THE BAPTISTS
WEREINJ5AFFNEY.
The Centennial Meeting of
the B. R. Association.
THE 100th ANNIVERSARY.
It W»n the First Meeting of the Centcn-
nl'il, as the Assoelntlou First Met in 1800
—A Synopsis of the Work Done Friday
and Saturday.
Thursday afternoon at four o’clocit
a meeting of the ladies was held in
the Sunday school room of the First
Baptist church. Mrs. 13. P. Robert
son conducted the opening exercises
of song and prayer.
Miss Lila C. Budd, vice president
of the Broad River Association,called
for reports from the churches. It
was not generally known that the
meeting was to be held at this time
and only a few societies were repre
sented. Miss Budd made a short
talk to the ladies in the interest of
the Griffith Memorial Chapel which
Mrs. Entzminger, the daughter of
our lamented and beloved Dr. Grif
fith, wishes erected in Brazil to her
father's memory. The Baptists where
Mrs. Entzminger is, have no suitable
home for worship and our mission
ary’s heart is very much interested
in the creation of this chapel. The
amount yet to be raised for this
purpose is $15.00.
At the suggestion of Mr. Robertson
it was decided that a contribution
should be taken during the evening
service to be sent to Mrs. Entzminger
for the Griffith Memorial Chapel.
Dr. E. E. Bomar made an address
to the meeting on what woman can
do in this great mission cause, speak
ing of the magnitude of the work
of missions, of the part .that woman
has done is doing and can do in the
work. Miss Budd expressed to Mr.
Bomar the thanks of the society,
after which the meeting was closed
with a prayer.
FRIDAY MORNING.
The Centennial Celebration of the
Broad River Association was opened
Friday morning with devotional ser
vices. Mr. J. D. Bailey had charge
of the celebration services, and made
an introductory talk of the growth
of the assocition. One hundred
years ago the country was to a large
extent an unexplored wilderness, all
that we see and know’ today is duo to
the foundation work of our ancestors
a century ago. It was their’s to
organize, our’s to develop; our’s the
easier task.
Invitations had been sent to every
church that had at any time been a
member of this association to send a
representative to this celebration.
Quite a number of churches responded
to the invitation and welcome was
extended to them by the moderator.
A paper on the Pioneer Ministry
of the Broad River Association was
read by Rev. J. D. Bailey. This
paper gave an historical sketch of
the association from its earliest days,
mentioning many of the important
workers and churches, and the
durability and permanence of their
work. Neither Mr. Dixon nor Mr.
Justice, who were appointed as prin
cipal and alternate to deliver the
historical address, was present and
the hour was occupied by general
talks relative to the subject under
discussion. Among those who spoke
were Drs. Hatcher and Bomar and
Mr. Pittman. A number of copies of
old minutes were presented to the
association by Mrs. Stacy. It is
desired that a copy of the minutes of
each meeting of the association shall
be obtained, so these were gratefully
received. Col. Patrick, iu a short
talk of some of the important charac
ters in our denomination paid an
especial tribute to Dr. Curtis, the
founder of Limestone College. The
closing talk was made by Mr. Coggin,
representative from New Prospect
church.
Adjournment.
FRIDAY AFTERNOON.
On Friday afternoon the centennial
service was continued. The meeting
was opened with song and prayer.
A paper on the Pioneer churches
was read by Rev. A. D. Davidson.
This was an instructive and interest
ing sketch of the churches of our
fathers.
This paper was followed by an ex
cellent one by Mr. 8. M. Bagwell on
the churches and ministry of the day
as compared with those of the early
part of the century.
Mr. Hickson was on the program
for a paper on the “History of Mis
sions’’ in the Broad River Associa
tion from its organization to its first
centennial in 19'J0. The writer was
not present but his paper was read
to the assembly by the clerk.
The thanks of the Association were
expressed by vote to the four gentle
men who had gotten up the historical
sketches that were read during the
morning and afternoon sessions.
