THE BAPTISTS
ARE IN GAFFNEY.
The Centennial Meeting
the B. R. 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.

day evening In tbe interest of tem
perance; but owing to the storm tho
attendance was not very large. Rev.
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

whole of the meeting was consid
ered a good one, and the people ex
pressed themselves us being much
benc-fitted by it.

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

done in these days by the women of
oar churches. The influence of a

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

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. C., writes: “ I had Catarrh, which became so deep
scfitri’ that I \. iy entirety deal in one tar, and all inside of tny nose, including pait of tlie none,
' ‘■1 »: tic i off. V.'lien the disease had gone this far the physician gave uic up ; s incurable. I

scat of th ' (iisl 'i L *. and after a few weeks’ treatment I was entirely cured, and for more than
seven years have had no sigtppf the disease.”

women furnish largely the piety of
our eiiarches. 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.
Tois money must be raised by volun
tary c r.; ributi ms by churches and in
dividuals. About ifnrty of the chii-
u’ren ari supported by the individual
support fur.d. 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.
Many of the pastors and delegates
promised for their churches contribu
tions in money and barrels of Hour,
for which Mr. Jamison expressed
thanks. A cash contribution was
taken up for the orphanage in the af
ternoon. j
After disposing of the rnisccilane- !
ous business, the meeting closed for !
the afternoon.
