No pastor can refrain from doing his
best when he has so much encourage- ?

f Shortly after beginning this work ,
wre began to talk about building a new
r ^ f
Macedonia church. The reason that "
CI
prompted this was two-fold: First, the
old church was no linger adequate,
* I
due to the fact that the membership
was forciblvy growing; secondly, the
people were ready for it and had the
money to invest in such and were ready
to do so. The material of which
the church is built is of the very best
and the contract was let to Mr. W. T.
Livingston of the city of Newberry.
The church cost $3,000.00, material
and erection.
Then the congregation to a man
said, we must have new and modern
furnishings. The amount of $800.00
was soon raised and the contract was
given to the American Seating company.
When this was done the congregation
said, our church must be
painted. The amount necessary to dc
this was soon raised and our new,
church was soon clothed in a beauti
Wt ful white garment.

dedicated, the pastor being assisted
by Dr. W. H. Greever and Dr. J. W.
Horine. That was a great day, a
happy occasion and one that will nev- ;
er be forgotten by the good people
of this church and community.
Hardly had the pastor had time to!
take a long breath, when the Holy
Trinity congregation began to talk
"new church." Well, of course, the
pastor was ready to work again along
such lines. The congregation unanimously
voted for a new church building,
and immediately the necessary
committees were appointed and began
the faithful discharge of their duties.
The contract was let to Me. Jas. Cannon
of Columbia. The work of erection
was soon begun and at the proper
time was completed at a cost of $12,500.
Then, as in the case of the othef
congregation, these people said, we
must have new church furnishings.
The amount of $1,600 was raised and '
3ame was purchased of the American
Seating company. Later, the congregation
had the church beautifully
lighted at a cost of $500.00. There
Is a small debt resting on our church
svhich we hope will soon be removed,
then this church will be dedicated.
This would have already been done
tiad not the "hard times" struck us.
During the nine and a half years
in this work we have baptized 144
children and 4 adulvS, connrmed 112
children and three adults, received by

letters/of transfer 96; performed the
marriage ceremony for 58 couples:

made number of short addresses pertaining
to the church and Christian
living.
Our people in both congregations
have attended the services of the
church as well as one could reasonably
expect, many of them never missing
unless unavoidably detained.
They have responded to a very
"gratifying degree to all the appeals
of the church both locally and generally.
Their pastor arid family have
been kept reasonably comfortable,
both bv the salary given and other
gifts which were always gratefully received.
We have had three death? in the
Macedonia congregation during this
year, all three occurring together and
due to an oversight which the pastor
regrets very much, public mention of
the same, in the form of printed obituary,
was not made. I will now give
a brief account of each one, truly
hoping that I am not asking for toe
much space in your valuable paper.
Jno. Luther Derrick was born October
5, 1850, and departed this life
August 7, 1921, aged 70 years, 1C
months and 2 days. In the early
manhood he became a member of
Macedonia E. L. church by the rite
of confirmation and remained a faithful
and consistent member until death. J
He was an officer ih the church for a
number of years and always manifested
deep interest in the same. On
the 19th day of February, 1879, he
was married to Miss Hattie Eugenia
.Fellers and this bond was always
characterized by devotion, deep affection
and happiness. He was a good
neighbor and citizen and a delightful
host to his guests. His death was a
distinct loss to his community, state
and church. He leaves to mourn his
departure a wife, four sons and two
daughters, besides a host of other relatives
and friends. After appropriate
services in which the pastor was assisted
by the Rev. it. J. Biack, presi-dent,
of the South Carolina synod, his
'body was carried to its last resting
place in the cemetery of his church.

^ Elizabeth Catherine, the wife of D.
L. Epting, was born March 11, 1841,
and departed this life August 17, 1921,
in her 81st year. She was married in
the year 1886 and was a good and
faithful wife. The aim of her life
was to make her home happy and to
serve her Lord faithfully. Her step- '
ichildren were devoted to her, for they
found in her a good and true friend.
She was truly a good member of
Macedonia church and attended the
services of the same regularly until,

A life of a very remarkable career,
long and many in years; characterized
by unparalelled usefulness, unswerving
devotion, upwavering loyalty, unquestioned
fidelity, self-sacrificing and
uncomplaining has come to a close. Tc

church and a faithful servant of hei

through the lives and influence of
countless others. Truly the "workman
dieth, but the work goeth on."
Aunt Sallie was born October 12, 1826.
She was baptized in infancy and was
later confirmed in St. Peter's E. L.
church. After her marriage to David
Shealy, January 7, 1847, she was transferred
to Macedonia church to which
she was faithful to the end. She
reached the ripe age of 94 years, 8
months, and 4 days. She leaves tc
mourn her departure five sons and
one daughter; fifty-five grand children;
one hundred and fifty-five greatgrand-children;
twelve great-greatgrandchildren,
besides a host of other
relatives and friends.
"Dearest one, we shall not deplore
thee,
For to thy rest thou hast gone;
Some day we shall fneet thee
In that bright and beautiful home."
In the burial service which was
conducted in the presence of a large
concourse of people, the pastor was
assisted by Bros. Dutton, Carpenter,
Shealy and Harman. Her body was
then placed in the cemetery of her
church to await the morn of the resurrection.
Thanking you, Mr. Editor, in advance
for space in your paper for this

Taking Desperate Chances.
It is true that many contract severe
colds and recover from them without
taking any precaution or treatment,
and a knowledge of this fact leads
others to take their chances instead of
giving their colds the needed attention.
It should be borne in mind that
every cold weakens the lungs, lowers
the vitality, makes the system less
able to withstand each succeeding attack
and paves the way for the more
serious diseases. Can you afford to
take such desperate chances when

for its cures of bad colds may
