to 1894, theI hurch was without a pastor save two For Thin Babies Fat is of great account to a baby ; that -is why babies are fat.

From 1894 to 1906, our present pastor has served us, covering a period of nearly thirteen years. In 1896, was be gun and finished, the present house of worship, whose dedication we meet to celebrate today. It is now my duty and privilege to speak to you of the work of the church during the last ten years of her life. and to say to you that these have been years of gracious privileges and the most splendid opportunities. The, be ginning of this tenth year period found us with our plans well laid, with a good house in which to worship, built and paid for, and with a fine department for the work of the Sunday school, and everything in seemingly good working order, naturally therefore, we will ex pect this to be the best in the history of the church. The growth of the church during these ten years has been very marked in three separate and distinct ways: 1 Numerically. During these ten years there have been added to the membership of this church more than four hundred persons, chiefly by bap tism, an average of over forty persons each year for the past ten. The San day school has grown from a little band into a- mighty host, numbering from between two and three hundred. The gracious revivals under Hedgpeth and Boothe, Fitch, Porter, Jamison, Wilk ins, our Pastor, and Cooper, will doubt less tell for good in eternity. Many souls were led to accept Jesus Christ as their Saviour, and enter into the church for service. 2. FINANCIALLY. The church has grown in material substance, and in financial power. The first years of this new period under the leadership of our present pastor found us contrib uting about one hundred dollars a year for all objects Where we paid hun dreds then, we pay thousands now. Last year with all the discouragements, we were under God able to pay out the splendid sum of $4,173.86, an average of 94,173.86 per year for the past ten.. We have paid out for all objects during these ten years S41,738.59 and some ot this has gone into every department of work fostered by our church and de nomination. Some has gone to the Orphanage to feed and clothe the fatherless, some into schools and col leges some to cheer the pathway of the ld preachers, some into the statemis sion funds to be spread all over the tate and to build up the waste places Af our native land, some into the Home Board's hands, some into the faraway [sles of the sea, and the great heathen world lying beyond. True we have not lone our best but what we have given as gone out to bless the nations, and to cheer the hearts of our missionaries brother and sister league in far away Mhina. We built this splendid house >f worship in which we worship today it a cost of over $5,000 and then we have added nearly $1,500 to this in the increased Sunday school rooms, and we are just finishing yet another addi tion which will add much to the con enience of this department. During ill these years we have been growing in financial strengbh, also there has been a corresponding growth in liber lity. We now support three orphans t the orphanage, and pay enough to support one missionary in China, though we do not support one indepen lently, our contributions are divided between brother Herring and brother Eeague. .Tune 24, 1901 A. J. Tindal died. He ad served the clihrch faithfully for nore than a quarter of a century. In the year 1901 Brother Coleman 3ame to us as Colporteur and labored n our midst for more than five years, ~oing into the homes of all and in his iiet way talking the great truths of be bible and church. But felt called apon to resign his work on January 1st f this year, and moved to Union where he now labors. 3. SPIRITUALLY. I believe our ~hurch is stonger spiritually today than ever before in her history. It is rue with us as it is with every church hat some are cold and indifferent to svard the church and their privileges a Christians, but while these are growig colder perhaps, thank God thers are growing more spiritual, get ing nearer and nearer to Christ and more closely identified with the work lhus brethren I have given you a iision of the past as we have beheld it in the grip of years. Whatever we have been able to achieve in the past has been due to the manifold blessings of God upon our feeble and sinful efforts. What the future will be will depend upon our consecration and wil lingness to do his will. So with bowed eads and grateful hearts we say "The Lord has done great things for us whereof we are glad," to him be all the glory forever.-Amenl. BUSINESS LOCALS.
