CONWAY, S.C., THURS KHIHB At the New Couway Methodist Church Last Sunday BY BISHOP BENNY Attended by One of the Largest Crowds Ever Seated in the Edifice Since its Completion Several YearA Ago,--Many Visitors Present to Witness it. Last Sunday morning mid tbe waving of ferns, hot bouse flowers and evergreens, the new Methodist church of Conway was dedicated to the great Master, wiih fitting ceremonies in accordance with the dicipline of the church. Bishop Collins Denny of Baltimore, one of the foremost divines of the church, loved and venerated by thousands of loyal Methodists everywhere, was present and preached the dedicatory sermon. Presiding Elder, the Rev. R. HerJones, was here and had general charge of the services. In the front middle pews of the church sat the church officials, also many former pastors oi the Methodist church in Conway, among them the Rev. Mr, Ed wards who was the pastor of the church at the time the movement for the new church was launched, and under whose guidance the congregation put forth the efforts necessary to raise the funds for this thirteen thousand dollar structure. The sermon of Bishop Donny was ono of great strength, deep thought and consecration. At time1 it was full of feeling and stirred tuo emotions. The services began at 11 oclock and the congregation sat under the spell of his voice until nearly one. Not many times in the history of Methcdism in this section^ has a bishop visited the county No visit by a bishop in the future can possibly be more appreciated and enjoyed than this was by the congregation and the people generally. The services in the other churches of the town were suspended on acceunt of the dedication. After the sermon was oyer, Dr. E. O, Watson of the Horry Industrial School went forward to the chancel and in eloquent language presented to Bishop Denny, a copy of the dicipline formerly owned by Bishop Wightmao, and which was furnished to Rey. A. D. Betts, the pastor of the church, for that purpose, by a daughter of Bishop Wightman. After this Dr, E Norton presented the church according to the form laid down ia the dicipline. and a little later the prayer was offered by Bishop Denny, The officers of the church all stood in a semi-circle about the alter while the dedication was taking place. All of the seats in the gallery as well as the others, and the aisles had rows of chairs along the side in order to seat all of the people. One of the attractions that deserves mention was the decoration of the church for the occasion. The ladies of the church worked hard on this and the result was very beautiful. The carpet which was purchased recently was laid on the floors in time for this occasion. The carpet adds much to the already utuo appearance ot ine interior. There were visitors here from far and wide. Quite a number came from Georgetown on a steamer, Many people from the country were here. Owing to the efforts of the pastor, whose work for the church has over been zealous and constant, assisted by others such as Mr. H. W. Ambrose, A. E Goldtinch, and many others whose names are not jat ^ now reoalled, the funds to pay c IT tae debt against the new church were provided since the new year came in. The congregation is very prond of this achievement. The following short sketch of the life of Bishop Denny was recently furnished by Bey. A. D. Betts: Bishop Collins Denny. D. D., L. L. D., was born May 28, 1851 at Winchester, Va. He was converted and joined the Methodist Church when 12 years old. He was educated at Princeton University and University of Va., receiving three scholastic degrees. Ho is an accomplished scholar. For two years and a half after graduating in law he practiced in legal profession. Then yielding to the call to preach he was admitted into the Baltimore Conference in 1880. In the following year he was happily married to Miss Lucy Chase Chapman of Baltimore, Md. During the nrst few years Mr, Denny saw hard servico ou weak country circuits, but his distinguished ability as a preacher I soon brought him to the large city] churches. In 1891 he was elected / ?

On Saturday April 4v,b, the death angel visited the home of Mr. and Mrs. J M. Thompson and t jok away their little son, Joseph Arthur. He was born July 28th, 1903, and jdied April 4th, 1914, at the age of 110 years, 8 months and 6 days. The body was laid to rest at the Lee burying ground on Suuduy, The Rev \V. D. Stevens, pastor of the Steritt Swamp Baptist church pleached the funeral at the grave. His text was "The damsel is not dead but sleepeth." It. is hard to stand by and s$o our loved ones pass on to the great beyonl, but we should at ail times remember to put our faith and trust into Him who doeth all things well. We must try to say as Job said in his afflictions, 4,The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away, bleseed be the name of the Lord." Arthur was sick about two weeks with the acute rheumatism and suffered intensely before he died but we believe he left this world of pain, for one of joy.
