The Country Church, on Sunday
and on Saturday before was one of
the main rallying points for the
people, in those old days. The good
and bad, intelligent and ignorant,
rich and poor, white and black, all
seemed to make much attending the
place of meeting, even though some
might not go inside to' take part or
listen to the preaching. and the de
votional services. Young men, I ob
served as a boy, would sometines re
main outside, sitting about in bug
gies, or huddled under the trees in
summer time and engaged in chatting.
Sometimes boys and others would
sit a while in church and then walk
out. thus causing some confusion and
distraction. Occasionally slight mis
behavior would occur in church; but
usually there was silrnt and good at
tention. I recall that one night at
ML Olivet church during a series of
meetings, a squad of young men who
HarauraU
indeed, if not unknown. I sometnrLs
feel to say: “Why should it have
been so then, but not now?”
All classes of people congregated at
the churches, and especially so at the
annual services or protracted meet
ings, in summer or Autumn when the
weather was usually pleasant. It
was a rare exception to see a stove or
other^ means of heating, in any of
the country churche*. " Tallow condles
(often on wooden candle sticks—
blocks with auger-holes) were com
monly used for lighting. In the pul
pit, a nice metallic candlestick might
be used. Kerosine oil, gas and lece-
tricity would have seemed a marvel!
Congregational singing was the cus
tom, no organ or piano or , other
musical instrument being employed.
I remember .the sensation at ML
Olivet, when the “melodion” was first
introduced. An old slave of one of
my uncles, on first hearing it played,
said: “It makes me feel like danc
in’.** That remind* me of an old
gentleman—greatly oppoaed to in
strumental music in Church—who gt-

The Woman’s Mass Meeting for
Barnwell County, which was planned
and engineered by the members of
Barnwell’s Uplift Association, waa
held/at the Court House on last Fri
day afternoon at three o’clock. It
was largely attended, and was a most
enthusiastic and profitable meeting
Many out of town visitors were pres
ent and each and every one seemed
pleased to learn of the high aims and
noble plans as have already been set
forth by the Uplift Association.
Reports from committees from the
surrounding towns showed that an in
tense interest was being manifested
and that it was the desire of those
present that similar organizations be
formed throughout the county. *.
Each speaker had her subject well
in hamf s and splendid addresses were
made. The thought emphasized was
enforcement of the prohibition lavf.
It was shown that long experience In
the inforcement of this law was a
matter of arousing public opinion.

than a whole chapter of Scripture as

everybody. If two preachers were

ways when one of them had finished
his sermon, the other would “follow**
