The corner window of the side tran? sept is dedicated "To the Confederate Dead" and displays the battle flags of the Confederacy.4 This memorial is indeed a beautiful work of art and has no duplicate in the South. This is erected by the Saint Anthony's Guild, of Florence. Mr. John W. McKiever, the well known contractor and proprietor of the McKiever Door, Sash and Blind Factory, is doing magnifies, nt work in the construction of this beautiful and substantial edifice. Father Wood is profu.se in his words of praise for ! the contractor and has left to him the entire responsibility for carrying out to the minutest detail the conceptions ' f the architect. Sumter is headquarters for the Sumter Mission composed of the con? gregations of Florence, Sumter, Georgetown, Cheraw and Camden. The Catholics of the entire mission evince great pride in the magnificent edifice now being pushed to comple? tion and the dedicatory exercises next December will be the occasion of a large gathering of South Carolina Catholics and rejoicing in the fold. Father Charles D. Wood is very popular in his charge, and everywhere else that he is known. Ami his pou larity is not confined to the members of his congregations because it is easily seen that Protestant and He? brew no less than Catholic esteem him for his many virtues and his per? sonal worth. He is a devoted minis? ter of God, enthusiastic in his work for the Master, devoted to the inter? ests of his flocks. He is not only in? terested in his church work but he is also public spirited and takes a great interest in the progress and prosperity of his State, and the cities and towns in which his work as a priest engages his time and attention. Inside of two years he has erected a ten room $8,000 rectory, and has well under way the magnificent $35, 000 church of Saint Anne. Reverend Father Cornelius Ken? nedy, the assistant rector, stationed in this city is beloved by all who know him. He is a quiet unassuming young priest, modest as to himself, but af? fable and courteous. He is a very de? vout and earnest minister and Fath? er Wood thinks like the Cahtolics of the Sumter Mission, that there is no one like Father Kennedy, and the members of the flocks whom Father Kennedy srves think that If there be any one like Father Kennedy, it must be Father Wood, and vice versa. During the exercises attending the blessing of the bell the following en? titled "The Sumter Mission Bell? Dedicated to May Murray Barrett? By 'M. M. M.' a Member of The Guild" was read. "Bing out; Ring out: Oh Mission Bell; Bing long and clear and sweet. And let the echoes of this dell Your throbbing tones repeat. Oh, speak for God. His kindly call For each dear soul impart His blessed voice whicdi gives to all A welcome to his heart. Bong linger among these stately trees And crown each lofty bower; Diffuse upon the morning breeze e blessed prayerful hour. Around this Altar they will kneel; The Sumter dock of Father Wood. And God will make each one to feel His promise true and good. At even; when the Sunset fades And lingers in the West Ere the twilight falling shades; Oh, chime the Angelous blest. Ring out upon the balmy air The hymn that Angels sing A call at close of day to prayer For Sumter Mission: old and young. Then of Salvation; Oh tell How God gave us his Son And clamor out dear Mission bell < d* peace and Heaven won. Then voice for us; the last of all Who sent you sacred bell With love urging us to call '<>ur Brethren" In this Southern dell.
