Agree With
The President
Washington, Jan. 24—Members
of the South Carolina legislative
, delegation today echoed the Presi
dent’s request for a strong For
mosan defense policy.
Sen. Strom Thurmond termed
the President’s resolution “ a wise
stand.” Rep. John J. Riley of the
Second District said it brings “a
better chance of peace,” and Rep.
William J. Bryan Dorn, Third Dis
trict, declared we now will “re
gain lost prestige."
“A wise action,'’ Sen. Thurmond
said. “It comes before the horse
is stolen and might prevent the
later necessity of trying to lock the
barn door on an empty stable.
“Letting the Communists know
we are willing to fight if necessary
may prevent the Chinese Reds not
only from encroachment on For.
mosa and the Pescadores Islands,
but also from pursuing some other
course that would endanger the
free world.”
Cnogressman Riley said: "The
time has come for us to establish
a line and be firm about it
“Formosa not only is in the
hands of our friends the Nation
alists, but is a strategic link In tha
defense of our Pacific possessions
and protectorates. If Formosa tell,
it would make both the Philippines
and Japan vulnerable to attack."

Memorial Service
For Departed Members
At Baptist Church
A memorial service was given
at the Baptist W. M. U. meeting
Tuesday afternoon for Mrs. Mary
Abercrombie Anderson and Mrs.
Med ora Blalock. Browning, de
ceased.
Mrs. S. B. Lofitis had arranged
a table representing a sea, with
boats sailing, the boats were white
as were the candies and the flow
ers. Mrs. L E. Cason lighted the
candles. Mrs. W. A. Moorhead
sang “Jesus Saviour, Pilot Me,”
and Mrs.* Cason dosed with prayer
A tribute entitled “Across the Bar”
was prepared and given by Mrs.
Loft is. It follows:
“Sunset and evening star, ane
one clear call for me, and may
•there be no mourning of the ber,
when I put out to see.” (Alfred
Tennyson).
The sun has set on the lives of
two of our beloved W. M. U. mem
bers in the past year of 1954. The
shadows are long and dark hi the
lives of loved ones left behind.
But they come to the sunset, and
the place of emberketion, and
crossed the ber between life
and life yonder, which all must
one day cross.
Yet, as they stood in the sunset
they could look back over a long
er road of life than is given to
many. This privilege of long days
was their’s because they knew and
kept such commandments as:
“Honor thy father and thy moth
er’” and “the fear of the Lord
prolongeth days.” Some where
along the road they met with
trials, maybe troubles, perchance
sorrow, but they were safe in the
knowledge that "whomsoever the
Lord loveth, he correcteth.”
Down that road they also had the
restful, tree-shaded coolness of
“Commit thy works unto the Lord
and He shall establish thy
thoughts.”
They grew to womanhood some
where along the way, perchance
at the half way turn, for the tetter
years slip by ao very rapidly. Their
womanhood, wifehood, and moth-
hood was secure in these words:
A virtuous woman is • crown to
her hiteband.” And they and the
king for « friend. Ob, yes, a king!
For, “He that loveth pureness of
heart for the grace of his tips, the
king shall be his friend.”
“But such a tide as moving
seems asleep
Too full for sound or goam.
When .that which drew from out
the boundless deep.
Turns again home.”
Children came to them, to bless
and enrich their road of hfe. Now,
standing to the sunset at the
road’s’ end they fulfill these
words:
“The just woman walketh in her
integrity, her children are blessed
after her.” '**-
Somewhere on the sunset slope
material things ceased to mean
much to them, they grew wiser in
the things that really count.
“The fear of the Lord is the be
ginning of knowledge,” and “By
humility and the fear of the Lord
are riches, and honor, and life.”
So, "Twilight and Evening bell,
and after that—the dark:
And may there be no sadness <of
farewell; when I embark.”
So, they reached the brink of
that dark river on which they must
sail with death, as the boatman.
The sun has set, the shadows len
gthened into darkness, yet they
are unafraid for, “He that keepeth
the commandment keepeth his
own soul,” and they know His in
visible hand will guide, “He keep-
eth the way of His saints.”
As the bar of embarkation is lift
ed, iwe like to thank that with
complete trust they stepped into
the waiting vessel and aadd, with
Paul, “For us to. live was Christ,
and to die te our gain.”
Then:
“For .though from out our bourne
of time and place
The flood may bear them ter
We hope they’ll see their Pilot
face to face
When they have crossed the bar.”
