There were special services in all of the churches in the morning and ; good congregations were in attend- i ance. Music by the choirs and themes 1 for discourse by the pastors were < appropriate to the great sacred fes- ( tival. It being the first Sunday in the month, union services were held at ( the Baptist church in the evening, conducted by Rev Dr Edwin M Potest, president of Furman university, assisted by the pastor, Rev W E 1 Hurt, ana Rev P S McChesney, of the Presbyterian church. The church was well filled with members of the Methodist, Presbyterian and Baptist congregations. At the Episcopal church services , were held at night,conducted by the ( minister, Rev H D Bull.
