All MailOrders Filled Promptly 9 The Pickens Baptist Association The Pickens Baptist association met with the church at Pleasant Grove on Wednesday, October 11. The appointee for the introductory sermon being ab sent, the association requested Rev. H. K. Williams of Easley to preach, and did so to the delight and edification of the people. The association was organ ized by the election of Rev. J. E. Foster moderator and J. A. Robinson clerk. The good people of Pleasant Grove cov ered themselves with glory for their unbounded hospitality. Such a dinner t as they served you seldom see. In the afternoon several good reports were read and discussed by the breth ren. Rev. W. E. Nelson reported on state of religion, Prof. R. T. Hallum on christian education, and Prof. J. A. Rob Inson on religious periodicals. Capt. J. A. Griffin, Hon. Joe Medlin, C. E. Rob inson, Rev. H. K. Williams, Rev. W.E. Nelson, Prof. J. A. Robinson, Prof. R. T. Hallum and Rev. D. W. liott all r made talks in the afternoon. Thursday was the most largely at- E tended session of the association. Dr. David M. Ramsay of Greenville preached an able sermon in the morning. In the afternoon the following representatives from Six Mile academy made talks: E Rev. Mr. Garner, principal, and Charles Atkinson and Thomas E. Durham, stu dents. Fifty dollars in cash and sub- t scription was raised for the academy. t Three wagons loaded with Six -Mile stu- t dents attended the association Thursday a and they sang several songs. They lef t in the afternoon for Table Rock, where ( they enjoyed an, outing until Saturday. a R. A Hester made the report on aged , ministers, and a report on the W. M. U. t work was made by Mrs. J. M. Stewart, which was very commendable. Dr. Ramsay made a talk on behalf of chris- C tian education, which was interesting a and was well received. - Rev. Ben G. I Field made a favorable report on 'tem perance, and the session adjourned for c the day. . The churches of the Pickens associa tion ought to insist on their pastors at- t tending meetings of the association. The s first day at Pleasant Grove only one pas tor in the entire association was pres- I ent, and he was the moderator, Rev. J. 1 E. Foster. What can an army do when the generals and captains are all in the tents or at home on furloughs? Pleasant Grove was a pleasant and picturesque place for the Pickens as scciation to meet. A beautiful church 1 building situated on top of a high hill, in the Land of the Sky commanding a view of Table Rock and Casar's Head hetel, makes delightful scenery. It was an inspiration to be among these hills and have fellowship with the most hospitable people on earth. The next association goes to Griffin church.
