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

The friends of Miss Alma Moore '
were shocked last Friday when it 1
way repoited that Dr. H. H. Burroughs
had been called over the telephone
by a message stating that the
young lady had fainted while a small
cut 011 her finger was being dressed,
and falling into the fire had been
burned to death. This is about the i
subtance of the message as it was
giyen to Dr. Burroughs, and he went \
in haste. t
Her injuries did not turn out to c
be as severe as was thought. She
was nt the heme of Mr. and Mrs. A.
E. Wait. She had cut a small gash
in the end of her thumb, and Mrs. .
Wait wa> attending to it. Aa some 1
blood appeared Miss Moore fainted
and before she could be reached fell j
into the fire place. She was only ^
slightly injured on the cheek and e
the side of the neck by the fire, ar.d
she came into town on Saturday
morning and was stopping at the "
residence of Dr. Burroughs, a rela- v
tive of the family. v
The cut on the hand was not large

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. The bereaved family have the
sympathy of the entire neighborhood
and may we all through our
trouble be drawn closer and closer
tc^Christ.
His Cousin,
Everett Watts.
