William Henry Gist, lawyer, Visitors wtQ come from far and planter, legislator, and later wide when oar story is publi- governor of South Carolina, at ctand and many of our attrac- the time of secession. This sion and its the roee gardens for which it named, became a state park in 1900. A caretaker lives on the grounds and will be pleased to guide you on a tour of the Old structure. Rose Hill was built in 188&, and a few modifications were made over the years. The porch es were added in 1800. Some fea tures well worth noting are the mansion’s fanlights, impressive carved doors and the beautiful spiral staircase in the main hall. Actually, it is quite modest for a mansion. It is attractive from the outside, and the landscaped grounds are striking as yon ap proach up the long drive. There is much work still to be done, although some forniture and a few original painhngs belonging to the Gist family have been brought to the mansion. Such personal items as Mrs. Gist’s wedding dress, her sewing machine. Governor Gist’s leath er trunk, and the massive old four-poster bed can be seen in the upstairs master bedroom. To those interested in this important period of South Carolina history, it should be a challenge to re store Rose Hill to its original elegance. On the walls of Rose HU1 written documei the colorful and leading to secession On the right as you enter the main door of the mansion, you’ll find a copy of the original secession ordi nance^ dated December 80, 1800. It is signed by General David V. Jamison, delegate from wed, and presldmt of the vention.

They were brothers in Christ, but could not speak to each other. They Just pointed to their Bible and smiled. Then a happy thought occurred to the Indian. He exclaimed “Hallelujah!” The new Zealander, in delight, cried out, “Amen!” Those two words were the beginning to them of one language and one speech.^’, God is the Father of all men whether Jew or Gentile. As chil dren in the kingdom of the heavenly Father, we think of all men as brothers—in understanding, in sympathy, in good will, and in helpfulness. Our mission is to bring men together in love and worship around the cross, that we may be filled with love for the same Redeemer and have the same hope of heaven. All those who accept the lordship of Jesus Christ gain admittance to the same privileges and hopes. O Lard, help In recognised Ms fact their doors open during the day in order that worshipers may come in for a time of quiet and prayer. • x Many churches now have small chapels which are open during the day and often at night. Our Prayer Chapel at the Little Church on the Lane, of which I am senior pastor, is open and lighted. Its doors are never closed. Over the door in the main sanctuary of our Little Church on the Lane is this inscription from the Psalms, “Be still, and know that I am God.” A church symbolises the proa, ence of God the Infinite.' The cross on altars and church spires is a symbol of God's love and His gift of sahratfon through Jesus Christ to all men who win accept this gift. The week-end is the weak end for many, particularly for those who do not go to church. The Saturday night party all too often lands the participants in Jail, the hospital, and some times, in the graveyard. The church is ttw greatest safety factor in your community. Use It generously, and the week end will besome the strong end. Cross Hi News MRS. HAROLD AUSTIN. November 88 CLUB MEET The Mountville .
