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.
Mrs. Carrie Talbert visited her
two sisters, Mrs. Mary Wash and
Mrs, Anna Seigler, also spent a day
at her old home last week and
spent Sunday in the home of Mr.
and Mrs. J. P. Talbert.
Mr. James Talbert was home on
short leave from Camp this week
end. His cousin, Mr. Edward Strom
visited him while at home.
Some of the young, people of this
section enjoyed a straw ride re
cently.
Mrs. E. M. Morgan and Miss A. L
Morgan enjoyed an afternoon very
pleasantly with Mrs. Li W. Ridle-
hoover Monday.

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.
