Bethosda Presby 101tan church of this city, has made this edifice tlto cyno* sure of many tourists' eyes. The restoration process has completely brought back the qualntness and beauty that was designed by the critical eye and hand of Robert Mills, esquire, one of Americu s foremost architects of the period. The pulpit. pews , lamps and porches of the days of 1822 wore all restored. The lamps, replicas of those used over a hundred years ago ?bear the names of the elders and deacons who in the past served the church with loyally and outstanding devotion. . Practically ull of the fifty four pews, restored to the quaint box like affairs of a century ugo, were given as memorials to deceased members intimately associated with the church. The restoration of historic Bethosda church was begun April 1st, 1937 and first services In the restored building were held on Sunday, Decomber 19th, 1937. The restoration of the edifice has naturally been attended with a revival of interest and devotion on the part of the congregation. both In Its services and Its work and visitors from many sections of the country have expressed delight in its quaint beauty, dignity and charm. Camden traces its beginning to a settlement on the oast bank of the Wateree river In 1733. It was 1708 however, before the community was given the name of Camden, in honor Ix>rd Camden, then so admired by the colonists for his pleas in their behalf in the British parliament. In the main the first settlers in Camden were Irish Quakers but shortly after the Presbyteriaua pintle their appearance and as early as 1774 they were worshipping In a meeting house. Services were held In this frame building prior to and following the Revolutionary war. Ministers serving the congregation during those stirring days of early American history were Rev. John Dogue and Rev, Thomas Adams. ^ It was in 1805 the Presbyterians In Camden organized themselves as a congregation and called their church "Bethesda". Rev. Andrew Fllnn was the first pastor and assumed his duties January 1st, 1806. The congregation flourished and soon the necessity of a larger place of worship was realized. In 1820 work wan ntnrfttri nn whntis now the historic Bethesda Presbyterian church of Camden, and In 1822 the building was completed. The church structure is of a quaint most unusual design in that the steeple and outside porches and stairways are at the rear. The porches were landings for the stairs leading to the organ loft and to the gallery, one side of which was reserved for negro slaves and servants. A high pulpit stood well forward in the body of the church, which was entered by winding stairB on either side. The pews were high backed and fitted with doors that closed each family within its own compartment. The building with these quaint features stood unaltered until ahout the year 1890 when It was modernized, losing its qualntness. In the winter of 1936-36 an effort was begun by the congregation to recapture the beauty the church had lost In the process of modernization. Accordingly the building was rehovated and painted throughout. The pulpit, the porches, stairs, lamps and pews were all restored. A new organ, new carpets, new hymnals and a pulpit Bible were added. The pews and pulpit are in ivory with walnut trim, the walls In soft gray, blending in an exquisite manner with the carpet, the hymnals, pulpit, Bible and marker, all of which are In a shade of pale red. Rev. Andrew Fllnn was the pastor of the congregation upon its organization 1805. Rev. John Joyce was pastor at the time the present building whs erected. Other pastors of the church have been: Rev. B. R. Montgomery, Rev. George Reid, Rev. Samuel S. Davis; Rev. R. B. McLeod, Rev. John Wltherspoon, Rev. R. B. Campbell, Rev. S. H. Hay, Rev. A. M. Sale, Rev. W. W. Mills, Rev. T. M. McConnell, Rev. J. C. Rowan and Rev. Rdwln Muller. The longest pastorates in the history of the church were those of Rev. S. H. Hay who served from 1851 to 1879 and Rev. W. W. Mills who was pastor from 1884 to 1904. The present pastor is Rev. A. Douglas McArn. Bethesda Presbyterian church' stands in a beautifully landscaped area on DeKalb street, Just outside of the business district of Camden. In the center of a beautiful velvet like lawn is the fine grab? ite memorial monument to Baron tieKalb, heroic figure of America'* fight for' Independence. This famous German officer fought valiantly in behalf of the colonies and was mortally wounded at the Battle of Camden in 1781. In 18Z5 tne memorial in rront of Betheflda church was erected and the remains of the patriot placed beneath the massive stone slabs. General Lafayette officiated at the laying of the corner stone of this monument. The education unit of the church is located at the rear and is a well built brick structure with ample facilities for efficient Sunday school and church gatherings. So far as known there have been three churches of similar design restored to century old quaintneaa within the past several years. One is the Congregational church at Litchfield, Conn.; a second ia the Presbyterian church at Newbern, N. C., and the third the Bethesda chtfrch in Camden.

EUROPEAN HORSE8 AND DOQ8 COME TO AMERICA New York, Oct. 21.?Animal refugees from a man-made war, pedigreed horses and dogs valued by shippers at more than a million dollars, are finding a haven In America. Transportation officials said all records for such Incoming cargoes have been broken Binc'e the European war started. Horse and dog lovers have been shipping them here to save the animals from destruction or the breeds deterioration. On the American Trader, arriving October 18, were a valuable shipment of American-owned race hnrnns which Had been stranded In EUrope and thirty-five foxhounds from the famous North Cotswold hunting pack of Broadway, England. When W. W. B. Scott, master of this pack, was called up as a major In his Hussars Regiment, he sent this nucleus of his hounds as a "loan" to his friend. Mason Houghland, to preserve the breed. Ten couples will go to J. Simpson Dean, master of the Vic-Mead pack at Wilmington, Dei., and the remainder will be taken to Brentwood, Tenn., where Mr, Houghland is master of the Hlllsboro hounds. Horse and dog fanciers here have been alarmed by the movement in Europe to dispose of animals in order to economize on food materials. New all-time records have been set by the biggest American liners in bringing in pedigreed dogs with fiftysix arriving last week on the Washington and forty-eight on the last trip of the Manhattan. The Washington arrivals included five champion stock Bedlington terrier pups bought In England by P. V. O. Mitchell, U. S. Lineto executive. Twenty to thirty valuable horses have arrived on each westward voyage of the. four U. S. Line freighters especially equipped for this traffic since the war started. Many were American-owned animals which had been racing in Europe, Including some of Joseph WldeneTs best. Ten horses will be brought over soon for John Hay Whitney.