The reading of the papers was fol
lowed by general short talks by
Messrs. Campbell, Hamrick and
Plemmons.
Rev. Tate after listening to Mr.
Piemmon’s excellent talk, in which
he pictured to the minds of the peo
ple bomo of the proceedings in the
second centennial celebration, and
made this.promise, “If I am so fortUT
nate as to attend the second centen
nial 1 will tell you all about it.”—
suggested that Mr. Plemmon's
prophecy be recorded so his name at
least would appear in that celebra
tion. This suggestion was followed
by an interesting talk from Mr. Tate.
We hope his name also will appear
in the next centennial.
The meeting was closed with u
prayer by the Rev. L. C. Ezell.
Friday evening a missionary muss
meeting was held. Addreauos were
made by Rev. .1. 1). Bailuy and
others, and Dr. E. E Bomar, of
Richmond, Va , made an appeal for
China and for Rv>v. W. E. Crocker,
wiio is there as a mi-sionury.
SATURDAY MORNING.
The opening exerciser of song and
prayer were conducted by the Rev.
G. P. Hamrick. There were short
talks from a number of the delegates
and visitors to the Association ex
pressing the pleasure and benefit de
rived from their attendance upon the
meetings.
Then followed the report of the
executive board. The churches w«re
urged to more activity, to regular
and systen a'ic contributions. Mr.
W. B. Moss has been employed to
labor at Nazareth and other places
of his selection. Rev. J. 1). Bailey
and Rev. Mr. Ezell gave imormation j
in short talks about the places in J
this Association destitute of the Gos- i
pel.
The committee on the Berea j
church of Blacksburg recommended j
that the church be received as a j
member of this Association upon the
delivery of the letter of dismissal
from the York County Association
for which they have made applica
tion.
The committee on the new. execu
tive board recommended that the old
board be continued.
The time and place of next meeting,
the committee recommend that the
time for holding (he meeting shall
be the Thursday before the fourth!
•Sunday in August, the place, Grassy
Pond church. Introductory sermon
to be preached by Rtv. Mr. Roes; J.
M. Bridges alternate. Missionary
sermon by R. J. Tate, alternate Teal.
The reports on State Missions,
Sunday School Unions, State of re
ligion in this Association, and finance
were made and adopted.
At the suggestion of Mr. J. I).
Bailey the missionary sermon was
disposed of by vote of the Associa
tion. A collection was taken for
missions, however. The report on
Sunday schools was rendered, die-
cussed by several present and
adopted.
The committee on historical
sketches reported that twenty-six of
the churches had handed in their
sketches, but there were a number
not yet presented.
The thanks of the associtaion were
tendered to the citizens of Gaffney
and the members of the First Baptist
church for the hospitality met with,
and to Mr. J. A. Carroll for the
excursion to Limestono.
After a short talk from Mr. Robert
son expressing the pleasure it has
been to have had the association
meet with us, the meeting closed
with a prayer by Mr. Ezell.
Ami thus ended the centennial
meeting—the one hundredth anni
versary of the Broad River Baptist
Association. This meeting brought
a goodly number of ministers and
visiting brethren to Gaffney, and
Gaffney was glad to have them within
her borders and to extend to them her
hospitality.
Most of the visitors left for their
homes on Saturday, but some of them
were so pleased with our city that
they remained over Sunday and
attended worship at the different
churches. The association will meet
next year with the Grassy Pond
church.

from your Lithia Spring in South (’aroiina so

Diabetes, with all its different attendants,
that I want to add ray testimonu) to the
many you already have. The patient I refer
to lias used the water freely at home for
scarcely a month now, with more beneficial
results tlian from months spent at different
lithia springs in different parts of the United
States, besides long continued use of the
same waters at borne. Other of my patients
and friends are now using the same with best
results. I cordially recommend it to all suff
ering from similar diseases.
