Campbell Dry Clean ers Give New Prices (Too Late For Last Week) i • .* Quite a good many from Reho- both attended and enjoyed the An nual W. M. U. meeting with the Mt. Creek Church. It was especially interesting to your correspondent, being the girlhood home of my mother. It was sad to roam over the cemetery and pause at the last resting place of the ones who rear ed my mother. The church wore a festive dress of beautiful flowers for the day and looked unusually young for a hun dred years. Of course this build ing is not that old. The attend ance was much larger than some of the meetings. The speakers were all splendid. The attentive atten tion showed that the talks were most interesting. Our missionary, Miss Lila Watson, home on fur lough from China, made a most in teresting talk on her work. I felt almost like I had attended the Southern Baptist Convention in Texas after closely following Miss Vonnie Lance, minus the long trip. Mrs. Griffin gave an inter esting address on youth. I believe Plum Branch had the largest attendance, and it is one of three A-i churches in the associa tion. The dear little Sunbeams did well. A most interesting playlet was given from the Edgefield W. M. S. by Miss Hortense Woodson and sev eral <other young people from Edge- field. It was interesting and amusing. Miss Woodson carried out the part of Aunt Mary just splendidly, as she does all she un dertakes. The music and songs were just fine. The closing song of the playlet was the favorite of our little blind friend, Miss Carrie Belle Freeland, “Have Thine Own Way Lord.” A most bounteous and delicious lunch was so pleasantly served by the Mt. Creek people. The Parks- ville church will entertain the W. M. U. annual meeting a year hence. We were glad to see several pas tors present, and a number of visi tors from other churches. The Rehcboth H. D. Club held an interesting recreational party at the home of Mrs. Sallie Gilchrist Friday evening, August 31st. The club president, Mrs. Strom Cul- breath, and the secretary, Miss Marie Gilchrist, led the games and contests that were well gotten up and played with much interest and laughter. There were several con tests with prizes, also a puzzle con test. There was a large attend ance and a few visitors from neigh boring communities added to the gaity of the evening. Just before the departure a delicious lunch was enjoyed by all. Mr. Richard Gillam and his niece who so tenderly cares for him, spent several pleasant days in Aiken last week. Mr. H. E. Ffeeland is on the sick list this week. A number of friends and relatives have called to see him.

STROM Main Street McCormick, S. C. I»y Krv. Clsarles E. Disfvia, Isaiah Contrasts False Worship. and True Lesson for September 16th. Isaiah 1. Golden Text: Psalm 24: 3,4. This stirring sermon of the prophet Isaiah is a thrilling call to reality. The Lord, argues the prophet, will not tolerate worship, however elaborate and ceremonial, whose fruits do not manifest the earmarks of righteousness. The heart of the lesson is to be found in the 16th and 17th verses. “Wash yourselves clean, banish your evil doings from my sight, cease to do wrong, learn to do right, make justice all your aim, and put a check on violence.” What does this mean in terms of today? Were Isaiah now alive I imagine that his message would sound something like this: “The fundamental cause of our existing social anarchy is a selfish insist ence upon individual rights. Unless a workable strategy of social plan ning is developed, suicidal chaos will inevitably result. * “The millions who can find no* work tragically demonstrate the obsolete character of our economic system. They are not Belgian refugees cr victims of a flood or earthquake, but the dupes of a stupid, unjust social order over* which they have no control. To effectively release them from their plight the State and Federal Gov ernments must provide adequate relief funds, launch large-scale construction programs, and estab lish unemployment insurance.. “The Church should take a lead ing part in the gigantic struggle for social reconstruction. Her stake in the fight is momentous, for the basic social and ethical problems of our industrial civilization, are deeply human and personal. She 1 must keep herself well-informed,, and must ever'be on the alert to hazard much for righteousness. This is no time for complacency: The Society of ChAst must be pro foundly discontented with things as they are.
