X Rehoboth News Rehoboth was well represented at the annual meeting of the W. M. U. of the Edgefield Association, August 30th, at Little Steven’s Creek church. Many had never been to this historic church before that has stood for nearly a century and a half. Several generation^ have labored at this sacred shrine, among the sheltering oaks; the grounds are well kept; an ideal place to meet the Master, to walk and* talk with Him. This church has given to the world many valu able Christians. The weather had been very warm for several days, but the day of the meeting was much cooler, slightly cloudy. Can’t we see the Master’s hand in giving ideal weather for such a large gathering. There were people there from all over the county and different points of other States. The welcome was given by one of the faithful members. No one could feel unwelcome at* a place that was so filled with Christian atmosphere. The response was just as well given. We all love Mrs. W. J. Hatcher and enjoyed her scripture reading and prayer. We all enjoyed Dr. Burts’ won derful address on temperance. Said it had been proven that whiskey did not make a man braver, did not cool his body in summer, nor heat it in winter, a drink did not still the nerves. He urged the women vote honestly and sincerely on November 7th. After his address our beloved Airs. J. L. Mims gave a few splendid resolutions on temperance that were adopted by the union. Miss Amelia Wideman favored us with two lovely songs during the day. Miss Wideman is very unself ish with her talents. She is al ways willing to share her sweet voice with any who ask it. She al so has a charming personality that wins for her friends wherever she goes. Edward Hodgens sang a sweet song for us. He is very gifted and we are all expecting and hoping he will make a mark in the world that will make his parents and friends very proud of him. Members of the Little Steven’s Creek Church favored us with sev eral songs. The programme an nounced a male quartette that was much enjoyed. The lunch hour was enjoyed by all. Mr. Jim Bell asked all the Christians to come up to the table for lunch. Everyone must have been Christians. The lunch was bounteous; all kinds of well pre pared foods decorated the long table. The hospitable people most graciously served the lunch, and iced tea was very refreshing. Dr. John Lake was the only one who could skillfully use the Chinese chop sticks. After lunch, Mrs. Lake gave us a lovely talk. Her heart seems brim ful of love for the Chinese whom she expects to labor with in a few months. She spoke of a Chinese girl that was in college with her affd in whom'she still has great in terest, and is looking forward to meeting her in Hong Kong. Mrs. Lake has a very pleasing personal ity and was readily adopted by a standing vote. Now she really be longs to the Edgefield Association, as does her distinguished husband, who was bom in Edgefield County about five miles from Steven’s Creek Church. Both Air. and Mrs. Lake are in terested in the welfare of the young people and pleaded with them to lead pure and'clean lives, and that they do not have to go to China to be a missionary. Many in the audience raised their hands when Dr. Lake asked all he bap tised to raise their hands. He said his great grandmother dedicated him, when a tiny babe to be a mis sionary. He also asked the parents if their children Telt the call to be willing to give them up to God. The reports were not as en couraging as at times, but the leaders seemed to feel the societies were doing their best under the circumstances. Mrs. Tillman, the faithful superintendent, is always encouraging and sees better times just around the corner. The meet ings are following the creeks. The next meeting will be at Mountain Creek Church the last week in August 1934. The girls from the orphanage sang for us very sweetly twice. Our hearts always soften towards the orphans and a silent prayer goes up for God to give us more to give to help make them happy. The Edgefield W. M. S. presented them a box of candy. Mrs. G. S.
