The sunbeams carried out their
Jhome mission programme Sunday.
The ne^t president, Bernard Gil
christ, had the programme in
charge, and did splendidly. The
contribution amounted to $1.02, a
fairly good contribution for only 8
children. In many years as sun
beam leader, this is the first time
I have been able to persuade a boy
to act as president and it makes
me feel very proud of Bernard
and hope to see him a great Bap
tist leader some day..
Thinking of the sunbeams brings
to mind a Sunday school class of
boys and girls I have taught for
years until this year when the en
largement campaign divided up
the classes and took some for
teachers and others given to an
other class. These boys and girls
are scattered now. Some have
made homes of their own, while
others are away at work. I wish
for all of them who read this to go
back to childhood with me, and in
mind gather back at the old class
and think with me of the days I
taught you. How interested you
were when I tried to teach you of
Jesus with no other aim than to
help you to grow up to be fine
men and women. I have your in
terest at heart the same now and
rejoice to see you succeed. A few
of you are still here—others away.
To each I give you God speed.
Those who are away are Mary
Luda Hughey, now in college,
Perry Whatley a successful busi
ness man in Atlanta, Bennie Moul
trie, and Marion Traylor who are
at work hi Augusta, doing well,
John Moultrie, Hu<?h and Ans-? 1

field, and Martha Culbreath whc
holds a position in Augusta. In
this class of 20 or more only one
has gone home, Tom Seigler.
. Superintendent Freeland, who is
faithful to his Sunday school,
made a request Sunday morning
that all who would join him and
his wife to meet at the home of
his cousin, Miss Carrie Belle
Freeland, Sunday afternoon at 3
o’clock for a song and prayer serv
ice. A few minutes before the ap
pointed hour about the whole Sun
day school of about 20 in number
gathered there—all willing to face
the cold wind to be of any com
fort' to our little blind friend. We
found her in good spirits.
MESENA, Ga., Mar. 2.—Icy blasts
from somewhere north blew down
the main street of Mesena today
but found it deserted.
The town’s eight homes were
snug with warmth from big pine
logs in great fireplaces. All the
members of the household were
not beside the fires, however, for
some of those in each family were
attending religious services in Me-
sena’s five churches.
Regular pastors were in their
pulpits as Georgia's most churched
town went about its Sabbath du
ties. There were no services in the
two social halls, where “preach
in’ ” is often held, and where all
funeral rites are said.
Mesena has only 25 inhabitants,
God must have given the ex- ; all pious people. The town is in

ing. Supt. Freeland read some
scripture and sent up to God a
beautiful prayer. Several songs
were sung and the scene was one
of a prayerful attitude. The sweet
song words surely reached the
throne of God. Traces of tears
could be seen on the faces of
friends, tears of sympathy—there
were tears in the voices. Miss A.
L. Morgan also read some scrip
ture and prayed.
The patient little sufferer looked
so neat and nice, the home was
so orderly, the presence of Jesus
was felt. Surely Jesus was hover
ing over the sick bed, with out
stretched arms over the little
band of people who so gladly gath

the little sufferer. Just before the
party broke up to go home, she
was showered with dimes, some
presenting several of them, and
more are expected by the middle
of the week. The fifteenth of
April is her birthday and this is
for her a birthday shower. Sev

Mrs. Kate Moultrie, Mrs. Dora

Greenwood Plans
To Locate German
Families In County
A colonization project to bring
to Greenwood county people from
Germany and other countries of
northern Europe, has been launch
ed by the Greenwood chamber of
commerce according to announce
ment Saturday by J. G. Dowling,
president of the organization.
Otto Herrold, a native German
and for a number of years con
nected with the Canadian nation
al railroad, has been placed in
charge of the work and already
has completed plans to locate sev
eral families here at an early date,
Mr. Dowling said. Mr. Herrold is
being assisted in his office by Miss
Johanna Prosch, German stenog
rapher, who recently arrived from
New York. Plans are under way
to advertise the county through
out Northern Europe during the
next 12 months.
S. H. Hart, secretary of the
chamber of commerce, said that
the movement has been indorsed
and is being financed by local
banks, land banks, railroads and
large landowners and he is con
fident it will mean the develop
ment and ^cultivation of many
farms now # lyhig idle and in sta
bilizing land values. Mr. Hart de
clared he hoped, with the assist
ance of Mr. Herrold, to locate at
least 500 families in Greenwopd
county in the next five years.
It is understood that Mr. Har-
rold came to South Carolina at the
request of bankers and business
men interested in German colon
ization. After visiting several sec
tions of the state he chose Green
wood county as the best field for
his activities because the class of
immigrants he will bring here are
interested in dairying and he was
attracted to Greenwood by the
news of the establishment of a
cheese factory here at an early
date.

Club Has Meeting
The McCormick Home Demon
stration Club met at the court
house Wednesday afternoon. Feb
ruary 6, with a good attendance.
During the absence of the presi
dent and vice-president, Mrs.
Sallie Mattison lead the devotional
exercise, which was followed by
club songs.
Minutes of last meeting read by
the secretary and roll call. Each
member was asked to answer with
two vegetables she had for dinner:
this being, of course, to see if
members were carrying out food
habits of score card, which Mrs.
Stallworth is stressing so strongly.
“Food and its preparation” is our
subject for first six months.
Nine new members were enroll
ed, making our membership thirty
nine. At the last meeting a re
porter wasn’t elected, so Mrs. Stall-
worth asked that one be appoint
ed, and Mrs. E. J. McCracken was
voted in by the club.' No further
business.
We had a very interesting dem
onstration on “Salad making,” by
Mrs. Stallworth, assisted by Mrs.
Rush. Two salads were tried out,
one fruit, and the other vegetable
salad. These delighted all the
“tasters.” Each decided to go home
and try out on her husband four
times before next meeting.
We also tried out our muscles in
“Smile Awhile” as well as our mus
ical voices in learning club songs.
The club is planning a big day
about the middle of April.
Come to the March meeting and
find out what it’s all about.

Feb. 25, 1930.
Mr. Edmond J. McCracken,
McCormick, S. C.,
Dear Sir:
I am too sick to write now. I am
88 years old. I am lonesome. All
my friends and comrades have
gone over the border and I am
waiting for the call to join them.
How soon it will come. I think one
of the greatest pleasures we will
have over there is meeting with
the loved ones who have gone be
fore. I believe in God and I be
lieve in the immortality of the
soul.
You may think this is a strange
letter. All my life up to one year
ago, I have kept pace with the
movement of the world; had an
interest in all events. Stuck in
now for ten months. I have been
practically an invalid. My devoted
nurse is penning these lines for
me.
The items from Willington, Bor
deaux, Mt. Carmel are all interest
ing and looked over with care.
