Three former pastors of the church Rev. F. O. S. Curtis, of Walterboro; the Rev. M. W. Gordon, of Decatur, Ala., and the Rev. Edward S. Reaves, of Honea Path? were present and took part in the ex1 ercises.

Mr. Hair then invoked the Divine blessing, which was followed by the singing of "How Firm a Foundation." After the reading of the Scripture lesson by Rev. Edward S. Reaves, a prayer was offered by Rev. F. O. S. Curtis, to be followed by the dedicatory sermon by Mr. Reaves, whose text was taken from I Timothy 111:14-15.

Boyd, the ceremony of laying on of hands by the ministers present was followed by an impressive sermon by Mr. Curtis in the nature of a charge to the deacons. A hymn was then sung by the choir and congregation, at the conclusion of which an address was made by Mr. Gordon relative to the duties of church members. Mr. Gordon is an earnest speaker and his remarks were listened | to with manifest interest. Before the benediction was pronounced by Mr. | Reaves, Mr. Hair stated that morning and afternoon services would be held in the church during the week and that he would be assisted in the services by Mr. Gordon.
