The centennial celebration at Rehoboth was quite a success Aug ust 13, 1933. The weather was ideal, light rain cooled the parched earth and made it more pleasant for the large attendance which many thought came near the thousand mark. There were people thercs from Florida, Augusta, Shel by and Asheville, N. C., Greenville, Johnston, Edgefield, Parksvjlle, Plum Branch, and many other places. It" was a great day meeting and greeting former friends. Dr. D. V.- Cason of McCormick gave the sermon. It was very appro priate, taken from Genesis, where Isaac, again digged the wells of his father, one of these wells he nam ed Rehoboth. The centennial pro gramme was in the afternoon, first was the church history, next an address by a former pastor, Rev. H. .M.. Hodgens. He brought us a fine message and greetings from h^s tVo churches, one 99 years old and the other 120 years. . We all enjoyed a splendid address from Editor J. L. Mims. Many en joyed the few remarks by Rev. J. D. Hughey, Jr. Owing to the late hour he only made a few remarks. He promises to come again and preach for us sometime. The love of Christ shines forth from the face of this enthusiastic young minister who is not yet 21. Mr. H E. Freeland made a good talk and showed the -audience a decanter that was used to bring sacrament wine to the church by Mr. Dock Martin and probably his father be fore him.

M. Morgan once. Miss Virginia Free- and played for Sunday School Sunday a. m. The social hour was very pleas antly spent meeting old friends. Friends from far and near help ed out with the lunch which was bounteous and delicious. We are in debted to many for the help. The day, although too short, will long be remembered. *xt Headquarters Staff of Gen. Johnson’s Blue Eagle Army m ii mm ■ i m -A- m mm u.s.

Leon T. Presslv Mt. Carmel, Aug. 9.—Once more the little town of Mt. Carmel has “passed under the rod.” Every eye was filled with tears, and every heart with grief and sorrow, when the news reached here of the death of Rev. Leon T. Pressly, which occurred at his home in McCormick early Saturday morning. Rev. Mr. Pressly had servea the A. R. P. Church as pastor for over 13 years and the charming person ality and splendid Christian char-, acter endeared both'-Rev. and Mrs. Pressly to the entire community, and we grieve with the bereaved heart-broken wife and daughter, for their loss is our loss too. They have lost a devoted hus band and father; We have lost a true, faithful and consecrated pas tor, who lived his religion. He shared our joys and pleasures, and he also shared our adversities and sorrows. No sacrifice was too great if it was to serve his Master and poor frail humanity. He never swerved from the path of duty, and no inclement weather ever* pre vented him from being in his pul pit. He loved his church, for he loved his Lord with a pure heart. He re alized that the imperative duty, of a Christian is to live as Christ liv ed and to walk as He walked. This was strongly emphasized in hJLs last meeting here, a week previous to his death. He believed in prayer, and what it can do when it comes from the heart. Such prayer turns darkness into light, weakness into strength, fear into faith, and carries one,in to the very presence of God; Such were his prayers. We will miss the hearty hand clasp, the bright,' happy* smile which always welcomed us. He was a man this town and county can ill afford to lose, but we bow in humble submission to His divine will, and thank him for the 13 years he served the church. It grieved him to see people forget ting God for he realized so Well how dependent is poor frail hu manity. The cordial cooperation here among all the churches was a great pleasure to him, for he loved all and all loved him. We extend tq the bereaved loved ones the loving and heartfelt sym pathy of all. Faithful to death, God crowned him with life, • Purified, glorified, fit for the sky. All that we loved in him. Never can die. GREENWOOD, S. C.
