Association. of THE 100th ANNIVERSARY It 1. th© First Meetltij; of tbe Centennial, As th© Association First Met In 1800—A Synopsis of th© Work Done up to Yes terday Afternoon, Tho first meeting of the Centennial of the Broad River Association was held Wednesday morning in the First Baptist church. After an(1 Broad Iii ^ or have not re •'* sponded to the roll call. Under the resolution opening hymn, “Stand up, stand up for Jesus,” the meeting was called to order by the Rev. J. D. Bailey, of. Cowpens. In a short talk Mr. Bailey called attention to tbe fact that the association first met in the year 1800, making this the one hun dredth and first anniversary of the body, and that we should be espec ially grateful that we are allowed to celebrate its centennial. The next prayer} was offered by Dr. R. W. Sanders, of Greenville, and tbe intro ductory sermon was preached by the Rev. F. C. Hickson. The sermon which Mr. Hickson had prepared for the occasion was upon temperance, as there was to be a mass meeting in the evening in the interest of temper ance. Mr. Hickson requested that he be allowed to deliver bis sermon in the evening at the temperance meeting, but there were many pres ent at tbe morning session who could not attend tbe evening exercises, so Mr. Hickson preached on the “Lord’s day.” The text was taken from the tenth verse of the first chapter of Revelations, “I was in the spirit on the Lord’s day.” The points empha sized by Mr. Hick ion were the au thority for observing the Lord’s day; the manner or spirit in which it should be observed, and the benefits to be derived from the observation of it. There was a prayer by the Rev. Mr. Bailey, after which the names of the churches were called and a list of the delegates from each church in the Association was handed in to the clerk, Mr. 8. M. Bagwell. The meeting then adjourned until the afternoon session at 2 :30 o’clock. The afternoon meeting of the Asso ciation was opened with a prayer by Mr. White. The special order of the afternoon was the organization of the Association. The present offi cers, the Rev. J. D. Bailey, modera tor; 8. M. Bagwell, clerk; and G. P. Hamrick, treasurer, were re-elected by Mr. White casting the ballot of the meeting for these incumbeuts. Mr. Bailey returned thanks for the confidence again reposed in him by electing him for the seventh time as presiding officer of the Association, and spoke of the especial honor he deemed it to presice over the Associ ation during this the one hundredth anniversary of this body. Under miscellaneous business, there was the announcement of the committee on religious exercises. A committee consisting of F. C. Hick son. W. L. Goudelock, W. C. Allen, R. 0. 8ams and A. M. Ross was ap pointed to investigate the credentials of the Mountain View church, there being more than one delegation from that church. Mr. W. T. Tate, of the Saluda Association, and Mr. H- 8. Plemmons, of the Abbeville Associa tion, were present at the meeting and were extended a welcome to the meeting. Mr. Bagwell expressed thanks for some copies of old minutes presented by a member of the Gilead church. The report on temperance was sub mitted by Mr. L. B. Davis; the re port was adopted by the Association, but the subject was not discussed aa it was deemed wisest to postpone the discussion until evening, when the mass meeting in the interest of tem perance is to be held. The report and discussion on edu- ucation was postponed until the sub ject of home missions was discussed. The report was not ready to be submitted but the question was dis cussed by the Revs. G. P. Hamrick, Clary, Ross, Hickson, Teal and Tate. Tbe importance of this great jexuik was impressed upon the people and of the good that can be done to the heathen by giving tbe gospel to those around us and thus making more la borers. After the announcement of commit tees and the programmes for the even ing meetings, the session closed its proceedings, the closing prayer being led by Mr. Clary. COMMITTEES. Finance—R. E. Porter, T.

F. C. Hickson was expected to preach a sermon specially prepared for the occasion, but lie did not ap pear. Short talks were made on the subject, however, by several of the ministers present, and upon the whole of the meeting was consid ered a good one, and the people ex pressed themselves us being much benc-fitted by it. The Association convened yester day morning at 9:80. The minutes of the proceeding meetings were read and confirmed, the roll was called and corrected. Delegates from Coolie CATARRH: FORERUNNER OF CONSUMPTION. of yesterday the visiting brethren were invited to sewt# with the Association. Dr. A. P.

The report had not been arranged as the committee had not been informed of this work; the subject was' dis cussed for thirty minutes, and the rendering of the report was deferred. Dr. Montague spoke to the Baptists of their Baptist Institutions, that un less they were supported by the de nomination to which they belong they are fore-ordained to failure, even though they have tho finest of facul ties, handsome thoroughly equipped buildings. He exhorted the people to remember their colleges in their prayers, and give to the work of their means. Col. Patrick made a talk in behalf of education,laying especial emphasis upon the importance of keeping from girls and boys the poor class of litera ture which has at this time such ex tensive circulation. At the request of Dr. Montague, Mr. Hickson made a short talk in behalf of his alma mater, Furman University. The report on Stale Missions was not ready to be rendered and was con sequently deferred. Tulas on State Missions and Coi- portage were made by Dr. Hatcher, of the American Baptist Publication Society; Mr. A. McA. Pittman, of the Soutli Carolina Baptist; Dr. E. E. Bomar and Dr. T. M. Bailey.

