To tho memory of Mrs. Susan L. Lea
man, daughter of William and Mary
Waldrop, and wife of Major Samuel Lea
man. She was horn on the 4th of Au
gust, 1839, joined tho Baptist church at
Beavordam, in Laurens county, in tho
summer of 1802, married Major Samuel
Loaman on the 31st of May, 18(15, and
died on tho 18th of April, 1894. A.few
words have sufficed to indicate tho out
ward events of a human life of which the
world takos cognizance?born, converted,
married, died. Within these words was
tho beginning and ending of a real,
genuine, human life, abounding in
domestic, social and Christian influences
ftorvading tho household and stretching
ar out into the community. Who is
adequato to the portmynl of such a life?
Who can picture forth tho outward de
velopment of a true, womanly life in the
closo and tondor rolations of friond,
neighbor, wifo and mother? The sud
den passing away of a truly good woman
from her sphere of duty and quiet minis
tration is always a loss?a loss to the
community, and an intenno, a sorrowful
loss to tho household. Tho writer can
deeply sympathize with tho bereaved
husband. Ono of tho fittest objects of
our Christian sy!n| athy is tho man,
already in tho h lino of life, who is
called upon to Struggle dally undor the
pressuro of increasing Infirmities with
the grief occasioned by tho death of a
good Christian, helpful wifo. May tho
abounding sympathy of (lod rcconcilo
tho desolate husband to tho loss ho feels
in his great bereavement. Tho five
children who enjoyed her full maternal
care from infancy, and who owe it to
mother, her womanly faith and her
patient work. I hat thoy havo stronger
characters and better opportunities,
have a logaey in tho remeinbranco of
that devoted life which was daily em
bodied before their eyes in ceaseless
acts of sympathy and hanpinesa. The
motherless homo is a sad picturo, and
>bl what loneliness of isonl gathers
*onnd tho words?''Loft alone."

Tho Sunday School Picnic at
Ora.
Tho Church at Ora has boon tho
scene of many specular effects, but
novor in all its history has it booh
more beautiful than it was last Thurs
day when decorated, in which to cele
brate the A. R. P. Sunday School pic
nic. The pulpit was almost covered
with (lowers, with just enough whito
and green among them to bring out
their many brilliant colors. Growing
plants were prominant, with just
enough flowers in bloom to form a
ploasing contrast. This decoration
was all the work of woman's soft touch.
A very interesting programo had
boon arranged, consisting of music,
speeches ana dinnor, and when there
is such a combination of good things,
it is difficult to find tho superlative uo
groe. Capt. W. A. McClintock, evor
ready in any, and all emergencies to
do his duty, came forward with eccles
iastical dignity to prosido and to deliv
er tho opening addross, this address
added now laurels to his reputution,
ho took for his subject tho A. R. P.
Sabbath School here for tho last half
century. These pcoplo appreciate his
long continued service and interest in
the Sunday School, boing identified
first as pupil, later on and for many
years teacher, and oonfidontly cxpoct
ed a good addross, and it wus tho unan
imous opinion of tho largo audienco
that it added much to tho pleasure und
profilt of tho day.
Thon came an unthom by tho choir
which was sung in admirable stylo
with much spirit and effect.
Tho whole programo was intorspors
ed with the "sweot songs of David,"
and while wo onjoyed nil, our selection
was unusually beautiful that of the
2;kl Psalm, and worthy of special
praise. Tho song seemed to bocomo a
sighing wind and tho voices so blended
that each was lost in tho other, all
making ono sweot, rising, fulling,
swelling, diminishing chord, which al
most made tho listners imagine them*
solves in somo forest of pines whero
tho wind was playing an Eoliun harp
among the boughs of the trcos.
Tho next speaker, Mr. R. F. Blakoly
came forward and was Introduced, ho
had chosen as his subject "Kindness."
Noxt Mr. W. A. Blakoly gave us his
idoason "Thought." Thon Prof. W.
M. Bry8on tolls us what possibilities
bo in "Opportunities." Rov. Mr. An
dorson convinces us that it is hotter not
to form "Habits." They woro young
men of fine and impressive appcar
anco and oxprossod themsolvcs clearly
and gracofully, admirablo in thoir
simplicity and each spoke in such u
manner as to hold tho attention and
Interest, of tho audience, oliciting
warm and long continued appllauso,
almost a heartily applauded as If they
had been a protty girl?pretty girls
being a variety of tho human family,
who nave enormous advantages every
where and always, especially at pic
nic?now followed a whirl-wind of
congratulations on the dinner, a por
fect report, ono not prepared by unex
perienced hands but seasoned with the
essence of matured and polished expe
rience so nceossory to please the fas
tidious cpicuro and possessed that
primo essential of ovcry joyous feast?
a whole-souled cordial wolcomc. Yes,
welcome to our social hoard, "our feast
of rcacor. and our How of soul."
Thero Is now a strong disposition to
demand u repetition next Summer.
Tho success of this picnic is largely
duo to tho untiring effort of Mr. W. T.
Blakoly, tho retiring Superintendent,
and wo thought a rising voto of thanks
should havo boon tendered him.
