The usual divine sevice pro
ceded the sermon and the saora

impressive.
After all' the communicants had

'The Conference, under the lead.
ership of the Bishop, has made
astounding progress during the
two days' session, every, phase of
its business being dispatched with
order and promptness.
THE NEWS AND HEuAL takes
this eccasion. of thanking the
secretary, Rev. H. F. Chreitaberg,
and his essistant, Rev.,J. C. Kilgo,
for 'valuable aid in giving the
paper proper facilities for report
ng;the Conference.
'All the arrangements for the
comfort of the Conference and
spectators have been admirably
perfected by the reception.com
mittee and Manager Boag, of the
Opera House, so that there is no
break or confusion in the matter
of seats.
'At' the evening session there
was'a large congregation present.
Rev. Jno. Attaway led in prayer,
and after the singing of a hymn
and prayer by Rev. Thos. Leitch;
he announced his text, which was
taken from the 19th chapter and
2nd verse of the Acts : "Have ye
received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed ?" Het spoke with great
fervor and eloquence. His ad
dress stirred the congregation to
its highest pitch.
After prayer, the singing of a
hymn, and the pronouncing of the
benediction, the congregation was
dismissed. d
At the night meeting, at the
Opera House, Rev. R. D. Smart
preached to a large and apprecia
tive audiance. He text was from
Revelations, 2nd chapter, and the
latter part-of the 17th verse: "To
him that overcometh will . give a
white stone, and in the stone a
new name written which no man
kno*eth, 'saving he that receiv
eth it.' '
Mr.'Smart considered his sub
ect in an exhaustive way, and
impressed his audience with his
earnestness. The usual services
were'conducted, both before and
after the sermon.
The Conference will me'et again
to-day at the same place at 9.80
o'clock; when the regular business

Services at the Various Ohurohes.
Thursday, Thanksgiving Day,
especially appointed by the pro
clamation of President Cleveland,
was duly and regularly observed
by the . people of Winnsboro.
Although in no part of the town
were ai of the basiness houses
closed for tlie whole day, yet the
observance was general, the pub
lie oflces atiid oorp'ioetiQns being
closed entirely and the people
generally attending divine service
at; the different churches.
''eivids wvere held in the Asso
ciate Reformed Presbyterien
Church, in the Methodist ihurch,
the Presbyteriar Church, and the
Opera' House,.an account of the

*Atthe A. RP. Churchr Dr. A.
Coke .Smith, of Spartanburg,
preached a grand, eloquent .and
effective sermon to a large audi
once. IHe took his texrt from St.
Matthew,'10th chapter, 8th verse,
and the latte clausn of the verse,
"rreely ye' ia q received, -freely
giye." I
Dr. smith, in his,,discoise,
spoke of t he great gifts given to
us- by. God n this country, that
from these,gifts our people oight
to, consider.. their.Christian duty
ip, the evtngelisation of the world.
This odntry,:.iu'the providence, of
od'"was :the- cen<tre from which
the, great %rinciples of the Chris
tian,religion were to radiate. '
The Dootor, in a most eloquent
way, presented these facts,; fro;n
which. he ' deduced the .natural
lesson, that we all should exert
ourselyes to do the utegost in our
power. Notwithstanding the fact
that there were congr,gattons, as..
senibled in other , parts, qf, the
town, .Dr. Smith's :audience was a
large. one, . qpe that- abundantly
enjoyed his words of comfort and.
hope, and one which appreciated
the grand advantages and oppor
tunities given us.
At the coholusion of the ser
mon a collection was taker4 up for
the . benefit of the missionary
work of,,the -A." R. P. Church.
At the Presbyterian Church
Rev. W. 'M.. Duncan of the Con
forenee preached. His text was
taken from the 11th Psalm, 12ih
and 14th verses : "What shall I
render to - the Lord for all his
benefits toward me ?.: r Will take
the cup of salvation and call upon
the Lord."
Mr. Duncan showed and pic
tured the great mercies and bless
ings of. God to his people, that he
had b0stowed upon them. He
showed how in ourselves we were
nothing-could. do nothing with
out th'e, grace of, God. We are
dependant upon God for every
blassiig,;but we are 'ungrateful
for them.
Mr. Dundan's sermon was de
livered to a large assemblage, who
greatly. appreciated his words, and
who will - in' future hold him in
fond remembran'ce..,
At the Methodist church: the
Episcopal congregation held . a
Thanksgiving service. The ser
vices were conducted by Rev.' Mr.
Glass who' did not preaoh a ser
mon. The exeroisos were short
and appropriate-to the. day, being
deeply solemn and. very impres..
sive.. .There was at tlis' neehgg
also a(lrrge gatherinp. Thus Was
the annu lThanksgivig day spent
in Winnsboro, and we are certaj
every man, woman.and ohil in,