At 07 White Hall Street, At lanta, Ga., the Southern Baptist Publication Society has the most beautiful book store in the south. Mr. A. McA. Pittman spoke of the satisfactory and advantageous deal ings the South Carolina Baptist has had with this society, and of the won derful work it is doing. Dr. Bomar made a plea to parents that their boys and girls have Bibles o? their own to mark, to keep and to love. Dr. Bailey told of the work of the State Mission Board. lie has been an enthusiastic worki r on this board for fifteen years; during this rime 107 stations have been formed and 1.3,000 people gathered into the churcm-s. The board bus eighty m.ssionaries in the field. Sixty--.* ven stations are in the country, forty in towns and twen ty-six in factory towns. Dr. Baney made an appeal tolhe people for the evangelization of our own Strte, and the delegates agreed to make an effort to raise a sum for State Missions this year to average eigiit cents per m> m- ber. A contribution amounting to $1.3 00 was made for this worit during the morning session. Mr Robertson stated to-the Associ ation that Mr. II. G. Gaffney hud in his possession at the lime of his death a small contribution handed to him sometime htforo, which amount was tujped ov#r by hh fumilv to .Mr Bailey for State Missions, ns was also the money in his private purse, v . The committee appointed to exam ine tlje credentials of the Mountain V’iew delegates stated that Messrs. Gossett and Covcny were found by tho committee to be accredited delegates to the Association. After the an nouncements the meeting adjourned until i :!l<) p. m. The afternoon session on Thursday was called to order by Mr. A. I>. Da vidson, acting in the absense of Rev. J. D. Bailey^ The first subject under discussion was Woman’s Work, which was sub stituted in the place of the Orphan age. The first talk on this subject was made by the Rev. T. H. Plem mons, who spoke of the great good done in these days by the women of oar churches. The influence of a wide-awake Womans’ Missionary So ciety upon tho entire church and com munity. In our century woman’s work in the church Is as great as the mission of men. The Revs. B. P. Robertson and F. 0. Hickson also made short talks on this subject, tell ing of the good done by the missionary societies in distributing tracta and religious literature, of the necessity, for tho conversion of tiie heathen wo men that our women enter the mis sion field, as tho customs of many of these countries dehors women from coming to the chapel to hear tho Gospel, so that unless our women carry the truth to their heathen sis ters they must forever perish. Dr. E. E. Bomar paid a pleasant tribute to Woman’s Work saving tho work isaboidour praise, but nofda our sympathy, our help, our encourage ment. t/f the $119 000 contributed in the South for Foreign Missions last year $81,000 was given by tho Women’s Misnionary Unions. In South Carolina more than $800 was given by those societies. Tbe •*v Few realize what a deep-seated, obstinate disease Catarrh is, regarding it as a simple inflammation of the nose and throat, little or no attention is given it. lint, however insignificant it may seem at first, it is serious and far-reaching in its results. The foul secretions entering the circulation poison the entire system. Tl»e stomach, kidneys — in fact all the organs— feel the effect of this catarrhal poison, ami when the lungs are reached its progress is rapid and destructive, and finally ends in consumption. It frequently happens that the senses of hearing and smell are in part or entirely lost, the soft txmesof e - ^ l0 ,lose eaten into and destroyed, causing intense suffering and greatly disfiguring the face. While sprays, jvy. f jjp washes and salves may give temporary relief, no permanent benefit can be expected from such treatment. arigeii is i mnstitutssnai on mmb disease, * ~ and far beyond the reach of mere local remedies. Tho 'i who rely upon them for a cure lose valuable time, meet with disap- poiutment and allow th'. disease to lake firmer hold. Only areal blood remedy can reach this troublesome and dangerous disease: S. S. B cures Catarrh because it first cleanses and builds up the blood, purifies it, makes it rich and healthy, stimulates and puts new life into the sluggish worn-out organs, and thus relieves the system of all poisonous accumulations. Mrs. Josfphine Polhill, Qf Due West; S.

Of the ninety-six mis sions in the Foreign Mission Hoard, over fifty are women and many have been long on the field. Let us give these societies our hearty co-opera tion. Dr. Sanders expressed the gratitude cf the Home Mission Board for the ! work of the women in this depart-; meat. Tiie contributions of these so- : cieties to the Horne Mission Board last I year amounted to $18 11 1 Blin cash ! contributions, and $27,189 09 in box valuation, amounting to more than 1 $1.3 000 00. Two women havo set no ble examples, one giving during her life $i OOO.O'J through the Woman’s ; Union, another at her death leaving a valuable estate for the work. The next subject di.-vu.-std was the Connie Maxwell Orphanage. The Rev. A. T. Jamison, superintendent, told of the work of the orphanage. In the institution now there are 120 children. There are five homes for the protection of these boys and girls, three built, by the Baptist denomina tion and two by individuals The work done in this institution is for the mind and the heart of the children, not merely to feed the body and to house them, not to care for them as cheaply as possible, but the obj et is to train them to adorn socety and be blessings to the communities in which they livThe expejjseft of the insti tution are ub >ut $700 per month.

Churches, Sunday schools atid individuals carry on this work. 'J lie expenses of keeping one child is about $0 par month. At the meeting in July the board instructed that an additional toom he erected to the school building in order that a new teacher might come in and en large the course of study ; that g rls might be trained in stenography, typewriting and book-keeping; that a printing press ha brought in and the boys instructed in this line. On this account there are extra expenses for this month of August. I iay the work before you and ask your assis tance just now.
