C., April 28.--Pied mont Presbytery convened here on Tuesday last at 8.30 o'clock. The open ing sermon was preached by Rev. P. S. McChesney, of Anderson. Rev. W. T. Hollinsworth was elected moderator, and W. H. Mills, stated clerk, and W. P. Nesbit reading clerk. Ten ministers and 22 elders were present. The reports from the various colleges. were encouraging, but owing to the draft the attendance has fallen off. Rev. C. L. Stewart and W. C. Smith of Easley, were elected trustees of Da vidson; Rev. J. S. Foster, Dr. W. A. Sheldon of Liberty, and T, Peden An derson of Westminister, of the Presby terian College of South Carolina; Rev. P. S. McChesney and M. M. Mattison of Anderson, of Chicora College. Liberty, Walhalla, Seneca, Townville and Good hope reported that the sala ries of their pastors had been increased. In regard to the $3,000,000 drive for benevolences, a helpful conference was held conducted by the manager, Hon. T. Frank Watkins of Anderson. Eighteen churches reached their quota in full, two over-subscribed, 11 made an increase of over 50 per cent and none failed to put on the canvass. The movement was unanimously endorsed, and the manager appointed to continue the campaign. 'The consideration of Presbyterian home missions was in earnest and en couragiug. The receipts were the largest in the history of the Presbytery and every church is preparing for an evangelistic meeting during the year. To put pastors at camps was enthu siastically endorsed, and most of the churches reported that their quota had been raised. This work has been done in a large measure by the women's societies. A patriotic resolution introduced by Rev. 1. E. Wallace was heartily en dorsed. There are no slackers among Presbyterian preachers and elders. A delightful visit was made to the Old Stone church, one of the oldest churches m this part of the state. Dr. Robert Adams told the story of the founding of the church and pointed out the many historic graves. Rev. .John C. Bailey, of Liberty, and Elder J. P. Stribling, of Richland, were chosen as commissioners to the Gen eral Assembly. Five ministers have recently been called to fields in this Presbytery: Rev. P. S. McChesney to Anderson Central, Dr. .J. S. Foster to Anderson First, Rev. Albert E. Wallace to Piedmont, Rev. W. Emmet I)avis to Clemson Col lege, and Rev. A. N. Littlejohn to Westminister. The next meeting will he held at Iva. Good Year A t Six Mile Academy Dr. Z. TI. Cody in Baptist Courier. The joy of last wveek was the privi lege of being with the Six Mile Acad emy for a part of the time (luring their commencement exercises. It is always good to be wvith Principal Garner andl he is at. his best on Six Mile hill. lie told us that the school had an enroll ment (luring the year of eighty-seven. The graduating (lass had four- mem bers, Roy Garrett, Sallie May Brissey, Ressie Kelley and F'loridle Prince. The writer had the pleasure of listening to the oratorical contest on Wednesday which was of high order. Religion has the chief place in this Rehool aseit has the chief place in P'rincip~al Garner's honest and steady heart. There were eight graduates in the normal training class. We could not be with them at the closing exercises on Friday, at which time Rev. J1. C. Owens wvas to have delivered the literary address. We had to leave on Thursday after noon, but camne away thankful for the absolutely genuine work that this school is docing and also wondering how it could do such a work on the meagre income that is its portion. The board last year was only $8.50 a month and some of the studlents were carried gratis. From all that we could gather we have a notion that when a worthy boy or girl runs out of money Professor Garner himself foots the bill, lHe (does not talk about the matter and it is a little dlilicult to get at the facta. But the boy or girl dloes not go home. Some of thecse goodl days our people wvill stand by such wvork~ as this as they stand by an orphanage work or foreign missions. Now after all t his wa written wve Iearni that P rot her (;arner offeredl his ri nation on Frida:. and1( insists that it heP acceptedl. Patriotic Meeting Held at Liberty #} Sunday morning, April 21st, a most impressive service was held at the First Baptist church when a service flag in honor of the boys who have gone to the colors from the congregation, was pre sented to the church. The entire ser vice was of a distinctly patriotic nature. The choir rendered several beautiful patriotic selections. Lieut. John McNaughton of the 117th Regiment of Infantry, Camp Sevier, delivered a patriotic and inspiring ad dress on ")uty and Service." Lieut. I McNaughton .is a verypleasing speaker. He said that Duty and Service are syn nonomous; he urged every one to do his or her duty relative to the matter of helping to win the war. "There are only two classes," said he; "those who are doing all they can to help in the way of buying Liberty Loan Bonds; War Stamps, knitting, rolling bandages, supporting the Red Cross, conserving food, etc.; the other class are those who are shirkers and slackers. The second class are not worthy to be called Amer icans and should be relieved of the ti tle." He said that we should have no patience with the expression "I did not rear my boy to be a soldier." We are not fighting for material things but to relieve the oppressed and for the good of mankind. Mr. T. A. Gary read the llonor Roll after which Prof. B. C. Givens presen ted the service flag to the church in be half of the Sunday School. Prof. Giv ens' remarks were very fitting and well chosen, lie spoke of the the signifi cance of the three different colors-the red, white and blue. ''he red says: "Be brave;" the white says" be pure;" tha blue says "be true." The ten stars in the service flag represent the following boys and are constant remin ders that they should be kept in the hearts of the church members and re membered in their prayers: Capt. Wm. Joe Hunter, Camp Jackson; Duard Ceo. O'I)ell, Chattanooga, Tenn.; L. Allison Cantrell, Camp Sevier: A. Joe Brown,' John S. Wilson. Jr., Camp Jackson; Arthur D. Davis, Newark, N. J.; Tom J. O'Dell,, Camp Sevier; DeWitt ''. I)avis, Schofield Barracks, 11. 1. ; Sam E. Skelton, Chattanooga, Tenn ; Henry E. Garrett, Philadelphia, Pa. Rey. 11. K. Williams, the pastor of the church, received the flag and spoke of the church's duty relative to the matt' r of praying for those who have gone out to fight in the defense of their country. Mr. Williams related the fol lowing incident which occurred in China some years ago in Shanghai. At a fourth of .July dinner the English Con sul, toasting the British flag, said: 'Here is to the Union Jack-the flag of flags- the flag that has floated on every continent and~ on every sea for a thous andl years -- the flag on which the sun never sets."'I'The Americans present wondered if they could match such strong sentiment. Eli Perkins, the American humorist,, was asked to toast the Stars andl Stripes, and looking di rectly in the faces of his English friends he said: "Here is to) the Stars and Stripes of the New Republic; when the setting sun lights up her stars in Alas ka, the rising sun salutes her on the rock-bound coast of Maine. It is the flag of Liberty, never lowered to any foe, and the only flag that has whipped. the flag on which the sun never sets." Well may the words of Lloyd George set upon the conscience of the Germans when he said, "America has never been defeated." Mr. Williams stressed the need of our buying Liberty Bonds, and sp)oke of~ the ihmmnense wealth of the United States. From the time of Geo. Washington up until Congress declared a state of war April 6th a year ago, all the money expended for the mainten ance of the government is twenty-six billions of dollars; hut already since a state of war has been dleclared Congress has appropriated more than that amount for the prosecution of the war. We have men and natural resources, and, by the Grace of God, we are going to win this war together with the Allies." 'The Boy Scouts with their Scout Mas ter, W. S. Richbourg, attended in a body; also special mention is made of the Confederate Veterans present. ~Juian's Store Convention Tlhe D~emocratic Club met at ,Julian's store Saturday afternoon, April 27.
