A SERVICE OF REJOICING At M. E. Church Sunday Niqht in Token ol Canceling Debt. A service of rejoicing was held in the Kingstree Methodist Episcopal church here last Sunday night to celebrate the payment of all indebtedness on the new $17,000 edifice. The success in raising a sufficient amount of money within about four weeks' time by the pastor and building committee of this church to mee: this obligation is considered by all tD be a most remarkable accomplishment. Since the completion of the church, about two years ago, a heavy debt has been hanging over ! the congregation. About four weeks J ago a movement was set on foot by j the pastor and a few of the laymen to raise money with which to pay off the indebtedness before the meeting of the general conference, at Rock Hill November 26. The movement proved successful and at 3:30 o'clock Saturday afternoon Rev D A Phillips collected the last $25 required to make up the $9,201.50 necessary to clear the church of ^ debt.. This sum was subscribed by members of the church and local V friends, and is remarkable frpm the fact that within the year the Baptist congregation has collected in the neighborhood of $10,000 and the Presbyterians $12,000, which they have applied to the building of hand-tome new churches. At the special service Sunday night the large church was filled to its capacity, all the local congregations uniting with the Methodists. Short addresses were made by the pastors and laymen from the Presbyterian. Baptist and Episcopal churches. On the pulpit platform were Revs D A Ph i ips, the pastor; P S McChesney, of the Presbyterian [church; W E * Hurt, of the Baptist church, and Presiding Elder R L Holroyd. The following: programme was carried out during: the evening: Voluntary?"Holy City"?Mr W HCarr. Hymn No 208. Prayer?Rev R LjHolroyd, P E. Scripture Reading?Rev D A Fillips, P C. "Spiritual Significance of the Church"?Rev P S McChesney, of the Presbyterian church. "Fraternal Spirit of the Churches" ?Rev W E Hurt, of tne Baptist church. "The Church Member"-Mr R B Smith. "The Church Official"?Dr W L Wallace. "Church Loyalty"?Hon R J Kirk. "Historical Survey of Kingstree Methodism"?Mr A C Hinds. "K ngstree, the Hub of the Dis trict"?Kev K JL Hoiroya, r n,. "The Last Link Found"?Rev D A Phillips, Pastor. "The Last Link Found," the subject of Mr Phillips' address, was the securing of a $25.00 contribution from Dr D C Scott at 3:30 Saturda> afternoon", which completed the work of raising the 89,201.50. At the close of Mr Phillips' remarks, Mr F W Fairey. chairman of the building committee, presented the papers to the pastor, who placed a lighted match to them, and as they went up in flames the congregation arose and sang the Doxology. The service was impre.-sive throughout and marks another epoch' in the history of Methodism and the generous spirit of the good people of the community. A Sop to Conscience. Adolphus Busch, the St Louis t brewer,who recently died,left $210,000 to charity, anent which the Kingstree Record appropriately remarks: "Not so much from an estate estimated at forty million dollars. J the acquiring of which doubtless conduced to the making of many object^ of charity.?Abbeville Medium. Saved His Fool H D Ely. of Bantam. 0, suffered from horrible ulcer on his foot for four years.

Why It It an Easier Operation Than Bending Backward. Can you Btoop and touch the I floor with your Angers without bending your knees? Any child can do it, and any man or woman who has not grown stiff through lack of exercise ought to be able to do it. But no one except a contortionist can bend as far backward as he <mn forward. The reason for this is threefold. The human body is so designed that ' '-.J. it. J: Denfling is easiest id toe utrecuuu | in which it is most useful. We can see on the ground in front of us; we cannot see behind us. Our arms are placed so as to work in harmony with our eyes, ahead of us, not behind us. We want to pick up things we can see. Therefore it is a wise provision that enables us to keep our balance when leaning forward more easily than when leaning backward. The weight of our bodies rests normally upon our heels, and our feet extend forward to take up our weight when we stoop. Again, the muscles of our bodies are massed where they will give us most power. The biggest and strongest groups of muscles are on our backs and the backs of our legs. Wlien we lift any weight it is this great chain of muscles that extends from the heel in successive links to the base of the skull that gives us the power. These muscles, when relaxed, are capable of great extension, in order that we may be able to bend far forward. In tension they hold us erect. The muscles on the front of our body, with the exception of that tremendously powerful ligament in front of the hip joint, are comparatively thin and weak. If we bend far backward they are not strong enough to pull us up again. TVio nnlv narta rvf +hf> artinfi thkt I V r ? J are capable of much backward bending are at the neck and waist. But at the waist the spines on the back of the vertebrae are so large and thick that when we bend backward they come together and prevent us from going any further. Then that powerful ligament in front of the hip joii^t is there for the express purpose of preventing us from falling backward, and it is not capable of much stretching. All these structural and mechanical details explain why we cannot bend nearly so far backward as forward. Our bodies are designed for stooping forward and were never meant for backward bending, which would, anyway, be of no use. ?New York Press. Gratitude Behind a Name. During 1608 Sir Christopher Newport while cruising off the coast of North Carolina ran into a very severe storm. After being tossed about on the ocean for several days his ship was driven by the wind into Chesapeake bay and landed at a certain "point/' Exhausted by his struggle with the ocean he found "comfort at last within this harbor" and he gave it the name of "Point Comfort." After some years other places along the Atlantic seaboard were given the same name, and as the Virginia point was the oldest the word "Old" was added to distinguish it from the others.?Ladies' Homo Journal.
