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. Doctor advised amputation,
but he refused and reluctantly:
tried Bucklen's Arnica Salve as a
last resort. He then wrote: "I used i
your salve and my foot was soon
completely cured." Best remedy for
burns, cuts,bruises and eczema. Get
a box today. Only 25c. All druggists

BENDING FORWARD.
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.

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'

driver named Priestly, who at Hull,
in 18G3, jumped 1,000 hurdles each
three feet six inches high in sixty- j
one and a half minutes. It is said I
that this record has never since j
been equaled. Priestly began omni- j

and during his forty-six years in the j
service of the London General Om- j

Discouraging.
Mr. Jordan was touring by motorcar
and arrived at a crowded village
inn quite late in the evening.
There was no spare bed to be had,!
which was a great disappointment, j
as he was tired and very much dis- j
liked the thought of driving farther
that night.

Gladstone's Apology.
Mr. Gladstone once denounced
certain members of the opposition
as "a lot of truckling attorneys," a
phrase which caused some indignation.
On the following day he said:
"1 recently described some members
as 'truckling attorneys/" I now
wish to apologize"?some applause
from the aggrieved parties interrupted
him?"1 now wish to apologize?to
the attorneys."
