A NOTABLE EVENT Large Assembly Attended the Reanllfol and Impressive Ceremonies of the Occasion. Sunday, October 16th marked an auspicious epoch in the his tory of the First Methodist Church of Laurens. The occa sion was the formal dedication of the handsome new church build ing to the service of God. The weather was ideal and when the services were begun at 11 o'clock a tremendous audience filled the church, every available nook be ing occupied. A magnificent array of potted palms and ferns placed in ex quisite taste within the chancel and about the Church rostrum greatly enhanced and beautified the splendor of the occasion. The ferns were generously con tributed by Mrs. Ed Philpot from "Ferndale" while Mrs. Pluss and Mrs. J, M. Philpot furnished some very handsome decorative potted plants. An especially pleasing feature of the service was the rendition of a particularly beautiful and appropriate musical programme by the well trained choir. Occu pying seats with Bishop Duncan were Dr. H. N. Snyder of Spar tanburg, Dr. Robert Adams of the First Presbyterian Church, Rev. Henry Thomas, rector of the Episcopal Church, Rev. J. W. Kilgo, Presiding Elder, Rev. J. G. Huggiu of the Second Methodist Church and Rev. W. B. Duncan. The first prayer was offered by Rev. Mr. Kilgo, which was fol lowed by a few interesting re marks by Rev. Mr. Duncan, pas tor of the First church. Mr. Duncan stated that when he came to the pastorate of this church four years ago there was a bal ance of $7,000 owing on the church debt. It gave him great pleasuic to announce that this debt had been wiped out. Fur thermore the church had met and discharged all its obligations and meantime the pastor's salary had been raued $200. Over 100 names had been added to the church roll during his pastoral relations with the church. He took occasion to express his ap preciation of the hearty co-opera tion he had experienced in all his efforts. The dedicatory sermon, a learned and very eloquent dis course, was delivered by Bishop W. W. Duncan of Spartanburg. fThe basis of his j?rmon is found in the 17th chapter of St. John, beginning with the 20th verse: ['Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe in me through their word, etc. Before entering upon his ser mon the Bishop expressed his gratification with the progress the baud of Methodist of L,au rens had made. In 1854, the Bishop then a boy, spent his first night in South Carolina in the village of Laurens, moving from Virginia to Spartanburg. At that time the Methodist congre gation was a mere handful.? They have grown and expanded magnificently in 50 years. At the conclusion of the ser mon, the board of trustees and officers of the church came for ward and Mr. J. F. Bolt, as chairman of the committee, ten dered to the Bishop the church building formally dedicated and set apart for the worship of Al mighty God. The church committee was composed of the following: J. F. Bolt, W. L. Gray, O. B. Sim mons, A. Huff, H. Terry, T. H. Nelsou, C. C. Featherstone, J. F. Tolbert, R. E. Babb, J. I,. Hop kins, J. J. Pluss, Dr. W. H. Dial, Col. T. B. Crews, J. H. Sullivan, H. K. Gray, J. E. Philpot. This church edifice is one of the handsomest in the city, beau tiful in design, modern in archi tectural structure, and was com pleted about six years ago costing $14,500. The following con stituted the building committee: C. C. Featherstone, J. F. Bolt, O. B. Simmons, W. L,. Gray, J. H. Sullivan, Dr. P B. Connor, now of Greenwood, Dr. W. H. Dial, H. E. Gray, J. J. Roland. The last named gentleman who was one of the most liberal and ac tive members of the committee did not live to see the full fruit ion of his labors in this particu lar undertaking, having died some years ago. It was during the pastorate of Rev. R. Herbert Jones, now of THE CHRYSANTHEMUM FA1K. Officers of the Association and the Va rious Committees. Miss Leila Wilkes, President. Mrs. J. F.
